Chapter 465: City of Ice and Snow

Chapter 465: The City of Ice and Snow

Levi patted the head of Holy Cici beside him and said, "Go back to the magic cabin and hide for a bit."

Holy Cici also knew well enough that she could not be seen by other people.

She murmured an agreement, slipped into the portal Levi opened, and vanished from the freezing, snowy plateau.

Levi gazed into the distance, casually sweeping the dead snow rabbit into his spatial ring.

Though the snow rabbit was small, it was at least a first-tier magical beast.

The creatures surviving in this harsh, extreme northern ice field were none of them ordinary.

They were at least magical beasts, for common creatures could hardly adapt to the environment of the extreme northern ice field.

The snow rabbit was considered the absolute bottom of the food chain in this frozen expanse.

Levi reined in his stray thoughts and looked toward the few people walking over from afar.

As they drew closer, the group also discovered Levi's figure.

They were somewhat surprised, and one of them, holding a bow and arrow, saw the bright red blood on the snow and whispered, "The snow rabbit seems to have been killed by that person."

"But my arrow clearly hit something? Where did the snow rabbit go?"

Confusion flickered across that man's face.

He utilized a special skill that allowed an arrow to strike a target over a thousand meters away.

Using "Hawkeye" to lock onto the fast-moving snow rabbit, he then fired a tracking arrow that locked onto the beast.

The arrow could then automatically fly across a thousand meters or even greater distances to hit its mark.

Levi and Holy Cici had simply happened to be on the arrow's flight path, suffering accidental collateral damage.

The leading man glanced at Levi, noting that the clothes on his body looked nothing like the attire of humans in the extreme northern ice field.

The few of them wore thick, heavy snow-bear fur garments, making them look incredibly bloated.

Levi, however, wore only a thin, long-sleeved mage robe.

One could tell at a single glance that the other party was not a native of the extreme northern ice field.

"Let's go over and take a look, if the tracking arrow accidentally harmed someone, we must apologize to them."

The leading fellow spoke.

The few men behind him did not contradict his words upon hearing this.

Survival was already incomparably difficult in the extreme northern ice field, so the human community here—not just the human community, but almost all living communities—was exceptionally united.

If they were not united, they could not survive in the extremely harsh environment of the extreme northern ice field.

Mutual aid was a common occurrence.

As the men drew near, they entered the range of Levi's mental perception.

Levi quickly determined the strength of the few individuals, his heart relaxing slightly.

The man walking at the very front was the strongest, likely having reached the third tier.

The two behind him were both at the level of second-tier transcendent professionals.

This strength was not considered weak.

Placed in Maple Leaf City, it would be considered an upper-middle standard.

Even for Maple Leaf City, which had already become the Beixuan Kingdom, the strongest person now was only at the fifth tier.

The number of fourth-tier experts could be counted on two hands.

The third tier was already considered high-end combat power within Maple Leaf City.

However, for Levi, professionals of this strength posed essentially no threat.

They could not even break the hundreds of layers of invisible armor shields on his body.

Even if they possessed some special methods, Levi also possessed the Sacred Dragon Body, granting him immunity to the vast majority of abnormal statuses in the world, so he had no reason to fear.

Thinking of this, Levi felt an inclination to converse.

At the very least, he needed to understand his current predicament and the situation of the extreme northern ice field.

He could not continue completely in the dark, blindly following Holy Cici's intuition.

"Hello, the tracking arrow just now didn't hurt you, did it?" the leading fellow, Tuanbu Langri, said.

Hearing this, a moment of surprise rose in Levi's heart, though he quickly reacted to it. The arrow just now had not been aimed at him.

It seemed to be an accidental injury.

However, for the opponent to be able to shoot an arrow and hit Holy Cici from a distance outside his perception range.

This range was rather impressive.

Levi had never seen such a staggering firing range.

Levi shook his head and said, "No."

Tuanbu Langri let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, saying, "Are you a mage from the outside?"

He scrutinized Levi's clothing a few times, somewhat uncertain.

The mage robe on Levi's body looked a bit different from the mage robes he knew of.

Even the mages of the extreme northern ice field, none of them dressed as thinly as Levi did.

Levi nodded and said, "Yes, hello, my name is Levi, I come from Maple Leaf City, and I came to the extreme northern ice field to search for something."

Tuanbu Langri spoke upon hearing this, "Greetings, Mage, my name is Tuanbu Langri, this is Adi, and this is Mike."

Adi held a bow taller than a man in his hand, while Mike gripped a curved kukri knife.

The professions of the two men were clear at a glance.

One was a divine archer, and the other was a bladesman.

The leading Tuanbu Langri, conversely, showed no obvious clues as to what kind of professional he was.

Levi saw no manifest traces of equipment on his body.

Tuanbu Langri explained, "Just now Adi used Hawkeye to discover a snow rabbit, and used a tracking arrow to shoot it from over a thousand meters away, I didn't expect it to almost mistakenly injure you, I am truly sorry."

Levi smiled and said, "It's fine, an attack of that level poses absolutely no threat to me."

As these words were spoken, the expressions of the three men undergoes some changes.

A trace of astonishment appeared in Tuanbu Langri's eyes, and then his attitude became even more cautious.

Levi's strength seemed even more powerful than he had imagined.

Come to think of it, if he were not powerful enough, he would not be able to cross the snowy mountains to come here.

Adi, on the other hand, showed a look of defiance.

He was unwilling to admit that the attack power of his arrow was pitifully weak.

Adi said with casual indifference, "That was just me trying to save some effort, since I was attacking a first-tier snow rabbit anyway, it didn't require much strength."

Hearing this, Tuanbu Langri lowered his voice in a stern rebuke, "Adi, hold your tongue."

Adi let out a soft grunt and turned his head away, falling silent.

Tuanbu Langri looked toward Li Wei, a touch of embarrassment in his voice as he said, "It is wonderful that you are unharmed."

Li Wei asked, "Where do you all live? Are there any human cities here?"

Upon hearing this, Tuanbu Langri knew that Li Wei was entirely ignorant of the conditions in the Far North Ice Plain.

He offered a warm smile and invited, "If you are unfamiliar with the land, I can guide you to Forred, the largest city upon the Far North Ice Plain."

Curiosity painted Li Wei's face as he hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Then I thank you ever so much."

Adi retrieved his arrows and saw that the tips were bent, the shafts nearly snapped by the sheer force of the impact, filling him with deep distress.

In the Far North Ice Plain, tracking down the materials required to craft arrows was no simple task.

Under Tuanbu Langri's lead, the four of them set off in the direction of Forred.

As they walked, he introduced the realities of Forred to Li Wei.

"Forred is also known as the City of Ice and Snow, ruled by the Ice Queen of the Far North Ice Plain; within its walls dwell not only humans but many other races, and aside from humanity, the most numerous are the Ice Elves."

"Rumor has it that the Ice Queen is herself the monarch of the Ice Elves, so within Forred, you must never offend any Ice Elf, much less commit any act that might harm them."

"Rest assured, however, for the realms where the Ice Elves venture rarely cross paths with other races, and it is no easy feat to catch a glimpse of them anyway."
