The sky was shrouded in hazy fog, and you could only see a distance of two or three meters in front of you. The dry ground was full of cracks, and you couldn't feel a trace of water vapor. The plants you occasionally saw were dead trees with no trace of moisture.
and hay.
"Roar!" In the mist, several tiger-like creatures with strange green meat balls on their heads, backs, and stomachs, with several small holes on the top of the meat balls spraying poisonous gas, surrounded Jia Zhengjin and
Olivia keeps attacking.
"discipline!"
"Xuanbing Sword Qi!"
Jia Zhengjin did not let Olivia take action, but directly held up the shield as a human shield. As these monsters continued to attack, they activated the passive attack skills attached to the equipment one after another. After a while, they were completely knocked down.
[System] You killed the plague spreader and gained 3,000 experience points!
[System] You killed the plague spreader...
The names of the various strange creatures that were killed along the way were called plague spreaders. However, the experience value differed depending on the strength of the creatures encountered.
At the same time, these plague spreaders did not get any trophies, and this alone made Jia Zhengjin feel depressed.
The Plague Land is indeed a very dangerous place. Walking from the Border Bridge, you will encounter monsters every three steps and block them every two steps. Although for Jia Zhengjin and Olivia, the difficulty of these monsters is relatively low.
It can be easily defended by relying on the equipment attributes, and can be easily counterattacked by using passive attack skills. But for ordinary adventurers, it is quite a terrifying existence!
In the fog, it is impossible to see the situation in the distance, and the path on the ground can only be identified through the short distance visible to the eye.
Even after walking for several hours, the fog did not dissipate and remained in this state.
Fortunately, Jia Zhengjin could check the specific coordinates of the Ice Cave on the virtual map, so he would not go in the wrong direction.
Although the map is pitch black, and only the path taken shows a small area around it, there is no obstacle to finding the Ice Cave. At most, the terrain makes the road to the Ice Cave quite difficult!
We walked in the fog for a whole day and night, and at night we built a matchbox room on the roadside to sleep.
After trekking through mountains and rivers, there was finally only a little distance left to the Ice Cave.
I'm also lucky. The coordinates of the Ice Cave are not too far from the border, only about two hundred kilometers. Well, it's actually not that close. Ordinary people would break their legs within two hundred kilometers.
Judging from the terrain, the two of them had reached a rather steep mountain peak. The ice cave should be at the top of the mountain.
The surrounding environment changed from the sweltering dry ground to an extremely cold world of ice and snow, and white mist continued to spray out even when I took a breath. Fortunately, there were a lot of warm animal skin clothes in the virtual backpack to protect the whole body, so at least the two of them did not have to shiver.
Even this snow peak still has many dangerous creatures. Most of them are poisonous! Of course, it is meaningless in front of Jia Zhengjin. The Titan Shield is enough to defend against all their attacks, and then Punishment and Xuan Bing
The sword energy can instantly kill these things that are not even monsters.
After a long journey for more than half a day, Jia Zhengjin finally found the location marked with the coordinates of the Ice Cave on the map.
On the top of the mountain surrounded by icicles, in a hidden position near the north, stands a huge ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture should look like a human, but in the mist, Jia Zhengjin could only see its feet and a familiar outline of the chassis under its feet.
"Sir Payton, is this...?" Olivia couldn't help but ask when she saw this huge ice sculpture.
Jia Zhengjin didn't answer. He took out the Ice Wheel he had been carrying from his virtual backpack and carefully placed it into the outline on the site.
Sure enough! The empty outline is used to place the Ice Wheel!
When he put the Ice Wheel in, the ground suddenly shook. At the same time, the huge ice sculpture began to slowly move to the right. Where the ice sculpture originally stood, a huge square basement entrance appeared, as well as a passage.
Going deeper, there are steps that are completely frozen.
[System] You have opened the ice cave! The sleeping ice and snow elves have been awakened!
[System] The Ice and Snow Elf warns you that you will have to pay the price for coveting its treasures!
Jia Zhengjin didn't care about this, and immediately turned back to Olivia and said, "Follow me! There are ice cubes on the steps, so walk slower!"
"Yes!" Olivia immediately followed, using the Holy Angel Sword (fake) as a crutch, and followed step by step towards the cave.
"Hoo~" After walking a few steps, a gust of cold wind blew in their faces. The two paused, stood firm, and then continued to move downward.
After walking along for more than ten minutes, the smooth and long steps finally found the end.
Looking back at the almost invisible light spot at the exit, Jia Zhengjin thought to himself that we have reached the center of the mountain, right? Who built such a huge cave? It seems that the steps are artificially made, a very powerful project!
However, there is also fog inside the cave, and it is really annoying to not be able to see further.
In addition, it felt darker and darker as we went down, and even if we took out a torch, we couldn't see what was happening three meters away. Jia Zhengjin thought to himself that it would be great if there was an infrared detector, or something that could dispel the fog!
At the end of the steps, there seems to be a wide stone chamber. On one side of the stone chamber, there is a strange waterfall that continuously slopes downward, forming a clear pool.
But apart from that, there is no other way! The two of them walked around for three whole times without seeing a door or a cave passage. In fact, they couldn't even see an enemy!
"Sir Payton, there is nothing here!" Olivia looked around carefully and whispered to him.
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin frowned and stretched out his hand to grope on the stone wall: "There may be very hidden mechanisms. Look for them everywhere! There must be a secret entrance in this cave!"
"Yes!" Olivia immediately took action and patrolled back and forth with Jia Zhengjin.
However, after searching for a long time, the two of them still found nothing.
"Damn it!" There are no mechanisms on the surrounding stone walls. Is the ice cave just a small space? No! The system clearly prompted just now that the ice and snow elves have woken up! Although I don't know what the ice and snow elves are, it should be something like this.
The existence of BOSS. Since it is a BOSS, there must be a secret room! As a dungeon, there is no way that there is only such a simple small area, and not even a mob can be seen!
Where exactly is it? Where exactly is the agency?
Jia Zhengjin continued to circle around the stone chamber, and suddenly his eyes stopped at the cold waterfall and pool.
Could it be that the mechanism is behind the waterfall? Wow~ If that's the case, the designer has gone too far! In such a cold environment, do you still have to enter the cold water? It's not like you have to dive in under the pool, right? Then
