I found a fixed chapter elsewhere, but even that one was missing stuff so I pulled some from MTL, hopefully this is good:

Chapter 348: An Encounter with the Frost Wolf Squad, "Bandits" in the Secret Realm?
As they advanced, Lin Mo kept using the Knight profession’s skills to grind their proficiency.

At the same time, Ellie and the others were also getting familiar with their own skills through fighting the magical creatures.

Although these creatures were a bit weak, they still served their purpose.

The process of finding the mission targets went fairly smoothly, and soon they located the first B-rank mission target and wiped it out with ease.

So they kept moving forward, clearing out monsters and completing missions, and the second mission was finished without trouble as well.

With that done, the group continued through the ice, where the temperature had dropped to around minus fifty degrees.

Lin Mo recalled what he knew about the Phantom Snow Fox, a lord-level magical creature whose attack method could briefly induce hallucinations.

So this kind of creature was dangerous.

Some transcendent-level monsters were even worse, but the Phantom Snow Fox’s material value was about five times that of monsters of the same level!

That was one of the reasons Lin Mo chose to take this task.

Another reason was simple curiosity about the so-called “mental attack” of this creature.

Lin Mo told everyone what he knew about the Phantom Snow Fox and warned them to be careful.

He wasn’t afraid himself, but the other girls might not be so lucky.

Their spirit attributes were all very low, so they had almost no resistance to mental attacks.

Even Flora and Finnie were several levels below the Phantom Snow Fox, and might not withstand its “seductive invasion.”

Everyone nodded and became more cautious, clustering close to Lin Mo and constantly scanning their surroundings.

Lin Mo also probed the area carefully, not missing a single abnormality, and slowed his pace a little.

Ellie pricked up her ears and twitched her nose from time to time. Although scent travels much slower in such cold, for her it was still more reliable than just looking.

After advancing roughly two or three hundred meters, they didn’t run into a Phantom Snow Fox, but did encounter a malicious creature attempting an ambush. Ellie noticed it in time and finished it with a single kick.

Just as Lin Mo was putting that creature’s corpse into his Portable Space storage, Ellie’s ears twitched and her pupils narrowed to slits.

“Lin Mo, I think there’s something moving up ahead…”

She pointed toward the northwest, about a forty-five-degree angle.

In the Millennium Cold Cavern, what could be causing movement?

Nothing more than monster fights or adventurers, Lin Mo thought.

He glanced toward the direction Ellie indicated.

From the sound, it seemed like a commotion of many creatures, but then he realized it probably wasn’t just monsters.

Lin Mo signaled the group to be ready.

Soon, the source of the noise resolved into a sight that made Lin Mo instantly recognize the situation.

It wasn’t a simple pack—this was an adventurer squad. The leader and three companions—one Knight, one Ranger, and one Mage—were present. Their levels were mostly in the mid-teens to twenties, and they were not the kind of low-level party you’d dismiss.

From the looks of it, only a few weaker members had taken some superficial injuries.

If the fight continued, they would likely drive the wolves off at the cost of one or two injured or fallen members.

After considering it, Lin Mo swapped places with his clone.

They were all fellow adventurers, so there was no harm in helping out. More importantly, these wolves were an excellent source of skill proficiency for him.

Once his true body arrived, Lin Mo no longer hid his presence. He charged directly into the battlefield, opening with a Knight's Charge that sent one of the giant wolves flying backward with sheer brute force.

The adventurers who had been gritting their teeth trying to defend themselves were stunned into silence.

That huge wolf just got blasted away?

Bro, are you a Knight or a Warrior?

Before they could recover, Lin Mo began his show, still primarily using Knight-class skills. His attributes were so strong that even the Knight skills—normally limited in damage—became wildly exaggerated in his hands.

Of course, he also wanted to try out his newly acquired skill—Unyielding Shield.

Instead of using Crystal Shield Technique like before, he pulled an exceptional-grade shield out of his Portable Space. He channeled his qi and blood into the shield, and the life force within it began to churn like a meat grinder.

Lin Mo slammed the shield forward. The giant wolf hit by it was shredded by that spinning qi and blood, torn open and bleeding profusely.

The effect was undeniably brutal.

This sudden aid left the adventurer squad’s leader frozen for a moment, then a smile spread across his face.

He said nothing, focusing on the fight as he engaged two frost-toothed silver wolves with apparent ease, showing no sign of being outmatched.

With Lin Mo’s help, the battle ended quickly.

At the same time, Ellie and the others arrived, following the clone's path.

When the fighting stopped, rows of giant wolf corpses littered the ground. Lin Mo turned to the leader of the adventurer squad and suddenly frowned.

He had intervened only to grind proficiency, just like back in Silverstream City, and hadn’t intended to take any spoils.

He held that thought, but seeing the leader’s wary, hostile expression annoyed him a little.

Though Lin Mo was annoyed, he wasn't about to start a fight over it. He curled his lip and said, "I saw you guys struggling with the monsters and decided to lend a hand. As for these things... I don't want them."

He pointed to the fallen wolves on the ground.

Hearing this, the captain across from him looked Lin Mo up and down, then glanced at Ellie and the others walking up behind him. His brow gradually relaxed.

"I'm truly sorry, brother..."

He seemed to lower his guard slightly as he explained, "The Thousand-Year Frost Cave hasn't been peaceful lately. One can't help but be cautious."

"Oh?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”

The man, previously stunned, explained. “Don’t you know? A lot of adventurer squads that entered this cavern suffered heavy losses. Initially people thought it was just monster attacks, but after the Adventurers’ Association investigated, they found oddities at several scenes. Although it looked like monsters did it, some details seemed deliberately staged and shared peculiar similarities. They can’t rule out that it might be human setup!”

Lin Mo understood immediately. “So someone is manipulating things, using monsters as cover to kill and loot?”

“Some adventurers apparently switched sides and became bandits,” the man said.

“The Association hasn’t given a final verdict, but that’s the most likely scenario… so earlier I was suspicious of you. I was overly jumpy. Brother, I can see your intention was good—really, sorry!”

“No problem.”

Lin Mo waved it off. Since there was a reason for their suspicion, he wasn’t going to hold it against them.

“But I still feel a bit bad. How about you take some of these frost-toothed silver wolf carcasses?”

“Aren’t those part of your mission?” Lin Mo countered.

The man scratched his head sheepishly. “They are. We still have to bring these back as proof. How about you tell us your mission, and we’ll help you complete it as repayment. How’s that?”

Lin Mo glanced at him. The middle-aged man’s face wore a simple, honest smile—someone who seemed sentimental and straightforward.

“No need,” Lin Mo said, waving his hand. “Our task is quite tricky. You wouldn’t be much help.”

“Alright then.”

The man didn’t press further. He told his teammates to start processing the wolf carcasses, then stepped forward and warned Lin Mo: “Kid, you’re young. Be careful from now on. Those people—whoever they are—are crafty. From what we know, they probably disguise themselves…”

The man’s face was earnest.

“I know,” Lin Mo replied, nodding.

The man clapped Lin Mo on the shoulder and laughed heartily. "You're strong, little brother. I'm sure you'll be fine. We're heading back to Frostbreath City now. Once you're done with your mission, remember to look us up. Our squad is called 'Frost Wolf.' I'll treat you all to a drink then—don't you dare refuse next time!"

Saying that, he turned to leave toward the nearest Secret Realm exit.

Lin Mo watched them go.

“Lin Mo?” Ellie asked, puzzled.

'What is he looking at? There weren't even any pretty girls in that squad...'

The little wolf girl was completely baffled.

If Lin Mo knew what she meant, he didn’t show it.

'What's that supposed to mean? Am I that kind of person?'

'Even if I were, you're not allowed to say it... well, don't even think it.'

“Maybe it’s connected to what happened in the past,” Flora guessed.

“Maybe…” Lin Mo answered in a long, noncommittal tone, then quickly turned and smiled faintly. “Let’s go. We should move on.”

“We need to be extra careful from here on out. Besides monsters, we might even face human attacks.”

“Pfft, we’re not scared. If they dare show up, I… Lin Mo will flatten them!” Ellie blustered halfway through, then cleverly aimed her boast at Lin Mo, making everyone laugh.

There are missing words. Mostly on "...".

Is this translation error?
