On a small hill thousands of miles away from Tianfeng City.

Xu Nian is cross-legged to heal his wounds.

After a long time, Xu Nian opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"Alas, I didn't expect that the damage to the body caused by this earth god swallowing the sky was so great, it's been two days, and the body has only recovered halfway, and the strength is also a big loss. Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.

His current combat power is only at the level of a one-star Battle Sect at most, and it will take a few days of recuperation to recover to the peak.

With his current combat power, let alone killing any nine-star battle sect-level demon beasts, even three-star warrior-level demon beasts may not be able to fight.

But fortunately, there are still nearly ten days before the handover of the mission, and he still has enough time to carry out the mission.

This mission is not simple, and the opponent is an extremely powerful demon beast six-winged ice crystal viper.

Moreover, the location of this Ice Dust Lake is also somewhat special, it is located at the junction of Dongyuan County and Nanhuang County.

Most of the junctions of Dongyuan County and Nanhuang County are steep and rugged peaks, so this ice dust lake has become a north-south transportation artery.

Three months ago, the six-winged ice crystal viper came to the lake and took over the waters.

Many merchant ships traveling between the northern and southern counties were swept into the bottom of the lake by this terrible demon beast and eaten all of them.

Gradually, merchant ships between the two counties became scarce, and even if they traveled, they would hire powerful mercenaries to protect them.

Some ordinary people who used to make a living from fishing in the ice and dust lake are even more miserable.

During this period, it was not that there were no strong people to deal with this beast, but this beast was extremely cunning and hid at the bottom of the Ice Dust Lake and could not come out.

The area of the Ice Dust Lake is vast, and Rao is a general-level master can't help it.

It can be said that the difficulty of this mission is super is not exaggerated.

However, the reason why Xu Nian took over this task was to eliminate harm for the people.

The second is also for this six-winged ice crystal viper.

The six-winged ice crystal viper is the fifth-ranked descendant of the Ancient Frost Dragon of the Nine Ancestral Dragons, possessing the power of the Frost Dragon's bloodline.

If Xu Nian could obtain the power of this frost dragon's bloodline, his physical cultivation would be further improved.

"It's probably not too far from the Ice Dust Lake, so let's walk slowly. Xu Nian muttered to himself in his heart.

His current cultivation would not help even if he rushed to the Ice Dust Lake, so it was better to practice while hurrying.

In addition, Xiao Xu Yu has recently reached the key to breaking through again, and he will soon break through the six-star Silver Moon Realm level, and Xu Nian doesn't want to bother it.

"Hey, this is a caravan from Nanhuang County?" Xu Nian hadn't gone far before he was attracted by a caravan coming from behind.

The number of people in this caravan is not too much, there are only a dozen in total, and all of them are wearing the costumes of Nanhuang County.

Although the two counties are adjacent to each other, the living customs of the two counties are somewhat different.

The people of Nanhuang County like bright clothes and have a unique style, so it is easy to see at a glance in the clothing.

The caravan of Nanhuang County appeared here, and there was obviously only one situation, that is, they had sold out their goods and were ready to return to Nanhuang County.

There were three wagons in total, two of which were stacked with goods.

Apparently, the items were purchased from Dongyuan County and were going to be brought back to Nanhuang County to be sold.

In addition, there are eight dragon horses and ten guards, all equipped with scimitars typical of Southern Wilderness County.

Eight of the ten guards are Warrior ranks.

However, the lowest is also a seven-star fighter, and two are masters at the level of the Battle Sect.

One is a one-star battle sect, and the other is a three-star body sect.

The ten guards had sharp eyes, obviously from a mercenary who was not weak and well-trained.

But what really attracted Xu Nian's attention was the old driver who was driving in front.

This old coachman is no different from an ordinary old coachman at first glance, with gray hair and a rickety back, but in fact, he is indeed a master at the peak level of the Battle Sect.

There was a gleam in the cloudy eyes.

The people in the carriage surprised Xu Nian, and through his spiritual sense, he found that it was a young and beautiful girl, only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The girl is not a cultivator, but an ordinary girl.

Such a combination made Xu Nian feel very weird, this was not a combination that a caravan should have at all, obviously the identity of the caravan was just a means for them to hide their eyes.

"Who, come out!"

Suddenly, the three-star body sect powerhouse who was riding a dragon horse at the forefront turned his head sharply and looked in Xu Nian's direction.

At the same time, a scimitar in his hand was thrown instantly, ruthless and decisive.

Xu Nian's feet moved, and the phantom trace was cast, and he hurriedly dodged.

"Bang!"

As soon as Xu Nian's figure flashed, a half-human-high stone where he was directly cut in half by a scimitar.

At the same time, the other mercenaries also drew their scimitars and looked at Xu Nian vigilantly.

Although the old coachman in the carriage did not move, his cloudy eyes were tightly locked on Xu Nian.

"Don't do it, I'm just passing by, and when I saw you hurrying away, I was curious to take a look. Xu Nian said with a smile.

He didn't want to do anything with these people, firstly, he had no grudges with these people, and secondly, with his current strength, he would only find death against these people.

However, these mercenaries did not let their guard down because of Xu Nian's words.

"Don't be nervous, this is still Dongyuan County, no matter how long the people over there are, they won't dare to make trouble here, this little brother has no malicious intent. The old coachman's old voice sounded, and his voice was a little hoarse.

When the guards heard the old coachman's words, they put away the scimitar in their hands, but their eyes were not much kinder when they looked at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian smiled helplessly, and didn't care.

On the contrary, the old coachman jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Xu Nian with a smile on his face.

Xu Nian subconsciously took a step back, this old coachman was the peak powerhouse of the Nine Star Battle Sect, if he had any murderous intentions, at such a close distance, he would not have the slightest room for resistance.

However, the old coachman did not have malicious intentions, but smiled at Xu Nian and said, "Little brother, I see that you are going in the same direction as us, and you are also going to Bingchen Lake?"

"Well, I'm going to Ice Dust Lake to do something. Xu Nian nodded, not hiding anything.

The old coachman smiled and said: "Although it is not far from Bingchen Lake, it is still nearly one hundred and fifty miles away, and it will take at least two or three days to walk over, just so we are going to go to Binglan Town in front, and then set off on Bingchen Lake, if the little brother doesn't dislike it, why don't you go with us?"

The guards around frowned when they heard this, obviously they didn't expect the old coachman to invite Xu Nian to accompany them.

However, they did not dare to disobey the old coachman's words, so they could only remain silent.

Xu Nian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Then thank you...... Grandpa!"

The old coachman laughed when he heard this: "I see that you are about the same age as my granddaughter, my surname is Yan, you can call me Grandpa Yan!"

Xu Nian scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Let's go, get into the carriage. The old coachman patted Xu Nian on the shoulder and smiled.

Xu Nian was not polite, opened the curtain and prepared to enter the carriage.

But the moment he opened the curtain, the whole person was stunned.

The girl in the black dress in the carriage is as beautiful as a fairy, and her delicate face is white and immature, like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.

But what really surprised Xu Nian was the pair of eyes of the girl in the black dress.

The girl's eyes were actually weirdly red, and at the moment she saw the boy's eyes.

A sea of corpses and blood actually appeared in front of Xu Nian's eyes, which made him feel a little trembling in his heart.
