Chapter 0167: Heavy snow closes the road, shuttles underground!
Today's first update: Chapter 167, Gong Jin, please use your monthly ticket and urge me to whip me hard!
……
The top of the iceberg is very eye-catching, no matter where you are, you can make it out.
In the midst of that cloud and mist, where the frost is cold, is the absolute forbidden area where the polar iceberg is the coldest and most vicious, and even SSS-level talents dare not set foot in it!
Ten thousand injuries per second are just one of them, there, there is the most, strongest, and most ferocious [Snow Monster] army, and there is no doubt that there is a B-level boss [Snow Monster King] in charge!
Just imagine, who is full of food and will joke with their own lives?
Instead of looking for death, it is better to move between the hills and find a way out in the part below the halfway up the mountain, where the ice injury is not cold enough!
Although this is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to lose direction, at least the external threat is much smaller!
If you find a [Hot Spring], then you can fill up the state and go on the road, and the sporadic [Snow Monster] is not to the point of death for those who have the ability to break through to this level!
Under normal circumstances, it will not be one person who climbs over the three mountains, although the polar icebergs are vast, even more than the rainforest of the sixth layer, but as long as the large army of trialists has set foot here, there will definitely be temporary teams of all sizes formed!
If you stand and look at it from a distance, you can see the snow-white icebergs and the dense army of trialists climbing like ants!
In extremely bad weather, the trialists will lose the desire to fight, even the belligerent Shura!
The only thought is to get out of this dead cold ghost place as soon as possible!
With blood shedding all the time, instead of engaging in pointless battles with other trialists, it is better to unite as one, find the [Hot Springs], fight the [Snow Monsters], and climb over the icebergs!
The strong are always lonely, and only the truly strong dare to set foot on the polar iceberg alone!
And only the strongest of the strong not only dare to go deep alone, but also challenge the limit and point to the top of the mountain!
With Xu Kun's current moving speed, even if the iceberg is extremely wide and high, it didn't take him much time to follow the snow and come to the foot of the iceberg!
Xu Kun couldn't tell how many ice injuries there were, because his health bar was always full!
Looking up, the iceberg is at least at a 70° angle!
In such a steep situation, even those who can fly have to think about how to settle down!
And it is said that the strong winds that blow from time to time from the third mountain storm, Thunder Mountain, although they cannot cause harm to people, but they are wrapped in snowflakes in the sky, and even a powerful flying race does not dare to try to fly too high!
Because once the snowstorm gets out of control, you may spend half a day climbing the distance, and it will be in vain!
It is true: it is difficult to cross the birds, and it is difficult to cross the mountains!
One step at a time, is the best choice to climb over the iceberg!
After Xu Kun looked at it for a while, except for the top of the mountain hidden in the clouds, the rest of the place was covered by snowflakes, and he couldn't see the situation clearly, shook his head, and took out the Chengying Sword!
Dancing the Shadow Sword, the sharp blade of the sword effortlessly plunged into the snow, piercing through the ice!
The power of nature still needs to be feared, Xu Kun is not afraid of the ice injuries that inflict him at all times, but he is also afraid that a gust of wind will blow him away!
In his left hand, he took out the [Ultimate Flame Spirit Sword] that could no longer keep up with the pace of his time!
Then tiptoe a little and rush towards the steep mountain wall!
At his speed, his toes hit the soft snow, not even leaving a footprint!
It's not flying, but it's almost flying!
But inevitably, the overlapping snowflakes hit Xu Kun, trying to stop his rapid progress!
At galloping speed, even a weak snowflake turns into an extremely sharp ice blade!
It didn't take long for Xu Kun's whole person to become a bulldozer, and the pressure accumulated by the heavy snowdrifts, coupled with the gravity brought by the almost upside-down suspension, even Xu Kun's ultra-high movement speed was inevitably slowed down!
This is also the biggest challenge for many people who rely on high movement speed to climb over the iceberg quickly!
Snow can crush a person!
At this time, the [Ultimate Flame Spirit Sword] in Xu Kun's left hand exerted its effect!
"Rage of the Dragon!"
The roaring fire dragon rushed forward angrily, the snowflakes melted, the ice melted, and the dim vision became extremely clear after the fire dragon wreaked havoc!
But the coverage area of [Rage of the Burning Dragon] is only 500*500, and he can only barely empty the snow piled up in front of Xu Kun, when the fire dragon is still raging, Xu Kun's figure is already higher!
Choke!
A sword was inserted into the solid ice surface, Xu Kun spit out a breath of hot air, and then the hot air instantly froze into ice!
The whole person, hanging upside down, is half-hung on the mountain wall.
Just rushed up for a second, the snowflakes piled up on his body were so thick that he couldn't breathe, and after stopping at this moment, the snow fell down all over his body, boom, and it didn't take long for an avalanche to be triggered below!
The higher you go, the heavier the snow!
"It seems that it is not possible to bury your head in the air!" Xu Kun wiped off the snow that covered his entire face!
But he didn't get depressed because of this, after all, the snow was still hard for him!
It was just a temptation!
After a short rest, Xu Kun decisively turned on the stunt [Hell Wind] on the [Purgatory Wind Demon Boots]!
The black wind rose from the soles of Xu Kun's feet, forming a barrier of 15 square meters!
Within the range, the snow that has not melted for years has been swept away, and all the falling snowflakes have been swept away by the evil wind!
Around Xu Kun, a vacuum zone was formed, and even the originally cold temperature rose a lot!
[Hell Wind] only has sixty seconds, but the storm moves with his body, so in the next sixty seconds, Xu Kun has no scruples!
The Chengying Sword left shallow pits on the surface of the thick iceberg, and when Xu Kun passed by, it would be quickly buried by the snow!
Sixty seconds passed, the black evil wind disappeared, and Xu Kun suddenly felt a chill in his body!
Hold on to the hilt of your sword and sink your feet into the snow!
Damage values are already starting to appear above your head.
-560,+560!
After the [Rock Armor] was broken, Xu Kun's own blood bar began to fall, but what was dropped in the last second was replenished in the next second!
Sixty seconds of speed, although Xu Kun's speed has been reduced a lot because of the angle of climbing, but he has climbed fifty or sixty thousand meters, but according to the calculation of this ice injury, the height he is currently at is probably less than half of the mountain?
The length of this so-called fastest road is more than 100,000 meters!
Even if the hypotenuse is longer than the elevation, it proves that the polar icebergs are really too high!
can't help but make Xu Kun think of a poem inherited from ancient China: Woohoo, the danger is high, the difficulty of the iceberg is difficult to reach the blue sky!
"I heard that the elevation of the highest Hima Mountain in the ancient blue star is less than nine thousand meters, compared with this polar iceberg, it is simply the difference between ants and elephants, but this is only the shortest of the three mountains!"
Xu Kun couldn't help but be a little speechless!
At this time, going down, I can't see things clearly, and going up, it's not the same as at the foot of the mountain, the snowflakes in the sky are like a curtain, covering the sky, Xu Kun only stood for a while, and was almost buried by a thick layer of snow!
"Go on!" Xu Kun danced with his sword, and the freshly piled up snow around him was instantly swept away!
In the palm of your hand, a flaming bird emerges!
"Red Sparrow!"
The three flame birds were thrown out by Xu Kun one by one, and then when Xu Kun approached a certain position, it exploded!
The power of the explosion made the snowflakes in the sky break in an instant!
With the help of the three "red birds", Xu Kun advanced thousands of meters!
The [Infernal Wind Demon Boots]'s stunt [Hell Wind] is undoubtedly the most suitable for blocking Blizzard, but at this moment, it has already entered the CD!
Then, in order to prevent this heavy snow from burying him, Xu Kun could only choose a stupid way!
All the skills that can help him clear the snow that gets in his way are used by him one by one!
"Flame Bomb!"
"Burning Plains!"
"Storm of Blades!"
"Whirlwind of Fire Dance!"
For this blizzard, only fire-type attacks and wind-type attacks can play a role!
For example, the group attacks of [Earth Shaking and Mountain Shaking] and [Blood Poison Ten Thousand Miles] have no repercussions when they are hit!
After all the skills that can clear the heavy snow enter the CD, Xu Kun can only swing the Shadow Sword attached to the [Fireline: Strengthened] to clear the way!
The further up, the snow was already so heavy that it was endless, making Xu Kun feel that he had been smashed by the snow, and here it seemed that even the air was frozen, and it was drowsy, which made people feel extremely depressed!
Even Xu Kun's breathing became extremely difficult, just like when he was entangled in the blue silver grass at the beginning of the novice trial!
The speed, unsurprisingly, slowed down, it was really a foot in a deep pit of snow, and it was really not fast!
After running for a while, Xu Kun finally saw the first [hot spring]!
The surrounding snow melts because of the presence of this hot spring, turning into a pure stream of water that merges into the hot spring that is bubbling outward!
Xu Kun changed his direction, passed through the thick snow that was enough to bury several of him, and came to the side of the [Hot Spring]!
He didn't need to use the [Hot Spring]'s built-in blood return function to restore blood, but he was really tired of climbing the mountain all the way through the heavy snow!
Sitting next to the hot spring, Xu Kun kept patting the snow on his body, and under the heat of the hot spring, the snow water flowed down the gap of the rock guard, and after a while, it converged into a pool at the bottom of Xu Kun's feet!
"It didn't take a lot of time, but the higher you go, the faster you go, the faster you can't get up!"
According to the damage value of -1060 above his head, Xu Kun judged that he had climbed to a height of 70%!
But now, a wide range of group attack skills are on cooldown, and he is now running in the snow, and he can't even exert 1/10 of his speed!
"The snow is too big, and if there is no heavy snow to close the road, no matter how high the polar iceberg is, it won't take much time for me!"
Xu Kun thought about it, and suddenly he was stunned, and thought of a skill on his body that he had never used before!
【Ground Travel】
Grade: B-level special skills
Effect: Dives underground to a depth of no more than 10 meters, maintains 60% of its own speed, and becomes invalid after taking damage, breaking away from the ground, and actively attacking, and the effect lasts for 10S
Energy Cost: 100
Cooldown: 300S
This B-level skill obtained from the Earth Dragon Group, put on Xu Kun's body, has become the most frustrating existence, and it is not even as good as his E-level skills!
And in the same way, in the case of being infested by ice injuries all the time, this [Earth Walking] skill is also invalid!
But why is Xu Kun considering this skill now?
Thinking about it, he pulled out a scroll from his backpack.
【Skill Enhancement Scroll】
Grade: D-grade
Description: It contains special powers that give skills stronger stats, which can be used to increase skill levels or improve the skill format!
Functions: 100% Level +1 for Skills below D-Rank, 80% chance for C-level skills to be optimized, 20% chance for Level +1, 20% chance for B-level skills to be optimized, 1% chance for Level +1!
This [Skill Enhancement Scroll] is similar to the S-rank scroll I used to strengthen [Spark Immortal] when I used it in the first place!
This is also one of the few things that was put away by Xu Kun when he was on the fifth layer before!
Originally, the grade was only E-rank, but through the bonus of the Son of Destiny and Luck, it was advanced to D-rank!
The highest is to upgrade B-level skills!
Xu Kun hadn't thought about which skill to use this scroll for, but now, he wanted to try it, strengthen the [Earth Walk] skill, and see if there were any surprises!
Just do it, Xu Kun tore open the scroll.
[Ding, the skill enhancement scroll is successful, please select the skill you need to strengthen!] 】
"I'll choose a B-level skill land!"
[Ding, choose successfully, start strengthening!] 】
[Ding, the enhancement is successful, the level of the underground line is +1, and it is upgraded to an A-level skill: underground shuttle!] 】
This D-rank scroll is very well-behaved, it didn't use the S-rank scroll to strengthen [Spark Immortal] like before, and it gave yourself a friendly reminder!
Looking at the skill of strengthening success, Xu Kun's eyes suddenly lit up!
【Underground Shuttle】
Grade: A-level special skills
Effect: Dive into the ground to a depth of no more than 20 meters, keep 80% of your speed forward, effect duration: 30S!
Energy Cost: 200
Cooldown: 300S
A series of restrictions have been lifted, increasing the speed and duration of movement underground by 20 seconds at once, and the energy consumption has increased by 100, but it doesn't hurt!
Shaking off the remaining snowflakes on his body, Xu Kun decisively used this skill!
The next moment, Xu Kun's body loosened, and a sense of weightlessness made him a little dizzy!
The body fell directly, as if he was not stepping on the frozen frozen permafrost, but on the surface of the water!
When he fell twenty meters, Xu Kun had a down-to-earth feeling, surrounded by frozen soil with ice ballast, but Xu Kun stretched out his hand to hold it, although he could feel a trace of stagnation, but where the palm passed, there was no obstruction, just like ...... Same in the water!
The speed is slightly limited, but the weakened part is not worth mentioning when the base movement speed is fast!
It can still burst out with a movement speed of nearly 1800 m/s!
In this way, Xu Kun shuttled through the frozen underground so fast, the pangolin was in tears when he saw it!
According to Xu Kun's estimate, he is still forty or fifty thousand meters away from the top of the iceberg, and with 80% of the movement speed underground, as long as he is in the right direction, he can successfully reach the top before the end of the [Underground Shuttle] duration!
All around, silent, this is a dead silence that can freeze everything!
There is no heavy snow to close the road, Xu Kun is like a fish in water, wandering freely!
When the duration of [Underground Shuttle] entered the countdown, Xu Kun suddenly felt a light in front of him, and after stepping out, it was no longer a soft and sunken snow, but a solid land!
Overhead, the sky is close at hand, you can reach out and hold it!
All around, the clouds and mist are shrouded, as if you are in a fairyland!
The scenery on the top of the mountain is exceptionally beautiful, and it is vast and spectacular beyond Xu Kun's imagination!
And the ice injury above his head, -1660 per second, is also telling him that he is indeed standing on the top of the iceberg at this moment!
He did it!
Just when Xu Kun was still intoxicated with the joy of reaching the summit and the rare beauty, a roar that was enough to cause an avalanche broke the peace of this mountaintop!
Xu Kun looked sideways, his eyes narrowed!
A monster as tall as a hill, covered in snow-white fur, and a pair of scarlet eyes were staring at him!
The deafening sound just now came from its mouth!
Beside him, dozens of shrunken monsters that were shorter than it, but also twice the height of Xu Kun, followed him, and soon, they surrounded Xu Kun!
Xu Kun glanced at it, and was about to reach out to summon the [Ten Thousand Races Illustrated Book]!
Unexpectedly, before he could make any moves, an illusory book appeared in front of him, and the pages turned with a clatter, and soon, a blank page detached from the book.
Then, at a very fast speed, you can draw the appearance of the mountain-like monster in front of you, and the surrounding monsters in the corners!
【Snow Monster King】
Grade: Grade B
