As has been at the junction of the world several times.

Someone who had set foot in this world even before the town was founded.

Anrui has a very accurate grasp of the time spent on the journey.

On the morning of the fourth day, he led Lindsay to the snowy field.

It's been almost half a month since Lindsay left here.

Snow covered the land, and cold winds blew in the air from time to time, and a dead silence lingered on the land.

"It's so cold......"

It takes less than half an hour to enter the snowfield.

An Rui frowned and asked Lindsay beside him:

"When you came here to explore before, it was also the same temperature now?"

The unease in Anrui's mind is rapidly growing.

Listening to Lindsay's description before, he thought that the temperature change here would bring a certain crisis, but now the situation is much more than expected.

It's so cold!

Not to mention humans or animals, even if a demonic beast that has fused essentia, it is impossible to survive here for a long time if it does not have resistance to cold weather.

Worried, Anrui's actions were swift and urgent.

He asked, and just as Lindsay was about to answer, Anrui jumped next to a pine tree covered in snow and snow, and slammed into it with a swift and powerful punch.

Click-

The pine tree made an overwhelmed sound in an instant.

The collapsed giant smashed into the snowfield, stirring up a cloud of snow and dust, seriously obstructing the view.

After a few seconds, the white that floated in the air gradually fell.

And in front of Lindsay and Anrui, the dry and dead heart inside the pine tree was also presented in their eyes.

It was previously buried by heavy snow, and the actual state of the plant is unknown.

The tree actually froze long ago and then died.

“……”

Seeing this, Lindsay realized that she had misjudged before.

His description of this snowfield is that it is a dead place of low temperatures.

But that's still not accurate.

Lindsay's Ice Badger Claw Pendant helped him withstand the cold, causing him to misjudge the real threat of the snowfield.

At this moment, Lindsay took the [Ice Badger Claw Pendant] into the bag.

When the protective effect of this ornament wears off, the cold snap that swept through it immediately returned to its original state.

Lindsay's estimate of the temperature here is around -30 degrees Celsius.

But in addition to the low temperature, there is a refreshing chill in the air, which makes the already quite cold weather even more terrifying, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an icy forbidden area of life.

“……”

Lindsay lowered her head.

The Ice Badger Claw Pendant will definitely be worn in the future.

There was no reason for him to give up his strengths.

But this experience also taught Lindsay that in a new environment, it is important to pay attention to these details that are overlooked because of the gamer's ability.

Introspect yourself on this.

Lindsay also did not have an excuse to blame the mistake on the equipment, but frankly admitted her mistake:

"Uncle Anrui, I'm sorry, it was my miscalculation."

"I have a good resistance to cold weather, and I will definitely ...... in the future"

"Nothing." An Rui shook his head and told Lindsay not to take it seriously, "It's just that the temperature is relatively cold, and you can find that the appearance of this snowfield is a very timely reminder for the town." ”

With that, Anrui led Lindsay and continued to the depths of the snowfield.

The two walked all the way.

Or the route into the snow before Lindsay.

It wasn't long before they came across a snow pit that Lindsay had dug up when she had been examining the corpse on the ground. After a few days, the snow surface was mostly filled with fresh snow, with only a small depression that marked the experience of the excavation here.

Lindsay brings this up.

An Rui immediately pointed to their nearest hollow in the snow and confirmed:

"The body found before is here?"

Lindsey nodded.

An Rui immediately stepped forward and kicked him to the ground.

The movements of the fifth-stage warrior were fast and powerful, and the new snow, which was not strong enough, was quickly kicked into a white mist that drifted into the sky, revealing a piece of back fur from the corpse of a fire fox underneath.

"Come up for me!"

An Rui reached down, pinched the back of the fire fox, and pulled the whole body out alive from under the snow.

The appearance of the firefox before his death is vivid.

The leaping action in the run, and the terror in the beast's pupils, maintained the scene of the last moment of its life.

This thing is not lightweight.

But An Rui's hand fluttered like a toy.

He grabbed the corpse in his hand and stared at it for a moment, his brow furrowing more and more.

"Ahh

Anrui sighed.

He threw the corpse of the fire fox to the side and smashed it into the snow, stirring up the white dust in the sky again, and judged with great certainty:

"Sure enough, what caused this guy's death was not an ordinary cold snap, but the essentia changes contained within it."

This is not different from Lindsay's speculation.

But An Rui's attitude when he opened his mouth at this moment made Lindsay sure that the other party had more specific means of exploration.

He asked with some curiosity:

"Uncle An Rui, I found these corpses before, but there is no corresponding means to check them, how do you hold them in your hands and immediately see the problem?"

Anrui immediately explained:

"All awakened beings, as long as they can sublimate their skills five times and become ascendants, they will naturally have the same clear perception of essentia as I do."

Five-stage ascendant......

In this regard, Lindsay's panel as a [gamer] is very clear.

As an awakened person, his level has advanced from the original stage of [Sprout] to the current stage of [Game Lovers] in the second stage.

But let's talk about coming to the five stages where Anrui is.

I'm afraid it's going to take a long time to get there.

"Isn't there any other way to get this ability?"

Lindsay asked casually, he thought An Rui would shake his head in denial, but the other party nodded:

"There are other ways."

"Professions such as merchants, messengers, artists, or appraisers already have an advantage in terms of perception, and they can also acquire corresponding abilities in advance."

“……”

Well, it's still a skill that Lindsay can't get his hands on for the time being.

His essentia has locked the gamers.

However, it can be considered that in the future, if you combine the perception ability with the identification skills of [product], there may be new development prospects.

The two ended their conversation and continued their journey deeper into the snowfield.

On the snowfield, it was inconvenient for An Rui to take Lindsay with him in the previous way.

With his exaggerated strength and speed, leading a man through the snow would make them quite embarrassed by the snow.

Right now, it's not too far from the ultimate goal.

The two of them turned to walk and began to make their way through the thick snow.

During this time, Lindsay also took out the planks and made a pair of planks for Anrui.

In this way, on the night of the same day, the two who insisted on moving forward came to the edge of the cliff and saw the climbing vine that extended down to the pitch-black void.

The frozen vines were the same as when Lindsay left before.

During this period, the cold wind that blew from time to time from below was also determined by Anrui again, and it did contain some kind of cold essentia effect. It was only because the essentia interference in it came from the source, and there was only a subtle indirect effect in the wind, that Lindsay had not been able to detect before.

“……”

The two stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down.

After a few seconds of silence, An Rui suddenly spoke:

"Lindsay, you're waiting for me here just like before."

"I'll go down and come back as soon as possible."

As he spoke, An Rui prepared to move down the vine and enter the Black Mountain World.

But at this moment, Lindsay in the back called An Rui:

"Uncle Anrui, I'm going down with you too!"
