The dizziness faded away, and when he opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him had completely changed.

"Oh, why is it so cold?"

Chen Yuzheng sat down in the snow. The snow was falling heavily, and Chen Yu's butt sunk into the snowdrift for a full ten centimeters.

He quickly climbed up holding his chest and looked around.

In front of me is an endless expanse of white. The cold wind whistled continuously from all directions, causing Chen Yu to shiver.

"Damn it, how are you playing?"

Chen Yu just took a step forward and almost fell to the ground again.

When I was feeling angry, I took a quick look and saw a new buff in the status bar.

Curse of Snow Country: Reduce agility by 20% (Snow Country is cold and ruthless, if you fail to find shelter from the cold within twenty minutes, you will die in this endless Snow Country)!

Chen Yu's expression instantly became serious. When he opened the attribute panel, he saw that his agility had indeed been reduced by 20% of 5 points, leaving only 4 points.

Decreased agility was not the biggest problem. Chen Yu took out the Shadow Bone Blade, and after a moment of accumulating power, he shot out a shadow attack.

"Phew, not bad!"

Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put down the dagger.

Fortunately, this negative gain does not affect the 5 points of agility required for the sneak attack, otherwise this trip to the Demon Realm would definitely be full of crises.

Looking around, there was endless white.

Chen Yu couldn't help but become anxious.

The curse of the snow country says that if you can't find a shelter from the cold for twenty minutes, you will definitely get nothing good.

But right now, there is a vast expanse of snow all around. It is hard to tell whether there is anyone there, let alone a shelter from the cold.

Chen Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in his heart, but regretting it was of no use at the moment. An idea suddenly came to my mind.

By the way, information!

Chen Yu suddenly remembered the information that Mark Rabbit had sent previously, and now that there was no other way, he hurriedly checked it.



It took a full five minutes for Chen Yu to finally go through the information completely.

According to the information, this place is called Ice and Snow Demonic Field.

The place Chen Yu is going to next is a small village called "Kaifeng Village" located two kilometers north of the teleportation point.

After opening the map and confirming the direction, Chen Yu immediately felt the wind at his feet and headed towards the pioneer village at full speed.

It was a blizzard now, and the extremely cold air and constant strong winds slowed down Chen Yu's action efficiency to a great extent.

As a result, Chen Yu's journey, which originally took less than ten minutes, took nearly fifteen minutes.

When the progress bar of the Curse of the Snow Country read to the last minute, Chen Yu ignored the knocking on the door, pushed open the door of one of the houses in the village, and rushed in.

"so close……"

It was almost over time. Chen Yu was panting and feeling a lingering fear in his heart when a panicked voice suddenly came from in front of him:

"Who are you?"

Chen Yu quickly took two steps back and raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.

It seemed that he accidentally broke into a tavern that was open.

It seems that due to the weather, there are many customers in the tavern.

The tavern is not big, and there is a circular stove in the middle that is big enough for three adults to surround themselves.

There was a lot of firewood burning in the stove, and the flames burned the firewood wantonly, making the sound of firewood popping from time to time.

A chimney leads directly to the outside, and there are many Mai residents with different faces sitting closer to the stove.

A woman dressed as a waiter collapsed on the ground, with drinks and trays scattered aside.

There was a look of horror on her face, as if she was frightened by Chen Yu's sudden visit.

"Everyone, don't panic! I am a special investigator here to investigate the northern demons!"

Chen Yu shouted loudly before the bearded NPCs behind him pulled out their knives.

After hearing the words "Special Investigator", the expressions of the NPCs in the tavern obviously became much more relaxed.

Chen Yu hurried forward, gently helped the waitress who fell to the ground, and picked up the tray along the way.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The waitress took the tray and stepped back timidly, muttering thank you.

Chen Yu couldn't help but smile awkwardly, having already cursed ten thousand times in his heart.

Damn it, I look pretty and charming, why are you so afraid of me?

Although there were still some curious eyes on Chen Yu, the special investigator who suddenly visited on a snowy day, most people had already turned their heads and continued drinking.

Chen Yu made a calculation in his mind and was already sitting in a remote corner. Next to him is the waitress who was frightened by Chen Yu just now.

"May I have your name?"

Chen Yu rubbed his fingers, turned his head and asked.

"Nana."

Nana answered timidly, and Chen Yu couldn't help but smile dumbly, and then said:

"Please give me some food that can warm me up. If it's alcohol, I won't drink it. Please help me switch to hot drinks."

Considering that drunkenness would cause trouble, Chen Yu snapped his fingers and gave instructions in a low voice.

After sending Nana away, Chen Yu couldn't help but think about the cracked wall in front of him.

According to the information from the first three investigators, this mission in the Demon Realm seems to be to investigate the so-called "Magic Rebellion Case."

It turns out that this pioneer village was a very livable place a year ago with birds singing and flowers fragrant.

Three years ago, the first wave of immigrants came to this undeveloped land and established a pioneer village.

Since then, a steady stream of immigrants have come from all over to join this big family.

The pioneer village gradually became prosperous, and once developed into a well-known trade transfer station.

Merchants from many races and countries are trading goods here.

But for some reason, in the winter a year ago, the temperature in the area where the pioneer village is located dropped sharply.

At first, people in the pioneer village thought it was just an ordinary cold disaster and didn't take it seriously.

But this cold disaster lasted throughout the winter, and it did not get better at all until the beginning of the following spring.

As a result, Kaifeng Village slowly became withered. Many residents could not bear the temperature and chose to move away.

Those who are still staying in Kaifeng Village can be roughly divided into two groups.

One group is the first wave of elders who came to this land and established the pioneer village.

One group is the poor who have no money to move out and can only endure here.

The residents of the pioneer village were not idle. They sent hunters out many times to search for the cause. Finally, they found some clues and pointed the finger at a group of demon spirits located in the north of the village.

Players who enter the Demonic Realm play the role of an investigative messenger specially dispatched by the Kingdom Central Committee to investigate demonic matters.

Suddenly, there was a sound of brisk footsteps in his ears, interrupting Chen Yu's thinking. When he raised his head, it was Nana walking over with a hot meal.

Nana put the meals down one by one.

A burst of aroma suddenly wafted into Chen Yu's nose, and Chen Yu's greedy body squirmed - hot roasted potatoes, roasted rabbit meat, and butter beer!

Chen Yu suddenly felt good and showed a grateful smile to Nana.

This really startled Nana and she quickly shrank back.

"Come on, I'm very happy to reward you!"

Chen Yuzhong took out three copper coins from his backpack and slapped them on the table.

Nana's eyes lit up, but she stepped forward very carefully and stuffed the copper coins into her apron.

He stepped back and his expression became much happier.

"Nana, I have a question to ask you!"

Looking at Nana's back as she prepared to leave, Chen Yu suddenly had a plan in mind and hurriedly spoke.
