Chapter 293: Exploring the break zone (2)
The moment Bing Xin froze the kobolds, the temperature around us dropped.
It was so cold that we could even see our breaths in the air.
That was how powerful the ice that Bing Xin used was, it was even able to affect the area around her like it was nothing.
I was already aware of this, but the others couldn't help revealing shocked looks when they saw Bing Xin's powers.
Though they knew that she was a B Ranker, they didn't know just how powerful her ice abilities were other than from the rumours that they heard about.
Now that they had seen it in person, they couldn't help admitting that all the rumours were true. Bing Xin's ice powers were indeed terrifying and worthy of being described as such.
There was no doubt that she would become an A Ranker in the future.
There was even a possibility that she would become a S Ranker.
The ones that were the most affected were Kaito and Blaze.
As the two of them stood there, Blaze couldn't help asking, "Can you melt that ice?"
Kaito looked at him in silence for a moment before saying, "Honestly, no. What about you?"
Blaze shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "If you can't, do you think I can?"
The two of them just looked at each other with bitter smiles on their faces.
This one move from Bing Xin had more than cemented her power in their hearts.
After she was done with them, she turned around and asked, "What do we do about the materials? They're completely frozen now…"
Hearing her say this, everyone couldn't help revealing faint smiles.
I also couldn't help feeling that this was a very normal thing for Bing Xin to say.
Though others thought of her as a tough and cold person, I knew what the real her was like.
I turned to Su Chen as if I was asking for his opinion.
Su Chen looked at the kobolds that were frozen and then asked Bing Xin, "They're dead, right? They're not just frozen alive, right?"
Bing Xin quickly gave a nod in response to this.
Su Chen nodded back before turning to me to say, "It's not a problem. We can just leave them here to thaw and bring them back later. I have a good idea of how long it'll take from my time working with you, young miss."
Bing Xin looked at Su Chen with a grateful look before saying, "There's no need to call me that anymore, you can just call me by my name."
Su Chen was surprised to hear this, but he gave a happy nod in response.
Since that had been solved, there was no reason for us to stay here any longer.
What we were after was much bigger than this, so we were far from done yet.
These kobolds were the weakest monsters in this break zone, so they wouldn't allow us to prove anything.
What we wanted were the higher ranked monsters that reigned over this break zone, those were the ones that would give us the best materials to bring back.
So after putting the koboldcicles away in a place where no monsters would be attracted by them, we headed off looking for more monsters to take down.
Since this was a break zone where monsters wandered around, it didn't take long before we were able to find another group of kobolds. But this time, we didn't attack them and instead ignored them.
There was only so much that we could carry back, so we wanted to find stronger prey instead of loading up on those kobolds.
But it didn't seem like the stronger monsters were wandering around.
After walking around for half an hour, we still weren't able to find a single higher ranked monster.
We were able to find several different kobold groups doing their own things, but not a single higher ranked monster.
We could have continued walking around, but this really wasn't the way to do it.
If we kept trying to find the higher ranked monsters like this, who knew when we would find them.
Just relying on luck wasn't the way to go.
The kobold group in front of us was walking around, as if they were on patrol.
Since they were on patrol, that meant that they would eventually head back once they finished patrolling the area that they were responsible for.
If that was the case…
While the others in my team were still wondering what to do, my eyes followed the kobold patrol and I said, "Let's follow them."
They were all caught off guard by these sudden words, but I had already started following the kobold patrol.
After looking at each other for a bit, they started following me to pursue the kobold patrol.
Since they were patrolling, it wasn't as if they were moving that fast.
It took no effort at all for the rest of the group to catch up to me and with Long Shui Ling's illusions, we easily hid ourselves from the kobolds. Though even without it, it would have been easy to hide from the kobolds in the first place since they weren't that perceptive to begin with.
While they were patrolling, the kobolds seemed to be talking to each other even if they weren't using words.
It seemed that they were just using grunts and other noises to talk, but they looked quite similar to those that were just bored with their jobs.
The patrol continued on for another half an hour before they finally started heading back.
On the way, they ran into several different groups of kobolds that they talked to.
With each group that they met, they always checked the traps that the groups were in charge of.
It seemed that there were many areas of traps set up in this forest, but what they were using these traps for…it was unknown.
Once they finished their patrol, they went back to this area that seemed to be a camp for the monsters.
