After I quit the team, they chased me

Simon also remembered the one time he met him in the dream realm. At that time, "he" must have been in the mental state of a snowman, otherwise he would not have appeared in Simon's dream realm in the form of a snowman.

Combined with the fact that some mountaineering teams in the past were wary of carriages and chose to walk, Simon could easily guess that the young man named Torre must have been hit by a spell-type wild monster while riding a horse, and temporarily turned from a human into a snow monster.

This change is beyond common sense and is also a wild monster mechanism that has never been seen in the Sea Town dungeon.

But I have never seen it before. Now that I know about it today, I can be on guard.

As long as you don't take a horse-drawn carriage, there will most likely be no problem.

"But what about the horse? Where did it go? Did you become unconscious after being knocked down?" Simon asked.

Torre nodded. He was still confused and in inexplicable cold fear. His head seemed to be filled with ice. He could not answer Simon's questions accurately and could only deal with it with the universal nod.

After asking a few questions and finding no new information, Simon ignored the passerby.

He gathered his men and rowed to the other side for a brief meeting.

The climbers next door were also excitedly discussing what they had just seen and heard, as if they were there themselves and facing a life-and-death crisis.

Simon didn't look at them, and said to the team members around him: "Everyone, what I was wary of before has happened. Riding a horse on the snowy mountain may be targeted by wild monsters with a new mechanism.

"We don't know what the enemy looks like, nor do we know where they are. We have to find them out. Otherwise, if we leave something we don't understand hanging around behind us, we won't be able to climb the mountain safely."

"Yeah, I agree!" Little Shark nodded.

"Now it seems like we have returned to the era of the Earth Dragon Secret Realm. We have to explore step by step, and many wild monsters need to be understood personally." Bai Tang said with emotion.

During the period of the sixth level of the Earth Dragon Secret Realm, in order to find a safe route, Simon frequently went on reconnaissance with Xiao Qian. Many times, she was not needed to go with them, which made her worry for a long time.

Now, Simon needs everyone, otherwise he will not be able to move forward in a place with low visibility like the snowy mountains.

Bai Tang likes the feeling of being needed.

Ten minutes later, Simon did not climb the mountain again, but chose to go down the mountain.

It's not that he's afraid, but Simon wants to observe Torre's condition and see when he can recover his physical defense.

Any negative buff has a duration.

So far, Simon has not seen any lasting negative effects.

Therefore, the zero armor value on Torre will definitely return to normal at a certain point in time.

This time interval is very important to the Snow Mountain Team. Simon plans to let Bai Gu personally ride a horse to attract the attention of the Snow Mountain monster, and then everyone will surprise attack and kill it.

As Bai Gu is the one who attracts hatred and takes the damage, her main job function cannot be abandoned.

Only by observing the time point when the defense is restored can Simon execute this tactic with peace of mind.

Chapter 261 Two Experiences

Simon was ready to take Torre down the mountain, but the group of passers-by who had stopped at the signpost had not yet explored upwards.

If we follow the Snow Mountain Team down the mountain at this time, this trip will be fruitless.

"Senior Simon, can you wait until we come back from our exploration and go down the mountain together? We have only been here two minutes." The female captain who was in charge of the mountaineering team badge took a deep breath and said with courage.

"Two minutes?" Simon asked.

"Yes."

"I understand. I'll wait for you." Simon raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression.

If what they said was true, they only stayed for two minutes, so the time must be wrong.

Simon walked on it for at least a few minutes, and so did Torre's statement, which was a few minutes later.

The passers-by standing next to the signpost stayed there for less than two minutes, which meant that Simon and others ran for more than ten seconds and then came back.

Soon, the passers-by teams set out one after another, heading towards the wind and snow.

To be on the safe side, Simon asked these people not to ride horses but to go up the mountain on foot.

As for why, just look at Torre's current situation, which is the best reference.

Torre was speechless. It turned out that Simon didn't ride a horse for a reason, but he didn't know the reason and went up the mountain recklessly.

But being able to come back alive was already a favor from the god of death. He hugged his body and shivered all over. Under the erosion of cold and fear, he gave up the idea of ​​climbing the mountain and no longer cared about the treasure on the snow-capped mountain.

The passers-by nodded, said their thanks and climbed up the mountain. They were immersed in the wind and snow, and their figures gradually blurred until they could no longer be seen.

Simon estimated that it only took ten seconds for the image to disappear from view after becoming clear.

Only Torre and the members of the Snow Mountain Team were left at the scene. Simon sat next to Torre and continued to ask about the details of the mountaineering and horse riding.

Torre answered Simon's questions while shivering. His rusty brain seemed to be frozen into ice. He had to think for a long time before breaking the ice to answer each question.

Simon found that this man's condition was very abnormal, and there was a negative BUFF with the cold symbol on his head, and no other symbols.

After repeated questioning, Simon determined the time when the man rushed over.

The time is not equal!

The time for those who enter the central snow mountain for adventure is two different times from those who don’t: one is slow, and the other is normal.

Simon only waited for thirty seconds before he saw a group of passers-by who were climbing the mountain coming back shivering, with cold buffs on their heads.

Two seconds after the first group of passers-by came back, a group of blurry figures appeared in the wind and snow. They were the second mountaineering team.

Ten seconds later, all the passers-by returned to the signpost stone, and everyone had a cold buff.

After the fire warlock summoned fireballs to warm the scene and remove the cold buff, everyone finally warmed up again.

"How long did you guys adventure up there?" Simon asked.

"One hour."

"Half an hour."

"About forty minutes..."

The adventure time is different for each team of passers-by.

At this time, all the members of the Snow Mountain Team showed surprised expressions.

The time is different.

It was obvious that less than a minute had passed while I was standing next to the signpost.

Everyone looked at each other and discovered another mechanism of the snow mountain trip: the flow of time inside was inconsistent with the outside time.

Although I have experienced the same thing in the dream realm, it still feels strange to encounter a similar place in reality.

"We only waited here for a few seconds."

When Simon finished speaking, passers-by showed expressions of surprise and sudden enlightenment.

"how so."

"I felt it was strange before, but I didn't dare to ask. It turns out that snow mountains are really strange."

"Let's go up and try again..." someone suggested.

Although it was very cold up there, I didn't encounter any wild monsters on the way up, so it felt like the difficulty level was just that high.

Of course, Torre's experience reminded everyone that the place up there is definitely not a safe place. It is filled with invisible illusions that may cause harm, and humans who have turned into snow monsters may be hit.

This time, Simon led the way himself, leading a group of passers-by up.

Our team left behind one of Roy and Xiao Qian's souls, as well as her real body.

The two stayed beside the signpost stone, and Xiao Qian sensed the second soul from a distance.

It should be mentioned here that Xiao Qian’s soul skill has been upgraded to LV4, and she can already be up to one thousand meters away from the main body.

At this distance, she can scout farther.

Simon led the team of passers-by forward, walking into the wind and snow. The whistling wind blew into their clothes, bringing severe cold.

The higher you go during mountain climbing, the longer it takes.

Every step you take will encounter huge resistance from the wind and snow, so the time it takes to take each step is lengthened.

In addition, this time I brought a team of strangers, so I had to take their physical fitness into consideration, so it took longer.

By the time they reached a thousand meters, it had taken them more than fifty minutes.

This is also the adventurer's physical bonus.

If it were an ordinary person without any skills, it would definitely take more than fifty minutes to climb a thousand meters in such a harsh environment.

At this time, Xiao Qian's soul could no longer move forward.

The sound of wind and snow was very loud around him. Simon looked back and saw a large white curtain wall made up of snow. He could not see the scenery behind him at all.

The teammates around me were all very close to each other and did not separate.

A few meters away, there was a blurry black shadow, which was another group of passers-by.

Passersby were all holding on, they had already been marked by the cold and were shivering with cold.

The little shark listened to the blurry figures of the passers-by through his mind's eye.

She did not sense the presence of the yeti, but heard the breathing of humans.

There are no monsters, only humans.

Are there no wild monsters on the snowy mountains?

Or is it that we haven't gone far enough?

However, when he reached this distance, Simon could already feel that the temperature had dropped to a terrifying level, feeling like minus ninety degrees.

The exhaled air turns into solid ice particles as soon as it reaches the nose.

If not everyone had been upgraded to four stars, their physical condition would be just like the random team next door, with all members having the cold buff.

Simon doesn’t have the cold buff on his head yet, so he doesn’t feel the coldness to his soul.

But when Simon went over to meet the passers-by, he found that their bodies were stiff and they couldn't even walk.

Just a few seconds ago, he was still walking slowly.

The two-thousand-meter boundary is already the limit for them, Simon thought.

They couldn't go back on their own.

Here, whether going forward or back, it consumes a lot of their physical energy.

Fortunately, Bai Gu was by her side, and she was able to carry several people down the mountain by herself.

In addition, the soul body Xiao Qian is not afraid of the severe cold. Although she is a soul body, she can carry things through the air, and she can also carry the lady's hand.

After deciding to return, everyone carried the passers-by down the mountain. They no longer needed to consider their speed. In addition, the four-star physique had a strong ability to resist the cold, so they went down the mountain faster.

About ten minutes later, Simon and his team led the team back to the signpost stone at the foot of the mountain.

As the temperature warmed up to minus 20 degrees Celsius, the condition of the passerby team gradually improved and they were able to walk.

At this time, Xiao Qian, the soul who had been hanging next to her, saw another soul next to the signpost stone.

The moment the two looked at each other, their mysterious feelings connected, and they noticed the difference in their perception of time.

It's a very strange reaction.

When they did not meet, the soul on the mountain thought that seventy minutes had passed.

After meeting, Xiao Qian found that only four minutes had passed.

Two perceptions, two different experiences.

Who is real?

Xiao Qian's two souls showed surprise in their eyes.

Chapter 262 Challenging the Snow Mountain

Xiao Qian told Simon about her time experience.

This feeling is very strange. The soul and body clearly come from the same source and the perception is shared in real time, but after entering the snow-capped mountains, it becomes a non-real-time shared experience.

If the two do not meet, I am afraid this misconception will continue.

"If two souls return to the body, which one will be the primary one?" Simon asked carefully.
