Vol 41 Chapter 5: : Leng Li

The monkey leaped among the ancient buildings, leaving behind a trail that only Su Xiao, Bubwang and Baha could see.
Although Yunhou is naughty, as a noble among monkeys, it is fundamentally different from that of macaques. After eating Yuzhimi, he begins to lead the way dutifully.
However, because this little guy is a bit mischievous, looking for the path of the Broken Soul Shadow Stone and Fragment, most likely it is not a straight line, but at most it will take an S-shape, and there will be no pitfalls like taking a Z-shaped route.
In the ancient capital, Su Xiao looked for the golden footprints left by the monkeys. On the spacecraft, he saw a simple map of this continent. If he traveled northward, he left the "Yada Ancient Capital" and arrived at the adjacent " Cold cemetery".
If the "Yada ancient capital" is the habitat of the Teng tribe, then the "cold cemetery" is the territory of the ghost tribe.
The information is too limited, and Su Xiao's understanding of the ghost clan can only be based on part of the information given in the world profile. For example, the ghost clan inherited the darkness of the Yada people.
In this world, the vines as a neutral force should not be very prominent. Although the ancient capital is located in the middle, there are no resources here. This is the notary area after the tree-born world has been opened.
The warriors who have entered the tree-born world all the time have turned the "Yada Ancient Capital" upside down. The "Cold Graveyard" is different. It is outside the notarized area, which may be thousands of years or even longer without any foreigners. The land where visitors set foot is more dangerous, but it also represents more opportunities.
When Su Xiao thought about it this way, Boubowang's cry came, and when she heard it, Boubowang's expression was slightly depressed.
After the previous material competition started, Boubowang did not participate, but went after the plane. From its look, things were not going well.
"Didn't agree there?"
"Wang."
Boubwang raised his head.
"How did you refuse? Tell me the truth."
"Wow, woof..."
"?"
On the side, Ona looked at Su Xiao and Boubowang who were communicating, and she was very surprised. She didn't understand Bobowang's call, and she didn't know how Su Xiao understood.
"is it."
"Wow, wow!"
"Well, I'll be there soon."
As Su Xiao spoke, he nodded.
"Wang."
"Ah this~"
Ona, who has been listening attentively, feels lonely when she listens. This ‘conspiracy in person’ made her and Wood have no temper at all.
"Two, let's trace the footprints of the monkey first, and my boss will come later."
Baha spoke, and Su Xiao disappeared into the sight of Ona and Wood.
...
Two hours later, above a valley on the south side of the ancient capital, an old-fashioned plane stopped on the rocky runway above.
In the valley, the waterfall fell, and the pool below was filled with white gas, and the whole valley was green with water and green mountains, a scene of birds and flowers.
Su Xiao stopped on the rock platform above the valley, seeming to perceive that he is here. A humanoid in the valley resembling an alien has an opening. Its oval head is out of proportion to its body, and its eyes are unexpected. Large, thin arms and thin legs.
"Here again, how many times do I have to repeat it with you? I am a neutral member of the Void Tree Notary, and I will not take sides."
The big head said, if it was before encountering Caesar, Su Xiao might still reluctantly believe this. Caesar’s servant is often a quartermaster of the Void Tree + Reincarnation Paradise double notarization, but he has a single hand. His unique skills are unforgettable for a lifetime.
"I want to talk to you about something."
As soon as Su Xiao's voice fell, a warning appeared.
[Warning (Number of Void): Stop negotiating with special neutral units in this world immediately. If you ignore this warning, your credibility will be greatly reduced...]
After viewing the warning, Su Xiao felt much relieved. If it were a direct punishment mechanism, he turned around and left. The majesty of the Void Tree still cannot be touched. As for the warning, ignore it.
"I received a warning, so..."
The big head man stopped halfway through his words. It checked Su Xiao's credibility with its own authority, and that credibility was so low that it was red, which represented many things.
"This friend, it's not necessary, really unnecessary, you are a killing competition, I am a neutral unit that runs errands, and I can't do anything for you."
The attitude of the big head has changed a lot. Just Su Xiao, a low credibility person, said that he would draw a knife and cut him. The big head estimated that the other party could do this. He is a neutral unit located in the notary district. In a sense In other words, he is an alternative fighter, but many people can't figure out this problem.
Su Xiao didn't figure out this matter at first, until after he participated in the fight for hegemony of the strong and reached a deal with the mobster in a subtle way, he understood this concept.
If the big head is a neutral unit that leaves after putting in the material box, it is best not to have contact with the other party, but if the other party has finished putting the material box, then stay in the secret place in the notary area and wait for the subsequent material box to be put in , Then you can operate from it.
The big head, no, the neutral person who claims to be Paul looks helpless. Obviously, he has seen a certain movie and feels like the protagonist in the movie.
Su Xiao took out a price tag, took out a vial, rolled the vial inside the tag, and threw it to Paul.
"I am a neutral unit, it is impossible to collect..."
Halfway through what Paul said, he raised his hand and grabbed the price tag rolled into a paper tube, his expression slightly strange.
"Bring him, or throw away the price tag."
Leaving this sentence, Su Xiao left back, his credibility was madly lost, he estimated that if he continued to negotiate, the punishment mechanism would be triggered directly.
Su Xiao can be sure that Paul has a probability of more than 70%, is a neutral unit that can negotiate and cooperate, and is the kind after the Void Tree is certified. At the moment he has not found the correct way to open it, of course it is a warning to Cyclonus.
If you use the game analogy, it is equivalent to a player who has just entered a new scene, using the advantage of the fully open map to find an NPC that can only negotiate in the later stage. This violates the "scene rules" but does not violate the "game rules."
Seeing Su Xiao walking away, Paul poured out a very thin vial from the price tag rolled into a paper tube. It estimated that the power of time and space in it was at least 10 ounces.
"It's pretty good, no wonder, after all, it's a hunter in a lunatic paradise."
Paul kicked a rock into the pool, and a few seconds later, a simple pilot with a hippopotamus head surfaced.
"Go, go to work."
"Not yet...the second stage."
The hippopotamus pilot's head sank, only his eyes were exposed, and the water was bubbling. It preferred to soak in water.
"This is private work, let's go."
Paul took out his watch and looked at the time, and if he went back quickly, there would be no mistake.
...
On the north side of the ancient capital of Yada, at the extreme edge.
According to Yunhou's footprint, Su Xiao caught up with Wood and the others in a short time, or it was Wood who suggested to wait here.
According to Wood, Su Xiao is a very important'teammate'. After entering the "cold cemetery", in case of distress and irresistible circumstances, that is, multiple people sharing the firepower, commonly known as three people being chased by dogs, Far lower than the risk of two people being chased by a dog.
"Awaited."
Su Xiao breathed out white breath, and the further north he went, the temperature became lower. The original lush ground is now without grass. In the black soil, there is a faint smell of corruption, and the cold mist makes the front look foggy. The viewing distance does not exceed 50 meters.
"All friends, don't be so polite, if you don't come, how can we go to the cold cemetery?"
Wood smiled.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't answer the call, but just moved on.
Suddenly~
"Huh? What sound?"
Ona's slender eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and she looked around.
Suddenly~
"Boob, what's wrong with you?"
Ona found the source of the sound. It was the trembling sound of Boubowan's hind legs. Because the trembling was too fast, it made a sound like a small electric motor.
"It's okay, it's just a bit cold."
Baha smirked. Bubowang, who was hiding behind Su Xiao’s legs, wanted to bite Baha angrily, but he couldn’t do it. Now that he is more than 3 meters away from Su Xiao, he will lose his sense of security. The surrounding scenes, If a ghost doesn't float, Boobowang will pee upside down and drink by himself!
After a brief discussion, the squad formed a formation. Su Xiao was at the forefront as a melee system, followed by Boubowan and Baha. Ona paid attention to the left and rear, and Wood paid attention to the right and rear.
The cold fog drifted away, except for the abnormally dark ground, not to mention the trees around, not even the root grass, and it became colder.
This kind of cold is not simply a low temperature, but a cold that penetrates into the bones and soul.
Su Xiao experienced a similar feeling once, that time in the castle of the world of paintings. He had a room on the second floor at the time. Naturally, he was not affected by the cold. It is said that the Moon Apostle was a little bit out of the cold.
This mist is aimed at the soul, which can make the soul feel cold.
"Ah sneeze~"
Ona sneezed, she exhaled a cold breath, her face was slightly pale, and Wood nearby was not much better, and the green pupil flames in the eyeholes were a little bit cold and dim.
This cold is aimed at the soul. Su Xiao started to feel cold. The experience of other people can be imagined, but Su Xiao can persist, and resisting for a few hours is not a problem for him.
[Warning: You are suffering from the "soul freezing" effect. 】
【During the period of "soul freezing", your own vitality recovery will be greatly suppressed, but your aura abilities, potions, etc. will not be affected by this freezing. 】
【During the period of "soul freezing", you will suffer 2 points of soul damage every second (soul strength has been saved by 86.6%). 】
【During the period of "soul freezing", your basic nerve reflex speed will be reduced by 1 point per minute (after the soul freezing effect is removed, this debuff will be restored. If you bear the soul freezing effect for a long time, it will lead to basics· The nerve reflex speed is permanently reduced, the higher the soul strength, the higher the resistance). 】
【During the period of "soul freezing", your intelligence will gradually decrease. If the decrease is too large, your maximum mana will be permanently dropped and your perception will be permanently damaged. 】
[The current cold value: 0.12% (slowly increasing). 】
[If the freezing value exceeds 50%, the debuff effect of "soul freezing" will be greatly increased. 】
[If the freezing value exceeds 85%, your mobility will be severely lost, and the debuff effect of "soul freezing" on you will increase again. 】
[If the freezing value reaches 100%, your soul will be frozen to pieces, this is the soul beheaded, and you will die. 】
...
Su Xiao had guessed that the abnormal state of this world would be troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so cruel.
His current soul strength is 590 points and still so, the situation of Boubowan, Baha, Wood, and Ona can be imagined.
"Soul Frost" inhibits the recovery of its own vitality, that is, physical attributes, passive abilities, equipment, etc., the self-healing, self-recovery of health, etc. derived from it are all suppressed. The good news is that the aura ability and the recovery potion The effect is not affected.
After Su Xiao exempted 86% of his soul strength, he would suffer 2 points of soul damage per second. That is to say, the initial damage of soul freezing is about 15 points per second, and one minute is 900 points of soul damage. 54,000 soul damage in an hour, who can stand it?
Bubwan and Baha have grown to the eighth level. After dozens of potential awakenings in the attribute enhancement warehouse, their soul strength is also over 120 points, which can save 16% to 17% of the soul caused by "soul freezing". Damage, taking 12 to 13 soul damage every second.
The good news is that Boubowang's "Aura of the Snow Goddess" is in effect, and it is life-saving.
Even so, Boubowan and Baha can’t hold on for long. Not to mention that soul damage is just an appetizer in the effect of "soul freezing". The temporary slowdown in reaction speed is dangerous, especially in the face of emergencies. The temporary reduction of intelligence attributes will result in slowness of perception.
Slow reaction + slow perception + sudden situation, the evil result will be life.
Even more powerful is that this abnormal state will increase with the freeze value of the recipient, and the effect will continue to increase. When the freeze value exceeds 50%, the soul damage suffered will increase several times, reaching how many times per minute. Thousands of soul damage, by then, one hour of soul damage will at least break 200,000.
"What's the way this broken monkey leads."
Shaking into the chaff, Baha spoke, and it felt that its brain was freezing.
"Wang."
Boubowang yelled, his expression gradually joyous. It used to be that when the weather was cold, his smart IQ occupied the high ground. This time his thinking was almost frozen and his smart IQ was no longer useful.
At the moment, I have gone deep into the "cold cemetery" for some distance, and now there is still time to go back, and then go on for 1 to 2 hours, causing the freezing value to approach 50%, and then it will be too late to turn back.
Su Xiao looked at Wood and Ona. Wood didn't say anything. Ona nodded, meaning to keep going. She had explored many dangerous places on Meteor Star and was not afraid of the current situation.
Except for the cold fog and the black earth, there was nothing in the surroundings, not even the roots of withered grass. After traveling like this for more than half an hour, Su Xiao stopped.
Marching in the "Cold Graveyard", so far, everything else is fine, but it costs too much to restore potions. The 50 bottles of [Vitality Liquid] he wears have already consumed 5 bottles at this time, and the progress of this world has just begun.
The cost of injuries in the "Cold Graveyard" is very high, and the injuries can only be relied on Boubowang's aura and healing potions. Other aspects are greatly suppressed by the freezing effect.
Su Xiao can completely imagine that the abnormal state such as the real poison and the curse of darkness that the Void Tree has suggested before will cost more potions.
It was not that Su Xiao was mad and chose to bring 50 bottles of [Vitality Liquid] into the world. Originally, he planned to bring 100 bottles. Due to the insufficient material exchange quota, otherwise, he could get 200 bottles.
From the level of the tree-born world, you can tell that the environment of this world must be very complicated. It's not wrong to bring more healing potions.
The Vitality Liquid is a potion prepared by Su Xiao himself. Without counting the black maple, the material cost is only 5 soul coins per bottle.
[Vitality liquid: 1500 mana points are needed for each production, and materials needed: vitality extract essence, life spring water, crystal bottle, black maple leaf juice (5.2479g, requires extremely precise 6-process processing, activation, active extraction , Spiritual catalytic filtration, etc.). 】
If it were not for the material quota restrictions and mana restoration, Su Xiao really brought 200 bottles of [Vitality Liquid] into the world of the tree this time.
At this moment, Wood and Oona can occasionally see Bubowang and Baja drinking the [Vitality Liquid] as juice. Of course, the two of them perceive the rich vitality that floats out after the [Vitality Liquid] is opened. This must be a kind of Recovery potions are still very precious.
In Ona's perception, even if there is a mine at home, she can't drink like this. She sighed, took out the bottle of potion, and took a sip, and then returned most of the remaining bottle to her arms.
As a group of people were walking, Su Xiao suddenly stopped and asked: "Two, is your cold state serious?"
Listening to Su Xiao's question, Wood was secretly wary, and Oona was already ready to fight.
The cooperation of the three is equivalent to the cooperation of the blood beast, the skeleton, and the tentacle. If the three are still strong and have value for each other, then it is peace, but once one of them is weak, it is very likely that the other two evil spirits Torn and swallowed raw.
Of course, in the face of a strong external enemy, this situation will not occur. In the face of a strong external enemy, the three will even rescue each other. Before defeating the strong enemy, everyone is a good teammate.
"My condition is not bad."
Wood spoke.
"The cold hurts the skin."
Ona's fingertips stroked her cheek, showing her calmness.
"Really, I understand."
While Su Xiao was talking, he took out two injection guns from the storage space. They contained the diluted Soul Antifreeze Agent, which he had obtained in the purple material box.
Originally, there was only one [Soul Antifreeze Antioxidant], but it was diluted by Su Xiao with "Bai Shi solution" into 8 bottles. Although the effect of a single bottle is not as strong as the original version, it can be injected more times.
To borrow a quote from the alchemist Coyne, "Baishi solution" is one of the greatest inventions in pharmacy. Its powerful compatibility and reproducibility make it a perfect diluent.
Su Xiao dilutes the medicament with "Bai-style solution" instead of mixing the dosing agent with water. Originally, a medicine with an overall efficacy of 10, after being diluted into several parts by "Bai-style solution", the overall efficacy is at least 15-17 In the meantime, this is the re-engraving characteristic of the "Bai Shi solution", which is a solution formulated with soul energy + trace time and space power.
Su Xiao injected Bubowang and Baha each with a [Soul Freeze Antioxidant], and the freezing value of both of them quickly decreased, and after a while, it dropped below 5%, the effect was outstanding.
Both Wood and Ona perceive the changes in Boubowan's and Baha's breath. Wood coughed slightly and said, "There is this good thing? Give me one too."
"The quantity of this potion is limited. Just asked about your cold winter state, and you all said it was not serious, so you don't need it for the time being."
Hearing this, both Wood and Oona had nothing to say. It was Su Xiao who took the initiative to ask if their freezing state was serious. One of them said that they were in good condition, while the other was calm.
If Sin Yass is there, it must be a sentence: ‘I just fart, it’s no good, give me a shot quickly, my second brother is almost frozen. ’
It is a pity that Wood and Ona are not guilty of Yasna's thicker skin than the city wall. Wood is shameless at the critical moment, while Ona has always remained reserved.
Puff!
Blood splattered, and dozens of thick fingered white tentacles protruded from Oona's cuff, blocking a sharp claw, which cut the tentacles in half, and rosy blood flowed out.
"Roar!!"
The roar spreads like sound waves, and the mixed soul impact in it makes Ona appear a ghost in front of her eyes. If it were the past, she would not be like this, but she is suffering from the "soul freezing" effect, and her reaction power and perception power are greatly temporary. reduce.
The one who attacked Ona was a monster with tattered clothes and frosty white skin. Its eyes were radiating blue. This blue completely occupies the entire eyes. The frosty white skin on his face is full of fine frozen lines. It His hair is sparse, but it is very elegant, as if he had used Head & Shoulders.
The claws of this monster's right hand are like a razor, and the left hand is holding a rusty weapon. From the shape, it should be a bladed weapon, but it has decayed to the width of two fingers, with a blade on one side. The other side is full of rotten jagged teeth, and the whole weapon is rising with cold.
At the first glance of this monster, Su Xiao felt that the intensity of this thing was a bit wrong, reminding him of the ‘Dungeon Killing God’ of Sacred Land Chiriad.
The ‘dungeon sky group’ formed by six dungeons killed the gods, almost gave the priest a second.
At this time, the frosty white monster gave Su Xiao a similar feeling to the Dungeon Killing God.
The bright white tentacles were chopped and flew everywhere, and the attack of the frost-white monster was chaotic, like a mad dog.
Ona is not easy to provoke, a large number of bright white tentacles gushing from her two cuffs, entwining the frosty monster in them.
After these bright white tentacles climbed onto the enemy, they split like tree roots, and penetrated into the enemy's flesh and mouth and nose in a smaller state, causing unimaginable pain to the enemy, and finally bringing the enemy's original vitality, soul energy, etc. Blot dry, leaving only the residue.
With a snap, Ona's bright white tentacles shattered a humanoid shell.
"This thing... is a bit difficult."
Ona said, compared to her, Su Xiao has detected the enemy's data through detection equipment.
The frost-white monster is called the "corroded" or "Ice Slave". By querying the information of the "Ice Slave", Su Xiao learned a lot of information about this world.
Why was the once tree-born world so dark? Because here was directly connected to the abyss, and it was a world heavily eroded by the power of the abyss, so there were only trees and darkness.
The Yada people did not come from the darkness. They were the ancestors before the dark age. After being severely corroded by the power of the abyss, they showed signs of assimilation with the darkness, and there was a fault in the inheritance, so they thirst for light afterwards. If Yada People always live in darkness, so there is no such thing as pursuing light.
Using the light secret method to disperse the darkness is actually using the light secret method to bombard the channel between this world and the abyss. After this channel is closed, the power of the abyss will naturally no longer flow in.
The power of the abyss has a feature. After it is completely disconnected from the abyss, it will undergo adaptive erosion and gain. For example, it will corrode the flame, and the flame in this area will become stronger. As a price, the flame will be terrible Human characteristics, such as gradually burning the world.
The "cold cemetery" right now means that the cold here has been amplified and eroded by the power of the abyss, and it has formed the "soul freezing" effect.
This ice slave was originally a ghost clan, but it was completely eroded by the "soul freezing" and the ghost clan's soul would be distorted before being frozen.
The ice slave is not strong in terms of survivability, but the power of the abyss remaining in the cold gives it a strong attack ability and speed.
Silver. How about moon wolf? It was still corroded by the power of the abyss, so it can be seen how difficult this power is to control, or in other words, this power cannot be controlled.
The place that has been eroded by the power of the abyss has two major characteristics, 1. It is particularly dangerous, which is equivalent to a dangerous area, and 2. The resources are so rich that people can't believe it.
"This energy remains..."
Wood's expression was dignified. He took out the abyss jar and inhaled part of the remaining energy of the ice slave into the abyss jar. Then, his heart trembled, as sinister as he was, and he could not conceal the joy in his heart. After a great connection, and the jar of the abyss came from the abyss, Wood felt that this might be the time he was most likely to send Wild Father away.
A gleam of light flashed on the golden buttons on the cuffs of Wood's suit. No one but himself could see this.
"Everyone, keep exploring."
Wood's expression remained as usual, and he walked towards the back of the team, returning to his original position.
"and many more."
As soon as Su Xiao spoke, a huge mouth suddenly appeared behind Wood, and suddenly it was in it. This was not an attack, but a slip!
"Baja."
"To understanding!"
Baha's wings spread out, and Su Xiao approached Baha with the ability of the dragon shadow flash, and was dragged by Baha into a different space, while Bubowang merged into the environment and disappeared.
Kakaka~
At the channel in the alien space that Baha had just closed ~EbookFREE.me~, the ice spread in mid-air, almost preventing Su Xiao and Baja from entering the different space, which shows how dangerous the situation is.
The squad that had just been full, and only Ona was left at this time. She held the pendant on her neck with one hand and asked about the situation quickly with mental energy.
"White Ye and Wood slipped? Wife, run! Flee in the direction where Wood was leaning back before disappearing!"
Hearing the shouts inside the twisted cross, Ona turned and fled. As soon as she rushed out a few steps, she felt the ground tremble slightly, and she looked back.
"Roar!!"
In the cold fog, densely packed ice slaves rushed towards Ona. Behind these ice slaves, there were several behemoths with terrifying auras. Seeing this scene, Ona’s blood was about to cool. If these monsters catch up, She will definitely die.
Before joining the squad, Ona believed that the "good teammates" ran faster than anyone else, but now it seems that it is not the case.
