Chapter 31: Snow Ridge 'Survival'?

ps: Modify the wording. Thanks to "RGSDG", "Lazy Ying Long", and "White Flower Love Poem". ", "Okay", "Old Moon on Paper" five big votes.

As far as the eye can see, there is a white expanse all around. Under this blue sky, the surrounding world covered with ice and snow makes people even more suspicious of the middle of winter. A gust of mountain wind came towards him, and Barrett, who had a full 18-point physique, couldn't help but shiver.

Barrett tilted his head slightly, and the high peaks in front of him were like an old man with white hair and white beard, silently looking down at the vast grassland at his feet. And the scorching sun shining on the snow-capped peaks emitted countless dazzling flashes, like brilliant diamonds that made Barrett's eyes narrow.

"Gollum! Grunt! Barrett's stomach was protesting to him about the abuse he had suffered. Unfortunately, it didn't work. In addition to the "Broken Peak" in his hand, there are only teleportation runes and Barrett, who is dressed in a single coat, and now there is nothing to treat his five internal organs temple.

There can be no other protection other than ordinary clothes, and you can enjoy the 24-hour winter atmosphere on the top of the snow-capped mountains. This is the first test ritual given to the user by the "Broken Peak" Mo Knife. Because the founder of "Broken Peak" is named Electra. Boreham's ancestors, when he was young, once purified an ice demon spirit gymnastics cave on the top of the snow.

Similarly, the first ritual of other ancient weapons is often not very difficult. For example, the most famous ancient weapon of the Iron Heart, the Death Intent, its first ritual is that it must be equally unprotected. Stay outside all night on a thunderstorm night. All right! It looks like it's waiting for the opportunity to cross. But in fact, it is just a small test of the user's wisdom and character.

If it's somewhere else. Barrett may have gotten up to take a look. Try to find some temporary food from the neighborhood. It's a pity that on the top of this mountain, there is no grass within a radius of dozens of miles. Perhaps only the eagle soaring overhead can be regarded as a little vitality. Unless there is really a great supernatural power, it is almost impossible to find something to eat.

Sitting in the snow, Barrett was not prepared to waste his efforts, he stroked the blade in his bosom and recalled the conversation he had had with the Earl of Boreham three days earlier......

After hearing Barrett's question, the Earl of Boram picked up the teacup on the table and smiled, "Are you asking about the first ability to pass on the ancients?" Mr. Electra once made a pact with an old gem dragon, and the first ability you will gain will come from the most basic characteristics of dragons, immunity to paralysis and magical sleep. ”

"Do immune paralysis and magical sleep work? I don't know why I always feel a little helpless with this ability. Barrett's mood immediately became unkind.

The supernatural or spell-like abilities of certain monsters and spells can paralyze the victim. Magically immobilize them. Similarly, certain special toxins can also cause paralyzing effects. The paralyzed figure cannot move, speak, or make any physical movements. He is often pinned in place, dull and helpless. Even his friends can't pull his limbs - winged creatures are paralyzed while flying and won't be able to dance their wings and fall off. Swimmers are paralyzed and are unable to swim and are at risk of drowning. The only exception to this is when purely mental activities can be performed, such as casting spells with an incapable component.

Not to mention the sleep state flow, no one can meet the enemy in that state of brain dormancy. The only good news is that all flying magic sleep states are relatively easy to wake up.

It is precisely because these two abilities appear to be so effective that they form a state of helplessness that is known as immobilization, restraint, coma, or other conditions of total exposure to the adversary's grasp. Since it is helpless, the characters in this situation are often dead.

And the first ancient ability 'Dragon Characteristic' given by the "Broken Peak" Mo Knife can be immune to paralysis and magical sleep effects, which naturally looks very good. However, it is precisely because the effect of these two abilities is very domineering. So whether it's magic or toxins, it's either too expensive and rare. Either the probability of any effect is not too great (the difficulty of exemption is low).

Add to that the fear and deliberate vigilance of these two special states that could lead to a catastrophe at any time. For those seasoned adventurers, it's unlikely that they'll actually end up in that situation.

And for people like Barrett who have the 'Perfect Spirit' of the 'Steel Soul Flow' coping technique, most of those abilities related to the confrontation of wills are just useless work. Neither the 'Sleep Dust', the 'Cloak of Sleep', nor the 'Human Immobilization' would work on Barrett's body. It's no wonder that he is not interested in the 'dragon characteristics' given by the "Broken Peak" Mo Knife!

Seeing Barrett's undisguised disappointment, the Earl of Boreham naturally understood Barrett's thoughts when he thought about it. I saw him put down the teacup he had just picked up, and said earnestly: "Don't keep thinking about how you can deal with those spells and abilities when you are fighting. Have you ever thought of being attacked by an enemy without them noticing it, using their ability to paralyze or sleep! For example, while you are asleep, your companion at the night watch has an accident. This kind of situation is not uncommon among adventurers in the Western Continent. With it, you can effectively reduce the risk in this area, and you must know that only staying alive is the greatest cost. ”

Barrett, who heard this, couldn't say bluntly that he had experience in the past, and he was already familiar with this aspect of things, and it was not easy for someone to think about it. And he didn't dare to assert that it wasn't 100 percent impossible. Therefore, he had no choice but to put on an open face and be taught, and said, "I understand your intentions, Lord Earl. With it, I'm less likely to be plotted to succeed. ”

"It's not just some. You must know that although our Boreham family looks beautiful, in fact, there are also many enemies who are openly and secretly targeting us. In the past, your strength was too weak, and you may not have entered the sight of those people, but after entering the red iron rank, it is different. As he spoke, the Earl's expression became extremely serious. So if you're still out there. In addition to facing the mission objectives that you already know. Also keep an eye out for attackers who may be lurking in the shadows. You have a very big future ahead of you, and taking care of yourself is a must. ”

'Is this the intention of Lord Earl to give the 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife? It's a pity I'm a gamer! I don't think those guys can kill me 10 times in a row with paralysis and magical sleep without actually dying...... Barrett sighed in his heart and couldn't help but feel quite touched by the actions of the Earl of Borehamβ€”a family that has stood for thousands of years has indeed had extraordinary means.

Compared with the time when Georgi was in power more than 200 years ago, the Boreham family, which was originally not prosperous, is now a lush and towering tree. And compared to many aristocratic families whose side branches no longer have a common language after three generations. The overall cohesion of the Boreham family and their control over the side branches are amazing. This may also be a factor that makes people fearful!

"Rest assured, Lord Earl! I'll deal with that. Barrett replied with emotion.

"That's it! Let's not talk about this topic in the city. 'Broken Peak' is in addition to the kind of continuous permanent ability at the beginning, and wait for your strength to increase a little more. You will be able to use the subsequent effects. Count Boreham said with a smile, "By that time you will have the opportunity once a day to fix the target you attack in your own plane." ”

"You're talking about the effect of dimensional anchors!" Barrett shouted with a slight surprise as he looked at the 'Broken Peak' Mo Knife that was within reach.

"Although the effect is similar, it is not a spell or spell-like ability, but a supernatural ability." The Earl of Boreham immediately explained.

Dimensional Blade: Once a day, the owner of the handshake 'Broken Peak' uses it to focus on a target, and can silently recite commands in his mind. Immediately, the creature that was hit was sliced by a force field that shimmered with emerald green, which completely prevented interdimensional travel and was equivalent to the effect of the 'Dimensional Anchor' spell cast by the mage.

Compared to the spell of 'Dimensional Anchor', the ancient ability 'Dimensional Blade' possessed by 'Broken Peak' can be said to have its own merits. 'Dimensional Anchor' is a long-range ray-type spell that is more flexible to use. And the premise that 'Dimensional Blade' must hit at close range has affected its flexibility. However, the 'Dimensional Blade', which is a supernatural ability, does not have to consider the impact of spell resistance in the same way as the 'Dimensional Anchor'. There will be no sudden effectiveness that will lead to the complete reversal of the previous battle plan.

Hearing this, Barrett finally had a satisfied smile on his face: "Once a day is enough." If you have one chance in battle, it's a matter of life and death! ”

"That's it! You kid, don't just be happy to see the hunt! This 'broken peak' is in addition to the ability to pass on the ancients. Its own quality is also very good. Earl Boreham said as he reached out and touched the blade of Broken Peak, "Even if you remove everything, it's a magic weapon made of star iron. Before you perform the second ritual, you will be able to grow to the level of a Tier 2 magic weapon (+2). After completing the secondary ritual, you will immediately gain the enchantment attribute of Sharpness. And most importantly, as an ancient weapon, it can also find mages to continue enchanting. ”

Thinking back to this, Barrett hugged the blade in his hand again, as if to warm it with his own body heat. Barrett, who was blowing a breath of water vapor, looked at the white mist in front of him, and then subconsciously said, "If I just stay like this until tomorrow morning, I won't have any problem." I hope there won't be any accidents in the next time! ”

After saying this, Barrett reached out and grabbed a handful of floating snow from not far away, and then grabbed it hard. After melting it with the temperature of the palm of your hand, you will moisten your throat with this "natural and pollution-free" mountain snow water close to your mouth.

Nothing happened all day. At dusk, the setting sun reflects the surrounding snow-capped peaks in a dazzling glow. Facing the sunset, the mountains in the distance are dressed in rose-colored dresses. Then a cold and cold bright moon slowly rose into the night sky, and under the silver light that shrouded the earth like a light veil, the school style in the night showed a solemn and awe-inspiring spirit. And next to Barrett, it reveals a sense of desolation, silence and mystery.

Suddenly, a vague "whoop" sound came into Barrett's ears. Looking in the direction from which the nerves came, a pair of yellow-green pupils in a black shadow were showing a color no less than that of gems under the support of the moonlight.

The silent steps, and the previous voice, seemed to be felines. Although snow leopards on Earth generally live near the snow line, it is not clear if they are not here. Barrett tightened his grip on his weapon vigilantly, "Could it be that God saw that I was hungry and brought me a meal?" But there is no firewood or fire-starting tools here, so I can't eat raw meat. Although it is not difficult to solve the parasite or something after going back, it is still too disgusting to enter. ”

Just as Barrett treats the approaching feline in front of him as a feast, the creature that thinks it is well hidden also makes Barrett his own delicacy. As the distance between the two got closer and closer, I saw a "pop-" sound, and the black shadow suddenly jumped up and pounced towards Barrett with teeth and claws.

It was only then that Barrett could see through the moonlight the other man's gray-white fur with black spots and black rings. The big cat in front of me is about 220-250 centimeters long. The sharp teeth that protrude from the sockets like a saber-toothed tiger, and the row of sharp bone spurs on the back all indicate the identity of a ferocious creature.

"This size is a bit like a ferocious lion! But judging from the grinding sample, it seems to be a fierce snow leopard! Barrett, who easily dodged the opponent's flutter, swung his knife at the momentum, and then the Star Iron Giant Blade in his hand slashed towards the big cat's tofu waist. But what was unexpected was that the big cat in front of him actually folded up in mid-air as if it was composed of springs. and his eerie posture dodging Barrett's fatal blow.

But although the big cat managed to pick up a life and escaped the fate of a rotten intestine. But Barrett, who couldn't hit it, took advantage of the situation and swiped his backhand, "Ahh Next, to deal with the three-legged cat in front of him, the battle can be said to be no suspense.

The night was calm, and finally when the red sun of the next day shone from the side of the mountain, and the sky was red with ten thousand rays of light. The silver-white snow-capped mountains seemed to be dyed with the color of fire. (To be continued......)
