At night, Levi was organizing things for tomorrow's operation.
Although he has absolute confidence in his own strength, he is still accustomed to preparing better in advance.
After all, this place is unfamiliar to people. It’s not just the snow monsters that Li Wei has to be wary of, but also the people here.
After finishing all this, Levi opened the proficiency panel.
Levi————
Seal of Hell: Level 2 (500/5000)
…
"An ordinary undead core can provide 100 points of proficiency. The limit of the Seal of Hell is based on the fifth level. A total of 34,500 points of proficiency are needed. That is, hunting 345 snow monsters is not difficult. ." Levi calculated.
Of course, in addition to maxing out his liver, Levi also needs to store a large amount of undead cores for future use.
The fifth-level Seal of Hell requires five undead cores, and the consumption is not small, so Levi needs to save at least a thousand undead cores. It is not easy to visit the Kingdom of Eternal Night, so get more at one time to be prepared. .
Of course, he didn't know if the limit of the Seal of Hell was the fifth level. It was just that the ancestors of the Constantine family had reached the fifth level. It did not mean that the limit of this seal was the fifth level.
"Try to resolve it within a month, and then set off for the Icicle Islands."
Levi had a sleepless night. After he entered the Great Knight, he needed very little sleep. He only needed to sleep efficiently for a few hours every day. It was completely fine if he didn't sleep for several days in a row.
This is the consciousness of the Gan Emperor. Before he became the strongest, how could Levi sleep?
He practiced breathing techniques and waited for tomorrow to come.
The Blood Whale Breathing Technique has reached its limit, and there is no other endurance-type breathing technique to break the limit, so this one can be considered a temporary graduation.
The main things that Levi can practice are the Giant Rhino Breathing Technique and the Black Snake Breathing Technique. If everything goes well, Levi will be able to practice the Giant Rhinoceros Breathing Technique to the eighth level by the end of this year. And of course, there’s the Silver Sable Breathing Technique that I just got.
Thinking of this, Li Wei took out the breathing method inheritance chart.
Start practicing the breathing method according to the postures on the lineage chart.
A few hours later.
On Levi's proficiency panel.
Another new skill emerged.
Levi————
Silver Sable Breathing Technique: Level 1 (1/1000)
…
"The basic level of breathing techniques is getting started faster and faster."
Levi couldn't help but remember that it took him a full month or two to learn the Frost Wolf Breathing Technique, but now, it only takes a few hours.
"The secret medicine of the Silver Ferret Breathing Method is very common, it is the Ferret's Claw. It is easy to obtain in this far north."
With the supply of secret medicine, Li Wei is still very confident that he can push this breathing method to the limit in two months.
Practicing the breathing method went very quickly. After Levi took a short rest, the early morning came.
In the far north, daylight hours are extremely limited, so the sky outside is still pitch black.
It was already gathering time. Levi packed his things, took the magic shark, and set off towards the military camp.
When he came here, many wandering knights had already arrived. They all brought their own armor, weapons, and dry food. Many of them had extremely excited faces.
After all, every time you kill a snow demon, you can receive a bounty of 5 gold coins from the kingdom.
For these wandering knights who have no skills or territory and do nothing all day long, this is already a considerable reward.
If you kill a few more snow monsters, you can get a good set of equipment.
Basically, those who sign up for the Demon Hunting Team and can pass are those with the weakest abilities of Knight Squire.
Theoretically, mortals can also kill the snow demon with mithril weapons, but that is too inefficient, and mithril weapons themselves cannot be popularized.
Rather than handing over mithril weapons to mortals, it is better to hand them over to knights, or at least knight attendants, so that they can hunt the snow demon relatively efficiently.
Levi noticed that these wandering knights, regardless of whether they had armor or not, all had a mithril sword. It can be seen that Mithril can restrain the Snow Demon, which is already a well-known thing in the Far North.
However, it is also a mithril weapon,
The purity of their mithril weapons is too low, maybe not even 1%. Such weapons can cause very limited damage to snow monsters. It may take a long time to completely kill a snow monster. It can only be said that it is worse than Iron weapons are stronger and better than nothing.
After all, they are all relatively poor wandering knights, and they bought this mithril after saving for a long time.
At this sight, Levi's sense of superiority immediately came over.
He found that not only was his strength far higher than these people, he stood out from the crowd.
In comparison, his own equipment crushed them.
The purity of his mithril sword is extremely high. After Li Wei's continuous recasting, it has reached almost 50%.
It can be said that Levi's Frostmourne costs thousands of gold coins in mithril alone, which these wandering knights cannot even imagine.
Not to mention Levi's 100% pure frost giant armor.
Such luxurious equipment cannot be justified without killing thousands of snow monsters.
Soon, all the teams that went out of the city to participate in the demon hunting operation were gathered, a total of two hundred people.
Among the two hundred people, knights squires and quasi-knights accounted for the vast majority.
There are only about twenty formal knights, and they are basically low-level knights. There are only a few middle-level knights, and there is only one high-level knight. He is a burly big man wearing a nose ring. Very conspicuous among the crowd.
There is not even a peak knight in the entire team, let alone a great knight.
Seeing this, Li Wei felt relieved a lot.
He has used the Siren Breathing Technique to shrink his bones and change his body shape.
Today, he is 1.8 meters tall and has a normal body shape. He is quite decent and not very conspicuous. Among those strong men with power breathing methods, Levi even looks a bit... petite.
But it was obvious that judging from the aura exuded by Levi, no one dared to underestimate this man wearing the white wolf mask.
Especially Li Wei was accompanied by a strong man who looked very difficult to mess with, so everyone stayed away from Li Wei and did not dare to get close.
In the eyes of these rookies, Levi was at least a high-level knight, and the Demon Shark next to him should be a peak knight.
With such a combination, no one dares to ask for trouble.
This is also the effect that Li Wei wants to achieve. He doesn't want to be too eye-catching and make the tree attract the wind.
But I don’t want to be underestimated by others because of my strength, which will cause some unnecessary trouble.
Not long after, the captain in charge of the demon-hunting operation out of the city walked out of the military camp. He was a captain of the Queen's Guard of the Kingdom of Evernight. He had the strength of a peak knight. This time he was ordered to lead this rabble to hunt. Snow demon.
He glanced at everyone, paused slightly when looking at the Demon Shark and Levi, and then returned to normal.
He coughed and said:
"Dear knights who have come from afar, brave warriors! I am Knight Kader, the captain of this demon hunting operation. First of all, on behalf of Her Royal Highness the Snow Queen, the daughter of God, I would like to express my heartfelt respect to you all!
No matter where you come from or what purpose you come here for, you can stand here bravely today and fight against those evil snow monsters that threaten our human existence!
This move has been approved by Her Majesty the Queen!
After the snow monster is successfully defeated and exterminated, all the warriors who participated in the monster hunting operation will receive awards from Her Majesty the Queen!
This time we are going to the Ice Valley City north of the Royal City, where many people of the kingdom are trapped in the city and are in urgent need of our rescue.
Before setting off, I need to warn everyone that in the wilderness area between Ice Valley City and Ice Snow City, there may be some remnants of snow monsters that have not been wiped out, or even some snow monster lairs.
Don’t fall behind on the road, don’t act without permission, and don’t split up!
There are many snow demons in the snow demon lair, and there may even be snow demons at the level of knights or great knights. Believe me, at the same level, with the mithril swords in your hands that have very little mithril purity, even you No matter how skilled you are, it's hard to be a match for several snow monsters. Before you wear them down little by little, the snow monsters will kill you ten times!
Therefore, do not act without authorization!
Ice Valley City has fallen, and there may be a large number of snow monsters wandering inside. If you want to save your lives and enter the city, follow my command, otherwise don't blame me if you die!
If you still have any questions, you can ask me. If you are afraid, you can quit. If not, we will set off immediately! "
Although the wandering knights would definitely be a very powerful force if they gathered together, the biggest problem is that these people are a group of free and undisciplined people, and disobedience to discipline is the biggest problem.
To hunt down such a terrifying existence as the snow demon, all members must obey the command in order for it to be easy to do.
That's why Knight Cardel came up to emphasize this point again and again, and Levi also agreed with this.
After reorganizing, under the leadership of Knight Cadel, Levi and the others set out towards the outside of the city.
It was freezing and snowy outside, and everyone had prepared enough dry food to prevent them from starving to death in the wilderness.
In a world full of ice and snow, even if you are proficient in hunting, you will still face the embarrassing situation of being unable to make a living without rice.
Therefore, most of their salutes were used to hold dry food.
As for water, there is no shortage of it. If you are thirsty, just eat some snow.
Only Li Wei only brought a little dry food.
Before setting off, Levi had already filled the whale sac.
Under normal circumstances, you won’t starve to death even if you don’t eat or drink for three months.
Even if you have to use the breathing method frequently, it is not difficult to persist for ten days and a half.
It was completely enough for him to go out hunting monsters this time.
Learning the Blood Whale Breathing Technique is Levi's most correct choice. In this era of underdeveloped technology and the lack of legendary storage props, having a whale sac is so convenient!
The team was marching in the cold wind. According to Kader's description, at the current marching speed, it would take about two days to reach Ice Valley City.
The current situation in Ice Valley City is not optimistic. Although the people and the army in the city are working hard to resist the snow demon, their equipment and strength are not good enough. They may not be able to hold on for long in the face of the immortal snow demon.
"Man, my name is Bray, what's your name? We can take care of each other during this operation, hehe." A big man appeared next to Levi, showing his front teeth and smiling, looking a little naive.
But Li Wei knew that as a wandering knight, he could practice to the realm of high-level knights, and there could be no fools. These were most likely just appearances.
"No need, I can take care of myself." Levi refused.
With his strength, there is no need to form a team, as that would only drag him down.
He just needs this team to take him to a place with a large number of snow monsters, and then he will stay there and kill the snow monsters slowly until the mark of hell is exhausted to the limit.
"Uh, okay..." The big man touched his head in embarrassment and left angrily.
He could see that among the two hundred people, except for the Knight Cardel, the real strong ones were him and Levi.
In fact, what Bray liked most was not Li Wei, but the burly man next to Li Wei who was covered in iron armor.
This man may be a real great knight!
If he could hug the great knight's lap, even if he had a sip of soup by his side, he would definitely feel full.
Unfortunately, he was ruthlessly rejected by Li Wei.
On the other side, Kader looked at the movement here, and his heart moved slightly.
Among this group of people, the only thing he couldn't see through was the man in the white wolf mask and the burly man who always followed him.
Both of these people gave him a huge sense of oppression.
So along the way, he was also worried that something would happen to this man.
However, his worries were obviously unnecessary. Levi obeyed the command completely and never ran around.
On the second day, with only one day left to travel to Icewind City, Levi and the others passed by an abandoned castle.
This seems to be the territory of a certain noble, and now, whether it is the castle or the residences outside, it is obvious that they have been abandoned for some time.
"Three years ago, this was a prosperous territory. Until one day, a snow demon appeared in the territory."
Knight Cardel said from the team.
Levi thought about his own Blackwater Valley. If the Snow Demon Rebellion could not be resolved, what the Blackwater Valley would encounter one day in the future would not be any better than this territory.
The severe situation in the Far North was more serious than he imagined.
But already at this time, there is still an endless war between the northern and southern nobles of the Jade Kingdom.
In the afternoon, the team repairs, everyone rests, eats, and meets necessary physiological needs.
After finishing the repairs and counting the number of people, Knight Cardel found that a few people were missing.
"Why haven't they come back after so long?"
"Captain, could it be that you have gone to the tub?" Bray, a talkative man, said.
"Did you play the tuba for so long?" Kader said angrily.
"Everyone else is on standby. Two of you, come with me to check on the situation." Knight Cardel said.
"Me!" Bray raised his hand first, and Kader motioned for him to come over.
Then Kader looked at Levi. He was worried that something had happened to those people, so he wanted to find a strong man to go and see with him.
Levi thought for a moment and raised his hand.
If it's a snow demon, you can collect some undead cores by the way.
Kader nodded and called Levi over.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that wearing this man in the white wolf mask would be more reliable.
"The others are waiting, let's go take a look."
After taking Levi and Bray with him, Kader headed in the direction where the disappeared people just left, while the magic shark was left behind by Levi.
Not long after, they came to a small gathering place.
There were vague sounds of fighting.
Levi immediately became alert, but his spider sense didn't alert him.
There must be no danger.
He placed his hand on Frostmourne, ready to take action at any time.
The same goes for Caddell and Bray.
They moved forward cautiously and slowly entered the village.
"This should also be the territory of a young noble. You two, be careful. There may be a snow demon living here."
Kader said.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, my blood is already boiling." Bray holds the mithril giant ax in his hand, his muscles are tense, and black energy is dormant on his arms. He is a powerful knight.
Kader also drew his mithril sword.
Soon, in the field of vision ahead, an abandoned castle and a deserted village appeared.
There is the corpse of a wandering knight at the entrance of the village. Several snow monsters in ragged clothes, withered bones and flesh, and blue fire eyes are eating the corpse.
"This is the consequences of disobeying orders!" Knight Cardel cursed secretly.
"Help?" Bray asked.
"Don't save them. There are only three at the entrance of the village. There are many more snow monsters inside. Those people are seeking their own death. We can't blame them." Kader said coldly.
Even if he is a peak knight and possesses a mithril sword with good purity, he can only deal with three snow demons at most at one time. If there are more than three, his life will be in danger.
In this small village, listening to the noise, there are probably at least a dozen snow monsters. This is already a small snow monster nest. They are entrenched here, devouring the passing creatures.
Suddenly, Levi noticed something rushing towards him through advanced vibration perception, very fast.
He pulled out Frostmourne and saw a slender, leopard-like monster rushing out.
The monster's chest was empty, and its eyes were burning with blue fire.
Bray was the first to suffer the attack. The monster was extremely fast and lay directly on Bray's upper body, biting Bray. Fortunately, Bray was wearing armor. Although the quality was average, it withstood the monster's attack.
"Damn, this... this is the snow demon after the transformation of the snow leopard." Knight Cardel frowned slightly.
Not only humans can transform into snow monsters, but animals can too.
Creatures like the Snow Demon are similar to Levi's "living dead".
The stronger one was in life, the stronger one will be after alienation.
Ordinary people can kill transformed snow monsters, knight attendants or some strong people with mithril weapons.
And if it is a snow demon transformed from a knight, with its immortality characteristics, a knight-level strongman, unless the mithril sword is very pure, will not be an opponent of the snow demon of the same level.
As for the snow leopard in this world, after it reaches adulthood, although it is only close to the strength of a knight, it is extremely fast and extremely flexible, so it is difficult to deal with the official knights.
At this moment, he transformed into a snow demon and caught Bray by surprise. He roared and threw the snow leopard off him, then raised his giant ax to attack the snow leopard, but the snow leopard dodged it.
"Calm down, don't attract other snow monsters." Kader said with a frown.
"It's too late. We're already here. Get ready to fight." Levi pointed to the entrance of the village. I don't know when there were already thirteen snow monsters. Most of them were humanoid, and a small number were hounds or other animals. The mutated creatures were all emitting a blue light, and they were killing Li Wei and the others at a slow speed.
"Let's go, stop fighting! Lead the large army to the side and kill them with the advantage of large numbers of people. Just relying on us, even if we kill these snow monsters, we will waste a huge amount of energy and pay a high price. We are still far away from our destination. There is still one day left, so we can’t waste our energy here!” As a peak knight, Knight Cardel was so afraid of these snow monsters, which actually surprised Levi.
Knight Kadel unsheathed his sword and struck the snow leopard that rushed towards him with one strike.
The snow leopard was cut off at the waist and howled in pain. There were still traces of burns from the incision, but they were relatively weak.
But soon, blue light filled the air, and the bones were put together again.
Kadel's face was gloomy and he didn't care about the snow leopard. He quickly retreated towards the rear.
After two failures, the snow leopard actually came towards Li Wei.
Without saying a word, Li Wei stabbed Snow Leopard's chest with his sword.
Immediately, the extremely pure Frostmourne burned the snow leopard's body, making it so hot that it kept struggling.
The snow leopard bit at Li Wei and was pinched directly by Li Wei's big black hands.
Click.
Li Wei just exerted a slight force, and the snow leopard's fragile skull was crushed by him!
Stab.
He tore the snow leopard apart from the middle and split it into two.
Then Levi used Frostmourne to pin the Snow Leopard to the ground. He stepped on the left side of the Snow Leopard's body with one foot and stepped on the other side of the Snow Leopard's body with the other foot.
"Let's see how you put it together!"
Levi sneered as Snow Leopard continued to struggle.
He forcefully took out a stone that exuded a faint blue light.
This stone is slightly larger than the stone he got before.
The quality should be better and perhaps provide more energy.
This is the Heart of Frost.
After putting away the Heart of Frost.
Li Wei looked at the snow monsters that were rushing towards him and moved his muscles. To deal with these ordinary snow monsters, he did not need to use high-level combat skills such as the Golden Cross Slash.
Levi used basic swordsmanship and Frostmourne to harvest the lives of these snow monsters.
He violently trampled a snow demon to the ground, crushed its head, and became more and more skillful in taking out the heart of frost.
He also ignored the snow monsters that attacked him.
The surging black energy was burning all around him, and these snow monsters transformed from ordinary people could not break through Li Wei's defense.
He was safe until his strength was exhausted.
For Levi, who has extraordinary endurance, a dozen ordinary snow monsters are not enough to exhaust his energy. At most, they can only warm him up.
In the end, the skeletons of all the snow monsters were scattered on the ground, and Li Wei put away the fourteen hearts of frost with satisfaction. This was 1,400 points of Hell Seal proficiency.
Caddell and Bray's eyes were dull.
They suddenly discovered that compared to the Snow Demon, the man in front of them who called himself Geralt the White Wolf seemed more terrifying...
