Mu Ningxue stared at the woods with short leaves. A female mercenary of the seventh division was heading toward the woods. She was going to pluck a kind of Lantern Fruit.
The Lantern Fruit was the most delicious food in the Alpine Layer. It was a great comfort to one's stomach after eating a lot of rations.
"Don't go there!" Mu Ningxue yelled at the female mercenary with brown braids.
The mercenary in a ponytail glanced at Mu Ningxue with a disdainful grin. She purposely walked up to the Needle Lantern Fruit and picked it up. She took a huge bite out of it as if she was challenging Mu Ningxue, declaring that she was the rightful owner of the delicious fruit!
"Rustle!"
The footsteps sounded again. Mu Ningxue did not see anything, but she knew something was hiding in the woods.
"Whoosh!"
As she thought, a white figure sprang out from the woods at an incredible speed.
The white figure subdued the female mercenary in the blink of an eye. It bit her shoulder and jumped onto a pine tree that was growing horizontally on the cliff.
The white figure used the pine tree's sturdiness to leap forward again with the female mercenary in its mouth. It landed on the other side of the cliff.
The people nearby finally realized what was going on. They lifted their heads, but all they saw was the bottom of the cliff. They did not see the white figure grabbing the female mercenary, nor did they see the female mercenary being dragged away by the white figure!
"It's on the cliff," Mu Ningxue said.
However, the mercenaries nearby were obviously not strong. Not many of them could match the white figure's speed.
Mu Ningxue said to the Flying Creek Snow Wolf, "Protect Ling Ling."
Mu Ningxue rose into the air with a strong gust of wind after finishing the sentence.
She paused for a brief moment when she was around twenty meters above the ground. Soft, white wings spread out from her back. They were made of milky white wind strings, elegant and beautiful.
"Phew ~!"
With a flap of its wings, Mu Ningxue shot to a higher altitude, almost surpassing the cliffs on both sides.
Mu Ningxue glanced up the cliff and noticed that the white figure was moving rapidly across the uneven mountain surface. Sometimes it would climb vertically, sometimes it would bounce between two mountain walls, and sometimes it would run along the ground.
"What a nimble guy!" Mu Ningxue was also surprised by this guy's nimble movements.
There were many large coniferous trees growing in the mountainous terrain. If it wasn't for the occasional fluttering of leaves on the ground, Mu Ningxue wouldn't be completely sure that there was something moving there.
"Huhuhu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The wings on Mu Ningxue's back flapped even stronger air currents, and the Wind Wings turned into propellers, sending Mu Ningxue several hundred meters away.
However, Mu Ningxue quickly noticed that the white figure had disappeared into a pile of tall mountain rocks. She could no longer see where it was moving from this angle.
Mu Ningxue had no choice but to change the Wind Wings to allow herself to rise higher into the sky, so that she could have a bird's eye view of higher ground. At least she wouldn't lose sight of her target.
"Yi!"
A sharp cry came from the icy sky. Mu Ningxue looked up and saw an eagle that looked like a metal fighter under the glow of the setting sun spreading its wings. Its fiery eyes were staring at Mu Ningxue, who was flying at a lower altitude. It was obviously showing a strong hostility toward her.
Mu Ningxue realized that she was about to enter the airspace of an aerial creature, and hurriedly lowered her altitude.
As she thought, the eagle was no longer as aggressive when she was within a hundred meters of her.
However, it was harder to track the white figure now. Mu Ningxue had no choice but to stick close to the jagged cliffs. She was flying at an incredible speed, and the terrain ahead was quite complicated. It was already difficult to dodge the strangely shaped rocks, not to mention the thick, ancient coniferous trees among the rocks.
The white figure was obviously very familiar with the terrain. It knew where the caves, the mountain streams, and the coniferous trees were. However, the complicated terrain did not slow it down at all. Mu Ningxue kept chasing after it, trying her best to find it with the help of the setting sun.
…
…
The sun had completely set. The Rift Valley was getting dark.
A gust of wind came from above. The seventh team of the Mailong Private Military Group immediately went on alert and stared into the sky.
An alluring figure wrapped in white Wind Wings descended from the sky. It was Mu Ningxue, who was chasing after the white figure.
"How did it go?" Mo Fan immediately went up to her.
"I only found this," Mu Ningxue placed her bleeding hand on a rock.
"Even you couldn't catch up to it?" Zhao Manyan blurted out in astonishment.
Mu Ningxue's speed was extremely quick. She specialized in the Ice Element and the Wind Element. If even she could not stop and chase after the white figure, there was no way the others would be able to find any trace of it.
"It won't be able to escape if it's in the valley, but in the mountains …" Mu Ningxue sighed.
"Do you know what it is?" Mo Fan asked her.
"Tianshan Demon Tiger, half of its body is white," Mu Ningxue said.
The bloodline of the Tianshan Demon Tiger was very simple. The more white fur it had, the higher its level and bloodline.
A normal Tianshan Demon Tiger was icy-blue in color with white stripes. However, the Tianshan Demon Tiger that Mu Ningxue was chasing after had half its body covered in white fur, implying that it was a Tianshan Demon Tiger with a relatively high-level lineage!
"It must be the creature that killed three members of the seventh team," Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Seriously? Didn't we already leave the creature's territory?"
"Yeah, not to mention that we were moving so fast along the way. We even made sure we didn't have anyone following us. How did it find us again?" Auburn said.
"Stay alert and wipe your eyes with ice water. Keep an eye on the surroundings," Kuma said.
"Vice Leader, Vice Leader …" Tommy of the third team quickly ran over, as if something had happened. "Two of our members that were patrolling the perimeter are missing."
"When did it happen?" Kuma asked.
"Fifteen minutes ago," Tommy said.
Kuma immediately frowned.
"Three more," Mu Ningxue murmured.
