In the freezing continent of icy and snowy land, Green and his team continued to move forward steadily.

After the appearance of the frozen centipedes, they were no longer attacked by other monsters, but they came across a strange place on the way.

A large number of monsters showed their bodies, with the remaining halves buried in the ice and snow, frozen from the inside out.

From their postures before death, it seemed that they were engaged in a fierce battle.

Among the fighting monsters, there were obvious ones of the same race, as well as monsters from different races.

There were also the frozen centipede monsters that Green and the others had encountered before.

The group stayed in this strange area for a while because they confirmed that these monsters had no signs of life, and Green assured them that it was safe, so they were confident.

After observing for a while, the group did not gain any useful information.

From the frozen postures of these monsters, the only thing that could be determined was that there had been a battle between the monsters here.

"These monsters all have wounds. Could it be that they couldn't withstand the temperature here due to their injuries, just like that frozen centipede?"

"But judging from the degree of freezing, they shouldn't have been dead for too long. If injuries alone caused the monsters to lose their ability to resist, then these monsters wouldn't engage in battles so easily."

"That's right, the strength of the monsters here is very strong. With their intelligence, they would never engage in large-scale fighting. Otherwise, there would be no monsters left here long ago."

Someone approached a frozen monster and tried to shatter its frozen body, but found that these monsters became even harder instead of fragile.

"The shell is so hard. It should have grown in order to adapt to the environment here, like an insulation layer. But why is there no fur..."

After trying, the person said so, and at the same time remembered Green's attack that pierced through the frozen centipede's shell instantly, feeling a cold sweat down their back.

If such an attack hit a human, it would be even more disastrous than the fate of the frozen centipede.

Seeing that they couldn't find any useful information here, the group stayed for a while and then set off again, increasing their pace to quickly leave this dangerous place.

Green made a mental note of this suspicious place before leaving.

If the frozen centipede they encountered earlier was a deserter from this battle, it seemed to explain the earlier confusion, but Green's intuition told him that this matter was not that simple.

The area affected by this battle was large, and it took the group about half an hour to cross it at an accelerated pace.

Actually, they could have moved faster, but considering the unnecessary loss of stamina and Green's presence giving them confidence, there was no need to rush.

Indeed, this decision proved to be correct.

However, the confusion in Green's mind was getting stronger. As he spread out his perception and glanced roughly, the number of monsters dead here exceeded a thousand.

Thousands may be insignificant to humans, but it's different for monsters.

Even newly born monsters are much stronger than ordinary adult humans, but because of this, the number of monsters is almost negligible compared to humans.

Therefore, the number of monsters that died here is definitely not a small amount.

Such a large-scale battle cannot happen frequently, and with the intelligence of monsters far lower than the average human, it doesn't seem likely that they would engage in large-scale wars for certain reasons.

It should be that conflicts are resolved on the spot. So, such a gathering behavior is indeed strange.

The reality doesn't allow Green to pause and think slowly, and he cannot explain this mystery in a short time. But the purpose of this mission is not to study the habits of monsters, so after being puzzled for a moment, Green put this question aside.

The team continued to follow Sophia's radar and after an unknown period of time, they saw the dawn of success.

After a brief period of clear weather, the blizzard returned. The sunlight was blocked by clouds and snowflakes, making the snow on the ground not too dazzling.

In front of the group at this moment, there was a deep pit with a diameter of hundreds of meters.

Looking inside, there were countless unknown openings that didn't lead anywhere in the depths where the blizzard couldn't reach. The space below was also very large, just like a naturally formed huge cave.

"The reaction of the Larglang stone is here."

In the image displayed on Sofia's instrument, two points have already overlapped.

The meaning of this sentence is also very obvious, that is, they must enter below in order to continue the mining operation of the Larglang stone, otherwise they can only return empty-handed.

At first, everyone had doubts about entering the deep pit. After all, it didn't look like a safe place, and someone accidentally saw creatures resembling monsters moving inside.

But Green, while the others were discussing, jumped down without saying a word and landed safely below.

At first glance, it seemed like a fearless act, but the one doing it was Green.

This action gradually boosted the courage of the team. One by one, they followed Green and jumped down. Eventually, the remaining hesitant members of the team also jumped in one after another.

In the end, the whole team regrouped.

Sophia was very satisfied with this result, which proved that she hadn't misjudged the people.

If it were someone else, they might have retreated in a place like that just now.

Although some people saw traces of monsters just now, they were not completely helpless. Even though Green's presence was their biggest confidence, they were not just idle either.

"It's much warmer here than outside. Everyone can put on their 'defensive clothing'."

Different from cold-proof clothing, defensive clothing, as the name suggests, is clothing that can withstand powerful impacts. Wearing it doesn't mean they won't die, but it's better than nothing.

In addition, the clothing prepared by Sofia also included clothes resistant to high temperatures and various other environments.

However, Green noticed that when these people put on the defensive clothing, the expressions on their faces visibly relaxed. But the scenes in his perception told him that it shouldn't be this way.

So Green spoke up and reminded them, "I suggest you stay fully alert. It's many times more dangerous here than above."

"Uh...really? I thought you were sure it was safe here before you came down..."

Green didn't say anything more, and the others didn't dare to slack off after seeing this. After all, even Green said so, indicating that the environment here was indeed very dangerous, and a small mistake could lead to death.

In this situation, the mages in the team extinguished the fireballs that were used for warmth and replaced them with colorful magic arrays.

Maintaining these magic arrays didn't consume too much magic power, but it required great mental and concentration skills. And this was a situation that required extreme focus.

Once an enemy appeared, these magic arrays could release magic with almost zero delay, inflicting severe damage on the enemy.

Green didn't stop them from doing so.

As soon as he entered this area, Green sensed a large number of hostile auras, and after releasing his perception, he could guess that this might be the nesting ground of some monsters.

The number of monsters here was no less than those at the "War Remnants" before.

Fight could break out at any moment, so it was natural to be vigilant.

"Sofia, where should we go next?"

"My instrument can only reach this level of accuracy. The Larglang stone should be nearby, either below us or above us. Anyway, we can only explore around here from now on."

After hearing this, Green frowned.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly. After all, Sofia's words meant that they had to explore this completely unknown and dangerous place, which was very risky.

After a while, Green shook his head. "This won't work. The efficiency is too low, and it's also very dangerous."

"What should we do then..."

"Let me see your detector."

After hesitating for a moment, Sofia handed the detector to Green. Just when she was curious about what Green wanted to do, she saw Green pull out a stone tablet from somewhere.

Sofia recognized the material of the stone tablet at a glance. It was made by Larglang forging, like an identification tablet within the association.

"What do you want this for?"

"Tell me the principle of your instrument in a little more detail."

"Huh...?"

Green's expression was serious, without any hint of joking, and Sofia didn't ask further questions. She explained in detail the thinking behind her development of the detector to Green.

Green listened attentively, occasionally nodding his head.

According to Sophia's words, this device can amplify the signal emitted by the Largrangian stone installed inside it to resonate with other Largrangian stones. However, if the detected Largrangian stone has a low quality and emits a weak signal, its specific location cannot be detected.

In other words, if it can be detected, it means that its mass and volume are very large.

The most important thing for detecting the location is the resonance produced by the collision of the signals. After understanding the basic principle, Green wanted to capture the characteristics of this signal and turn himself into a precise Largrangian stone detector.

When Sophia heard Green express this idea, her face was full of doubts.

"It is impossible for humans to sense the unique signal of Largrangian stones. No matter how powerful a magician is, it is impossible. Otherwise, why do you think I made this thing?"

"You won't know until you try."

Green smiled faintly and pressed the button, and the device emitted a signal, and the screen refreshed again.

Green entered a state of extreme concentration to feel the unique aura of the Largrangian stone.

In fact, Green had discovered the special nature of Largrangian stones before, but they had to be very close, even holding them in their hand and focusing attention to perceive them.

But in Green's view, capturing the characteristics of Largrangian stones was not difficult.

In a highly concentrated state of mind, Green released his perception and entered that wonderful state again, where everything in the world was revealed without reservation.

The monsters secretly observed around, the trembling people behind, and the stone tablet and detection device in Green's hand.

After an unknown amount of time, in the endless darkness, a beam of light suddenly appeared. It passed through countless obstacles and extended in a certain direction.

Green suddenly opened his eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his pupils.

"Follow me."
