Chapter 2903: Refraction of the Ice Field

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Ningxue had never felt that she was easy to get along with. She never paid attention to what she liked or disliked sharing with other people.

When some people approached her and chatted with her with a purpose in their minds, she would put on a temperament that hinted at them that she wanted to be left alone. In fact, too many people behaved strangely with her.

They either deliberately pretended to admire her or looked down on her. If a person was not sincere, their behavior would come off as annoying. Most people Mu Ningxue met were this way, which made it very difficult to get along with and hence, she came off as aloof and as cold as ice.

There were not many sincere women like Yan Lan. From her words, Mu Ningxue could feel that she did not intend to flatter her, nor did she have any ulterior motives. She just wanted to talk with her.

In fact, women like Yan Lan were honest. They would be the same no matter who they talked with.

Mu Ningxue was quite envious of her. Therefore, Mu Ningxue felt that Wei Guang was being impatient with Yan Lan because he was too proud of himself.

Wei Guang felt that Yan Lan was trying to suck up to him. But she really did not intend anything like that.

…

Yan Lan was a mage who was good at cooking. She had a unique understanding of food and knew how to match special ingredients. These ingredients could make people resist the invasion of cold and the spreading of the poisonous miasma.

Food Mage was a very rare profession, but it was critical in this itinerary.

“The Ice Wheel Flying Boat will be an important transport for us to travel in the Antarctic Continent. It can keep our feet out of the icy land and reduce the chance of them hurting because of the cold. Of course, the most important thing is the formation inside, which can warm our bodies and our blood. It can remove the ice invasion effect little by little.”

“Unfortunately, the Ice Wheel Flying Boat can’t work in all ice fields, so we have to do without it in some places. As we stay longer in the Antarctic Continent, the Clear Fire Formation will gradually lose its effect.”

“It would have been great if we also had the Ice Wheel Flying Boat and Clear Fire Formation in the past.” Wang Shuo sighed. He seemed particularly concerned about the difference between the past and the present.

It was natural to have such reactions. In the past, Wang Shuo was in a bad condition on the Antarctic Continent. He explored a long distance and lost his left leg, but not many people remembered his contribution. People in the Imperial Capital remembered him as the man who had stepped into the Extreme South Land only when the recruitment from the Five Continents Magic Association Alliance came. They needed him to be the guide for the current team.

The blue sea was getting purer. Nature would probably only show its original form vividly when it was close to the forbidden area that no one can enter. That was why the color of the blue sea was so stunning.

Some white icebergs appeared on the sea. They were like sailboats slowly drifting in the icy blue picture.

The icebergs weren’t actually floating, they were just the tips protruding on the surface and were part of vast icebergs underwater. Human sight and the ship made it seem like the icebergs were drifting.

Along the way, Mu Ningxue saw the wreckage of many ships. There were wrecks attached to the uneven corners of the icebergs, and others floated about 100 meters underwater.

Unlike the dilapidated ships hanging on the corner of the icebergs, the ships sinking in the sea gave off an eerie feeling. They were in the deep, calm sea where the light could not penetrate. They loomed like a ghost ship underwater. It felt like something in the ship was staring at the sea surface, and the resentment always shrouded the hull.

As the ship continued to sail, they could see a spectacular ice world. It was a clear boundary between the frozen sea and the blue water waves. When the Ice Wheel Flying Boat crossed the seawater and sailed on the ice, they felt like they had arrived in another world.

Everything in this world seemed static, like a magnificent white painting with blue and white ice mountains with thin ice layers.

“We are about to arrive on the Antarctic Continent,” said Wang Shuo. He felt uneasy.

In fact, he had not wanted to come here at all. When the cold and domineering air hit him, his left leg started to hurt.

“Let’s not rest. We must move on. We’ve already wasted a lot of time,” Wei Guang said to everyone.

“At this point, the outpost team must explore the route. There are some powerful Ice Beasts inhabiting the Antarctic Ocean,” Wang Shuo hurriedly protested.

Wei Guang glanced around and seemed reluctant. They could not move forward before the outpost team declared the road ahead to be safe.

“Okay, you guys go ahead and take a look. If there is no special situation, we will move forward at full speed,” said Wei Guang.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The personnel in charge of exploring the route were two brothers with similar appearance and figures.

The two summoned a white panther and a black panther. The white panther had a pair of wings and could fly in the air. On the other hand, the black panther had a more robust physique, sharp claws, and could run steadily on the ice.

The two brothers rode on their own summoned beasts. However, they disappeared from everyone’s sight after a short distance. This phenomenon made Wei Guang frown.

“The glaciers and ice surfaces here will cause various refractions of light, so the real appearance of the whole ice field we saw is not that of a flat land or undulating mountains. It may be more complicated with cracks, waves, glaciers, and icicles. I asked them to leave recognizable marks along the way,” Wang Shuo explained.

“If that’s the case, won’t we get lost easily?” asked the Royal Great Mage.

“This is not the scariest thing,” Wang Shuo said with a strange expression.

“What’s the scariest thing?” Wei Guang asked.

“Just as we can’t see the two brothers who have gone to explore the route, the powerful beasts living in groups in the ice field may be close by. When we accidentally step into an empty ice field, we might alert a group of beasts,” said Wang Shuo.

“Huh?”

“Such a strange thing actually exists!”

“It means that we are in danger no matter where we are!”

Everyone felt spooked after hearing that. The ice field was too bizarre and unreasonable!

“Therefore, we have to be extra careful when we move. Someone has to go forward to explore first, and someone might need to patrol the invisible “areas” around us to ensure that there are no powerful creatures and groups of Ice Beasts near us,” said Wang Shuo.
