Chapter 436: Plan to Capture the Little Fox
Snow country, within the country.
On a vast land covered with silver,
At this moment, outside the ever-expanding rift gate,
The members of the extraordinary organization, Frost Covenant, are still busy surrounding the mysterious space crack.
They are constantly strengthening the surrounding fortifications.
The current leader of the Frost Covenant, Ice Snow Camellia, was standing on the high platform of the temporary command post, anxiously staring at the rift door that was constantly emitting strange energy fluctuations.
Her face looked extremely pale and nervous, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her whole body exuded an aura of extreme worry.
"It's been so long, why haven't you come back yet?"
Bingxue Camellia couldn't help but take another look at the exquisite timing device on her wrist. Every jump of the time hand made her feel heavier.
Now, more than fifteen hours have passed since the elite expedition team led by Xiao Bailian entered the Rift.
According to the original plan, they should complete the exploration mission and return safely within 1 to 3 hours.
however.
It has been more than three hours now, but there is still no sign of any team returning.
During this time.
They have already dealt with many waves of disaster beasts that escaped from the rift gate.
However, the members of the exploration team still showed no signs of returning.
This abnormal situation made Bingxue Camellia feel extremely uneasy and anxious.
In order to ensure the safety of Xiao Bailian and her group, she has even sent three batches of elite rescue teams into the rift to carry out search and rescue work.
The first two rescue teams have returned safely to the real world as scheduled, but the news they brought back was not optimistic.
The two experienced rescue teams conducted a large-scale search in the Rift, but still found no useful clues or traces of the Little White Lotus Expedition Team.
Just when Ice Snow Camellia's anxiety reached its peak, the rift gate showed signs of energy fluctuation again.
Following a ripple effect caused by space distortion, the third rescue team members also returned to the real world from the rift.
The moment she saw the rescue team appear, Bingxue Camellia immediately walked down from the platform and quickly walked towards the team that had just returned.
Her steps seemed a little hurried, and her eyes were full of anticipation and nervousness.
"How about it?"
Bingxue Camellia walked to the front of the team and couldn't wait to ask about the situation.
"Have you found any trace of Xiao Bailian and the others?"
There was obvious worry and anxiety in her voice, and she clearly had high expectations for the outcome of this rescue operation.
However, the senior member of the Frost Covenant who was leading the group slowly shook his head, his expression solemn and helpless.
"I'm sorry, Chief."
His voice was low and heavy.
"We still haven't found any valid clues."
The rescue team leader paused for a moment, then continued to report their findings in the Rift.
"The situation is much more complicated than we thought."
"We discovered a large number of Scourge Beasts in the Rift, undergoing some kind of massive migration."
There was confusion and worry in his words.
"The behavior patterns of these monsters are very unusual. They all seem to be moving in the same direction, as if they are looking for something important."
The rescue team leader's expression became more serious.
"What's worse is that all the information coordinates and location marks left by Xiao Bailian and the others were accidentally erased due to the large-scale movement of the disaster beasts."
"Whether it's information markings or physical traces, it's all very difficult to find."
"We have no way of tracking their movements or determining their current location."
After hearing this depressing report, Bingxue Camellia's face became even uglier.
She sighed deeply and looked up at the crack door that was still fluctuating, her eyes revealing deep worry and helplessness.
Bingxue Camellia felt a splitting headache and a feeling of irritability rising in her heart.
If Xiao Bailian really died in the rift, my sister would probably be furious.
After all, as Xiao Bailian's aunt, she does have the responsibility and obligation to protect her niece's safety.
If something unexpected really happened, she would have no way of explaining it to her sister.
But the problem is that she had carefully selected and considered the members of this exploration team.
Not only is there an apostle of the Apostolic Order hidden in the team, but there is also the powerful fairy Violet as the main fighting force.
In addition, Xiao Bailian himself is not a weakling, so it stands to reason that such a lineup configuration should be able to deal with most dangerous situations.
If Xiao Bailian strictly abides by the safety rules of the exploration activities, does not run to the dangerous area too far from the entrance, and can return on time within the specified time,
So theoretically, there shouldn't be any major problems that cannot be solved.
But the result now is this worrying situation, which makes Bingxue Camellia feel confused and anxious.
What kind of unexpected situation could cause the exploration team to lose contact for such a long time?
Moreover, three consecutive rescue teams were unable to find any effective clues...
Bingxue Camellia clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles turned white from the force.
She was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle in her heart, and the expression on her face became more and more determined.
After a brief hesitation and thinking, Ice Snow Camellia finally made up her mind.
"no solution anymore."
"Now it seems that I am the only one who has to go in there myself."
Although Bingxue Camellia's words were calm, they revealed a strong sense of responsibility.
As the current leader of the Frost Covenant, she has the obligation to ensure the safety of every member, especially important figures like Xiao Bailian.
The whereabouts of Xiao Bailian are unknown and the entire organization has fallen into a state of extreme tension.
And if there is really no other way, she can only go into the dangerous rift herself to find the answer.
After all, with her strength and experience, she will have greater confidence and ability to cope with various unknown dangers.
After hearing what the leader said, the subordinates on the side immediately became panicked.
Then he hurriedly took a step forward, his tone filled with obvious worry and opposition.
"No, Chief!"
Her voice was trembling, and she was clearly extremely uneasy about the suggestion.
"If you encounter any accidents in the Rift..."
Before the subordinate could finish his words, he was interrupted rudely by Bingxue Camellia.
"Nothing surprising."
Bingxue Camellia's tone became unusually harsh and decisive.
"Pack your equipment quickly. I'll provide the specific personnel list later."
She paused, then continued giving instructions.
"Those whose names are called will join me in forming the fourth search and rescue team. We must enter the Rift Realm as quickly as possible and find the whereabouts of Xiao Bailian and the others."
Just as Bingxue Camellia was preparing to form the fourth search and rescue team and personally enter the rift to look for Xiao Bailian, new movements suddenly came from inside the rift gate.
The space crack began to fluctuate violently, emitting bursts of low humming sounds.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a clear and loud bird call, a huge black shadow quickly rushed out from the rift gate.
It was an extremely large feathered beast of disaster, and its wings, when spread out, could almost cover half of the sky.
This gigantic bird monster flew out of the rift at an astonishing speed. After circling in the air, it began to slowly lower its altitude.
Seeing another disaster beast rushing out from the rift, Bingxue Camellia's first reaction was to immediately organize a defense.
She hurriedly turned to the surrounding Frost Covenant members, ready to give the order to attack.
"Quick! Another disaster beast has appeared. Get ready to repel it!"
however.
Just as he finished speaking, the sharp-eyed Ice Snow Camellia suddenly noticed a shocking detail.
On the back of this giant feathered disaster beast, there seemed to be the outline of some human figures.
She quickly squinted her eyes and carefully observed the blurry figures, trying to confirm whether her judgment was correct.
When she saw one of the familiar figures clearly, Bingxue Camellia's heart almost stopped beating.
"Wait...Little White Lotus?"
There was incredible surprise and excitement in her voice, and her whole body was trembling with this unexpected discovery.
Bingxue Camellia keenly noticed the figure of her niece and immediately realized that this disaster beast was not an enemy, but a mount that carried the exploration team members back safely.
She hurriedly waved to the Frost Covenant members around her, stopping them from preparing for the attack.
"Everyone, stop! Don't act rashly!"
There was obvious excitement and excitement in the voice of Bingxue Camellia.
But at the same time, we must also maintain necessary caution.
Following Ice and Snow Camellia's order, all the Frost Covenant members who were preparing to attack stopped what they were doing and instead watched the landing giant disaster beast with a vigilant attitude.
After a while, the feathered disaster beast finally landed slowly on the open space in front of the temporary command post.
It carefully folded its huge wings and then lay quietly on the ground, behaving unusually docile and cooperative.
Immediately afterwards, the members of the exploration team led by Xiao Bailian began to get off the back of the disaster beast one after another.
Their movements seemed a little tired, but overall they looked safe, with no obvious injuries or signs of danger.
Seeing Xiao Bailian appear in front of her safely, Bingxue Camellia could no longer control her inner excitement.
She almost sprinted towards Xiao Bailian who had just come down, then opened her arms without hesitation and hugged tightly the niece who had made her worry for more than ten hours.
Bingxue Camellia first squatted down, looked left and right, and carefully checked whether Xiao Bailian had any injuries.
After confirming that there were no obvious external injuries, she stood up again and hugged Xiao Bailian tightly again, as if she was afraid that she would disappear again.
"Lianlian, are you okay?"
"Why haven't you come back for so long?"
Her tone was full of blame.
"Do you know that your aunt is almost dying of worry?"
Bingxue Camellia hugged Xiao Bailian tightly, as if she wanted to release all the worries and fears that had accumulated over the past ten hours through this hug.
However, Xiao Bailian, who was hugged tightly, felt a little difficult to breathe.
Bingxue Camellia's overly excited hug made her feel a little stuffy and breathing became a little difficult.
"Huh...I can't breathe."
Xiao Bailian said in a somewhat weak voice, trying to break free from the overly enthusiastic hug.
"Let me go, I'm fine."
There was a hint of disgust and helplessness in her tone, and she was obviously not used to her aunt's excessive concern.
