Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

Before even entering the target neighborhood, Bai Jin felt a bone-chilling cold.

The temperature was so low that even he, a patient with stage six disease, found it somewhat unbearable.

"Damn it!"

Bai Jin cursed under her breath.

He knew Ji Chen would make a move, and he guessed they'd already started fighting!

"Phew—Old Bai, is the [Winter] we're looking for really a fifth-tier one? This commotion is practically sixth-tier, isn't it?"

Beside Bai Jin, a tall man exhaled a puff of white breath, his face full of disbelief.

His name is Feng Xun, and like Bai Jin, he is a sixth-tier silver-level hunter.

After receiving the mission, Bai Jin originally wanted to bring the two guards with her, but they were guilty and refused.

If they hadn't provoked Qin Shou, he probably would have given up after hesitating for a while. How could he have so easily provoked a [Natural Disaster] Pathogen?

If the two of them were to appear in front of each other, they would probably become targets of hatred immediately.

That's why Bai Jin noticed something was amiss.

Under severe torture, the two finally confessed the truth, which angered him so much that he threw them into the ground, planning to deal with them later.

To avoid causing trouble, Bai Jin did not bring a large group of followers like Ji Chen did, but only invited Feng Xun, who was from the same faction as her.

However, Ji Chen deliberately obstructed the communication, causing a delay and slowing down the process considerably.

"This elemental concentration...tsk tsk."

Feng Xun carefully experienced it and couldn't help but sigh.

As is well known, the wind element is extremely sensitive to all elements.

As a sixth-tier [Eye of the Wind], he naturally sensed the power hidden beneath the biting cold.

With a slight movement, the temperature of the entire street dropped below zero, even without activating any special abilities.

At this level, even if it's not Rank 6, its direct combat strength is definitely not inferior to Rank 6!

This clearly shows that the elemental affinity of the main character must be quite high!

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he frowned.

"That's not right! Why aren't there any elemental fluctuations from Ji Chen making a move?"

Are you sure?

"Yes! Confirmed!"

Feng Xun nodded solemnly.

The ability to "burn sand" is primarily earth-based and secondarily fire-based.

Although he couldn't directly control the fire element, he could easily heat up the sand he manipulated.

But even from this distance, all I can feel is the biting cold, which speaks volumes.

The two exchanged a glance, clearly realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Three sixth-tier fighters and a dozen or so fifth-tier fighters couldn't defeat the opponent?

How is that possible!

She either hid her strength or found a powerful backer, someone with terrifying raw power!

After a moment of silence, Feng Xun spoke first:

"Old Bai, what's next? Continue?"

"Hmph, you have no choice but to go."

Bai Jin looked pale, feeling as if she had swallowed a fly.

Ji Chen is a good-for-nothing, more of a hindrance than a help!

There was a chance to have a proper talk, but they had to ruin it!

Feng Xun sighed softly and followed Bai Jin into a small alley, where they soon came across an ice house.

In the hazy mist, it shone brightly white, like a large light bulb, extremely conspicuous.

A white-haired girl wearing a windbreaker sat on the steps in front of the igloo, with a gloomy-looking man standing beside her.

The two men had clearly been waiting for a long time and were not at all surprised by their arrival.

Feng Xun subconsciously looked around and saw almost no signs of a battle, except for the cracked cement floor and the remaining fine sand.

Every time Ji Chen takes action, he first turns the surrounding earth elements into sand.

Especially in urban warfare, where there are houses and concrete everywhere, the impact is far more obvious than other abilities.

"Are you guys never going to stop?"

Jiang Mian stood up from the steps, his blue-gray vertical pupils filled with displeasure.

Bai Jin quickly stepped forward and said, forcing herself to speak:

"Hello……"

"I'm not good."

Jiang Mian coldly interrupted his speech, causing Bai Jin to completely forget the words he had prepared.

"Calm down, calm down."

He suppressed his displeasure.

Even if the other party insists on taking action, we must find out their true intentions first.

The man beside her is probably her powerful backer, whose strength is probably unimaginable!

"Miss, we're not here to cause trouble."

"Oh?"

Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow.

"You guys are also wilderness hunters, right? Someone was just yelling at us, but he wasn't that strong."

She raised her chin and scoffed:

"Hmph, a bunch of short-lived bastards, eagerly courting death!"

"Cough cough..."

Bai Jin pretended to clear her throat, but in her heart she had already cursed Ji Chen a thousand times.

However, the girl did not take action directly, which makes her seem to be one of the few rational types among those afflicted by the [Natural Disaster] disease.

Compared to other patients who have progressed to stage three, this is already quite mild.

"Ji Chen's actions in causing trouble for you were unauthorized. Let me be frank, you... are a fifth-tier lesion patient, right?"

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Mian narrowed her eyes, looking at the two warily, her whole body radiating a chilling aura.

Ye Chenyang, standing to the side, also activated the power of [Formless], his shadows surging, seemingly ready to make a move at any moment.

"No, no, no, we have no hostility."

Bai Jin stopped Feng Xun, who was standing beside her, and explained:

"As you know, in Base City 187, strength reigns supreme. Our leaders greatly admire a genius like you, so..."

"So you want to invite me to join?"

Jiang Mian scoffed:

"Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

"They started causing trouble for me as soon as I arrived, even bringing people to surround me. If my brother and I hadn't been strong enough, we probably would have ended up switching places with those guys, right?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jin couldn't help but grind her back teeth.

That makes sense, but she also knows that she is a Wilderness Hunter, with a huge organization behind her.

It's enough to just talk; who wouldn't want to take this opportunity to get close to a big shot like them?

But in Jiang Mian's eyes, he could not see any emotion, only disgust and wariness.

Does she really not want to join?

In response, Bai Jin could only offer a condition that no fifth-order lesion patient could refuse.

"If I told you we have a method that would guarantee the suppression of the calamity's will after a patient advances to the sixth rank, would you be interested?"

"Oh? 100%?"

"100%!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Mian's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have become somewhat interested.

Those suffering from illness need to exert their own efforts and have a firm will to suppress the calamity.

No external force, including inhibitors, is necessarily effective when advancing to the sixth tier.

The higher the sequence, the more pronounced this is.

This guy spoke so definitively, it's impossible...

Seeing that Jiang Mian was still hesitating, Bai Jin turned to Ye Chenyang and advised him:

"Brother, you wouldn't want your sister to take such a big risk when she advances to the sixth rank, would you?"

Although I don't know what their relationship is, maybe they're just doing something special, I'll just go along with what she's saying.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenyang's brows twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at Jiang Mian, a perfectly measured hesitation in his eyes.

In a corner unseen by Feng Xun and Bai Jin, the two had already begun to exchange secrets.

"Really?"

"Not necessarily. The official team has been researching for so many years and still hasn't come up with a 100% perfect solution. How could a mercenary organization possibly have one? Unless…"

Unless what?

"The River of Oblivion."

"Heh, it really was her."

However, in Bai Jin's eyes, this scene had completely shaken the two of them.

"There's hope!"

He was overjoyed.

No matter what kind of illness a patient has, as long as they haven't reached stage six, they absolutely cannot resist the temptation of "hope"!

"Miss, I know that idiot Ji Chen has upset you. But he is him, and we are us. Different factions naturally have vastly different philosophies."

He pressed his advantage, his tone becoming even more sincere.

"I'm not bragging, but in the entire North, only our faction could come up with this plan! Even the other hunters within the organization don't!"

"real?"

Jiang Mian raised her head, her eyes still filled with doubt.

"Absolutely true."

"Hehe, okay."

Jiang Mian's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at Bai Jin and said, word by word:

"I promise you, but before that, let me tell you a few things. I can't believe everything you say."

"That's natural."

Bai Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said mysteriously:

"Have you... heard of the 'Boundless Gate'?"
