With his soul body Xiao Qian on his back, Bai Gu rode his horse through the wind and snow.
She pulled the reins, controlled the horse's pace, and let it go very slowly.
It stands to reason that those who sit on horses should move quickly and rush quickly.
But she doesn't, because she rides the horse to seduce the snow monster.
Behind her, Simon led the team to follow, about ten meters away.
The two walked up the mountain one after the other.
During the ascent, the wind and snow gradually increased, and the sound of wind filled my ears.
The equestrian figure in front was covered by the snow, and the figure was blurred. The weird illusion from the last time appeared again.
The figure on the horse seemed to melt into the heaven and earth. When Simon quickened his pace to catch up, the thing walking in front of him was not a horseman.
Its outline is very fat. Although you can't see clearly what it is, you can vaguely feel that the other person's hair is very thick.
When I saw something like this, the image of a snow monster popped into my mind.
However, Simon looked at the life substitute next to Baitang, made a gesture, and asked about his status.
Bones' life substitute shook his head, indicating that it was okay.
At this moment, only a few minutes have passed.
According to the actual distance, it was only two hundred meters.
Going up, the wind resistance on the legs is much greater, and each step takes longer to reach the ground.
Combined with the changes in the shadows ahead, Simon realized that the influence of the environmental mechanism had taken effect.
First, exclude the option of the snow monster appearing, because the life avatar said that nothing was wrong, which proved that her body did not feel any discomfort.
Transformation skills generally cause extremely obvious changes in the flesh and blood body, usually accompanied by nausea, swelling, severe pain, or extreme emotional states such as bliss, which are used to deal with various discomforts caused by excessive body transformation.
Then there is only one answer left, environmental mechanisms are influencing.
Therefore, Simon pressed down Little Shark's skills and did not let her activate her skills to find wild monsters.
There is a gap period for skills, so it is better to wait until the snow monster appears.
The group of people continued to move forward, and the back of the snow monster in front of them became blurred until it disappeared.
At this time, Simon quickened his pace, leading the team forward, closing the distance, and once again saw the dark figure ahead.
This time, the black shadow of the snow monster in the wind and snow became even bigger. The hill-like back was about five meters high. It was clearly the height of a bone before, but now it has grown to create a sense of fear through its giant size.
Little Shark and Bai Tang were obviously nervous. They wanted to test the skill again, but Simon still held it down.
"It's an illusion, don't believe it." Simon stared ahead, firmly believing in his counter-intuition.
The two people next to him didn't know anything. Simon's inner intuition was very strong, and he was 100% told that the guy in front of him was a snow monster, not a skeleton!
However, he chose not to trust his instincts.
This sounds ridiculous.
Simon, who was obviously born in spiritual attribute skills, didn't trust his own intuition.
At this moment, Little Shark's keen intuition was already frantically reminding her that there was a snow monster in front of her, not a teammate.
She resisted her impulse and listened to Simon's words. She did not activate the Mind Eye skill and only used her own talent to passively perceive.
Except for Nanny Baitang, Simon and Little Shark were all going against their own instincts, feeling extremely uncomfortable and suffering internally.
But on the other hand, if the snow monster really led the way, they would have been attacked by the snow monster in turn, and it would be impossible for them to live in peace like this.
At this time, Simon looked at the substitute possessed by Bai Tang and asked, "How do you feel now?"
The life avatar cannot speak, but can communicate with Simon in sign language through the sign language knowledge it has learned in a few months.
After some simple sign language communication, Simon learned about Bai Gu's physical condition.
Physically, she didn't feel very cold, but there was a cold light on her back, as if something dangerous was chasing her.
Xiao Qian's soul body attached to the white bones saw no abnormalities. Looking back, she only saw the darkness hidden in the gap between the wind and snow, and there seemed to be a strange figure walking forward.
"Keep it up and continue driving slowly." Simon said calmly.
The life substitute nodded.
Little Shark didn't understand and asked: "Why don't you let her stop and we go up to confirm her status."
“When we couldn’t physically touch her, what we observed was the appearance of a monster.
"If we actually come into contact with the bones, the observed appearance is the original true appearance of the bones, that is, the human appearance.
"So if we contact her now, it will only interrupt the influence of the environmental mechanism."
The little shark seems to understand but not quite, it feels so profound.
"In other words, if we weren't trying to catch the snow monster, we could have moved closer to the bones."
"Yes." Simon nodded.
Little Shark realized that it was so.
However, this environmental mechanism really left her speechless. It was the first time she experienced this specious cognitive influence mechanism.
If Simon hadn't led the team to study the mechanism, the Snow Mountain team might have died in civil strife halfway through the climb.
This time there was no team of passers-by, so the walking speed was a little faster. About half an hour after setting off, I felt that the wind pressure in front of me had jumped to a higher level. Simon had a tendency to fall back when he lifted his feet for the first time. .
Fortunately, Simon stabilized himself.
The warrior Little Shark next to him was naturally able to hold his own, but Bai Tang was not so stable and was blown down by the wind when he took a step.
Fortunately, a substitute stepped in behind her and supported her waist with huge arms.
By this time, the snow monster had not yet appeared.
Does it mean that the transformation skills that Simon imagined do not exist? Are the sword wounds that the little shark hit Torre all fake?
Simon looked ahead. The figure representing the snow monster had become extremely huge and dark, as if a giant was stepping forward, bringing invisible oppression.
If one's own star level is still at the three-star level, just seeing the giant black shadow in the wind and snow will make one feel fearful, leading to confusion.
In a difficult environment, if there is only a slight mistake, a small mistake may turn into a big mistake, and a big mistake may ruin the entire team.
Simon calmed his breathing on the spot.
His intuitive senses still reminded him strongly that that was a snow monster, that was an elite monster, and that was an enemy.
This intuitive sense is about ten times stronger than when I first felt it.
"Do you feel it?" Simon asked the little shark next to him.
The wind and snow were very loud, but fortunately all three of them were four-stars and had good hearing.
As long as you get close enough, you can hear what Simon said clearly.
"I feel the terrible influence of intuitive cognition. If I believe it, I will be tricked."
Little Shark took a deep breath. Facing the giant black shadow in front of her, an extremely strong murderous intention flashed through her heart.
It was a body that had experienced hundreds of battles, and the murderous intention subconsciously generated towards the enemy.
However, she knew that the front was not the enemy, but her teammates on horseback.
"Yeah, if you encounter a sudden battle here, as long as you haven't adapted to the counter-intuitive battle, you will subconsciously swing the butcher knife at your teammates in the wind and snow.
“If her teammate is a heavy shielder, she can’t die.
"If your teammates are squishy, they will be hacked to death by the warrior who uses his ultimate sword." Simon sighed.
He already knew what the difficulty was on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
This is the reason why there is no news from previous mountaineering teams.
Even if the mountaineering team is aware of the unnatural mechanism of the snow-capped mountains, as long as they make a momentary mistake and follow the body's instinctive survival response, they may accidentally injure their teammates.
On the top of the snow-capped mountains, who is the teammate and who is the enemy will be the decisive factor in victory.
Restraint training for instinctive reactions is the next focus that the snow mountain adventure group needs to overcome.
