Mu Ningxue had never thought of herself as an easy person to get along with. There were many things that she did not care about, such as being alone.
Some people deliberately approached her and chatted with her with ulterior motives, so Mu Ningxue would directly express her desire to be alone. As a matter of fact, many people deliberately behaved strangely around her.
They would either pretend to admire her, or pretend to be disdainful of her. If a person was not real, their behavior would be strange and annoying. Most of the people Mu Ningxue met were like that. As a result, she always seemed to be difficult to get along with, as cold as ice …
There were not many women like Yan Lan who were real. Mu Ningxue could tell from her words that she was not trying to flatter her, nor did she have any other strange thoughts. She just wanted to talk to her.
As a matter of fact, a woman like Yan Lan had a natural affinity. It was the same with everyone she came into contact with …
Mu Ningxue was quite envious of such a woman.
Therefore, Mu Ningxue thought that Wei Guang's impatience with Yan Lan was real conceit.
Wei Guang thought Yan Lan was trying to get close to him, but Yan Lan was not.
…
Yan Lan was a Magician, and her cooking skills were outstanding. She had a unique understanding of food, and even knew how to match the special ingredients. These ingredients could help people resist the invasion of the cold, and even prevent the spread of some poisonous miasma.
A Food Magician, it was indeed a very rare profession, but it seemed to be very important on this trip.
"The Ice Wheel Airship will be an important tool for us to travel in Antarctica. It can allow our feet to leave the icy ground and reduce the pain. Of course, the most important thing is the magic formation set up inside. It can warm our body and blood vessels, gradually eliminating the effects of the ice."
"Unfortunately, not all ice fields can be used on the Icewheel Airship, so we might have to carry a heavy load in some places. As the time we spend in Antarctica increases, the fire clearing magic formation will slowly lose its effectiveness."
"How great would it have been if we had such an Ice Wheel Airship and a Fire Clearing Array back then." Wang Shuo sighed. He seemed to be particularly concerned about the difference between back then and now.
On second thought, it made sense. Back when he was in Antarctica, the conditions were tough. He had explored a long distance and lost his left leg. Not many people remembered his contribution. It was not until the Five Continents Magic Association Alliance's recruitment order that the people in the capital remembered him. He had once set foot in Antarctica and was needed as a guide for the current team.
The blue of the sea became purer and purer. It was probably because they were close to a forbidden area where no one had set foot in, that the original appearance of nature would be revealed vividly. That was why it was so soul-stirring.
Gradually, some white icebergs appeared on the surface of the sea. They were like sailboats that slowly drifted in this magnificent ice blue painting.
In fact, the iceberg would not move, because the iceberg floating on the surface of the water was just a protrusion of the majestic ice vein underwater. What was slowly moving was the ship, the line of sight of people.
Along the way, Mu Ningxue also saw the remains of many ships. Some of them were hanging on the protrusions, while others were floating around a hundred meters under the water for some reason.
The broken ships hanging on the protrusions were not too bad, but the ships that were not sinking under the water were extremely creepy. They were in a position where the light was devoured by the deep water. They were still in the darkness, like a phantom ship looming under the water. It felt like something on the ship was staring at the surface of the sea, with a strong aura of hatred looming around the ship.
As they continued forward, they saw a spectacular ice boundary. It was a clear boundary between the frozen sea and the blue waves. When the Ice Wheel Airship crossed the water and traveled on the ice, it felt like they had arrived in another world.
In this world, everything seemed to be still, like a white and magnificent painting. In the distance, there was a blue and white ice mountain range, and in the vicinity, there was a thin layer of ice …
"We're almost at Antarctica," Wang Shuo blurted out. His voice was filled with uneasiness.
As a matter of fact, he did not want to come here at all. The cold air was oppressing him, and his left leg was throbbing with pain.
"Let's keep going. We're not going to rest. We've already wasted a lot of time," Wei Guang said to the group.
"We need the advance team to explore the route. There are already some powerful beasts around the frozen sea," Wang Shuo said in a hurry.
Wei Guang glanced at the surroundings. It seemed like he was not willing to be on guard immediately.
After all, they still had to wait for the advance team to confirm that the route ahead was safe. They could only continue moving forward.
"Alright, you guys go ahead and take a look. If there's nothing out of the ordinary, go full speed ahead," Wei Guang said.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The people in charge of scouting ahead were two brothers. They looked very similar, and their figures were similar too.
The two of them Summoned a white leopard and a black leopard respectively. The white leopard had a pair of wings, allowing it to fly in the air. The black leopard had a stronger physique and sharp claws, allowing it to run steadily on the ice.
The two brothers rode on their summoned beasts, but they didn't go far before they disappeared from everyone's sight.
Wei Guang frowned upon seeing this.
"The glaciers and ice here will cause all kinds of refraction obstacles to light, so the real appearance of the ice field we see is not a 'flat land' or a 'rolling mountain range'. It might be more complicated, with intersecting cracks, coexisting waves and glaciers, and ice stalagmites all around. That's why I asked them to leave behind identifiable marks along the way," Wang Shuo explained.
"Doesn't that mean it's very easy for us to get lost?" the Royal Mage asked.
"That's not the scariest part," Wang Shuo said with a strange look.
"What's the scariest part?" Wei Guang asked.
"Just like how we can't see the Xun brothers who haven't gone far, the powerful beasts that live in groups in the Ice Field might be right in front of us. When we accidentally step into an empty Ice Field, it's very likely that we've stepped into a group of beasts," Wang Shuo said.
"Huh?"
"Something so strange is happening!?"
"Doesn't that mean it's extremely dangerous no matter where we are?"
Everyone felt a chill down their spines. Wasn't this place just too strange? It did not make any sense at all!
