All my hunting commissions come from another world?

"It's too cold here, let's leave first."

The lone bird gently patted the trembling neck of the heron-eagle-dragon, its breath condensing into frost in the cold air.

The cold here was far greater than they had imagined. The warmth provided by hot drinks seemed insignificant under the influence of the cold wave. Lone Bird and Olivia were able to hold on, but the other hunters and the accompanying support staff were finding it difficult to cope.

The lone bird raised its hand to wipe the frost off its eyelashes and pointed to the faint outline of the mountain rocks in the wind and snow: "The Star Team has discovered a cave ahead."

"The Originium heating system on Rhodes Island has been set up."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Si patted Huihui's head, and the silver ancient dragon knowingly spat out a cluster of sparks.

"You guys go first." Zhou Si's gaze swept towards the lurking shadows in the distance. "Leave this to us."

Without saying much, Ellie nimbly flipped onto the Heron Eagle Dragon, and made a gesture to Zhou Si as she left.

With a flick of the reins, the lone bird unfurled its wings, and the heron-eagle-dragon carried the two of them into the swirling snow.

Seeing that Lonely Bird and Ellie had left safely, Zhou Si unfurled the same gun wings as Huihui on her back.

"Huihui, shall we give these guys a big one?"

Roar--

The roar of the Sky Comet was full of excitement. Although it didn't like fighting, it enjoyed being with Zhou Si.

The spear wings turned, and the power surging from the earth's veins began to gather at the tips of the Sky Comet's wings.

Zhou Si grinned, crunching the Originium fragments with a loud cracking sound. A surge of scorching energy welled up in his throat, and blood flames churned within his body.

The scorching flames of blood accumulated within the fire bag—

A powerful dragon aura gathered at the tip of the gun wing—

The Honkai Beasts lacked intelligence, but these beasts sensed a great threat from the man and the dragon. The leading group of beasts stopped in their tracks, hesitant to move forward.

A blinding light instantly engulfed the entire battlefield. Huihui's Dragon Qi Cannon and Zhou Si's Blood Flame intertwined, forming a destructive torrent of energy.

Before the Honkai beasts could even utter a wail, they disintegrated in the dazzling light and flames. Their bodies, like ice and snow under the blazing sun, rapidly melted into a purplish-black energy mist.

The shockwave from the explosion swept across the area, clearing away the snow within a radius of hundreds of meters. The exposed rock walls were scorched red by the high temperature, crackling and popping.

When the intense light faded, the once densely packed herd of beasts had vanished without a trace. Only the charred marks on the ground proved their existence.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Zhou Si coughed violently a few times, spitting out several pieces of charred charcoal from his mouth. From the outside, it was impossible to tell what they were.

It can only be said that the fan-shaped fire does indeed deal high damage, but it also deals a lot of damage to the throat.

"Let's go, Huihui, let's go back first."

A little tired, Huihui raised her head and flew towards the temporary camp with Zhou Sixi on her back.

--------------------------

The data is dropping, there are no updates, and I feel like I'm about to have a relapse of my "YuYu syndrome" every day as I look at my books.

When will this long silence end?! I'm so tired of not having any updates! I can't stand it for even a day longer!

Everyone, please say something when you get back, okay? I'm begging you!

Next up is pypypypypypypypypypypypypy!

"Once a Cupid, always a Cupid! Kill!"

"I can't be bothered to reason with some guys; they don't deserve to listen!"

"You must keep your promise, or I'll be at your door right now."

"Loser? What's a loser? I'll show you how to beat them!"

"I came here for only three things: war, war, war!"

"High-energy band ahead! No breathing on them!"

The chat group admin, Flame Swordsman, Little Cupid Killer Wen Xun, delivered an important speech to the group members.

Madoka Kaname: How long have I been able to repay my brother Wenxun's kindness? ·°(?????)°·?

Yui Yuigahama: ?(T^T)?

Fujiwara Chika: ???

Sakata Gintoki: Who am I going to beat up today? Count me in!

Helicopter Elbow Strike: +1

Shiina Tatsuki: ?

The story begins on the morning when Wen Xun was about to exit the Sword of Truth after clearing the hard mode of Kamen Rider Saber.

The chat group, which was many years overdue, finally loaded.

Good news, the chat group is here.

Bad news: Omniscience and omnipotence are already the path to invincibility, so what use are you?

Chat group #114: [Oh my god, if it weren't for Winnie, Watashi!]

Wen Xun: "I'm only thinking about myself in the chat group."

Chapter 18 Then why don't you take down the Frozen Peak Dragon first? (4k)

Inside the cave, the Palicoes were busily moving about.

Their furry paws deftly set up the tent, occasionally letting out a "meow" as they gave commands. Rhodes Island's Originium heaters hummed softly, their orange-red light dispelling the chill inside the cave.

The lone bird squatted on the ground, carefully inspecting the newly assembled communication equipment.

"Reinforce this area again," Olivia directed two hunters, securing the tent edges with specially made steel nails. The crisp sound of metal clanging echoed through the cave.

Alicia leaned against the warm Originium equipment, the ice crystals on her long pink hair slowly melting. She gently massaged the slightly sore muscles in her arm with her fingers, which were red from the cold.

The warning bell at the cave entrance suddenly rang, and everyone stopped what they were doing. Lone Bird placed his hand on his weapon, but breathed a sigh of relief after recognizing who it was.

The heavy curtain at the cave entrance was lifted, and Zhou Si shook off the snow covering his body and walked in. There were still faint burn marks on his throat.

"Is it resolved?" Lonely Bird handed him a hot drink, his gaze lingering on his flushed neck.

Zhou Si took the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The warm liquid slid comfortably down her throat, and she squinted her eyes. "It's time to clear the room for now."

Then he gestured towards the outside of the cave, "But that guy is still inside."

Everyone turned to look outside the cave. Through the wind and snow, they could vaguely see dark shadows surging deep within the icy cliffs, and the aura of the Frozen Peak Dragon still sent chills down their spines.

The ground that Zhou Si and Huihui had just cleared was now covered with ice and snow again.

"But the temperature around here seems to have stabilized?"

Olivia was a little unsure, but Zhou Si and Alicia were certain of her idea.

"The Honkai energy concentration over there has indeed stopped rising."

Zhou Si sensed the situation over there. Just as Alicia had said, the Honkai energy in the Ice Mist Cliff area had stabilized and was no longer expanding outwards as recklessly as before.

Meanwhile, the Honkai energy detection instrument sent by Mebius showed that the Honkai energy concentration at the core of the Ice Mist Cliff had stabilized at 4000 HW, which was more than twice that of the Third Herrscher.

Alicia sighed softly, "It seems it's not planning to expand any further for the time being." She gazed into the depths of the icy mist, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, "Is it waiting for something?"

"They can't possibly wait for us, can they?"

Zhou Si said it half-jokingly, but after recalling her previous experience, she quickly shut her mouth.

The lone bird beside him rolled its eyes at him, thinking, "When did you come here and still have time to joke around?"

Seeing this, Zhou Si coughed twice, pretending that nothing had happened, and then took the book containing information about Dongfenglong from Bai and spread it out on the temporary conference table in front of him.

As the old papers were turned page by page, their contents were gradually revealed to the public.

Frozen Peak Dragon, a type of sea dragon that may appear in the ice field ecosystem, is named after its enormous size and ability to release cold air.

There isn't much description of the Frozen Peak Dragon in the guild. Unless faced with a threat, the Hunter Guild generally won't provoke those giant dragon species.

In addition, the Frozen Peak Dragon usually lives in the uninhabited polar regions, so hunters rarely come into contact with it.

"Looks like we're on our own."

Zhou Si shrugged, looking somewhat helpless. He had gone to great lengths to look up information, but found nothing.

The discussion was only halfway through when a shout suddenly came from not far away. A moment later, a hunter carrying a long spear rushed over.

The discussion was in progress when a hunter carrying a long spear rushed over: "Lady Olivia, something's happened!"

"What's wrong?" Olivia frowned.

“We found a strange orc at the bottom of the cliff,” the hunter said, scratching his head.

"Strange orcs?"

Everyone present was a little puzzled, except for Lone Bird, who seemed to remember something. When they first arrived at Ice Mist Cliff, they had indeed saved a strange-speaking orc from the Shadow Spiders.

“I might know that guy. He’s been around this area a lot, so he might know something.”

"Let's go then, let's go take a look."

The others had no reason to refuse; they needed more information, and they quickly followed the spear hunter to the cliff.

"It's right below," the hunter said, pointing beyond the cliff. Olivia peered out and saw a dark shadow moving vaguely below the steep ice wall.

It was indeed an orc, desperately digging its claws into the icicles protruding from the rock face. Its small body swayed precariously in the cold wind, and the so-called "platform" beneath its feet was nothing more than a slab of icicles less than a hand's width wide.

The lone bird looked at the conspicuous pointed hat on its head and confirmed that this guy was Liu Lang, the orc they had rescued from the Shadow Spider not long ago.

"How sad and lamentable! The ways of heaven are unpredictable. I never imagined that our next meeting would be in such an awkward situation."

Hearing the voice from above, the raccoon Liu Lang raised his head and immediately noticed the hunter who had saved him earlier.

Even though his arms were trembling, Zhou Si and the others couldn't see a trace of panic or fear on Liu Lang's face. The raccoon seemed as calm as if it weren't hanging on a cliff, but lying on its own sofa.

Do you need our help?

Ellie peeked out curiously. Liu Lang's calm demeanor was too deceptive, and she didn't know whether she should help him directly. So she asked first.

Liu Lang maintained its calm expression, though its paws were already red from the cold. It said calmly, "Excuse me, could you help me up? My paws..."

Before it could finish speaking, a sharp "crack" rang out. Everyone's expression changed drastically—the ice shard it was holding had cracked open, and shards of ice were falling down in a flurry.

With quick reflexes, Zhou Si jumped down and caught Liu Lang, who was about to fall, in his arms. Then, he used his gun wing to fly back into the cave.

A few minutes later, Liu Lang moved his regained-feeling claws in front of the heater and solemnly nodded to everyone: "Thank you for saving me. In that case, I will leave this cave to you all and take my leave now."

Just as it turned to leave, Zhou Si grabbed its thin shoulder: "Wait, you've misunderstood."

"Oh?" Liu Lang tilted his head, his ears twitching slightly.

The lone bird stepped forward and explained, "We're not here to take over territory. We're here to investigate the Frozen Peak Dragon."

Liu Lang's tail suddenly stiffened, and its round eyes widened slightly: "Frozen Peak Dragon?" It slowly turned its body back, its claws unconsciously rubbing together. "I see... that is indeed more important than moving."

Its bushy tail swayed gently with its steps, and it would occasionally stop to glance at the crowd.

"You actually want to deal with that guy..." It wrinkled its little nose. "That monster is the overlord of this place, and it swallowed some strange things a few days ago."

The lone bird noticed its ears twitch involuntarily when it spoke. Zhou Si crouched down to its eye level: "Could you tell me more?"

Liu Lang stopped, his round eyes scanning the faces of the crowd. Finally, his gaze settled on the lone bird, as if he had made up his mind. It straightened its small body: "Since my benefactor has asked..."

The Frozen Peak Dragon was originally the overlord of the Ice Mist Cliff. It had been entrenched in this cliff for some unknown time. Although it was huge and had a strong sense of oppression, it was not actually very aggressive.

Most of the monsters that died from the Frozen Peak Dragon were just unlucky and got caught in the crossfire.

Until recently, two unlucky souls fell into this icy, misty cliff one after the other. One of them was frozen into the rock strata, while the other was even more unfortunate, becoming food for the Frozen Peak Dragon.

And that unlucky guy was the Herrscher of Ice.

Stimulated by the Herrscher Core, the Frozen Peak Dragon rapidly completed its Honkai transformation and began to evolve towards a higher level.

The cold wave and the horde of broken beasts were both actions it unconsciously triggered.

Olivia, on a whim, asked, "Does it have any weaknesses?"

Liu Lang slowly stroked his beard, his round eyes gazing thoughtfully at the cave ceiling for a moment: "Frozen shell..." he gestured with his paw, "those spikes will expel cold air."

The lone bird and Zhou Si exchanged a glance and immediately understood its meaning.

"Can we weaken it by damaging its outer shell?" Zhou Si asked, confirming.
