"call!"
The door opened, and the howling cold wind mixed with a large number of snowflakes blew into the door, instantly covering the three people with frost.
The three of them subconsciously stretched out their hands to cover themselves.
When they looked up again, what appeared in front of them was a scene of ice and snow.
On the endless plains, the north wind roared past, kicking up layers of snow waves.
A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, reflecting on the endless white snow like mercury pouring down the ground.
None of the three people expected that what was connected behind the door would be such a snowy night scene.
Mu You walked out first with a wand in hand and a chain claw wrapped around his left arm.
Lin Xue followed him and walked out carrying the coffin.
[You have entered the star spirit world...]
Stepping on the soft snow, such an explanatory text suddenly appeared in the depths of Mu You's mind.
"So people in the star spirit world will also have some game-like prompts..."
Mu You thought to himself, he was not sure for the time being whether this prompt was only for players, or whether everyone in the Star Spirit World would have it, but this was not the time to pay attention to it.
Looking back, I saw the shadow of a square door standing so abruptly on the ground in this endless snowy plain, as if a rectangular door was opened out of thin air, and the light came from the door. , illuminated a small area in front of the door, placed on the huge snowfield, looking lonely and small.
When this door is closed, it cannot be seen in another world. In other words, the door can only be opened and closed from the earth side.
"This place is..." Mu You frowned and looked at the surrounding environment.
"This is the North, the uninhabited ice field located outside the northern border of the Lan'el Empire." Vivian on the shoulder explained, while jumping into the pocket on Mu You's chest, huddled up to keep warm.
Another gust of cold wind blew by, and the three of them shivered unconsciously.
Even Xiaoya in the room rubbed her arms and poked her head out, looking out in surprise. However, she did not dare to step out. Instead, she looked at the two of them and asked: "Sister Xue, boss, do you want some money?" Can you get some clothes?"
Neither Mu You nor Lin Xue answered, but suddenly looked in a certain direction in the distance.
They had already heard a roar coming from the other side, mixed with the howling of the north wind, which seemed intermittent.
After a few seconds, they finally saw the source of the sound.
It was a huge snow monster, dragging a stick cut from the trunk of a big tree in its right hand, as if it was carrying a baseball bat. It was rushing towards this side. Every step it took could cause There was a tremor on the ground.
"It's the Pine Forest Snow Monster!" Vivian said solemnly.
"Pine Forest Snow Monster?"
Mu You was stunned when he heard that the fur of the pine forest snow monster was also a potion material, which was recorded in Vivian's notes.
That's why Mu You felt strange, because according to the records in the notes, the pine forest snow monster is a kind of monster that lives in the coniferous pine forest all year round. Unless there is an accident, it will never leave the forest range in its life. How could it appear in this kind of snow monster? On the plain?
Before I had time to think about it, the snow monster was already approaching quickly.
"You two, don't come here!"
Mu You shouted to Lin Xue and Xiaoya, and immediately rushed in the direction of the snow monster in the distance.
There is a door here, and it has been opened. It cannot be closed within twenty-four hours. He must first find a way to lure the snow monster elsewhere.
After the two sides approached a hundred meters, Mu You jumped up, quickly drew his bow and arrow in mid-air, and shot an arrow with a red light at the top towards the snow monster.
The snow monster didn't notice the arrow at all, or in other words, it was so big that it couldn't avoid it at all. The arrow flew across quickly and hit it in the chest.
"boom!"
The next second, the explosive potion in the arrow exploded.
Amidst the roar, smoke and fire covered the upper body of the snow monster, and the impact also launched the snow monster away, rolling backwards several times before stopping.
This exploding arrow did up to 700 points of damage and hit the heart. For an ordinary wild monster, this would have been seriously injured.
As a result, the snow monster in the distance just shook its head and got up again. Except for the silver-white hair on its chest that was burnt black, no injuries could be seen at all.
The snow monster roared angrily and continued to charge towards Mu You.
As he got closer, Mu You's omniscient crystal fed back information about the snow monster.
[Level 19 pine forest snow monster, attack power 101-106, health value 10500, magic value 4000, ability: snow collision, earth shaking...]
Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it. Not to mention that he couldn't defeat a level 19 monster. How long would it take to kill such a fleshy wild monster?
Seeing the opponent approaching at high speed, Mu You immediately ran away in the direction to the side.
The arrow just now is said to have established a solid hatred, and this run should be able to successfully lure the snow monster away.
As a result, the snow monster glanced at the direction Mu You was running in, hesitated for less than half a second, and then continued to rush towards the door.
"Is it targeting the door?"
Mu You was startled and without any time to think, he hurriedly threw his chain claw at the snow monster.
The chain claw flew over the snow and accurately hit the snow monster's hind leg.
Mu You dragged the chain claw and waited for the snow monster to be pulled back. The recovery of the chain claw is said to be a rule-enforced effect of the prop. He has never seen anything that cannot be retrieved.
However, he soon discovered that he had underestimated the power of the snow monster. Not only did the chain claws not retract this time, but he himself was dragged closer to the snow monster.
Mu You pulled the chain claw with all his strength, plowing a ravine on the ground. Under the vampire's skin, the nearly twice the strength bonus only slightly slowed down the snow monster.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the snow monster, Mu You reached into the bag at his waist, took out a foot-binding grass seed, threw it into the distance, and then pointed at the wand and unleashed crazy growth.
The seeds accurately landed at the feet of the snow monster and surged out in an instant. The four-meter-tall snow monster was covered by tall grass in the blink of an eye. Countless vines emerged from the ground and wrapped around its limbs and body.
The snow monster roared angrily and struggled desperately among the grass. The vines were broken by its huge strength, but every time one was broken, new vines would immediately be added.
The snow monster was soon annoyed by the endless vines. With a roar, he hammered the ground like the Hulk, immediately smashing circles of cracks in the surrounding ice over a large area.
Then it sank its fists into the snow. After groping for a while, it seemed to have caught something. With a strong tug, it directly pulled out the roots of the foot-binding grass. With its hands interlaced, it violently tore the grass roots into pieces.
The foot-binding plant has been dealt with, and there is no longer any obstacle in front of the snow monster.
However, this delay is enough.
When the snow monster finally cleared the obstacle, he was about to turn around and continue to move forward.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a figure appearing out of thin air in front of him, holding a wand and pointing it at it. A surging spell was already taking shape at the tip of the wand.
"Water Prison Technique!"
A huge water prison instantly solidified, completely covering the body of the snow monster. In icy and snowy weather, the water prison automatically solidified into a stronger ice prison as soon as it appeared, trapping the snow monster firmly within it.
Mu You landed on the ground, looking at the snow monster that was pounding crazily in the ice prison but unable to shake it at all, and finally he could take a breath.
"What's going on with this thing? Shouldn't it live in the pine forest?" Mu You only had time to ask Vivian.
"I'm afraid it was arranged by the Wizards Association."
"Um?"
"When Al left, he suddenly disappeared in the area. They were afraid that they might have guessed the existence of a door nearby. However, it is impossible for humans to live in this place for a long time, so the Wizards Association arranged for a snow monster to guard here. Once they find that there is a door, If the door is open, attack the door and dismantle it.”
"So, his goal is really the door?"
Mu You frowned when he heard this. If this was really the case, it would be troublesome.
You must know that this is the star spirit world, there is a resurrection mechanism, and it cannot be ended with one kill.
The snow monster in the pine forest has a long lifespan. I don’t know how much life this snow monster has left, but it should have a few hundred years. Doesn’t that mean that if he wants to stop the snow monster, he has to kill it hundreds of times in a row?
It's okay at night, with the vampire skin, and with the talent of the giant killer, there is a chance to suppress this giant creature, but what about during the day? The door will last for twenty-four hours. If he fights for a whole day, his magic power will never be able to hold on.
"You can't kill this monster." Vivian suddenly said.
"how?"
"It has a teleportation mark set up by the Wizards Association. Once it dies and is resurrected, it will automatically be teleported back to the Wizards Association's territory. Then they will know that the door here has been opened, and they will definitely send someone over."
"So we still want to prevent it from resurrecting?"
Mu You's expression turned ugly again. It was not easy to kill him, and he couldn't kill him with ordinary methods...
At the moment, it seems that there are only two ways: one is to lead it to the earth first. There is no resurrection mechanism within the scope of the earth. Killing it once can cause permanent death. However, there is a problem. This thing is so huge. If it really wants to pass through the door, it will burst its store. Moreover, it is unimaginable how much impact it will have on the earth during the killing process. If nothing else, By then the secret of this door will no longer be able to be kept...
The second is to rely on Lin Xue's sickle...
The Death Scythe theoretically does have the ability to take away snow monsters in a wave, but that is only in theory. In fact, Lin Xue, a new player at level 4, would have to hit ten times to fight this level 19 monster. This time, isn’t this whimsical?
This is no longer a gap that can be bridged by tactics and wisdom. The huge difference in attributes makes the snow monster fully capable of defeating all methods at once.
"Bang!"
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound.
Mu You looked up and realized that the snow monster had smashed the ice prison into cracks with his fists!
Immediately afterwards, the snow monster's next punch directly shattered the ice prison, and the ice prison turned into countless ice crystals and splashed around.
"Holy shit!"
Mu You cursed secretly, isn't this monster's power too abnormal? Ice Prison, a spell that is said to be absolutely indestructible from the inside, can be broken by force.
As for the snow monster, after breaking out of the cage, he ignored Mu You and rushed straight to the open door in the distance.
At this time, in front of the door, Lin Xue put down the ice coffin, holding the sickle in both hands, ready to fight.
This is the first time she has experienced actual combat in reality. It is impossible to say that she is not nervous. But at this time, she has no way out. There is a door behind her. If she gets out of the way, the snow monster is likely to destroy the door. Once the door is removed, The passage between the two worlds will continue to open, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Just when the snow monster was about to charge, Mu You apparated and teleported in front of her. He had already held a wind card in his hand, quickly put it on his forehead and melted into the crystal.
However, time is still a little tight.
From the time the spell was formed on the crystal to the time when he cast the spell, the snow monster was already approaching, with only the door in front of him in sight, waving the tree trunk and sweeping towards the two of them, as if he wanted to use brute force to clear away the obstacles in front of the door.
That's too late……
Mu You was already considering whether to take Lin Xue to teleport out first.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that Lin Xue suddenly felt someone tapping her shoulder from behind when facing the huge tree that swept towards her. Then a figure stepped out from behind, passed by her, and took it away lightly. The sickle in her hand stopped in front of her and Mu You, and she raised the sickle in the distance.
"Bang!"
Amidst the muffled sound, the exaggerated tree trunk was firmly stopped in mid-air.
A thin figure, floating half a meter high in the sky, stopped in front of the snow monster and used the sickle in his hand to hold the giant tree of the snow monster.
The airflow caused by the collision blew up a circle of snow waves and spread them in all directions.
The three people behind were stunned.
"grandmother?"
Lin Xue called out dully, looking in disbelief at the figure protecting her in front of her, the exquisite dress, the gray hair, and more importantly, the familiar back.
There was no way Lin Xue could admit her mistake. This was exactly the back of her grandma whom she had seen countless times when she was a child, following behind her elders.
Even the snow monster in front was stunned for a moment, completely unexpected that such a small human being could actually block its full blow?
In the pocket on Muyou's chest, even Vivian's pupils shrank slightly at this time, and the familiar figure holding a sickle in front of her made her feel dazed for a while.
"Al, you really did it..."
My thoughts return to that past era.
In the early days when the Occult Association was first established, there were actually only eleven members.
Until one day, she brought a child back from abroad and told others that she had found the last piece of the puzzle.
"This is a creative child with an extraordinary talent for the soul realm. She will surprise us." This is what she said to other members at the time.
Others didn't care at first because the child was too young and didn't have any fame. She could just be their granddaughter.
But they were soon impressed by the child's confidence.
"Genius Al is here to report."
"My genius, Al, will work with you all in the future to carry forward the power of the secret technique!"
These were Al’s first two sentences after joining the association. Young, confident, and energetic, a little-known kid stood in front of eleven of them 'notorious' big shots, without any stage fright, and seemed to seriously treat them as colleagues on the same level.
Vivian can still clearly remember the wonderful expressions on the faces of the other ten people at that time.
Then they found the original crystal in the ruins, and the research on the secret technique was officially on the right track.
As a result, Al came to her the next day and proposed an astonishing idea: "Teacher Vivian, you control the power of life, and I control the power of the soul. Soul plus life, doesn't it mean - resurrection of the dead? Can we borrow the power of the deceased?"
Others laughed at her whims, but Vivian herself was equally unfazed, because she knew that the true resurrection of the dead was the Creator's private place, a realm that mortals could never touch.
Until now, it seems that she has really done it, although in a more extreme way...
While Vivian was thinking, the scene fell into an eerie stillness.
Mu You reacted first at this time. The tip of the wand fired the spell immediately, and a shock wave with all his strength blew the snow monster away far away.
"Death Contract, support her!"
Vivian's voice suddenly sounded in their minds.
Only then did Lin Xue come out of her daze. She didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly took the wand handed over by Mu You and released the secret technique in the crystal on the ground.
A triangular strange formation quickly formed on the soles of the two people's feet.
[Your lifespan is being sucked away by the God of Death under the contract, lifespan -1...]
With this reminder in his mind, Mu You instantly felt that the magic power in his body and the natural energy in the crystals were being continuously drained away, passed through the formation, thrown into the sky, and finally, under the guidance of Lin Xue, inputted into the figure in front. in vivo.
The floating figure absorbed the energy of the two people, and its old face quickly became younger. The wrinkles on its face and body disappeared, its skin became white, and its figure became straight.
And when she looked back, she had changed from a gray-haired old man to a young and pretty, even young-looking girl, whose appearance was somewhat similar to Lin Xue.
However, the girl was holding a scythe and looking at the two people with dull eyes, but there was no agility in her eyes that belonged to a living person.
Lin Xue stared blankly at the girl in front of him. This is...grandma when she was young?
At this moment, the girl suddenly swung the sickle. Before either of them could react, the tip of the knife quickly passed over Lin Xue's body, taking out a piece of her soul and quickly submerged into the girl's body.
Lin Xue suddenly felt dizzy and fainted to the side, but was supported by Mu You.
"Xiao Xue?"
Lin Xue held her forehead and looked forward in surprise.
She felt that she now had two perspectives, one was inside her body, looking at her grandma's figure in front of her.
The other one was in grandma's body, feeling as if he and grandma were integrated into one body. Holding a sickle, he faced the snow monster rising in the distance and rushed forward uncontrollably.
"Xiaoxue, you see clearly, the way a contractor fights is like this..."
A familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Lin Xue's eyes instantly became moist. She knew that this was her grandma's soul that had not completely dissipated. It once again protected her before disappearing and left her with the final guidance.
Then Lin Xue felt as if a pair of invisible hands were clasping on her hands.
Just like when she was a child, she taught her how to use chopsticks, hold an umbrella, and cut paper countless times. At this moment, grandma is also teaching her step by step how to control the sickle, how to move, how to avoid monster attacks, and how to hit the enemy in the gap between defenses... …
[Your lifespan -1...]
[Your lifespan -1...]
On Mu You's side, reminders of lifespan reduction were still emerging, and at this time, he finally saw Grandma Lin Xue's level: level 16!
But the other attributes are all 'question marks'.
Obviously, it was not that Lin Xue's grandmother was only level 16 during her lifetime, but because he and Lin Xue's insufficient energy supply limited her level limit to this high.
Although she couldn't see her attributes, just by looking at the changes on the battlefield in the distance, Mu You could clearly feel that her agility value was so high!
The thin figure kept dodging around the snow monster. The snow monster kept roaring and waving its claws wildly. Every time it punched, it would bring up waves of snow, shaking the ground and the mountains, but it still couldn't stop it. He touched the half-dressed corner of the figure.
The girl is like a nimble snow elf, dancing in the snow, her movements are graceful and skillful, leaving marks on the other person's body gracefully again and again, and leaving without a piece of snow touching her body.
The girl's footsteps seemed to have a strange rhythm, always calm and leisurely, and each step was taken at just the right place. It seemed that she was moving very slowly, but in fact, it was like the wind blowing on the earth, everywhere. But it can never be captured.
One knife...
Two swords...
Three swords...
…
It wasn't until the eighth hit that Lin Xue suddenly felt that the power controlling her body had disappeared, and there was no longer any murmur from her body. She was completely in control of her body.
Lin Xue immediately understood that grandma had really left forever this time...
After a brief period of loss, she had no time to feel sad. Her eyes quickly became calm and she continued to maintain her previous course of action.
She has now inherited all of her grandmother's attributes. In theory, she can perfectly restore the attack methods just now.
Although her movements are still very immature, she cannot adapt to this fast-paced battle for the time being, so she can only imitate cats and animals, and her movements become nondescript. But she also has her own characteristics, which is her careful and calm thinking.
What she lacks in skill is made up for by the number of times. Grandma can hit once in five seconds. If she can't be so skilled, she can go slower, forty seconds, fifty seconds... she can always hit.
The ninth knife, hit!
After a successful attack, Lin Xue immediately stepped back, distanced himself, and then circled around the snow monster again.
After a few rounds, until she had reached a sufficient angle, she rushed forward again and slashed at the snow monster's leg with her final knife.
"Qiang!"
The knife passed by and was almost dodged by the snow monster, but fortunately it still hit the target, leaving an undetectable line of blood on the snow monster's leg.
As for rushing too close this time and having no time to dodge, it doesn't matter anymore. The ten marks have been completed and the next battle has nothing to do with her.
The snow monster roared angrily, looked at the figure at his feet, and smacked the figure with his palm, but he couldn't take it down anymore just halfway through.
A huge shadow of death quickly emerged from the scythe and instantly enveloped Lin Xue. With a casual lift, the snow monster flew away.
The god of death that appeared looked like a skeleton, wore a black robe, and held a sickle of the same style that was dozens of times larger. The skeleton swept around, the soul fire in its eyes beating crazily, and a long and weird laugh came out of its mouth.
"Is this the God of Death?" Mu You looked at the giant skeleton shadow surrounding the girl in the distance in surprise.
After the real God of Death arrived, an indescribable icy aura instantly enveloped the surroundings.
Mu You felt the suffocating pressure from a distance, and his whole body was suddenly covered with goosebumps.
This is completely different from the sense of oppression brought by the Blood Emperor that day. This is a more deadly sense of fear that directly affects the soul level, as if they are already in the hell under the Nine Nethers.
Even he already felt this way, not to mention the snow monster facing death in the distance.
The snow monster, who was fearless before, finally showed uncontrollable panic on his face when he saw the God of Death. He climbed up from the snow and instinctively ran away into the distance.
However, Death just waved his left hand, and his fingers easily passed through the body of the snow monster, and a blue soul shadow was pulled out of its body. As the snow monster ran away, the soul was stretched like plasticine, but Still unable to break free from death's hand.
As more and more souls were pulled out, until the entire body of the snow monster emerged, the God of Death once again let out a weird laugh.
The sickle in his right hand swung across and cut the soul in two from the snow monster.
