"Is this kind of corrosive source force fluctuation similar to your source force trait, Mentor?"

"There's a big difference. ”

Hade thought for a moment, and explained in a relatively easy-to-understand contrast, "The nature of my corrosive power is very ferocious, while the source power fluctuations of the Northern Sigh Peak are relatively mild, or should I say ruthless. ”

The creatures that can survive on the extremely cold frozen soil in the north for a long time are deeply affected by the peak of sighs, and must use their source power to resist the extremely cold climate that combines this erosion of the source power at all times, and if they can't resist it, they can only die. Therefore, the northern region is a typical area for the survival of the fittest, and it is impossible for weak creatures to survive and reproduce here.

Because of this, humans or demonic beasts that can live in this area for a long time are quite strong. Of course, due to this high level of pressure, the humans who usually survive in this area for a long time, even the civilians, are very physically fit, but the average life expectancy of most people is about ten years lower than that of other parts of the empire.

Desi realized: "Then if the master and I cultivate in the northern region, it will greatly improve the cultivation effect of the inheritance." ”

"Well, that's theoretical, but we're not northerners, and we're not used to living in cold climates for a long time, so if we stay here for too long, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect on our cultivation. ”

Hade looked at the silver-haired female apprentice, "And in terms of your strength stage, in the area far away from the peak of sighs, you don't care about that faint influence at all. ”

Des nodded, and instead of further talking, she concentrated on the mount under her, while paying careful attention to the other two long-haired yaks who were responsible for carrying most of the two men's luggage.

The silver-haired female apprentice is very studious. Never disagreeing with Hader's teachings is both a strength and a weakness. Of course. This kind of near-blind trust is only true of Have, who feels that it may be difficult for her to change this character.

There's nothing wrong with that. Hide didn't think Dess could be the kind of superwoman who was perfectly independent, and there was no need for it. In any case, take care of the silver-haired girl who always follows silently behind you.

A week later, the two had entered the tundra region of the northern part of the empire. There are at least two and a half months left in this year's cold season, and of course the climate in the northern region is very harsh at this time, with the fine particles of snow falling slowly in the air obscuring the roads that have been opened up by long-term traffic, and the snow moss and low shrubs that can survive in the extreme cold north are also covered in snow, and only the soft white undulating curves can slightly distinguish the difference in the terrain.

The only ones that can be used as a signpost during the day are the softwood cedars endemic to the northern region. These tenacious boreal plant belts divide the vast snowfields into a roughly recognizable landscape. Of course, Head had something more convenient to discern the general direction, a compass-like magic direction guide by the hands of the elf craftsmen.

"We first headed northwest, to the no-man's land not far from the Sigh Mountains. ”

In this way, the journey of the two of them is more circuitous, and it is more continuous than going directly to the northern hub city. Although Snow City, the only settled city in the region, is located in the middle foothills of the Sighing Mountains, it's always a bit odd to have such an itinerary.

Although it was not necessary to explain everything to the silver-haired female apprentice, Hade still explained: "I want to hunt some relatively rare Warcraft crystal nuclei to assist in inheritance cultivation, and I can also adapt to fighting in such a frozen area by the way." ”

De nodded without the slightest objection. She understood the meaning of Have's words, and the destination she went to with her mentor this time was bound to encounter all kinds of battles.

According to Head's scheduled itinerary, the area that the two men passed through was no man's land. The terrain of the tundra is rugged, and the seemingly flat snow fields are often dotted with sharp rocks. The advantages of the long-haired yak are fully manifested.

These fat, pig-shaped beasts are a native northern beast that took a long time for Werther's territory to tame, and they possess a thick fat body to withstand the extreme cold temperatures. The thick hairs on the body not only protect against the cold, but also intertwine with each other to form a tough natural armor. With the support of superior body weight and liliang, the thick hoof feet can effortlessly break through the snow and insert into the solid frozen soil, and the thick, tough hoof feet are undamaged even when stepping on the sharp rocks under the snow.

The most interesting thing is that these giant pigs, which were originally considered cumbersome with round bellies, have become important travel aids. The hairy yak's bulging belly is very effective at compacting the snow layer, forming a slide-like arc in the snow beneath it, and the strong pig's trotters are constantly planing to glide through the snow for long distances.

Although the movements of the long-haired yaks seem to be comical and feel like they are clumsily gliding through the mud, it is undeniable that this way of traveling is very energy-saving, not slow, and the person sitting on the saddle of their back feels very stable, even if lying down on the special large saddle to sleep, it will not be affected by the bumps to rest.

"It's a great mount for long journeys in the northern tundra. "It was also the first time for Hide to experience this special mount in person, and he admired the northerners' skill in domesticating the beasts, and he was able to select such an excellent breed of mount from many wild beasts.

"Mentor, what kind of demonic beast do you want to hunt?"

The two had already gone through a journey of about twenty days, not to mention meeting people on the way, not even a single moving creature, and the silver-haired female apprentice was a little skeptical that there would really be wild monsters in this area.

"The white slime that only exists in the Northern Sigh Mountain Range, this is a high-level slime, usually not lower than the eighth order, but the appearance is difficult to describe specifically, because this kind of slime can be simulated, they can perfectly hide themselves, simulate the appearance of other magical beasts and even some skills, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, it is quite a tricky monster. ”

"But the native demonic beasts in the Northland are so rare, this kind of simulated slime doesn't make sense even if it turns into other demonic beasts, right?"

Heard Des's doubts, and explained with a smile: "The species of native demonic beasts in the Northland are indeed relatively rare, but there are still many near the Sigh Mountains, such as these long-haired yaks that we use as mounts have many wild communities, as well as crystal leopards, unicorn snow sculptures, and so on. ”

Explaining some of the unique wild monster ecology of the north to Des, the silver-haired female apprentice listened attentively, and she guessed that Hide was in great need of the kind of mimetic slime crystal nucleus that she had never heard of to improve her abilities.

"Of course, most of them are long-haired yaks. ”

Des realized: "No wonder the mentor asked me to pay attention to the movement habits of these long-haired yaks. ”

"Well, this is to familiarize you with the habits of the long-haired yak, in order to distinguish the real from the fake. White slimes are best at blending into wild yak herds to hunt for prey. ”

Since the two of them began their journey, Hader would take some time off during the day to let the four hairy yak mounts dig through the snow in search of snow moss to eat. Desi was originally a little puzzled, the feed carried by the two was very sufficient, at first she thought that this was the young tutor just in case, cautiously saving materials, but now she knows the real reason.

"Once the White Slime is simulated to form other magical beasts, even if I use high-level source force perception, I can't tell the difference, and I can only guess the authenticity from some subtle movements," Hade said in an accentuated tone, "However, when it is perfectly simulated, it is also the best chance to hunt it, because at this time, the position of the crystal nucleus in its body will stabilize." ”

Des understood what Hade meant: "That is to say, this slime often imitates the formation of a long-haired yak, and the crystal nucleus in its body is located in the middle of the ribcage like a real long-haired yak. ”

"Yes, hunting this white slime requires you to be the main attacker, after all, this slime is very resistant to my erosive source force, so I can only use it as a containment in the hunting process. ”

Although the white slime's mimicry ability is strong, it is a simulation rather than a copy after all, and the source force that protects its own crystal nucleus is still the slime's original erosion power, and the same sex is repulsive, and Hade is really not sure that he can kill this kind of guy who is extremely resistant to his erosion power with one blow.

Hade was also helpless, he was very desperate to use the white slime's crystal nucleus to cultivate some special skills to cope with this trip to the Northlands.

This trip to the north will inevitably lead to a meeting with the eccentric girl of the Insecter family. And what is very unfortunate is that as the object of the trial of that Miss Yuai Triida, a fierce battle at the level of life and death is inevitable. In addition, the Honor of the North Ceremony that the Saykert family decided to perform after the end of the cold season must also be resolved, this ritual is too dangerous, and it is likely to greatly damage the vitality of the Insekt family.

And whether it is the tangled situation in the imperial capital or the threat of the Elven Empire on the southwest border, the Liliang of the Insekert family is needed, and the Liliang of the Insekert family cannot lose much in at least five years.

Of course, the premise is that Head can successfully win over the Insecat family as an ally of the royal family.

A few days later, the two approached the Sigh Mountains, and sure enough, they saw a large herd of wild long-haired yaks on the snowfield at the foot of the mountain.

"Carefully distinguish if there is any weird guy in these giant pigs, and find that the target must be trapped if not killed in one hit, and the hairy yak herd is used to acting in groups, and once frightened, they will flee en masse, and it is difficult to pursue it. ”

"We have to try to minimize accidental injuries, and long-haired yaks have a strong memory of the enemy aura that hunts them. After that, I need to rely on the liliang of the huge wild yak herd in the north to not make a bad impression on them. ”

The silver-haired female apprentice felt a little pressured, and even the most admired mentor couldn't directly confront this monster, could she really live up to the mentor's expectations?

"Don't worry, Desi, this kind of white slime is mainly good at hiding itself and escaping, in fact, it is not strong in itself," seeing Desi's slight nervousness, Hade tried to ease her emotions, "Why don't we have a competition, see who discovers the simulated white slime first, the winner can let the other party unconditionally agree to a request for himself, how about it?"
