1720 The Person Rescued is Actually an Old Friend?! (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
Zhang Xiaohou was the expert when it came to dealing with winged beasts. Mo Fan knew what his longtime friend was capable of, so he was not too worried about letting him lure the Skyice Beasts away by himself.
The group followed Zhang Xiaohou's instructions. The tanned soldier brought them to the tree hollow. The tree itself had already turned into a small mountain of ice. The people inside were going to die from the cold in less than half a day.
Li Dexin had only asked the tanned soldier to look for Mo Fan and the others because they were left with no choice!
Luckily, Mo Fan and his crew had not gone too far. Otherwise, the whole platoon of the Violet Imperial Battalion would have been wiped out before they could rescue their target!
More cries were heard. At times, they noticed huge birds with icy and transparent bodies flying past the tree through the gaps between the leaves.
Mo Fan's group was hiding in the shadows of his magic. The Shadow Element was perfect for concealing their presence in a complicated environment. These low-level Skyice Beasts had no chance of detecting their presence.
The Skyice Beasts flew away after they failed to notice anything unusual in the area.
Some time later, loud cries were heard coming from the dark woods. The Skyice Winged Beasts were enraged suddenly. They began to stream away in a certain direction!
Their cries faded into the distance. Mo Fan asked Apas to keep an eye out. He only withdrew his Shadow Magic after he was sure the Skyice Winged Beasts were gone.
”Zhang Xiaohou seems to have lured them away,” Zhao Manyan said.
”Brother Xiaohou is impressive when it comes to keeping demon creatures at bay,” Bai Hongfei praised him.
Having outstanding strength might be impressive in the wild, but the ability to perfectly distract demon creatures was the most important for a team!
”Enough talk, help me with the ice,” Mo Fan said.
The ice was very thick. It felt like they were digging into a mountain even when they were using powerful spells. Mo Fan was using all three Soul-grade Flames, while the others were casting their spells to get rid of the ice as quickly as possible.

They finally broke through the layer of ice. Li Dexin and the men who were trapped in the tree cave had not given up, either, and had kept attacking the ice from the inside.
”I thought you were going to leave us to die,” Li Dexin said.
”Can't your mouth say anything pleasant?” Mo Fan was utterly speechless.
”So what? You want me to thank you?” Li Dexin said.
”Forget it, we weren't doing it for free, anyway. Let's leave this place and find a safer spot. The Skyice Beasts should be on their way back,” Mo Fan snorted.
Mo Fan was surprised to see Li Dexin acting so humbly. He looked into the tree cave, curious to see the important person who the Violet Imperial Battalion had come all this way to rescue.
A skinny figure walked out from the tree cave, their face covered in dirt and hair disheveled. The person was wearing a military jacket from the Violet Imperial Battalion, but the clothes inside it were torn and rugged. He wondered how long they had been trapped here for.
The person went past Mo Fan and abruptly looked up. Her glittering eyes fixed on him.
Mo Fan was startled too!
The person might look like a savage, yet Mo Fan was able to recognize her instantly!
