Chapter Seventy-Three: Vetanus and the Book of Understanding
The red-haired, hedgehog-headed Vitanus piloted the spaceship to the planet that Lai Jinyi mentioned was still in the Ice Age, which is what the people of the Lavention Cluster call the planet Naintoa.
Unfortunately, at this moment, the highest peak of this planet is shrouded in a powerful storm, in order to avoid the destruction of the spaceship's instruments, which will prevent him from leaving this deserted planet in time, he has to be forced to land in the valley where the storm is relatively mild, get out of the warm cockpit, and rely on his superb flying spells to explore the top of the mountain.
The bitter cold wind covered Vetanus's body with a layer of hoarfrost, but fortunately, the alien prince's race was born with a super high affinity for various elements, which made it easier for them to withstand the cold or heat that earthlings could not tolerate.
As he progressed deeper into the center of the storm, a dense mass of discolored lightning exploded around him, and a deafening explosion would occasionally trigger a small avalanche.
"Fortunately, I didn't waste time in the past and practiced a good skill, otherwise I would definitely die here. Vitanus couldn't help but sigh.
After tossing and turning in the interval of the thunderstorm for more than half an hour, he finally came to the top of the highest peak of Neentoa, what he did not expect was that the moment he stepped on the ice at the top of the mountain, the storm stopped abruptly, the clouds dispersed, the thunder and lightning stopped, and the surrounding sky suddenly became clear, and as far as the eye could see, there were endless snow-capped peaks.
Ahead, in the dark blue ice that rises from the ground, the outline of a large and ornate treasure chest can be faintly seen.
Vetanus was overjoyed and immediately rushed forward, a gray greatsword suddenly appeared in his palm, and with a sweep, the dark blue ice was shattered.
The chest slipped out of it, and Vitanus held on to the edge of the chest, and just as he was about to open the chest and take the book of knowledge as the key, suddenly, the whole iceberg began to shake violently.
Before he could react, a bottomless ice valley suddenly cracked under his feet, and the treasure chest containing the Book of Knowledges immediately fell into it, and he wanted to swoop down to catch the treasure chest, but he saw a huge dark blue ice hand stretched out in the dark ice valley and held the treasure chest firmly.
Sensing that something was wrong, Wetanuston immediately flew into the air, distanced himself from the giant hand, and went on high alert.
At this moment, the highest peak of Neentoa had been split into two halves, and in the middle of the mountain, a frost giant without a head and with long facial features on his chest staggered out of it, and he looked at Vitanus and said:
"I am here to guard the treasure key under the orders of the overlord of the star cluster, and if you want to get the key, you must defeat me, otherwise, die!"
The Frost Giant opened its jaws and unleashed a frost storm at Vitanus.
The latter did not dodge, but summoned a meteorite to open the way, quickly approaching the giant, and a lava spear gradually condensed in his hand, ready to pierce the enemy's frosty body at any moment.
However, he underestimated the speed of the giant's reaction, and saw the behemoth immediately plunge its hand into the iceberg, rip out two huge rocks the size of a building, and throw them at Vitanus one after the other.
The first boulder was killed by the meteorite in front of Vetanus, who was unable to dodge and was hit by the second boulder, carrying it to the ridge in the distance.
The four princes who were hit hard did not lose consciousness, and immediately flew away from the boulder and entered a state of stealth to rest for a while.
In his vision, the Frost Giant leaped high and clenched its fist towards the boulder it thought had Vetanus.
The boulder slammed into the ridge and was shattered by the falling giant's fists.
Seeing this, Vetanus couldn't help but choke in his throat, if he hadn't been able to get out of the boulder just now, he would have turned into a puddle of flesh by now.
The giant let out a triumphant roar at the sky, letting his guard down for a moment. Sensing the moment, Vetanus sped up behind the giant, slashing down with the Blade of Extreme Heat.
The Frost Giant sensed the approaching heat, and turned around and used his arm to block the fiery red sword qi that was about 100 meters long.
The fire collided with the ice, forming a cloud of water vapor that filled the sky, and the giant's huge hand was melted alive.
Relieved, Vetanus hid his form again and prepared for his next sneak attack.
The severed arm of the giant did not panic too much, but saw it plunge its severed right arm along its elbow into the underground ice, and after a few moments, it pulled it upwards with all its might, and as if by magic, its right arm became new and intact.
Vitanus was shocked when he saw this, this place is full of ice and snow, there are too many resources that giants can use, and they were originally giants made of ice, and it is easy to recover.
It would be nice to be able to take the battlefield to a place where there is no snow and ice, but the planet also happens to be in the peak of its ice age.
I have to think of a solution, the fourth prince pondered for a while, and suddenly inspiration came.
He lowered to the ground, palms pressed against the ice, and began to probe in some way, and within a minute, he stood up confidently, confirmed his direction, and threw a lava spear to attract the attention of the frost giant, while quickly fleeing in the direction of his target.
The giant followed closely behind, throwing several large rocks from time to time in an attempt to knock Vitanus down, but the latter did not give him a chance this time, and skillfully dodged every incoming rock.
More than half an hour passed, and the snow on the surrounding peaks began to decrease sharply, and the frost giant did not realize that he had unknowingly entered an area of extremely high geological activity at the junction of tectonic plates, which is commonly known as the volcanic earthquake zone.
Vetanus looked down in the air, made a few selections, stopped in front of a volcano filled with magma, and turned back to the pursuing Frost Giants in a provocative shrug and eye-rolling, as if to say, "You're too slow to catch up with me!"
The giant glared angrily, roared and leaped to his feet, and threw a brutal punch at Vitanus, who immediately used a teleportation to dodge the tsunami-like punch.
Only then did the Frost Giant notice that he had been tricked, and the mountain in front of him was full of his nemesis, volcanic lava.
This punch is no different from a human using a lighter to light an oil drum, it is an act of self-destruction, the giant wants to stop, but it is too late, due to inertia, his entire body violently slammed into the volcanic mountain, and after a loud bang that shook the world, he had to bear the wrath of the earth.
The crimson lava poured out, covering the giant's body in an instant, and a cyclone of white vapor filled all the surrounding mountains, followed by the wails of the frost giants.
Vetanus was not idle, and he began to throw the magically condensed lava spear at the giant's position non-stop.
As the world passed by a minute, he heard the giant's wail fade until it vanished.
Then, he noticed a shimmering and broken book slowly rising from the thick cloud of water vapor, and Vitanus immediately swooped down and clutched it in his hand.
At the same time, the voice of the frost giant came to his ears.
"You defeated me, and you are entitled to this book. ”
"Whew. Vetanus furrowed his brow and let out a long breath.
After returning to the valley where he had docked earlier, and after painstakingly digging out the spaceship buried by the avalanche, he piloted the spaceship back to the heptagon building and took the Book of Knowledge to the corresponding stone gate.
The groove in the stone door seemed to have a strange attraction to the book, and with an inexplicable force, the book of knowledge was pulled directly out of Vetanus's hand and embedded in the groove.
Immediately after, with only a "click", the stone door slowly opened, and a narrow staircase appeared in front of him.
Walking up the stairs, he noticed an altar in the middle of the small room in front of him, and on the altar was placed an orange gem that emitted a little fluorescent.
As Vitanus stepped into the altar, he saw a string of words written on the bronze pedestal where the gems were placed.
"Collect seven Rainbow Gems to get the right to the throne. ”
With a smile on his face, he picked up the orange gem and pocketed it, and returned to the lawn of the heptagonal building, waiting for the next instructions from the self-proclaimed "patron saint."
At the same time, on Earth an unknown number of light years away, Li Jinyi has recovered from the sense of detachment caused by the summoning ceremony, and is ready to go to Lighthouse City to find the senior sister to get the camera back.
In the Cloud Peak Star Island, only 3 battle points can get a full-day rental of a spaceship, before he brought it into the Void Invasion, the rental price of the currencies of various countries was converted, and the value of 1 battle point was about equal to 12 grams of gold, but this is just a speculation, you still have to go to the Beacon City Exchange to ask, after all, I don't know why on the mobile app, there is no news about the relevant exchange rate.
When he came to Lighthouse City, he first went to the exchange to confirm the exchange rate.
The staff told him that in order to prevent someone from farming data, gold and star soul crystals cannot be exchanged for battle points, but battle points can be exchanged for the first two, which are 1 to 12.73 grams and 1 to 100 grams respectively. As for why there is no exchange rate information on the mobile app, the explanation given by the staff is that the official does not encourage this kind of exchange behavior, and as for the reason, the staff also shook their heads.
Knowing that the Star Soul Crystal could not be used to exchange for battle points, Li Jinyi felt much more relaxed, and the "little devil" in his heart who only wanted to take the Star Soul Ore Vein of Cloud Peak Star Imperial Island as his own disappeared completely.
Walking out of the exchange, Li Jinyi made a rough calculation, according to the description of the news in the alliance, the task of eradicating low-level Void generals will reward about 50-150 points each time, the intermediate level is between 150-1000, and the high-level is above 1000. The last Twin Demon Lord mission was rewarded with 441 battle points, but he obviously couldn't cope with it and almost died, for now, he can probably only complete the task of about 200 points reward relatively safely, so he only needs to do it again...... After 100 missions, he can return Yin Yuyao's three Star Soul Blood, which used to cost more than 10 million, and start saving money for himself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless and a little stunned.
After taking a few steps, his thoughts turned, and he suddenly realized that the idea just now was very inferior, and he almost slapped himself in the face.
"It's a noble ideal to save the planet when I go on a mission, and I actually associate it with money, and my consciousness has regressed. He pursed his lips.
"It must be the reason for the influence of that magic sword. He then muttered again.
