Chapter 192 North Continent

Including Hao Tian, Han Xiao had contacted several professional players in North Continent and sent out the missions.

The way to submit the missions was through communication. He gave the professional players his phone number and email address. Only after they completed the mission and sent all the details to him would it be considered as submitting the mission. This way, he could judge the mission based on his own standards. If there were any mission items that needed to be handed over to Hannes, he would have to personally take a plane to get them.

However, compared to doing it himself, it saved him too much time. He was commanding skilled players to help him do missions and reaping the benefits.

Among the professional players who came to accept the missions, there were many powerful figures from his previous life. Hao Tian was one of the best. Although Han Xiao was quite optimistic about Hao Tian, he had said that he would only look at him differently after he completed the mission, so he naturally would not be anxious.

In North Continent, Technician Han seized the time to run through the beginner villages, spending most of his time on the road. During this time, Han Xiao used the max-level \[Precise Strengthening Modification] to upgrade his equipment, slightly increasing his attributes. He also tried to manufacture the three pieces of equipment he had chosen, and the results were quite satisfactory.

The first time he manufactured them, the quality reached blue. After more practice, he would have the opportunity to reach purple equipment.

Level 19 players had already appeared on the level榜, and with Han Xiao's current efficiency, he could finish all the beginner villages in North Continent before the first player advanced.

As for the Andia Continent, Han Xiao felt that he was running out of time. However, he himself did not want to go to Andia, which was the Germinal Organization's base camp, a dangerous place. Moreover, the players had been forced to leave the beginner villages by the Germinal Organization, scattered in small groups. For him, the risks far outweighed the rewards.

At this time, on the Sea Blue Star section of the forums, the North Continent players were the happiest, while the Andia players were the second most excited. In their opinion, after Black Phantom finished North Continent, it would be their turn in Andia.

"This is very awkward." Han Xiao said helplessly.

…

The weather in North Continent was cold. Snowfields and ice mountains were the main terrain. Fine snow floated in the air, and the towering distant mountains were shrouded in clouds. The boundary line between the dark green mountains and the snow cover was clear.

The third beginner village was called Frostpine Town, located in a frozen forest valley. The white forest sea was home to fierce northern beasts.

The plane stopped outside the forest. Han Xiao trudged through the forest on his electromagnetic skates. Following the radar, he headed toward Frostpine Town. Distant roars of beasts occasionally rang out, reminding Han Xiao that North Continent had many wild beasts, including high-level ones.

"I remember there's an ice field where the Clawed Ice Bears are high-level monsters, between levels 53 and 56, and they're not elites or bosses. I can grind out the \[One Shot Kill] talent there," Han Xiao thought to himself.

That ice field was a bit far away. Han Xiao planned to go there after he finished the beginner villages.

Looking at the map, he discovered another thing: the Opherlymer family's territory was not far from Frostpine Town.

Before long, Frostpine Town came into view. Han Xiao steadied himself, slowed down, and walked over.

…

In the woods a hundred meters away from Frostpine Town, a dozen people sat in a circle, all wearing combat uniforms and carrying firearms and daggers, currently sorting out their equipment.

They were an Opherlymer combat squad, ordered to capture some Heteromorphs in Frostpine Town and take them back for research.

The leader, Keaton, had a fierce look on his face. He was chewing on a handmade cigar, cocked his rifle, and said gruffly, "Everyone knows the operation plan, don't screw up later!"

"Don't worry, just a bunch of Heteromorphs, easy peasy."

"If they dare to resist…" Keaton patted the grenade on his waist, "Don't be stingy with these little toys, blow them into charcoal."

The crowd laughed.

"Also, these Heteromorphs look no different from normal people, don't catch the wrong people." Keaton looked at his watch, called everyone to get up, and said, "Sort out your equipment, and act according to my gestures."

At this moment, a figure walked past on the path outside the woods. One of the members pointed and whispered, "Captain, there's a passerby over there, I wonder if he's a Heteromorph?"

"Probably, this forest has a lot of wild beasts, only Heteromorphs would act alone."

"If we catch this loner, we'll complete the mission."

The crowd was eager to try.

But after waiting for a few seconds, everyone found that the captain did not respond. Looking back, they were all shocked.

The originally fierce-looking Keaton was now pale with fright, his lips trembling unnaturally, and his cigar had fallen to the ground.

"What's wrong?" One of the members asked, puzzled.

Keaton's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and he said hastily, "The plan is canceled, leave here immediately!"

"Why?" Everyone looked surprised.

"That's not a Heteromorph!" Keaton said anxiously, "He, he's Black Phantom! He had a conflict with the family some time ago!"

Black Phantom!

The crowd was shocked and looked at the road to confirm, but found that the road was empty, and the figure had disappeared.

Then, they heard a strange voice, coming from behind them.

"I seem to have heard you calling me."

Everyone's bodies suddenly froze, and they mechanically turned around. A black-clothed figure was standing behind Keaton, looking at them curiously.

A chill ran through their hearts.

Keaton was terrified. He didn't notice how Han Xiao got behind him. The voice just now was like a thunderclap to him, scaring his heart. Even though it was so cold, he was sweating nervously.

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows. He had sensed the presence of people here from a distance. These armed men seemed so nervous in front of him, probably because they knew his identity and had malicious intentions.

"Are you going to tell me yourselves, or should I help you open your mouths? You can also try lying." Han Xiao hooked his fingers, and seven scattered blades suddenly flew out of the pockets on his waist and legs, floating in the air, aiming at various vital points on Keaton's body.

Composite Magnetic Chain Splitting Blades, blue quality, attack power 34~92, Esper armed, the slashing power of the blades depends on the amount of strength transferred, can form various weapon shapes, attack speed is particularly high. The equipment comes with the skill \[Surround Cut], all the blades circulate and cut like a juggler's balls, can cause high-speed multiple damage, is considered a melee weapon before level sixty.

In the eyes of the players, this thing can be regarded as an early artifact. Han Xiao spent millions of experience points to gamble this blueprint out.

The cold light hanging in front of him made Keaton's scalp tingle. He hastily explained the identity and mission of the team, not daring to hide anything.

So they were people from Opherlymer. Han Xiao's eyes flashed. After thinking for a while, he knew why these people were afraid of him. Last time in Green Valley Town, he helped Lu Cheng attack Opherlymer's territory, forming a feud with Opherlymer, but he saw rumors on the dark web that Opherlymer was going to retaliate against Lu Cheng, but didn't mention him at all.

"I should be their enemy… Are they wary of me?"

Han Xiao suddenly became interested, took back the Magnetic Chain Splitting Blades, and said lightly, "Go back and tell your leader, I will visit soon."

Keaton's tense nerves relaxed, and he didn't dare to turn his head to look at Han Xiao. He hurriedly ran away, and his team members quickly followed.

After running for hundreds of meters, the panting Keaton stopped, turned back to confirm that Black Phantom hadn't chased after him, and then breathed a long sigh of relief. He was covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water, and his heart was still beating violently.

"Captain, what do we do?" Everyone's faces were still filled with fear.

"Go back and tell the masters about this." Keaton swallowed.

…

"Black Phantom has come to North Continent and wants to 'visit' us?!"

Opherlymer's big boss, Dello, widened his eyes, like an angry bear, and shouted, "We didn't look for him to settle the score, but he dares to come to our door first, he doesn't take us seriously at all. I want to kill him!"

The third boss, Surge, was a Sanu, with dark brown skin and a burly build. He said in a muffled voice, "Don't be impulsive. He's not easy to deal with. He dares to come to our door alone, he must have something to rely on."

Dello glared over, "Xiao Jin, what's your opinion?"

Xiao Jin adjusted his monocle and said lightly, "He just said he's visiting. If he wanted to deal with us, he wouldn't need to say hello. We might as well contact him first to see his attitude. Maybe Black Phantom doesn't intend to attack."

Dello frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'll meet him in person and see how he explains killing our people!"
