"Get out there and explore the way, and don't let me see you for an hour!" Li Yi ordered in an undeniable tone.

"Yes, sir!" Felder had a bitter face, pushed open the hatch and went out on patrol, offending the leader was destined to end badly, and the generous remuneration that Li Yi gave him every month was his lifeblood.

Alger, who was playing dominoes, smiled happily, he found these black and red dominoes from the battleship in Lázaro, and immediately liked them, he piled them up for a long time, and then pushed them, listening to the crackling sound with joy.

Li Yi was preparing his luggage, a portable waist bag, which contained a lighter powered by a fire-based spirit crystal - which could shoot flames of 1,000 degrees Celsius in extremely cold, deep water. There is also a heater powered by spirit crystals, which is a prop that maintains body temperature in the ice circle and maintains the life of the explorer. tracer bullets, alcohol cotton threads and bandages, etc., and military pickaxes and daggers pinned to the waist.

The most important thing is a few ice bear furs, the ice bear is a powerful creature on the periphery of the ice circle, covered in white long hair, most of them are the peak of the green level and the beginning of the gold level, and there are also rare gold level intermediate level, originally Lázaro bought a lot of gold level beginner ice bear skins at a high price, ready to disguise themselves as ice bears to get more gains in the ice circle. This avoids unnecessary conflicts with native creatures of the ice sphere. Now that it's all cheap, Li Yi also deliberately found a bear skin for Isabella to wear. The bearskin disguise combined with her superb illusion makes it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The ice circle is extremely unwelcome to foreign humans, those ice spirits have extremely high intelligence, knowing that humans will come to steal their children every year, train them to fight for life and death for humans, and be forcibly signed blood deeds, etc., etc., some of the explorers who are weak but want to make a windfall in the ice circle Many of them have been torn apart by the ice spirits. There are no bones left.

After two days at sea, the water gradually turned a deep blue, and from the pontoon, you could see that the sea was densely packed with diamond-shaped ice crystals, and the ice crystals mixed with the seawater, and when you looked ahead, the front of you suddenly darkened. The icebergs form an ice-blue wall, which obscures even the sunlight.

This wall of ice, which is a thousand times more magnificent than the Maginot Line, separates the inside and outside of the ice circle into two worlds, and the translucent ice peaks that make up the wall are towering into the sky, even a gold-level ethereal like Cassie Jinwu can't leap, and the cold current above can not only freeze everything instantly, but also contains a powerful tearing power, Lazaro wrote in his nautical diary that he once saw a gold-level high-level ethereal spirit trying to fly over the outer ice wall. But only halfway through the turbulence was torn into slag, the power of nature is really not to be underestimated.

At this time, the only way to do this is to dig a cave in the ice wall, and then pour fuel into the hole layer by layer, and after igniting it, the ice melts into water, and then goes inside little by little, and finally breaks through the ice wall and enters another world. The ice wall itself has strange healing powers. If you don't cross to that end in half a day, then the road behind you will be blocked. They are cooked by the heat generated by the fuel.

"It's a manual job!" Felder swung the iron pickaxe vigorously, those 10,000-year-old ice, not so easy to dig through, he could only break the gap the size of the bowl with all his strength, using an iron pickaxe made of gold-grade metal, ordinary green-grade metal could not produce a single scratch on it at all.

"Don't be lazy. Pour fuel on it! Li Yi was tightly wrapped in clothes, his hands and feet were inconvenient, he shouted orders at the top of his throat, but as soon as the words came out, they were blown away by the cold wind.

"Can this fuel really burn through the ice?" Alger asked, confused.

"Whatever, it's really not going to work, we'll find another team of explorers to blend into the ice circle." Li Yi ignited the amber-like grease. The orange-red flames suddenly soared a foot high! If it weren't for the bear skin and lynx skin on his body, Li Yi would have been scorched, and he felt a burst of stuffiness, gasping for breath and fleeing from the entrance of the cave.

"Whew! This firepower can be the same as the flames spewed out by the gold-level fire spirit, no wonder it can penetrate the ice! Felder screamed, and he stood in the ice cave and dug hard, unafraid of the flames.

The sun gradually sank into the sea, and the clouds in the sky were like a tapestry of gradual color, extending from the western horizon to the east, and the blue sky looked so high that it seemed to suck the soul of a man.

The digging work has reached the final stage, Felder raised the fire hammer and smashed the last layer of ice, and then the blizzard came from that end, and a circle of white ice was blown out of the hole entrance, Li Yi used his hand to block the rough rain like a rainstorm. Hard ice slag, crawling into the hole against the cold wind, his body was immediately covered with a layer of snowflakes, and he looked like a snowman built in winter.

"Ah, that's cool! This blizzard, blowing me so cool! Felder howled crampingly, and ran in front of him.

"Bastard, pull me up!" Li Yi was choked by the wind and snow, "Felder, you're dead!" You don't put a three-dimensional shield on me," he crawled through the snow-soaked cavern.

"Boss, didn't you say you wanted to experience the ice circle for yourself? Isn't it to be felt? Why are you afraid of wind and snow? Felder felt a sense of revenge, "I didn't mean to offend you, you said it yourself." ”

"I won't worry about you yet, and I'll put on bear skins." Li Yi glared at Felder, he wiped his goggles, there was a snow-white world in front of him, the cold wind was howling, and the flying ice and snow covered his vision, and he could only see the mountains and a few cedars not far away.

There was a sound of soots, and the "ice bears" climbed behind a leeward hill.

"Boss, what now? Shall we destroy the lair of the Ice Spirits and capture their young spirits? Felder asked.

"Don't worry, it's hard to catch dozens of high-quality young spirits, but it's worth tens of thousands of gold spirit crystals, and it's impossible to catch so many throughout the winter, unless we are extremely lucky, we have to catch mutated ones, or close to mutated young spirits, in order to sell them for a good price, otherwise we would rather not catch them." Li Yi pondered, he stared at the young spirit whose quality was up and down the mutation.

"That's very difficult, the quality of the previous generation is high, and the quality of the bred offspring can increase accordingly, if you want to get the mutant spirit, you must go deep into the ice circle to find the red-level ice spirit group. In this way, it is possible to encounter, even if you are lucky, it is even more difficult to catch it, boss, do you really want to do this? Felder asked again.

"Why are you talking so much? What else are we going to do but do this? Can you get money any other way? You eat so many spirit crystals every day, and your appetite grows. If you don't do this, you support yourself? Li Yi replied viciously.

"That's right," Felder said.

"It's really hard to adapt to this weather, it seems that my body is too weak, I have to be strong." Li Yi barely resisted the impact of the wind and snow, but he didn't feel cold because of the good warmth and the heater driven by spiritual power.

"Boss, according to the age level of human beings, you are only in your infancy, and your body is not yet mature. Excessive exercise can cause damage to the bones. Isabella suggested.

"Life is still very long, as long as I am careful, it is no problem to live to the age of twenty," Li Yi took out his telescope and looked around, he wanted to distinguish what kind of place this was, the ice circle was divided into twenty-four areas by explorers who have been exploring all year round, using A and B. C, DZ. Each area is divided according to the type of ice spirit, different types of ice spirits have different habits, explorers can make a hunting plan according to their habits, from the battleship of Lázaro found a lot of ice circle blueprints, marked with useful information, such as where there is a certain kind of ice spirit lair and so on.

"Hmm. I saw a patrolling round-horned gothalt, this is probably Area I or S, "Li Yi saw through the binoculars that a thousand meters away, there was a half-collapsed ice mound. An ice spirit with a white thread-shaped double horn, an ugly face, and eyes hidden in the folds is the type named "Roundhorned Goddarmon", "Let's get closer, this ice spirit looks very strong, and it is estimated that it has the strength of a gold-level beginner." ”

"Well, kill all its people, snatch their cubs, and burn their nests to the ground!" This vast snow-white monotonous world bores Felder's heart, and suddenly he has a goal, and he can't help but have a desire to destroy.

"Be normal, bastard!" Li Yi helped the snow goggles on his face, "The ones patrolling outside are all gold-level beginners, do you think the ones inside will be green-level?" ”

"Ahhh

"The nest of the round-horned gothalmon is generally set up at a depth of fifty meters underground, and the ice circle is actually a giant ice block frozen by seawater, fifty meters underground, or ice, it is estimated that it takes thousands of meters underground to dig out the seawater, there is no soil at all here, it is really amazing! And the legendary absolute zero, I don't know what kind of power can make all this. Li Yi thought as he cautiously approached, they were only five hundred meters away from the patrolling round-horned gottamon.

This is a limit distance, and if you go further, you may be discovered, so now there are two options in front of Li Yi, one, launch a surprise attack and kill it, and second, continue to disguise yourself as an ice bear to see if the other party shows hostility.

The relationship between the alien ice spirits on the ice field is very friendly, because the ice spirits rely on the ice spirit power from the outside world to feed themselves, and the spiritual power is endless, abundant and endless, especially on this ice field. Therefore, there is no competition, there is no motivation to fight and grab each other, and the ice fields are also vast, and naturally there is no such thing as fighting for territory.

Some Ice Explorers saw this and asked their Ice Spirits to steal the young spirits, but as soon as they got closer, they were torn to pieces by the angry wild Ice Spirits, due to the fact that the Blood Pact spirits all carried a special, mutilated aura, and the wild Ice Spirits seemed to treat them as human lackeys.

"And we are a voluntary contract partnership, there should be no problem, we will meet it." Li Yi paid attention.

The projection of Li Yi and the others appeared in the small eyes of the round-horned gottamon, and it distinguished the breath and found that the other party was a small group of ice bears, probably passing by. It looked a little anxious, kept scraping the snow with its hooves, and after a slight glance, they didn't care.

"This patrolling round-horned gothald beast looks like it has no master, is there something going on in their lair?" Isabella had some doubts, as a master of emotions and psychology, she knew as much about the inner heart of the spirit as Li Yi did about humans.

"Just check it out." Li Yi went around to the back of the ice mound and found a secret cave, and they entered it.

Walking through a winding road, an ellipsoidal underground cavity appears in front of you, the roof of the cave is smooth as a mirror, and the light from the outside can easily penetrate in, and the design is very exquisite. But what shocked them was that there wasn't a single round-horned gothalk here, it was empty!

"Strange, what about Gothamon? What about their young spirits? The young spirits are all missing, it can't be that the young spirits have been stolen, and everyone is out to find the thieves, right? Li Yi guessed.

"It must be so, what do we do now?" Isabella asked.

"Help them find it, since they can steal young spirits from such a powerful round-horned Gothalmon tribe, the other party must be a powerful explorer, we can use the power of Gothalmon to kill them, and the fisherman will benefit." Li Yi likes to deal with people the most.

"However, they will definitely stay away from here when they succeed, how can we find them?" Felder asked.

"The time when we enter the ice circle is the beginning of the breeding period of the ice spirits, and it is useless to wait for the young spirits to be born if they come early, so even if they come one step ahead of us, they will not leave for a long time, besides, as long as something happens, it will leave traces, and these traces are the basis for our search." Li Yi said as he walked to the place where the round-horned gothaltas bred their young spirits, and he found a half-human-high hole in the corner.

"These people dug a hole from the outside and stole the young spirits, but how did they know exactly where the young spirit breeding area was?" Li Yi was a little puzzled, he got into the thief hole and crawled outside.

Suddenly, there was a basin-like valley in front of me.

"The round-horned gothalmon has lost their traces here, so they have to disperse to look for it," Li Yi looked at the messy footprints on the ground, "These footprints have not been covered by ice and snow, that is to say, those people have not gone far, they should have an ethereal spirit that carried them away, but it is impossible for an ethereal spirit to fly long distances in such bad weather." ”

"But in which direction did they fly?" Felder looked at the snow and had a feeling of helplessness.

"Of course, it's to run away with the direction of the wind, in this case, the faster and farther you run, the safer," Li Yi took out a note, tore off a corner and threw it into the air, the wind blew up the confetti, "Nu, this is the direction of their escape." ”

Felder was amazed, and he left a mark for the roundhorned gothalmon to indicate the direction of their thieves.

The sky was gray, and on the snow, four explorers were walking, and the ice slag had accumulated a thick layer on their bodies, which was stirred up by the cold wind, and fell to the ground, judging by their size, three tall and strong, one petite, it seemed to be three men and one woman.

"Big brother, how do you divide the harvest this time?" The man at the back suddenly asked.

"This time, thanks to my ancient spirit tool - Gray Eye, I know the location of this rounded Gotha beast breeding area, you can only exert a little effort when digging the thief hole, and when you retreat, it is also my ethereal spirit that plays a role, this harvest, I will take seventy percent, and you will divide thirty percent." The man's voice was cold and unusual, like ice. (To be continued.) )
