Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 94: Man in the Ice, Provocation
Originally, Bai Jue thought that as a carnivorous demon, the Tianshan Demon Tiger would have a strong meaty smell or sour taste, but in fact this was not the case.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods: grill the tiger ribs and tiger spine over an open flame to extract their essence, and stew the remaining appropriate parts in a large pot. Simply sprinkle some seasonings on them and you will have a delicious meal.

It took most of the day to prepare the body of the Tianshan Demon Tiger, and most of the time was spent waiting for the tiger meat to be roasted and cooked. The flesh of a commander-level demon is very resistant to cooking, but the taste is indeed worth the wait.

It was already night time, and gusts of wind were blowing from the mountains, like the roar of wild beasts.

The wind was blowing wildly. Because of the long and narrow terrain, the wind blowing in from higher places gathered through the canyon and formed a force like the breath of a giant wind dragon in the entire Tianshan Great Rift Valley, falling heavily on this area!

If it were an ordinary high-level magician, they would probably be wiped out here, but for Bai Jue and the others, it was no big deal, and they couldn't even shake the tents they had pitched in the camp.

No matter how strong the wind and snow were outside, it did not prevent Apas from fulfilling her bet.

After a period of rest, the two set off again, enjoying the scenery as they passed through the Great Rift Valley. By noon, they could already see the snow line.

After climbing over a relatively large slope, a lake at the pass of the Tianshan Mountains appeared before them. The location to which the Tianshan Great Rift Valley leads is the Tianshan Pool, which has always been rumored to be very holy and beautiful.

There is a thin layer of ice condensed on the Tianshan Pool. Judging from the thickness, people can barely step on it. There are rows of ancient coniferous trees on the edge of the pool that can block the wind and cold frost.

Looking over from here, one can see a hazy half of the lake, with many areas shrouded in ice fog. Beyond that is a icy ridge that is completely covered in ice and snow.

The ridge on the other side of the lake in front is already very majestic and steep, giving people a sense of majesty. However, at the far end of the higher horizon, you can still see the ice horn of the sacred mountain hidden in the clouds and ice. This means that the majestic mountains in front of you are The ice and snow ridges are just small hills compared to the real Tianshan Mountains.

The heavy snow that blocked the mountain had not completely melted, but a path appeared in front of Bai Jue and Apas. In the face of absolute strength, they naturally had to make way for it.

There are many rumors about the Traces of the Tianshan Mountains in the world. They are either described as a cold and deep hell, or they are said to be valleys and cliffs filled with snow. But in fact, everything in the Traces of the Tianshan Mountains looks like a still painting, and the mountains are like mirrors. , ice clouds are like yarn, the oxygen is thin, but the air is extremely fresh...

Stepping into it is like stepping into another world. The white glacier covers the undulating mountains like a vast armor, stretching to the boundless and distant antennas. The snow is white nearby and the rock ridges are blue and white high up.

The deeper blue mountains in the distance and the holy blue mountain shadows at the farthest end of the sight merge together with the azure sky. It looks like a magnificent sculpture full of layered beauty that was carved by a master with his life's hard work!
The most shocking thing is that at different altitudes in the sky, there are pieces of thin ice clouds that are suspended and moving slowly like gauze. The small thin ice clouds are about the size of a square, and the large thin ice clouds are completely like a piece of ice gauze, covering the vastness of the airspace at the highest altitude of Tianshan Mountains. It is as wide as the sky!
The glacier hangs upside down, like a waterfall of clouds. Walking in some areas with dense ice and thin clouds, you may even feel that the continuous ice hanging above your head is the ground. You are walking in an upside-down world!

"It's so beautiful." Apas looked at the scenery and admired it sincerely, while Bai Jue recorded the scenery.

There are no roars of wild beasts or strange cries in the Trace of the Tianshan Mountains. Everything seems to be asleep. Walking in such a country of ice, the footsteps are noisy, making people unconsciously lower their speaking volume and keep Quiet.

"Look over there!" Suddenly, Apas noticed something and pointed not far ahead... a person frozen in ice?

The slender orchid purple robe of the man in the ice covered his ice muscles and jade bones. His silver hair and snowy eyes were like a statue of the ice and snow goddess sealed in crystal, soft and pure.

"Qin Yuer, a victim of the ice disaster, was sealed here by the Court of Arbitration. She is also the protagonist of the rumor about the Holy Tiger of the Sky Mark that you asked me about before." Bai Jue identified the identity of the figure. She was the only one sealed in the Sky Mark.

He awakened at the age of ten, was sent to Tianshan at the age of eleven, officially began to practice at the age of fourteen, and was able to control the ice energy in his body at the advanced level at the age of seventeen. This speed of practice has surpassed Bai Jue!
Bai Jue also awakened at the age of ten, and was able to master himself at the age of sixteen. His cultivation was only at the intermediate level. Although he had a two-year gap due to a spell, Qin Yuer also had a holy place for cultivation like Tianshan, but he had the blessing of a system and the guidance of the living dead!
This comparison makes it possible to see more clearly Qin Yuer's talent. Despite her talent, she ended up dying in the original novel... How sad and lamentable.

This is probably what character determines destiny.

Bai Jue briefly told the story of Qin Yuer to satisfy Apas's curiosity, then skipped the seal and continued walking towards the depths of the Tianshan Scar.

"Eh? Big brother, aren't you going to save her?" Apas was a little confused.

"There's no need for that." Bai Jue turned around and glanced at Qin Yu'er again, then shook his head.

He felt sorry for her misfortune and was angry at her for not fighting back, but he was not prepared to help her remove the seal. This matter still needed to be done by her lover Zhan Kong himself. Without sufficient strength, even if he was free again, the past scene would only be repeated.

Although Bai Jue will definitely face Holy City in the future, it won't be now. He has no reason to disrupt his plans for the love story of two strangers, even if their story did make him feel regretful in the past.

But at least they are all alive now, and the future is promising, right?

"Well... Big brother, did you really come to Tianshan just to see the scenery?" Apas followed Bai Jue's steps and asked thoughtfully.

"That's more than half the motivation, I guess. Why are you asking this?" Bai Jue held the little hand that Apas had held up with his backhand.

"With your character of always weighing the benefits in everything, I find it hard to believe that you would travel just to see the scenery." Apas sighed.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with telling you. I'm just preparing a place for ascension while traveling." Bai Jue said.

His ambition was not big, it was just that the layout of the ascension land was rather complicated, and he needed to set foot on every inch of mountains and rivers in the magic plane.

………………

The two continued to move forward, and soon they saw a relatively low area of ​​ice clouds in front of them. The mountains as a whole showed an upward trend, while the inverted and suspended ice clouds sank slightly, thus squeezing out a spectacular sky cave landform surrounded by ice from top to bottom. Unlike the continuous ice layer seen at the beginning, the ice body around this glacier sky cave had many holes of different sizes, most of which were above the ice clouds, and looked like a block of honeycomb from a distance.

"This should be the nest of the ancient extremely cold eagle." Bai Jue looked around and came to a conclusion.

There are many arctic ancient eagles circling and patrolling in the sky. These are the male eagles in the eagle group. They have very handsome and domineering eagle crowns, showing a luster like the shining sun. In terms of body shape, the wingspan and skeleton of male eagles are obviously much stronger than those of female arctic ancient eagles. They are responsible for guarding the nest.

Bai Jue and Apas walked forward in a swaggering manner along a long glacier ravine in Bingyuntian Cave. The surrounding extremely cold ancient eagles seemed to be invisible and allowed them to pass through freely. The instruments faithfully recorded what Bai Jue saw and heard.

Bai Jue explored the Eagle's Nest bit by bit, while Apas collected the resources that appeared on the road bit by bit, no matter how big or small, she would not let go of any of them!

Soon after, they entered a glacier tunnel, which continued to extend into the glacier. The temperature inside was extremely low, and ordinary people would be in a state of ice invasion. This kind of ice invasion was quite cold and poisonous. Once it penetrated into the blood vessels throughout the body and stopped the blood flow, the person would be frozen in the glacier forever, but it didn't work on them.

Slowly, bloodstains that had solidified for who knows how long appeared in the ice tunnel, and there were more and more of them. Walking further inside, there were some relatively fresh bloodstains. When reaching the depths of the ice tunnel, Bai Jue discovered that many bloody monsters were sealed in the ice walls on both sides of the ice tunnel. Apparently, this was the frozen granary of the Extreme Cold Ancient Eagle!
There are quite a few arctic ancient eagles picking up ingredients here right now, some taking them away, and some feasting on the spot.

After recording the materials, the two went deeper into the eagle's nest. After passing through a long passage, they saw a wide ice cave square. This seemed to be the place where the Arctic Ancient Eagles gathered to sleep. Many monarch-level Arctic Ancient Eagles could be seen resting.

The strongest one is the Eagle Lord in the center of the ice cave, whose strength exceeds that of ordinary great monarchs and is close to that of the supreme monarch. However, he is still too weak for Bai Jue, and like the other extremely cold ancient eagles, he cannot sense the two of them.

After walking deeper, I soon came to an ice cave that was smaller than the previous large ice cave, but higher. After passing through the guardianship of some extremely cold ancient eagles, I came to a spacious place, which looked like a large ice cave. In the ice cellar, a ray of sunlight has been refracted countless times by the ice bodies, slightly lighting up the ice cellar under the mountain.

The ice cellar is very high, and in the wisps of refracted light, many young flying figures can be seen. They make thin and sharp sounds, which sounds very happy.

This underground ice cellar is full of eaglets whose feathers are not fully grown. Although they can fly in mid-air, they are as wobbly as a toddler.

Their bodies vary in size, but they are all very young. Some of them are fat and hungry in the middle of winter. They flap their wings vigorously and end up just doing tiptoe movements, which looks a bit funny.

Eagle eggs are different from those eaglets that have hatched. Those eagle eggs are all neatly placed in a low-lying place like a pool. There is a thin layer of ice in the low-lying place, so the eagle eggs look like they are frozen. Pebbles under clean lake water.

By the time Bai Jue and Apas left the nest of the ancient polar eagle, more than 80% of the resources had been taken away by them. What they had gained was enough to buy several cities!

Although Bai Jue has no shortage of resources now, he will not complain about having too many resources.

Passing the territory of the Arctic Ancient Eagle, we entered the Ice Valley. The terrain of this glacier mountain range is very complex, with too many corridors, caves, caves, and mountain mezzanines for activities... You will get lost if you are not careful.

Slowly, they saw a Tianhen white tiger with extremely high bloodline resting on the cliff of the ice valley!
The body of the Tianhen White Tiger is white amber, with a translucent texture. However, this guy is not smooth. It has thick and elegant hair on its body, from the neck to the tail. Its ears are very pointed and look like leaf-shaped horns, and there are rather domineering double-moon tiger stripes on its forehead.

The most unusual thing about this sky-marked white tiger is its eyebrows, which are as white as ice but as long as thick beards. The eyebrows hang in an arc next to the wild tiger cheeks, showing the look of a king. interest!
Bai Jue did not let 'Bai Jue' continue to conceal his breath. Tianhen White Tiger discovered them at the first moment. It climbed down the cliff and walked on the vertical and smooth ice wall, as lightly and steadily as if walking on ordinary grass.

Its limbs are obviously extremely strong and full of destructive power, but they walk silently, unlike other overlord-level monsters that are as powerful as every step of the earthquake.

The supreme monarch...

"This strength is just right. I can use it to evaluate my position among the monarchs." Bai Jue looked at Tianhen White Tiger and nodded with satisfaction.

"...Big brother, are you sure? This is the supreme monarch, and he has the blessing of the environment!" Apas secretly measured the gap between himself and the white tiger. If he transformed again, he might be able to compete briefly. Now, he would probably be torn apart in a few seconds!

"I'm not sure, but don't worry, you won't die." Bai Jue rubbed Apas's head and motioned her to step back.

"Come on, little tiger, let me see your strength!"

　Give me another day to adjust my schedule and I’ll start updating tomorrow.
