Chapter 79 Extremely Cold Place

There are a lot of NPCs in the city, and there are more than thirty people responsible for municipal management. I only explained some general things to a dozen of them in one night. Rose and Eagle are there for specific things anyway, so there is no need for me to explain them one by one. Explain! When it's almost dawn, go offline to eat something and get ready, and then you can go online!

When we came up again, everyone was already here, and I was the last one to arrive! The eagle is actually here, he is here to see her off!

"The city will be handed over to you while I'm away. The city rewards should come out in the next few days. Please help me deal with it. It's best to build the special buildings as city rewards as soon as possible! In addition, the dragon's that the system mentioned The siege test may break out at any time, you'd better pay attention and keep enough garrison in the city at all times!"

"Don't worry! How can I still not know! The entire Dark Legion lives in the city, and the Dragon King is also here with us. Isn't the Head Dragon here to give us rewards?"

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible!"

"rest assured!"

After a simple farewell, we left Essinger. Speaking of which, there were a total of 6 people in the team, but in fact it looked like more! There is Ling beside me, and Shura Ziyi also has an Asura with me. It is obviously an 8-man team! The mounts are just right, Asura has a horse, and I just happened to bring Shura Ziyi with me. The reader rode the wild boar with Daguofan, I took Ling to ride Ye Ying, and Su Mei and Bing Bing rode Xiao Xue!

The map the old man gave us yesterday was drawn starting from the Snowy City, which means we have to go to the Snowy City first. After entering the teleportation array, we directly reported the city name. After a flash of white light, we appeared in the teleportation array of the Snow City!

The first feeling I felt when I came out was cold!

"Boss! Why is it so cold here!" He started shouting as soon as the big pot of rice came out, and white mist sprayed out as he spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew in, making everyone shiver except me! The magic dragon suit is impervious to water and fire, and is not afraid of heat or cold. The cold wind is nothing. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't wear a helmet, I wouldn't be able to feel the temperature! But it is indeed cold here, and the feeling on my face is still very obvious! For those of us, even breathing creates a huge white mist!

"This seems to be a northern city!" I don't know the specific location of the Snow City in mainland China, so I can only roughly guess that it is a northern city! But my guess is not wrong at all. This is in the north. To compare with the real map, this should be the Heilongjiang area.

"Let's buy some warm clothes first?" Shura Ziyi couldn't stand the cold anymore!

Seeing how miserable they were from the cold, Ling stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and everyone immediately stretched out their crouched bodies!

"Why aren't you cold anymore?" The poisoner touched his whole body strangely.

Ling said proudly: "Gathering Energy Technique! Black Mage's Advanced Skill!"

"Then do we still want to go shopping for clothes?"

"No need!" Ling said affirmatively: "With my current ability, I can last for 10 hours at a time. Putting on cotton-padded clothes will trigger action!"

Su Mei spoke: "I think it's better to buy it and bring it with you. Just don't wear it for now! If there is an emergency and we are separated or trapped, it is better to have it! Besides, a piece of clothing also takes up a lot of space." It doesn’t take much space, so there is no loss if you carry it!”

"All right!"

I still listened to Su Mei’s advice and went shopping for clothes first! After leaving the teleportation array hall and reaching the street, I realized that it was not ordinary cold here. The entire road was covered with thick white frost. The surfaces of the buildings on the roadside are covered with ice flowers, and the eaves are covered with ice picks! It felt strange for the eight of us (including the two humanoid pets) to stand on the street. The people around us were all wrapped in thick cotton clothes and had animal skin leggings tied to their shoes. Although a few people were wearing armor, they all looked very bloated. It feels like something is stuffed inside the armor! Suddenly we, who had nothing on the outside of our armor, became the center of attention. Everyone looked at us strangely as they walked past us.

A player wrapped in animal skin suddenly appeared from the nearby store. "Are you guys from out of town? It's freezing here. Do you want to buy some things to keep out the cold and wind?" It seems that this is a guy from a clothing store. He knows that it's cold in the city and players from out of town can't stand it. They must be eager to find it. When there was a place to buy clothes, he would wait at the entrance of the teleportation array to do business!

"Where is your store?"

He pointed to the side where he had just jumped out. "That's it!"

So close! It's only a dozen steps away from the gate of the teleportation hall. You really know how to choose a place! We immediately walked over, dismounted and went into the store to make a big purchase!

You never know the full extent of things until you see them! Although this store looks small on the outside, it's so big inside. It's obviously a hyperspace store. The store has quite a complete range of items. In addition to cold-proof clothes, there are also a lot of messy things. They all went to pick out clothes. I wouldn’t use them anyway, so I looked at other things first.

I picked up a strange-looking thing that looked a lot like the pedal irons I installed for Ye Ying. "What is this stuff?"

The guy in animal skins turned out to be the shop owner. I thought he was the waiter at first! Hearing my question, he ran over quickly. "This thing is a snow horseshoe!" He took out a similar one from the side. When his fingers moved the mechanism, there was a click, and the thing actually unfolded and looked like a snowshoe! "It's cold here. It's okay in the city. When we leave the city, there's snow everywhere. It's more than a foot deep when you step on it. The war horse can't walk at all. But with this, it's different. As long as you put it on the horse, you can You won't sink when running on the snow! Also, this thing has other functions!" He pressed the snowshoe back, and then moved it again, pulling out many small nails and the like. "You see, this is an ice pick. When encountering ice, the horse will easily slip. Use this to ensure that it does not slip!"

"So good!" I took it and played with it. "We have four mounts, one of which is a wild boar. I wonder if I can use it?"

"It's okay! Anyone with hooves can use it! And it doesn't matter even if it was originally equipped with a horse shoe or something like that, this one can be put on the outside!"

"Okay, I want 16. I'll settle the score later!"

The boss immediately helped me wrap 16 bags with a smile and put them on the counter. I continued looking at something else. Since the snow is deep outside the city, snowshoes are a must! I found 8 pairs of snowshoes (non-combat equipment NPCs can also equip them) and gave them to the boss. "what is this?"

"Ski board."

"Do you sell all these things?"

The boss smiled and took out another thing. "Not only this, I also have ice skates! Does the guest want a sled? I have one too!"

"Forget it, I don't need it!"

After some shopping, we came out with a lot of things in big and small bags. Distribute their belongings and bring them to everyone, and put on the shoe covers they bought for their mounts. Then they can leave the city. We were still the focus of everyone's attention along the way, and there were not many people dressed as coolly as we were.

After leaving the city gate, just as the boss said, the road was full of snow. There is a strong wind outside the city, and the footprints that the player has just walked will be covered immediately! Fortunately, it was sunny and not snowing! Even though they were equipped with snowshoes, Ye Ying and the others still had a hard time walking on the road. We could only make do with one step deeper and one shallower!

Follow the map, go out of the north gate, and then follow the road into the mountain! As I was walking, I came across a river. It was so wide that it was not very wide, and the surface of the river was frozen! Just as I was about to remind everyone to dismount and cross the river, Big Pot Rice rushed his wild boar onto the ice with the poisoner!

Click! As expected, when they reached the middle of the river, a hole suddenly opened in the ice. Plop, two people and a pig fell down together! We all looked at the hole in the ice with our mouths wide open in surprise. The two people fell in and didn't even flutter before they didn't react! As soon as the two people went down, a big ice cube suddenly floated on the river. The big pot of rice and the poisoner were frozen in the ice while maintaining the position of falling!

"Hahahaha!" We all couldn't help laughing. This big pot of rice is really funny!

I used a lasso to pull them up together with the entire block of ice. It was too cold and the ice was very hard. There was no response after being smashed for a long time, so I had to let Xiaofeng burn it with fire! It was almost finished burning, and the edges of the ice cube were burned away, but then it tilted to the side and rolled down the river bank again! A big hole was immediately opened in the newly frozen river surface, and the big ice block sank into the river together with the poisoner and the big pot of rice. A few of us rushed to the river and wanted to block the ice block, but we were a step too late. The ice block failed to block it and splashed water all over us!

Although the energy gathering technique protects us from cold damage, things outside our body are not protected! The water that splashed on us froze immediately, and each of us was covered in small ice picks!

They were also unlucky because they entered the water too fast, and the ice suddenly rushed very deep into the river. When the ice floated up again, the flowing river water took them several meters downstream. Originally this was nothing, but in this case, a few meters away meant they were leaving the ice with holes. The ice cube wrapped around two people and a pig was already under the ice when it floated up. The ice above prevented the ice cube from rising to the surface. As a result, the ice cube floated downstream along the river!

"I'm dizzy! No way!" I watched the large shadow under the ice floating downstream, and quickly chased it along the river bank! Of course the others followed immediately!

The river downstream seems to be narrower than the upstream, and the flow speed of the river is obviously faster. Not only did we fail to catch up with the ice, but the ice was thrown away! In fact, the speed of ice drifting is not very fast, but the snow on the ground seriously affects the speed of the mounts, so they chase farther and farther!

If this doesn't work, the ice cubes will drift away. I looked at the surface of the river and saw that the thickness of the ice was actually pretty good. The reason why it broke just now was that there were two people riding on Daguofan's mount, and the wild boar was far heavier than our horses! If it's one person, there shouldn't be a problem.

I jumped off Ye Ying's back, "You guys keep chasing, I'll chase you from the river!"

Run to the river and put away my snowshoes, and then it’s time for my dragon suit to show off! There is a twist on the ankle part of the Magic Dragon boots, just turn it slightly and press it down! An ice blade protruded from the sole of the shoe. No one knew that my shoes could not only be attached to the wall, but also be used as ice skates! The ice blades on both sides were stretched out, and the silver-white blades shone brightly. I walked onto the river carefully. It was okay. It seemed that the ice could bear the weight of a person!

I quickly paddled out and chased the ice. Although my skating skills were not very good, it was still much faster than running in the snow! Soon I caught up with Sumei and the others, and they were stunned when they saw me. I smiled and waved to them, then passed them and chased forward!

After a while, the ice block pushed us far away. Finally, we finally found the black shadow under the ice in our sight again, and finally caught up with the ice block! The distance gradually got closer, and when they were about to catch up, many black spots suddenly appeared in front of them. The distance is still quite far, and I don’t know what to do yet! As we got closer, we finally saw clearly that they were a group of players. There were players on both sides of the river bank, and there were some on the ice. They seemed to be crossing the river!

The other party had obviously noticed me. It was not an ordinary person who could approach me at such a high speed on the ice, so these players were watching me carefully. In fact, those people also knew that I was wearing skates, but this made them even more convinced that I was deliberately attacking them. Because although ice skates are available for sale, they are much more expensive than snowshoes! Moreover, under normal circumstances, ice skates are not as important as snowshoes. The only places with ice are rivers and lakes, and most monsters do not move on the ice. When leveling, you only need to cross a few small rivers, so there is no need to spend a lot of money on ice skates. The last and most important reason is that many people don’t know how to skate, so they buy skates and still fall! There are only two types of people who wear skates for the above reasons. One is a person who is interested in skating, and the other is a person who conducts raids. Now everyone thinks of me as the latter!

"Get out of the way!" I shouted as I saw the team approaching the river crossing. But the result was just that those people stopped and pulled out their weapons! We were about to hit each other, and I had no choice but to fight with weapons!

He touched the hilt of the sword and pulled it outward, only to see that the scabbard came with it. How did this happen? I quickly held the scabbard with my left hand and tried hard with my right hand, but still couldn't pull it out! ***, frozen! During this delay, the sword was not drawn out, and because I looked down at the sword and did not pay attention to the front, I bumped into the person blocking the way!

However, I am fast, equipped and have a high level. The interceptor did not hit me. With a bang, the two interceptors were knocked away by me, one to the left and one to the right. But this collision actually knocked the scabbard open, and the sword was unsheathed with a clatter. As soon as the Holy Dragon's Fang was unsheathed, the blue magic flame immediately shot up over a foot long. I jumped up, and with the help of my falling strength, the tip of my sword penetrated the ice and plunged into the river.

Kneeling on one knee and holding the Holy Dragon's Fang, the temperature of the magic flame and the sharpness of the Holy Dragon's Fang allowed me to easily insert the entire blade into the ice. As soon as the movement ended, I felt a shock in my hand. The ice block under the water surface hit the sword body and stopped it from moving forward. I just showed a smile of victory when I suddenly heard a click and a small crack appeared under my feet. After waiting for a few seconds, the crack seemed to have no intention of expanding further! Let out a sigh of relief, it finally didn’t crack!

"Who are you?" The voice behind him was accompanied by footsteps. Several people walked towards me and surrounded me.

There was a slight click, and another crack appeared on the ice under my feet! "Don't come over here, the ice is going to break!"

One of the leaders said: "Don't lie, the ice here will not fall even if you are riding a horse!" As he said this, he continued to approach with the others.

As they got closer, more and more cracks appeared in the ice beneath my feet. I grabbed the sword but didn't dare to leave. As soon as I left, the big pot of rice and poisoners below would be washed away again! When a few people came to me, the ice surface was finally overwhelmed and several relatively large cracks appeared. Only then did those few people believe what I said. But it's too late now!

I watched the cracks on the ice spread like spiders. With a loud crack, everyone stopped. Everyone knows that the more you move at this time, the faster it will break! But the ice is no longer able to withstand it, and the ice is still cracking even if we don’t move!

The guy in the lead looked at me and made a helpless gesture towards me as if to apologize. I looked at the ice and a giant crack finally appeared! Click! With me as the center, the ice surface exploded within a radius of more than ten meters. The ice cubes sheathed like a replica, and everyone was thrown into the river!

Thanks to my quick reaction, I put the helmet on and lowered the visor before the ice burst and I was about to enter the water! As soon as we took it, we heard a splash and we fell into the river together! This time I grabbed the two of them, but I was also with them! The ice quickly froze us all together, so we formed a bigger ice block and floated downstream!

Sumei and the others rushed here and saw the scene of me falling, and then they had to continue chasing. But this time the team expanded, and even the players on the river bank joined the chase. These people are basically from the same guild. The one who went down with me just now was obviously a boss or something. This time everyone is chasing someone together!

Although I was frozen in the ice, my thinking was still normal. I couldn't move or feel anything! I used private messaging to contact Daguofan. "Are you OK?"

"It's okay, I just can't move!"

"I'm just like you!"

"I see it! The ice is transparent, I can see you!"

I called the poisoner again: "Is there a way out?"

The reader said helplessly: "I would have gone out a long time ago if I could. This piece of ice is floating and spinning, making me dizzy!"

"Wait a minute, let me try to see if the transformation can break the ice!"

Quickly starting the werewolf transformation, my size increased a lot. The original space could no longer accommodate me. With a bang, the ice exploded. Because this is under the ice, the temperature is not as low as the water surface, so I didn't freeze immediately. Because of my escape, the ice cubes that were originally connected split into two pieces. The big pot rice and poisoners were in one piece, and those who fell with me were in one piece!

I quickly grabbed the big pot rice and the others with my right hand, and stretched out the blade claw of my left hand, hoping to hook on the uneven part under the ice to fix myself. I couldn't control those people for the time being, so it was important to get the big pot rice and the others out first! The blade claw slid down the ice for a long time and finally caught a relatively large protrusion and stopped. He adjusted his body posture and used the steel spikes at the top of his boots to kick hard towards the ice. The steel nail sank into the ice, and now my body was basically fixed! Handing the ice cube to his left hand, he aimed his right hand at the ice and smashed it hard. After four consecutive attacks, a crack was finally created, and after a few more hits, the soldier was finally smashed away.

After the ice broke, the water surface suddenly rushed upward due to the pressure, and the whole big pot of rice and the others were thrown up. It is estimated that with such a strong force, they should be able to throw it to the shore! I didn't go up myself. I turned around and returned to the water, quickly swimming downstream.

Soon I caught up with the ice blocks that sealed the players again. I used the Avengers from a distance to fire the iron claws at the front of the dragon tendon rope to hook the ice blocks, and then used the old method to kill these players. Sent ashore! As soon as I came out of the water, the water on my body immediately turned into a layer of ice shell. Fortunately, it was not very thick and it broke into pieces as soon as I struggled!

Really, the temperature here is scarier than a monster! This is how it feels when dripping water turns into ice! Not long after we came up, two groups of people came to kill them one after another. Daguofan and the others were not far ahead. I quickly flew over and said I wouldn't touch the ice anymore! The players over there immediately rushed over to right their boss, and then the fire mage began to help break the ice!

Of course they are not as fast as us. Xiaofeng's fire pillar is not comparable to the fire mage's flame spell. Besides, there are more people on their side and the ice cubes are larger, so it is not easy to melt them! Xiaofeng had almost melted the ice layer. When the big pot rice and the others put force in it, the ice layer immediately exploded. The first thing I said when the big pot rice came out was: "I will never eat frozen pork next time!"

The poisoner started to move his body as soon as he came out. It was really tiring to keep in the same position just now!

As soon as we finished solving the problem, we saw a person coming from the other side. I recognize him, he is the leader, he was the one who fell with me just now! The mage of their guild got him out first. The leader just took advantage and prioritized rescue over others!

"Hello! Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gu Yexin, the commander of the assault battalion of the Northern Alliance! I'm really sorry just now, we misunderstood you! And you can save us after this, thank you very much!"

"Hello! I am Zi Ri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance! That's nothing!"

"If my friend doesn't mind, can he come to our guild as a guest?"

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I have a mission and a time limit, so it's not good to waste time. Let's talk about it later!" There are so many things to do, how can I have time to run around! Not to mention casual encounters, even if they are acquaintances, I don’t have time right now!

"Well, you are always welcome in the Northern Alliance! Come and sit down when you have time! Say goodbye!" Gu Yexin is not a fool. If someone doesn't want to, of course he can't force him to stay!

It's been an hour since we were delayed by the big pot of rice, and we still have to run back, which is really troublesome! Hurry up and pack your things and head back. I hope you can complete the task today!

We quickly returned to the place where we first crossed the river. This time we learned the lesson and we all dismounted and crossed one by one. In fact, we know that we are too careful. Even if we ride a horse across the river alone, we will not be broken! After finally crossing the river, we spread out the map and studied it, and then we continued to advance towards the mountains! Although the snow is getting thicker and thicker, with snowshoes, it basically does not affect our movements. There are not many monsters here, and the journey is relatively smooth, but the speed of progress is very problematic. Even if there are horses on the snow, they can't run. Our speed is only faster than walking!

Along the way, Daguofan was chatting with everyone about the snowy mountains he had been to in real life. I didn’t want to disturb him at first, but we soon entered the mountainous area. The road is built in the gap between two mountains. There are very steep slopes on both sides of the road. This is the most dangerous place when an avalanche occurs! "Hey! Snow Mountain Madman! Please speak in a lower voice. If you don't want to be buried alive by an avalanche, don't make any big noise. I can fly anyway, so you have to be careful! If you are buried, I won't dig it!"

Big Pot Rice said with a smile: "If I am buried, I will drag your personal secretary with me. Let's see if you can dig it out!"

I grabbed a handful of snow from the tree fork next to me, squeezed it into a ball, and threw it at it: "Go to hell!" I threw it casually, but the snow ball hit the big pot of rice accurately, and even threw it at him. It was smashed off the pig's back, making everyone laugh.

Laughing and laughing, our laughter was gradually drowned by another sound! No matter what you were afraid of, avalanches occurred on the peaks on both sides at the same time, and huge waves of snow roared down the mountain! The loud rumbling noise made us unable to hear anything we yelled, so we had to shout in the team channel: "Don't be in a daze, run!"

Everyone reacted immediately, turned around and ran away! But the speed of the avalanche was not comparable to our snail speed. We were buried alive by the raging avalanche after barely taking a few steps! Even if I had wings, I couldn't fly. The turbulent flow caused by the avalanche makes it impossible to fly, unless you have giant wings like a dragon that are as big as half a football field!

The avalanche came and went just as quickly. Within a minute, the mountain road returned to calm, but the road surface was much higher than before.
