Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Inside the camp, Mo Han, the captain of the Iron Bull Soul Hunting Squad, personally received Xie Yue and Yan.

"What kind of spirit beast would you two like to hunt?"

"There are many spirit beasts in the Frozen Forest that are not found in the outside world. I guarantee you will be able to obtain the spirit ring you desire."

According to his subordinates, Wu Qi and his entourage were quite well-equipped; not only were they all dressed in expensive clothes, but they also checked into the town's most luxurious hotel upon arrival. Furthermore, they went on a large-scale shopping spree in town.

These people, who are not short of money, are a bunch of easy targets.

Xie Yue waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "No, we don't need your team's help with soul hunting. Instead, we need to purchase a batch of living supplies from your team."

While the Iron Bull Squad may have harbored ill intentions towards them, it was an unwritten rule that a real conflict could not break out in Soul Beast Town.

Purchasing supplies from the other party might even allow you to find out their scale of operations, so why not?

Mohan was taken aback.

As a team that has been stationed in the Soul Beast Town for a long time, they know the town's supplies very well.

Although the mountain closure has just been lifted and not all supplies have been brought in yet, the current supplies are enough for a five-person team to survive in the wild for more than half a year.

Now, Xie Yue and his group not only haven't hired a Soul Hunter team, but they're also buying a lot of supplies, clearly intending to stay in the forest for a long time.

If they were hunting souls, the surplus resources from the past six months would be more than enough for them to hunt their desired soul beasts. However, it seems the situation might be more complex; the other party is most likely not here to hunt souls, but rather to explore deeper into the far northern ice plains.

Those who dare to enter the icy plains are definitely not ordinary soul masters; there must be at least one powerful individual in the group.

Although the Iron Bull Squad spends most of their time in the Soul Beast Town of the Frozen Forest, it doesn't mean they're out of touch with the mainland. They still know some things about the mainland.

When Feng Xiaotian and the others completed the divine trials, they inevitably came into contact with the outside world, thus revealing their strength. Over time, news about them would also reach the northern part of the empire.

Mohan pulled himself together and asked, "How much supplies do you need? If the price is right, our team can provide some."

Soon, both parties reached an agreement on price and quantity, and Mohan then ordered someone to take Xie Yue and the other person to the warehouse to retrieve the goods.

Inside the tent, the middle-aged man who had been hiding in the dark room came out.

Mohan is nominally the team leader, but this middle-aged man is the team's founder and the boss behind the scenes.

The Iron Bull Squad has swindled and killed many employers from Hunter Soul. If they hadn't had backup plans, they would probably have become rats that everyone hates.

Mohan cupped his hands and said, "Boss, this team seems to be quite formidable. Should we abandon our plan?"

Xie Yue dared to flaunt his wealth in public because he wasn't afraid of being robbed. Besides, when they went to town to buy supplies earlier, they made quite a large group, making it hard to miss.

Such a high profile, if it doesn't have the strength to back it up, wouldn't it just be a stepping stone for someone else?

Mohan didn't believe that a group of wealthy young men would dare to be so high-profile without any real backing. Even if there weren't any strong individuals among them, there must be powerful members of their families protecting them in the shadows.

The middle-aged man snorted and said, "Unfortunately, I entered the town at the same time as them. I didn't find any powerful figures following them, nor did I see any strong soul power fluctuations emanating from them."

"They're bluffing, and you fell for it so easily?"

"Does that mean they can't get the money from us just because they didn't pay our team to help them hunt souls?"

Once you enter the Soul Beast Forest, it becomes a lawless zone. You can act as you please, and who will care?

...Inside the hotel.

After taking stock of the acquired supplies, Wu Qi nodded and said, "The supplies are enough, but this is not enough for walking on the snow."

Since Qian Gu Chang Kong and his companions had no experience entering the ice field, they naturally did not know that in addition to food, they needed to prepare other supplies.

"Brother Wu, what's still missing? I'll go prepare it now."

Wu Qi waved his hand, "No need, I'm all prepared. Remember, the snow is different from anywhere else. After spring arrives, the hours of sunshine will increase, and the sunlight reflecting off the snow will be extremely dazzling. Walking in this environment for a long time will cause eye problems."

Previously, Wu Qi did not know whether the divine test would be held in the far north, so he specially prepared a batch of supplies, which now came in handy.

The carriage entered the town just as dawn was breaking, and it was not yet noon, so there was no reason to linger in the small town.

Led by Wu Qi, the group went directly into the Frozen Forest.

The members of the Soul Hunter team who were keeping watch on the periphery were completely baffled.

Iron Bull Team Camp.

"They went straight into the forest?"

Upon hearing the report, Mohan's expression turned strange. He then waved his hand, signaling the person who had given the report to leave.

He went into the dark room and reported to the middle-aged man, "Brother, the situation has changed. They seem very familiar with the Frozen Forest. Our plan is in jeopardy."

The middle-aged man snapped, "Take your men and follow them. We'll make our move when the opportunity arises. If they're really capable, we'll retreat immediately. If they're just faking it, well, you know what to do."

……

The frozen forest was covered in a blanket of white, and the howling north wind was like sharp knives, stinging our cheeks.

Wu Qi possesses the Wind Domain, so even the strongest winds cannot get close to him; they can only feel a slight chill.

The Panlong Staff Martial Soul, which has been used for thousands of years and has been equipped with a fire attribute Soul Ring, is now walking on the snow wearing only a short-sleeved shirt, with steam rising from its body, seemingly unaffected by the low temperature.

Hu Liena, wrapped up like a dumpling, muttered, "You guys have fire-attribute abilities, why don't you activate your martial souls to keep everyone warm?"

Yan would certainly not refuse her request, but Wu Qi stopped him.

"Ice-attribute Soul Masters and Soul Beasts are extremely sensitive to cold. Once they activate their Fire-attribute Martial Soul, they will create a heatwave zone in the surrounding environment, making it easy for others to detect their movements."

"I'm in such a hurry to leave so that those with ulterior motives won't have a chance to prepare. If you do this, won't you just be attracting them here?"

Small-time people have their own way of surviving; as long as he doesn't offend Wu Qi, he won't bother with him.

The chaos within the Soul Hunter Squad definitely needs to be corrected in the future. However, all of this can only be achieved once Wu Qi truly ascends to that position.

Wu Qi's mental power was strong enough that he left mental markers along the way, allowing everyone to move in a straight line. These markers were extremely difficult to detect and would not dissipate over time. The return journey would not be affected in the future.

Compared to the Starry Sky Forest, which spans the area of ​​several provinces, the Frozen Forest is much smaller, but it is still about the size of a province. It will take some time to cross it and reach the far northern ice plains behind it.

The group of five traveled in a straight line at a rapid pace, much to the dismay of the several scheming Soul Hunter squads following behind. (End of Chapter)
