Chapter 960: visitors to the ice
In the depths of the northern snowfields, it is in severe cold all year round. This is almost the coldest place in the Western Continent. Even if the beginning of September is theoretically the "tail of summer", there is no such thing as "summer" here - just like on Earth, when you go to the South Pole and say "summer" "? Isn't that funny!
summer? If you have one, take off your coat and walk outside for half an hour shirtless. It doesn't matter whether "everyone on earth knows it" or "Antarctic people are not afraid of the cold", they won't die from freezing in half an hour, congratulations, the identity of a core member of a national key scientific research project team is absolutely stable, and it's still the kind that can't be without you. ——After all, you are the subject of research.
The climate of the western continent is different from that of the earth, hot places are hotter, and cold places are colder. Deep in the snowfield, the continent is extremely cold, dripping water into ice all year round. Ordinary people who lack adequate protection, even if they just take a breath of icy air, will be frostbitten and may even die. Even if you are well prepared, living here is definitely not a pleasant thing, but an extremely difficult practice that can be called self-abuse.
But today, things are different.
Under the clear blue sky, a light bluer than the sky was galloping towards the deepest part of the snowfield. In the ray of light, there is a small space, Jianxian Taiyi and Ice Mage Shattered Ice are curled up in it, and their faces are unhappy.
"Taiyi, can't the space in your flying sword be expanded a little bit?" The crushed ice almost shrunk the whole person into a ball, and said with a frown, "I feel like I'm about to be crushed into a ball!"
"No, I didn't think about this when I forged the flying sword." Tai Yi's posture was similar to his, his face was cold, and he looked more like a snow elf than him, "I forged this ice soul sword just for the sake of Single use. Two people must be squeezed into the single cabin, it is a miracle to be able to squeeze in, don’t ask too much.”
"It's not a demanding question... Don't you feel embarrassed that we're a man and a woman huddled together?" Splinter's face turned a little red and complained.
"Shushan Jianxian cut off the relationship between men and women, gender has no meaning to me. Besides, you are essentially a piece of ice, but you are carved into the shape of a man." Tai Yi said coldly, "In fact, you can also become a woman's. That way it won't be embarrassing."
Shaosi Bing was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "How can this be done! I am a pure man! How can I become a woman for the sake of convenience!"
"It's just a temporary change. Sun Wukong has changed into a woman. Are you a purer man than Brother Monkey?"
Having said that, the crushed ice also figured it out. So he closed his eyes and used magic to adjust his body, and he soon turned into a woman with almost the same appearance and figure as Tai Yi.
"I take Monkey King as an example, do you really learn from Monkey King? What are you doing by becoming me?"
"Do you think it's easy to adjust your body? Of course, it's easier to directly refer to the ready-made examples." Smashed Ice replied sullenly, "If you don't mind me turning into some indescribable appearance, then it's better Don't be picky about my choices!"
"I don't mind, let's change."
A few minutes later, Tai Yi retracted his words, and begged the shattered ice to return to its original appearance.
She learned a lesson from this - don't think "human-like" is very good-looking, in fact, "half-like" is the most terrifying!
Even the Shushan Sword Immortal was a little terrified that he couldn't bear it.
The method of Yujian flew very fast, and after a while, the sword light of the Ice Soul Sword finally fell in the deepest part of the snowfield, and the shattered ice that was not afraid of the severe cold walked out easily, while Taiyi used the light that could absorb the cold air. Jianguang protected himself from frostbite.
"This place is not bad." Crushed Ice looked around and said with satisfaction, "The terrain is open and can avoid being attacked - then, I will start work."
"Be careful around you when doing things, I still need your protection."
"Don't worry, the environment here is the best for me! I can play 120% of my combat effectiveness here!"
The crushed ice patted his chest and said confidently, then took out several large storage bags, and took out many materials needed to arrange the magic circle.
The layout of the portal also needs to be based on the magic circle. The general portal is open at any time. Like this kind of stable portal that is always open, the level of the magic circle is surprisingly high. It is often necessary to arrange a huge array with a diameter of several kilometers based on the leylines, so that the portal can always exist stably.
The portal in the basement of the Earth Castle is a special case, but its stable opening depends on the continuous supply of mana by at least eight great magicians. A group of eight people can only keep the portal open for five or six hours. Except for the traversers who can rely on death to refresh the state, there is no force in the Western World today that can maintain the stable existence of the portal by this method.
Fortunately, in the extreme cold of the Western Land, there is an endless amount of cold air in the depths of the ice field. These cold air are also energy, and the energy is stronger than that of ordinary earth veins. Using them as an energy source, a stable portal can also be arranged.
In fact, Taiyi is now collecting cold energy. She dug a hole in the sturdy ice plain in front of her, inserted a transparent and slightly silver-gray sword blank at the bottom of the hole, and then used all her power to draw out the almost endless cold air.
To put it elsewhere, this practice can be called destructive mining. But here... the speed at which she draws the cold air simply can't keep up with the speed at which the surrounding cold air spreads. Even, she had to allocate a large part of her strength to maintain the Ice Soul Sword bodyguard when she was extracting the cold air, so as to prevent herself from being frozen to death.
This practice is like dancing on the tip of a knife, which is extremely dangerous. That's why she needs to instruct Shattered Ice to be a bodyguard when setting up the magic circle, to ensure that she will not freeze to death, or be attacked by the monsters that may not be afraid of the severe cold on the ice field.
Of course she wasn't afraid of death, but the sword blank used to collect the cold air this time was very precious, and it cost a lot of money to make.
Travelers are not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean they really don't care about anything.
If she really didn't care about anything, why did Taiyi spend so much human and material resources to create this flying sword that she would call the "Ice Soul Cold Lightsaber"? And she also made up her mind this time, this flying sword is also just a sword blank, and in the future, the Yuan Magnetic Aurora will be integrated into it. When the connection between the East and the West is opened, she will use this sword to challenge it. The "Ice Soul Divine Light Sword", known as the No. 1 flying sword of the Eastern Earth Ice Element, let's see which sword is colder and stronger.
Like her, every traveler has his own concerns, and this disaster relief is what most of them care about!
