Chapter 159: Target: Mutant Snow Lotus

It was late at night when I returned to the town of Forbidden City in the Snow Land.

...

The next day, I had a hot breakfast and the seven people scattered and prepared each other.

Like Zhang Jianyang and the others, there were several groups. They completed the gathering early, then walked out of the town and disappeared into the endless snow-capped mountains outside.

The entire ice and snow land has been crossing the border, covering an extremely large area, with endless ice fields, rolling ice and snow mountains, and more famous ice and snow forests. The highest eighth-level snow bear, the most precious sixth-level snow fox, and the top mutant herbs at the god level. No one knows how many unknown things that humans have not discovered under the thick ice and snow are hidden.

In the parking lot of the restaurant, Zhang Jianyang stood on the snow, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Cheng Qianbo was carrying his multi-barrel machine gun, and most of the backpack was filled with bullets. Looking at his huge backpack, it was at least hundreds of kilograms. A giant axe and a backpack were carried together. On his thighs, there was a short sword and a large-caliber pistol. He was wearing a snow camouflage uniform and military boots. He was extremely fierce at this moment.

Lan Keying was wearing a white coat, surrounding her, playing with a small silver pistol.

Tao Ruhai's weapon turned out to be a super-large double-barrel hunting rifle. His pussy would have a bit of a hunter-like look. However, Zhang Jianyang knew that Tao Ruhai's hand was not a real hunting rifle, but a modified special weapon. It fired not a bullet, but a blasting bullet with a wrist-thick blast, which was equivalent to a small-caliber fire bubble.

Song Jianfei is very thin. He has a claw on both sides of his thighs, and his backpack is also small. I don’t know what he has installed.

The most common one is Gu Shifeng. He has a complete set of special forces equipment, carrying a heavy sniper rifle, and a small lifesaving bag tied to his thigh. A double-edged weapon is tied to another thigh.

When Xia Shaojun saw the equipment of these team members, hesitated. In this ice and snowy land, the glider was not very good at using it, and her two-star strength and cold weapons were not very effective. There was no way, Xia Shaojun could only come out with a sniper rifle in the container of the heavy truck.

Seeing that everyone was about to finish, Zhang Jianyang clapped his hands and began to assign: "We expect to stay in the wild for a few days, so I hope that among the items you carry, it is best to have some outdoor cooking utensils and some tents. I believe you are not afraid of the low temperature of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, but sleeping in a cold cave will not like it."

Song Jianfei smiled strangely and said, "Captain, don't you know that night is the human forbidden zone time?"

Zhang Jianyang did not laugh, held a cigarette in his mouth and said lightly: "Since I am the captain, I will do what I said. Whoever is not convinced is still too late to withdraw now. If you want to withdraw again after departure, it will be a bit late."

Lan Keying stared at Zhang Jianyang. It was just one night. Zhang Jianyang gave her the feeling that she felt stronger. Her seemingly plain eyes could make Lan Keying's heart slammed into huge waves. "Did he increase the star power level in one night?" Lan Keying was not sure. She just remained silent for a moment, then turned around and returned to the SUV, carrying the simple bag containing the tent on her body.

Tao Ruhai saw Lan Keying as he did, but he didn't say anything and did as he did.

"Haha, captain, I just want to remind you that since everyone is not afraid, what else am I afraid of?" Song Jianfei could let go.

...

The team led by Zhang Jianyang in the entire town was the last team to leave.

It is white here, with almost no leaves on the trees, and the grass is dead and buried under the thick snow. Occasionally, it will appear a touch of green in the white area.

In the team, no one except Zhang Jianyang has ever been to the ice and snow land.

...

Walking down a valley, Zhang Jianyang stopped, then stood on a rock, and said, "You will definitely be confused, what is the purpose of our trip."

Cheng Qianbo and the others stopped and looked at Zhang Jianyang. They had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but it was because of the mystery of Zhang Jianyang, and they did not ask it in the end. Every time a team went out, they would first choose a suitable place according to the purpose and spend time collecting all the information about the place. They would set off after having a feasible plan.

However, Zhang Jianyang led the team and found out that the destination was a place of ice and snow before departure, but he had no clue as to why he came here.

The Ice and Snow Land is a relatively deserted place in many places where you can take risks. Many teams come here without success because there are so many things that can be harvested here, far less than other places' benefits. It is precisely for this reason that Cheng Qianbo and others have never set foot here.

"First of all, I have to thank you, but everyone's trust in me." Zhang Jianyang lit a cigarette, and he said slowly: "I know why everyone joined this team in order to make all breakthroughs and make the star rating a higher level. But in this world, every level of improvement is extremely difficult, at most, it takes more than ten years, or even a lifetime; at least it takes several years, not to say that you can improve as long as you want."

Lan Keying showed a faint smile, Cheng Qianbo made a silly smile, Tao Ruhai rubbed his hands, Song Jianfei grinned, and Gu Shifeng wiped the sniper rifle in his hand with a piece of face.

Zhang Jianyang knew that they were all listening.

"You must think I have the ability to lead you through." Zhang Jianyang took a few sips of cigarettes, then flew away the cigarette butt, and said: "I can only say that your vision is very accurate. I do have a way to increase the level of star power in the short term. It is not impossible to step into the Star Alliance in your lifetime."

As soon as Zhang Jianyang said this, everyone's movements paused, and then they looked at Zhang Jianyang eagerly.

The team that was temporarily formed was not very loyal, and Zhang Jianyang didn't even understand them.

But it doesn't matter. Trust can be accumulated, and understanding requires a process. Zhang Jianyang knows that only after giving them a little sweetness can they recognize the team. As long as they have hope of reaching the peak, they will not refuse. Even if they want them to leave the team, they will not be able to drive them away.

When Zhang Jianyang came out of Adventurer Paradise, he had already made up his mind.

Just as Zhang Jianyang considered the problem before, in this world, it is unrealistic to rely on yourself to live a better life. You must have enough companions and allies. Only when your strength is so strong that no one dares to provoke you, you are safe. Otherwise, when you show your wealth, countless hungry wolves will surround you.

This small team is a seed planted by Zhang Jianyang. He believes that by then it will grow into towering trees and form a forest.

"It turns out..." Lan Keying and the others were of course eager. When they saw Zhang Jianyang, they felt that Zhang Jianyang could make them break through. Now Zhang Jianyang said it with certainty, which undoubtedly gave them a reassurance. Just imagine who doesn't want to advance further? They are already five or six stars, and are only in the first line of seven stars.

Isn’t it just to leap into the Star Alliance after experiencing countless hardships?

"Captain, what are our goals this time?"

When asked, it was Tao Ruhai. He carried the double-barrel hunting rifle on his arms and stared at Zhang Jianyang eagerly.

Zhang Jianyang did not go around: "Have you heard of a mutated snow lotus in this ice and snow land?"

As soon as the name of the mutant snow lotus was released, six people, including Xia Shaojun, took a deep breath of air conditioning and showed a surprised expression.

The mutated snow lotus, which is ranked at the god level, has only appeared seven times in a hundred years. Its efficacy is naturally not necessary to say, otherwise how can it be ranked at the god level? But they really don’t know that there is a snow lotus in this ice and snow land. If this news is true, the adventurers who flock to it will not melt this ice and snow land?

They were curious about how Zhang Jianyang knew.

Gu Shifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain, this ice and snow land is as big as a province. Even if we know there is a mutated snow lotus here, we cannot find it. All these god-level mutated herbs are hard to come by." With only seven people, it is impossible to travel all the ice and snow land without two or three years.

Zhang Jianyang smiled: "Don't worry, I never do things that I'm not sure about."

"Captain, you... what do you mean, do you know where this mutated snow lotus is?" Song Jianfei's eyes were shining with rough light, and he just stared out.

...

The team continued to set off. Under Zhang Jianyang's leadership, they did not rush to rush, but moved forward like a team of donkeys in this snowy place.

The ice and snow land has also been changed by the movement of the earth's crust. The strange mountains and peaks here can be seen everywhere, and from time to time you can see deep and bottomless cliffs. Sometimes you can reach some natural miracles carved by wind and snow, which is amazing. If it weren't for the existence of mutant beasts, just with the landform here, it would definitely become a world-famous tourist holy place.

The entire team is composed of star warriors. The weakest Xia Shaojun is also the two-star strength, with fifty manpower.

When the team climbed a cliff, gunfire came from a small ice field in the distance.

Zhang Jianyang looked at him and saw six small black dots on the ice field, hunting a mutant beast. The reason why it was too far away was not clear.

This small team probably was the adventurers who left the town this morning and entered the Snow Land. It can be seen that they were lucky. They found prey on the edge of the Snow Land. Not to mention whether there are core crystals, the fur of the prey, and the meat of the beasts, are valuable things. If you are lucky, just a mutant beast can earn a considerable income.
