There were no gongs, no drums, and no fancy sendoff.

Su Mo silently led the team of 100 and chose a route that was completely opposite the direction from which the villagers were shoveling snow.

Thousands of miles were blanketed with powdery white snow as the wind howled a cold breeze.

The smooth and unblemished snow coated everything around them, making the terrain almost unrecognizable.

“Hiding” inside the village, there was still a sense of vitality.

Outside the village, where the snow-coated everything white, it was almost impossible to differentiate the sky from the ground.

The snow layer with an average thickness of more than 13 meters had completely covered 99% of the ground, and it obstructed one’s sense of direction.

The center layer of the snowy grounds had already completed condensed into ice because of the cold air, low temperature, and high humidity.

One wrong step would lead to a fall into a terrifying snow cave. Life and death were a matter of a few seconds while walking in the snow field.

Fortunately, the all-terrain climbing vehicle that was built traveled ahead as a guide, and three adventure mechanics had already explored the terrain in advance the previous night.

During their southeastern journey to the mountain, the team maintained a complete formation as they continued forward despite snow the size of a baby’s fist falling on top of their heads.

Moments later, after they traveled to the end of their field of sight, a ten-person team suddenly appeared, and the expedition team began to slow down and gradually stopped.

Su Mo lifted the door and stepped out of the car to meet the team in front of them.

“How is it? Could we go through the mountain’s entrance?”

Someone from the team stepped forward after being called out and replied respectfully, “Yes, we can go through it. It’s even easier to get through because it’s covered with snow. Many obstacles below have been filled in, and the climbing car will be able to pass through without any problems.”

The vanguard expedition team had left at four in the morning.

Among them, Li Hu’s childhood friend, Feng Tianmin, served as the captain. His abilities were outstanding, and he was really tough. Apart from being a little too honest and rigid, his “combat skills” were not inferior to Li Hu’s at all.

At the same time, Feng Tianmin also served as the captain of the entire expedition team. Without orders from Su Mo, he was responsible for keeping track of the team’s advancement speed and direction during the whole process.

It made things easier for everyone to have him as the deputy captain during this trip.

With Su Mo leading the team, they did not expect Feng Tianmin to serve as the team’s frontline but as the team’s foundation.

In case Su Mo chose to act alone or disappeared temporarily, they merely needed Feng Tianmin, who could lead the team inside the mountain!

“We can enter?

“That’s great news! We won’t have to make any detours. Let’s strive to arrive and camp at the East Long Mountain Base tonight!

Su Mo’s face brightened with joy.

There were many mistakes and pieces that Marshal Wang had left out from what he recalled about the mountain map.

Nonetheless, compared to other places, taking the route drawn by Marshal Wang avoided most risks and reduced the possibility of accidents on the way.

East Long Mountain would be the first mountain encountered in the vicinity of Great Mountain that had traces of human habitation!
