Chapter 161: The Extremely Cold River

The 328th layer of the Abyss Demon Realm, the Extremely Cold River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the protection of the star's water enchantment, the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes did not cause any trouble to the two of them, but some cold still penetrated in.

Carl took a piece of fire stone to activate, and the dark red attribute spar glowed red light from time to time after activation, and the slowly declining temperature in the water barrier rose to normal again.

"You've got a lot of props in place. Xingli couldn't help but say as he watched Carl fix the fire crest stone to an inlay groove on the forearm of the academy uniform.

"An experienced adventurer will only have more prepared than I have - except for some specialized equipment. Karl glanced at her, "I'm just preparing based on what the book says. ”

"Mm-hmm, that's really interesting. Xingli held her head in her hand, "If this time is safe, I think I'll go to your human world to have a look." ”

"We'll talk about that then. Karl replied, raising his hand and pointing into the distance, "There seems to be something over there, is there any way you can see it?"

In the far reaches of the horizon, in this white world, there is a pale blue line.

After walking for more than two hours, this is the first time I have seen a different scenery.

"I'll take a look. "The unchanged scenery has changed, and Xingli has also become energetic.

"Atmospheric water spirits, allow me to look into the distance with your eyes!"

With the chanting of the star, there was an astonishing change in mid-air, and light blue mirrors condensed in the air. The scenery in the extreme distance passes through the different mirrors, and finally reflects the eyes of the star.

"Magical magic. Karl exclaimed with some surprise, "The prototype of your magic is the perspective atmosphere of the five rings of the wind system." Instead of the wind element, the water element is called to achieve a similar effect. ”

"That's right. I changed it myself.,The name of this magic is the water mist speculum of the star glass.,I can teach you if you want to learn it.。 Xingli said proudly as she looked into the distance with her magic.

"Ha, I have the attribute of the wind element, and it is not difficult to see through the magic of the atmosphere. Karl rolled his eyes, "And your magic is too eye-catching to be recited." ”

If it weren't for Karl's reading of more than a million words a day—the kind of reading that he fully understood and memorized—and some calculations of simulated experiments, he took up too much of his time. There was little time to burn spirit runes, and his mage level could rise very quickly. The explosive increase in knowledge and computing power made it impossible for him to learn spells at all. He also understood why there were few people in the Academy's Fountain of Magic, which was obviously such a good infrastructure.

There's no point in focusing too much on hierarchy. Patchouli didn't advise him to do that either.

"Uh......h Carl bullied people...... "Xingli was a little low.

"What do you see?" asked Karl, twitching the corners of his eyes, changing the subject.

"Great river. Xingli lifted her magic and rubbed her eyes, "What a big river." Countless icebergs tens of meters tall float on the surface of the river. It's like tiny dots of light on a ribbon. ”

"Rivers. Karl blessed himself with the Feather Fall and Acceleration again, and looked at the blue line at the end of his vision, "Let's go, get there and rest." The sudden appearance of a river in the middle of a barren ice field must have some special significance. ”

Although you can see the glacier from this position, it is actually quite far away, like seeing a mountain in the distance, but it can take a day to walk. This is quite deceptive.

Every kilometer Karl walked, he took out a wooden stick more than three meters long and stuck it in the ground - it was taken from his Void Domain, which was now quite large.

Xingli looked at the array of trees in a straight line on the snowfield behind her. The closer ones have been stained with a layer of hoarfrost, and the farther ones have been completely covered with snow and turned the color of the ground.

Xingli approached Carl, who was trying to straighten the stick: "Carl Karl~"

"What's the matter?" Karl pulled out a plumb to make sure his stick was in order, before looking up at the silver-haired elven princess.

The star-glazed green gauze skirt stands out against the white background, the only living presence in this desert of life.

"What are you doing?" asked Xingli curiously.

She didn't ask Carl why he took out a three-meter-long stick in this place where space equipment could not be used, and she also had targeted enhanced space equipment.

"The simplest purpose is to calibrate the route. Karl wiped the sweat from his forehead, "There are a lot of incidental purposes, and I don't expect them to be achieved." For example, we can judge the distribution of these winds based on the time difference between the sticks being covered by wind and snow in the snowfield, and estimate the terrain under the snow based on the feel when inserted into the snow. ”

Karl pressed his hand to the oak stick in front of him, and said a few words, and the invisible wave jumped between the oak sticks, and stopped beyond the third oak stick, and a fireball the size of two fists appeared on the edge of the oak three kilometers away, and fell into the snow, leaving a small bowl-shaped crater.

Xingli also tried it curiously, but only passed two kilometers.

"It's interesting, but it's not practical. Xingli tilted her head and said.

Her direct cast range is more than a few tens of kilometers, as long as she can lock onto the target.

"Hmm...... This feature is just for you to play. Karl shrugged, "I'm just making a little bit of a different color in this completely one-color place, you've heard of snow blindness." Moving around the snowy fields is boring, just looking for something to do. ”

Xingli couldn't laugh or cry: "Did you fool me before?" But what you said is indeed reasonable, I walked for more than three hours in a row before, and I saw the same scenery for more than three hours, and I wondered if I was going around in circles. ”

"Well. It's not a fool, is it? Karl scratched his face, "It's good if you're happy." ”

"What do you mean I'm happy......" Xingli pouted a little dissatisfied, and suddenly her expression moved. The flowing water enchantment instantly formed a thick layer of ice, blocking the two of them on the periphery.

Three white and one large blue creature burst out of the snow more than half a meter deep and crashed into the frozen barrier.

The humanoid creature was only the size of two watermelons, and a large mouth on its head, which was larger than its body, was cracked to its ears, and sharp teeth in its mouth could be faintly seen, and behind it was featherless wings wider than its entire body, and it stayed in mid-air with a slight flapping. Completely ignoring the effects of the cold winds, they are the natives here.

The larger blue creature was similar to the other three white ones, except that the joints of its body were sharpened. It appears more hideous, and its blue and whitish wings are more transparent. When the three white creatures approached it, there was also an extra layer of blue light on their bodies.

"Little goblin, Ice Demon King?!" Xingli recognized the creature.

The icicles, which were more powerful than the Three Rings' Ice Pick, condensed in front of the Ice Demon King and the Goblin, and then bombarded the Frozen Enchantment. And they don't have to go through the buffer of spells that mages hate. After the icicle shot out. The next icicle is already condensing.

"What species is this? Have you seen it?" Carl said as he looked at the goblin outside, "It's kind of interesting, these three white ones should not have the ability to cast spells, and can only rely on dashing and biting, but when the blue ones are nearby, these white ones can also cast spells." ”

"It's a leprechaun. Xingli let the four monsters attack, and said to Karl, "You can also see it occasionally in the elven forest. It's not too rare, and I'm afraid of life. When not attacked, it is usually very gentle, and will actively hide when a stranger passes by. As for what you see, this is the leadership ability of the demon kings advanced by the little goblins, which is somewhat similar to the skills of the legion, which is the unreasonable kind, and will give the nearby goblins their own elemental abilities. But no, the goblins are quite peaceful creatures, why are they here, and so manic?"

Karl observed for a moment and shook his head: "These are native here. It may be that this creature is more widely distributed. ”

As he spoke, Karl swung his right hand forward, and the four sparks passed through the frozen barrier without hindrance and submerged into the bodies of the four little goblins who were constantly attacking outside, and then his right hand clenched suddenly.

"Burst, assassinate Flame Blade!"

Four dark red blades pierced out from front of the four goblins and pierced them, three white ones squeaked and fell to the ground, and one of the Ice Demon Kings could barely fly in midair, but they were also very frightened, vibrating their wings to escape.

"Wind element, ingestion. Carl stretched out his hand to make a grabbing form, and a big cyan hand appeared in the sky above the Ice Demon King more than twenty meters away, slapped it on the snow with one palm, and then dragged it back.

Xingli looked at the big cyan hand curiously: "What kind of spell are you, why haven't I seen it?"

"It's not a spell. Carl used the ground thorns to make up for the Ice Demon King, "It's just the wind element control, it's just that the control accuracy is relatively high, so I have the illusion of 'this is a spell', if it wasn't for the Ice Demon King who ate me an assassination blade first, I wouldn't have been able to shoot it directly." You've closed the Frozen Barrier, I'm going to get it in and check it out. ”

Looking at the small, aggressive-looking creature up close, Carl couldn't have connected it to what Xingli called "gentleness".

"This king's creature level is actually lower than silver. Carl checked the attributes of the Ice Demon King and said with some surprise, "But this vitality is so fragile, as long as it can break through the defense, it can cause a lot of damage to it." ”

Carl's fusion spell, Assassinate Flame Blade, is a typical high-breaking defensive damage technique.

"Leprechauns are fragile creatures. Xingli lightly poked the translucent wings of the Ice Demon King, "How can this happen......"

Carl took out his notebook, drew a small circle on a blank page, filled in the words "goblin", and then looked at Xingli: "Have you heard of the evolution tree of the Abyss Demon Realm? In fact, almost all the creatures in the Abyss Demon Realm are in the same basic form, and I'm not sure if the goblin is one of the many branches, but I think it's very likely." ”

"Evolutionary Tree?" a big question mark popped up above Xingli's head.

"Almost all living beings in the Abyss Demon Realm evolved from the Abyss Worm, and the Abyss Worm has extremely comprehensive possibilities, and every time it evolves, it becomes powerful. But the likelihood will also be smaller. Carl circled the bottom of the blank page of his notebook and filled in the Abyss Worm, "There is very little research on the Abyss Demon Realm. I also saw the knowledge of the evolutionary tree on a fragment that I accidentally found in a corner of the first floor of the academy library. Left over 1,000 years ago, this fragment is considered useless by most people by Vittoriga de Brois...... I guess that's it. ”

"There is no mention of leprechauns in the evolutionary tree, it may be that the researchers have not encountered such creatures, or it may be in the damaged part of the fragment...... Headache. However, there is another type of individual mentioned in the book that resembles an evolution of a leprechaun. "Carl connected the Abyss Worm and the goblin directly with a dotted wire, and then connected another line on top of the goblin's circle. "Spirit Dragon, the king-level creatures among them are Ice Spirit Dragon, Wind Spirit Dragon and some others, they are the same as goblins. Ordinary spirit dragons do not attack elementally, but when there is an elemental spirit dragon nearby, it will also have the corresponding elemental ability, which is very difficult. ”

"Keep going. If you meet a spirit dragon. Then you can be sure that this is the Abyss Demon Realm. Carl closed his notebook, "I don't want to run into them." ”

Except for an attack by a goblin halfway, Carl and Xingli were not attacked by other monsters, and they were quite calm along the way, if it weren't for Carl's judgment, they couldn't believe that this was a certain layer of the abyss.

Mountains formed by glaciers hundreds of meters high stretched in front of the two of them, and Xingli adjusted the structure of the glacier to cling to the smooth mountain wall. A gentle slope is formed that can be climbed slowly. The two of them changed into non-slip shoes and walked up slowly.

Starglass climbed to the top of the glacier first, and then pulled Carl up as well.

"It's finally coming up. "Carl blessed himself with the Feather Fall Technique. Sitting on the snow without sinking down, "It's much more tiring than ordinary mountain climbing." ”

Carl was panting, obviously not lightly tired, moving in the snow is far more tired than on ordinary ground, mountaineering in the snow is a sport that consumes a lot of physical strength, although there are featherfall techniques to place traps, water enchantments and fire stones to prevent heat loss, but for Carl's physical fitness, which is not much stronger than ordinary people, it is still a big burden.

"You humans are really in poor health. Xingli also sat on the snow and pointed to the other side of the glacier, "Behold, this is that great, big river!"

Tens of kilometers wide hangs high between two glaciers, forming a rare above-ground river, where countless Xiaoice mountains float on the surface like white dots dotted on a blue ribbon. Looking upstream, you can see that countless branches slowly converge here, making the glacier bigger and bigger. Although the temperature is far below freezing, the water in the river is not frozen, only occasionally some water that hits the iceberg and splashes up, and condenses in mid-air. Under the clear surface of the river, some huge shadows can be faintly seen swimming.

Starglass ingested some of the river's water from afar, and forcibly controlled it to keep it from freezing. A faint chill passed through the air to the two of them.

"The temperature is so low. Xingli exclaimed.

"There must be something in the river, otherwise it wouldn't be freezing. Karl looked deeply at the intertwined banks of the river, and had no intention of going down to get up close and personal with the river.

Xingli put the river water into the cotton-wrapped test tube that Carl handed her.

"What's next?" Xingli asked, seeing that Karl had no intention of continuing the analysis on the spot.

"This river is the main body of this plane. "Going down this river, you should be able to reach the center of this plane." But let's stop here for today, so let's take a break. ”

"Well, you're right. Xingli also sat down.

For more than ten consecutive hours to support the water enchantment, most of the magic power of the star glass has been consumed.

They were now located on a wide flat surface on a glacial mountain range along the river, with no indiscriminate protruding icicles, making them ideal for camping.

Carl fixed the lighthouse-like water enchantment magic guide to the ground and activated it, expanding the hemispherical blue enchantment to protect the two of them in the middle.

"Reclaim the enchantment, and I'll set up the camp. Carl said, pulling out a set of magicians.

"Hmm~" Xingli retracted his three-meter radius of the water enchantment.

Carl fixed the four shuttle shapers to the inside of the enchantment, and then activated, the pale blue light flashed and connected to the enchantment, and the hemispherical enchantment slowly deformed and then contracted into the shape of a quadrangular pyramid.

"What's the use of that?" Xingli asked curiously.

With Carl, there is always an endless stream of questions to ask him.

"I've reduced the impact resistance of the enchantment and increased the penetration resistance. Karl explained, "The purpose of my barrier is not to prevent monsters, but to reduce the infiltration of cold air. ”

Saying that, Karl dug a big pit in the snow, and the snow layer on the top of the glacier was relatively thin, referring to the kind of snow layer that was very loose, and the kind that could step on a pit with one foot with the feather drop technique.

"You can't dig up the soil. Carl stomped the hard layer of snow under his feet, which was as hard as dirt, "The earth barrier is not easy to use. ”

Xingli squatted above Carl and watched him dig a pit, looking at his tangled appearance and said, "If it is a small area of defensive enchantment in a fixed location, I am still relatively relaxed. ”

“...... No, I'm stupid. Carl shook his head and jumped out of the snow pit more than a meter deep, "If Levi was here, he would definitely laugh at me." ”

"Hey, what's wrong?" Xingli wondered.

Karl grabbed a cloud of snow in his hands and concentrated his water elemental control ability to squeeze them into a brick of ice.

"I often forget some of the easy ways to do it. Carl lowered the ice bricks to the ground and sucked up a cloud of snow, "Actually, it would be nice to build an igloo." ”

"Carl is a typical magician, and he always thinks about solving everything with magic first. Xingli laughed, "There are many things that don't need to be complicated. ”

"Don't look at the excitement, let's do it together. Carl rolled his eyes, "Hurry up and set up the shelter so you can get some rest." ”

"Hey, hey. (To be continued.) )
