Two men and one woman, all resembling people from Western countries, with tall figures and well-defined features.

Both men were wearing combat black armor, covering their entire bodies. One had a giant axe on his back, exuding a shocking aura, fierce and terrifying.

The other man had long golden hair, a pale face, and appeared somewhat sinister.

The final woman wore skimpy and revealing clothes, alluring and captivating.

The one speaking was the man with golden hair, evidently the leader among the three.

"Camper, boss." Nan immediately stood up, showing a respectful expression.

The golden-haired man nodded slightly, his gaze tinged with curiosity as it landed on Lin Mo and Saeko, "These are your friends? Asians, pretty unfamiliar faces?"

In Snow City, there are also Asians, but their numbers are relatively scarce, so those who often mix around in Snow City are somewhat familiar with Asians, whereas Lin Mo and Saeko's faces were evidently much more unfamiliar.

"They are both friends I just met…" Nan introduced with a smile: "This gentleman is the leader of the War Axe Mercenary Group, Camper. That gentleman is Leo and Jinia, the deputy commander of the War Axe Mercenary Group."

"What should I call the two of you?"

Camper smiled, looking at Lin Mo.

"You can call me Lin, and as for this one, you can call her Sword." Lin Mo replied coolly.

"Since both of you are new friends of Nan's, let me treat you both to a drink." Camper offered warmly, snapping his fingers to call a waiter and requested two more cups of hot fruit wine.

Lin Mo swept through with his Divine Thought, completely unnoticed by the three; the man carrying the giant axe was at Moon Wheel Realm, whereas Camper and the woman both possessed the strength of the Star Wheel Realm Peak, i.e., Seven Stars of the Star Wheel Realm.

Through casual chatter, Lin Mo also learned that the War Axe Mercenary Group is a fairly well-known team in Snow City, rated at level, just needing to complete an S-level task to upgrade to a level Mercenary Group.

The divisions of mercenary groups are sss, ss, s, ... various levels, requiring different levels of tasks to get evaluated. The higher the level, the better special treatment received from the Mercenary Guild.

"It's a pity, during the last level task, the team lost five members." Camper said gloomily, taking a swig of his drink.

"This time I took on a level task, needing to get close to the perilous icy areas to complete it. If successful, our mercenary group can upgrade to a level mercenary group."

After saying this, Camper's gaze fell upon Lin Mo, saying: "Lin, you came to Snow City probably to take on tasks too, why not join our mercenary group and complete the task with us? I'll proportionally distribute the profits you gain."

"Is that right? That sounds wonderful."

Lin Mo replied enthusiastically.

"Haha, you are Nan's friends, also my friends, tomorrow morning we'll meet up with the Golden Master and head out to the Ice and Snow Plain." Camper laughed heartily.

The three chatted, rising and walking towards the bar outside.

Just stepping out onto the street, the snowflakes were spinning intensely in the cold wind, which felt like ice blades cutting on the face.

"Camper, why request those two weak Huaxia people?" the Giant Axe Warrior Leo asked puzzledly.

"Nan is selfish and deceptive, how could he have friends? Those two Huaxia people are somewhat odd, and they probably have quite a bit of Treasure on them." Jinia said with a seductive smile.

"Leo, Jinia understands me well." Camper's enthusiastic smile vanished, replaced by sinister expression, a gleam of greedy cruelty flashing deep in his eyes, as he strode toward the Mercenary Union.

Inside the tavern.

"Master, why did you agree to them?" Saeko asked with knitted brows, full of doubt, communicating through Divine Thought.

"I have my reasons, maybe from them I can find out some information regarding Qionglong Taoist."

Lin Mo raised the corner of his mouth, speaking with a faint smile.

Earlier when the three appeared, Lin Mo sensed the wooden plaque stored in his Space Ring given by Shen Qianlong emitted a faint glow, evidently Camper and the others might have some connection to Qionglong Taoist.

…

The next day, the world was completely white.

Snow City is about fifty kilometers from the Siberian Ice Plateau, the closest city to the Ice Plateau.

The air was bleak, the cold wind like knives. Snowflakes and ice grains spinning rapidly in the air, everything in sight was a vast expanse of white, such harsh living conditions naturally unbearable for common people, resulting in their gradual departure from Snow City, leaving only some powerful Abnormal People on the Ice Plateau.

From Nan's mouth, Lin Mo learned some information about the Siberian Ice Plain, which attracted so many mercenary teams mainly due to the ruins, fierce beasts, and Secret Realms within the plain.

Mercenary teams hunt fierce beasts, obtaining materials to make weapons, elixirs, or sell them as Spirit Stones. Exploring the Secret Realms within the icy plain also yields many benefits.

But likewise, benefits are proportional to danger. To gain more benefits, one must venture into the depths of the icy plain. The deeper one goes, the higher-level fierce beasts they encounter, increasing danger.

At the north exit of Snow City, six jeeps parked amid the swirling snowfall, vaguely visible were silhouettes standing there.

"Nan, Lin, Sword, you are here."

Camper greeted warmly, stepping out of the city were Lin Mo, Saeko, and Nan.

"Leader."

Nan greeted respectfully.

Lin Mo merely nodded slightly, indicating greeting.

"Alright, the people are all here. Leo, go check if all members of the War Axe Mercenary Group have gathered!"

Camper instructed.

The bear-like Leo nodded, going to check on the gathering of mercenary members.

The entire mercenary group had about thirty people, each with their specialties.

"A few years ago a Star Wheel Mirror Martial Artist was almost a powerful figure by themselves, but now are there so many strong people in the Star Wheel Mirror?"

Lin Mo felt somewhat emotional.

One reason was the revival of Spiritual Energy on Earth, allowing martial artists to obtain more resources and opportunities, resulting in many strong individuals. Another reason was the circle issue, like a poor person unable to imagine the lifestyle of the wealthy.

Different circles, different heights, determine who you can come into contact with.

"Lin, I'd like to introduce someone to you."

Camper looked very enthusiastic towards Lin Mo, his expression seemed genuine, making people feel warm.

"Okay."

Lin Mo nodded indifferently.

Lin Mo was deeply aware of the harshness of the Cultivation World, with no friends, no brothers, only faces born out of interests.

Therefore, apart from family and a few friends he initially knew, Lin Mo never trusted anyone, let alone the leader Camper whom he had known just for a day.

Camper stepped into thick snow, making squeaky sounds, leading Lin Mo and the others towards a jeep.

Outside the jeep stood a slender woman, dressed in tight leather clothing and pants sketching her already explosive figure even more mesmerizingly, with long black hair like jade draping over her shoulders.

Her features were sharp, a typical beauty, yet there was icy coldness in her black eyes.

Such a wholly black-clad woman standing amid vast white snow was quite striking.

"Lady Shen Feng, I need to introduce two friends to you."

Even before reaching the opposite side, Camper laughed heartily.

Wonderful continuation tomorrow.
