Chapter 139: Walking Into a Trap

As the crack continued to expand, fine ice fragments fell like snowflakes.
“Run!”
Wang Xiao’s expression changed. He pulled Chen Xue and Zhou Xiruo and ran out. Almost at the same time that the three of them ran out of the cave, the entire ice cave completely collapsed with a bang!
Shattered ice splashed out, splattering on the three of them.
Wang Xiao casually swung it a few times and hurriedly looked up. He saw that the two ice ridges that formed the corners had already shattered. There was actually a swaying figure on them!
The distance was too far and shattered ice splattered. Wang Xiao could not see the other party’s appearances clearly, but he could clearly see the military combat uniforms on their bodies!
“It’s the military!”
Wang Xiao shouted in a low voice and could not help but curse in his heart.
The area of the [Large Secret Realm] was extremely large. If the location of the entrance was different, even if tens of thousands of people entered, they might not necessarily encounter each other. However, they just happened to bump into the military’s exploration team!
When Chen Xue heard the voice, she looked up and her expression became solemn. “Find a place to hide! Our identities are a little special now. Try not to be discovered by them!”
Wang Xiao agreed and looked around. He quickly found a space formed by a few pieces of ice. Although it was not big, it was enough for the three of them to hide.
It was unknown what the soldiers on the ice ridge were fighting with, but they had never looked down. Wang Xiao and the other two took the opportunity to hide in that small space before their tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Xiao looked at the previous ice cave and discovered that it had already completely collapsed. With dozens of tons of ice pressing down on it, it was almost impossible to dig it open.
“Sigh… I messed up my first mission.”
Wang Xiao sighed and took out the secret realm key. “I definitely can’t get the locator. I wonder if the locator has been successfully planted. Let’s go back first?”
“Don’t blame yourself too much. This can’t be helped.” Zhou Xiruo persuaded and also took out her key.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Chen Xue suddenly said, “We can’t leave yet. We have to help!”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. It was not that he did not want to help, but Chen Xue had told them to hide well a minute ago and not be discovered. Why did she want them to rush up now?
However, before Wang Xiao could ask, Chen Xue had already rushed out of her hiding place.
Zhou Xiruo looked at Wang Xiao. “What should we do? Should we help?”
“Do you think there’s a choice?”
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and also put away the key before rushing out. Although he still did not see the enemies of the soldiers, he saw a huge crack appear on the ice ridge above, as if it would completely collapse!
“Hey! Come down quickly! The top is about to collapse!”
Chen Xue waved her arms and shouted, but the wind on the ice plain was really too strong. As soon as she spoke, she was immediately blown away by the wind. Even Wang Xiao, who was a few steps away, could not hear her clearly, let alone the soldiers on the ice ridge.
“Teacher Chen, they won’t be able to hear it if you shout like this!”
Wang Xiao came to Chen Xue’s side and shouted, “This place is about to collapse. Take Zhou Xiruo to a safe place first. I’ll go up and greet them!”
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Xiao had already summoned the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]. He grabbed the long fur on its neck and jumped onto the wolf’s back. The man and wolf immediately rushed above the ice ridge!
The bone-piercing cold wind was wrapped in ice fragments and scraped his face like a knife. Wang Xiao shielded his eyes with one hand and grabbed the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] with the other to control the direction. Soon, he arrived above the ice ridge.
There were a total of six soldiers from the Blue Planet’s military here. They were controlling their soldiers to encircle and suppress a mutated beast that looked like a python.
However, this mutated beast was really too big. Its coiled body was like a mountain. Just its head that was filled with ice spikes was five to six meters long.
Compared to the python, the soldiers of the Blue Planet were like ants in front of an elephant. Instead of saying “encirclement”, it was more like “disturbance”.
No matter how hard they attacked, the python did not seem to hurt or itch. On the other hand, the python only needed to wave its tail impatiently to create a crack a few kilometers long on the ice!
In his shock, Wang Xiao hurriedly took out a [Identification Scroll] and tore it open. The information of the python also appeared.
[Ice Corrosion Python] [Platinum Level 7]
[Ice]
[As a ferocious mutated beast that lives in the extremely cold ice plain, it is naturally compatible with the ice elements. The lower the temperature, the higher the defense of the ice armor on their bodies.] [Skills: Ten Thousand Arrows, Ice Sting, Death Entanglement]
“Platinum level seven? Does it have to be so ridiculous?!”
Wang Xiao could not help but exclaim. He originally planned to come and help, but after seeing the information, he immediately gave up on this idea.
Now, the strongest soldier in his hands was the level two platinum [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]. In front of the level seven platinum [Ice Corrosion Python], it was like a weak little brother!
“Stop fighting! You’re not its match!”
Wang Xiao, who had changed his mind, hurriedly shouted at the Blue Planet warriors, “Come over quickly! This place is about to collapse!”
Hearing Wang Xiao’s shout, the six soldiers suddenly turned around, afraid that the enemy would attack from behind.
However, when they saw a young man riding on the back of a huge white wolf, they revealed puzzled expressions, as if they did not understand where this young man came from.
However, the current situation did not allow them to think too much. When they heard that the ice under their feet was about to collapse, they immediately ran towards Wang Xiao.
Under Wang Xiao’s order, the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] lowered its body. After those warriors climbed up, it turned around and jumped down the ice ridge!
Almost at the same time, the ice ridge that had long cracked finally could not withstand the burden. With a bang, it collapsed into a huge pit, and even the [Ice Corrosion Python] fell in.
When the six warriors on the wolf’s back saw this scene, their faces instantly turned pale with fear. If they had not left the ice ridge in time, they would probably have already died!
After panting for a moment, one of the warriors stood up and saluted Wang
Xiao. “Thank you for your help, lord Wang!”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. ‘You know me?”
That person chuckled. “We’re all from the Kaiyang Military District. How can we not know about the little hero who led the resistance against the Crimson
Star’s invasion in the lord competition?”
Hearing the words “lord competition”, Wang Xiao immediately smiled bitterly. Just as he was about to be humble, that person’s expression suddenly changed. “Take him down!”
As soon as he finished speaking, two warriors immediately jumped up. Before Wang Xiao could even react, he was already pressed to the ground.
Wang Xiao subconsciously wanted to struggle, but the two of them were extremely strong and had clearly grasped special techniques. No matter how he struggled, it was useless.
“What are you doing?”
Wang Xiao tried his best to look up at the warrior.. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily, “I just saved your lives! Is this the attitude you have towards your savior?!”
