Chapter 180: The Extremely Cold Land

The Oymyakon Valley, located in the Republic of Sakha in Russia, is known as one of the "cold poles" in the Northern Hemisphere, as from December to January, the day and night temperatures are below -45C, and in some years even below -60C, with an extreme minimum of -71C.

This is a land covered in twilight snow, and the wet dew turns into transparent ice crystals on the ground, and there are winding polar ice paths on the ground.

It's hard to see people for a hundred kilometers, and the dilapidated houses are covered with stalactites, and Mo Ran wonders how often people who once lived here take a bath, or don't have to bathe since birth.

Before entering the Oymyakon Valley, some people in the tavern joked that if you want to shush in the Oymyakon Valley, you should bring your own hammer, because the urine will freeze into ice cubes when it comes out, and you will need to break it before you can continue.

It wasn't until he entered the valley that Mo Ran realized that this was not a yellow joke at all, this was a living fact!

Ordinary mecha can't move here at all, not to mention that the lubricating fluid between the joints and gears of the mecha will be frozen into a solid and difficult to function. If the heating system is activated or stopped slightly, many wiring will become rigid and the entire mech will be scrapped.

Therefore, Mo Ran is here to remind everyone, don't be greedy for cheap to buy inferior mecha in the black market, at least mecha with a cost of less than 10 million emperor gold, don't come to the Oymyakon Valley Show, no matter how many stars you have.

As for his Metroid, the quality of the products produced by different companies is also uneven, but after that battle with the fire god in the Anfeifei research laboratory, Anfeifei helped him replace the original Metroidvania with a special version of the company, from metal materials to integrated circuits to lubricating oil, all of which are first-class materials, not to mention minus 50 degrees, even minus 150 degrees is no problem.

After spending seven days in this icy place, Mo Ran discovered many interesting things, such as the snow-covered dragon palace, the ancient ecosystem hidden under an extinct volcano, and the former scientific research base of Russia.

It's like an adventure, isn't it?

Of course, when Mo Ran told Zhuo Wen that he was going to stay on the Russian border for a few days, Zhuo Wen couldn't understand the behavior of this energetic teenager, who still had the energy to travel to such an extremely cold place after the physically and mentally exhausted battle of Pluto.

Mo Ran naturally ignored the little fat man's strange eyes, took Xiao Hei and left directly.

Mo Ran needed an absolutely closed, isolated environment to calm his mind for a while, and the Oymyakon Valley was the best place to feel a different aspect of nature.

In the body of the elemental messenger, he already had a wonderful experience with the wind element, it was a very peculiar feeling, the wind was like sea water rolling invisible waves around the body, fluctuating with the swing of the body and the breathing of the pores.

But in the Oymyakon Valley, all that can be felt here is the absolute cold, endless cold, cold, cold, Mo Ran did not use Amphifei's private Metroid for him, he needs to use his body to experience it, of course, the consequences are really very bleak.

The Oymyakon Valley is much colder than the Andes, and after a long time, even the blood in the body will freeze, if it weren't for the evolution of body cells caused by accidentally drinking sand crystal, Mo Ran really couldn't bear the cold here.

In Pluto, there are a total of 5 levels of sand crystals, and the nutritional value increases in turn. When leaving Pluto, Lei Zhentian gave Mo Ran and Zhuo Wen a complete set of perfect sand crystals.

The so-called perfect sand crystal means that it contains 12 bottles of each of grades 1-5, a total of 60 bottles, each bottle of 500 ml sand crystal set.

According to Lei Zhentian, if the genetic index cannot reach the corresponding level, it is a waste to drink high-grade sand crystals. With the little fat man's genetic index barely passing 60, he will not waste it if he drinks level 1 sand crystals.

The minimum genetic index to fully absorb level 2 sand crystals is 100, level 3 sand crystals are 150, level 4 is 200, and level 5 is 250, even in Pluto, only a few masters will buy level 5 sand crystals.

Of course, the little fat man's first reaction was to sell Shajing, after all, a bottle of Shajing at level 5 can already be sold for a sky-high price of 1 million emperor gold, 12 bottles, that is 12 million! Silver of white flowers. But this kind of ruined behavior was stopped by Mo Ran, the emperor gold is easy to obtain, and Sha Jing is hard to find.

In the end, Mo Ran generously threw out 30 million emperor gold to the little fat man and bought all the sand crystals in his hand except for the level 1 sand crystals.

After this qiē, Mo Ran's balance was still as high as 127 million imperial gold.

After Pluto's struggle on the death line, Mo Ran was completely immune to the level 1 sand crystal, and this kind of good thing can last for 7 days without drinking water as long as he drinks a bottle, which is simply tailor-made for the Oymyakon Valley.

Mo Ran tightened the gray trench coat on his body to block the terrible wind and snow, but this action was just self-comforting, the wind here was simply pervasive, like a sharp blade piercing into your body, all the way to the bones, and there was no blood.

Beside him, the huge body of the Starry Night Demon was like a statue, standing proudly in the wind and snow, the ice crystals wanted to wrap it in the hard white fortress, but any Xiaoice that had just formed would be immediately melted by its body, and Xiao Hei's body was like a super furnace that constantly emitted hot air, and even the cold had to be retreated.

Mo Ran's teeth chattered, resisting the urge to get close to Xiao Hei's side to keep warm, this was a cultivation for him, if he used external help, what was the difference between it and using a mecha like Metroid?

Behind Xiao Hei, a jar of sand crystals was discarded there, this was a bottle of grade 2 sand crystals, and there seemed to be some stock in it, but the opening had been eroded by the wind and snow, and the remaining sand crystals merged with the ice crystals, losing their original efficacy.

In the deepest cave in the Oymyakon Valley, Xiao Hei, as a Dharma protector, witnessed the painful death of his master.

Mo Ran tried level 2 sand crystal, and survived, maybe he succeeded.

But there is another possibility, that is, he still failed, and he was defeated in the confrontation with Sha Jing, this time he only drank a small amount, but he still couldn't help but spit it out, with his current physical strength, he couldn't evolve cells through Guò Level 2 Sha Jing.

Whether the result is a success or a failure, only Mo Ran himself knows!

Xiao Hei screamed, his voice was still crisp and high-pitched, obviously the little guy didn't take the cold here seriously at all, Mo Ran glanced at Xiao Hei with some envy, and gently touched its tail.

The broken tail has completely grown, but the new tail does not have any runes on it, it is as clean as a pitch-black marble surface, Mo Ran wonders, is it also random for the dragon pet to get the runes? If you're lucky, you'll grow a rune that grows? That's amazing.

Of course, according to Lei Zhentian, even the same breed of dragon pets will have different abilities because of the different real dragons they serve, the Starry Night Demon Demon is the most mysterious branch of the dragon pet, and Xiao Hei's innate domineering is to subvert everyone's common sense, it can only be said that the reason why Xiao Hei has so many magical abilities must be related to its natal true dragon, if you want to solve these puzzles, you have to find the dragon fossil at the auction.

But the fossil had evaporated since that auction, and even Xiao Hei couldn't feel it at all.

Whether it's the auction or Pluto, Muran has encountered enough puzzles and is completely clueless until now.

Mo Ran stroked along Xiao Hei's smooth scale armor, gently rubbing Xiao Hei's backbone, perfect body proportions, Mo Ran thought to himself, Xiao Hei must be a beautiful man in the Starry Night Demon.

In the end, he couldn't help but lean on Xiao Hei's body, the warmth was like a soft and comfortable quilt on a winter morning, making people reluctant to leave it.

I don't know why, Mo Ran really wants to learn from Xiao Hei at the moment, he has been strong for so long, and he also wants to find someone to be coquettish.

Also, since he took that inexplicable flight, his life has been caught in a big whirlpool, the death battle in the wreckage territory, the first meeting with the cold spirit, the auction unexpectedly obtained Xiao Hei, the preliminary round of the Blade Rally won in one fell swoop, and the ultimate battle of Hades in Pluto's brain-dead land, and finally returned to Earth alive.

How long has it been since this Nima? It feels like a decades-long experience.

Suddenly, Mo Ran remembered Jiang Hua who fell into the wreckage territory with him, that kid was captured by the Thorn Guard, judging from his own experience, these extremely ferocious mechanical hunters will not give their prey any chance to survive at all, they will want to crush an ant to crush Jiang Hua and explode it, it is impossible to survive.

Thinking of this, Mo Ran couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, although he was only with Jiang Hua for more than ten hours, but the two of them could be regarded as having blown water together, and had been born and died.

At this moment, his imperial message suddenly flashed red, and without his permission, a light screen was shot, and a virtual figure appeared on the light screen.

"Master, there are less than 24 hours left before the enrollment of the canonical seminary." The electronically synthesized stiff voice sounded, and as the last word was spit out, the figure gradually disappeared, and the light screen dimmed.

"Hey, I've been out for so long! Fortunately, the emperor was reminded before departure. Mo Ran patted his head and smiled.

Although Xiao Hei didn't understand very much, he also felt very strange about Mo Ran's behavior of patting his head, so he lowered his head and licked Mo Ran's face, making Mo Ran's face full of mucus.

However, Xiao Hei's saliva is quite warm, like a layer of skin cream covering Mo Yan's face, which makes people feel particularly comfortable in this icy and snowy environment. The most shocking thing is that this saliva will not freeze at all, and if you have a chance, you should really get it in the real yàn room and study it carefully, what is the ingredient?

"Kuroko ~ rushed to school within 24 hours, you should be able to do it, right?" Mo Ran said with a smile.

Xiao Hei straightened his chest and let out a proud howl, as if to say: Just kidding, if the Starry Night Demon goes all out, he can circle the earth in 24 hours.

In the blizzard, a black figure rose into the sky, lightly breaking through the outer layer of the violent blizzard, and burrowed into it.
