Chapter 73 Departure

Of course, if the mission is successful and the ice stone is collected, then they can make up for the previous losses in just one trip and make a certain profit.

How could the head of the Wang family not know what Wang Tianming was thinking? Although he was worried, he still showed a firm look on his face and said, "It will definitely succeed! The first batch of people only arranged two Tiangang realm warriors. Although the second time, more people were arranged, there were fewer Tiangang realm masters after all. This time, we paid a lot of money to invite disciples from the sect. The strength of the sect disciples is not comparable to that of ordinary Tiangang realm warriors who came from the wild road."

After a pause, the head of the Wang family said in a deep voice: "Elder Ming, I'm waiting for your good news!"

Wang Tianming nodded heavily.

This trip must be successful!

...

No words all night.

Before dawn the next day, the team started to set off and quickly moved towards the Molian Mountains.

There were more than 30 people in this team. Except for a dozen miners who specialized in mining ore, the rest were all guards.

Among these guards, in addition to Lin Chen and his five companions, the Wang family sent out four Tiangang Realm warriors, including Wang Tianming.

Among them, Fang Shang, Yang Feng and Zhou Wenyao were at the front of the team, while Lin Chen and Ji Tongwen were guarding the back. Although Lin Chen's cultivation was the lowest, he was hired by the Wang family at a high price, and they could not fail to arrange for Lin Chen to do something.

In this way, under the leadership of Wang Tianming, the elder of the Wang family, the team hurriedly entered the Molian Mountains.

"The Molian Mountains are ahead, everyone should cheer up." Wang Tianming summoned his true energy and his voice was transmitted to everyone in the team.

Then, he turned his head and smiled at Lin Chen and the other five, "Thank you for your trouble."

Fang Shang and the others waved their hands, and Yang Feng smiled and said, "Elder, you don't have to be polite, we are just fulfilling our obligations."

Since they accepted this task in the sect and took money to help others eliminate disasters, they have the obligation to complete it. Otherwise, if they change their minds or even escape halfway, the sect will punish them.

Wang Tianming took a deep breath, stood in the middle of the team, and directed everyone to move forward.

"Ah!"

As soon as they entered the Molian Mountains, there was a roar of monsters. There are many monsters in the Molian Mountains, but the monsters on the periphery are generally low-level monsters of level one or level two.

A big black panther suddenly appeared at the end of the team, causing a panic in the team.

This big black panther is a top-level monster of level one, which is only equivalent to a warrior of the fourth level of the body refining realm. However, many people in the team are at the first or second level of the body refining realm. When they saw the big black panther appear, they immediately felt panic.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was about to draw his long sword to deal with the big black panther. Suddenly, the pretty figure beside him flashed, and then he heard a "puff". A bright red deep hole appeared on the forehead of the big black panther, and it fell to the ground and died on the spot.

Then, with a choking sound, Ji Tongwen stood in front of Lin Chen expressionlessly and slowly put away the black iron sword in her hand.

"Good swordsmanship." Lin Chen smiled.

Ji Tongwen's sword, combined with her body movements, was already very fast. Her strength was definitely a little stronger than Lin Xiong's.

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Ji Tongwen glanced at Lin Chen, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Seeing Ji Tongwen kill the big black panther in the blink of an eye, many people in the team breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Tianming also immediately organized the team to move forward.

The night inside the Molian Mountains is the most dangerous. When Lin Chen was training here before, he rarely acted at night.

Because many monsters appear at night, and at this moment, many people in the team are quite weak, and there are many people, so they are very easy to become the target of monster attacks. Therefore, everyone entered the Molian Mountains to take the ice stone, which was limited to daytime, and the time spent on going back and forth was excluded.

As everyone walked deeper, the monsters appeared more and more frequently around, and the strength of the monsters also greatly increased.

From time to time, monsters attacked the team, but fortunately, they were all blocked by Lin Chen and the other five people. Among them, Lin Chen killed a third-level high-level monster with one sword, which surprised Ji Tongwen and others.

Originally, they thought that Lin Chen's cultivation was only at the early stage of the eighth level of the body refining realm, and his strength was not very good, and he would drag the team down. Unexpectedly, Lin Chen still had some strength.

"Keep going!" Wang Tianming looked up at the sky. They had been walking for a while, and this place was still a distance away from the cold pond, so they had to speed up.

The team continued to move forward.

"Lin Chen, your swordsmanship seems to be very powerful."

At the end of the team, Ji Tongwen suddenly opened her lips and spoke.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "It's practiced."

Hearing this, Ji Tongwen curled her lips. Of course, swordsmanship is practiced. Is there a peerless genius who mastered it at birth? But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that what Lin Chen said made sense. Lin Chen must have studied hard and practiced hard to achieve his current achievements.

Seeing Ji Tongwen like this, Lin Chen just smiled, and then cheered up and looked around vigilantly. But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "Be careful!"

"Ah!"

Before Lin Chen's words fell completely, a scream suddenly came from the team. A guard in the early seventh level of the body refining realm was suddenly dragged into the ground by something, and then a lot of blood spurted out from the ground, and the guard died on the spot.

"Elder, save me!"

Immediately afterwards, several screams came from the team again, and several people were dragged into the ground by something!

Wang Tianming's face looked a little ugly. With his cultivation in the early stage of Tiangang Realm, he didn't find anything underground. In this moment, the team lost several people, and you have to know that if these people die, the Wang family will need to pay them a large amount of support in the end, which will only bring trouble to the family that is now seriously unable to make ends meet.

At the end of the team, Ji Tongwen glanced at Lin Chen with a somewhat surprised look, as if she was surprised that Lin Chen had the ability to foresee and detect dangers around him in advance.

But at this moment, she didn't have time to ask any more questions. Together with Lin Chen, they each pulled out their weapons and rushed into the team.

Fang Shang, Yang Feng and Zhou Wenyao also rushed into the team.

"They are the third-level top-level horned beasts. There are six of them in total."

Lin Chen's soul power spread out, and the situation within a hundred meters around him was immediately impressed in his mind, including the six horned beasts underground.

The long-horned beast is huge, shaped like an octopus, and is hidden deep underground. When a monster or warrior passes by them, the long-horned beast will release six huge tentacles to strangle the creatures passing by! Finally swallowed.

"puff"

Suddenly, a tentacle that was several meters long and covered with blood thorns appeared in front of Lin Chen, and flew straight towards Lin Chen with a hiss.

At the same time, Fang Shang, Ji Tongwen and others were also attacked by the tentacles.

"drink!"

Lin Chen raised the cold iron sword in his hand and passed through the air, easily cutting the tentacle in half.

"Chi chi chi chi..."

The tentacles of the horned beasts were cut off, and the severe pain caused them to scream like a baby crying. On the other side, Fang Shang and others also cut off the horned beast's tentacles, and they all let out bursts of screams.

The screams immediately allowed Fang Shang and others to identify the locations of the six horned beasts.

"One at the back!"

"Quick victory!"

At this moment, Lin Chen and the other five people all used their physical skills without leaving any room, and quickly rushed towards the specific positions of the six horned beasts.

After all, if one more second is delayed, one more person will be killed or injured. If the team's casualties reach a certain level, the mission will no longer be possible.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen and the others killed these six horned beasts.

But even so, the entire team suffered several casualties and morale dropped sharply.

Wang Tianming looked a little gloomy. Unexpectedly, several people died before they reached the cold pool. If this continued, I wonder if they could hold on until they reached the cold pool.

The corpses of the deceased had been smashed into pieces, and no one could help bury them. Wang Tianming immediately gave the order to continue moving forward!

The road is already halfway gone. If we don’t go further, the deaths of those who died before will be in vain!

They managed to survive this crisis without any danger, leaving everyone in a state of shock.

At the end of the team, Ji Tongwen looked at Lin Chen again with a somewhat curious expression, but found nothing strange. She couldn't help but said: "Lin Chen, how did you find the horned beast just now?"

Almost at the moment when the team was attacked, Lin Chen also sensed the danger and reminded everyone. Later, he also accurately judged that there were six horned beasts underground.

All of this surprised Ji Tongwen.

Lin Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "I have practiced in the Molian Mountains for a period of time, and I was attacked by a horned beast, so I can sense it a little bit."

Ji Tongwen had a look of suspicion on her face, but she didn't ask any more questions and nodded doubtfully.

After walking for a while and being attacked by monsters several times, everyone finally arrived at the cold pool.

The cold pool is located in a valley formed by three peaks. The cold pool is hundreds of meters long and wide, and the sky is filled with dense cold air. On the edge of the cold pool, there are several ice stones.

"finally reached!"

Seeing this scene, everyone became energetic and rejoiced. Wang Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, with a touch of joy on his face.

Lin Chen and the other five couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief and escorted the team here. The next thing would be much simpler, and this task was basically completed.

But just when everyone was about to walk over, a roar that shook the earth suddenly sounded.

"Roar!!"

A monster beast with a huge body, several feet long, like a giant python, rushed out of the cold pool, causing a splash of water, and looked at Lin Chen and the others with cold and cruel eyes.

The scales on this monster's body are snow-white and sparkle in the sun. It is obvious that its defense power is not low.

Seeing this monster appear, everyone immediately felt a ladle of cold water pouring on their heads, and their faces all looked a little ugly.

"Level 4 low-level snow-cold python!"

Ji Tongwen beside Lin Chen whispered, her expression a little solemn.

This snow-cold python loves ice-cold places the most. The temperature of the cold pool is extremely low, which is the territory of the snow-cold python.

In other words, if the team wants to take the ice stone, they must first kill the snow python!
