The white winter suit is as heavy as armor, the combination of breathing apparatus and goggles is like a bulletproof helmet, and the source stone staff in the shape of a rifle is held... The team of the Infected, known as the Snow Monsters, is very different from the previous enemy in terms of equipment and training. The movement made by Zhao Xi was very slight, and it still aroused the vigilance of the two peripheral guards. Quickly exchanging glances, they separated from the left and right with their weapons in hand, and slowly approached the ruins of the young man's hiding from both sides.

The opponent's actions were in full view, but Zhao Xi couldn't think of any good plan for a while, so he lowered his body lower, and everyone's suggestions soon came to his ears.

"Captain, this distance... Within the effective range of the gun. ”

"Well, I can remove the source stone fuse, so the movement will be much smaller, but it's hard to say whether I can kill the enemy."

It's good that everyone is working together instead of standing idly by, but after a little thought, Zhao Xi still decided to use force as a last resort. "Even if they are killed, the remaining snow monsters will call for reinforcements, and if you have to do it again, I want to think of another way."

"Something else? Captain, you might try to make yourself nothing, so everything will be fine~"

Zoya's speech was even more sarcastic, but someone who was anxious had a flash of inspiration, and a bold idea was born. "Wendy, I need your help."

“... That's probably it, can it be done? ”

"Yes."

"Then let's do it, if they find out, take the last resort, Jessica and Meteor each snipe a snow monster, and then we will retreat immediately."

After completing the instructions, he took a deep breath, feeling the sudden increase in weight on his back, Zhao Xi put away his weapon and spread out his limbs, and the whole person fell down in the snow in a large shape, focusing on the two enemies more than ten meters away.

Whether they succeed or fail depends on whether they have insight into the truth next.

Under the tense atmosphere, every second seemed incomparably long, listening to the clicking sound in the ruins gradually getting louder, after the two snow monsters communicated silently with gestures, one of them stopped in place and used the source stone technique to activate the weapon in his hand, and the other put away his staff, pulled out his scimitar and jumped up violently, stepping on the rubble to stand on top of the ruins, and made a downward slashing pos---

What caught his eye was a hill of crumbling stones and broken bricks, and a charred wooden beam with frost on the surface of the scorched wood was trampled by him, swaying in the cold wind, making a clicking sound.

Is it the wreckage of a building that has been frozen and collapsed? Judging from the current situation, the man in white wanted to move the stone pile away, but found that a thin layer of frost was attached to its surface, and the structure was extremely loose, and it would be difficult to clean it up for a while.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Seeing that his companions bent over and tinkered but there was no follow-up, the snow monster who was on guard behind was puzzled: "Is it a non-infected person?" ”

"No," stabbed the knife through the cracks in the rubble a few times, and the inquirer finally lifted the alarm. "It's this thing that gave us a false alarm."

Throwing the half-cut beam shown to their companions back to the rubble, the two snow monsters looked around for a few more moments, and then returned to the queue in a hurry, not paying attention to their departure and return, and the snow monsters stayed in the open space for a few more moments before leaving the area in a row.

It wasn't until the last member of the snow monster team disappeared into the white mist formed by the frost that the wind elemental that drifted through the air reconverged and 'swept away' the hill-shaped cover. Finally seeing the light of day again, Zhao Xi, who was pressed underneath, sat up, grinning and moving his aching body.

"They didn't find out."

"Probably not," he put his hand on the pergola and looked at the frost mist that had dispersed, and there was a little more surprise in the frost leaf's eyes. "Captain, you're crazy."

"Indeed, that pile of rubble weighs on the body, and ordinary mercenaries will be seriously injured if they don't die, so it's no wonder that the other party doesn't suspect it." Re-replacing the weapon with blasting source stone ammunition, the Sakaz woman smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I heard that the captain has also been a mercenary before, is it in Colombia or Kazdale?" ”

I've never been a mercenary, and the reason why I dare to do that is purely because I believe that Wendy won't cheat people. Complaining silently in his heart, Zhao Xi said two words, patting the gravel and snowflakes stained on his clothes. "Absinthe, look what those snow monsters are doing in the ruins."

As she was staring at him with concern, the girl from Ursas who was called was stunned for a few seconds, and finally saluted a little unwillingly, and walked quickly to the place where the magicians had just stopped. After a little examination to confirm that his body was fine, Zhao Xi quickly rushed over with the others, and was just as he ran into Zoya taking out a black crystal from the root of the wall.

"Source stone, and unprocessed rough ore." The well-informed meteorite saw Jessica stretching her hand towards the breathing apparatus, and immediately grabbed the latter's arm to stop him: "Don't pick it, the dust content of coarse ore is extremely high, and it is very easy to suffer from ore disease without protection." ”

"Hmm!" The facial muscles twitched twice, and the film girl hurriedly withdrew her hand, nodding her head in pain. "yes, I'm sorry, it's the first time I've seen rough ore in reality..."

"You're hurt?"

"She has a wound on her finger," Frost Leaf said lightly at the Falling Star's puzzled gaze, "When everyone was lurking before, she stuffed her finger into her mouth in order not to make her teeth chatter, and she probably bit it at that time." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xi, who couldn't help but look at the film girl twice, and Zhao Xi, who had a changed impression of her, took out a band-aid and disinfectant cotton from her bag, and stuffed them into Jessica's hand. "Take care of the wound and be careful not to get infected."

The girl with short blue hair walked to the point where the source stone dust would not spread, and began to disinfect the wound, adjusting the crooked breathing apparatus by the way; Burying the black crystal back in its place, Zoya also came to a conclusion. "They were just setting up the Source Stone Circle."

Circle, white or red light came to mind from the feet of the characters in the movie, and then a circle or hexagonal pattern that looked very awesome was generated, and some demons or angels appeared in it, Zhao Xi couldn't help but look at the wall twice. "What's the effect, summoning a meteorite to smash this area?"

"Uncle, what are you talking about, if they really had such a powerful ability, they would have discovered us a long time ago~~" pouting and dancing at the same time, as the only magician in the team, Zoya tried to explain in simple language. "Injecting power into the source stone, activated by the user's mental power, the magic circle will release a large amount of cold energy, freezing everything around."

Touching the wall that was covered with a layer of frost and slowly heating up, seeing that with it as the center, the radius of about twenty meters turned into an icy domain, Zhao Xi nodded in disbelief. And by his side, Frost Leaf poked the wall with the tip of the spear blade, and said thoughtfully: "The strangeness we encountered before is probably the location of another magic circle. ”

"Hmm..."Rubbing her chin with her index finger, Wendy muttered, "Is this magic circle that releases frost permanent?" ”

"No, when the energy in the source stone is extracted, it will automatically become invalid, and the creation of cold is also intermittent and does not always take effect." Patting the dirt off her gloves, Zoya turned her gaze to Zhao Xi. "Captain, what's next?"

I don't know the snow monster's intention to do this, but Zhao Xi smelled something bad from it. "Can you destroy the circle without alerting the person who set it up?"

"I need some time."

"Then let's do it, everyone disperses, and if you find the enemy, you will immediately warn you."
