Chapter 709 A Distant Whistle
"Someone got separated so quickly?" Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat.
With a visibility of fifty meters, Xiang Nan couldn't even see Young Master Dongzi in the large group.
"Everyone stay where you are! I will bring five people to retrieve the lost brothers. Remember, don't move! Once you lose your way here, you will most likely never be able to leave for the rest of your life." Dongzi's clear voice came from right in front of you.
With that, the sound of heavy meat pads slapping the snow came from the front. It was the sound of the frost wolf running.
Xiang Nan tied the frost wolf to a tree and began to observe the mysterious area.
In the dense white mist world, there were still many luxuriant plants growing. However, the plants here were all very peculiar, mostly in the form of ice crystals.
Crystal-shaped tree trunks were covered with sharp needles, and among those needles were sparkling and translucent fruits.
Xiang Nan picked up a fruit and curiously held it in his hand. A flash of lightning flashed through his eyes to see if the fruit was poisoned or not.
However, this sight made Xiang Nan's hair stand on end. Inside the beautiful fruit, there were actually dense insects!
These insects were very strange. They all had twisted faces, as if they were the painful expressions of humans before they died.
"This is the Grievance Soul Fruit." A mercenary walked over and handed Xiang Nan a wine bag. "There are many souls lost in the Arctic. Over the years, these souls have gradually been frozen and mixed with the surrounding plants," he said.
"The fruit in your hand is a product of the stimulation of the undead. Once you eat one, it will usually cause people to go insane."
"My name is Zhou Zhan."
"What a peculiar thing." Xiang Nan took a big sip of wine and handed it to the mercenary, "Xiang Nan."
As the two of them were conversing, Dongzi's shout came from ahead, "The lost brother has been found. Let's continue on our journey."
"Everyone, remember to keep a certain distance from your brothers. Don't be left behind. Let's go!"
In the boundless fog, everyone continued to move forward.
But after walking for a while, Xiang Nan felt that something was wrong. In such an environment, cold should be the only temperature that humans could experience.
But in fact, Xiang Nan had felt the temperature rise ten minutes ago, so much so that now he even felt a sense of dryness and heat.
Even his strong physique could feel the heat, and the mercenaries felt even hotter.
Some even began to take off their coats.
Xiang Nan was puzzled. The snow on the ground and the frost falling from the trees all showed that the temperature had not changed substantially.
"Everyone, don't take off your clothes. Put them on!" In front of him, Dongzi shouted anxiously, "We've met Wenliu!"
"No matter how hot you feel, it's just an illusion. Don't take off the cold-proof coat I gave you. Otherwise, you'll freeze to death."
The mercenaries endured the heat and continued forward.
A few minutes later, the intense heat became even more intense. It was as if an ordinary person was standing guard in front of a large stove and being roasted by flames.
Finally, some mercenaries couldn't help but take off their clothes.
When their upper bodies were naked in the cold air, they let out a long breath of relief, feeling extremely comfortable.
When the surrounding mercenaries saw this scene, they were all eager to try. Xiang Nan unbuttoned his body.
Xiang Nan grabbed Zhou Zhan's wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't take it off!"
Zhou Zhan's face was red with fever, and he was panting heavily with his mouth wide open.
At this time, the mercenaries who had taken off their coats gradually turned pale in their comfortable breaths. Their faces changed from white to green, then to purple, and finally fell to the ground without any aura.
"I repeat, don't take off your clothes!" "Do you all want to die?" Dongzi roared.
Before he could finish his words, another hurried whistle came from behind him on the left.
Dongzi shouted angrily, "I said, don't fall behind. Who is this lost?"
Even though Dongzi had a good temper, his patience was about to reach its limit due to the successive problems.
"Wait where you are! I'll go find someone."
Just as Dongzi left, a hurried whistle came from behind him.
Xiang Nan frowned, wondering why two groups of people had disappeared at once.
However, before Xiang Nan could show it, hurried whistles could be heard from the left, right, front, and rear.
Those whistles were extremely abrupt in the quiet Extreme Frost Secret Realm. Sharp and loud whistles pierced through the sky, causing people's eardrums to feel pain.
"Something big has happened!" Xiang Nan's pupils constricted, and whistles could be heard from all directions. It sounded like nearly a hundred people were blowing whistles at the same time.
This sudden situation caught everyone off guard.
"Hallucinations?" Xiang Nan immediately activated the Nine Purities Cosmos Skill , but the whistle still existed. This meant that those whistles did not come from illusions, but from reality.
"I think there might be a problem. Zhou Zhan, stay here and don't move. I'll go find Dongzi."
Ignoring Zhou Zhan's obstruction, Xiang Nan immediately rode the Frost Wolf and chased after Dongzi.
The large army behind them also stopped, and everyone rested for a while to replenish their food.
Xiang Nan crossed the crowd and continued to run to the left. However, as he ran, he saw someone riding a frost wolf in front of him. He rushed back in panic.
"What's going on?" Xiang Nan hurriedly asked.
However, the mercenary was clearly frightened. He didn't even answer Xiang Nan's question and directly brushed past Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan's bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. He continued to run wildly, and then he saw three mercenaries crazily fleeing back from the other side.
Among them, there was no Dongzi.
Xiang Nan felt that he was getting closer and closer to the whistle. Gradually, some blurry silhouettes appeared in front of him.
In the middle of the two towering trees, there was an incomparably large spider web. On the spider web lay the furry white spider.
The width of the spider's body was nearly ten meters, and with its eight slender thighs, it was a hundred meters away.
The spider gently fiddled with the spider web with one leg, mimicking the sound of a whistle.
Beneath the spider was a group of mercenaries, who were standing in a confused queue and walking towards the spider in an orderly manner.
These people weren't just Frost Spear mercenaries, they were also mercenaries from other forces.
The giant spider pierced through the stomach of a mercenary with its sharp mouth forceps and absorbed body fluids from the mercenary's body. In an instant, the mercenary turned into a dried corpse and lay on the ground.
There were already thirty to forty mercenary corpses lying on the ground.
Dongzi was standing in line in the middle of the crowd. The expression on his face was very struggling. It was obvious that he was resisting the white spider's confusing ability. However, he was unable to resist, so he subconsciously followed the queue.
At this time, Xiang Nan also felt a very powerful mental control. That control made him have an instinctive urge to approach the spider's mouth.
Xiang Nan took a deep breath and circulated the Nine Purities Cosmos Art. His spirit immediately became clear.
"Dongzi!" Xiang Nan shouted.
This shout immediately woke up all the mercenaries in the queue.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and when they saw the white spider, their expressions changed drastically and they ran everywhere.
