The fleet continued its journey.
On the ship, Gao Jianfei did not take any extra actions. On one hand, he waited for the exorcism point to slowly recover, and on the other hand, he used the starlight, moonlight, and the ship's searchlight to observe the situation outside.
As the fleet ventured deeper, it had now entered the glacial region. Along the way, besides the intricate branching of glaciers, there were icebergs of varying heights and massive ice blocks suspended above the glaciers. When the fleet first entered the Arctic, Gao Jianfei could still see other adventure teams' ships sailing near the 'Giant Whale Fleet' through the ship's window. Now, the 'Giant Whale Fleet' had clearly penetrated deep into the Arctic; no other ships were visible in the nearby waterways! Looking at the countless branching glacial channels, Gao Jianfei knew that most fleets dared not enter this area, otherwise they would directly get lost and be trapped in the Arctic forever!
"Hoo..." Gao Jianfei took a deep breath. "I hope this Arctic trip goes smoothly! Also, I can't kill Blank and Mario, otherwise, who will take me out of the Arctic?"
After another three days of sailing, finally, another huge Iceland appeared ahead!
The fleet slowly approached the shore.
Gao Jianfei felt a sense of unease... "Could this be 'Cocoyasi Island,' where Mario might make a move?"
Looking around, the island is several times larger than the town of Barrow and the 'Kester Island' we arrived at a few days ago!
The island has a few green plants, but mostly towering icebergs.
Gao Jianfei didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately released a group of level 1 ghosts to scout the island.
The ship then docked, and some of Mario's sailors jumped ashore. Mario smiled and said to Blank, "Blanc, my good friend, this is 'Cocoyasi Island.' There are no more islands this big ahead. We expect to sail on the glacier for about eight days before reaching the next island. So, let's rest for a few hours on 'Cocoyasi Island'! This long voyage is really unbearable!"
After saying that, Mario was the first to land.
Blank stood on the deck, his gaze fixed on Mario's back. The muscles in his face began to twitch, and a faint hint of unease appeared in his eyes.
Blank did not rush to land.
"Doctor, do you suspect that Mario will make his move here?" 'One-Eyed' Baroche asked warily.
Blank remained silent, clearly unsure.
"Don't worry, Doctor. With us here, that bastard Mario can't hurt you!" Fox, one of the twin brothers, assured him confidently.
“Yes, Doctor, please trust our abilities. Besides, Mario’s sailors are no match for our team of professional mercenaries. Their weapons and equipment are also extremely low-end!” Nicole said indifferently.
Blank glanced back at his seven trusted men, his expression relaxing. "Yes, I have no reason to be afraid of Mario!"
After a pause, Blank commanded, "Let the laborers land first!"
So, the first to land were Mario's sailors; then the gunmen and mercenaries drove the laborers away; then came the gunmen and mercenaries; and finally, Blanc, who was surrounded and protected by seven elite men.
Gao Jianfei, Li Yun, and other women also landed.
"Everyone be careful!" Gao Jianfei warned in a serious low voice.
At this moment, a group of level 1 ghosts drifted back to Gao Jianfei's side. "Respected Xiao Gao, there are a large number of sailors lying in ambush on this island! The number is estimated to be close to 1,000!"
"Huh?" Gao Jianfei's heart tightened. "As expected! A bloody battle is about to take place here!"

Chapter 486 Advancement to Level 5 Exorcist
The fleet has finally arrived at 'Cocos Island'!
Strictly speaking, 'Kekexi Island' does not have any official name. It is called 'Kekexi Island' by Arctic adventurers.
Because Cocos Island is located deep in the Arctic, it does not belong to any country. Simply put, it is a wild, isolated island in Iceland.
Even basic supplies cannot be guaranteed here! There are no shops, no buildings, only huge icebergs and scattered, messy plants.
Normally, adventure teams and fleets would only take a basic rest and pause here.
Now, under the protection of seven elite bodyguards, Blanc has finally landed. Blanc's armed mercenary group, along with hundreds of laborers, also gradually disembarked. Indeed, a long voyage on an icy river can cause mental exhaustion. Now, with peace of mind after landing, they can take a short rest.
The laborers easily found places to sit down.
Blank cautiously surveyed his surroundings, signaling to all the armed mercenaries to be extra vigilant.
Blank also sensed that something was wrong.
By this time, Gao Jianfei had already determined through his Level 1 Ghost reconnaissance that a skirmish was about to take place on the island. There were over 1000 sailors lying in ambush on the island!
"Sister Li Yun, wait a minute, there will be a fierce battle on the island. Someone has set up an ambush here to attack Blanke's research team. Remember, as soon as the battle starts, you and Cuiyun, protect Xiaoying and hide in the cabin! Remember, don't waste any time, get in there immediately! Leave the rest to me." Gao Jianfei solemnly instructed the young woman Li Yun. He knew that Li Yun and her fellow Emei Sect martial arts practitioners would have no problem protecting themselves in a gunfight.
After a brief moment of tension, Li Yun calmed down. She wasn't some naive newcomer. She nodded cautiously and said, "Jianfei, I understand. Don't worry, I will protect Xiaoying's safety. However, you should also be careful and not overconfident."
Gao Jianfei nodded. He and Li Yun exchanged a knowing glance. Li Yun then deliberately beckoned to one of her junior sisters to gently pull Song Ying aside. Li Yun also carefully explained the current situation to her junior sister and disciples.
After settling the women in, Gao Jianfei calmly sat down on an ice rock, took out a cigarette from his pocket, carefully lit it, and began to smoke it with relish.
To be honest, the only beneficiary of the battle between Blanc and Mario is Gao Jianfei! On one hand, Gao Jianfei needs to eliminate several of Blanc's elite men and some of his gunmen to complete the mission he has taken on; on the other hand, Gao Jianfei also needs to capture some sailors to take him on an expedition deep into the Arctic to search for the lost Viking civilization.
Under Gao Jianfei's observation, he easily noticed that the sailors under Mario's command all looked rather strange. Some were looking around furtively, while others had shifty eyes. Moreover, their eyes were bloodshot with excitement.
Looking at Nicole, Fox, and Falk, Gao Jianfei, through his Level 1 Ghost reconnaissance, already knew that these three had long since betrayed Blank. They had even told Mario the secret of the Viking treasure, hoping to incite a battle between the two sides and profit from it. At this moment, although Nicole, Fox, and Falk maintained a relatively calm expression, a restless glint still flickered in their eyes.
Just as Gao Jianfei finished his cigarette, he suddenly noticed an unintentional exchange of glances between Mario and Nicole!
Then, Mario stood up without making a sound.
Nicole's body began to subtly approach Blank; Fox slowly approached "One-Eyed" Baroche; and Fokker approached the burly man who had spoken through a megaphone that day and actively recruited Gao Jianfei.
"Are they going to make their move?"
Gao Jianfei also stood up. After giving Li Yun a wink, Gao Jianfei took a small step towards Blank, preparing to sprint.
The atmosphere was extremely tense! Like a taut bowstring!
Suddenly!
"Bang!"
A gunshot shattered the silence of the deserted island! A gunman was shot in the forehead and fell to the ground dead without explanation!
At that moment, Captain Mario roared fiercely, "Guys, get to work!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of rifle shots rang out from behind an iceberg, and more than a dozen of Blank's laborers and armed mercenaries fell instantly!
The armed mercenaries were all well-trained professional soldiers. When the second wave of gunfire rang out, they had already begun to lie down to avoid the enemy's fire, and then tentatively returned fire towards the enemy's hiding place!
The laborers, however, had absolutely no ability to react. More than a dozen laborers were already lying in pools of blood! The remaining hundreds of laborers, like frightened rabbits, screamed in despair and scattered in all directions like ants on a hot pan.
At the same time, Li Yun and Zheng Cuiyun pulled Song Ying along and used their lightness skills to rush back to the cargo ship!
"Mario, you despicable bastard!" Blank roared angrily. "Baroche, Nicole, protect me!" He was both angry and anxious, and his voice was hoarse.
"Kill them! Kill them all!" Captain Mario drew a revolver and a knife from his waist and led his hundreds of sailors in a fight against the nearby armed mercenaries.
From behind the towering iceberg, thousands of menacing sailors, armed with weapons, suddenly emerged!
"Ambush! It's an ambush!" One-Eyed Barosh shouted fiercely. He lifted his fox fur coat, revealing a dense array of throwing knives inside... It turned out that beneath his coat were exquisite leather pouches, like belts, each containing a ring of small compartments for throwing knives. He took out a throwing knife in each hand, then with a flick of his wrists, "whoosh!" two sounds rang out, instantly killing two sailors. His technique and power in throwing knives were truly remarkable! Gao Jianfei could tell at a glance that this "One-Eyed" Barosh's ability to launch throwing knives was comparable to that of the blind Ke Zhen'e!
"Heh, he's still somewhat skilled, but... kill!" Gao Jianfei suddenly moved! He used his lightness skill to accelerate abruptly, flashing towards Blank like a ghost!
In a flash, Gao Jianfei dodged a bullet fired haphazardly at him, then twisted his body, grabbing an armed mercenary in each hand! These two mercenaries happened to be on Gao Jianfei's kill list. Without hesitation, Gao Jianfei used them as projectiles, hurling them towards Blank!
Meanwhile! Nicole has already made a move against Blank!
Nicole's weapon is a rose! Yes, a rose! This rose, the size of a hammer, is tucked at her waist, with metal thorns on its petals! This rose is undoubtedly crafted from metal, and its function is comparable to a spiked club!
With lightning speed, Nicole pointed the thorns of the rose in her hand directly at Blank's head and stabbed it!
This was completely unexpected, not only by Blank, but also by Baroš and his elite bodyguards!
But just as Nicole was about to succeed... "Boom!" "Boom!"
The bodies of the two armed mercenaries, whom Gao Jianfei used as hidden weapons, fell from the sky like human bombs, crashing directly towards Nicole and Fox!
Nicole reacted quickly, sensing the danger, she rolled away to avoid it; Fox, on the other hand, was a bit clumsy, he tried to dodge but failed! A gun-wielding mercenary's body slammed into Fox's head like a boulder!
It should be noted that the body of this armed mercenary was imbued with the internal energy infused by Gao Jianfei, weighing several hundred kilograms and possessing a force close to 1,000 kilograms! This smash directly turned Fox into a meat patty!
The mercenary's body, which missed Nicole, slammed to the ground and shattered into pieces!
"Roar!" After taking down several sailors with his throwing knives, Barosh realized Fox was dead, and he also realized that Nicole had just been about to ambush Blank. Immediately, Barosh let out a sharp cry, pulled out a throwing knife, and prepared to shoot at Nicole!
Taking advantage of this time, Gao Jianfei had successfully flashed to Blank's side!
"call out!"
Baroš decisively threw a flying knife at Nicole!
Gao Jianfei smiled and caught the flying knife with lightning speed. Then, he threw it backhand. With his powerful internal energy, the speed and power of the flying knife reached their peak, directly piercing Barosh's throat!
"Haha, let me kill this woman!" After killing Barosh, Gao Jianfei took a ghostly step to the side, stretched out his left hand, grabbed Nicole's throat, and pulled hard!
"Click!"
The crisp sound of her throat being crushed rang out. Nicole's head lolled to the side, her tongue lolled out, her body went limp, and she died instantly! This alluring and wanton woman had perished!
The moment Nicole was killed, the burly man who had been shouting through the megaphone earlier delivered a straight punch, as swift as thunder, straight at Gao Jianfei's chest!
Good heavens!
That straight punch must have been powerful enough to weigh over 500 jin! This burly man is indeed a strong and powerful fellow!
Gao Jianfei grinned. Originally, his mission didn't include hunting down the burly man, but now that everyone was on opposing sides, Gao Jianfei couldn't hold back!
Gao Jianfei flicked his right hand, and a short knife appeared in his hand. Before the burly man's fist could come down, he cut off the burly man's right hand and wrist with a single stroke!
It was Tian Boguang's swift sword technique!
Swiftly, Gao Jianfei lunged forward, a flash of light, and the burly man's head shot skyward! Blood gushed forth!
"Fuck!" At this moment, one of Gao Jianfei's twin brothers, Focke, who was close to him, cried out in alarm and tried to run away!
Gao Jianfei has accepted several level 5 missions, which require him to kill Fox, Falkler, Barosh, and Nicole. He's already taken down three of them; only Falkler remains!
Gao Jianfei suddenly pointed out with his right index finger, and with a "whoosh" sound, the power of the One-Finger Divine Skill hit Fokker's back!
"Ah!" Falker screamed in agony! His body collapsed to the ground, convulsing, foaming at the mouth, and he died! That finger had pierced his heart; he truly had no chance of survival.
"Woof!"
At that moment, a tall and powerful Labrador Retriever pounced directly at Gao Jianfei! In the blink of an eye, it darted in front of Gao Jianfei and opened its mouth to bite down on his arm!
A foul odor emanated from the Labrador's mouth, and Gao Jianfei noticed that the Labrador's teeth were a deep blue color, clearly indicating that it was highly poisonous!
Blank had an elite dog handler who always walked a Labrador. In reality, this guy was an exceptional dog trainer, skilled at feeding his dogs poison so that anyone bitten would quickly die from poisoning!
Gao Jianfei chuckled inwardly… “I’m an expert at controlling animals, and you’re going to unleash your dog on me? What an idiot!” He slightly shifted his body, dodging the Labrador’s bite, and then directly summoned a spot of light… Possession! Possessing the Labrador!
The cost of possession is 800 exorcism points!
"Whoosh!" A spot of light entered the Labrador's head. The Labrador stopped moving, trembling all over! The possession began!
