When the projection appeared, the exploration team of the Sixth Division officially set off from the station near the scenic spot.
At the same time, a white van quietly drove out from a corner of the city, carrying about ten people. Instead of taking the main highway, it headed towards the edge of the city along a long-established path.
In the car.
A group of heavily armed people were crowded into a can, each wearing full-body cotton clothes, and their wrapped bodies were stretched out in a circle.
Especially the tall young man driving the car, who already had an outstanding figure, was now wrapped up like a brown bear.
He took off his gloved hands and held the steering wheel. Even though the seat had been adjusted to the end, he still had to hunched over.
"There's no 'tail', right?"
The man in the passenger seat said with a gloomy face.
A thin young man in the back seat had his eyes closed. His right index finger was placed between his eyebrows. A subtle spiritual energy wave was stirring near his eyebrows. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and exhaled: "President, don't worry, no one is following you."
"That's good." The face of the man called the president also softened a little.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a dark-faced man behind him couldn't help but glare at the tall young man driving the car, and complained: "Lota should not have been allowed to buy clothes in the first place. He is so stupid. What will happen? Just buy one."
Even though our clothes were exposed, we were almost tracked down by the Sixth Division. Fortunately, we were alert, otherwise..."
A woman next to him sighed, pulled down her mask, and said, "What's the use of talking about this? When I asked you to go, you all refused."
"I have something important to do. I can't delay the president's instructions, right?" the black-faced man argued.
"Didn't you..."
Seeing the few people behind starting to argue, the "President" frowned and said: "Shut up, everyone! Don't mention the past, concentrate on recharging your energy and prepare to enter the projection!"
"……yes."
Seeing that it became quiet, he shook his head, turned his head and looked at the tall young man driving the car with a cold look. He was also unhappy with this stupid subordinate, but why didn't he have many useful people under his command?
It is really embarrassing to go out to prepare supplies and get slapped by someone, but speaking of it, this matter is indeed quite strange.
According to what Lotta described, he was probably attacked by practitioners of the perception system or "other" categories.
However, the other party only stole two pieces of clothing and left a few banknotes. It seemed that he was not aware of his side's existence.
Or, even if you know it, you still have the attitude of not disturbing the river.
It was just that the Sixth Division's Little Lapel was attracted shortly after taking action. If there is no connection between the two, it would be a bit of a coincidence. If there is a connection... it doesn't make sense logically.
In addition, although Luo Ta is not clever, he is still a first-grade cultivator. To be able to control him so easily, the opponent must be second-grade or above... Are there other casual cultivators lurking in the city? Are they also preparing to enter the projection?
There were two pieces of stolen clothing. One was a normal size for ordinary people, and the other was an oversized one. Does that mean there were two people? And there was someone with a similar figure to Lotta?
I'm not sure. Judging from this person's behavior, he must be a cautious person. Taking two pieces of clothing is most likely to "lay out suspicion."
He stared at the flying snow outside the window, thoughts flashing in his mind, and he kept analyzing and guessing.
It's just that if Cheng Lin knew these thoughts of his, he would definitely laugh. You know, he really didn't think about it that much at the time...
Sighing, the "President" shook his head and put the matter behind him. He took out his mobile phone, clicked on the screen, and opened a downloaded video, which was a short video shown around the world.
He has watched it over and over again, and every time he watched it, he was shocked. In addition, the more he looked closely, the more he felt touched, and the bottleneck of cultivation that was stuck on his head seemed to be loosening.
The video finished playing again. Staring at the mysterious black figure gradually disappearing in the wind and snow, the "President" said in his heart with envy on his face:
"This is what a man should do."
Immediately, he raised his head and looked at the snowy night through the windshield and the wildly thrashing wipers, and his desire to become stronger became stronger.
…
…
At the same time, the "real man" in the words of the "president" was running wildly on the snow.
Cheng Lin and Cao Wei were already wrapped tightly in clothes, including scarves, gloves, hats, glasses... everything was available. Their entire faces were covered by woolen hats. Based on their appearance alone, even acquaintances would recognize them.
Don't get out of them.
"Crunch."
The closer they got to the direction of the projection, the thicker the snow on the ground became. The two of them ran all the way and left a series of deep shoe prints, but fortunately no one noticed it in the dark night.
The entrance to Liusi's exploration was near the scenic spot. In order to avoid them, Cheng Lin chose a landing site on a hill on the outskirts of the city.
The floating land is very high, several hundred meters high. Although there are inverted ice picks, it is impossible for ordinary practitioners to jump onto it. They must either use special tools or find a higher ground.
The mountain is undoubtedly a good choice.
"How far is it?" Cao Wei said angrily in the wind and snow. She was still wearing a mask under her hood, and her tone seemed a little different when she spoke.
"It's almost time. Are you tired? I'll carry you when you're tired." Cheng Lin said while running wildly.
Cao Wei smiled softly, with a hint of arrogance in her tone: "Don't forget, I'm a physical student. Are you tired? I'm afraid that you will be tired. If you can't run, I will carry you."
"You?" Cheng Lin looked at her height with doubt in his eyes.
"How about a competition? Let's see who can run faster?"
"Forget it, save some energy, we won't know what will happen when we get up there." Cheng Lin shook his head.
What he said is true.
He really lacked understanding of this projection.
The entire projection is a floating landmass. Except for the top layer which is the "ground", most of the volume underneath is underground frozen soil.
There are many tunnels scattered among them.
During the deduction, Cheng Lin had never been underground, so he did not know the situation in the frozen soil. As for the surface, so much time has passed since the deduction, who knows what it will look like, it is probably still a monotonous snowfield.
In comparison, he had already explored the previous "Wonderless Immortal Island" in the deduction, not to mention the previous "Altar", and he knew every structure clearly.
Cheng Lin only knew a rough idea of the projection this time, and it was almost the same as the information known to others. After all, those people had also watched the video.
"Do you think there really is that kind of... beast up there?" Cao Wei asked while running.
"Yes. Before dark, when I looked at the projection, I could vaguely see some of it."
"Are they really as strong as in the video?"
"Well... there must be strong and weak ones, but the weak one is probably equivalent to the first level, and the strong one is not clear, so you must be careful and don't be careless. Your cultivation may not be safe inside."
Cheng Lin took the opportunity to beat her up.
"Oh." Cao Wei responded.
Cheng Lin then urged: "If you really encounter an irresistible danger, go to the little lapel of the Sixth Division for help. There are more strong people in the Sixth Division, and the security is much greater than ours."
"Ask for help? Is that okay... wouldn't that mean..."
"What's not allowed?" Cheng Lin smiled and said, "Although we are doing the work of casual cultivators, we are not really casual cultivators. Remember, we are all members of the organization. If it doesn't work, our identities will be exposed.
I'm not afraid, what can the Sixth Division do? I can just follow the regulations and inform you that the division behind me will come and pick people up. After I go back, I will be punished internally by the division. You and I are the first in our respective colleges. Even the punishment is a symbol.
In a sense...of course, it’s better not to expose it if you can, it’s better to have less trouble than more trouble.”
"What you're saying is like calling a parent when a student makes a mistake..."
Cheng Lin was startled after hearing this, thinking that this was really the case. He couldn't help but smile, then thought about it and said: "So, the Sixth Division is not our enemy, but a hidden backup. What we really need to pay attention to are those...
Beasts, and...other casual cultivators."
As he said that, he suddenly thought of the guy who knocked on the sap when buying clothes, and...
"Cheng Lin! Look! Those two people in front...are the couple next door!" Cao Wei suddenly shouted in a low voice.
What?
Cheng Lin was slightly startled and looked up in the direction of Cao Wei's finger.
The darkness ahead was thick, with flying snow, and the vision was dim and unclear. However, both of them had good eyesight. After careful inspection, they found two figures trudging in the snow in front of them. They could only see their backs and could not determine their appearance.
"Are you sure it's them?"
"Yes! They are talking, I can hear them." Cao Wei pointed to her ears. She had turned on her hearing ability.
"What are they talking about?" Cheng Lin frowned.
Cao Wei repeated, "They said it was coming soon."
Almost there?
Cheng Lin suddenly had an unpleasant thought, and then watched the couple arrive at the top of the mountain he had planned first.
"Someone got there first."
Cheng Lin was speechless, thinking that this was too coincidental, right?
But when I thought about it, it was not entirely a coincidence. The other party had withdrawn from the scenic area and should be in the same urban area as the hotel where I currently live. It is common sense to choose to go to the suburbs after the projection is solidified, and the nearest mountain peak in this urban area is only this
one.
If you think about it this way, it makes sense.
Just like this, it made Cheng Lin a little difficult to deal with.
Seeing the two of them climbing up an unknown hill in the suburbs and heading towards the height closest to Floating Land, Cao Wei looked at him and asked, "What should we do?"
Cheng Lin thought for a moment, stopped, looked around, and finally said: "Wait a moment, let them go up first, and we will go up later."
"OK."
The two of them discussed it, took advantage of the night to get close to each other, hid in a nearby forest, and stared at the two people quietly.
I saw that after the couple arrived, they first looked around to make sure there was no danger. Then, the young man named Gu took out a bundle of ropes from his backpack and tied one end to the young woman's waist to make sure it was firm.
The young man nodded to him, and then, his slender figure suddenly stood still on the spot, just looking up at the floating land, and stretched out his fingers, as if to visually measure the height.
After that, her figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a faint wave of spiritual energy, and her figure appeared out of thin air at the bottom of the floating continent. She actually crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant!
Cheng Lin and Cao Wei, who were hiding in the woods, looked at each other and saw each other's surprise.
"What kind of power is this?"
"I don't know, it may be other categories of abilities."
They have never seen this ability similar to teleportation.
After the young woman appeared, she immediately swooped down, hugged a huge ice pick, then climbed up and got into the nearest "hole". After that, she tied the rope around her waist and waved to the ground.
The young man grabbed the rope and climbed all the way up.
The whole process only took two or three minutes. The two successfully landed and turned around and got into the hole.
After waiting for a while, Cheng Lin estimated that the two of them were far away, and then he ran over with Cao Wei.
Looking at the snow marks on the ground, Cheng Lin was amazed.
"Okay, it's our turn, Xiaocao, it's up to you next."
Cheng Lin smiled softly.
Cao Wei nodded, stretched out her hands with some excitement, raised her palms, raised her head, stared at the huge shadow of frozen soil above her head, and found the target. The next moment, she saw the spiritual energy surging in her body, and a few inches in front of her palms.
Suddenly, an icy blue light appeared in the place, and then, a violent stream of water about the diameter of a football turned into a straight line and sprayed towards the sky!
Water spray!
This is the spell that Cao Wei obtained when she solved the puzzle on Wutong Fairy Island.
To put it simply, it is to create a super strong water flow out of thin air and attack it forward. It is similar to the water spray pipe used by fire trucks to put out fires, but it is stronger. If it suddenly sprays out during a battle, it can also cause serious damage to people.
One blow.
Cao Wei originally had a dual-system awakening, physical strength plus sensory enhancement, and now she has acquired a water spraying technique. Cheng Lin always feels that his "full affinity" advantage in front of Cao Wei has become much smaller...
The water column spurted out, directly penetrating hundreds of meters, and hit a part of the floating land. Immediately, it was clearly visible that the water flow started to freeze rapidly against the frozen soil!
Almost in the blink of an eye, the water flow turned into icicles, and then the icicles spread down, and a new "ice pick" gradually took shape in Cao Wei's hands. Thanks to the temperature here, this operation can be established, but
At a height of about ten meters from the top of the mountain, the speed of ice formation suddenly slowed down.
"Okay, that's enough."
Cheng Lin said.
Cao Wei decisively ended the water spraying technique, and a particularly prominent ice cone appeared above their heads.
Next, Cheng Lin and Cao Wei climbed up a nearby tree. When they felt they were ready, the two suddenly jumped from the tree to the icicle, hugged each other, and climbed all the way up.
This was not difficult, but Cheng Lin also discovered that when they jumped onto the icicles, the surrounding temperature seemed to suddenly drop several times!
He clearly saw Cao Wei tremble all over and exclaimed, "It's so cold!"
It seems that the temperature here has dropped again.
"Could it be that this distance is where the projection really enters?"
Cheng Lin's eyes flickered.
A dozen meters from the floating land to the top of the mountain is the boundary of the projection. Down below, although it is colder, it is almost the same as a slightly colder winter. Not to mention practitioners, even ordinary people can walk normally if they wear thicker clothing.
But if you adjust it to the icicle, or even upward, it will officially enter the projection.
The temperature dropped rapidly and became so bad that ordinary people could not sustain it. Only practitioners could rely on the movement of spiritual energy in their bodies to resist the cold.
Even so, the strength of ordinary first-level practitioners will also be greatly affected, making it difficult to fight. Only those of second-level and above are relatively better.
"Is it cold?" Cheng Lin looked at Cao Wei.
"Yeah, but it's okay, just use spiritual energy to block it." Cao Wei's body relaxed and her tone became more normal, she said.
Then, she asked curiously: "You... don't seem to be cold."
Cheng Lin denied it flatly: "I'm cold!"
"real?"
"Of course! Okay, hurry up and crawl, don't wait until someone comes here again." He coughed lightly and said.
Then the two of them climbed up quickly.
Is Cheng Lin cold?
Of course not.
Adding points to the cold resistance attribute is quite useful. Although it cannot completely resist it, it only requires him to consume a small amount of spiritual energy to move, which is enough to ensure normal actions.
Especially, when he officially entered the projection, the effect of the title "Son of Blizzard" suddenly came out:
Cheng Lin clearly felt that the spiritual energy in his body seemed to be cheering for joy. It was much more active than usual, and its speed of mobilization and operation was also greatly increased. If I wanted to use a metaphor, it was like a rusty machine that suddenly became more powerful.
lubricating oil.
Before the projection, the feeling of running through the forest in the wind and snow was not very great. Maybe it was because the environment at that time was not up to the "severe cold" standard?
It's not clear, but in short, in this extremely cold area, he only felt comfortable, as if he was home.
"arrive."
Just as she was thinking about it, Cao Wei whispered.
He looked up and saw that the two of them had climbed to the bottom of the floating land. Next to them was the hole where the young couple got into.
Cheng Lin jumped in first and then reached out to catch Cao Wei who jumped over.
"Crack!"
When Cao Wei jumped over, she kicked the icicle off with her kick. Then, the huge icicle, which was tens of meters long, fell through the wind. After a moment, there was a low roar.
Cheng Lin and Cao Wei averted their eyes, turned around, and prepared to enter along the cave.
But when they turned around, they were surprised to find that the couple had appeared in the tunnel at some point.
The young man named Gu was holding something in his hand, cautiously and calmly.
As for the young woman beside him, she looked at them with interest and said after a moment:
"Who are you?"
