Humans cannot outrun the avalanche. The only way is to run to both sides of the avalanche, but the chance of survival is still slim.
Jolina was just about to call the heavy swordsman to carry her "Wings of Snow", but she saw the heavy swordsman dissipated his sword and ran away risking his life.
Lin Xiao:?(???;)?=З=З
This field card actually has a natural avalanche, which is too difficult!
"Tsk, what a troublesome guy!"
Qiao Linna manifested the wings of snow, surpassed the avalanche that had not yet accumulated momentum, landed next to Lin Xiao, ran side by side, and said loudly:
"Run to both sides of the avalanche!"
But in just a short moment, the avalanche gathered momentum to cause the earth to collapse, and the billowing white mist submerged everything, swallowing up Jolina's urgent call.
Suddenly, surprise appeared in her beautiful red eyes, and she heard a brief sentence clearly.
"Hold me!!"
Lin Xiao turned around and stopped in front of her, black flames surged in his palms, and he thrust the giant sword into the snow with a backhand, facing the mighty avalanche.
Without any hesitation, Jolina reached out and hugged the epee man's cold armor, her high ponytail flying in the cold wind, and her cheek pressed against his back, as if she could touch his hot soul.
Boom!!
The avalanche rolled in, like a roaring white giant, destroying everything and drowning everything.
In the center of the raging avalanche, two tiny figures were close to each other. The big sword in the man's hand was like a mainstay, blooming with a simple and heavy golden light.
Source power was injected crazily into the Meteor Sword, creating a golden barrier to protect the body, which turned blue as the ice and snow washed away.
While covering Lin Xiao, it also covered Qing Kui who was clinging to him.
"Meteor Star Sword, golden combat skill, great skill but not craftsmanship."
"Form an elemental barrier based on the surrounding environment to absorb damage for itself and nearby units. It has a 200% absorption effect on all damage, and an additional 50% increase in the absorption of damage of the same attribute. (It is as straight as bending, and as clumsy as it is.)"
boom!
The avalanche collided, but then retreated to both sides along the barrier. Perhaps the barrier transformed into an ice attribute, which reduced the threat of the avalanche.
Lin Xiao didn't dare to be careless, she clenched the hilt of her sword tightly, surrounded by an avalanche, and looked at the vast expanse of white in front of her.
'Hold on until the snow eases.' Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, 'This dungeon will be cleared immediately!'
Amidst the roaring avalanche, Qiao Linna hugged Lin Xiao tightly, looking at her back with red eyes, feeling an incredible softness.
She recalled the helplessness she felt in the foggy city, and recalled the missing father in her childhood.
This was the first time that she trusted someone else so much and relied on him unreservedly.
'What exactly are you from?'
Surrounded by the avalanche, Jolina pressed her cheek against the armor and hugged her tightly for a few moments in silence.
'Vivian, can I trust him...'
The snow gradually stopped.
Like a flood passing through, leaving behind messy ruins.
Broken trees, tents, and rocks remain on the snowfield, and the snow reaches from feet to knees. The sun emerges from the dark clouds and shines on the Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain, casting beautiful golden light.
"The snow has stopped." The voice under the helmet was deep.
There was no response. The girl in red still had her eyes closed, her high ponytail and long eyelashes covered with a layer of fine snow.
"The snow stopped." Lin Xiao could understand that it would take a long time for the tinnitus after an avalanche to subside.
Jolina remained silent.
"The snow has stopped!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
Jolina calmly let go of her arms, opened her red eyes and looked at the epee man. After a moment, she whispered: "...Thank you."
"You're welcome." Lin Xiao said, "Let's recycle the materials from the 'Norns' explosion and prepare a copy."
"Hmm." Jolina hesitated for a moment and said: "You... release the dungeon first. I'm worried that your source power is not enough to support exploration."
"Indeed." The epee man looked up at the sky. He only had more than 10,000 sources of power left. "I can't hold on for too long, so hurry up."
While searching for materials, Jolina was silent for a long time, only looking back from time to time.
The epee man crossed his arms and said, "I won't cheat on the material, don't worry."
Jolina has bright red eyes, one hand on the waist of her red dress, her golden ponytail flying in the cold wind, and her smile is bright and moving:
"That's best."
"Guhu~!" The snow owl held a booklet in its mouth, flapped its snow-white wings, and flew back happily.
Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna looked at each other unexpectedly, and naturally leaned together, their arms touching, but neither of them noticed it, and looked at the brochure carefully.
"This is the fourth diary?" Lin Xiao was surprised.
Jolina frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "This seems to be my brother Harrow's diary."
"Because of my family, I have been a 'card-dropper' since I was born."
"But luckily, I found my passion, which is climbing snow mountains."
"The pure and innocent snow-capped mountains accepted Hadvey and I without reservation."
"We made a promise to become the best mountaineering adventurers in the world together."
"At his mother's funeral, Hadwi cried very sadly. He said he had found a way to commemorate his mother: climbing the Hidden Dragon Snow Mountain."
"I can't understand it, because my mother always loves my brother more, but I am still very happy to be able to climb the snow-capped mountains——
Until I learned of Hadvey's plan."
"Last night, I invited Hadwi out of the tent and had an honorary duel with him."
"Growing up, I have never been able to defeat my brother, but during the duel, Norns woke up from his sleep and attacked Hardaway and me."
"Hadwig blocked the fatal blow for me. I carried him and desperately escaped from the ice lake. Norns fell into a deep sleep again."
"The two of us were sitting on the top of a mountain at night in the bone-chilling cold. Hadwig told me with a sad smile that he had reached the limit of a card maker and made a giant dragon."
"I told him that after we get down from the mountain, we can surrender to the Card Master Association, and we can climb the snow-capped mountains after we are released from prison. He remained silent."
"Hadway was seriously injured and will not live long. His eyes are still staring into the darkness. Although I am with him, I don't know what he is waiting for."
"Until the next morning, the sun rose. The sunlight shone on the pure and flawless snow-capped mountains, reflecting brilliant golden light. It was extremely beautiful."
"At this time, I saw Hadwi looking at the sunrise and saying in a very soft voice:
‘Snow mountains, snow mountains.’”
Lin Xiao closed the diary, heard the system beep, and slowly condensed a purple card on the title page of the diary.
[The hidden mission ‘Climber’s Pilgrimage’ has been completed]
[Effect: The physical consumption of climbing is reduced by 30%, the movement speed in snowy mountain terrain is increased by 30%, and the cold current resistance in snowy mountains is increased by 30%]
[Explanation: A handy pair of ice axes will remind people that the snow-capped mountains are right there.]
"The hidden mission gave me a purple card to reduce the cost of climbing." Lin Xiao shook the card.
"Just keep it," Jolina said. "This card has a wide range of uses. Sometimes some competitions will also have a special 'climbing' event."
Lin Xiao nodded and accepted the purple card.
Afterwards, he began to share the harvest of the trip with Jolina, which was referred to as ‘dividing the spoils’.
A white material was only worth 5 source dust when decomposed, but it might have cost 160 source dust to extract. Lin Xiao couldn't help but shed some tears.
Frost grass, broken horns... miscellaneous white and green garbage materials, Lin Xiao made a rough estimate, and could get 200 source dust after decomposing them.
Through this dungeon trip, Lin Xiao deeply realized the importance of source power.
Prepare to take these source dust first to increase the upper limit of "Blessed Spring Water" in the "Card Master's Guide".
Save the rest to prepare for the tenth company in the future.
The Snow Monster King ‘Baoshan’ revealed several blue materials, and Lin Xiao picked two:
"Snowman Hair (Blue): Warm and thick hair, with synthetic tendencies of 'spiritual' and 'furry'."
"Ice cubes that do not melt (blue): ice cubes that emit cold air. The synthesis tendency is "ice element"."
"Are you going to synthesize a furry spiritual creature?" Jolina was surprised, "I can't tell you like this type."
The epee man said solemnly: "Macho men all like cute spiritual creatures... I think Vivian is good."
Vivian's eyes widened, she was startled, and she hurriedly flapped her wings and flew back to Jolina's shoulder, as if to say, 'Don't come over here.'
Jolina smiled slightly, holding a few cards in her hand, and said: "Also, these are the cards revealed by the Skeleton Frost Dragon 'Norns', you can choose it yourself."
'Norns' revealed two spell cards, "Ice Breath" and "Frost Nova". Although the initial levels are very high, they are not upgradeable, cannot be cultivated, and have little potential.
Qiao Linna proposed that she accept the two spell cards and return 300 source dust to Lin Xiao as compensation, and Lin Xiao agreed.
‘It seems that there is such a substance as ‘source dust’ in reality.’
Lin Xiao thought to herself and picked a few more cards.
"Frost Soul (Purple): An ice soul gem that contains the threat of a giant dragon. It is extremely beautiful."
"Dragon Bone (Purple)*3: An extremely precious card-making material. Grinding it into powder is a rare pharmaceutical material."
You can keep the Spiritual Creation Card for "Frost Soul", and you can keep the Breakthrough Meteor Sword for "Dragon Bone".
Considering the deck construction, Lin Xiao picked an 'upgradable' second-level spell card "Ice Spear" as the main gain from this trip.
[Ice Spear, Spell Card, Frost Faction]
[Level:20/20]
[Quality: Green and Excellent]
[Bronze Talent: Combat Stance Switching]
[Characteristics of silver: cold glow]
"Combat stance switching": Ice Spear can be switched between long-range and melee modes.
"Cold Light": The critical hit rate of Ice Spear is increased by 15%, and there is a 20% chance of adding "Armor Break" status to the opponent.
Lin Xiao looked at the card in his hand and asked: "What is the effect of this 'combat stance switching' talent?"
"You can try it now." Jolina said.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, injected power into the card, and azure ice elements surged into his palm, condensing into a long ice spear that was entirely ice blue.
After trying to wave the ice gun, Lin Xiao was shocked.
If I had this spear when I was a kid, all the day lilies within a ten-mile radius would suffer!
Qiao Linna looked at Lin Xiao and raised her lips slightly: "To put it simply, "Combat Stance Switch" can switch long-range spells into melee weapons..."
"After all, melee combat is the romance of mages, isn't it?"
