Chapter 158 The Gamble with the Silver-haired Female Apprentice (1)
A kind of corrosive source power fluctuation, and the tutor's source power characteristics have such a kind
"There is a big difference." Head thought for a moment and explained in a relatively easy-to-understand contrast style. "My erosion is very fierce, and the fluctuations in the northern peak of sighs are more gentle, or should be said to be vicious."
The creatures that can survive in the extreme cold and frozen soil in the north are deeply affected by the peak of sighs. They must use their own source power to resist the extremely cold climate that erodes the source power. If they cannot resist it, they will die. Therefore, the northern region is a typical area where the fittest survives, and weak creatures cannot survive and reproduce here at all.
Because of this, humans or monsters who can live in this area for a long time are quite powerful. Of course, due to this high-intensity pressure, humans who usually survive in this area for a long time have strong physical fitness, but most people have an average life expectancy of about ten years lower than other areas of the empire.
Des is enlightened: "If the mentor and I practice in the northern region, it will greatly improve the effectiveness of the inheritance.
"Well, this is the case in theory, but we are not northerners and are not used to living in cold climates for a long time. If we stay here for too long, the most anti-production results will probably be effective in the practice.
Head looked at the silver-haired apprentice: "And with Dess your strength stage, you won't care about that slight impact at all in the area away from the peak of sighs.
Des nodded, no longer talking, but focused on controlling the mount under him, while paying careful attention to the other two long-haired yak pigs responsible for carrying most of their luggage.
The silver-haired female apprentice is easy to learn and never expresses different opinions on Black Shakusou teaching. This is her advantage but it is also a disadvantage. Of course, this almost blind trust is only like this for Head. Head feels that it may be difficult for her to change her personality.
There is nothing wrong with this. Head doesn't think Des can become the perfect and independent super female warrior, and there is no need for him to take care of the silver-haired girl who always follows behind him silently.
A week later, the two have entered the frozen soil area in the northern part of the empire. There are at least two and a half months left in the cold season this year. Of course, the climate in the northern area is very harsh at this time. The tiny snow particles that are constantly falling slowly in the sky cover up the roads opened up for years. The snow moss and low shrubs that can survive tenaciously in the extreme cold north are also covered with snow. Only the soft white undulating curves can slightly distinguish the difference in the terrain.
The only thing that can be used as a signpost during the day is the unique needle-leaf snow shirts in the northern region. These tenacious cold zones divide the vast snow fields into roughly recognizable landscapes. Of course, Head has something more convenient to distinguish the general direction, which comes from the hands of fairies and craftsmen, a magic directional instrument similar to the compass.
"We first move towards the northwest direction and head to the unmanned area not far from the Sighing Mountains."
This makes the two of them more detours, and they have to go on a continuous journey than going directly to the central city in the north. Although Snow City, the only settlement city in this area, is also located at the foot of the central mountain in the Sighs Mountains, such an itinerary is always a bit strange.
Although there is no need to explain everything clearly to the silver-haired female apprentice, Head still explained: "I want to hunt some rare monster crystal cores to assist in inheritance and cultivation, and you can also adapt to fighting in such a frozen area."
De nodded without objection. She heard what Heid said. The destination she went to with her mentor this time would definitely encounter various battles.
According to the itinerary scheduled by Head, the areas where the two passed were unmanned areas. The terrain of the frozen soil area was rugged and sharp rocks were often distributed under the seemingly flat snow fields. At this time, the advantages of the long-haired yak pig were fully reflected.
These large pig-type monsters are a northern native monster that took a long time to tame in the Witland territory. They have thick fat to resist extreme cold temperatures. The thick long hair on the surface not only has the effect of preventing cold. They also intertwined with each other to form tough natural armor. The thick hoof feet can effortlessly break through the snow layer and insert into the solid frozen soil with the support of outstanding weight and true amount. The thick and tough horny hoof feet will not be damaged even if they step on the sharp rocks under the snow layer.
The most interesting thing is that these giant pigs' round belly, which was originally considered to be a burden, has become an important marching aid. The protruding belly of the long-haired yak pig is very effective in compacting the snow layer, forming a sliding-like arc trajectory in the snow underneath. The strong pig's trotters are constantly digging, and they can slide for a long distance in the snow field.
Although the movements of the long-haired yachts look funny and feel like they are clumsy in the mud, it is undeniable that this way of traveling is very physically efficient and not slow. Moreover, people sitting on the saddle on their backs feel very stable and small, even if they sleep on a large saddle, they will not be affected by the bumps and rest.
"It's really suitable for long-distance mounts in the northern frozen soil." It was the first time that Head personally experienced this special mount. The war beast taming skills of the northern people were able to produce excellent mount varieties from many wild monsters.
"Teacher, what kind of monster do you want to hunt?"
The two have been on the journey for about twenty days. Not to mention meeting people on the way, they have never seen a moving creature before. The silver-haired female apprentice is a little doubtful whether there are really wild monsters in this area.
"The white slime that exists only in the northern Sigh Mountains. This is a high-level slime that is usually not lower than the eighth level, but its appearance is difficult to describe in detail because this slime can shape it. They can perfectly hide themselves, simulate the appearance of other monsters and even some skills, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity. They are quite tricky monsters.
"But the native monsters in the North are so rare, even if this slime of shapes turns into other monsters, it doesn't make sense?
Heard heard Des' doubts and smiled and explained: "The native species of monsters in the North are indeed rare, but there are still many near the Sigh Mountains. For example, the long-haired yak pigs we mount have many wild communities, as well as crystal leopards, unicorn snow sculptures, etc.."
He explained some wild monster ecology unique to the north. The silver-haired female apprentice listened very seriously. She guessed that Head really needed the kind of morphological slime crystal core that he had never heard of before to improve his abilities.
“Of course, the most are the yak pigs
Des realized something: "No wonder the tutor asked me to pay attention to the movement habits of these long-haired yachts.
"Well, this allows you to fully familiarize yourself with the habits of long-haired yachts, in order to distinguish the authenticity. White Slime is best at mixing into wild yachts and prey on prey."
Since the two started their journey, Haid would take some time during the day to rest every day, and let four long-haired yachts ride to dig out the snow layer and find snow moss to eat. Des was a little puzzled. The two carried enough feed. At first, she thought this was a young mentor to save supplies carefully just in case, and now she knows the real reason.
"Once White Slime intends to form other monsters, even if I use high-level source power perception, I cannot distinguish it. I can only infer the authenticity from some subtle actions." Head emphasized, "But when it perfectly embodies it, it is also the best opportunity to hunt it, because the crystal nucleus in its body will stabilize at this time.
Des understood what Haid meant: "That is to say, this kind of slime often intends to form a long-haired yak pig. At this time, the crystal nucleus in its body is like a real long-haired yak pig, located in the middle of the chest cavity.
"Yes, hunting this kind of White Shraiyao requires Des to become the main attacker. After all, this kind of Aunt Shrai has a strong resistance to my erosion source, so I can only act as a restraint during the hunting process."
Although White Slime's shape-shifting ability is powerful, it is simulation rather than replication after all. The source power of its crystal nucleus is still the original erosion power of Slime. It repels each other by the same sex. Head is really not sure that he can kill such a guy who is extremely resistant to his erosion power with one blow.
Head was also helpless. He urgently needed to use White Slime's crystal core to practice some special skills to deal with this trip to the north.
This time when you go to the north, you will inevitably meet the strange girl from the Insekt family. And in a short while, as the target of Miss Yuaicuirida's trial, a life-and-death fight is inevitable. In addition, the North Glory Ceremony that the Seket family decided to be held after Han Li ended must also be resolved. The danger of this ceremony is too great, and it is likely that the Insekt family's vitality will be severely damaged.
Whether it is the tangled situation in the imperial capital or the threat from the elf empire on the southwest border, it requires the power of the Insekt family. The power of the Insekt family cannot be greatly lost within at least five years.
Of course, the premise is that Head can successfully win the Insecette family to become an ally of the royal family.
A few days later, the two approached the Sighing Mountains, and indeed saw a large herd of wild yaked pigs on the snowfield at the foot of the mountain.
"Carefully identify whether there are any strange guys among these giant pigs. I found that the target must be trapped even if it cannot be killed with one blow. The long-haired yak pigs are used to collective action. Once they are frightened, they will flock together. In that case, it is difficult to chase after it.
"We must minimize accidental injuries. The long-haired yachts have a deep memory of the aura of the enemy who hunted them. After that, I need to rely on the power of the huge wild yacht group in the north and cannot leave a bad impression on them.
The silver-haired female apprentice felt a little stressed. Even the most admired mentor could not directly fight against this monster. Can she really meet the mentor's expectations?
"Don't worry, Des, this kind of white Slime is mainly good at hiding herself and escaping. In fact, it is not powerful in itself." Seeing Des's slight nervousness, Head tried to ease her emotions." "Why don't we come to the game to see who discovered the shape-shifting white Slime first. The winner can make the other party unconditionally agree to his request, how about it?",
