The endless primeval forest is covered with white snow, and the continuous mountains and fields appear vast and desolate.
In the distance, shrouded in clouds and mist, the peak of a towering snow-capped mountain is faintly visible between two mountains.
The hillside on the sunny side seemed to be coated with a layer of gold foil, reflecting the dazzling sunlight. There were many spiritual beasts being raised as livestock and eating spiritual herbs.
The mountainside is covered with lush coniferous forests that extend all the way down, and occasionally birds as big as palms can be seen flapping their wings.
At the foot of the mountain is a barren wasteland with sparse snow. A road runs across the wasteland, and an iron sign stands alone on the side of the road.
"The border between the Red Flame Empire and the Divine Religion Empire"
It says so above.
Chen Zhong was mesmerized by this scene for a moment.
After seeing various different kinds of scenery, Chen Zhong still likes the desolate snowfield the most. It is ancient and silent, lonely and majestic, sacred and poignant.
"Set off!"
The team assembled, and Chen Zhong followed silently behind. His thoughts drifted back to the time when he should face the things in front of him.
At the foot of a snowy mountain, at the end of the road, there is a huge blue-purple circular formation, about ten meters above the ground, like a slowly rotating black hole.
Surrounding the black hole is the Beixuan Maze Town, with scattered wooden houses and at least 10,000 people active inside. The noisy hawking and fighting sounds are endless.
When entering the town, Chen Zhong found many open iron sheds on both sides, inside which were spirit beasts shaped like big wolves.
It is the size of a lion, with long blue and white fur, and four blue eyes on its handsome head, which turn vigilantly.
"These are Blizzard Wolfhounds, a type of spirit beast that's relatively easy to tame. Be sure to bring these adorable little guys with you when you venture deep into the vast snowfields. If you encounter an ice spirit blizzard, your chances of escaping alive will depend on them."
Seeing that the students were particularly interested, the brown-haired old man guarding the shed began to introduce enthusiastically.
He is not stupid. These are all young men from the capital of the Chiyan Empire. Judging from their dress, temperament and strength, they are all rich or noble.
Wouldn’t it be great if they rewarded us with some good things when they were happy?
"What are you all doing there?" The major general who had already walked to the front turned around and said, "President Yang Fu has been waiting for a long time!"
Hearing that there was a powerful Grandmaster following him, Chen Zhong felt a little relieved. With a big boss in charge, at least there would be no small fry here who would deliberately cause trouble, which saved him a lot of trouble.
The group walked through the town, attracting a lot of attention. The town was a mixed crowd, and many people who had committed crimes ran here to hide.
When they saw that the leader was a major general, they all took a few steps back in fear. The generals of the Red Flame Empire were not easy to mess with. They were either old foxes who were good at strategizing or powerful spiritual warriors who could stand on their own.
This was indeed the case. This major general in his thirties was a powerful warrior in the early stage of the Soul Tempering Realm. He was quite prestigious in the Imperial Army and had a promising future.
"I told you guys, I can handle a lot of alcohol! Don't help me, I can... walk by myself!"
At this time, several drunken men with guns and knives on their backs walked out of the alley. The most talkative one among them stumbled unsteadily into the middle of the street.
He just happened to bump into Chen Zhong who was on his tail.
"You... you stinky boy, how dare you bump into me?"
The man burped and made a lot of noise.
The entire team stopped because of this. In an instant, everyone on the street felt insecure. The vendors retreated and put up shields to wait and see.
The other drunks sobered up immediately, especially after they found out that most of these young people were at the Minor Accomplishment Stage, they quickly grabbed the man and apologized repeatedly.
"Uncle, please walk carefully." Chen Zhong smiled kindly.
The drunk shuddered, "Hey, hey, sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry!"
Chen Zhong waved his hands and kept smiling, "It's okay, it's okay. Go back quickly. It's cold outside, don't catch a cold."
"Let's go, let's go..." Seeing that Chen Zhong didn't want to argue, several people fled in a hurry.
The team headed back towards the maze portal not far away.
Walking behind, Chen Zhong quietly took out a tracker hanging on the corner of his clothes and whispered to Yuan Wusha, "Be careful, someone is targeting us."
Yuan Wusha was stunned. "This? Could it be that person from before?"
"Yes and no. That person is just a paid errand boy. And he's not targeting me, but all of us," Chen Zhong's mind raced. "Ever since we got off the airship, someone has been secretly observing us. The one who's targeting the Scarlet Flame Empire like this is most likely the Divine Religion Empire. This second round won't be easy."
"This?" Yuan Wusha frowned, a little angry.
Chen Zhong curled his lips. "However, the Empire must have considered this. It's probably to increase the difficulty of the competition, or there may be other deeper purposes. Just pay more attention."
It is said that after a few drunks left, they happily ran towards a wooden house on the edge of the town.
"Sir, I have done what you ordered. The tracker is installed!" The drunk man was no longer drunk at all. He rubbed his hands and hinted to the man opposite to give him a reward.
They are all desperate criminals who live on the edge of a knife. What would they not do for money?
For them, life is to be enjoyed!
The man in the black cloak took out a black cloth bag containing more than a dozen spirit stones.
The next second... Boom!
The horrific explosion overturned the entire wooden house. Under the impact of the spiritual energy wave, no one in the house survived. After a few blinks of an eye, flesh and blood rained down from the sky.
Everyone around was dumbfounded and fled in fear.
The members of the Divine Empire hiding in the dark were also stunned, realizing that they had been tricked by a student.
