Heart Cultivation 349 Disguise: Frozen Basin Is Killing

The junior Omega was strong backing of this caravan, the Omega was not ready to believe that he disappeared in the snow.

The junior Omega was not a weak hunter, if they could dig out the snow he might be alive inside.

"We heard the howling of the guardian beast there, is it safe to go back?" someone voiced out, one of those who ran immediately after they heard the howling spoke.

"The guardian beast is probably confused between two directions," another spoke this time, he brought the pampered hunter from there, and witnessed how clearly they did their work well to not leave any traces and it gave him confidence to speak out.

"Indeed, I am also sure that we are able to confuse guardian beast," Jen spoke this time.

Since everyone was insisting to go back and check then she should follow this wave else they might be suspecting soon.

The place which was chosen for such attack was approved by custodians, they were at advantage of their bodies to be able to dissolve, they could easily see beyond the snowy plain, since the caravan choose this path to find another exit, they inspected the certain place and informed Jen.

There was a sudden hollow depth undersurface of the snowy plain, as the custodians suddenly attacked and the snowy plain was broken with the strong body force of the hunter, he fell in the rocky depth where the custodians took his life without his will.

It was not a mere small area but spreading many square feet which could be used to advantage once more, a custodian made sure that the snowy plain remain the same for the onlookers so that they could be deceived by their next decision.

What matter most, Jen has told them that they need to work collaboratively so that without delay the hunter's present counting began to bottom down one by one, the effect of the herb was uncertain, who knows when she would be exposed without letting her chew another one.

So basically, every movement was an opportunity for them. or they should make it like that.

The Omega took ten of hunters and walked toward the location, for guidance he brought the hunter along, Omega left Jen there in the caravan to take rest, it would be too much for this hunter if he brought him again, thinking he walked back to the path.

Half a day passed and when the hunters and Omega reached the location, the light got dull in the surrounding, as soon as the Omega ordered them to dig out the snowy plain, the custodians got ready, all the hunters except Omega were standing at the right place for custodians to act, only the Omega was standing a foot away.

If the Omega happened to be there too, they might not have acted because they can't kill these hunters and the Omega at the same time, the custodians have to fork out all their strength to battle with Omega and still it would take some time finishing him off.

These remaining hunters from the large caravan of five hundred hunters were not strong enough and they usually hunt in the groups.

The hunters moved to dig out the soft snow, they were using their strength and force to push the snow away just like half a day ago the hunters were pulling snow to hide the traces, now they were uncovering.

The ground suddenly shook as the custodians flapped against the lower layer of the snow which was little tough to let the travelers stand on the surface, it crumbled and the snowy turned upside down gulping the hunters along, it left the Omega agape, he could not believe what he just witnessed, he instinctively stepped back, he was not sure what was inside and how the hunters fell undersurface and he was not willing to take risk, it can be unexpected and dangerous.

There must be some strong reasons behind the rarity of the cultivators choosing this place for venturing and he don't want to know.

This incident was a lesson for him and the remaining hunters to be on alert for any unexpected happening and survive beforehand if they could.

He returned back in the caravan, there was risk taking the back route, there was risk taking the further path so they were struck in the Frozen Basin.

Wen he reached back, it was complete dark but the snow was surprisingly lit or perhaps emitting dull light from the ground, the hunters were not sure but it greatly helped them to look for the way ahead.

Only a fool would neglect his life and think about the reason which made this snow lit up.

Even if it was treasure, there was no treasure precious than life.

The hunters saw their Omega returning and there was no one around him, he was alone, did he left the hunters behind? they were forced to think.

It was possible that perhaps guardian beast appeared and happened to catch the hunters but the Omega was fortunate to kill it and survive.

Or he intentionally left them behind to search junior Omega and the caravan will wait till then.

"The snow turned upside down and the hunters disappeared, I am sure the undersurface is not safe for anyone to look out, from now on we have to be careful to not slip in such snowy plain," he spoke as if tired.

Probably he was guilty to not look out for the hunters but if he did and vanished who would have led the remaining hunters to their destination? He thought and came back.

"Should we continue our journey?" someone asked.

"Indeed there is no reason to stop here and wait for the more dangers," the Omega furiously spoke and walked past, he was thinking to walk along with the first group of the hunters.

Instead of pitifully falling in an unknown depth, he preferred to lead in the first group.
