Today’s first update: Chapter 167, Gong Jin, please use your monthly ticket, reminder, and whip me hard!
…
The top of the iceberg is so eye-catching that you can recognize it no matter where you are.
In that place surrounded by clouds and mist, where the frost is biting, is the coldest and most vicious polar iceberg. Even SSS-level talents dare not set foot in the absolute restricted area!
Thousands of injuries per second is just one of them. There, there is the largest, most powerful, and most ferocious [Snow Monster] army, and there is no doubt that the B-level boss [Snow Monster King] is stationed there!
Just think about it, who would make fun of their own life when they are full?
Instead of seeking death, it is better to move around among the hills below the mountainside where the ice is not harsh enough, looking for a way out!
Although this is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to lose direction, at least the external threat is much smaller!
If you find a [Hot Spring], you can replenish your health and hit the road. The sporadic [Snow Monsters] are not fatal to trialists who have the ability to break through to this level!
Under normal circumstances, it would not be just one person who could cross the three mountains. Although the polar icebergs are vast, even the sixth-level rainforest, as long as the large armies of trialists set foot here, there will definitely be people of all sizes. A temporary team is formed!
If you stand in the distance and look out, you can see the snow-white iceberg, densely packed with an army of trialists climbing like ants!
In extremely bad weather, the testers will also lose the desire to fight, even the warlike Shura tribe is no exception!
My only thought is to leave this hellish place in the freezing cold weather as soon as possible!
With blood loss all the time, instead of engaging in meaningless fights with other tribes of trials, we should work together to find [hot springs], fight against [snow monsters], and climb over icebergs!
The strong are always lonely, and only the truly strong dare to set foot on the polar icebergs alone!
And only the strong among the strong not only dare to go deep alone, but also challenge the limits and reach the top of the mountain!
With Xu Kun's current moving speed, even if the iceberg is extremely wide and high, it doesn't take him much time to follow the snow and reach the foot of the iceberg!
Xu Kun couldn't tell how much ice damage there was because his health bar was always full!
Looking up, the iceberg is at an angle of at least 70°!
In such steep conditions, even those trialists who can fly must consider how to stay!
And it is said that the strong winds blowing from time to time from the third mountain, Storm Thunder Mountain, although it cannot cause harm to people, are wrapped in snowflakes all over the sky. Even the powerful flying race does not dare to try to fly too high!
Because once the snowstorm gets out of control, you may have spent half a day climbing in vain!
It’s true: it’s hard for birds to cross, and it’s hard to cross mountains!
One step at a time is the best way to cross the iceberg!
After Xu Kun looked at it for a while, except for the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds, the sky was covered with snowflakes, making it impossible to see the situation clearly. He shook his head and took out the Shadow Bearing Sword!
After dancing with the Shadow Sword, the sharp blade inserted effortlessly into the snow and penetrated the ice!
The power of nature still needs to be respected. Xu Kun is not afraid of the ice injuries that always bother him, but he is also afraid of a strong wind blowing him away!
With his left hand, he took out the [Ultimate Flame Spirit Sword] which could no longer keep up with the pace of his times!
Then point your toes and rush towards the steep mountain wall!
At his speed, his toes touched the soft snow without even leaving a single footprint!
Not flying, but almost flying!
But inevitably, layers of snowflakes hit Xu Kun, trying to stop his rapid progress!
At the galloping speed, even the weak snowflakes turned into extremely sharp ice blades!
In a short time, Xu Kun's entire body became a bulldozer. The accumulated pressure from the thick snowdrifts, coupled with the gravity brought about by the near-inverted suspension, inevitably slowed down even Xu Kun's extremely high movement speed!
This is also the biggest challenge for many people who want to cross the iceberg quickly due to their high movement speed!
Snow can crush a person!
At this time, the [Ultimate Flame Spirit Sword] on Xu Kun's left hand came into play!
"The Wrath of the Flame Dragon!"
The roaring fire dragon rushed forward angrily, causing the snowflakes to melt and the ice to melt. The dim sight became extremely clear after the fire dragon wreaked havoc!
However, the coverage area of [Fire Dragon's Wrath] is only 500*500, and it can only barely clear the snow accumulated in front of Xu Kun. While the fire dragon is still raging, Xu Kun's figure is already higher up!
choke!
With a sword inserted into the solid ice, Xu Kun exhaled a breath of hot breath, and then the hot breath instantly froze into ice!
The whole person is hanging upside down, half hanging on the mountain wall.
He only rushed upward for a second, and the snowflakes accumulated on his body were already so thick that he couldn't breathe. After he stopped at this moment, the white snow all over his body fell down, with a rumble, and not long after, an avalanche was triggered below. !
The higher you go, the heavier the snow becomes!
"It seems that we can't keep going straight!" Xu Kun wiped away the white snow covering his entire face!
But he was not depressed because of this, after all, the mere snow was not a problem for him!
It was just a test!
After taking a short rest, Xu Kun decisively activated the special skill [Hell's Evil Wind] on the [Purgatory Wind Demon Boots]!
The black evil wind rose from the soles of Xu Kun's feet, forming a 15-square-meter barrier!
Within the scope, the snow that had not melted for many years was swept away, and all the falling snowflakes were swept away by the evil wind!
A vacuum zone formed around Xu Kun, and even the originally cold temperature increased a lot!
[Hell's Evil Wind] only lasts for sixty seconds, but the storm follows his body, so in the next sixty seconds, Xu Kun has no worries!
The Chengying Sword left shallow pits on the surface of the thick iceberg. When Xu Kun passed by, they would be quickly buried by the snow!
Sixty seconds passed, the black evil wind disappeared, and Xu Kun suddenly felt a chill in his body!
Holding the hilt of the sword firmly, his feet dug into the snow!
Damage values have already begun to appear above the head.
-560, +560!
After the [Rock Armor] was shattered, Xu Kun's own health bar began to fall, but what was lost one second was replenished the next second!
At a speed of sixty seconds, although Xu Kun's speed was slowed down a lot due to the angle of the mountain climbing, he still climbed 50,000 to 60,000 meters at least. But based on the ice damage calculation, his current height is about Less than half the mountain?
This so-called fastest road is over 100,000 meters long!
Even though the hypotenuse is longer than the altitude, it proves that polar icebergs are really too high!
Xu Kun couldn't help but think of a poem passed down from ancient China: Hey, the danger is so high, the iceberg is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
"I heard that the highest mountain in Ancient Blue Star, Himachal Mountain, is less than 9,000 meters above sea level. Compared with this polar iceberg, it is the difference between an ant and an elephant. But this is only the shortest of the three mountains. !”
Xu Kun couldn't help but be speechless!
At this time, it was impossible to see anything clearly when looking down. Looking up, it was no better than at the foot of the mountain. The sky was filled with snowflakes like a curtain, blocking out the sun. Xu Kun only stood for a while and was almost buried by the thick layer of snow. Got it!
"Continue!" Xu Kun waved his sword, and the newly accumulated snow layer around him was swept away in an instant!
A flaming bird appeared in the palm of my hand!
"Red Bird!"
The three flaming birds were thrown out one by one by Xu Kun, and then when Xu Kun approached a certain location, they exploded!
The power of the explosion caused the snowflakes in the sky to freeze for an instant!
With the help of three "Red Birds", Xu Kun advanced several thousand meters!
The special skill of [Infernal Wind Demon Boots] [Hell's Evil Wind] is undoubtedly the most suitable for blocking blizzards, but at this moment, it has already entered CD!
Next, in order to prevent the heavy snow from burying him, Xu Kun had no choice but to choose a stupid way!
He used all the skills that could help him clear the snow blocking his path!
"Explosive fire bomb!"
"Fire sets a prairie fire!"
"Blade Storm!"
"Fire Dance Whirlwind!"
Against this blizzard, only fire-attribute attacks and wind-attribute attacks can be effective!
Group attacks like [The Earth Shakes and the Mountains Shake] and [Thousands of Miles of Blood Poison] have no response at all!
After all the skills that can clear heavy snow are on CD, Xu Kun can only clear the way forward by waving the Shadow Sword attached to [Fire Line·Enhancement]!
The higher you go, the snow is so heavy that it is boundless, making Xu Kun feel like he is being hit by the snow all the time, and the air here seems to be frozen, and it is so groggy that it makes people feel extremely depressed!
Even Xu Kun's breathing became extremely difficult, just like when he was entangled in the blue silver grass during the first novice trial!
The speed, as expected, slowed down. There were really deep holes in the snow, and I couldn't walk fast anymore!
After running for a while, Xu Kun finally saw the first [hot spring]!
The surrounding snow melts due to the existence of this [hot spring] and turns into pure water, flowing into this steaming [hot spring]!
Xu Kun changed his direction, walked through the thick snow that could bury several of him, and came to the [hot spring]!
He didn't need to use the [Hot Spring]'s built-in blood regeneration function to replenish blood, but it was really tiring to climb the mountain with heavy snow all the way!
Sitting next to the hot spring, Xu Kun kept patting the snow on his body. Under the heat of the hot spring, the snow water flowed downwards along the gaps guarded by the rock. After a while, it gathered into a pool at the soles of Xu Kun's feet!
"It didn't take a lot of time, but the higher you go, the speed won't increase at all!"
According to the current damage value of -1060 above his head, Xu Kun judged that he had climbed to 70% of the height!
But now, the large-scale group attack skills are being cooled down. He is running in the snow and cannot even use 1/10 of his speed!
"This snow is too heavy. If there is no heavy snow to block the road, no matter how high the polar iceberg is, it won't take much time for me!"
Xu Kun was thinking about it, and suddenly he was startled, thinking of a skill he had never used before!
【地行】
Grade: B-level special skills
Effect: Dive into the ground to a depth of no more than ten meters and keep moving forward at 60% of your own speed. It will become invalid after being damaged, leaving the ground, or actively launching an attack. The effect lasts for 10 seconds.
Energy consumption: 100
Cooling time: 300S
This B-level skill obtained from the earth dragons, when placed on Xu Kun, became the most useless existence, not even as good as his E-level skills!
And similarly, when being harassed by ice damage all the time, this [Earth Travel] skill is also ineffective!
But why is Xu Kun considering this skill now?
Thinking about it, he took out a scroll from his backpack.
[Skill Enhancement Scroll]
Grade: D grade
Introduction: It contains special powers that give skills stronger attributes, which can be used to improve skill levels or optimize skill formats!
Function: D-level skills and below have 100% level +1; C-level skills have an 80% chance of optimization, and a 20% chance of level +1; B-level skills have a 20% chance of optimization, and a 1% chance of level +1!
This [Skill Enhancement Scroll] is similar to the S-level scroll I used to enhance [Eternal Spark]!
This is also one of the few things that Xu Kun collected when the F-level boss dropped it on the fifth floor!
Originally, the grade was only E-level, but through the bonus of Destiny and Destiny Son, it was upgraded to D-level!
The highest level is to upgrade B-level skills!
Xu Kun had not thought about which skill to use this scroll on before, but now, he wanted to try it and strengthen the useless skill [Earth Action] to see if there are any surprises!
Just do it, Xu Kun tore open the scroll.
[Ding, the skill enhancement scroll was used successfully, please choose the skill you need to strengthen! 】
"I'll choose B-level skills!"
[Ding, the selection is successful, start strengthening! 】
[Ding, the enhancement is successful, the earth level is +1, upgraded to A-level skill: Underground shuttle! 】
This D-level scroll is very good. It is not like the S-level scroll used to strengthen [Eternal Spark]. It is also a friendly reminder to myself!
Looking at the successfully enhanced skills, Xu Kun's eyes suddenly lit up!
【Underground shuttle】
Grade: A-level special skills
Effect: Dive into the ground to a depth of no more than 20 meters and keep moving forward at 80% of your own speed. Effect duration: 30S!
Energy consumption: 200
Cooling time: 300S
A series of restrictions were lifted, and the speed and duration of movement underground were increased by 20 seconds. The energy consumption was 100 more, but it was no big deal!
After shaking off the remaining snowflakes on his body, Xu Kun decisively used this skill!
The next moment, Xu Kun's body relaxed, and a feeling of weightlessness made him feel dizzy!
The body fell directly, as if what he stepped on was not the frozen frozen soil, but a surface of water!
After falling twenty meters, Xu Kun felt down to earth. Surrounded by frozen soil covered with ice, Xu Kun stretched out his hand to hold it. Although he could feel a sense of sluggishness, the palm of his hand was still full of sluggishness. Wherever it passes, there is no obstacle, just like...in the water!
The speed is slightly limited, but when the basic movement speed is fast, the weakened part is not worth mentioning!
It can still burst out with a movement speed of nearly 1800 meters/second!
In this way, Xu Kun shuttled through the frozen underground at such a fast speed that the pangolin would cry when he saw it!
According to Xu Kun's estimation, he is still 40,000 to 50,000 meters away from the top of the iceberg. As long as he maintains 80% movement speed underground, as long as he is in the right direction, he can continue to travel under the [Underground Shuttle] Reach the summit successfully before time ends!
There was silence all around, a dead silence that could freeze everything!
There was no heavy snow to block the road, Xu Kun was like a fish in water, roaming freely!
When the duration of [Underground Travel] entered the countdown, Xu Kun suddenly felt a light in front of him. After stepping out, it was no longer soft and sunken snow, but solid land!
Above your head, the sky is so close that you can reach out and grasp it!
All around, there are clouds and mist, as if you are in a fairyland!
The scenery on the top of the mountain is exceptionally beautiful, vast and spectacular beyond Xu Kun's imagination!
And the -1660 ice damage per second above his head also told him that he was indeed standing on the top of the iceberg at this moment!
He succeeded!
Just when Xu Kun was still intoxicated with the joy of climbing to the top and the rare beauty, a roar that could trigger an avalanche broke the peace on the top of the mountain!
Xu Kun looked sideways and narrowed his eyes!
A monster as tall as a hill, covered in snow-white fur, with a pair of scarlet eyes looking at him eagerly!
The deafening sound just now came from its mouth!
Around it, dozens of shrunken monsters shorter than it but twice as tall as Xu Kun followed, and soon they surrounded Xu Kun!
Xu Kun took a look and was about to reach out to summon the [Illustrated Book of Ten Thousand Races]!
Unexpectedly, before he could make any move, an illusory book appeared in front of his eyes. The pages of the book were flipping, and soon, a blank page was separated from the book.
Then, at an extremely fast speed, I drew the appearance of the hill-like monster in front of me, as well as the surrounding mobs in the corners!
【Snow Monster King】
Grade: B grade
