"The first theory is that the Snow Maiden is ferrying the living and the dead, and those who disappear follow the Snow Maiden voluntarily."

"The second theory is that some people say that the Snow Maiden is a man-eating monster."

「......」

After listening to the rumors that Yu Tao used to relieve boredom, Lin Yan and Ye Jinyan became interested.

"Brother Tao, do you think there really is a Snow Girl in this world?" Ye Jinyan wondered.

Before Tao could talk, Lin Yan denied it.

"Jinyan, Brother Tao, I think this is some kind of Pokémon doing, it's not some monster Snow Maiden, it's just that I'm curious, why did this Pokémon take those people, didn't the 11th Bureau or the local agency investigate?"

Originally, it was just a story to relieve boredom, but Lin Yan suddenly asked the point.

Yu Tao thought about it and said, "Your guess is right, the 11th Bureau and the relevant local agencies also think so, thinking that it is some kind of Pokémon power, and they have also sent people to investigate this matter."

"But without exception, they didn't gain anything, and the rumors became more and more bizarre, and over time this matter has been left like this." qδ

"But it's true that people often disappear, so whether it's inside the secret territory or on the periphery, it's very dangerous to be a forbidden area now."

When the words fell, Lin Yan frowned.

Whether the rumors are true or not, one thing is certain, and that is that many people were killed at the hands of Pokémon.

According to my own perception of ice Pokémon, it seems that all the spearheads are pointed at that Pokémon.

Snow Boy's evolutionary type, Snow Demon Girl!

It's the only one that belongs to the ice gen, and it has the ability to create illusions, but why does it attack humans so often?

If it is in a specific area of the Winter Secret Realm, and an outsider breaks in, it makes sense for the Snow Demon Maiden to attack.

But listening to Yu Tao's words, it seems that the Snow Demon Maiden's attack on humans is not only in a specific area, but it will even take the initiative to attack humans outside the secret realm, which is a bit inexplicable.

"This snow demon girl is a little scary in her aggression, I hope you don't touch it after you go."

......

Hours flew by.

March 5th.

The plane landed in the ice country.

After getting off the plane, I suddenly came from the scorching rainforest to one of the coldest places in Blue Star, which was somewhat uncomfortable.

Lin Yan and Ye Jinyan kept sneezing, Yu Tao was fine, just like the figure of the Hulk, it was completely worthy of the harsh climate here.

Under the reception of the local 11th bureau branch, the three of them successfully got on the special bus to the vicinity of the Winter Secret Realm.

Compared to the ice country city, the cold outdoors is even more severe, and the temperature is close to minus 20 degrees.

When the vehicle stopped, Lin Yan could emit smoke when he exhaled.

"Three comrades, more than ten kilometers ahead, it is the winter secret realm that you are going to this time, pay attention to safety, we can only send you here."

"Thank you."

「......」

After saying goodbye, the three of them could only rely on themselves for the rest of the journey.

There is only white in the visible range except for white, and there is no end in sight.

In the ice and snow, the next three can only advance on foot, given the possibility of flying to trigger a large number of wild ice Pokémon attacks.

Lin Yan and Ye Jinyan released their respective Pokémon, and at this time, they were already full after recovering from the plane.

Compared to the human physique, the seven Pokémon are as if they don't feel this kind of bad weather.

Soon, the ten figures began to advance towards the Winter Secret Realm.

The road was smooth, Lin Yan and Ye Jinyan were not so afraid of the cold after walking and moving, plus they could let the Pokémon carry themselves if they had nothing to do, and the snow road of more than ten kilometers only took half an hour more than the ordinary distance.

As soon as the three of them and the seven Pokémon arrived at the barrier outside the Winter Secret Outer Barrier, Lin Yan's brain heard the voice of the system.

【Ding... Detected that the host is about to enter a large secret realm]

【Activate Uncharted Quest】

[Type: Class B]

[Find the Snow Demon Girl who attacked the humans, defeat it, and rescue all the humans frozen by it]

[Rewards: 160 Qi Luck Value, Flame Orb, Tarzan Crushing Trick]

"Defeat the Snow Beprey? Rescue all the humans she froze?"

"Those people are still alive?"

From the tasks given by the system, Lin Yan immediately captured the key points.

It seems that his previous thoughts were correct, the so-called legend of the Snow Girl was caused by the Snow Demon Girl, and those who fell into hallucinations and disappeared are still alive.

Originally, this time it was just to find the Ice Stone, and Lin Yan didn't want to meddle in it.

Even if he had guessed that it was the Snow Demon Maiden who caused the commotion, he didn't break it.

After all, the Snow Demon Girl's energy replenishment is to absorb the human man's soul, a very normal law, at most, the man who absorbs the spirit will collapse for a few days, but it will not die.

And those men who can be seduced by the illusion of the Snow Demon Girl are not good people.

It is estimated that the reason why those people have disappeared for so long is because the Snow Demon Maiden has used them as long-term reserve food.

"Since the system has given you tasks, let's go and save those people."

Lin Yan secretly decided to come down, and before the three of them were ready to enter the Winter Secret Realm, he spoke.

"Brother Tao, Jin Yan, I think of one thing."

"Remember the legend of the Snow Maiden on the plane before? I used my special ability to take a look, and it was indeed caused by an ice-type Pokémon, and its name was Snow Witch."

"Usually they create illusions to seduce unscrupulous men to absorb the spirit, and the man who is absorbed will be weak for a few days, but after a few days it will return to normal."

"It's just that from the rumors, those men have disappeared, and I suspect that these snow demon girls are using these men as reserve food."

"Anyway, we're all here, why don't we meet these snow demon girls and rescue these men who are used as reserve food?"

When the words fell, Yu Tao and Ye Jinyan looked surprised, mainly because there was too much information, and they didn't accept it for a while.

"Are you saying that all the humans who were lost in the snow are still alive?"

"That's right!"

「......」

After some discussion, the three decided that they had a chance to save the humans who were still alive.

After all, whether it is a system task or the concept of the 11th bureau, it is still impossible to save three people without seeing death.

From this point of view, the investigation work of the Winter Secret Realm now is not only in addition to collecting ice stones, but also how to fight against the Snow Demon Maiden.

Before entering the secret realm, Lin Yan introduced a wave of Pokémon like Snow Demon Girls in detail, and explained all their attributes, characteristics and habits.

Combined with the previous legend of the Snow Maiden, the three of them came to a conclusion, that is, there is definitely more than one Snow Demon Maiden who sucks human essence in this secret territory, and maybe the next thing they will face is a Snow Demon Maiden family!

Without knowing how strong the other party's level and strength were, the three of them began to have some difficulties.
