Wang Fan's expression hardened, and after exchanging a glance with Zhao Yong, he immediately rushed towards the scene of the commotion.
A player was seen arguing with a guard in the Ice Nest, and a crowd had gathered around.
Wang Fan stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
The player said angrily, "I just wanted to look around the ice nest, but he stopped me from leaving, saying this place is forbidden territory. Isn't he deliberately making things difficult for me?!"
The Ice Nest Guardian said with a serious expression, "The Nest Master has ordered that certain areas are related to the safety of the Ice Nest and cannot be entered at will. I am just following the rules."
Wang Fan understood that this was a process of adjustment between the new members and the rules of the Ice Nest.
He looked at the player and patiently explained, "Brother, I didn't mean to stop you."
"There are indeed some dangerous places in the Snow Soul Ice Nest, and it also involves some important secrets. I hope you can understand."
"Once everyone is familiar with the environment, I will arrange for someone to lead the tour."
Upon hearing Wang Fan's words, the player's expression softened considerably, and he said, "Since that's the case, then I misunderstood. I'm sorry."
Wang Fan smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's alright. We're all here for the same goal. We'll understand each other in the future."
After resolving this minor incident, Wang Fan continued to arrange for the players' accommodations.
However, what he didn't know was that the attack force sent by the false god had already quietly arrived near the ice nest.
They are lurking in the shadows, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Meanwhile, the traitor Zhang Yu hid in the crowd, watching Wang Fan's busy figure.
A sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he plotted how to relay the latest situation inside the Ice Nest to the False God's henchmen.
In the evening, to welcome the new players and Zhao Yong and his group...
Wang Fan held a lively party in the open space in front of the Snow Soul Ice Nest.
Everyone sat together, and the table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.
These foods were something that many players and the women and children brought by Zhao Yong had never seen before.
It has the unique Frost Crystal Fruit, which is found only in the Ice Plains. The flesh is crystal clear and melts in your mouth.
With a slight coolness, it seems to dispel the fatigue of the day.
There's also the meat of the Icefield Beast, roasted using a special method. It has a crispy outer skin, a tender and juicy interior, and an irresistible aroma.
Everyone enjoyed the food and praised it highly.
"These Frost Crystal Fruits are so delicious! I've never tasted anything so wonderful before," one player exclaimed excitedly.
A child next to Zhao Yong, with bright eyes and a mouth full of food, mumbled, "Uncle, all this food is so delicious! It's better than anything I've ever eaten before."
Seeing everyone so happy, Wang Fan felt a surge of joy in his heart.
He stood up, raised his glass, and said, "Friends, we are gathered here today for a common goal—to fight against the false god."
"I hope we can be like one family, working together to protect this continent. Let's raise a glass!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp, their cheers echoing through the night sky.
Meanwhile, the traitor Zhang Yu sat alone in a corner, watching the lively scene with a disdainful expression on his face.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, he quietly got up and walked towards the edge of the ice nest.
In a secluded spot, he took out a black crystal ball and began to chant a spell in a low voice.
The figure of a man in black robes gradually emerged from the crystal ball.
"My lord, Wang Fan is holding a party, seemingly to welcome the newcomers. The Ice Nest is in chaos right now, making it the perfect time to attack," Zhang Yu said obsequiously.
The man in black robes sneered, "Well done. We'll act immediately and let Wang Fan know that opposing my false god only leads to death."
"Keep an eye on their movements. Once it's done, you'll get your share of the benefits."
After saying that, the man in black cut off the communication.
Zhang Yu put away the crystal ball, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes, and quietly returned to the party venue.
He pretended to be nonchalant and continued to blend into the crowd.
But he didn't realize that someone else was also watching him.
At the party, Su Yaqi, with her keen intuition, noticed something amiss from Zhang Yu's series of unnatural actions.
She silently slipped through the crowd and came to Wang Fan's side, whispering a few words in his ear: "Wang Fan, that player named Zhang Yu has been acting suspiciously since just now. I have a feeling that something is off about him, like he's secretly observing our every move."
Wang Fan nodded slightly, a barely perceptible sneer flashing in his eyes.
In fact, Wang Fan had already investigated the backgrounds of the personnel.
They kept an eye on some suspicious people, and Zhang Yu was one of them.
However, since there is no conclusive evidence, it is not advisable to act rashly.
Su Yaqi's reminder only deepened his suspicions about Zhang Yu.
He waved his hand, signaling to proceed according to plan.
The atmosphere at the party grew increasingly lively, with laughter and cheers still echoing all around.
But in secret, a plan to target the traitor and the attacking enemy has already begun.
Wang Fan secretly gave a wink to his powerful companions, including Bing Mei and Qin Xiaoxuan.
They understood each other perfectly and quietly left the party.
Each hid in the shadows around the ice nest, preparing to deal with any crisis that might arise at any time.
Meanwhile, Wang Fan arranged for his reliable subordinates to secretly move the women and children brought by Zhao Yong, as well as some of the weaker players, to a safe place.
On the surface, however, he pretended that everything was normal and continued to chat and laugh with everyone at the party.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was filled with anticipation for the arrival of the false god's minions, completely unaware of the subtle changes happening around him.
