"Well……"
The town's armed mercenaries and Eskimos watched in a daze as the three polar bears disappeared into the distance.
"I really don't understand..." an Eskimo woman muttered in bewilderment. "In the past, these big guys would always eat until they were stuffed, their bellies bulging, before they would leave satisfied... This time, they've been behaving themselves. Hopefully, they won't bother the town again before hibernation!"
The arrival and departure of the polar bears were merely a side note for the small town. After they left, life in the town continued as usual.
The Inuit people began to enjoy the fruits of their day's hunt, eating their evening meal. The laborers worked diligently. Finally, at 8 p.m. local time, all the cargo from the airport had been moved to the dock. The expedition team only needed to transfer the cargo to the cargo ship the next day, and then they could officially embark on their Arctic adventure.
Exhausted from a long day's work, the laborers ate a quick dinner and then settled into the warmth of their hotel room for a deep sleep. A grueling day of work awaited them the next day.
Gao Jianfei and his companions were perhaps among the most relaxed and carefree of the many laborers. They hauled goods by sled. After finishing their work, they enjoyed a pleasant dinner of sashimi and some fine wine brewed by the Inuit, before checking into the same hotel they had stayed at the previous night.
Eight loyal huskies were squatting outside the house.
Gao Jianfei chatted casually with the women in the room for a while. When the women became sleepy, undressed, and went to sleep, Gao Jianfei slowly walked out of the inn.
He walked out of the town.
The town was unusually quiet, with neither Eskimos wandering around outside nor armed mercenaries from Blank's men patrolling.
Gao Jianfei left the town alone, walked a kilometer on the hard ice road, and then turned around an iceberg. At this moment, he saw three huge, upright-walking creatures walking directly towards him.
"Xiao Gao!"
Gao Jianfei received a telepathic message from the ghost in his mind.
It's those three polar bears!
Chapter 483 Entering the Arctic!
Chapter 483 Entering the Arctic!
Under the starlight and moonlight, three extremely powerful polar bears stood upright beside Gao Jianfei, like three giant men, utterly loyal.
"Wait, I'm trying to put you into a special space. From today onwards, that will be your home! Uh... I'm going to take you with me everywhere!" Gao Jianfei smiled, and then released three spots of light, covering the three polar bears!
"receive!"
Gao Jianfei immediately activated the animal containment function, and in the next moment, beautiful ripples began to emanate from the bodies of the three polar bears, shimmering and sparkling. Soon after, the three enormous polar bears miraculously vanished from their spot!
"Dear user, you have successfully taken in 3 animals in the Ghost Nest space. Today, you can take in 7 more animals!" the intelligent program's sweet voice said.
With a thought, Gao Jianfei flashed into the Ghost Den. On the first floor, Gao Jianfei pushed open the door… On the vast grassland inside, three polar bears roamed freely, letting out sharp howls. They had successfully entered Gao Jianfei's private space from the real world!
"It's very easy to operate!" Gao Jianfei snapped his fingers, and a polar bear squatted down, letting Gao Jianfei sit on its shoulder. It carried Gao Jianfei steadily towards the glacier at the far end of the grassland.
Although these three polar bears are possessed by Level 1 demons, they not only inherited the wisdom of the Level 1 demons in their previous lives, but also inevitably incorporated some of the polar bears' own characteristics. Therefore, they also prefer areas with relatively cold climates.
As he walked, Gao Jianfei let out a comfortable sigh.
This space offers ample sunshine, a warm climate, lush green grasslands, and the refreshing scent of leaves from distant mountains—a world apart from the harsh, icy Arctic environment outside.
"Heh, if only I could take Sakura and the others into this space, so they wouldn't have to travel so much and suffer from the bitter cold anymore, how wonderful that would be?" Gao Jianfei sighed and thought.
Before long, the three polar bears started running!
They were very fast, and Gao Jianfei, sitting on the back of one of the polar bears, did not feel any bumps.
"Haha! Not bad! Try running at high speed!" Gao Jianfei got excited and gave the order. And so, the three polar bears, using their maximum speed, began to sprint!
"call out!"
Polar bears are already faster than the world's 100-meter champion, and after their genes are optimized eightfold, they become even faster!
To be fair, that speed was comparable to Gao Jianfei using his full lightness skill!
Like a car speeding by!
"That was awesome!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed with high spirits, thoroughly enjoying himself.
They sped along, arriving at the foot of a massive glacier. The stream teemed with fish. Of course, there were no cold-resistant animals like seals or penguins, only fish. Perhaps, for the Super Ghost Instrument's system, fish weren't considered animals; hence, the stream within the space teemed with them.
Three polar bears began happily catching fish and devouring them.
Gao Jianfei jumped down from the polar bear's shoulder. He chose a rock to sit on, lit a cigarette, and asked while smoking, "By the way, are there only three polar bears around here? Are there any extras?"
Gao Jianfei's eyes burned with fervor. Having witnessed the terrifying speed of the mutated polar bears, he now held a deep affection for them. He vowed to turn every polar bear in the Arctic into pets and store them in his Ghost Den space! Then, he would return to America and teach the American military a lesson! And of course, the Holy Land too! The thought of driving and controlling his polar bear army, forcing the Holy Land's forces to flee in despair, filled Gao Jianfei with exhilaration!
"Huff~ huff..." After swallowing a live fish, a polar bear smacked its lips and said, "Xiao Gao, there is a polar bear family nearby. We are three polar bears, the adult males of this family, and the family's habitat. There are also four female polar bears, three cubs, and two older male polar bears."
"Haha! A whole family of bears?" Gao Jianfei was overjoyed... "Four strong females, three cubs, and two old ones... Not bad, not bad at all! That makes nine in total! No, I have to go and capture all nine polar bears right now!"
"Take me to your family's residence immediately!" Gao Jianfei said decisively.
"No problem, my respected Xiao Gao," the polar bears replied telepathically.
Immediately, Gao Jianfei led the three polar bears out of the ghost den, then sat on the back of one of the larger polar bears, letting the three polar bears carry him, and began walking on the glacier.
Of course, on glaciers, polar bears can only "feel their way across" and move slowly; they absolutely cannot run at full speed.
After walking about 3 or 4 kilometers, Gao Jianfei was shocked to see two bear cubs playing on a floating ice floe; another bear cub was swimming in the glacier with several adult polar bears. On the other side of the bank, several adult polar bears were gnawing on the carcass of a seal, a very bloody scene.
There were 9 polar bears in total! 3 cubs and 6 adult bears!
Gao Jianfei spotted them, and they spotted him too! So, they all glared at him with hostility, their eyes filled with the anger of someone whose territory had been invaded.
However, the three male polar bears that Gao Jianfei had tamed immediately took a few steps forward and let out the unique roar of polar bears.
Without thinking twice, Gao Jianfei released nine light spots to perform data detection on the nine polar bears...
One bear requires 2000 exorcism points;
A mature female bear requires 3500 exorcism points to produce one.
An elderly polar bear requires 3000 exorcism points to produce one.
In other words, if all nine polar bears were to possess the spirit, a total of 26,000 exorcism points would be needed.
Gao Jianfei didn't hesitate to use his exorcism points, releasing nine level 1 ghosts to possess him!
Nine light spots were directly integrated into the brains of nine polar bears!
The nine polar bears began to struggle in agony! They clutched their heads and let out mournful howls!
The possession process lasted for 2 minutes. In the end, the possession of one old polar bear and one young polar bear failed! The two polar bears fell to the ground and died, and the level 1 ghost used to possess them also vanished and disappeared.
Fortunately, the remaining seven polar bears managed to possess the spirit.
"Xiao Gao! Hello! Thank you for giving us a second life!" Seven voices rang in Gao Jianfei's mind.
Gao Jianfei cursed his bad luck, thinking that he had lost two polar bears due to the failed possession. What a pity.
At this moment, the intelligent program's voice explained to Gao Jianfei, "Dear user, what you currently possess is the intermediate-level ghost possession function. The failure rate for possessing animals is extremely low! However, when you possess a large animal, there is inevitably a certain possibility of failure, but of course, this probability is very low! The two possession failures just now were definitely special cases, and you don't need to worry at all. In the future, the possibility of encountering such failures is still very small."
"Phew... Okay, I understand!" Gao Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief, then ordered the seven polar bears that had just possessed him to follow him back to Barrow Town.
So, Gao Jianfei rode on the back of a polar bear, leading the way, followed by nine polar bears, all of which had their genes enhanced eightfold. The situation was extremely bizarre.
After traveling several kilometers, before reaching the town of Barrow, Gao Jianfei jumped off his "mount" and put them all into the Ghost Den. Exactly 10, no more, no less.
Then, Gao Jianfei whistled as he returned to the town.
As Gao Jianfei reached the entrance to the town, a sudden sense of foreboding welled up within him…
"stop!"
With a cold snort, four armed mercenaries emerged from behind a stone house, staring sternly at Gao Jianfei.
"Fuck! I got up to check earlier and saw a figure leaving town through the window. Judging by his clothes, he looked like a laborer from our expedition team, not an Eskimo. I staked out the area for hours, and sure enough... Listen to me, you better behave! Tell me! What kind of spy are you, infiltrating our expedition team?" A mercenary with a gun pointed directly at Gao Jianfei with the dark muzzle of his weapon. His eyes were filled with accusation. "Hands up, you bastard!"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei slowly raised his hand, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the four mercenaries. He noticed that two of them were related to the level 4 mission he had accepted—they were the targets he was supposed to hunt down!
"Oh, I'm just taking a stroll outside the town. You see, staying in the town isn't a very pleasant thing," Gao Jianfei explained with a smile. Meanwhile, he had already been observing the situation in the town.
Apart from these four armed mercenaries, there was no other movement in the town.
"Alright! Kill them!" With a thought, Gao Jianfei suddenly summoned four polar bears that appeared directly behind the four armed mercenaries!
A huge shadow fell over the four armed mercenaries!
These mercenaries, who had spent years walking on the edge of death, instantly sensed the scent of death!
Before they could even turn around, four giant polar bear paws swung out... "Thud!" Four muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously!
The heads of the four mercenaries had been smashed into powder!
Besides killing four elite soldiers under Blanc, Gao Jianfei needs to eliminate 31 ordinary mercenaries to guarantee 36 experience points. He has already killed two ordinary mercenaries, leaving 29! Gao Jianfei will seize the opportunity to kill them one by one.
After instantly killing four mercenaries, Gao Jianfei threw their corpses into the Ghost Den and then captured four polar bears. He then used snow to clean up the bloodstains at the scene.
After finishing all this, Gao Jianfei used his lightness skill to leave footprints on the snow in the town, circled around, and then returned to his hotel.
Gao Jianfei, who had acquired 10 mutated polar bears, had a good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, they were awakened from their sleep by Blanc's mercenaries.
Gao Jianfei quickly led Li Yun and the other women, dressed them, and left the hotel.
Gao Jianfei also brought those eight huskies with him.
While collecting breakfast, Gao Jianfei noticed that Blank and his seven elite men were frowning and talking in hushed tones, their expressions extremely grim. The ordinary armed mercenaries also looked indignant. Clearly, they already knew that four ordinary mercenaries had mysteriously disappeared.
However, time seemed to be very tight. Instead of specifically investigating the murderer, Blank told the laborers to finish their breakfast quickly and then gather at the dock.
After breakfast, Gao Jianfei, along with eight huskies, Li Yun, Song Ying, and other women, mingled with hundreds of laborers and arrived at the dock.
Dozens of tons of equipment and supplies were piled up at the dock, and several large passenger ships were moored at the dock.
"We're about to enter the Arctic!" Gao Jianfei took a deep breath.
An unknown journey is about to begin!
Chapter 484 Captain Mario
Chapter 484 Captain Mario
Several large cargo ships were docked at the pier. Each ship was equipped with professional sailors in sailor suits and a captain.
The captain and sailors seemed very familiar with Blank and his men. They laughed heartily, disembarked warmly, and embraced Blank and his armed mercenaries, chatting and patting each other on the shoulder. It seemed that this research team and these ships had a long-standing and positive cooperative relationship.
The laborers continued their work, loading large quantities of goods onto the cargo ships, sorting them by type.
Gao Jianfei blended seamlessly into the ranks of the laborers, moving goods while occasionally glancing at Blank and his group out of the corner of his eye. Incidentally, Gao Jianfei also released a group of Level 1 Ghosts to monitor and eavesdrop on Blank and the captains. Furthermore, Gao Jianfei paid attention to several of Blank's elite subordinates whom he was about to hunt down. They were full of vigor, completely unaware that death was already looming over them! A mocking smile curled at the corner of Gao Jianfei's lips. In his mind, he had already sentenced his targets to death. Now, it was just a matter of when to strike. Of course, Gao Jianfei wouldn't mind joining Blank's research team into the Arctic. That would also be a very meaningful adventure for Gao Jianfei…
Seeking refuge, upgrading, capturing polar bears, and... the 'Viking treasure' that Blank mentioned.
With the comprehensive monitoring of the Level 1 Ghost, Gao Jianfei was naturally fully aware of the actions of Blank and his group. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Gao Jianfei controlled the entire situation and was a master strategist.
