428 One Year Later (2/2)

However, Chen Fan didn't even use his True Essence and relied only on his physical strength while he released the punch.

Once a cultivator had achieved Initial success in the Azure Thearch Longevity Body, his power could be on par with his peers with phenomenal success in normal Dao Bodies. Without using divine powers and dharma treasure, Chen Fan at his current state could even defeat a Connate Cultivator. By now, most regular weapons, including missiles, were ineffective while used against Chen Fan. He had become powerful enough to kill a Divine Sea level Immortal Cultivator much less the Immortal State cultivators on earth.

”I think it's time to make my enemies pay.”

Chen Fan pulled his fist back and about-turned. He looked up in the sky, toward the direction where the Russian rockets had come from.

There, at the end of the horizon, was the headquarters of the Russian's North Division.

”Kaboom!”

When the small avalanche erupted, a team of explorers were wading through knee-deep snow not far from the Warg Valley.

One of them was a blonde girl wrapped in layers. The explosion caught her attention as she looked to the Warg Valley curiously.

”Old Raul, what is going on there?”

The blonde girl asked in Russian.

Although she was wrapped in layers, her well-defined features could still be seen through the thin wind mask. Unlike most Caucasian woman, her face was soft and round, both were desirable features for women in east Asia.

”Natasha, nothing to worry about. That's just a normal avalanche. Let's hurry to find shelter, the storm is coming.” A grizzled old man answered in a hoarse voice.

He was the leader of the expedition team, and his name is Raul.

”Ok. But I swear I saw a person flying in the sky… I swear I see it.” Natasha murmured to herself. Seeing no one was interested in the topic, she lowered her head and pressed forward.

However, try as she might, she couldn't erase the doubt and questions inside of her.

The team soon found a natural cave suitable as a shelter for the coming storm.

The animal bones strewn on the ground suggested that the cave used to be a den of a grizzly bear, but fortunately, the bear was nowhere to be seen. The explorers started a fire and pitched their tents. Then they removed their layers and huddled near the camp to cook their food.

”Old Raul, you said there was an old village full of werewolves somewhere around here. But we had passed the only hamlet and it's a ghost town. Our snowmobile has broken down, what are we going to do now?”

Someone complained.

The rest of the explorers also shot Old Raul a questioning glare.

They came this far to visit the Snow Wolf Village that was shrouded in mystery. However, they found nothing but an empty village without a soul to be seen. The village must have been abandoned for a long time since Snowdrift had already worked its way from the edge of the village to the center.

”I am not entirely sure either. I traded with them two years ago when I passed by their village. I wager they have moved to avoid attention since then.” Old Raul furrowed his brows, deepening the lines on his face. ”But don't fret, there should be a supply depot a hundred kilometer west of here. We should be able to hitch a ride back.”

The other teammates snorted and let the conversation at that.

They were strangers to the frozen wasteland and had to rely on Old Raul's knowledge to survive.

”Natasha, the sausage is cooked, let me help you cut it up.”

A handsome young man inched closer to Natasha and said obsequiously.

Members of the expedition were wealthy thrill-seekers, and none of them were strangers to romantic and wild flings.

Natasha not only had the look, but she also had brains. Graduated from the University of Moscow, she had already established herself as a renowned field archaeologist. Rumor had it that she was from a blue-blooded family that could trace its lineage to the dark ages of Europe.

Naturally, she became the center of everyone's attention, including Old Raul.

Natasha furrowed her brows as her mind was still playing the scene when she heard the explosion.

She swore that she saw a man in a wash of azure glow above the valley. She even remembered seeing his long black hair flow against the wind.

However, she was frustrated that none of her teammates believed her.

Suddenly, a voice drifted into the cave.

”Does anyone know what year is it?”
