Chapter 75: First Arrival in the Northern Continent

The harsh environment of the Northern Icefield exceeded all imagination.

Dark, gloomy clouds pressed down extremely low. Although it was daytime, the light was incredibly dim. The air seemed shrouded in a layer of gray-blue mist. Blizzards howled across the sky like ghostly wails, mixed with fist-sized hailstones, raging wildly across this pitiful land beneath one's feet.

Most terrifying was the sub-zero temperature of tens of degrees below zero! Not a single blade of grass grew; it seemed capable of freezing all things!

“Huff…” Sang Luo faced the blizzard, moving forward with difficult, uneven steps.

Before coming, she had specifically inquired about the conditions of the Northern Continent. She wore several layers of compressed, thick fleece clothing, wrapped in a cloak, and wore a hat, covering herself from head to toe. She hadn't expected to still underestimate the harsh environment of the Northern Continent.

In just a short ten minutes, her body was covered in accumulated snow.

From a distance, she practically resembled a snowman.

Sang Luo quickly shook her head, using her fire spirit energy to clean the snow and water from her entire body. She raised her head, looked at the churning black clouds in the sky, and sighed deeply.

The Northern Continent was in a perpetual state of winter. Most of the beastmen who could live in this frigid land were unique to the ice plains. Their beast forms had long, dense fur capable of withstanding the severe cold.

If she had unfortunately fallen into the Northern Continent when she transmigrated, she estimated that she wouldn't have lasted more than a few minutes before freezing to death.

She constantly used her fire spirit energy to nourish her body, resisting the biting cold, barely able to adapt.

An endless expanse of frozen land stretched as far as the eye could see, with tall, silver-white birch trees standing majestically, piercing the clouds.

Sang Luo stopped in the forest, feeling the texture of the wood. She had found the right place.

She casually found a tree stump to sit on and took out some jerky from her dimension.

Several tall and short black dots appeared in her vision. As they approached, she realized they were a group of dust-covered beastmen.

The clothes they wore were much rougher than those of the beastmen in the Western Continent. Most wore simple coarse linen, and some wore fur pelts, extremely primitive and rugged.

The state of this group of beastmen wasn't good. They seemed to have just experienced a fierce battle, their expressions listless, and many of them were injured, looking extremely disheveled.

The group of beastmen in front also saw her.

The tall and burly tiger beastman waved his hand.

“Hey, kid over there, come here!”

Sang Luo looked left and right before confirming that they were calling her.

These people looked like they had just finished fighting, but they didn't seem like vicious villains. She put the jerky back into her dimension and walked over. “I don’t know what you need, big brothers?”

“We need a favor. Come with us, and there will be generous rewards afterward.”

Before Sang Luo could open her mouth, the somewhat thin and tall beastman next to the tiger beastman spoke first, “Boss, this kid looks a bit weak. Are you sure you want him to join our team?”

They had just experienced a fierce battle, and several brothers had died. They were still short one person to form a bounty team to take on a mission.

The Northern Continent was sparsely populated. They had only encountered this lone beastman on their way here. They couldn't find anyone else to replace him for the time being, so they could only make do.

But if he was too useless, he would indeed be a drag.

The tiger beastman asked Sang Luo again, “What rank beastman are you?”

The other beastmen also subconsciously looked at her arm, but it was blocked by her robe and wrist guards, and they couldn't see anything. Sang Luo readily replied, “Sixth rank.”

Everyone's faces lit up with joy. The skinny monkey beastman also smiled and said, “I can’t believe it, you look so small and unremarkable, but you're actually a sixth-rank beastman! Boss, we're really lucky!”

The tiger beastman also nodded in satisfaction. “What is your talent?”

Sang Luo originally wanted to say fire, but the Netherworld True Flame was a bit different from other fire-type talents, and it was easy to expose her. She changed her answer, “Ice-type talent.”

Everyone was even more satisfied. In this icy and snowy land, ice-type talents could exert their greatest advantage.

The tiger beastman patted her shoulder, took out a bag of crystals, and handed it over. “Little brother, come with us, and we'll give you a reward after it's done. This is a deposit. Don't run away halfway.”

“Alright, big brother.” Sang Luo accepted the crystals and followed the team.

She had just arrived in the Northern Continent and knew nothing, so she could learn about the situation through them.

Thus, Sang Luo was brought into the team to do a mission, just to make up the numbers.

This group of people wanted to hunt a high-level ice-type star beast.

Sang Luo followed them for a long time, not knowing where they were going.

Up ahead, someone suddenly stopped.

“Be careful and be on guard.”

Sang Luo was still observing her surroundings, looking for prey, when the ground beneath her suddenly trembled violently. A giant icefield worm, more than ten meters long, burst out of the snow, right where she was standing!

As her cultivation improved, Sang Luo's physical fitness and reaction speed became extremely strong. Almost the moment the giant icefield worm burst out of the ground, she jumped tens of meters away to a safe area, watching the giant icefield worm with hundreds of legs, covered in scales, and brandishing its claws. She felt a wave of nausea; she almost got swallowed whole.

“Get ready! Fight!”

With the tiger beastman's order, the beastmen instantly transformed into their beast forms and charged out like arrows released from a bow.

This type of giant icefield worm was covered in hard scales. The teeth and claws of ordinary beastmen couldn't do much damage to it. Several beastmen frantically bit and tore, but they could only barely bite off a few scales.

The giant worm opened its large mouth, filled with hundreds of sharp teeth, and bit towards the head of one of the beastmen.

The beastmen in the team had obviously done their homework in advance. Someone immediately used a chain made of some unknown metal to tie up the giant worm's head, binding it to a giant tree that was as thick as a hug, preventing its head from twisting flexibly to attack and bite.

The giant worm was unwilling to be outdone, twisting its body and violently ramming the tree, sending several beastmen flying to the ground.

Those it couldn't shake off, the giant worm wrapped its huge body around.

The enormous constricting force could almost crush their bodies!

As the giant worm struggled more and more violently, the chain was about to break, and the ancient tree was swaying, frantically shedding snow.

The strongest and largest tiger beastman bit fiercely into the slightly lighter-colored area between the giant worm's head and abdomen, obviously the giant worm's weak point.

Unfortunately, his teeth didn't completely penetrate the giant worm's scales. Instead, he aroused the giant worm's anger. It twisted its body even more violently, its entire body of scales opening sharply, and its tail slapped down. Each scale was like an extremely sharp blade, and the tiger beastman's body was instantly torn into dozens of wounds, blood gushing out.

“Boom!” A loud noise.

The giant icefield worm completely broke free of the chain, and the huge ancient tree, tens of meters high, was instantly uprooted and crashed to the ground, splashing up thousands of snowflakes.

Immediately afterward, the giant worm opened its bloody mouth and bit towards the group of beastmen.

An ice prism, condensed with endless cold air, suddenly appeared in the air and pierced into the giant worm's chest and abdomen with a "swoosh!"

The hard protective scales were instantly pierced by the unremarkable ice prism, and even the air produced a bursting sound.

The giant worm crashed to the ground, and light red blood stained a large area of the snow.

Soon, someone reacted and crawled over to check the insect beast's corpse. "Dead, dead!"

The tiger beast, like everyone else, turned its head to look in that direction, only to be surprised to find that it was killed by the seemingly weak male beast.

So strong!

This is a seventh-order star beast!

It was killed by him in one blow!

He can't possibly be a mere sixth-order, at least the same rank, seventh-order!

The crowd was not stupid either. After the shock, their expressions were much more respectful.

The beastmen who came to live in the Northern Continent were either native tribes or villains who had committed crimes on other continents. They couldn't stay there and had to come to this broken place to seek survival in death.

This person's strength must also be very impressive, but he probably doesn't want to reveal his identity, so he said that on purpose.

The beastmen in the team also knew the rules of the road, and no one asked more questions. It was as if nothing had happened, and they continued to bury their heads and hurry on.

But along the way, their attitude towards Sang Luo improved a lot, vaguely with some flattery.

Sang Luo followed them for a few days, killing seven or eight of these icefield giant insects.

Seeing that they did not process the giant insects after killing them, but directly stored them in their space, Sang Luo said, "The meat of high-level star beasts is delicious and rich in spiritual power. After processing these meats, you can sell them to some food shops. The scales of this star beast are also very sharp and hard, not inferior to profound iron, and can be sold to weapon shops and material shops... If you spend some time processing them and sell them in batches, you can get more rewards."

A bear beast replied in a rough voice, "No need to bother so much! We hunt these giant insects not to sell the materials, but to hand them over to the city for the bounty."

"Yes, the amount of the bounty is calculated based on the submission of the entire giant insect. One giant insect can be sold for tens of thousands of beast crystals!"

"Then which city are you going to next?"

"Icebreaker City."

Sang Luo nodded, "I'll go with you."

It's good to find a place to rest.

There are too few beastmen in the Northern Continent. On this journey, apart from this bounty hunting team, she hasn't seen a single other beastman. There should be many more beastmen in the city, making it easier to inquire about news.

According to the beastmen of the hunting team, Icebreaker City is a main city with good development in the Northern Continent, but its scale and area are about the same as a medium-sized city in the Western Continent.

Only tens of thousands of beastmen live in the city, and the roads are very wide and desolate.

Not long after entering the city, they ran into another team.

It was said that they accidentally ran into each other, but in fact, the other party deliberately came to them. Sang Luo saw that the leader of that team was an ice lizard beastman. After he saw their team, his strange vertical pupils turned, and then he directly led his people to meet them, "Huche, it's been a long time. I still remember the last time you seriously injured me!"

"What do you want to do?" Huche said in a deep voice.

The team had just experienced several fierce battles, and their condition was not very good. They came to the city intending to find a place to recuperate and adjust.

Everyone's eyes were extremely vigilant.

"Oh, don't look at me with that kind of look. I don't want to do anything. It's good for everyone to be friendly. As long as you hand over the prey you got from this hunt, I can let you go!"

"Dream on!" Someone cursed loudly, "Why should we hand over the prey we worked so hard to hunt to you!"

"Hehe, since you don't appreciate it, then let's talk with strength. Whoever grabs this prey gets it!"

One icefield giant insect is worth ten thousand beast crystals, who can resist this temptation.

Sang Luo also figured it out. The two captains originally had a grudge. With this instigation, the two teams immediately started fighting in the city, overturning many public buildings, attracting many beastmen to watch, but no one came to mediate.

"It is forbidden for beastmen to start wars in Icebreaker City, damage public buildings, and disrupt the stability of the city! Come on! Take these two teams down and lock them up in prison for half a month of reflection!"

Sang Luo, who was innocently affected without even moving a finger, "..."

She just arrived a few days ago, and she's going to jail already? ? ?

Suddenly, the noise in front disappeared, and a tall and upright man walked out of the crowd.

The beastmen of the patrol team immediately said respectfully when they saw the man, "City Lord! There are two bounty hunting teams causing trouble, but we have already stopped both sides and there have been no casualties. According to the regulations, they can be detained for half a month after being fined."

"Yeah."

That voice was low, hoarse, and magnetic, extremely rich in masculine charm.

Sang Luo's ears were numb, and she subconsciously looked over along the crowd, and for a moment, her breathing stopped.

The man wore a black hooded cloak and cape, his figure was tall and slender, and he was as silent as the deep night. Just standing there, he could easily capture everyone's attention, exuding a cold aura that kept strangers away.

From Sang Luo's perspective, half of his face was covered by a black cloth, revealing a cold and smooth jawline, which was intriguing.

Suddenly, he glanced over here.

A gust of cold wind happened to blow, just revealing the man's indifferent and handsome eyebrows and eyes. His lowered eyes were cold and fierce, with a fierce murderous aura that could only be tempered by countless lives and deaths, giving people a strong sense of aggression and deterrence!

Sang Luo's eyes suddenly became a little moist. She hadn't seen him in a long time.

Lan Cang was much more mature and stable than a year ago, and his figure was also taller and more upright. Even wearing such thick clothes, you could still see strong and terrifying muscle lines, revealing a thrilling masculine tension!

...

Lan Cang was about to leave, but as if sensing something, he stopped and glanced at the crowd.

But he didn't see the familiar figure he had been thinking about day and night.

He chuckled softly, what was he thinking? How could she possibly come here?

Just as he was about to leave, a voice came,

"Lan Cang!"

His body stiffened, and before he could react, he was hugged tightly.

Sang Luo couldn't control her emotions for a moment and rushed up directly. She originally wanted to catch up with him and be intimate, but the next second she was pushed away mercilessly.

She looked up in astonishment, meeting the man's dangerous cold eyes.

Lan Cang's thin lips rebuked coldly, "Come on, arrest him for me."

"Who is this person? How dare he offend the City Lord!"

"Suspicious motives! He must be an illegal element sent by other cities! Quickly capture him on the spot, don't let him run away!"

Sang Luo's eyes widened, and she quickly reacted. She was still using a disguised appearance, and Lan Cang must have regarded her as a rogue male beast from who knows where.

"Wait, actually I am..."
