Su Aoxue glanced at Shen Yan discreetly before quickly looking away, afraid that others would notice her strange behavior.
‘He shouldn’t freeze to death, right? Old Shen, don’t blame your buddy here. I didn’t do it on purpose.’
‘But the way Old Shen is looking at me seems so surprised. I couldn’t have frozen him stupid, could I?’
At the same time, Qin Wei, who was standing opposite Su Aoxue, once again unleashed his Fire-type Ability to melt the surrounding frost.
However, during this process, Qin Wei’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Strange, this layer of frost doesn’t seem to just radiate a chill; it seems to actively devour heat…”
Qin Wei murmured to himself, increasing the intensity of the Fire-type Ability in his hands. The way he looked at Su Aoxue changed once more.
This person’s Ice-type Ability was definitely not a simple one; it was highly likely some kind of variant ability!
Judging by the voice, it was a young woman, but Martial Artists could live for a very long time. There was no guarantee it wasn’t some old monster.
Wearing a cloak to hide their appearance usually meant they were either a heinous criminal or a powerful figure.
But Qin Wei had stayed in the Base City for so many years and had never seen a powerful figure with such an ability…
After a moment of thought, Qin Wei said loudly, “Your strength is decent. You are qualified for a piece of the pie.”
“However, there were eight or nine Level 3 Gray Mist creatures guarding this place earlier. We only managed to get this Silver Gray Grass by forcing our way through and killing them. Letting you take some is only out of respect for your strength, so we won’t give you much.”
As Qin Wei spoke, he pointed toward the brothers behind him.
Many of them not only looked fierce, but also had bandages wrapped around their bodies, with traces of blood seeping through and staining the white fabric red.
At the same time, Qin Wei glanced toward another slightly older man in the team.
The older man remained silent for a moment before shaking his body and immediately diving into the vehicle. He pulled out a sack and threw it toward Su Aoxue.
In the next second, Su Aoxue reached out and caught the bag firmly.
“Thank you.”
The team members on Su Aoxue’s side had mixed feelings after seeing that they had actually obtained a portion of the Silver Gray Grass.
……
‘This aura… I can’t be mistaken. It’s too familiar. It’s too damn familiar!’
‘It’s the power of a natural disaster. It’s the Cold Disaster!’
‘It’s the Cold Disaster!’
In the corner, Shen Yan’s eyes were filled with shock as he stared at the cloaked Su Aoxue.
He never expected that he would meet the Frost Calamity Witch from his previous life in such a way at this time!
A flicker of rage immediately flashed in his eyes.
But Shen Yan soon realized that he shouldn’t be having such thoughts in his current state, and he immediately suppressed the surge of anger in his heart.
‘Calm down, calm down. I’m still too weak right now. I can’t beat that person… I can’t beat her…’
Along with the anger, a sense of despair began to sprout within Shen Yan.
He completely hadn’t expected the Frost Calamity Witch of this period to already possess such power, appearing no weaker than an A-rank Warrior.
Shen Yan couldn’t help but ask himself: if he couldn’t beat her in his previous life, would he really be able to beat her even if he had been reborn?
Could the plan to help Su Aoxue get revenge really be realized?
Even though the Su Aoxue of this life had not been killed by the Frost Calamity Witch yet.
Shen Yan gradually sank into a deep sense of frustration.
It seemed as though the power of the Frost Calamity Witch from his previous life had crushed his pride.
Even after returning through rebirth, he still lacked confidence when facing the Frost Calamity Witch again.
‘At worst, I’ll just take Su Aoxue and hide. The Su Aoxue of this life is still alive. If I can’t afford to provoke her, I can at least afford to hide!’
‘A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Once we both grow strong, I believe this Frost Calamity Witch won’t be able to kill us.’
‘It’s a pity. If only I knew how Little Xue offended the Frost Calamity Witch in the past life.’
With his thoughts in a mess, Shen Yan sighed helplessly.
In his previous life, he had searched for countless ways but could never find out how his good friend, Su Aoxue, had offended this cold Frost Calamity Witch.
Furthermore, he could never understand why, in his previous life, every time he challenged her, the Frost Calamity Witch would only beat him half to death without ever dealing the killing blow.
……
Just as she took the Silver Gray Grass and prepared to leave, Su Aoxue’s gaze involuntarily turned back to where Shen Yan was standing.
Seeing his lost and dejected appearance, her expression gradually became a bit strange.
‘Strange, why does it feel like this guy Shen Yan has become a bit depressed?’
Su Aoxue quickly realized that she probably shouldn’t keep focusing her attention on Shen Yan.
After all, with her current identity, she and Shen Yan didn’t know each other!
But then she reconsidered. Among the people opposite her, Shen Yan was the most unique. It seemed normal for her to look at him a few more times, right?
Just as Su Aoxue’s group was about to get into their vehicle and leave, a sudden exclamation came from the group of people opposite them.
“Boss Qin, something else is coming our way! There’s a lot of them, and they aren’t moving very fast!”
The person who spoke loudly jumped down from the vehicle, holding a Portable Life Monitoring Device and turning in circles on the spot.
Finally, he stopped, facing the other side of the canyon.
“Boss Qin, a massive surge of life reactions just popped up in this direction…”
The speaker suddenly felt a sense of dread. “Boss Qin, this couldn’t be a small-scale Gray Mist Tide, could it?”
As soon as those words were spoken, everyone’s expressions turned serious.
As the leader, Qin Wei immediately issued a combat order.
“Quick! You five who aren’t driving, hurry up and gather the Silver Gray Grass! This place isn’t suitable for combat.”
“Once you’ve gathered it, we’re withdrawing from the canyon!”
Back on Su Aoxue’s side, the five of them listened to the exchange and realized the severity of the situation.
Jiang Yi immediately ran back to the vehicle to confirm the status.
However, Zhao Jun suddenly said with a smile, “I heard them call you Boss Qin. Well, Boss Qin, if those coming are Gray Mist creatures, how about we each hunt them according to our own abilities?”
Hearing the voice, Qin Wei turned to look at Zhao Jun. After a moment of silence, he said, “Fine.”
‘Another chance to make a profit.’
Zhao Jun was instantly overjoyed.
As for the risks, he wasn’t afraid. With two A-rank Warriors present, they would be the ones at the front if anyone was going to die.
He only needed to fight to secure the greatest benefits for himself!
Moreover, he knew that there was a very well-hidden space within this canyon. If he was alone, he could completely survive by hiding!
Worst case scenario, he would do what he did several years ago—hide inside for a few months and then find an opportunity to escape!
As for his teammates? They were just thrown together temporarily. He would discard them after use; it wasn’t the first time he had done something like this…
……
Before long, everyone heard a series of piercing wails.
This almost confirmed that the things rushing toward them were undoubtedly Gray Mist creatures.
But what arrived before the Gray Mist creatures was actually a wave of crimson mist!
Carrying the floating ash from the sky, a sense of pressure naturally arose.
Upon seeing the drifting crimson mist, someone immediately cried out in alarm, “There’s an Elite-level Gray Mist creature!”
“Looking at this concentration, it seems there’s more than one!”
Even as the leader, Qin Wei was startled by this news. At the same time, he subconsciously looked toward Su Aoxue’s position.
He couldn’t help but murmur under his breath, “I guess it really is true that you shouldn’t mess around during your zodiac year. If this team hadn’t suddenly appeared, we probably would have been wiped out facing a Gray Mist Tide with more than two Elite-level creatures…”
