“Boss, are you suggesting that thoseckeys will take the opportunity to attack us?” White Tiger raised an eyebrow.


    “I’m just concerned about that possibility,” Billy nodded slightly.


    “Damn, they dare!” Azure Dragon replied with a deep voice.


    “Elder Shepherd, Mr Hum, if anything happens, don’t wait for us. Lead everyone to leave here first,” Billy then looked at Ernest Shepherd and Otis Hum and gave them instructions.


    “Understood! Lord Dragon, rest assured, we will act ordingly!” Ernest Shepherd nodded in response.


    “Hmm!” Billy nodded and then looked at Casey and the five others. “Let’s go!”


    After speaking, he led the five of them towards the cave entrance.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    At the same time, ten people from both Northfortia and Aqundia followed suit.


    Princess Eligina of Aqundia unsurprisingly appeared in the group.


    Two minutester, the group of twenty-six people gradually entered the Ice Melting Cave.


    “What kind of ce is this? How can it have such a strong oppressive aura!” Bob spoke as they walked less than a hundred meters into the cave.


    The oppressive aura inside the cave far exceeded that at the entrance. Just this oppressive aura alone was enough to make it difficult for a Martial Arts War God-Emperor level cultivator to move forward.


    Some of the people from Northfortia and Aqundia who were Martial Arts Sovereign-Initial stage cultivators already had slightly ufortable expressions.


    “Stay focused, this ce shouldn’t be simple!” Casey’s face revealed a hint of seriousness.


    “Everyone stay close to me, don’t get separated!” Billy spoke up at the same time.


    “Understood!”


    “Commander Gardner, you haven’t forgotten about what happened in the Snow Dragon City a few days ago, have you?” At this moment, a man from Aqundia walked up to Billy’s group and spoke with a deep voice.


    “What? Do you want to avenge your young master?” Casey asked as he chimed in.


    “Actually, I admire you guys!” The man nced at Casey and continued speaking. “You know that the people from Northfortia won’t let things go, and we Aqundia won’t make peace with you either. But you guys only came in with six people. Do you think we won’t dare to attack you inside? Philbert Parker already mentioned that there are many unknown factors inside, and once you enter that cave entrance, everyone can only rely on their own luck!”


    “Fools, you can try if you want!” Azure Fang replied.


    “You’ll see soon enough!” The man smirked.


    “Jess, what are you doing?” Princess Eligina, who was not far away, saw the situation and furrowed her brows as she walked over.


    “Oh, I almost forgot. Our beautiful and lovely Princess Eligina seems to have a special affection for Commander Gardner, always defending him!” The man looked at Billy again. “But inside this ice cave, the people from Aqundia won’t listen to hermands! Alright, I’ve said enough. Good luck to you all!” After speaking, he turned and left.


    “I think you’re looking for death!” Ian raised his sword, ready to strike.


    “Ian!” Billy stopped him with amand.


    “Lord Dragon, I apologize on his behalf.” Eligina stepped forward and spoke to Billy.


    “Never mind.” Billy replied nonchntly. After a slight pause, he added, “You shouldn’t havee in, take care of yourself!”


    With that, Billy led Casey and the others forward. The group continued down the path, which had no forks at the moment, leading straight into the depths. The people from Aqundia and Northfortia walked briskly ahead, probably worried that someone might seize any treasures. Eligina followed at the back of the Aqundia group, asionally ncing back at Billy and the others.


    “There’s something wrong, be careful!” After walking for about four to five hundred meters, Billy frowned.


    “Boss, what’s wrong?” Stout asked.


    As soon as Stout finished speaking, a fierce beast’s roar echoed through the tunnel. In the next moment, twenty to thirty fierce beasts came running from the passage, their formation terrifying, causing ice chunks to constantly fall on both sides of the road. The size of the beasts varied, with the shortest being about 1. 5 meters tall and the tallest nearly three meters. They were pure white, with a horn on their heads and two fangs in their mouths, extremely intimidating. From their imposing presence, it could be felt that they were several times more ferocious than the pr snow leopards encountered before.


    “Be careful, it’s pr rhinoceroses, they are at least seventh-tier fierce beasts!” one of the Northfortia men in the front shouted loudly.


    ording to what Billy and the others had learned during this time, the ferocious animals in the Pr Domain could be categorized into fierce beasts, demonic beasts, spiritual beasts, and divine beasts based on their attack power. Each category was further divided into nine tiers, with the first tier being the weakest and the ninth tier being the strongest. Most animals seen under normal circumstances belonged to the category of fierce beasts. Furthermore, animals above the demonic beast level would condense a beast core in their bodies, which was very attractive to martial artists. The beast core was like a spiritual fruit, and it could greatly assist in cultivation. The higher the level of the demonic beast, the greater the assistance it provided.


    Before the Northfortia man finished speaking, he was sent flying by a pr rhinoceros over two meters tall, running at the front. After heavily falling to the ground, the man spewed a mouthful of blood andy on the ground lifelessly, unable to get up for a long time. He was a Second-rank Sovereign, yet he was directly crippled by the impact. The attacking power of this pr rhinoceros was evident.


    “Damn it!”


    Northfortia’s leader, Klein, roared furiously and drew a battle axe from his body, swinging it at the pr rhinoceros. Although the pr rhinoceros sensed the danger, it showed no intention of evading, roared, and charged at him. However, it was weaker in the face of a Half-Step Saint martial artist.


    A cold light shed, and the rhinoceros fell to the ground, its head rolling several meters away, blood spurting out. Seeing this scene, the other twenty-something pr rhinoceroses charged toward the Northfortia group like mad.


    “Let’s attack together and exterminate them!” a man named Jess from Aqundia shouted loudly.


    In the next moment, a fierce battle erupted on the scene. Even the weakest of these pr rhinoceroses could contend with a First-rank Sovereign, and the strongest among them could withstand the attacks of a Sixth-rank Sovereign.


    “These fierce beasts are quite unexpected!” Bob couldn’t help but exim as he watched the battlefield ahead.


    “We don’t even know what level of fierce beasts wille next.” Azure Fang responded.


    “It’s safe to say that the strongest pr rhinoceros should be at least an Eighth-rank fierce beast, right?” Stout smacked his lips.


    “I’m afraid it’s more than that!” Bob shook his head.


    The few of them chatted casually, showing no intention of taking action. After about ten minutes, the battle in front finally ended. All the twenty-something pr rhinoceroses were killed, and the icy ground was dyed blood-red. Among the people from Northfortia and Aqundia, four or five men had minor injuries. The most tragic was the man who was initially sent flying, crushed into minced meat by the pr rhinoceros in the chaos.


    “You people from vale are really reckless, too busy watching the show!” One of the Northfortian men approached Billy and the others, his voice filled with anger.
