Chapter 21 Frozen Tundra

Chapter 21 Frozen Tundra
Mo Fan and his group were in the midst of the bloodiest battle, when the five-headed Rampage Armored Dinosaur charged towards them.
One of the Rampage Armored Dinosaurs swung its massive tail, creating a gust of wind. Mo Fan and his companions leaped into the air just in time, while the other Rampage Armored Dinosaur opened its enormous jaws and revealed its razor-sharp teeth, coming dangerously close.
After a few tumblings, Bai Xinyong went up and punched, instantly bursting one eye of the Rampage Armor Dinosaur.
"Roar, roar, roar" This Rampage Armor Dinosaur suddenly went mad, wildly shaking its head. At this moment, Bai Xinyong had already dodged to the side.
Apage's eyes changed and with a mental attack, the crazed Rampage Armor Dragon lost its sanity and bit its companion.
Soon, the two giant beasts were locked in a brutal battle.
Meanwhile, the eyes of the other three Furious Armor Dinosaurs were also shattered by Zhang Xiaohou, Zhao Manyan, and others, and they too became enraged. Apas used the same tactic to take them down, causing the four Furious Armor Dinosaurs to become entangled with each other not long after.
"This ghostly place has even affected me, otherwise..." said Apsu angrily.
It is clear that this group of people, including Mo Fan, have their own abilities. Apsu is skilled in mental attacks and curses, while Li Ru is a vampire with strong blood and mysterious abilities, and Mo Fan and the others are all mages. It's really strange that everyone can't exert their full strength here."
Li Han and his team are using instruments for surveying and mapping, while Ling Ling and several others are resting on a small hill.
"Mo Fan, this place is really too strange. Whether it's you, me, Lui Ru, or Apas, we can't seem to use our abilities. After all, Lui Ru, Apas, and us are different. This place seems to be man-made." Ling Ling said thoughtfully.
So far, this should be the most helpless time Zhao Manyan has ever felt, even when she was a novice or intermediate wizard, she never felt so helpless. She has the ability but nowhere to unleash it. Hearing Ling Ling's words, she also fell into contemplation.
"It is possible," answered Professor Wei.
"This must be a huge project," even with his high rank in the military and broad experience, Zhang Xiaohou found it hard to believe.
The size of this continent is unknown, but it is certainly not smaller than Australia in terms of area. With such a long coastline and vast expanse, it is an engineering feat that humans could achieve. The land is also dotted with prohibitions.
众人也是不敢相信。
“有这种可能，也许是天然的一部分，加认人为的一部分。外面那些龙卷风绝对是自然界的没有错，但是这处空间的诡异怕是人为的。”莫凡说道。
"This time, elite military forces such as the US Special Magic Forces Navy SEAL team, the Russian Alpha Hunter team, and the British Special Air Service Witch Hunting team participated. It's probably the military's intention," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Maybe so. Before I came here, I was wondering if I could perform magic in this place. But until now, I haven't noticed any stable elements that could support it," said Mo Fan.
Upon hearing Mo Fan's words, everyone suddenly woke up.
"Since the elements are so chaotic, how was this land, these mountains formed? If even the elements are chaotic, how did life come into being? Where did the giant lizards and wild armored dinosaurs come from?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder. It's very likely that the existing land, life, and the space behind it began to be chaotic, and the probability of being manmade is high.
Before everyone had a chance to think, the violent wind howled and sand and stones flew around as another tornado descended.
"Quick, pack up the equipment and retreat," Mo Fan shouted, and the group quickly turned into several figures and fled into the distance.
It has been more than two hours since they set out, and the group has not encountered any danger so far. However, the temperature has gradually dropped and snowflakes started to fall. The ground behind them was still yellow-brown, but the front had already turned into a white expanse. The wind was blowing heavily and the deeper they went, the thicker the snow became. At the beginning, when the two surveyors returned, the group could still step on the snow and rush forward quickly, but gradually, everyone couldn't stand it anymore. Mo Fan took a look and saw that the temperature had dropped to minus 50 degrees Celsius, with ice and snow all around and nothing in sight except for thick snow and ice. The snow under their feet was already more than 10 meters thick.
Everyone had already taken out a few thick cotton coats from their spatial bracelets and put them on, but they still couldn't withstand the severe cold. They took out some shields from their spatial bracelets and placed them in front to block the wind, forming a circle. Some people stood in front, while others followed from behind.
"Keep up, hold on." Mo Fan said, while Ling Ling and Appas were already curled up in Mo Fan's arms.
"Go left, the strong wind is coming." Murong Xiao shouted.
Everyone gritted their teeth and ran to the left. The fierce wind howled and snowflakes danced.
"Captain Lin Han, Captain Murong, let us handle it," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Can you hold on?" Murong Xiao asked.
"No problem, we can still hold on." Lin Han said.
"Brothers, hold on, let's leave this cold place quickly, or it will only get colder." Mu Rongxiao said.
Looking at the hunters' persistence, Morvan also feels that hiring them this time is right. Their rich experience and unwavering spirit are the best help for Morvan and his team. There are no monsters to be killed now, and what they need to do is just to survive the harsh conditions in this area. Without these hunters, they would be in crisis.
"Xiaobai, give us a boost," said Mo Fan.
White Xinyong immediately leaped to the side, peeled off a square block of ice with his bare hands, hollowed out a space inside, and signaled for Mo Fan and the others to enter. After everyone squeezed in, he firmly grasped the ice block and pushed the ice house forward at a rapid pace. The fourth and fifth members of the Huangshan Hunter team ran out to clear the obstacles in front of White Xinyong.
After finishing the survey of one area, Bai Xinyong pushed the ice house and continued forward.
"Young man, do you want to take a break?" Mu Rongxiao said.
"Let him work a bit more, his performance should be fine." Zhao Manyan shrunk beside Mo Fan and said.
It was dark outside and everyone took shelter in a heavy ice house to rest. After all, they had been traveling all day and everyone was a bit exhausted.
Eating the prepared dry rations, everyone couldn't help but shiver.
“Even in icy and snowy conditions, ice magic cannot be used,” Professor Wei shook his head.
This harsh environment is far more frightening than beasts. Once beasts are killed, they are gone. But this coldness persists and is gradually intensifying.
"I wonder how the other teams are doing?" Zhang Xiaohou huddled under thick blankets, Lingling and Apsu cuddled together, Zhao Manyan held onto Mo Fan, shivering.
"They probably aren't doing any better than us. It seems we underestimated the danger level of this place. In the face of nature, us powerful magicians are actually so vulnerable," said Mo Fan.
Zhang Xiaohou also received a lot of training in the military, and coupled with the recent years of exposure to magic and physical training, his body is considered quite strong. However, who would have thought this place would be so harsh? Even the strongest body would not be able to withstand this kind of torment.
"Professor Wei, are you okay?" Mo Fan saw that the professor had been shivering and covered him with a layer of his own blanket.
"Thank you," Professor Wei said.
On the second day, the cold wind outside was piercing, and the temperature had dropped to minus 70 degrees Celsius. Everyone started to dig and break the ice layer to hide inside the layer of ice.
On the third day, a hurricane was howling outside.
On the fourth day, the strong wind continued and it was extremely cold.
"Let's go." Seeing Lingling and Apache with their red cheeks, Mo Fan felt that they couldn't just sit and wait for death.
Outside, the strong wind continued and the group chose to travel inside the ice layer underground. Two teams of hunters were responsible for clearing the way ahead, and their speed was not slow. Occasionally, they would take out instruments to measure the ground.
"Speed up." Mo Fan said and then he picked up the specially made weapon to continue clearing the way.
Anyway, the ground below was not as cold as above, primarily because it was buffeted by the icy wind, which was too much for a person to handle.
As long as they started working, their bodies gradually warmed up. The group all threw themselves into the task of clearing the road, taking turns to work. At one point, one person stepped out to survey the area, then returned to help with the work.
