Chapter 739: The Wolf Pack's Infiltration "Success," the Ice's Summoning, a Natural Chasm

Rat-tat-tat-

Boom-

"Damn it, these guys actually have such heavy firepower!"

"Shit, watch out for attacks from the flanks..."

"This bounty better be doubled, doubled..."

The tunnel area of the Gugu Ga Mountain Range had completely become a deadly battlefield.

The mercenaries had long known that the moment they left the tunnel entrance would be the moment their lives hung by a thread.

So when they were still 100 meters from the tunnel mouth.

As several smoke shells exploded, thick clouds of smoke completely enveloped the dozens of meters around the tunnel entrance.

Immediately after, mechanical combat vehicles and mobile hover motorcycles driven by mercenaries surged out from the tunnel.

And the instant they appeared, the Pioneering Group, who had already seen everything clearly through infrared detectors, unleashed full-force sniping.

Mechanical combat vehicles turned into fireballs under the artillery fire.

Although the mobile hover motorcycles moved with agility and speed, under the dense barrage, they were often shot down within dozens of meters of flight.

The battle entered a white-hot stage from the very beginning.

Yet because of this, the combat positions deployed by the Pioneering Group were also discovered by the mercenaries. During the second wave of assault, mechanical combat vehicles launched fierce counterattacks against the Pioneering Group's positions, and battlefield smoke grenades expanded the covered range to over a hundred meters.

At the same time, over a hundred mobile hover motorcycles swarmed out of the tunnel. The instant they left the tunnel, under the cover of smoke, they scattered in all directions.

Their movements were fast and nimble.

Even when the Pioneering Group spotted these enemies, with the opponents twisting left and right, up and down like butterflies, they simply couldn't hit them.

In the blink of an eye, these mobile hover motorcycles had already escaped through the blind spots of the Pioneering Group's positions, vanishing into the mountain range and the night.

And not far away lay an endless forest.

Alpha watched the rapidly fleeing red dots on the monitoring screen.

"This number should be about right."

He immediately began issuing orders.

"Alright, begin executing the closing-the-door plan. Now... push all remaining enemies back and seal the tunnel!"

-

"Haha, we've broken through the blockade line! Quick, everyone find the nearest city location along the road."

"I'm definitely getting this bounty! Plus a 10% share of the loot. I'm rich!"

"Once this mission is over, I'm going to the Red Romance Bar to find the hottest girl..."

Cheers erupted one after another through the mercenary squad's encrypted comms headsets.

Dozens of mobile hover motorcycles shot into the forest like lightning, disappearing without a trace.

Except, they didn't notice that as they flew past.

On the ground, among the tree branches, within the ice and snow, tiny instruments recorded their movements exactly as they were.

At the same time, at Johnck Zoo.

Yu Yuan was preparing to conduct a ceremony.

After receiving Alpha's message that "enemies have completed infiltration."

He revealed a satisfied smile.

"Now everything is ready, the stage has been set. Please don't disappoint me!"

"Qiming!"

As Mona activated the ritual and the Dark Sanctum descended, an Ice Faith aura surged from Yu Yuan's body.

Above the Altar of Life, the Ice Faith Channel slowly descended.

The Ancient Ice Troll, who had originally fallen into deep slumber near the Gugu Ga Mountain Range, slowly awakened from its sleep.

It had been disturbed.

The ceaseless explosions reaching its ears made its mood extremely irritable.

Because it meant someone had invaded its territory, and worse, these invaders were destroying this mountain range.

The Ancient Ice Troll sensed the mountain range's weeping and agonized wailing.

Already not particularly intelligent, its violent emotions spread through its heart.

Its body, originally fused with the mountain range, began to tremble slightly.

Ice, snow, and rocks came cascading down.

By the time it slowly straightened its body, it was already a creature over fifty meters tall, its entire form composed of ice and rock.

Its arms were very long, almost reaching the ground.

The Ancient Ice Troll placed its right hand on a section of the mountain range, then lifted it.

The ice and rock on the mountain range actually automatically condensed into a massive, twenty-meter-long "wolf-tooth club."

Its gaze fell upon the distant enormous city, a flicker of wariness passing through its eyes. This was its instinct.

It could sense that there were five existences of the same Silver-tier there.

But the instinct to protect its territory drove it to eliminate all intruders.

Just then, the Ancient Ice Troll sensed the arrival of a familiar and comforting aura.

A consciousness appeared in its mind.

"The enemies of ice have appeared. They are shameless invaders, thieves, and destroyers. Gather! Children of ice, we shall annihilate them completely."

The not-particularly-intelligent Ancient Ice Troll stood in place for a full minute.

Before it finally understood the meaning of that consciousness, sensing the coordinates within its mind.

"Grr!" After letting out a cry of unclear meaning.

It lightly stomped the ground with its right foot, and the frozen ice and snow, like melting cream, slowly swallowed the Ancient Ice Troll, and it vanished without a trace.

Inside Qiming Mobile City.

-【Target has disappeared! Threat eliminated.】

Wu Qiming looked at the display on the screen, his brow slightly raised.

"My guess was indeed correct. This world's ice resources are abundant to the extreme, to encounter an ice-attribute Silver-tier creature so easily.

This is a precious biological resource. Once I take down Yu Yuan, I can freely develop this treasure world."

Then he looked at the intelligence report stating "Wolf Pack Squad has completed infiltration."

The curve at the corner of Wu Qiming's mouth grew wider, while his eyes narrowed smaller, revealing a dangerous glint of absolute determination.

Two seconds later, Wu Qiming sent orders to the airship fleet.

"Land to replenish energy and supplies, then raise altitude to cross over the mountain range, and follow the wolf pack's trail into the battlefield ahead of time."

The airship fleet immediately began its descent.

At the two tunnels of the Gugu Ga Mountain Range, following the wolf pack's successful infiltration, all the mercenaries who had been responsible for cover returned to the moving city.

Under Wu Qiming's orders, they began combat readiness and rest.

High in the sky, the contest between drones had also drawn to a close.

Under signal deception and radio frequency jamming, like an invisible aerial wall.

The drones released by the airships were completely intercepted from entering the Gugu Ga Mountain Range.

Wu Qiming's desire to use drones for assistance was strangled in the cradle.

And as the battle drew to a close, under the cover of night, Hogg led his bloodsucking werewolves away from the Gugu Ga Mountain Range, approaching Green Forest City at an unhurried pace.

Playing the role of pursuers.

A day passed,

The Wolf Pack mercenary squad, having crossed forests and wilderness, finally laid eyes upon Green Forest City, situated across the strait.

The wolf pack began to gather.

Looking at the enormous city separated by a single bridge, all the Wolf Pack mercenaries furrowed their brows.

"Damn it, there's actually a strait separating us from the city. This is big trouble."

The other mercenaries also wore grave expressions.

Their mission was to place transmission coordinates within fifty kilometers of the city.

The current distance undoubtedly met the requirement.

But-

The purpose of placing transmission beacons was to bypass geographical obstacles and strike directly into enemy territory.

If they placed it here, once the city teleported over.

This strait would become an insurmountable chasm.

As long as the enemy guarded this bridge, they would be trapped dead on the opposite shore.

Their mission would essentially be uncompleted.

And with pursuers behind them, retreating and taking a detour was already too late.

Now there was only one choice before them.

And that was to enter the city...
