Located on the northern frontier of the Empire, it was a poor region that was very unsuitable for human habitation, both in terms of climate and land.

Relentless snow storms, permafrost so barren that no plants can grow, and powerful and dangerous species that can kill people at any time.

and, alien races that may cross the border to plunder everywhere.

It can be said that spreading branches in this place is simply a dead end.

Therefore, no matter how miserable the life of the people of the empire is, no matter how dark and inactive the people of the empire are, no one wants to escape to this place that nominally belongs to the empire, but in fact everyone tacitly ignores it.

In fact, this place has no other purpose than to exile criminals, but today there is an uninvited guest on this ice and snow plain.

The cold wind continues to whistle between the heavens and the earth, the crystal snowflakes flutter in the air like elves, and everything is dyed white, and the sky is rare to clear and reveal the long-lost warm sun, under the golden sunshine, it is to make this snow-covered everything look unusually beautiful.

If there is a poet here, he may be interested in reciting a poem from Jing Shenggan, but in fact, although it looks warm now, it is actually a severe cold of more than minus 20 degrees, even if Su Yu releases his spiritual power to protect this fragile [body], but even so, he can still feel a burst of coldness, this feeling is like when the air conditioner is turned on to 16th gear in the room.

The roar of unknown creatures could be heard in the distance, and it seemed that not only humans were in such weather, but even the dangerous species that had huddled in the caves due to the blizzard had come out to bask in the sun and hunt for food.

Of course, in such a dangerous world, even if they are hunters and prey, their fixed identities do not exist from the beginning.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, here the law of the jungle to the extreme.

In fact, since Su Yu entered here, he has encountered no less than three waves of monster attacks.

A surprisingly large blue-eyed bird with sharp claws, a white wolf the size of a bison, and a meandering ice dozens of meters long......

If these monsters are placed on the earth, they will at least have the strength of no less than the third order, and as for the last one that stands up as tall as a skyscraper, the Ice Flame Python, except that he did not feel the unique domain of the lord, Su Yu felt that it was no different from the ordinary lord.

Even if he was once in the legend, he can't get any benefit from going head-to-head with this kind of existence now, the strength of the summoner who doesn't summon the beast is ten or nine, no matter how clever the alchemy is, it can't make up for the gap in strength, but fortunately, Su Yu avoided it early before meeting these monsters.

After walking for a long time, Su Yu probably found out the strength of the creatures in this place, should it be said that those who can survive in such a harsh place are really not vegetarians?

Along the way, he didn't find a single one below the second order, even the existence of the ice scorpion was at least the second order, and in some places, there was an aura that was many times more powerful than the ice mangs he had encountered before.

In this environment, even Su Yu had to be careful everywhere, avoid stepping on thunder, and dodge if he could, but he really couldn't avoid selective kills.

But then again, while this place is full of dangers, there are also opportunities.

The minions of monsters can be used to refine sharp swords, the scale armor can be used to make high-quality magic armor, and the flesh can be eaten to strengthen the body.

If it was the past, Su Yu wouldn't mind hunting here, collecting cheap souls, and exercising this thin body by the way, although he might encounter a little trouble, but it was still no problem to retreat with his whole body, and even as long as he was given enough time, he could completely kill the skyscraper-like ice recklessness he had encountered before, and remove all its scales and refine it into a set of close-fitting soft armor.

Trust the perseverance and determination of a dark summoner and alchemist here.

But Su Yu didn't do it.

"Trial Mission 1: Defeat the Guardians of the Northern Ice Fields"

"Time: 24 hours"

"Exceeding the time limit will be considered a mission failure, being killed by a Guardian will be considered a mission failure, and being killed by a monster will be considered a mission failure"

"Quest Reward: Randomly Obtain a Future Ability for the Opposing Character"

"Failure Penalty: Uncharted Realm Permanently Closed, Challenger Lifespan -20 Years"

"Guardians, please explore and find yourself"

Su Yu doesn't have a lot of time, so he doesn't want to waste his precious time on hunting that can be carried out at any time in the future, this vast ice field, even if he wants to find the so-called guardian with great powers, it seems to be weak and abnormal, plus he has to be distracted and vigilant against monsters that will suddenly attack from under the snow and in the sky all the time, and half a day has passed unconsciously.

"Guardian ......"

Stopping his walking body, Su Yu touched his smooth chin and muttered, his eyes full of thought.

It stands to reason that things like secret realms are tasks that can never be promulgated by intruders, and as the existence of a place of inheritance, it pays more attention to the investigation of the three aspects of morality, intellect and body of intruders.

There are all kinds of strange ways to investigate, such as giving you an army and asking you to attack a well-guarded bunker within a certain period of time, giving you a novice wooden stick that looks useless and letting you kill the sea monster hidden in the sea regardless of the method, giving you some ingredients that look abnormal, making you make a cucumber dish that can make a woman eat cucumber, and this very zombie trial that makes you pull out a big gun and work hard to plow the land......

In short, in the previous life, Su Yu had seen a variety of strange ways of investigation, even eating and drinking urine, and it was completely normal to fight a monster or something, but fortunately, the secret realm and the ruins are not the same, there is no such thing as death, even if he dies in the secret realm for some reason, after leaving the secret realm, at most his soul will be damaged, and he will not be able to get out of bed for several days.

Su Yu in the previous life had not challenged the secret realm, but due to the particularity of the secret realm, even if he was a master of the dark summoning technique, he could not get any benefits in it.

It's different from the ruins of whoever has the big fist and who is the father, and it's not the same as the advent of the place where there is milk and the mother, the secret realm is about a fairness, that is to say, what is your strength, and what challenges you will face.

But this is about to lead to a place where the secret realm is extremely depressing, even now that he thinks about it, Su Yu feels a headache, plus a trace of helplessness.

It is true that the secret realm will issue tasks according to strength, but the tasks here are not only from strength, but also from psychological and other aspects, and the knowledge involved cannot be mastered even by the knowledgeable Su Yu.

In the last life, the secret realm he entered was a place called,'Absolute dimension',The first scene of the challenge scene is to help a game company that is going to go bankrupt to make a work that brings it back to life.,It's worth mentioning that this company is full of young and beautiful girls.,And Su Yu's identity is a college student who has a strong interest in galgame......

Su Yu failed, he was completely defeated, and he could even be said to be desperate, he didn't even understand why he failed.

First: I fully complied with the company's rules and regulations, and I didn't do anything to a girl when I went to and from work on time.

Second: I worked hard to investigate the market trend, so that they could develop from vulgar tastes to high-end aspects.

Third: I did my own propaganda work very well, and I usually worked overtime for production.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't use any unnatural power in this scene, Su Yu really wanted to make all those foolish people who didn't understand the truth, goodness and beauty into rotten puppets, and then strip their souls out as nourishment for the Soul Suppression Tower.

In short, that failure caused Su Yu to suffer a lot of injuries at that time, and the most important point was that due to the unknown punishment, it seemed that even the contract with the beast he summoned was loosened.

The secret realm represents an opportunity that can be encountered but cannot be sought, and it is a glimmer of life given by God to humans and aliens to fight.

"So, I seem to be thinking something wrong."

Just after Su Yu was thinking for a while, a new enemy appeared again, and the mirror-like ice lake was broken at once, and the blue tentacles swung straight at Su Yu.

Although he and Su Yu thought about it more than ten meters away, it was so fast that people couldn't react when they stretched and shrunk, looking at the countless suction cups hanging upside down, I was afraid that once the prey fell in, it would not be able to break free.

The monster is very fast, but someone is faster than it, and the moment the tentacle broke through the ice, the blue flames were already all over Su Yu's body, and the moment it rolled up, it spread rapidly like gasoline from firewood, and almost at the same time, the smell of grilled squid meat wafted to the tip of Su Yu's nose.

"Is this guy also a squid? No, maybe it's better to say that it's an octopus, really, should it be said that it's a dangerous world? ”

Shaking his head helplessly, looking at the huge tentacles that bounced off after grabbing his body, Su Yu waved his hand, and the steel wires full of death force strangled out.

……

A few minutes later.

Looking at the ice surface that had been completely shattered, and the octopus the size of a small room on the shore, Su Yu leaned down and gasped slightly, his clothes looked a little messy, but there was a faint tiredness in his eyes.

"Does a mere octopus even have the strength of a third-level high?"

Once again, Su Yu felt that he was weak now, if he wanted to die, such an ant didn't need to take action by himself at all, any puppet under his hand could easily clean it up, and the existence of a miscellaneous fish made him so embarrassed.

Let's hope my guess is correct......

Looking at the still snowy and uninhabited plain ahead, after a little rest, Su Yu got up again, this time his target was the big octopus that had only its body left.

Coming to the dead giant octopus, Su Yu slowly stretched out his hand, and then pressed it on its slippery body.

"Devour it"

The next moment, the firelight flickered, and the huge body quickly dried up, and Su Yu's face was visibly rosy to the naked eye, and even the wound on his shoulder was much better.

clenched his fist, and sure enough, as he thought, although the flesh and blood sacrifice refining method in the previous life was useless to the incarnate lich who majored in soul cultivation, but now it is of great help.

Su Yu could feel that although his soul had not grown in this short time, this body was much stronger than before, and he had already advanced from a student to an adult strong man.

But in fact, if you look at it from the outside world, Su Yu is actually still the same weak and weak appearance has not changed in the slightest.

"Intruder, who allowed you to hunt my prey here?"

A slightly familiar crisp female voice came from not far away, which made Su Yu, who felt the changes in his body, his pupils shrink slightly, and he turned around, and at some point, a figure that made him feel familiar had appeared behind him.

Ice hair and blue eyes, smiling at the corners of his mouth, looking at the world only for himself.

After seeing her full picture clearly, Su Yu, who has always been mature and steady and reads majestic writing, couldn't help but lose his voice:

"Estes?! Didn't you die in battle, why are you here!? ”
