Chapter 383: Their respective trials (7)
Mohe, a place in the far north of China, would have been abandoned according to the previous urban integration strategy, but in the end a city was built with the smallest population.
The Special Investigation Bureau has invested a large number of commissioners here, and the commissioners are generally very strong. Among the few S-level officers, there are five in this city.
In addition to the fact that this is the border land of China, and we need to be wary of the expansion of human ambitions after the recovery of vitality, and to guard against the invasion of E-country cultivators, there is also the large number and strength of the demon clan in the surrounding area, which also requires special attention.
In addition, the most critical point is that there is an entrance to the Ice Secret Realm in the Mohe area. This secret realm is somewhat special. It is not only located in China, but also has an entrance to the secret realm in E Country. Therefore, the issue of ownership has never been discussed. Shared by both countries.
Today, Hao Ren finally stood in front of the entrance to the Ice Secret Realm.
"Captain Hao, I'm sorry for delaying your practice. The demon clan's attacks are getting stronger each time, and the number of mid-to-low-end combat power is still somewhat insufficient. I can only ask you to accompany me to resist." An A-level commissioner apologized.
"It's okay. Although we can't say that the human and demon races are incompatible, we must not let go of the demon race that hates humans and attempts to harm humans. This is also my responsibility as a commissioner of the Special Investigation Bureau. If you still need help, I can Enter the secret realm to find me." Hao Ren said solemnly.
"Thank you. The entrance to the secret realm has been opened. This group of specialists who entered the cultivation area entered three days ago. You can choose whether to join them or not. Among them are the strongholds of our Chinese cultivators. This is a map." The specialist said with a smile.
Hao Ren took the map, opened it and took a look. He was a little disappointed. The area explored was not particularly large. China's territory was only the size of a medium-sized city. Separated by an ice canyon was the country's territory, which was about the same size. .
There is no way, who makes it too cold, except for water and fire superpowers and cultivators, others can't last even a month in it, even water people can only last half a month, fire The ice type only lasts about a week longer, and only the rare ice type variants can last for more than two months.
This secret realm is the latest secret realm discovered by Chinese cultivators. It has been explored for less than 200 years. During these 200 years, the predecessor of the Special Investigation Bureau and only 21 trustworthy ice power users and cultivators dispatched by the Special Investigation Bureau , this area was explored by these people.
Unfortunately, these 21 people either died in the secret realm, died in battles with other cultivators, or died of old age. Only three of them survived until now, and one of them is the current mayor of Mohe City.
The reason why Hao Ren is willing to cooperate with Mohe City's resistance, elimination and counterattack against the demon invasion is because he wants to obtain more information about the Ice Secret Realm from the mayor.
He returned the map to the commissioner, who had already memorized it, then turned around and walked into the entrance of the secret realm.
After walking through a space passage, Hao Ren saw a vast white scene in front of him. The icebergs in the distance and the snow under his feet were extremely beautiful. But under this beautiful surface, there was bloody death, ruthlessly devoured.
Hao Ren looked up at the sky and could also see the sun. The day and night here were synchronized with the outside world. His body was shaking slightly. This was caused by the cold. Even though he was already an S-level ice mutant, You will still feel a bit of coldness, and this coldness will gradually increase slowly.
"Luckily, it's a quiet period. Let's go to the stronghold first to get some information to see if there are any changes in the monster's operating area." Hao Ren said to himself, and then walked in one direction following the memory of the map in his mind.
The ice secret realm is different from the lava secret realm. Most of the heat in the lava secret realm is sealed in the lava, but the cold in the ice secret realm fills the entire space.
From time to time, there will be a strong wind period, which usually lasts for five to seven days. This period is the coldest time in the entire secret realm. If you are exposed to the strong wind, your ability to resist will drop rapidly. People who could have persisted for more than ten days will also be in trouble. I couldn't bear it and had to leave or freeze to death somewhere within three days.
In the ice secret realm, in addition to the native ice elves, there are also ice beasts. Ice beasts are different from elves because they are a variant of the monster clan. They are monsters that have lived in the secret realm for a long time and adapted to the rules of the secret realm through elimination. their offspring.
Because the Ice Secret Realm was discovered late by humans, there were many monsters and ordinary beasts in the place where the secret realm was located. Before it was discovered by humans, there were already little demons and beasts living in it. After countless years, Adaptation, their descendants gradually adapted to the rules of this secret realm, and it became easier to practice in the secret realm.
Later, humans discovered the secret realm and did not know the existence of ice beasts at first. Because they had experience in developing other secret realms, they exiled many monsters and beasts with strong cold resistance in it. This unintentionally helped the ice beasts. The beast is busy.
It is more difficult for pure-bred ice beasts to conceive offspring, so the influx of monsters and beasts provides them with an excellent opportunity to reproduce the group. The offspring of ice beasts and ordinary monsters also have the ability to adapt to the secret realm, and their The fertility rate is much higher than that of ice beasts.
For more than a hundred years, no one can say for sure how many ice beasts there are. It is probably an astronomical number. This is the reason why this secret realm cannot be abandoned.
Ice beasts practice very quickly in the secret realm. Although their strength will be reduced when leaving the secret realm, and their life breath will continue to weaken, it is still at what level it should be. If the endurance of the secret realm is overloaded, it is likely that countless ice beasts will rush forward. When they leave the secret realm and wreak havoc, the damage they cause is comparable to the beast tide after the Demon Clan's cave is opened.
It can be said that the predecessors dug the holes and the descendants filled the soil. The mess has lasted for three generations. Every once in a while, people will be sent into the secret realm of ice to massacre and eliminate the ice beasts.
Fortunately, ice beasts and ice elves are not the same. Hybrid ice beasts are also on the ice elves' killing list. Only pure-blooded ice beasts with a certain chance of blood mutation and reversion to their ancestors can be ignored by the ice elves.
Although the secret realm of ice is full of dangers, it still has many benefits, such as certain rare mineral elixirs, weapon refining or cultivation in specific environments, and it can also help cultivators condense the energy and energy in their bodies to kill ice. The beast core obtained by the beast also has great uses. There is a chance that a pure ice beast will produce an energy crystal in its body. If the energy of the crystal still exists, the person can sustain it in the secret realm for a longer period of time.
In the secret realm of ice, spiritual consciousness can be released for perception, but this spiritual consciousness will be frozen by the cold over time, so what you can rely on most is your own eyesight and reflexes.
Hao Ren has been walking for a while, constantly digesting various information. Occasionally he encountered ice beasts that were alone or in small numbers on the road, so he dealt with them easily, took out the beast core and continued on his way.
As he got closer to the stronghold, he could already see the commissioners in twos and threes. These were generally weak B-levels. There were only a few A-levels holding the line. They were responsible for the security around the stronghold.
Everyone else has dispersed to complete their respective tasks, but they will not be too far away, and the return journey will be within a day.
Hao Ren followed several commissioners, revealed his identity, and asked the question he thought of under the envious eyes of several people.
"The last gale period just stopped yesterday. Captain Hao, you are really lucky."
"The ice beast's action range? This is not defined. Generally, their actions will change after the gale period, but they will not stray too far from the surrounding area."
"However, the strength of the ice beasts is increasing faster and faster. It seems that we need to kill as many as possible this time. In the future, we will send more specialists to perform tasks."
After hearing this, Hao Ren frowned and thought for a moment. He was cautious, but he still focused on saving his life. He didn't want to waste his life on meaningless things.
