Ice-Cold Female Fiend
The Silver-Haired Elder continued, "This gang of bandits isn't a loose organization, but rather an organized, disciplined, and powerful group. 😎🐨 ♢🐻 The members are ranked according to their strength, and this difference in rank is reflected in their Identity Token. Your mission is to kill a common bandit. Their next task is to deal with higher-ranking bandits, and even the bandit leader."
"Besides the Identity Token, are there any other external characteristics that indicate the status of these bandits?" Sean asked.
"According to intelligence, there shouldn't be any. So you'll have to judge for yourselves," the Silver-Haired Elder said with a smile.
Hearing the Silver-Haired Elder's irresponsible answer, everyone present couldn't help but curse him inwardly, but no one dared to openly refute him.
Based on the information provided by the people at Fiend Castle, Lin Feng and his companions deduced that the ordinary bandits were likely at the level of Midgod, while the higher-ranking bandits were probably more powerful Midgod or even Highgod. After spending a full thirty-two days in the Metal Lifeform, they finally arrived at their destination.
"After you leave, just travel a few miles south and you will find the Keka Mountains."
The Silver-Haired Elder spoke loudly from the rear cabin, "This is not Hongye City. Life and War-Knife can break out at any moment. Everyone be careful. We will wait for you here. Whoever successfully obtains the Identity Token can return to the Metal Lifeform."
Everyone remained silent.
Everyone felt a sense of oppression!
A thousand people came to participate in the Fiend Assessment, but how many will actually return alive? The data from previous Fiend Assessment Fiend Assessment demonstrates the level of danger involved.
The Fiend Castle —since this mission was chosen as the assessment task, it's bound to be quite difficult.
"Everyone in the front cabin has disembarked, you can go down too!" the Silver-Haired Elder said indifferently. "By the way, let me give you a word of advice: be careful not only of the bandits in the Keka Mountains, but also of those who are also participating in the Fiend Assessment. I've seen many people survive the mission only to be killed by those taking the Fiend Assessment.
Lin Feng smiled calmly to himself.
I will not attack unless attacked; if attacked, I will kill.
This has always been Lin Feng's code of conduct.
And this "I" naturally includes Dilia and Beibei.
"Let's go." Lin Feng, Dilia, Beibei followed the crowd through the corridor and gradually walked outside. A group of people busily disembarked from the Metal Lifeform.
At this moment, on the vast land outside the Metal Lifeform, twenty or thirty Fiend were gathered.
"Everyone, you've come to participate in the Fiend Assessment, and so have we," a voice resounded in the minds of the thousand people, including Lin Feng. "However, we are different from you. Our mission is to kill the bandit leader. So, I hope you won't rush. You can make your move after we've killed the bandit leader."
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow. "Divine sense transmission covering everyone? It must cover a distance of at least nearly a thousand meters. It seems she has at least the strength of Six-Star Fiend, at least in terms of her soul."
It is very difficult for the divine to communicate in the Infernal Realm.
As the Supreme Plane, Infernal Realm's binding force is far greater than that of Material Plane like Yulan.
For an ordinary Highgod, having a divine sense that can cover several hundred meters is already considered quite good. For example, Dilia, Refine Divine Spark to become Highgod, because her soul had not been baptized by the Laws of the World, even though she was Highgod, the essence of her soul was somewhat different from that of someone who independently became Highgod, so her divine sense could only cover about four or five hundred meters.
Although Lin Feng had integrated four profound Mysteries in terms of the Laws of Earth, his cultivation level was too low, only at the Midgod. His divine sense could only cover six or seven hundred meters in the Infernal Realm, only slightly stronger Dilia's.
Lin Feng looked up and saw that the person who had just transmitted the message was a beautiful woman with long golden hair. However, her beautiful face was devoid of any emotion, and she seemed like a block of ice, exuding a cold aura.
"Sigh, another poor kid. Cultivating the Laws of Water Elements doesn't require turning yourself into an ice block. To cultivate to the point of losing all emotions is truly pathetic. My little Jenny is so much better. Although she also cultivates the Laws of Water Elements, she takes the gentle route, as gentle as water. If Jenny were to take the ice route, hehe, definitely not. With me here, even if she were a block of ice, I'd melt her."
Lin Feng's mind raced, feeling sorry for the icy woman before him. What a beautiful woman! Why did she become so cold? Of course, because of her words earlier, Lin Feng still had some goodwill towards her; at least she hadn't made them the vanguard, cannon fodder.
"Lin Feng, do you think she's pretty?" Dilia whispered in Lin Feng's Lin Feng in a sarcastic tone when she saw him glancing around.
Lin Feng didn't notice the odd tone in Dilia's voice and subconsciously replied, "Hmm, not bad, and uh, well, there's still a big gap between you and Jenny."
Lin Feng secretly wiped away a cold sweat, thankful that he had thought quickly, otherwise he would have had to endure Dilia's resentful glare again.
Although Dilia is very understanding, she can be a little jealous from time to time. But Lin Feng doesn't see this as a flaw. He's happy that a woman is jealous of him; he'd never blame her.
Dilia said softly, "Lin Feng, I feel increasingly unworthy of you. In just over a hundred years, you've cultivated five Divine Clone, while I'm merely Highgod Refine Divine Spark, and so is my sister Jenny. If you have a woman you fancy, I wouldn't mind if you married her too."
"Silly girl, what are you saying?" Lin Feng gently pulled Dilia into his arms and said softly, "How could you have such thoughts? I have you and Jenny, that's enough. Don't bring up similar topics again."
"Mmm!" Dilia nodded gently in Lin Feng, as obedient as a little rabbit. The joy and emotion in her eyes showed that she was very happy.
"Waaah, I can't stand it anymore." Beibei's voice rang in Lin Feng and Dilia's minds at the same time, "Boss, Dilia, you two should find a suitable place and a suitable time to be affectionate!"
Dilia, with her delicate skin, immediately left Lin Feng's embrace after being told off by Beibei. Her little face was flushed and rosy, making her look incredibly cute.
"Beibei, are you envious of me and Dilia because you're all alone?" Lin Feng was much thicker-skinned than Dilia, and instead of being embarrassed, he started talking about Beibei.
Upon hearing this, Beibei tilted her little head back and said with considerable pride, "I, Beibei, am all alone because I am too talented. It would be too difficult to find a beautiful mouse as talented as me." After saying this, she deliberately sighed.
Seeing Beibei laughing and joking, Dilia forgot her shyness, glanced at Sean who was not far away, and teased, "Beibei, I saw you chatting quite enthusiastically with Miss Sean on Metal Lifeform. Do you think she's a good match for you? Should I play matchmaker for you two?"
"Her?" Beibei glanced at Sean and shook her head immediately, saying, "She's not my type."
"Uh..." Dilia was somewhat taken aback, but Lin Feng understood what Beibei was thinking.
Beibei is quirky and clever, so naturally he'd prefer a wife who's also quirky and clever; that way, the two of them together would be a perfect pair of clowns. Just like Beibei's wife, Nisi, in the original book.
As for Sean, although she is a nice girl, she is clearly not the quirky type, so Beibei naturally wouldn't be interested in her.
"It seems necessary to arrange an encounter for Beibei and Nisi." Lin Feng calculated the time and secretly decided that after the Fiend Assessment, he would set off for Diyi City, and perhaps he could catch Salomon and Nisi passing through Diyi City.
Although Beibei said he didn't care, Lin Feng could occasionally see loneliness and desolation in Beibei's eyes. As his best brother who had been with him for over a hundred years, Lin Feng naturally didn't want to see Beibei unhappy.
While Lin Feng and his companions were talking, the twenty or thirty Fiend had already devised their attack plan and launched a surprise attack!
With the enemy outnumbering them several times over, it would be unwise to openly charge in.
Those who can cultivate to the level of a god are not fools, and those who can become Fiend are certainly not fools either. After a brief discussion, a specific attack plan was formulated.
More than twenty Fiend, either in groups of two or three, formed ten groups, each leading one hundred Midgod, and surrounded the Keka Mountains from all sides.
None of the thousand people who came to participate in the One-Star Fiend assessment objected to the plan devised by the Fiend. After all, they were weaker than the others and had no say, and the plan did not intend to use them as cannon fodder or pawns, so they naturally would not object. Moreover, with Fiend leading the way, they felt more courageous and more confident in completing the mission.
The expert worked swiftly and quickly completed the grouping: one thousand people were divided into ten teams of one hundred.
Although a thousand people is a lot, the Keka Mountains are vast, with countless peaks of varying heights stretching endlessly. Entering them, one is unlikely to be discovered.
Lin Feng's team was led by two Fiend, a man and a woman. The man wore a crimson-gold robe and had a buzz cut, but his beard was extremely thick, almost covering most of his face. Such a thick beard paired with a buzz cut was quite comical.
Of course, there are countless races in the Infernal Realm, and many of them come from different Material Plane. They are a mixed bag, and strange clothes are everywhere. There are monsters with horns on their heads, tails on their heads, and even several heads on their necks. Lin Feng's immunity has long reached the Grandmaster level. Compared to them, this hairy guy is considered normal.
As for this female Fiend, she was the same icy beauty who had previously sent them a telepathic message.
Led by the two Fiend, Lin Feng and his team cautiously made their way into the Keka Mountains.
Before long, several Midgod appeared in their line of sight. Judging from their wary appearance, they were clearly on guard.
Seeing the wary look in the eyes of these mid- Midgod, who showed no sign of relaxation, Lin Feng sighed inwardly, "It seems this mission won't be easy. Compared to them, the bandits that Beibei wiped out before were nothing more than a rabble of chickens and dogs."
"Dilia, Beibei, when the fight breaks out later, remember to protect yourselves and don't be reckless," Lin Feng solemnly instructed Beibei and Dilia telepathically.
Seeing Lin Feng's serious expression, Beibei and Dilia understood the gravity of the situation and nodded heavily.
