Over the lake.

A silver battleship broke through the clouds and flew rapidly to the northwest.

"Grandpa Mead, when are they coming back, uncle?"

"Don't worry, soon."

Meade, the butler, stood at the gate of the manor, looking up at the battleship in the distance, and beside him was the little minotaur Dugu.

Barr leaned on the railing and watched.

"Don't worry, Meade, they will take good care of Xiao Dugu." Erin walked over and said.

"Hmm." Barr nodded.

"Your Highness Erin, I wonder where the entrance to this fifth courtyard is?" Doss, Leviathan, and Sophia walked over, and Barr listened.

"The entrance is in the Arctic ice field, guarded by the Ice Giants." Erin said.

"Arctic ice sheet."

Barr's heart was also moved after hearing this.

The Arctic Ice Sheet was also famous in previous lives, and was a gathering place for the Ice Giants, one of the rare races of the Orc Empire. The Ice Giant was born as an elite template, and when he became an adult, he was more than ten meters tall, and not only had strong physical strength, but could also manipulate frost-based spells, making it a very powerful race.

However, most of the rare races like this are sparsely populated.

Moreover, among the Ice Giants, there has never been a lord-level powerhouse. Although the individual strength is relatively strong, the overall strength of the group is very average, and now the Ice Giants are a subsidiary race of the Lionmen, protected by the Lion Clan, and they also have to fight for the Leon Clan.

"I heard that the Arctic ice sheet is very special, and if you can live in it for a long time, your physical strength will slowly increase." Leviathan on the side said with interest.

"Oh, it can increase physical strength?" Doss was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Leviathan is right."

"The special environment of the Arctic ice field does have the effect of increasing physical strength." Erin smiled slightly, "But the process is very slow, and the improvement is not much, so it is of little use to us." The entrance to this fifth courtyard is in the icy lake in the western part of the Arctic ice field. ”

"I've heard of the Ice Lake, and I've heard that there are many strange floating islands floating above the lake, and I didn't think that the entrance to the Fifth Courtyard would be there." Leviathan Connected.

"Well, we're heading to one of the floating islands this time."

Erin continued, "There is a city on the island founded by the Ice Giants, Ice City, and the entrance to the ruins is just below the floating island. ”

......

At the same time that Barr, Erin and the others were rushing to the Arctic ice field, the other six parties were already on their way.

Hundreds of kilometers northeast of Larkana, a huge battleship several hundred meters long flew high in the sky, judging from the insignia on the outside of the battleship, this battleship should belong to the Duke of Sok of the Tiger People.

On the deck in front of the battleship, there were dozens of figures.

In the middle of the crowd was a handsome tiger man in a blue robe, it was the second son of Duke Soke-Randolph, and beside him stood two men and one woman, all of whom looked like young nobles of the Tiger Clan.

"Randolph, I didn't expect that this time you not only found Rhodes from the werewolf clan, but also invited the masters of the elf clan. Presumably, this bloodline evolution pool, you are determined to win. Next to him, a tiger boy with a Chinese character face and a resolute face said.

"You can only do your best."

Randolph said modestly, "After all, the bloodline evolution pool is very rare, and having strength is one thing, but luck is another. ”

"This fifth courtyard has been open for thousands of years, and the locations where it is possible to condense the bloodline evolution pool have basically been explored by various families. If you want to encounter a new location, the chances are not very high. In the end, it is still up to strength to speak. The tiger girl holding a staff on the side also said.

"Chloe has a point."

"This time, our Tiger Clan has four parties to enter, and the Lion Clan has three parties."

"Among the lion clans, Erin and Rachel have always been at odds, and the rest is the son of Marquis Ness, Ode." Another tigerman boy in silver heavy armor said, "Marquis Ness is the Queen's uncle, and Ode should be on Rachel's side." ”

"That Oude, it's not worth mentioning at all." The Tiger Maiden sneered, "The strength is so bad, his father spent a great deal of money to barely let him step into the elite level, and as for his followers, they are all low-level leaders.

"In terms of overall strength, our Tiger Race has an absolute advantage."

"Yes, among the younger generation of the lion people, there are not many decent characters at all." The young man with the face of the Chinese character spoke up, "Since His Majesty Hebrew ascended the throne, these lion men have either been greedy for pleasure or only interested in fighting for power and profit. In this empire, sooner or later, it is our Tiger People who have the final say. ”

"Don't be too optimistic, you guys."

"Have you forgotten the minotaur named Baal? His strength is unfathomable. Randolph reminded.

"We haven't seen the Minotaur make a move, and it's hard to determine his true strength based on the information we have in hand. However, since he was able to defeat Rupert easily, he still had to be careful if he wanted to be amazingly powerful. The heavy-armored young man said with a solemn face.

"Since Duke DeWitt, the Minotaur clan has produced many geniuses over the years, and I can't imagine that there is another one now." The tiger girl sighed, a DeWitt has already made the lion and tiger clans uneasy, coupled with these endless geniuses, it is no wonder that the high-level leaders of the two clans are so jealous of the Minotaur clan.

"The Minotaur clan, since DeWitt became the patriarch, has become more and more powerful." The young man with the face of the national character also said.

"In front of the orc gods, the lord-level DeWitt is nothing." The tiger girl chuckled.

"Well, that's not our business." Randolph said, "Our target this time is the Bloodline Evolution Pool, and this fifth courtyard is also full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. ”

"Hmm."

"Not bad."

The other three also nodded, the game between the high-level leaders of these ethnic groups was indeed not something that their younger generation could interfere in.

......

And the other place.

There is also a warship flying the flag of the Empire, heading for the Arctic ice field.

The fifteenth prince, Rachel, stood at the front of the deck, followed by a tigerman boy with a sycophant face, surrounded by eight orc professionals, and the lionman genius Rupert was among them.

"Rupert, what's wrong with you in the past two days, maybe you were scared by that minotaur." Randolph looked at Aubert and frowned slightly, since he had returned from the last fight with the minotaur and met his mother Belinda again, Rupert had become a little strange. I hid in my room all day, and I talked a lot less.

"Your Highness is too careful." Rupert said softly.

"Could it be that my mother gave you something, or gave you something, to use against that minotaur?" Randolph's eyes lit up and he asked.

"You'll know when you arrive." Rupert smiled stiffly, then kept silent.

"Hmph, pretend to be mysterious with me." Randolph was a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything, after all, he needed Rupert's help to enter the Fifth Courtyard this time.

"Your Highness, rest assured, with the queen's means, that minotaur will definitely not be able to escape." The tiger man next to him said flatteringly.

"That's nature." Rachel laughed.

......

The battleship flew extremely fast, and by the afternoon it had reached the Arctic ice field.

Look down.

The whole land was white.

From time to time, you can see snow-capped mountains and mirror-like ice lakes, as if you have suddenly entered a world of ice and snow. A few cold maple trees with leaves covered with ice cubes grew tenaciously on this cold land, and the fiery red branches and leaves seemed to be burning a pile of flames in the ice and snow.

"Sister Irene, it's so cold here." Sophia tightened the cotton robe on her body, but these thick clothes did not block the invasion of the cold in the slightest, and even Leviathan and Dos shivered with cold.

"How can it be so cold?" Barr frowned slightly.

These professionals are physically strong, and looking at the environmental sensing device on the battleship, the temperature outside is only minus ten degrees Celsius, so it stands to reason that it should be impossible for them to feel cold.

However, it's not just Sophia them.

Even he, whose body is stronger than a monster, actually felt a biting chill, which is really incredible.

"Sophia, bear with it first, it won't be so cold when you get to Ice City." Erin explained, "No matter how much clothes you wear here, it's useless, not only us, but even lord-level powerhouses will feel cold when they come here.

"It is said that... Even the fire elemental, whose body is made of flames, can't withstand the cold here. ”

"Oh, and the fire elemental feels cold too?" Barr was surprised.

"It's true, many people have come to investigate, but there is no conclusion." "But most people think it has something to do with the Fifth Courtyard, and the strange cold climate here is the root cause of the Arctic Ice Field's ability to improve physical fitness." ”

"I see."
