74: Wait, don't do it, we are all on the same side

Xie Yufeng looked in the direction he pointed, his pupils slightly contracting.

Amidst the swirling snow, a continuous dark outline was faintly visible.

As they gradually approached, the outline became clearer—it was a tall, thick wall!

The wall stretched endlessly, and its estimated length was probably far greater than his own pathetic small territory.

"This... this scale..." Xie Yufeng gasped, "It's at least three hundred meters long, isn't it?"

How many days had it been?

The Novice Trial (Newbie Trial) hadn't even ended, and this big shot's territory had already developed to such an extent?

He moved closer, his gaze falling on the snow outside the wooden wall.

His pupils suddenly constricted!

On the snowy ground, large patches of dark red traces remained, a shocking sight.

In the air, a faint smell of blood still lingered.

"Hiss..." Xie Yufeng felt his scalp tingle, "It seems everything the big shot said was true; here... a fierce battle really did take place."

Those more than five hundred people probably all perished here.

Just as Xie Yufeng's mind was reeling, a sudden change occurred!

Whoosh—!

A sharp whooshing sound suddenly rang out without warning!

An ice cone, gleaming with cold light, shot straight towards Xie Yufeng's face.

Its speed was astonishing!

"Be careful, sir!" The Soldier next to him cried out in alarm, wanting to help but having no time.

Xie Yufeng felt a cold killing intent instantly envelop him.

He instinctively threw himself to the side in a desperate attempt to dodge.

Pfft!

The ice cone grazed his cheek and embedded itself in the snow behind him, leaving only a bowl-sized hole, and the surrounding snow quickly froze into ice.

The chill was biting!

"Enemy attack!"

"Protect the sir!"

Xie Yufeng's three Soldiers were scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, hastily shielding him in the middle, nervously looking around, trying to find the attacker.

He lay in the snow, his heart pounding, a burning pain on his cheek.

"Who?!" He shouted, still shaken, towards the direction from which the ice cone had come.

Responding to him was an even denser volley of whooshing sounds!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several more ice cones shot out, their target no longer him, but his three Soldiers!

The three Soldiers desperately resisted and blocked, but the ice cones contained immense power, striking their crude shields and weapons with dull thuds.

One of the Soldiers, unable to dodge in time, had his arm grazed by an ice cone, immediately tearing his skin and flesh, blood flowing freely, letting out a groan of pain.

These attacks were swift, ruthless, and incredibly precise!

Xie Yufeng's mind was in turmoil; this was definitely not something ordinary Soldiers could possess. Could it be... a Hero Unit?

A thought flashed in his mind, the big shot's Hero?

"Wait!" Xie Yufeng ignored the pain on his face, quickly scrambled up from the snow, raised his hands, and shouted with all his might, "Don't attack, we're on the same side! I'm the big shot's friend!"

The attack suddenly stopped.

The wind and snow also lessened a bit.

All was silent around them, with only the sound of the cold wind howling.

Xie Yufeng nervously swallowed, his heart in his throat.

Suddenly, a cold and lazy female voice came from the wall not far away.

"Big shot?"

The voice was clear and pleasant, yet it carried a powerful sense of oppression that made one dare not make the slightest move.

Xie Yufeng looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a graceful figure faintly standing behind the high wooden wall's battlement.

Her silver-white long hair fluttered slightly in the wind and snow, and a pair of narrow, golden vertical pupils gazed at them indifferently.

Just a single glance made Xie Yufeng feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his whole body stiff.

Xie Yufeng's survival instinct instantly soared to its peak. He quickly nodded and bowed, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Yes, yes, yes, big shot, Mo Yan, Mo Yan is my big shot!"

"My name is Xie Yufeng, and I came to trade with big shot Mo Yan, really, I have an alliance token to give him!" He hurriedly added, afraid that the other party wouldn't believe him and would attack again.

On the wall, Bai Lingyue narrowed her eyes, judging the truthfulness of his words.

The moment of silence, for Xie Yufeng, felt as long as a century.

Finally, the cold voice sounded again: "Mo Yan?"

"You follow me."

As her voice fell, the figure disappeared behind the battlement.

Xie Yufeng let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his back already soaked with cold sweat.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved at his equally shaken Soldiers, "Let's go, follow her!"

The territory's gate slowly opened.

Bai Lingyue stood inside the gate, looking at them expressionlessly.

Xie Yufeng dared not neglect, quickly leading his Soldiers carefully inside.

Upon entering the territory, Xie Yufeng's eyes instantly widened, and his mouth unconsciously opened, remaining agape for a long time.

The sight before him once again subverted his understanding!

Along the neatly planned roads were rows of brand-new buildings.

There was the steaming Yu Shan Workshop, and even several uniquely shaped, entirely dark blue Frost Arrow Towers, with runes faintly appearing on their bodies, shining with the light of upgrades!

Within the territory, the number of Soldiers was far greater than he had imagined!

At least one hundred and fifty people or more!

And these Soldiers were all full of vigor, well-equipped, busy at their respective posts, disciplined, and an aura of sternness assailed them!

How could this be a territory in the Newbie Trial phase?

"My goodness..." Xie Yufeng felt his heart begin to beat faster again, "How... how did this big shot do it?"

He had originally thought he was lucky, with a good start, but compared to Mo Yan, he was simply a rookie who had just left the newbie village.

The three Soldiers next to him were even more dumbfounded, not daring to breathe.

Bai Lingyue ignored their shock, simply leading the way.

She led Xie Yufeng through most of the territory, finally arriving at a uniquely shaped small house constructed entirely of ice crystals.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw Mo Yan standing there.

"Big shot!" Xie Yufeng quickly took a few steps forward, his face full of fawning smiles, bowing slightly.

The three Soldiers behind him also quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Mo Yan.

Mo Yan glanced at him: "Come in."

The interior of the small house was simply furnished, with a rich Spiritual Qi flowing within.

Gun Gun was lying on a animal skin rug by the bed, curiously observing Xie Yufeng as he entered.

As soon as Xie Yufeng entered, he felt that the Spiritual Qi here was several times denser than outside, which surprised him again.

He carefully walked up to Mo Yan, took out a palm-sized, glowing token from his Pregnant (bosom).

"Big shot, this is the alliance token." Xie Yufeng presented it with both hands, his posture very humble.

Mo Yan reached out and took it; the token's surface was engraved with ancient patterns.
