Chapter 285: The Price of Trust

A few minutes ago.
In the secret realm, at the ice mountain venue.
As a wind-type mutated beast, the Silver Shadow Leopard was very unaccustomed to the cold environment here. Almost as soon as it entered the ice mountain, its speed clearly slowed down.
Wang Xiao was anxious but helpless. The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] still had to protect Zhou Xiruo, so he could only make do first.
Fortunately, they still had Gao Lixuan, the humanoid radar. Khaki energy rings swept out. Although it did not change the terrain, it could still help them understand the movements within a thousand meters without going personally.
Using this convenience, the two of them rode the [Silver Shadow Leopard] around the ice mountains and finally stopped near a cliff dozens of meters tall.
Although this was a cliff, there was also a slightly shorter ice mountain opposite. The strong wind blew between the two mountains, taking away the temperature and leaving a few meters of snow.
“Are you sure this is the place?”
Wang Xiao narrowed his eyes and sized up his surroundings before asking, “This place is filled with snow. It’s easy to leave traces when moving. Moreover, the vision here is limited. It’s definitely better to have an ambush from the cliff, right?”
“That’s what I thought, but someone is indeed lurking here.”
As Gao Lixuan spoke, another khaki energy ring swept out. A moment later, he raised his hand and pointed at the bottom of the cliff. “Over there!”
Wang Xiao looked in the direction Gao Lixuan was pointing, but he only saw an unknown depth of snow. It did not look like someone was lying in ambush.
However, Gao Lixuan was very certain that Wang Xiao could only test it out first. Then, he jumped down from the back of the Silver Shadow Leopard. In the end, as soon as he landed, he was buried by the snow at his waist.
The snow here was not ordinary snow. It contained extremely rich ice attribute
energy.
The bone-piercing cold almost instantly pierced through the battle suit. At that time, Wang Xiao felt that his legs were a little stiff and could not help but be even more certain that no one was lying in ambush.
The reason was very simple. The temperature here was really too low. If someone was lying in ambush in the snow, their entire body would probably freeze in a few minutes.
However, since he had already come down, Wang Xiao did not say anything else. He waded through the snow and slowly approached the cliff. However, when he reached the edge of the cliff, he did not discover any signs of an ambush.
Wang Xiao thought to himself, “As expected.” He turned around and looked at Gao Lixuan. “Although you might not believe me, everything here…”
Before he could say “no” , Wang Xiao’s expression suddenly changed slightly.
He felt as if he had tripped on something.
Puzzled, Wang Xiao directly leaned over and dived into the snow. After fumbling for a moment, he indeed caught something that looked like a vine. He pulled it out and saw that it was actually a rope.
“Brother Xuan! I found something!”
Wang Xiao shouted and raised the rope. “I found it under the snow. How can there be rope in such a snowy place?”
As he spoke, Wang Xiao took the rope and wanted to meet up with Gao Lixuan. However, there seemed to be something heavy connected to the rope. He had just taken a step when he was stopped.
Wang Xiao, who had sensed it, did not think too much about it. He stabilized
his feet and tried his best to pull, but he did not expect to pull out a corpse with a green and gray face!
“Aiyo, f*ck!”
Wang Xiao exclaimed and hurriedly retreated. He suddenly slipped on something and fell into the snow!
The surrounding snow poured down and instantly buried Wang Xiao tightly. Just as he struggled with all his might to stand up again, he suddenly felt his waist tighten. Then, he was pulled out of the snow by the [Silver Shadow Leopard] by pulling on his belt with its mouth.
“Are you all right?”
Gao Lixuan rode on the back of the Silver Shadow Leopard and asked, “What did you see just now? Why were you so frightened?”
“I wasn’t frightened. I didn’t expect it!”
Wang Xiao waved his hand. As he spoke, he coughed hard a few more times before handing the rope in his hand to Gao Lixuan. “There was a corpse under the snow!”
Hearing that there was a corpse, Gao Lixuan’s expression also became solemn. He first helped Wang Xiao return to the back of the [Silver Shadow Leopard], then asked the [Silver Shadow Leopard] to grab the rope and retreat.
It had to be said that mutated beasts were indeed much stronger than humans.
Soon, a series of eight corpses were dragged out of the snow. They were wearing the armor of the Yaoguang Academy and had strange smiles on their faces, indicating that they had all frozen to death.
The eight corpses were lined up on the snow. Wang Xiao and Gao Lixuan stood at the side, their expressions so gloomy that water was about to drip out. “From the looks of it, the battle suit is from Yao Guang Academy.”
Gao Lixuan said in a low voice. Then, he looked up at Wang Xiao. “Are there the two brothers you mentioned?”
Wang Xiao shook his head. When he first discovered the corpses, he had confirmed that Lang Buli and Lang Lina were not among them.
“I should have believed you sooner.”
Gao Lixuan said with a hint of regret in his voice, “If we had come earlier, they might have been able to survive…”
Eight of the ten-man team had died, and there did not seem to be any signs of struggle. The two problematic people had disappeared without a trace. At least, Gao Lixuan did not believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Lang brothers.
Wang Xiao also understood this principle, so he was not surprised by Gao Lixuan’s sudden trust.
After secretly feeling sad for a while, Wang Xiao suddenly revealed a puzzled expression. “It seems that they have been killed for a long time. The audience outside should have already discovered it. Why is there no reaction at all?” “No one outside noticed that this is a blind spot of the live broadcast camera.”
Gao Lixuan replied softly. Seeing Wang Xiao’s puzzled gaze, he raised his hand and tapped his temple. “My memory is very good. Before I came in, I had already observed the range of all the cameras.” see.”
Wang Xiao revealed a look of realization. He paused for a moment and suggested, “Therefore, we should inform the outside world as soon as possible and get the military to send reinforcements!”
Gao Lixuan nodded and was about to speak when Wang Xiao suddenly sensed something and his expression changed. “Something happened at the base!”
“Go back!”
Gao Lixuan’s expression also changed when he heard this. Then, the two of them hurriedly climbed onto the back of the Silver Shadow Leopard and turned into a stream of light that headed straight for the base!
At the same time, in the wasteland.
In Yuheng’s base, dozens of attack fortifications were activated at full power. All kinds of attacks were sent out. The huge power even caused the ground to tremble!
However, everyone on the wall had solemn expressions. They could not see the situation on the battlefield clearly, but as long as these fortifications were still attacking, it meant that their enemies were still around!
“This can’t go on. The [Energy Core] will be exhausted soon! ”
Han Bufan shouted anxiously, “Captain! Should we call Old Tang and the others over?”
Before Fang Tianyu could speak, Yi Han suddenly shouted, “There’s no need!
I’ll protect the base of the Yuheng Academy!”
Before he could finish speaking, Yi Han suddenly jumped down from the wall. At the same time, he activated the [Elemental Domain] skill. A scarlet energy ring spread out and instantly turned the surrounding thousand meters into a lava environment!
With the nourishment of this abundant fire attribute energy, the [Lava Ripper] was instantly revived.. Wisps of flames burned between its golden fur, and its figure flashed as it rushed towards the battlefield!
