Chapter 7: Ice Hunt I

Just when Jiang Hai City had become an undercurrent because of this incident, Han Feng, the center of the undercurrent, was already preparing to step into the infamous Ice Field of Death.

In fact, there is no clear demarcation line for the so-called death ice field, but it refers to the entire area. Han Feng was carrying a large number of daily necessities on his back, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to cultivate immediately. At the very least, find a place to live. The Death Ice Field is no denser than the Tading Forest, and you can spend the night anywhere you want.

There is no place to shelter from the wind and snow, and even if it is not dragged away by the monster, it will be frozen into popsicles at low temperatures. Ideally, you can find a cave, which is the safest thing to do. At the very least, you have to dig an ice cave in the solid ice that you can live in. At the very least, it must be able to withstand the terrifying blizzard on the Death Ice Field. It is extremely undesirable to pitch a tent directly on the ice field, or to build an igloo. This may work in normal times, but when it comes to a slightly heavier snowstorm, it will all be swept away. Eventually, after a period of searching, he finally found an idle cave on a peak covered with snow all year round.

Finding the cave made Han Feng happy for several days. Before he found the cave, he used magic to build an igloo on the ice field to accommodate him. Although this igloo is not resistant to wind and snow, it is much better than being unsheltered. However, this is not a long-term solution. In the event of a snowstorm, the igloo has no effect.

Stuffing all the daily necessities he bought into the cave, Han Feng officially began his cultivation journey. However, within a few days, he had another big problem, and that was food. When he first came to the Death Ice Field, he had the idea of living here for a long time, so he bought more spices and cooking utensils, but not much ready-made food. As a result, after a few days of consumption, there was not much food left, and he had to find a way to solve the problem about eating.

In fact, there are only two ways to obtain food in the wild, gathering and hunting. As for hunting, because there are no plants here, except for a few fish in the sea, the rest are carnivorous beasts.

Although Han Feng has lived in Jianghai City, a seaside city, since he was a child, the water is also very good. But this is a death ice field, and the water can't drown him, but the water is colder than ice. Han Feng is an ice magician, but that doesn't mean he's not afraid of the cold. Ice mages are just more hardy than the average person, and if the temperature is low enough, they will still get frostbitten, and may even freeze into popsicles. What's more, the sea monsters that live in the sea are not easy to mess with. After getting into the water, Han Feng's strength can only exert thirty percent at most, and if he really encounters any powerful sea demonic beast, he is afraid that he will only be obediently used as fish food.

After much deliberation, Han Feng finally decided to continue to rely on hunting demonic beasts on land to obtain food. It's not that he is confident in his own strength, or he wants to challenge the high difficulty, and deliberately seeks to fight with terrestrial demonic beasts that are generally stronger. Instead, he considered that if he encountered danger in the sea, he really didn't even have a chance to run. No matter how good the water nature of humans is, it is impossible to swim faster than the sea monsters. If it was on the shore, then he would at least have a chance to fight, and he would not have no chance of escape.

When Han Feng really started hunting demonic beasts on the ice field, he realized how difficult it was. It's completely different from hunting in the dense forests of Tading, where the ice fields are unobstructed and can be seen at a glance. If you want to hide in the shadows and sneak attack like hunting in the woods, it is simply impossible.

After thinking about it, Han Feng finally set his sights on the most non-aggressive magical beast in the Death Ice Field, the Ice Plains Penguin. The Ice Plains Penguin can almost be said to be the weakest magical beast on the entire Death Ice Field, and it is also the safest magical beast, there is no one. The vast majority of Ice Plains penguins are third-order demonic beasts, feeding on fish and shrimp in the sea, and almost never actively attacking people. When the humble ice penguins walk on land, they are very slow to sway. But, perhaps, it is a compensation from the divine. Once in the water, the ice penguins are more agile than many sea monsters.

For Han Feng, the ice penguins are the ideal prey in the Death Icefield. No matter what, it's better than fighting against the Polar Ice Bear, the Ice Thorn Fanged Tiger, the Ice Wind Mammoth, and so on.

In the Death Ice Field, the Ice Plains Penguin is the main food of the land monsters, and even some of the sea monsters also feed on the ice field penguins. For Han Feng, this is the easiest prey to hunt and the safest way to obtain food. The only thing to pay attention to is not to be targeted by other monsters during the hunt, and not to easily alarm the ice penguins. Because of the living habits of ice penguins, they live by the sea and never stay away. As soon as the wind blows, they will jump into the sea and escape.

Han Feng didn't think he had the ability to catch the icefield penguin that jumped into the sea. So, if he wants to successfully hunt the penguins in the ice fields, he must catch or kill them before they even jump into the sea.

In order to be prepared, when Han Feng chose a place to live, he deliberately chose a place close to the penguin habitat in the ice field. Although there was still some dry food left, Han Feng was still going to hunt some ice penguins and bring them back to the cave as food storage. Anyway, in the hellish weather of the Death Icefield, you don't have to worry about the food going bad no matter how long it lasts.

It stands to reason that the temperature in the Death Ice Field is extremely low, and the sea water should have formed solid ice. However, this is not the case on the Death Ice. As far as the eye can see, there is a solid ice cap. However, what is puzzling is that at the end of the ice sheet, there is an endless ocean, and there is no sign of freezing at all.

"Poof!······" Whoa!······"

Seeing the place where the ice penguins inhabit for the first time, Han Feng was only shocked. I don't know how long the coastline is, densely populated with ice field penguins. Thousands of penguins in the ice field, with waddling steps, swam around the ice field, and he felt furious to see it. As the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death! What's more, the ice penguins are also monsters, but they can't be compared to just ants.

Although in all sources, the Icefield Penguin is classified as the least dangerous monster. However, when Han Feng really faced a large group of ice field penguins, he still felt empty in his heart.

When Han Feng thought that if he didn't want to hunt the ice penguins, he would have to fight those ferocious carnivorous monsters, he still decided to bite the bullet and prepare to do it. Based on his experience of hunting demonic beasts in the Tading Jungle, Han Feng decided to use the method of sneak attack. Compared with the attack of the open knife and the gun, the sneak attack is simpler, more effective, and safer.

Of course, the environment on the Death Ice Field is very different from that of the Tading Jungle, and it is naturally impossible to copy the previous set. When you're in the Tading Jungle, just hide in the dense bushes and wait for the monster to attack when it gets close. Or, with the help of trees, sneak up on your prey. However, on the Death Ice, there is no shelter. Han Feng could only hide in the thick snow and slowly lurk towards the target.

The temperature on the Death Ice Field was extremely low, and Han Feng had to bury his entire body in the snow, leaving no gaps. On unsheltered ice fields, the snow that does not melt all year round is the best place to hide. Hide in the snow and slowly move towards your prey, then time it to be as lethal as possible.

Burying himself in the thick snow, Han Feng carefully used the ice magic to move the snow in front of him. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the caves around you to avoid exposing your position and alarming your prey due to the collapse of the ice tunnel. It is a very delicate and tiring task to use magic to excavate the passage space and at the same time to use magic to strengthen the fragile passages.

Because the whole person was buried in the snow, Han Feng couldn't see where his target was at all, and could only make a rough judgment based on the location he had seen before.

After groping his way forward for some distance, Han Feng estimated that he was approaching his prey. He began to carefully make a hole up to pass, ready to look at his position before deciding what to do next.

When he rose to the ground and still had a thin layer of snow, Han Feng would no longer go up, and if he went any further, he would reveal his whereabouts. He used his ice magic to condense a slender ice spike, carefully carving a small hole in the snow. Han Feng sneaked up next to the ice penguins through the snow holes. The ice penguins were wandering in the snow, still unaware of the danger approaching. Several times, a few chubby icefield penguins almost stepped on the snowdrift where he was hiding.

Carefully holding his breath, Han Feng's eyes were fixed on an icefield penguin that was staggering towards his location. As soon as the power of the ice condensed, the simple ice spike in his hand skyrocketed, from a small ice thorn to a solid ice spear that shimmered with cold light. Even on the cold ice field of death, a trace of white gas slowly escaped from the sharp ice spear. One can imagine how low the temperature on this ice spear was.

With a bow and a retreat, Han Feng aimed the extremely sharp ice spear in his hand at the penguin who was getting closer and closer to the ice field. The distance between the two was less than ten meters, and Han Feng had absolute confidence to kill this ice field penguin. He was taboo about the other ice penguins that lingered on the coast. These are all magical beasts, magical magical beasts, even if an ice penguins give themselves the lowest-level ice bombs, so many ice bombs will blow themselves up to the point that there is no scum left. His idea was to wait for the icefield penguin to get to the hole where he was hiding, kill it with lightning speed and drag it into the hole.

The icefield penguin, which looked silly, swayed as if it was deliberately cooperating with Han Feng, and walked straight towards Han Feng. "Squeak!" Because of nervousness, Han Feng's hand unconsciously grabbed the snow. However, even in such a nervous mood, the right hand of the ice spear he held did not even tremble.

At this time, he is like a poisonous snake hidden in a hole, ready to launch a fatal blow with his fangs at any time!
