Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

"God, what should we do with them?" Yueying asked, looking at the bound Black Wolf and the others.

Seemingly realizing that Cheng Zhuo was about to deal with them, Black Wolf quickly shouted:

"Lord City Lord, we're just doing this for money. If you can spare our lives, from now on, in the entire Tianji region, whatever you say, I, Black Wolf, will obey without hesitation!"

Cheng Zhuo glanced at it, then waved his hand and said:

"Get rid of them, leave none behind."

Upon hearing this, Black Wolf immediately became enraged:

"Lord City Lord, we hunters have a good reputation; we would never retaliate spontaneously after a failure. Your indiscriminate killing of witnesses is against the rules!"

Cheng Zhuo glanced at him irritably and scolded:

"You've come to our doorstep, accusing me of breaking the rules? I've even killed Bai Chize, why would I be afraid of breaking the rules?"

Having said that, he ignored the Black Wolf's howls and released the Sky Boat.

The silver-gray hull landed on the ice field, and the hatch slowly slid open.

Cheng Zhuo led the seven women, including Elder Yueying, into the cabin.

Because of the continuous appearance of spatial rifts in the high sky, the Tianzhou spacecraft maintained a low altitude of only forty meters above the ground after takeoff, speeding towards its destination along the direction of the canyon.

Along the way, they occasionally encountered a few waves of ice vultures circling low in the sky, but they were all swept away by the pulse cannons fired by the Nether Dragon, and did not even have a chance to get close to the ship.

After flying for about four or five hours, the scenery outside the window gradually changed.

The towering peaks all around came to an end, and the view suddenly opened up.

Ahead lay a boundless expanse of frozen sea, tinged with a pale grayish-blue, like a giant, dusty crystal, stretching all the way into the gray mist on the horizon.

Large, blurry black shadows floated beneath the ice, moving slowly and indistinctly, their outlines unclear. They resembled schools of fish swimming under the ice or giant, lurking beasts on the seabed.

The wind was stronger than in the canyon, whipping up fine snowflakes that pelted the windshield of the airship, creating a crackling sound. A thin, translucent frost quickly formed on the outside of the portholes, blurring the view.

"Master, we've arrived."

The voice of the Nether Dragon rang out at the right moment, "The Boundless Sea marked on the map, this is it."

Cheng Zhuo stood up, walked to the side of the ship, and looked down.

The ice beneath their feet was as smooth as if it had been crushed by a giant roller. A group of strange beasts wandered aimlessly, and in the distance, there was another group of strange beasts whose appearance was unclear, gathered together. There was no sign of any anglers.

"Let's go down and take a look."

The hatch opened again, and a chilly draft mixed with snowflakes rushed in. Cheng Zhuo was the first to jump out.

Seven women and Moon Shadow followed closely behind, and the eight figures landed on the vast ice plain.

There were quite a few ice-type monsters scattered around.

Near the slope, a group of Ice Spine Foxes were tearing at the rotting corpse. They were larger than ordinary calves, with translucent ice shards protruding from their backs, and their auras were all around the sixth or seventh level.

In a snowdrift a little further away, two ice giants were wrestling and roaring like madmen; their cultivation level was seventh rank, second stage.

Cheng Zhuo's gaze swept across the entire ice field, where gray fog pressed down on the horizon, blurring the view and making it impossible to see the end.

Forget about anglers, you can't even find a single human footprint.

"Let's hunt first. Look around and see if there's anything fishing." He instructed, "Everyone, don't stray too far. I have a feeling something's not right here. Elder Moonshadow, please take care of them for me and find a guy called 'The Angler' while you're at it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yueying bowed slightly in response, then stepped into the void and hovered quietly at a height of about fifty meters, beginning her search.

Just as Ruan Qinghe gave everyone a buff, Xia Chan darted out.

With a swift motion, she slid across the ice, her blade flashing a half-circle of cold light, heading straight for the wolf pack. Rosa followed behind, carrying her phoenix spear, its tip wreathed in pale golden flames, already in coordination with Catherine.

Cheng Zhuo didn't make a move. Instead, he summoned three thousand seventh-tier, level 1-3 Mo beast corpse puppets, which scattered and surged in all directions.

He then summoned Adrian, handed him control, and sent the three thousand corpse puppets to find the location of the 'Angler'.

Time passes little by little.

As the sun slanted westward, it dyed the entire ice field a pale gold color.

The ground was littered with the corpses of various strange beasts, some of which had even been eliminated, but there was still no sign of any anglers.

"Your Majesty, we've searched the entire area within a fifty-mile radius." Yueying returned to Cheng Zhuo's side.

"No trace of humans or fishing was found."

"That's really strange."

Cheng Zhuo looked at Adrian, who had been controlling the army of corpse puppets with his eyes closed, and asked, "Have you gained anything?"

"No." Adrian shook his head.

"Let's retreat first," Cheng Zhuo said, calling back his wives. "Let's leave the Void Realm first, go back to Tianji City to check some information, and then come back. Since this mission really exists, there might be some special triggering conditions. If it were that easy to find, Bai Chizhe would have taken it himself long ago and wouldn't have left it for us."

No one had any objections.

After playing for most of the day, I'm a little tired.

Cheng Zhuo left a boundary stone in a hidden ice cave, and instead of going directly back to Tianji City through the boundary gate, he returned the way he came.

This Ice Ruins has a clearly defined entrance and exit gate, and many people are definitely watching his movements. He doesn't plan to reveal his ability to travel long distances at will in Tianji City for the time being.

The return journey was much faster than the way we came.

By the time we reached the vicinity of the boundary gate, it was already getting dark.

A pale blue, cracked gate stood on the snowfield, and hunters were still coming and going from the entrance.

Cheng Zhuo and his group walked out in the crowd without attracting much attention.

As soon as I stepped out of the boundary gate, the wind softened considerably.

The temporary camp outside was still bustling with activity. Tents were pitched densely, and campfires were lit one after another. The aroma of roasted meat mixed with the smell of strong liquor wafted over, and the warm atmosphere of the people dispelled the chill in the Ice Ruins.

Many vendors set up stalls along the roadside, hawking local specialties from the Ice Market: ice crystals, exotic animal hides, frozen meat—a wide variety of items were available.

There were also small groups squatting by the roadside dividing their spoils, arguing noisily and getting red in the face over the source core.

Cheng Zhuo and his group had only taken two steps out of the boundary gate when two men in silver-gray uniforms blocked their way.
