Chapter Forty-Six: The Permafrost Ice Field

In the foggy world, there was a sound of metal crashing from the misty fog, and the sound of impact continued rhythmically, like a metal figure walking on a road paved with hard rock. "Bang dang, bang dang", the voice is getting closer and closer, and in the hazy fog, a dark shadow is constantly shaking, like a nameless monster hidden in the fog.

This is the permafrost ice field, the coldest place in the world in Yala, an extremely cold place surrounded by a hot zone. Located in the northern part of the Yala continent, it belongs to the plateau zone, the north and east are bordered by the sea, and the towering cliffs that stretch for thousands of kilometers form a natural barrier, dividing the earth and the sea into two worlds, this cliff that extends to the south including the country of mages, belongs to one of the most famous wonders of the Yala world, such a long cliff belongs to the absolute only existence, in any case it is not like a naturally generated environment, it should have become a tourist attraction, but due to the too dangerous environment, no one dares to come here to enjoy this rare wonder。 To the west of the permafrost, part of it is connected to the Forest of Death, and the other part leads to the Lost Forest, the territory of the elves, and to the south of the ice field, there is the terrifying whispering swamp, the home of the lizard people, in the swamp area shrouded in poisonous gases all year round, the lizard people live together with a large number of swamp creatures, this god of hunting did not develop a large civilization, but lived by hunting and gathering.

The permafrost ice field is covered by ice all year round, and you will never see a day of melting. The ice that has been piled up for an unknown number of thousands of years is constantly thickening. Make the permafrost ice field higher and higher. No one knows why there is a region that is extremely cold in the extreme north, where everything around it is hot all year round. One can only attribute what one sees to the wonder of the Yarra man-made object, and there is no other reason to explain the cause of the permafrost.

The temperature here is extremely low, and anyone who exposes their limbs to the air for a maximum of five seconds will freeze their limbs. Just a few minutes is enough to freeze an ordinary person who is not dressed thick enough to freeze to death. Even with the physique of a high-level professional, it can't last long. Even if it is commonly used, the use of low-volume hedron fragments to keep warm is not suitable here, as the surrounding temperature is too low. If you want to maintain it for an hour, you need to use at least two or three thousand terr's medium-capacity spars, but instead of consuming such a large amount of cost to use spars, it is better to use traditional methods and wear a thick enough cotton coat to maintain the temperature, so that although it is bloated and inconvenient to move, at least there will be no accidents. And it can save thousands of gold coins per hour.

Not only is the temperature extremely low, but the weather here is changeable, with snowfall, cold winds, and falling ice. Strange celestial phenomena often appear without warning, and even if the sky was clear and cloudless five minutes ago, maybe five minutes later, fist-sized snowflakes will fall with the wind, thickening the snow that has accumulated on the ice beneath your feet for thousands of years. There was not only snow, but also fog. The ice sheet is shrouded in a misty fog all year round, and the fog is not thick. But it was enough to interfere with the human vision, causing countless brave explorers to lose their way in this cold world, and finally die of exhaustion on the ice field.

Yes, even if the permafrost icefield is as terrifying as hell, it still can't stop people's yearning for wealth and the pursuit of the unknown, in the adventurer's guild, there will always be a few commissions about the permafrost ice field hanging in the high-level task bar, and the high rewards of these tasks will sometimes attract the attention of some high-level adventure groups, so that these people weigh their own strength and choose the latter among danger and money. Of course, there are many examples of successful remuneration among these people, but the bodies of many more losers are left forever on the ice field, as has happened for thousands of years, and become part of the ice field. However, no one will feel that they are a loser in advance, and every high-level powerhouse who enters the ice field will be full of confidence, and then, a few more corpses will be added to the ice sleep, adding a touch of mystery to the legend of the permafrost ice field.

"Actually, there was once a lion who was always talking nonsense about strange theories and told me about the permafrost. In the mist on the ice field, a slightly flirtatious voice came from the man: "But like his other theories, he was ridiculed by everyone, because it did not correspond to reality at all." ”

The sound of "clang" got closer and closer, and the dark shadows gradually became clear, and soon, several figures stepped on the snow under their feet, and their figures appeared from the hidden fog. The six of them were dressed thicker than they had been on the snow, and their entire bodies, including their heads, faces, and ears, were wrapped in thick clothing. Several people were also wearing thickened boots on their feet, and strangely, the soles of the boots were wrapped with thin iron chains, and a thick layer of rubber was smeared around the chains.

Because the package was so tight, the identities of the six people could only be judged by their height and voice. The tallest, at the end of the line, was definitely Pannis, who, even though very bloated, still dangled from side to side in the back half of the line, occasionally crumpling a hard snowball and throwing it into the mist on either side. Although it seemed pointless to his behavior, the girls knew that he was not playing, but exploring the possible dangers in the mist, so no one blamed him. As for the one at the front of the line, it was obviously Catherine, because of the clothes, the female knight had to give up the cherished scale armor, but the shield was still in her hand, although the arms and palms that were thickened by the clothes could no longer hold the shield stably, but the shield in her hand could make the knight girl more confident. Three meters behind Catherine's side, a petite figure followed closely, her identity was evident from the long blond hair peeking out from under her hat. Ava also integrated into the adventure team at this time, as a three-eyed clan, she has quite a strong ** power, even if she can't use her fighting energy, it is enough to beat most of the legendary-level professionals. As a result, she stands behind Catherine, between Catherine and the Spellcaster, making it easy to attack or defend.

The three people in the middle are naturally the three members of the spell department of the adventure group, although Freya and Lina are highly close, but even if they are wrapped in a lot of clothes, they can still be clearly distinguished by their body shapes. Freya is the only one who doesn't have a chain around her feet, and her boots have some strange parts attached to them, and every time she steps on the ground, she will stick out a few short spikes from under her boots, piercing into the snow or ice to prevent her feet from slipping, and every time she needs to lift her feet, the spikes will retract in time to prevent her movements from affecting her movement at all. Lina didn't hold her book in her hand, because Pannis had scared her that if the pages were damp in the fog, they would be frozen and shattered. Lina, who regards books as her life, of course, can't bear to let her beloved books sacrifice at low temperatures, so she has to put the books back in the waterproof bag and hide them, but she always feels like something is missing.

"What did he say?" asked Vivien, who was the most relaxed, and the mage girl was now being taken care of by everyone, and instead of walking on her own, it was up to Pannith to build a snow and ice sled, which was being dragged forward by Freya. Due to the weight-loss circle carved on the ice car, it is not at all strenuous to tow. Wrapped like a bear, Vivien sat on the ice cart and dangled around and asked, "How does he think the ice field was formed?"

"I don't really understand what he means. Pannis replied: "He talks a lot about what reaches an extreme and naturally transforms into the opposite state, just like in an extremely hot environment, there will be a very cold place, and he can't explain the reason when I ask him." Then, another friend asked him if he could find a place to cool off in the magma, and he couldn't tell. ”

"And then?" asked Vivien with interest, "Did the two of you discuss anything?"

"The result?" Pannis spread his hands and said helplessly: "As a result, those two people fought, and their relationship often developed into such a result." ”

"Pannis. Catherine, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said loudly in the cold wind: "We have come to the vicinity of the location we marked on the map before, you see the rift in front of us, it should be that boundary, we have to find a way to pass from here, we really can't only take a long detour." ”

"I'll see. Several people gathered around Catherine and saw the deep chasm in front of them. The bottom of the rift valley was bottomless, and it was pitch black below, and it was impossible to know how high it was, and the only thing that could be determined by visual inspection was that it was at least more than 600 meters deep. Looking across the rift, the rift is more than 100 meters wide, and the cliffs on both sides are covered with thick layers of ice, like crystal walls that only appear in stories. Standing next to the rift valley, the ice is also smooth under your feet, and stepping on it, even if there is an iron chain as a slip prevention measure, it is still very worrying that you will accidentally fall into the rift.

"Well, I think I can try. Freya stood on the edge of the rift and thought for a moment, then said tentatively, "I can make a catapult booster, and with the few bounce-enhancing devices on my legs, maybe I can try to catapult myself." ”

"Don't even think about it. Catherine gave a blank look and said, "What if there is ice on the edge of the cliff opposite, you didn't see it when Eva stepped on that ice before, how dangerous it is, it's better to be steady." (To be continued)
