[Due to environmental factors, your body is in a state of [frostbite]]

[You take 101 cold damage!] ]

[Your resistance to the cold rises slightly!] ]

[Your specialty [Low Cold Resistance] has been upgraded to [Intermediate Cold Resistance]!] ]

[Specialty [Medium Cold Resistance]: Moderately increases your resistance to cold, when you take cold damage, the damage will be reduced by 100 points per frequency, and your resistance to debuffs such as freezing and hypothermia will increase]

[Due to environmental factors, your body is in a state of [frostbite]]

[You take 1 cold damage!] ]——

"Whew~"

Looking at the information swiped out on the system panel, Li Si breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was a little more rosy.

Finally won this specialty!

It's not in vain that I've been frozen for so many days.

When the body is constantly resisting the cold, Li Si's body's resistance to the cold is also gradually improving.

The effect of [Intermediate Cold Resistance] is enough for Li Si to have a certain resistance to ice skills in battle.

The effect of reducing damage is still secondary, the most important is the resistance to the negative status of ice skills.

Just like necromantic skills, the most tricky thing about ice skills is not the damage they cause, but the negative effects.

Even if the speed is slowed down by the cold in a battle, the battle that decides the winner in an instant can have a very big impact.

However, this is already the limit.

If you want to get [Advanced Cold Resistance], you can't simply get it by being cold.

These advanced specializations are only possible in rewarding missions.

This is also the reason why Lees no longer gains Cold Resistance after being damaged by Cold.

Li Si didn't hesitate at the moment, took out a thicker piece of clothing from the storage ring and put it on.

Although the cold resistance has increased, the body is not completely unaffected by the cold, and there will still be chills.

Now that he has obtained the [Intermediate Cold Resistance], Li Si doesn't need to continue to torture himself.

Putting on a thicker dress, Li Si moved his somewhat frozen hands and feet.

Fresh blood carried heat from his torso to his limbs, and Lees felt as if his body was alive again.

Looking up at the eastern sky,

Above the scattered forests of the plains, you can faintly see the rolling hills.

Although he didn't ride in a horse-drawn carriage or sleigh, Lees was not slow on foot.

It was almost through the entire central plains of the Kingdom of Dillon and into the eastern Correa hills.

It was also from the east that Warcraft and otherworldly creatures gradually began to become the protagonists of that land.

There are also some humans who live in the Correa Hills, but they are generally in an extremely difficult situation, dealing with the invasion of magical beasts and otherworldly creatures.

Snow wolves and ice storm bears are not uncommon in that area, and even frost giants and white dragons are also seen.

Without the protection of a strong professional, it is difficult for humans to defend themselves against those dangers.

The Kingdom of Dillon also wanted to conquer the Correa Hills, but suffered too much loss in the face of the invasion of demonic beasts, and had to abandon this land.

Before Duke Ward, the current King of Dillon, opened up a trade route, the Kingdom of Dillon simply ignored this place.

This is also the current dilemma of the Kingdom of Dillon, although the country occupies a vast area, there are not too many places suitable for human habitation.

Li Si shook his head, he was not from the Dillon Kingdom, so he couldn't afford to do this.

After Duke Ward ascended the throne as King of the Kingdom of Dillon, he had chosen to open up the trade route through the Correa hills all the way to the city of Ward on the eastern coast.

It was a city that Duke Ward had built from scratch and had grown in recent years.

His Majesty the King of Strands also had his considerations, and the reason why he had restricted other traveling merchants from taking this route was to keep all the benefits of this trade route in the hands of his family.

But now it's different, he's already His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Dillon.

The whole kingdom is his private property.

What he wants to do now is to make the entire Dillon Kingdom prosper faster and recover from the shadow of the [Demon Gate] in Ice Peak City.

King Strand's decision to open up the Eastern Trade Route was a thrill to many.

In the past few days, even if the weather is cold, from time to time people take a sleigh to the east.

Aside from exploring the trade routes, Li Si couldn't think of any reason why those people chose to rush east when it was so cold.

Lees regained his mind and returned to arcane research, and his figure gradually disappeared in the wind and snow.

——

Correa hills, in the middle of the forest.

As you enter the hills, a large forest of pines and cedars connects the low hills.

The goose-feathered snow kept falling, and the pine trees were covered with thick snow.

There is only the "rustling" sound of snowflakes falling between heaven and earth, which can better set off the silence between heaven and earth.

"Roar!!

Suddenly, the roar of an angry beast resounded through the hills, and the sound seemed to spread out in a special vibration, and the snow on the pine trees fell in different places.

I saw a white figure suddenly rush out of the forest and slam into the hills.

The snow drifted like an explosion between the heavens and the earth, and the whole hill shook a little in the violent impact.

When the white figure reappeared, he could recognize that it was a sturdy and tall ice storm bear.

The Ice Storm Bear is an extraordinary magical beast that lives in the Northlands, and an adult Ice Storm Bear can generally reach the strength of the Silver High Rank.

Ice Storm Bears are extraordinary magical beasts that generally do not need to hibernate like ordinary bear-like beasts, but they rarely go out, spending the winter in their hideouts and only wandering outside when foraging for food.

The Ice Storm bear was strong, its snow-white fur was shiny and smooth, and it didn't bother to starve or weaken from the onset of winter.

I don't know who provoked one of the high-level predators of the Northlands.

The Ice Storm Bear shook his head and pulled it out of the dirt under the snow, his small eyes full of anger as he searched for the person he had just disturbed his rest.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the shadows behind the Ice Storm Bear, and the dagger in his hand flashed with a cold glow and stabbed towards the back of the Ice Storm Bear's neck.

The dagger stabbed hard at the back of the Ice Storm's neck fur, which glowed with a faint white light, but it didn't cut through the fur as the attacker had hoped.

The dagger seemed to pierce the ice, and the tip of the blade slid out without causing actual damage.

The Ice Storm Bear realized at this time, turned around angrily, and its huge body drove the bear's paws towards the attacker.

Seeing this, the attacker did not dwell on it, and dodged one after another to easily dodge the attack of the ice storm bear, and landed on the pine tree not far away.

"Tsk, it's troublesome!"

The attacker was none other than Lis, who had entered the Correa Hills for training, and he was hunting this silver high-level Ice Storm Bear at this time.

"That should be Ice Storm Bear's innate skill [Ice Armor], it's really troublesome."

In the short battle just now, Li Si has already really felt the strength of this Ice Storm Bear's defense, the hard bear skin and the ice spell skills he has mastered are talented, and it is difficult to even break through the Ice Storm Bear's defense with his attacks alone.

"It's easy to break this layer of ice armor with the Blue Ball Technique, but"

"That's interesting, isn't it?"

The corners of Li Si's mouth turned up, and he did not choose to take out the staff, but held the dagger on his right hand, and his body squatted slightly to begin to accumulate strength.

The Ice Storm Bear quickly discovered Lees' location, and with a roar, a blue ice ball with a chilling aura appeared in front of it and smashed it towards Lees.

Rumble!

The pine trees beneath Lees' feet were torn apart by the Ice Storm Bear's attack, but Lees was no longer here.

Ice Storm Bear's defense is very strong among the Warcraft of the same level, and his attack ability is not weak, the only shortcoming is that his speed is very slow.

Or that the flexibility is low.

You may be able to reach the same level in a straight sprint, but it can be a bit clumsy in combat and small movements.

Since Li Si did not choose to use the power of spells, but relied on his own melee ability, he naturally had to grasp this weakness well.

The black figure suddenly appeared on the left side of the Ice Storm Bear, raising its wrist flexibly, and the tip of the dagger stabbed into the Ice Storm Bear's eyes.

Since your skin is hard enough, target the areas where your fur can't cover it!

But Ice Storm Bear isn't so easy to take.

Although it was slow, the Ice Storm Bear reacted and closed his eyes.

The same white glow appears in the spot of the Ice Storm Bear's eyes.

As before, Lis's dagger was deflected again.

Ice Storm Bear's innate ability [Ice Armor] is somewhat similar to the mage's spell [Deflection Force Field].

There are generally two types of protective spells used by mages.

One is a shield-type protection spell, similar to the four-ring spell [Advanced Elemental Shield], which can directly negate attacks until the power of the shield is exhausted.

The second type is the refraction type of protective spell, which is similar to the four-ring spell [Powerful Deflection Force Field], which builds a special force field to change the direction of the attack and does not fall on the spell user.

The second type of protection spell is mostly defensive against physical attacks, which is more targeted.

Therefore, the current situation of the Ice Storm Bear presents a big problem for Li Si.

Lees didn't stop when the attack failed again, and his calm eyes showed that he had expected this development.

Putting the dagger in his hand into the space ring, a heavy black steel shield appeared in Li Si's hand.

——

[You have switched weapons, and the effect of [Ten Thousand Laws Returned to Hiding - Li Si] is activated!] ]

[You enter the [Return] state, and the skill damage is increased by 10%]——

This shield was specially selected by Li Si when he left Bright City.

There are no enchantments and no special effects.

This shield has only two characteristics, one is hard and the other is heavy.

With the strength of a Silver-level warrior in Lis, you need to hold it in both hands if you want to use this shield properly.

And now because the shield appeared on Lees's right hand, above the head of the Ice Storm Bear.

Although Li Si didn't hold the shield with both hands, it was relatively easy to control the shield and smash it into the face of the Ice Storm Bear when the basic specialty of the warrior class [Zhuwu Mastery] was upgraded to [Intermediate Shield Mastery].

Warrior Skill [Shield Slamming]!

Unlike the hammer, the shield was so large that the Ice Storm Bear couldn't dodge at all, and he ate the blow solidly.

The hail bear was a little dizzy when it was hit the head, but the pain also stimulated its bestiality.

Roar ~ Roar ~ Roar!

Under the roar, the Ice Storm Bear went completely berserk, and the little reason of battle was completely gone, wielding its huge body to attack indiscriminately in all directions.

Li Si naturally did not have the habit of standing in place and being beaten in vain, and after putting away his shield at the speed of light, he retreated into the distance.

The storage ring on his hand flashed, and a longbow appeared in Li Si's hand.

After obtaining the [Ten Thousand Laws Returning to Tibet-Li Si] specialty and determining this special fighting style, Li Si specially prepared this spatial ring to store the weapons he prepared for himself separately.

Even the position of the weapons in this ring has been specially set up, just to shorten the time for weapon replacement as much as possible during the battle and achieve a silky smooth transformation.

Li Si looked at the frantic ice storm bear not far away, which was venting his anger wantonly in the hilly forest.

"No wonder it's called Ice Storm, it's not wrong."

Slowly pulling out the longbow, the bow and arrow in Li Si's hand gradually surrounded by cyan light.

Hunter Skill [Wind Arrow]!

The cyan light pierced through the air, striking the Ice Storm Bear's scarlet left eye with precision.

A roar mixed with pain and anger sounded again, and Li Si's ears were a little uncomfortable.

"Does this Ice Storm bear still have sonic skills?"

Li Si shook his head, put away his longbow, and took out the somewhat scarred longsword.

Looking at the figure of the Ice Storm Bear rushing towards him, Li Si was a little enthusiastic.

In Ice Peak City, there are too many strong people, and with Li Si's ability as a warrior and hunter, there is no guarantee that he will be able to hide from other people's detection.

So throughout the process, Li Si relied on his ability as a mage to plot secretly.

Although the secrets of the arcane are fascinating enough, Lees has a big heart and does not want to give up on the advancement of other professional abilities.

What's more.

Hand-to-hand combat is the most exciting, isn't it?

Assassin Skill [Shadow Shuttle]!

Li Si appeared behind the Ice Storm Bear with a long sword, and slashed at the Ice Storm Bear's neck with a burst of the sword.

With the Ice Storm Bear losing its mind, the [Ice Armor]'s defenses are starting to weaken a bit.

Lees' sword slashed into the Ice Storm's neck, but was quickly stopped by the tight muscles and strong bones.

Even Lees' long sword was stuck deadly.

Without hesitation, Li Si gave up his long sword, turned and stepped back.

Looking at the Ice Storm Bear with a sword stuck behind him and red eyes, Li Si smiled and took out a brand-new black long sword, and then rushed towards the Ice Storm Bear.

Today, I'm sure I'm going to eat this bear's paw!

It was already dark, in the hills and caves.

The orange flames cooled the cave, and two huge shaved bear paws were pierced by the branches, sizzling under the flames.

Lees flipped the Ice Storm Bear's paws, took salt and spices from the storage ring, and carefully sprinkled them on top of the paws.

After a while, the enchanting aroma of flesh permeated the cave.

This Ice Storm bear is in the prime of life and is in the prime of life.

The quality of its bear's paw is also excellent, and it is also a rare delicacy in this land.

The wood of the bonfire comes from the surrounding pine wood, and when burned, it has a faint aroma of pine resin, which is even more flavorful.

Li Si didn't listen to the barbecue action in his hand, and suddenly said out loud:

"Friends outside, since you're here, why don't you enjoy this food with me?"
