BXBX NOVEL Chapter 90
Chapter 90
"Tsk, they dare to eat our fish and still give us attitude, who do they think they are?"
Chloe nibbled on her grilled fish and said, "I don\'t know, maybe they\'re just naturally clueless."
As she spoke, she glanced at Ren Yunying by the icy lake.
Everyone involuntarily followed Chloe\'s gaze.
Daniel couldn\'t help but say, "See, I told you, anyone older will like fishing."
As soon as he finished speaking, the older Ren Yunying walked over with a whip in hand.
Daniel stiffened and bolted to the side.
Ren Yunying\'s face darkened: "You brat, dare to plot against the instructor behind his back? Stop right there!"
Daniel wailed inwardly, thinking only a fool would stop at a time like this.
This time, Chloe leisurely drank hot water and ate grilled fish.
Fortunately, it wasn\'t Chloe who got whipped.
...
The organizers gave them seven days to adapt, and when the seven days were up, the main teams from various military academies would be thrown into the space vortex to compete in the frigid north of the star.
Because the No.1 Military Academy didn\'t rank in the last competition, they were the last to enter.
At the same time, the broadcasting room at the base camp closed, and the screens turned on.
After experiencing so many matches, everyone had become accustomed to the dizziness of traversing the space vortex.
At least this time, when Chloe woke up, her teammates were also standing up from the icefield.
The cold wind howled, and not far away were endless snow-capped mountains, where not a blade of grass grew, and every breath produced billows of white vapor.
Chloe shivered, and Anderson quickly supported her.
She turned her head: "It\'s okay, let\'s go see the others."
The north side of the frigid planet was indeed colder, and Chloe felt for the first time what it was like to be in an "ice cave."
It was truly the kind of cold that made every inch of skin prickle.
Qin Huaibei and Katherine helped each other stand up.
"Quick, let\'s see if we have a map for this round," Qin Huaibei said as soon as he got up.
They each opened their backpacks and terminals, relieved to find that the map had been transmitted into the terminals, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Katherine said, "We have a map, so there\'s hope."
"In this extreme cold weather, even if we enter first, we won\'t get far," Chloe said gravely, "the problem is our movements will be slow."
But now was not the time to dwell on that.
Daniel tapped his own head and then transformed in front of everyone.
A huge, black-furred wolf appeared on the snowy plain with a majestic howl.
Daniel\'s voice was low, "It\'s much warmer after transforming."
The giant wolf\'s golden eyes looked at them proudly, "Hurry up and get on my back, it\'ll be much warmer, I\'ll take you forward."
This is indeed a rare and excellent idea. Chloe didn\'t hesitate for a moment and climbed onto Daniel\'s back without saying a word.
Daniel slightly lowered his body to make it easier for everyone to climb up.
The giant wolf\'s breath was extremely strong, and he asked, "Which way should I go?"
Qin Huaibei looked at the map and said, "Straight ahead, then turn right when you see the ice lake."
"At your command."
With that, the giant wolf leaped out with agile speed.
On the wolf\'s back, Chloe buried herself in Daniel\'s wolf fur, feeling exceptionally comfortable.
She felt very reassured because ever since Chloe expressed her desire to ride a wolf, Daniel had been washing himself clean every day, especially his fur.
He made sure to wash every single wolf hair white so as not to be rejected by the cleanliness-loving Miss.
Most importantly, if Daniel didn\'t wash, Anderson would grab him and beat him up.
How pathetic!
The wolf fur blocked most of the cold wind, and everyone felt much warmer.
Daniel also ran exceptionally joyfully. Along the way, they encountered nothing, surprisingly quiet and safe.
Thinking about this, Chloe frowned, "How come we haven\'t encountered a single fierce beast along the way?"
"Patience," Qin Huaibei said, "Fierce beasts in the extreme cold domain don\'t come out to hunt unless necessary, to maintain body heat."
After all, in this planet where cold waves could strike at any moment, keeping warm and staying alive were the most important.
Although he said that, Chloe still felt that something was off.
It was too quiet. Apart from the whistling of the cold wind blowing past their ears and the breathing of their companions, there was hardly any other sound here.
Chloe instinctively felt that something was wrong.
But her senses also told her that there was no imminent, overly prominent danger here.
Chloe could only temporarily hold her ground.
Daniel ran all the way and soon reached the edge of the ice lake, then turned right and continued running.
As they ran, Chloe\'s ears twitched.
It seemed like there was some faint sound... coming from beneath the ice.
Then, Chloe\'s expression changed abruptly as she shouted, "Stop! Don\'t run anymore!"
At her words, Daniel dug his four claws into the ice and barely stopped himself, asking, "What\'s wrong? Why can\'t we continue..."
Before he could finish speaking, cracks began to appear on the ice in front of them. These cracks spread like spider webs, rapidly widening, and finally, the ice collapsed, chunks of thick ice falling down, revealing a huge hole in the ice.
And it was still expanding.
Daniel was startled, hastily retreating.
The cracks in the ice spread extremely quickly. In no time, an irregular ice hole appeared here, with an estimated length of nearly a kilometer.
Daniel almost retreated while stepping on the edge of the hole.
By the time the situation stabilized, they had retreated a considerable distance.
"Damn it," Daniel couldn\'t help but curse, "My legs are about to give out."
He stuck his wolf head out and looked above the ice hole.
It was deep and pitch-black underneath, with no idea if it was water or the same ice surface.
In short, if they didn\'t stop in time, the group of five would only meet a tragic end.
Although some among them could fly, it was still uncertain whether they could take care of others in such an urgent situation.
Daniel shrank back, his voice trembling: "It\'s so terrifying. If Chloe hadn\'t reminded us in time, we would all be done for."
Chloe soothingly ran her fingers through the wolf fur, lifting her gaze towards the end of the tunnel.
Before long, she furrowed her brow slightly: "There are people on the other side."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became alert: "Who?"
Chloe was about to extend her perception to investigate when Daniel twitched his nose and angrily exclaimed, "It\'s Brut and his pack of mongrels! I can smell their stench from miles away!"
