After I quit the team, they chased me

At the same time, it also released a soul shock that shook the bones.

However, Bai Gu had already moved, and the source blood fire shield was burning its blood madly. In addition, three soul sword waves were interspersed, and there was also continuous heart-cutting sword energy.

Soon, its 100,000 pieces of blood, which were as thin as paper, were quickly evaporated, leaving nothing behind.

"Why, why!" It let out a scream and died in anger.

At first, no one could understand its bird language, but looking at its expression, we probably guessed that the sentence meant a question.

Everyone relaxed their nervous hearts a little, waiting for it to explode into a pool of blue light.

However, something unexpected happened.

After its death, it did not emit a blue light, but turned into an invisible memory, drilling into everyone's mind in the form of sound, roaring continuously.

Chapter 290 Lock and Key

The memories that burrowed into everyone's mind were fragments of memories of the dead head.

His memory is naturally filtered by an old history, turbid and unclear, like yellowed pages of a book, with metaphorical and suggestive effects.

It was just a priest, leading his followers covered in strange paint into the mountain path, standing on the altar, dancing and singing incomprehensible bird language.

At the end of the ancient ritual, he took out a sharp dagger, stabbed it into his neck, and twisted it hard to separate his head from his body.

This is the ancient memory brought by the dead head.

It is filled with a frenzy of madness, stupidity and death.

Simon opened his eyes, took a breath, and calmed himself down, clearing away the crazy emotions that were welling up in him.

He looked at the ground after the elite monster died. There were no blue essence blocks and no materials.

Therefore, the items it drops should be things like memories, which are rather ethereal.

At this time, Simon looked at the spell on the altar again with the memory of the ancients, but he no longer felt dizzy. He saw it very clearly. The spell meant to sacrifice one's own body in exchange for eternal life for the dead.

In other words, this is an ancient ritual called the immortality of the dead, and the object of sacrifice is the Cyclops BOSS, which the ancients called the Giant King.

The Giant King is located at a higher point, but their sacrificial chambers are built inside the snow mountain, which is equivalent to building a sacrificial place in the heart of the snow mountain.

There is still a difference between the two. Instead of meeting the Giant King, the sacrifice is held at the heart of the snow mountain. Therefore, the real object of the sacrifice should be the snow mountain.

Simon shook the people around him, and they woke up one by one.

Their mental resistance was not as strong as Simon's. It took them several minutes to recover after waking up and to get rid of the crazy emotions brought by the dead head.

"This guy won't rest in peace even after death."

"But is it really dead? Isn't its ritual called the eternal life of the dead?" Bai Tang asked doubtfully.

"It sounds nice, but in reality it's not that easy to achieve eternal life." Simon shook his head in disbelief.

The memory of the dead head is filled with a strong and fanatical belief, which is the infinite trust in the Giant King. He firmly believes that the sacrificial knowledge he has learned since childhood is true, and that sacrificing his body to the Giant King can gain eternal life.

But in a sense, it lived long enough, and was not killed until now by Simon and others.

Simon led his teammates to move forward, entered the dome sacrificial chamber, collected the materials exploded from the yeti mother body into the space backpack, and then continued to walk up along the mountain path.

Up there, Simon met a new group of monsters. Unlike the room in the heart of the snow mountain, the hairy monsters here had human form, holding wooden staffs used for sacrifice in their hands, and some held wooden sticks and long swords.

Putting aside their blood volume and hardness, Simon's first instinct reminded him of the sacrifice performed with the dead head.

The long-haired humanoid snow monster that I see now is beginning to overlap with the shape in my memory.

The ancient people who participated in the snow mountain sacrifices seemed to have turned into snow monsters. This might be the result of the failure of the ancient ritual.

Some ancient people merged into the snow-capped mountains and grew on the walls of the mountains. Their brains crystallized into the shape of gems, becoming the mother body or the laser gem snow monster.

Originally, there was no such thing in the dead head's memory, but after Simon walked into the upper room and saw them, this knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.

On the other hand, the people next to them didn't react that seriously. They were just waiting cautiously for Xiao Qian to lure out the monster.

Monsters have their own hatred range. Xiao Qian is a soul body and is very flexible in attracting monsters. Besides, they are not BOSSes. With the current short-term burst ability of the four-star team, it is no problem to kill them instantly.

Half an hour later, the small monsters and long-haired elite monsters in the upper space were lured into monster-free corners using the same method and killed instantly.

Small monsters are easy to kill, but elite monsters are troublesome. Every time one dies, a layer of ancient memories will appear in your mind.

However, Simon never found the thing that he imagined could restrain the BOSS, but the materials dropped by wild monsters slowly piled up like a mountain.

after one day.

All the monsters on the scene were cleared away, and everyone killed about three hundred wild monsters.

At the front of the hall is a spiral staircase similar to the boss door.

There are a large number of sacrificial murals carved on the surface of the stairs. Simon has seen them and found that the content is consistent with the murals on another spiral staircase.

Although he still hadn't found anything to restrain the BOSS, as the memories of the elite monsters continued to pour in, Simon reorganized them and discovered that the key to cracking the BOSS mechanism lay in the memories given to him by the wild monsters.

In the memory of the ancients, a golden sun once fought against the Giant King.

What’s interesting is that the spell runes of the sun are there, represented by bird-like pictographic runes.

This bird easily reminded Simon of a golden scale.

Simon has a feather given by the Golden Scale BOSS, but directly taking out the feather to anger the Giant King is not the real use of this item.

There is the power of golden scales in the feathers. When facing wind and snow, ask them for help.

Also, after sorting out a lot of memories, Simon finally confirmed that the Giant King is not called Fengxue, and it is not Fengxue.

The existence called "Wind and Snow" by Jin Lin is the existence believed by another group of heretics in the ancient tribe.

It represents wind and snow, and holds the power over wind and snow, while the Giant King is a symbol of power.

After sorting out his memories to this point, Simon has come up with a relatively complete background outline.

If nothing unexpected happens, there are two major bosses in the snow mountain area, one is the snow wind and the other is the giant king, representing the belief systems of two different factions.

If you take the inner passage of the snow mountain, you will most likely meet the Giant King.

If you take the snow mountain outdoor route to the top of the mountain, you will most likely encounter wind and snow at the top of the mountain.

According to the normal procedures and what Simon has on hand, it would be best to go up the mountain.

But Fengxue's help is based on the certification of the Golden Scale Feather, and this opportunity can only be used once. If it were another team, they would probably have to kill Fengxue to get through. Therefore, the way up the mountain is not the best solution for the general public.

If we want to weaken the Giant King, in addition to the path of golden scale feathers, the memories of the ancients also point out another way.

The temperature inside the snow mountain was the same as outside at first, and it was just as cold.

But the ancients received a prophetic dream from the Giant King. They followed the guidance and worked tirelessly to dig mountain roads. Most of the opponents who believed in wind and snow as gods were engaged in production, hoping that the annual grain would not be destroyed by wind and snow. The Giants would obviously anger the wind and snow, and the two began to fight openly and secretly.

But later, as seen before, the Giant Faction succeeded and suppressed the Snow Wind Faction as a heretic. They built a mysterious altar, performed rituals for the immortality of the dead, and lowered the temperature inside.

If the entire altar system of the snow mountain is destroyed, the severe cold brought by the wind and snow can be reintroduced.

When the Giant King fights in a severe cold and snowy environment, his defense will be greatly reduced.

There is no memory content that reduces magic resistance here, it seems that only defense is reduced.

The longer the cooling time lasts, the more horrific the reduction in defense will be.

The best case scenario is that the physical defense drops from 10,000 to 2,000.

By then, we can add some resistance-reducing skills. Even if the Giant King enters the second stage, the top three-star team will still have the possibility of killing it.

Simon confirmed the number of altars with his teammates. By comparing their memories, they found that there were more than a hundred altar rooms inside the snow mountain.

It is neither difficult nor easy to destroy these altars.

The altar rooms themselves are not open; they are located in closed mountain paths, which were physically separated in the spatial sense by mysterious rituals used by the ancients.

In order to discover these hidden spaces, you have to use the hairy laser monster's specific laser to break the space blockade of the ancient ritual.

Simply put, the ancients set up more than a hundred locks, and the hairy monster's laser is the key. If they want to defeat the Giant King, the Snow Mountain Team will have to spend a lot of time exploring the snow mountain.

Chapter 291: Bold attempt, forced climbing

There are two paths in front of you. The option of going directly to the top of the mountain outdoors is probably the fastest option.

The members of the Snow Mountain Team regarded the Snow Wind Boss as a friendly force by default, but Simon regarded it as a neutral Boss in his mind.

There are feathers with golden scales, they are friends.

Without the golden scales’ feathers, they are irrelevant ants. If they catch the eye of the Snow Wind Boss, they will be killed.

"Simon, should we go up the mountain or slowly explore the snow-capped mountains?" asked Little Shark.

Under normal circumstances, Simon would have to play it safe.

Now that we know how to weaken the Giant King, and we also know how to reach the door of the Giant King's BOSS room, the safety level has increased dramatically.

As for Fengxue, the method to weaken it is still unknown.

If the Snow Wind BOSS does not recognize the Golden Scale Feather, a BOSS battle is inevitable.

But on the other hand, if you have to fight, wouldn't it be better and safer to tear up the world-breaking teleportation scroll and go back down the mountain to see the true face of the BOSS?

If you take the path of the Giant King without taking a look at the wind and snow and confirming its condition, it would obviously be too subjective and idealistic.

"Let's go up the mountain and give it a try. If it fails, we'll go down and look for the altar." Simon thought.

After all, they have the feathers of the Golden Scale King. It would be a great loss if they didn't use such an important prop.

However, going up the mountain is also very troublesome. With such steep terrain, there is no space to stand stably, and it is troublesome no matter how you fight.

Unless there is a corresponding strategy for the top of the snow mountain, this may require adventurers to develop it carefully and come up with a corresponding strategy.

Simon felt a bit of a headache when he thought about this, but there was a solution.

But those methods were built upon the Grand Alchemist's multi-purpose creations, war machines animated by the Midas Touch.

Developing targeted all-terrain and cold-resistant combat mechas allows adventurers to have agility to fight regardless of terrain, and to be able to walk on flat ground even in extremely cold climates.

However, this method requires a lot of money and corresponding four-star talents. To be honest, this is not easy.

I don’t know when old Wim down the mountain will be able to get promoted.

Apart from this money-burning method, Simon can't think of any other solution for the time being. Perhaps there are other solutions in the snow mountain.

The snow-capped mountain area that Simon has explored now only accounts for 2% of the entire vast snow-capped mountain range.

There are still many unexplored areas. He has only explored them vertically, but not horizontally.

Simon did not lead the team directly down the mountain, because old Wim's promotion could not be completed in a short time.

He led the team to rest in the cave for one night and then started the snow mountain hiking trip.

Logically, he should expand the content of horizontal exploration, but that is the playing style of ordinary teams. He has golden scale feathers, which is equivalent to the possibility of skipping classes.

The last time I encountered a black-beaked bird in the snowy mountains, I took out the golden-scale feather to test it, but the effect was not good. It seems that only the blood of birds can suppress it.

Now knowing that "Snow Wind" was most likely the BOSS on the top of the mountain, Simon immediately took out the golden scale feather and took it as he walked.

The wild monsters may not recognize this feather because their IQ is not high enough.

However, as long as an intelligent creature like the BOSS has a friendship with the golden scale, it will most likely recognize it.

After walking for about a thousand meters, Simon and the others once again sensed the approach of strong friendly forces, which in turn were murderous intentions.

Simon knew that it was the animal's hunting instinct, or it could be the black-beaked bird's instinctive killing intent against an unknown stranger.

Simon took out the golden scale feather, which itself had the aura of the golden scale BOSS.

The golden scales with dragon bloodline suppressed them invisibly, making them feel afraid. They flapped their wings and began to circle around Simon and the others.

They changed their ferocious attitude, but were not scared away.

After all, how could these ants possibly climb onto the high branch of the Golden Scale King?

Maybe it was picked up from somewhere. It is not something that humans should have.

If you snatch it and present it to the king, you will gain Fengxue's favor.

Simple thoughts like these spread among the birds.

The next second, the black-beaked bird, unable to restrain its greed, flew down again, heading straight for the golden-scale feather in Simon's hand.

In the violent snowstorm, Simon's visual range is very small and he can only rely on his teammates to determine his position.

"Hit its eyes and blind each one." Simon quickly came up with a strategy.
