If you want to gain extraordinary power, you naturally need extraordinary consumption.

Everything has a price, and this is the truth of the world.

Just like if the Snow Dust Beast wants to obtain a biological shell that is harder than steel, it needs energy inside the body to support it.

Once the spiritual thread that conducts energy is captured by Elos, it will only end up deadly.

The same is true for Elos himself. After experiencing the battle just now, he became very depressed and did not want to speak. The process of retracting the bone blade also caused him torture. He shed a long plate of blood before stopping the wound on his palm.

He wrapped his newly changed warm clothes tightly and walked with his head down, completely no longer as energetic as before.

Joey didn't bother Elos's depressed state. She was now more concerned about where they were going. The light balls in the sky had not disappeared and became increasingly dense, which meant that they had indeed been on the right path.

After confirming the correct direction, Joey walked along the road. She looked at the wind and snow ahead and fell into a state of thinking again.

Time has come to the second half of the night. After experiencing the battle just now, both of them were exhausted greatly. Stopping to rest on this cold snow-capped mountain was a luxury for both of them. They did not bring enough tents and food. At the beginning, Alos thought about going down the mountain at night and not staying too long.

But the situation is the same now. Elos cannot ask for evacuation at this time, but as soon as he raised his head, his blurry eyes gradually became clear. The white snow spots slowly condensed in front of his eyes. When the moonlight shone, the mountains in the distance gradually disappeared under the entire night sky.

Not only the distant mountains began to disappear, but also the surrounding cliffs, the edges of the mountain, and the light balls in the sky began to disappear. Slowly, the whole world was left with only snow, night sky, moon, and nothing else.

Elos immediately woke up, and he hurriedly patted Joey on the shoulder ahead. He was afraid that she would disappear suddenly, so he would have to find his own way.

"What's wrong?" Joey turned to ask.

"Look at the surroundings."

At the prompt of Elos, Joey looked carefully at the surroundings, and then she noticed the abnormality of the environment.

“When did we get here?”

"It's over." Elos held his head with his hands.

One of them was depressed after exhausting their physical strength, while the other thought about things too seriously, so they didn't notice the changes in the surrounding environment.

"It doesn't matter. Even if there are some illusions, we can reach the scheduled location by just following this road. I've confirmed it before." Joey was very calm.

"Yeah." Elos could only accept the whole statement.

After the surrounding mountains, cliffs, boundaries, and everything disappeared, Joey and Elos lost the reference to some extent, which means that they might have fallen into the cliff with one step and rolled down.

Faced with this tense situation, both of them became highly vigilant. Joey stopped and used magic gloves to pull out another element sequence. The function of this sequence is to determine the direction, which is equivalent to a compass that can anchor in any direction. After meditating on the complete sequence, a purple arrow appeared on the back of Joey's hand.

On the snow without reference objects, it is very likely that the body deviates from its original direction due to involuntary and subtle adjustments. With this purple light arrow, Joey can adjust the direction at any time to ensure that the two of them will not get lost in it.

Elos was not idle either. As soon as he left his mood, he began his work to dig out the flowers of Winter Hidden. Their location was close to the depths of the snow-capped mountains. Logically speaking, there would be a higher probability of digging out the flowers of Winter Hidden.

Both of them were doing what they should do while they were marching. Ailos digged up the snow layer countless times, but as he expected, he finally saw the root system of the Winter-Transporting Flower.

This root system is very long and dense, which means that the quality of this winter hiding flower should be very good. Airos' mood suddenly improved. He wanted to reach out and peel off the remaining snow layer, but the harder he tried, he found that the snow layer became more and more strange. Black water was slowly seeping out from under the snow layer.

What's this?

Elos dragged a black fish with a tail out of the black water. Before he could see clearly, he saw the black fish open its teeth-filled mouth and bit it at him. Elos was so panicked that he hurriedly threw the black fish into the snow beside him, watching it swing wildly on the snow.

Let’s look back at the root system of the Winter Flower. What is the root system? The black water has soaked in the depths of the snow, and the root system actually swims by itself, just like the tentacles of an octopus.

Elos stood up and frowned. He thought that it seemed that nothing here could be touched after this, and the power of the illusion had completely enveloped the place.

After this little episode, Elos became a little bored on the next journey, but occasionally he could ask Joey how far it was, but Joey just replied that he would arrive soon.

This will arrive soon, and I don’t know how long it will take. While Elos was thinking, Joey suddenly stopped, "This is it."

When Elos looked forward, he could not see any trace of the dragon's corpse. There was a whole piece of snow in front of him. There was no limit to the point, and he could only see the night skyward and the stars became more and more shining.

Joey continued, "Don't worry about the illusion, we are now in front of a cave, and now we need to walk in."

With Joey's patient guidance, Elos nodded, saying that he was relieved. He followed Joey into the illusory cave.

Just two steps away, the two saw flashing spots exploded from the vast night sky. The flashing spots spread and enlarged, forming an exquisite magic seal. The magic seal Alos could not tell which place it originated. Joey explained, "It is summoning magic."

Summoning magic, what will it summon?

Elos kept looking forward and took a few more glances.

The magic seal kept flashing in the sky, condensing and forming at different orientations and angles. A huge claw first came from the depths of the edge of the magic seal, followed by the body. When the huge and vicious head was revealed, Alos realized that this was a... giant dragon.

This is a mythical creature that Iroth has only seen in textbooks. Its fiery red body is covered with bronze scales, its horned head is low, and on both sides of its sharp mouth are wrapped with golden bones, its wings are spread out, and a long belt of flames flew out from the skeletons of the two wings. The warm red light shone the night like day.

"(Karta's swearing), this hallucination is too real." Elos preached.

Joey took a closer look, but before he could see enough, he took out a monocular lens from his bag, adjusted the magnification, and looked more carefully.
