To put it another way, at this very moment, Medusa and Xiao Xue were a hundred miles away.
The snow on the Icefield suddenly intensified, and there were faint roars of beasts from the Void Realm; all of this clearly told the two of them that there was something unusual ahead.
Xiao Xue couldn't help but frown and look at Medusa. "What's going on?"
Medusa shook her head. "I don't know either. After all, if I have to say, I've only been to this place once."
"What do you think? Should we continue to go deeper?" Medusa asked, looking at Xiao Xue.
"...Let's go. Let's go take a look." Xiao Xue hesitated for a moment, then said.
Since they were already here, just lingering on the edge of the Icefield without going in wouldn't do.
Anyway, with her and Medusa's strength, even if they couldn't win, they could still escape.
If there was that kind of extremely lethal danger, the System would have already given a warning.
Hearing this, Medusa shrugged, tacitly agreeing to Xiao Xue's choice.
As the Empress of the Snake-People Clan, she, Medusa, was not one to be easily frightened.
She had cultivated for so many years, and not every matter had an absolute certainty of success.
In the path of cultivation, in most cases, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity.
Moreover, even if there was some unusual movement ahead, the probability of it being able to threaten two Dou Zong combatants at the same time was too small.
Therefore, Medusa didn't mind gambling on it with Xiao Xue.
The two looked at each other and then disappeared from the spot simultaneously.
The Northern Cold Land, the Icefield.
On the outskirts of the Icefield, one could often see mercenaries from some mercenary groups.
After all, the Demonic Beasts on the outskirts of the Icefield were not of high Rank, only around Rank 2 or 3.
Some small Demonic Beasts like ice scorpions only had Rank 1 strength.
But their tail stingers, Demonic Beast cores, and furs were all valuable items.
Therefore, there were quite a few mercenaries who formed groups to come to the outskirts of the Icefield to hunt.
And Icefield Wolves were pack animals, and generally, they would not actively attack humans.
Moreover, Icefield Wolves generally did not appear on the outskirts of the Icefield.
Therefore, as long as one didn't venture too deep, one generally wouldn't encounter a wolf pack.
But today, these mercenaries had encountered a beast tide, or rather... a wolf tide.
Dozens of miles away from the spot where Medusa and Xiao Xue had just stopped.
There were five mercenaries, running for their lives.
"Damn it, what kind of madness has gotten into these dog-like animals today?" a mercenary howled while running.
"Wild dogs? You call these two-meter-tall Icefield Wolves wild dogs?"
Another mercenary looked back at the distance, at the wolf pack chasing and killing the mercenaries, and spat wildly.
"How did this Icefield Wolf pack suddenly go berserk? Also, did you hear that terrifying beast roar just now?" another mercenary said.
"Big brother, what time is it now? You still have the heart to think about that? If you don't run, half your butt is going to get bitten off!"
This mercenary squad was on the verge of tears; they had originally come to see if there were any lone low-Rank Demonic Beasts they could kill.
Who would have known that today, for no reason, they would encounter a wolf pack slaughtering everything in all directions.
To be precise, before them, four mercenary squads had already been wiped out by the wolf pack.
It was only because the few of them had the strength of high-level Dou Masters and Great Dou Masters, and they were far away and discovered it early, that they managed to save their lives.
The most important thing was that the mercenaries could also tell that today's Icefield Wolves were completely different from before.
——Frenzied and bloodthirsty!
With their current state, and the current state of the Icefield Wolves...
Let alone this pack of dozens, with the level of the five of them, even if it was one-on-one, they might not be able to win!
"Brothers, don't give up, keep pushing! We aren't far from the fortress; once we get past it, we'll be safe!"
For Dou Masters and Great Dou Masters, running a marathon at full speed was really not a difficult task.
Therefore, as long as they maintained the current situation, there was still a good chance of running back directly.
However, some other mercenaries who ran slowly did not have such good luck.
Even if humans had intelligence, a small mercenary group, once surrounded by a pack of berserk Icefield Wolves, was doomed to die!
In the distance, a mercenary was pounced on by an Icefield Wolf in the snow, and then had his head bitten off in one bite.
Another mercenary was held in the mouths of two Icefield Wolves; the one on the left took a bite, and after biting, threw him to the one on the right to bite, tossing him back and forth like a relay.
The entire Icefield Wolf pack was rampaging; it was a tragic sight.
At this moment, from the depths of the Icefield, another beast roar that shook the heavens and earth rang out!
The mercenaries couldn't distinguish where the beast roar came from, but they felt a sharp pain in their ears, and even experienced temporary deafness, followed by a ringing in their ears.
The most exaggerated thing was that with the sound of the beast roar, the state of this pack of Icefield Wolves appeared increasingly bloodthirsty and crazy.
It seemed that with every beast roar that appeared, their frenzy increased by a point!
The mercenaries were running for their lives, but Xiao Xue, who heard the second beast roar, couldn't help but frown:
"Why are you roaring so loudly?!"
Looking at this posture, could it be... that some high-Rank Demonic Beast is about to be born in the Icefield?
This is... too exciting!
High-Rank Demonic Beasts, their whole bodies are treasures!
With Ah Li's Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, and extremely strong Soul Power, and the Bloodline suppression of Ah Li and Medusa over Demonic Beasts;
Facing humans, Xiao Xue might still need to expend some effort, but against Demonic Beasts, she really had nothing to fear!
A newly awakened Demonic Beast must be in a weakened state; no matter how awesome it was before, it couldn't display much strength now.
Therefore, Xiao Xue quickly advanced in the direction from which the beast roar came.
Medusa shook her head, and in the end, helplessly chose to follow.
She was now a bodyguard and hired thug; the boss's will was her will.
How fast was the speed of a Dou Zong? A moment later, Xiao Xue saw the rampaging wolf pack.
She couldn't help but frown slightly and quickly cast [Detect] on the wolf pack——
[BUFF: Ancestor's Roar.]
"Sure enough, a high-Rank Demonic Beast has awakened; it should be of the wolf race."
Then, she looked down at the mercenaries being surrounded and killed by the wolf pack below.
If no one helped them, these mercenaries would not escape death today.
Xiao Xue couldn't help but sigh; in fact, she was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business.
There were too many pitiful people in this world, like starfish on the beach; it was impossible to save them all.
In a world where strength is respected, being weak is the original sin.
However, when it came to things right in front of her, she couldn't pretend not to see them.
Could she save Qing Lin and Xiao Yi Xian because she felt they were pitiful, but ignore the dying people right in front of her?
She was currently in a real world, not cold, unfeeling text.
If she only relied on the advantages of the plot and only showed kindness to people who were useful to her.
Then, as time went on, she would likely live as an emotionless Puppet.
A faint dark gold condensed in Xiao Xue's pupils.
An invisible sword of Soul Power slashed fiercely down at the wolf pack below!
