Chapter 468: Frost Hunter

Several large mountains surrounding the Frost Kingdom in the Extreme Cold Zone.

A Frost Myriad Commander, accompanied by three Frost Shamans and one hundred Frost Warriors, found several Ice Crystal Statues in a cave buried by heavy snow.

Each Ice Crystal Statue was approximately 3 meters tall, and the carvings on the statues depicted a member of the Frost Clan, standing tall while holding two long blades.

After the Frost Myriad Commander and his party entered the cave, a terrifying killing intent enveloped them, causing these Frost Warriors—who usually could not feel the cold—to feel a bone-chilling cold; it was a fear from the depths of their souls.

A trace of fear flashed through the Frost Myriad Commander's eyes, but hindered by his status, he feigned composure, coughed twice, and spoke to the three Frost Shamans.

"Has word come from the Great Shaman regarding the activation?"

One Frost Shaman used a furry hand to take a crystal-clear Ice Bead from the robes on his chest; as the Ice Bead emitted pale blue energy fluctuations, the Frost Shaman shook his head and said.

"Two teams have yet to give the signal. The Great Shaman said to let us prepare first; once his signal arrives, we can awaken them."

Upon hearing the Shaman say this, the Frost Myriad Commander shouted to the 100 Frost Warriors behind him.

"Warriors of the Frost Clan, according to the formation arranged previously, we are preparing to awaken the Frost Hunters.

Let those self-righteous Humans know that we are the true masters of this land!"

The 100 Frost Warriors suppressed the fear in their hearts and replied in unison.

"Long live the Frost Clan!"

Subsequently, the 100 Frost Warriors assumed a strange formation, waiting for the Frost Shaman's command.

Due to being too close to the Ice Crystal Statues, the bodies of these Frost Warriors had already begun to tremble uncontrollably; enveloped by that terrifying killing intent, their nerves were now stretched to the limit.

Time passed second by second, and just as the Frost Myriad Commander was becoming quite restless from waiting, the Ice Bead in the Frost Shaman's hand emitted a dazzling blue light. Seeing this signal, the Frost Shaman immediately said to the visibly restless Frost Myriad Commander.

"Hm? Then let us begin!"

The three Frost Shamans slowly walked toward the 10 Ice Crystal Statues in the cave and began to chant a string of obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

The 100 Frost Warriors were now listless, lost in Silence. As the three Frost Shamans finished chanting the obscure incantations, the 10 Ice Crystal Statues began to emit a powerful suction force, and the three Frost Shamans hurriedly moved away from the 10 Ice Crystal Statues.

Every ten Frost Warriors began to walk toward the ten Ice Crystal Statues in front according to the previously established formation, and a Frost Mist quickly rose around the Ice Crystal Statues, swallowing the 100 Frost Warriors.

After about half an hour, only the sound of ice cracking could be heard coming from the Frost Mist, and the Frost Shaman said to the Frost Myriad Commander.

"Myriad-Man Commander, the ten Frost Hunters have been successfully awakened. The number of Frost Warriors they need to consume daily will double; tomorrow it will be 200. If we do not offer them in time, the Frost Hunters will attack us, so please, do not forget."

After hearing the Frost Shaman's words, the Frost Myriad Commander nodded with a grave expression and replied.

"Understood, I will be mindful of it."

As a killing intent even stronger than before enveloped the cave, the Frost Myriad Commander only felt a chill down his back. A pale blue long blade was held against his neck. Feeling the sensation on his neck, the Frost Myriad Commander's heart tightened.

"This time, what kind of prey do you need us to hunt?"

Accompanied by a burst of cold air, a cold voice came from behind the Frost Myriad Commander.

"It is a Human unit. They have invaded our territory, and the opposing side has 30 tall warriors between 2.1 meters and 2.4 meters in height. Their strength is formidable, and our warriors are simply no match for them, which is why the leader had us awaken you."

The Frost Myriad Commander dared not show the slightest negligence and spoke at a rapid pace.

After the Frost Myriad Commander finished saying these words, he finally felt the long blade at his neck being withdrawn.

The Frost Myriad Commander slowly let out a sigh of relief, and the worry in his heart gradually subsided.

"Heh, to think that the current Frost Clan cannot even defeat Humans. It seems the Frost Clan has fallen."

The Frost Myriad Commander, who had just wanted to turn his head to check the situation, could only hurriedly explain upon hearing this cold sneer.

"It is not that. Those 30 Humans are truly strong. Our Energy Guns cannot break their Armor at all, and the weapons in their hands can easily cut our warriors apart.

Furthermore, their physical fitness is also very strong. Even when charging while riding a Cuankui, those tall Humans wearing blue and white Armor will kill the Cuankui, and can even withstand the charge of a Cuankui."

However, the Frost Myriad Commander's explanation did not stop the cold voice behind him from sneering; that voice entered the Frost Myriad Commander's ears once more.

"Cuankui? Is that kind of Strange Beast strong? If your own strength is weak, then it is weak. Seeking excuses time and time again, the face of the Frost Clan is about to be lost by you."

Hearing this, the Frost Myriad Commander could only smile apologetically and say.

"That is true, your strength certainly cannot be compared to the strength of a Cuankui. So, shall we leave here first? Those Human troops are about to arrive, and when the time comes, you only need to take care of those 30 tall Human warriors."

"Hmph, as if you needed to tell me that. Lead the way."

Only then did the Frost Myriad Commander dare to turn around to look at this Frost Hunter, and the Frost Mist inside the cave gradually dissipated.

The Frost Myriad Commander saw a Frost Hunter wearing pale blue Armor and a pale blue helmet, revealing only a pair of glowing red eyes, standing before him.

Intricate patterns were carved onto the pale blue Armor, and there was a crystal-clear Ice Bead emitting a pale blue glow on the chest. The Ice Bead emitted a pale blue light from time to time, transmitting energy to various parts of the Armor along the patterns of the pale blue Armor.

The two one-meter-long Frost Long Blades in his hands were currently emitting a burst of cold air, and pale blue energy flashed across them from time to time.

The other 9 Frost Hunters also appeared before the Frost Myriad Commander. The Frost Hunter who had just spoken with the Frost Myriad Commander sheathed his two Frost Long Blades into the scabbards on his back and said in a cold tone.

"Let's go, lead the way. Let me see what is different about this prey."

Hearing this, the Frost Myriad Commander immediately nodded in agreement, taking the three Frost Shamans, who were also somewhat fearful, to lead the way in front.

"Yes, please follow me, everyone."
