?39: Chapter 29 Unexpected Encounter in the Frost Realm_1 39: Chapter 29 Unexpected Encounter in the Frost Realm_1 (You guys are so supportive, helping me get on the newbie categorical list in the last week, I am truly overwhelmed.

Four consecutive days with two updates, let’s keep up the good work and see how far we can go.

I would appreciate it if you could bookmark and recommend this.

The support of passersby is my greatest motivation.)

“When you see the exposed quartz veins on the rock wall, it means you’re on the way to the Frost Realm,” Pannis gently tapped on the luminous quartz on the rocky wall.

“Of course, you might also be going away from it.

However, if you follow the temperature, the closer to the Frost Realm, the lower the temperature.”

“So what is the Frost Realm like?” Catherine asked as she walked along the rock wall, caressing the quartz.

Even though she knew the value of quartz was low, she still looked fascinated.

“How to describe it.” Pannis struggled with his words.

“Well, it’s not much, just three large caves connected together, surrounded by very spacious corridors.

It’s very cold over there.

Because it’s so damp, there’s a layer of frost on the caves’ walls all year round.

As far as the eye can see, everything is white.”

“Is it very dangerous there?” Lina peeked out from behind Catherine and asked.

From early morning, Lina had been hiding behind Catherine, occasionally peeking out to whisper a few timid words before promptly retreating.

Thankfully, Pannis was already numb to this situation, he just glanced at Lina impassively: “Under normal circumstances, it’s not dangerous there, but still, very few people or magical creatures go there.”

“Why?” Catherine asked, puzzled.

“Honestly, if it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t want to go there either.” Pannis sighed.

“The place is occupied by a legendary giant python.”

“You must be joking,” Vivian exclaimed in surprise.

“How can there be a legendary magical creature?”

“Why not?” Pannis asked back strangely.

“In the lower caves alone, there are at least five known legendary creatures.

It’s common to come across one.”

“That’s not what I meant.” Vivian waved her hands.

“I mean, with the legendary python guarding the place, how can we look for the institute?”

“I suppose the key is the python’s slumber,” Catherine answered, speaking on behalf of Pannis.

“Didn’t Pannis just say that the python is dormant?”

“Yes.

It usually sleeps for more than ten months a year,” Pannis nodded.

“And once it falls asleep, as long as you don’t touch it, no amount of noise will wake it up.

We just need to avoid it during our exploration.”

“I doubt it would be that smooth,” Lina finally mustered her courage to speak up.

“Considering the cave dwellers, the wolf packs, and Dylan’s group we encountered before, I think our adventure this time must have been cursed by the devil.

Ah, sister, why are you knocking me?”

“Hiding well is enough, don’t talk nonsense,” Catherine gave Lina a look, then turned to Pannis and said: “Has anyone ever done this before?”

“Everyone needs to go there and do this,” Pannis affirmed, “There will absolutely be no problem if everything goes as expected.”

Catherine nodded.

“Well, let’s take a gamble and try it.

I’m just afraid that those two mysterious mages who cast spells on fire elements will cause trouble again.”

“No worries about those two, they should not particularly target us, and if they approach, I can sense them.

The key is…have you guys felt it, this chill?

That means we have entered the boundaries of the Frost Realm.

Now you can activate the fire attribute crystal energy for warmth.” Seeing all the girls nod, Pannis continued.

“The key issue is the dwarf who had a skirmish with us.

Last time I didn’t notice him at all, he must have some special method of concealing himself.

Besides, it seemed like he was particularly interested in Rachel.

That’s why he attacked us last time.

I tried to recall the fight yesterday, and I am sure that fireball he launched at the end was aimed at Rachel.”

“Interested in me?” Rachel pointed at herself, surprised.

“Why would he be interested in me?

It should be me who is interested in avenging him since he attacked us without reason.”

“Who knows, maybe…” Pannis’s originally carefree expression suddenly tightened, his eyes intensely focused on the darkness ahead, he asked decisively: “Who’s there, come out.”

The path ahead was shrouded in darkness, dead silent, no response came out.

“Vivian.” Pannis spoke, his eyes still tightly focused on the front.

“Got it, watch this.” Vivian quickly took an orange potion from her backpack, ready to throw it ahead.

“It’s us, we’ve met before,” a slow voice came from the darkness, two hooded figures slowly emerged into their view.

“It’s you guys,” Catherine recognized them.

“The Executioners of Shadow Hand?

We met at the entrance.”

Pannis remained alert, his gaze fixed on a point in the darkness, never moving for a moment: “Do I need to invite you out?”

“Hehe.” From the darkness came a soft giggle from a woman.

Her laughter was filled with infinite allure and temptation: “You’ve actually discovered me, impressive little guy.”

With her giggle, clear footsteps echoed in the darkness.

A pair of slender legs appeared first in the team’s field of vision.

Straight shins wrapped in over-the-knee boots, the tops of which connected to a form-fitting leather skirt armor.

The elastic material allowed her to move freely.

Above the skirt was a slim waist cinched by a delicate belt.

She also wore a tight-fitting leather top, the rough leather unable to hide the wearer’s charm.

With the twisting of her slim waist, an astonishing face slowly emerged into the light refracted on the team’s helmets.

Her lips held a mysterious smile, and her brows and eyes exuded an unexplainable tenderness.

Such a woman didn’t need to move or speak.

Just a glance or a smile could make countless men kneel at her feet, helpless to resist.

“I’m also from the Shadow Hand, an assassin, my codename is…

Passion.” The stunning woman had a voice that could fill people with endless fantasies.

Upon seeing “Passion”, Lina’s first reaction was to dig out a thick novel from her backpack.

Ignoring the dim light, she quickly flipped through several pages, then looked up at “Passion,” suddenly lowering her head dejectedly: “I’ve lost.

I’ve actually lost.”

“An assassin with a codename?” Catherine’s face changed: “Are you part of the Shadow Hand’s upper rank?”

“Well, I wouldn’t say I’m top rank, just a small fry running errands for my superiors.” “Passion” put on an aggrieved look, but couldn’t help but chuckle and turn her gaze to Pannis: “However, I am quite curious about you, little Silver Rank, how did you find me?”

“You can guess all you want.” Pannis seemed immune to “Passion’s” beauty, his response was indifferent: “If you guess right, I’ll tell you.”

“But, I don’t want to guess.” “Passion” gently swayed her slim waist and instantly appeared in front of Pannis.

She extended a slender finger, painted a light purple, to her lips, and coquettishly said: “I’m begging you, can you tell me?”

“Sorry, I’m not a mantis.” Pannis’s voice was flat and unemotional.

“Passion,” whose finger was making circles, paused.

The tip of her nail glowed menacingly, and a dangerous look flashed in her eyes.

She said coldly, “What do you mean?”

“Unfortunately.” Pannis’s lips curled into a faint smile: “I’ve met ‘Passion’, and I know you, dear Miss ‘Indulgence.'”

“Ugh, so boring.” Indulgence showed a bored expression on her beautiful face, and casually moved away from Pannis: “Now I know who you are.

Let me see, Pannis, right?

Hehe, you know me, I know you, we’re even now.

Back in the days, Passion had invited you to join her adventure team, right?

At the time, you were a temporary hire serving as both a Warrior and a scout, right?

Later on, despite her numerous invitations, you ruthlessly rejected her, right?

Passion hasn’t forgotten about you for years, ‘Ignoring an invitation to a Gold Rank adventure team, a Legendary Rank assassin, I hate him.’ Hehe, I’ve memorized it all.

You know boy, making a lady go through so much for you doesn’t make you a good man.

Speaking of which, I’m curious, what’s so special about you that made Passion so passionate to you?

Silver Rank, huh!

I don’t believe it.”

“It’s true.” Pannis nonchalantly shrugged.

“Nevermind.” Indulgence waved her hand, annoyed: “In respect to Passion, I’m not going to argue with you about these things.

Tell me, what brings you here?”

“Mission.

What about you?” Pannis was not interested in getting into petty disputes, he replied shortly.

Suddenly, he sniffed the air and frowned, “How long have you been down here?”

“Oh my, you found out.” Indulgence chuckled: “A month.

Those two were sent down to provide me with supplies.”

“If you linger for long, you’ll be on the verge of turning into a beast.” Pannis sneered, “Finish your mission quickly and go back up.

I wouldn’t want to see another Legendary Rank monster in these lower caves.”

“Hehe, you really are the kind of person Passion described.

Don’t worry, I know my limits.” Indulgence, who no longer carried the boundless charm she had when they first met but rather looked like a normal pretty girl: “My mission item is inside, how about you guys?

Do you need some help?”

“No need, we’re also heading in.” Pannis declined without a second thought.

“Huh.” A very strange expression appeared on Indulgence’s face: “Is your mission inside too?”

“It could be, we need to go in and check.

Wait, you’ve been here for a month knowing the mission item is inside?” Pannis suddenly felt a bit off, his face revealing the same oddity.

His normally confident demeanor was now wavering: “Did…

did you wake it up?”

“Hehe, hehe, hehe.” Indulgence laughed awkwardly, her gaze darting erratically, “This is just a mere coincidence, really, just coincidence.”
