Chapter 1014: The Land that Absorbs Souls

Blaze has always respected the ancient races, because the ancient races always have missions that cannot be understood by ordinary life, such as watching, sealing, the secrets of the world, etc., so it is understandable that they are incomprehensible and very arrogant.

However, since learning the true face of the elves, Blaze has become somewhat disillusioned with the ancient race, and has also gained resistance.

Even if he encountered an ancient race in the future, no matter what happened, he would remain calm. But taking his own people to die was not something he could understand.

"This is troublesome." Blaze sighed heavily and explained the matter to the Psycho Clown and the Grand Commander GG.

This is much more troublesome than encountering a hostile nation.

The situation of the Jinlungabei people was shrouded in a fog. Except for the elders and leader Luen, the people of Jinlungabei behaved in a very ignorant manner, just like children.

If you give them food, they will not be able to resist eating it, but after eating they will look at the elders and Luen like children who have done something wrong.

The only elders who knew about the situation lowered their heads, while Luen remained silent, with no intention of communicating at all.

If it was just fog, it would be fine, but the two words "Loki" turned the fog into a conspiracy.

"Looks like I still have to pry your mouth open." Hebie, with an ice cube of healing potion in his mouth, circled around Luen vaguely.

In order to prevent Herbie from saying anything that would make them look like bad people with bad intentions, Blaze knelt on one knee in front of Luen and spoke very sincerely.

"No matter what conflicts we have, no matter what secrets you Jinlunjiabei people have, the threat of the At Giant must be greater than this."

Luen's eyelashes trembled and slowly opened.

"This land...will suck away the souls and body temperature of living beings. The unbelievable coldness you feel comes from the trembling of your soul being pulled."

Blazer's eye twitched, and he remembered that there was no soul in the material of the Far North Giant Bear. Those souls would not disappear out of thin air. If there was something that could steal the soul, it would never escape his eyes.

But I didn't expect that it was directly sucked away by the earth, and even the cold itself came from this incident.

Unexpectedly, he had just noticed something strange and before he had time to investigate, it was confirmed.

"So the temperature here is actually not that cold?" Blaze looked at Grand Commander GG. He remembered that the strangers had a tool to measure the ambient temperature.

That was also a magical little prop brought by the stranger, but it was used to measure human body temperature and should be able to be used now.

"Yes, yes~ it's just..." The commander took out the thermometer helplessly, and the temperature displayed on it was -20 degrees.
-
20 degrees is just the lower limit of the thermometer, not the actual temperature of the environment.

But even without a thermometer to measure the exact temperature, there is a primitive way to measure it, which is to sprinkle some water.

The cold here can kill people instantly, so water should turn into ice as soon as it hits the ground, and exhaled breath should instantly turn into ice mist. The result of the attempt was that it was a normal level of cold, probably the feeling of being hit head-on by an intermediate level ice magic.

"It looks like this is when the brain feels cold, so the body feels cold."

"It's also possible that something interfered with the brain's judgment, causing it to mistakenly think that the body was about to overheat and frantically dissipate heat."

"Is it because there is some kind of element that interferes with the nerves in the snow? Should I eat more carrots?" "It's the trembling of the soul being sucked away by the earth." Luen emphasized, but the foreigners have already explained this phenomenon with [science].

"This is magic exclusive to strangers, so it means the same thing as what you said."

Blaze knew that dwelling on this matter was fruitless, and he actually had a better explanation.

That is, there is Ymir's flesh and blood in this land of ice and snow, or this land of ice and snow simply still has the living flesh and blood of Ymir. The survival instinct of Ymir's flesh and blood without a soul makes it constantly try to absorb the soul flame to give birth to its own soul.

But this was just his speculation based on Kulene's words. With his understanding of Kulene, he could only believe a little bit of what she said, except that going to this icy land could solve the problem of the gem dragon seed.

He also doubted Loki. The title of Hellfire Follower was inseparable from Loki no matter how he looked at it.

"That is to say, this land will absorb souls in the form of coldness and form this thing." Blaze handed the fragments of the At Giant to Luen. It was magical that this piece of ice burning with soul flames had a little warmth.

Luen nodded, then shook her head.

"This land gave birth to living things, and living things, pulled by the land, returned to the land and gave birth to the life of ice."

The players discussed it later and found that the situation was actually very simple. It was a very clever plot design.

Simply put, this land of ice and snow is a huge mother body. After absorbing a certain amount of experience points, or soul flames, an ice giant - the At Giant - will be born.

Players hunting monsters will speed up this process.

Even though the blessed one's special ability can crush the soul flame, in reality the blessed one will not absorb all the souls.

Crushing is not just a special effect. While a large number of soul fragments are being absorbed, a small number of fragments fade and disappear, which is actually returning to the earth.

However, after exchanging information, the players discovered that the experience points gained from hunting monsters in the Giant Snowfield were indeed much less. Previously, they thought that it was because the levels of the monsters here were inflated, so the experience points were low. Now it seems that they were sucked away by the ground beneath their feet.

Even if the player does nothing, the At Giant will be born naturally in the cruel ecology and destroyed by this group of Jinlungabei people.

The players' hunting behavior will accelerate this process, and they will move towards the fourth-level cold area while chasing the Ate Giants, and encounter the Jinlunga people in battle.

However, destroying the At Giant together might help gain the trust of the Jinlunjiabei people, and now the very subtle thing is... the Jinlunjiabei people know that it was their players who did it.

These can also explain why the people of Jinlungabei look pale and thin, and are so taboo about eating. It turns out that it is because it will lead to the birth of the At Giant.

Although we don’t know what harm the At Giant will bring, giants generally represent disasters.

"I don't think the situation of 'the more you hunt, the lower your favorability will be' will happen later!"

“Is it too late for me to reopen now?”

Some players hid their belongings guiltily, and it was obvious that they contributed a lot to the birth of the At Giant.
