On the vast, boundless ice plain, everything is white as far as the eye can see. The wind howls, carrying fine snowflakes. The undulating ice mounds and deep ice crevasses are faintly visible in the white snow curtain.

As the snowflakes drifted down, only the biting wind and the soft thud of snowflakes falling to the ground could be heard. The whole world was enveloped in silence, devoid of any sign of life.

This is the third day since Yuan Zhinu and Lao Tang entered Greenland, and the first day of their meeting with Fingel. At the same time, they encountered their first problem in entering the ice field: they got lost.

At this moment, Fingel held a map and gestured at the endless white expanse for a long time, but he still couldn't see any difference in the surroundings.

Old Tang was bundled up tightly, his entire body covered in white winter clothing, and he sidled up to her like a white snowball.

"Brother, how did you lead the way?" Old Tang shouted, his voice booming in the wind and snow.

Fingel, also wearing a cold-weather suit, looked at the map from all angles and realized something was wrong. So he simply stuffed the map into his pocket and pulled out a compass.

"We shouldn't be going the wrong way, right? If we keep going in this direction, we should get there soon."

"Brother, are you asking us?" Old Tang looked incredulous. "Weren't you leading the way?"

Yuan Zhinu looked at the two of them staring at each other and inexplicably felt that her future was bleak. She took two steps forward and snatched the map away.

That was such a detailed map, with every location marked out in detail. The only flaw was that they didn't know their current location.

Yuan Zhinv realized she had made a mistake; the location where the helicopter dropped them off was very close to the sea area where the academy had its accident years ago, and it should have taken less than half a day to walk there.

Since Fingel kept assuring her that he could lead the way but not to get too close and alert the academy, Genji believed his lies.

As a result, after walking for half a day, we still haven't seen anything.

“Junior sister, you have to believe me. The last time I came here was a long, long time ago, and someone even led the way back then.” Fingel looked innocent. “But I believe we’re not far off.”

“There is an offshore mining company that has built an offshore mining platform there, with thousands of offshore miners working there. It should be easy to find. I think we can go further.”

"Which way is front?" Yuan Zhinv asked. "You should know east, west, south, and north, right?"

"Hmm, I think it should be... Nan?"

"Is this what you meant by 'absolutely no problem'?" Yuan Zhinv's voice was colder than the ice beneath her feet, her gaze extremely unfriendly: "Are you really lost, or are you deliberately leading us in circles?"

Upon hearing this, Finger immediately clutched his chest with both hands, looking heartbroken: "Junior sister, your words are so hurtful. So you don't trust me at all? Look, I've traveled thousands of miles to this desolate ice plain to find someone for you. Aren't you even moved?"

"For me?" Yuan Zhinv blinked. "Say it again, for whom?"

Fingel scratched his head, this usually frivolous guy looking completely bewildered: "You said you were coming to see the Crown Prince, and I thought it was too dangerous for you to do it alone, so I came. How could it not be for you?"

"Junior sister, are you going to turn your back on me? Logically speaking, your senior brother has gone through fire and water for you, you should be moved to tears and even offer yourself in return! What's with that expression?"

"Alright, alright, I admit I do have some selfish motives. I think if we can really find the Crown Prince, it would be a very exciting topic, worth the effort. But my main concern is still you!"

The useless senior brother talked on and on, but Yuan Zhinv didn't say a word, practically saying "I'm just watching you make this up" on her face.

Just like in the simulator, Fingel doesn't believe her at all and doesn't tell the truth. He's probably looking for an opportunity to shake her off and run away.

Fortunately, the Snake Clan had prepared a GPS satellite locator and a wireless signal transmitter for her, and they were quite complete. Getting lost was not a problem at all; she could just find an open space to connect.

I never expected Fingel to be so impatient and pull such a stunt right from the start.

Yuan Zhinv is considering whether or not to expose him directly.

The main reason she chose to bring Fingel over was because she felt he knew a lot. He was one of only two survivors of the Greenland incident, was very secretive and had many trump cards up his sleeve, making him a great asset.

But if this guy not only doesn't help but also causes trouble, then it's not very interesting.

Just then, they heard a faint sound from ahead, and simultaneously heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the ice surface seemed to tremble slightly.

"What's going on?" Fingel craned his neck, peering out curiously. "An avalanche?"

Genji shook her head: "It's not an avalanche. An avalanche wouldn't make this kind of trembling sound. It sounds more like something is fighting..."

"What could be making such a racket?" Fingel asked incredulously. "And who would be fighting here? This place looks like a deserted, godforsaken wasteland."

“It might not be a person.” As she said this, Yuan Zhinü was already heading in the direction from which the noise came. “It could also be a bear, like a polar bear or something.”

Fingel was stunned: "Girl, are you serious? You knew it was a polar bear and you still went? Do you know how terrifying those things are? One slap from one polar bear can crush a person's skull!"

“What if it’s a person? We’d have to take a look to know.” Yuan Zhinv didn’t turn her head. “Besides, so what if it’s a polar bear? I’m not Caesar.”

"What does this have to do with Caesar?" Fingel was really going crazy. He wanted to stop this inexplicable girl and explain to her how terrible polar bears were.

Before he could even speak, a shadow had already blocked Yuan Zhinv's path.

Old Tang's expression was very serious at this moment. If you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were twitching. He hadn't said a word, as if he was afraid of something.

"You can't go," Old Tang said in a deep voice. "I told you, didn't I? I have the ability to sense danger. It's very dangerous there! Extremely dangerous!"

Yuan Zhinü immediately became interested: "How dangerous is it?"

"Extremely, extremely dangerous." As if afraid she wouldn't believe him, Old Tang emphasized, "I don't know how to describe it to you, but in a situation like this, I would have turned around and run away long ago."

What he was thinking was that if he had felt this sense of danger before accepting the mission in the Sahara Desert last time, he would have given up on the mission immediately. Why would he have caused all the subsequent events, and how would he have ended up meeting this madman in front of him?

Therefore, it is clear that the thing in front might be even more terrifying than this madman, and might even be life-threatening.

However, given that this madman was standing right in front of him, he didn't dare to say it aloud. He could only keep emphasizing the danger. If he weren't so cowardly, he would have run away long ago and wouldn't be here arguing.

Fingel lacked this intuition for danger, but being the cunning man he was, he was unwilling to get involved and joined Old Tang in persuading them, focusing on describing how terrifying polar bears were.

No matter what they said, Yuan Zhinü had already made up her mind and didn't stop walking. Old Tang and Fingel looked at each other, and having no other choice, they could only follow.

What they didn't know was that the moment the commotion was heard, Genji had already sent countless snakes to dive into the water to investigate. After confirming that there were no giant whales around and that the person fighting the polar bear was indeed a human, she decided that she had to go.

She learned from the simulator that there are two dragons in Greenland: a black dragon guarding a corpse and a giant whale. She can deal with the black dragon, but she has to avoid the giant whale.

As for how many things are secretly watching, that remains unknown, and Yuan Zhinv doesn't really care; all she wants to do now is find the embryo.

The fact that it wasn't found in four simulations means that you definitely won't find it if you just blindly search for it. But something that big must be making some noise while it's hatching, and there will definitely be some anomalies.

Since the machine can't detect it, perhaps asking the locals is a good option. If even the locals say there's nothing unusual here, then Genji should seriously consider whether the embryo actually exists.

As they drew closer, the enormous sound became clearer and clearer, and finally, they could see the scene not far away.

Beneath the boundless snow and ice, five or six enormous and ferocious polar bears, each the size of a small hill, roared, their voices echoing across the vast ice plain. Their thick forelimbs swung about, as if they could easily tear everything in their path apart.

Standing before it was a petite girl, not very tall, looking no more than ten or twenty years old, with skin so white it seemed to melt into the snow, pale blue pupils, and light blonde hair that was almost white. She was wrapped in a thick fur coat, a style of dress unique to the locals.

Compared to these terrifying polar bears, she was as insignificant as a speck of dust, but there was little panic on her face, and she held a short blade that she had clearly sharpened herself.

The polar bear suddenly pounced on the girl, the powerful impact sending snow flying. The girl dodged to the side with remarkable agility. The polar bear attacked again, its massive paw slamming towards the girl.

The girl quickly rolled away, avoiding the fatal blow, and at the same time swung her short blade, cutting a shallow wound on the polar bear's body.

The injured polar bear roared angrily, but before it could pounce again, the girl quickly pulled a large-caliber pistol from her pocket and fired without hesitation at the big thing's head.

"Bah!"

With a loud bang, the polar bear's head exploded, its flesh and blood bursting out like fireworks, scattering everywhere.

This enraged the other polar bears, whose massive claws slammed onto the ice, causing the ground to tremble. Without hesitation, the girl fired again, but this time she missed the head. The bullet penetrated the thick layer of fat, drawing only a little blood.

Then, something unexpected happened. The girl quickly approached the enormous creatures and, before their heads were knocked off by their claws, plunged her short blade into the bullet wounds while simultaneously firing at their heads again.

The movements were fluid and graceful, her hands incredibly steady. Blood splattered in front of her, but the girl didn't even blink, as if she was already used to it all.

Old Tang was stunned by what he saw, and muttered subconsciously, "Wow, are all pretty girls this fierce these days?"

"I don't know," Fingel replied, equally bewildered. "Junior sister, you absolutely mustn't follow her example! Girls who are that fierce will have a hard time finding boyfriends!"

No one answered them, because Genji had already drawn her sword and charged forward.

Chapter 133 Who exactly is she?

When Fingel saw so many polar bears, he felt something was wrong.

Polar bears rarely hunt in packs, but the way these bears surrounded the girl suggests they were cooperating, indicating they were aware of the danger and felt they couldn't succeed hunting alone.

These seemingly clumsy creatures are actually the top predators on the Arctic ice. They run incredibly fast, have an amazing bite force that can easily crush the bones of their prey, and have an acute sense of smell that can detect food from kilometers away.

Compared to these enormous creatures, the girl's petite frame was truly insignificant, making one wonder if there would be enough meat to go around after a successful hunt with so many bears.

But now they don't have to worry anymore, because their meat should be enough for this girl to eat for a long time.

The already confident girl was completely overwhelmed when Genji joined the fray, and the remaining bears were easily overpowered and pushed down, their last struggles appearing utterly futile.

Old Tang and Fingel stood there dumbfounded. They looked at each other and saw utter despair in each other's eyes.

Can't the beautiful girls in this world be any better? They're all so brave and fierce, putting a lot of pressure on us men!

Completely ignoring the feelings of the onlookers, Genji casually wiped the knife on the polar bear's snow-white fur until the red bloodstains were completely cleaned before sheathing it.

Throughout the entire process, the mysterious girl kept watching her, holding a short blade in one hand and a gun in the other, her posture showing undisguised vigilance.

"Let's chat?" Yuan Zhinv asked, then added in English, "you, me, talk?" in case the other person didn't understand.

Upon hearing this broken English sentence, Old Tang and Fingel simultaneously covered their faces, suddenly wanting to turn around and leave, pretending not to know this guy.

Surprisingly, the blonde, blue-eyed girl spoke coldly, but in fluent Chinese: "Who are you people?"

"Ah, thank goodness you understand." Yuan Zhinv breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "We're here to find someone at that marine mining site. Do you know where it is?"

Logically speaking, such a large landmark should be known to locals.

As expected, the girl nodded, but there was no relaxation in her light blue eyes, and her voice was as cold as the falling snow: "The person you are looking for is not here. Leave as soon as possible."

"Why?" Old Tang couldn't help but interject, "You don't even know who we're looking for, how can you say there isn't anyone?"

The girl gave Old Tang a cold glance, and that single look made him flinch. It felt like being pricked by an icy needle, making his hair stand on end and sending chills down his spine.

"Because the miners are all locals, they all know each other, and they basically have no friends from other places."

"I don't care what your purpose is in coming here, get out."

The girl's merciless words made Yuan Zhinü frown, but before she could react, Fingel spoke with a smile.

"It's fate that we met, and besides, with so many bears, how are you going to carry them all back?"

“Don’t worry, we mean no harm.” Fingel raised his hands to show his sincerity: “Besides, you have a gun. If we have any problems, you can just kill us.”

The aloof girl seemed to be thinking, her light-colored eyes sweeping over the three people in front of her, her gaze lingering on Genji for a moment, as if assessing their combat strength.

Old Tang chimed in at the opportune moment: "Yes, yes, it's getting dark, and we can't leave now. We'll help you drag the bear back, and in return, you let us stay the night, how about that?"

As if to verify Old Tang's words, a gust of cold wind blew by, accompanied by a whistling sound. The sky had indeed darkened. The darkness of the Arctic Circle was no joke, and even the young girl showed a look of hesitation.

In the end, she gave in, but her face remained expressionless; the girl was as cold as ice.

She took out a lot of ropes from a backpack not far away and tied them to the largest polar bear. Everyone understood and went up to help her drag it.

As the snow fell heavily, the sky gradually darkened. However, the girl clearly knew the way and resolutely headed in a certain direction. After walking for a short while, she saw faint orange lights in the distance, indicating what seemed to be a village.
