Chapter 712: Blizzard and the Great Rift Valley
Receiving Zhao Dingguo's order, Skasa flapped his wings vigorously.
In the beginning, Skaza was a bit slow. When he was a little away from the ground, Skasa, who began to fly at full strength, seemed to have a rocket booster, and quickly increased his speed to 700+ in just two seconds. The force of the acceleration was so great that it almost didn't press Zhao Dingguo onto the dragon's back.
But I have to say that recovering from the pressure of acceleration, the sense of speed as if chasing the wind makes people feel like their blood is boiling.
At this moment, Zhao Dingguo was extraordinarily proud.
If you have a royal cloak of inheritance, you should be equipped with a high-level mount like the blue dragon Skasa. Compared to the dragon knight's pull, the Scout Griffin he rode before was like a world of difference between a Charlie and a Ferrari sports car. With this Skarsa Blue Dragon Mount, Zhao Dingguo no longer has to worry about other troubles caused by flying.
So, he was relieved and boldly rode the dragon and flew in the direction that the supergod user had just rushed over.
The blue dragon with a wingspan of more than twelve meters was still eye-catching enough, and the two people on the ice field who were rushing to this side easily noticed Zhao Dingguo in the air. Under the half-guarded, half-frightened gaze of the two high-level supergod users at dusk, Zhao Dingguo rode the dragon and dived low, throwing a cold ice freeze like a demonstration, and then left.
So that you want to come and pick up the bargain with bad intentions!
Seeing the two people on the ground screaming and scolding in embarrassment, Zhao Dingguo was in a happy mood. Under his control, Skasara rose in altitude and flew rapidly towards the north.
Compared to the fragile Scout Griffin, Skarsa is much more adaptable to the environment of the Arctic Ice Sheet. After all, this is its home, as long as it doesn't go straight into the ice storm. Otherwise, under any other circumstances, the Skarsa Blue Dragon will be able to stay in the air.
This made Zhao Dingguo more and more satisfied with Skasa.
However. There are too many threats and variables in the Far North Ice Sheet, and it is not possible for a single blue dragon to run amok. As Zhao Dingguo continued to fly north. The clouds in the sky grew thicker. The intense frost magic from the polar regions has completely disrupted the weather, obscuring the polar sunlight and brewing a blizzard of unprecedented scale.
The cold wind with faster and faster wind speed forced Zhao Dingguo to reduce his altitude one after another.
"It's not good!"
Zhao Dingguo looked up at the terrifying lead-gray clouds in the sky, and couldn't help frowning deeply.
In the real world, he also went to a relative's house in Jilin with his family. However, the heavy snow in the three eastern provinces at that time was nothing compared to the haze in front of them. The clouds that are getting lower and lower. and a sharp drop in temperature, giving the apocalyptic feeling that the whole world will turn into an ice cave.
Losing the direction of the polar sun in the sky, Zhao Dingguo had to temporarily slow down his flight speed.
In the vast expanse of ice fields, it is very dangerous to fly blindly without a reference. Fortunately, Zhao Dingguo was still quite clever, and with a sweep of his eyes, he noticed the big rift valley at the edge of his vision. This ice sheet rift across the Far North ice sheet stretches for thousands of miles and roughly grabs the core of the ice sheet. Occasional deviations are not too bad. Without the guidance of the sun, it is a good choice to fly in the direction of the Great Rift Valley for the time being.
Once a blizzard falls. Zhao Dingguo can also consider temporarily descending below the Great Rift Valley to escape the wind and snow.
It was undoubtedly a smart decision.
After spending a few minutes flying above the Great Rift Valley, Zhao Dingguo picked up his speed again and continued his journey. However, the further north. The more chaotic the ice elemental magic that gathered. After five minutes of further flying, the sky finally began to snow heavily. Moreover, in the case of winds gradually exceeding level eight. The snowflakes are also getting bigger. At first, it can be described as goose feathers and heavy snow, but in the end, it is simply falling one by one.
It's a real blizzard!
Even though there are orbs of the four elements around it. Helped Zhao Dingguo block the cold wind and snowflakes that rushed in his face, but the elemental ball could only protect himself. But it can't disperse the snowflakes farther away. While this blizzard seriously weakened Zhao Dingguo's vision, it also brought big trouble to the flight of the blue dragon Skasa. After holding out for less than ten minutes, Zhao Dingguo realized that he had to fly into the Great Rift Valley to temporarily avoid the blizzard.
The natural power of nature is not so easy to resist, not to mention that the blizzard here is obviously supported by the magic of the natural ice element of the polar regions, which is far more powerful than ordinary blizzards.
At this time, Zhao Dingguo had to thank himself for his wise decision.
The Great Rift Valley is at least 200 meters deep and 7 or 800 meters wide, and in some places it is open enough to be a kilometer or two wide. Such a super rift valley not only effectively shelters the blizzard on the ice sheet, but also makes the ecological environment in the rift valley unique and becomes another world. At the very least, Zhao Dingguo saw a lot of bryophytes that could no longer be seen on the glacier here.
Of course, it's more about the unique monsters that live here.
No one knows how these monsters survive in such an environment. However, Zhao Dingguo knew very well that if he wanted to pass through the Great Rift Valley, he had to break through the obstruction of these demonic beasts. Although in most cases, he can rely on the blue dragon Skasa to put the height of about 100 meters and sweep through the air. However, even the Blue Dragon will encounter some special circumstances and have to descend to the ground, and the maximum flight time of the Blue Dragon is only six hours!
A six-hour flight is long enough compared to scouting griffins, but it's still time-bound.
Seeing that the sky above the Great Rift Valley was overcast and the blizzard had not weakened in the slightest, Zhao Dingguo had to find a place to make a forced landing and temporarily put away Skasa. Generally speaking, according to the rule that the recovery time is the same as the flight time, Zhao Dingguo will have to wait at least six hours before the maximum flight time can return to the full blue dragon. If you interrupt it in the middle, it can be used temporarily, but it will prolong the recovery process a lot.
For now, we can only move forward on foot.
As a result, Zhao Dingguo's northern progress slowed down again.
There are many monsters in the Great Rift Valley, and the most common ones are many bear monster warriors, ice crystal puppets, ice ghosts, and even many that Zhao Dingguo can't name. However, these monsters have one unifying characteristic, and that is that they are powerful. He had only been walking for less than two minutes when he encountered the Arctic Ursa Bear, which is common among Dota junglers.
However, both are Ursa Bear warriors, and their strength is also high and low.
Compared with the common copycats on the main plane that can only strike with one thunderbolt, the genuine Arctic Ursa Bear Warrior in the Great Rift Valley of the Arctic Ice Fields has at least a high-level Dusk. In addition to Thunder Strike, which is a common ability, it also has a high chance of inflicting Bleeding on its attacks. It should be noted that this bleeding effect ignores magic immunity, and even the damage absorption of the Ode to Earth is useless, and only the highest priority real damage reduction can be effective.
After Zhao Dingguo was accidentally hit twice, he immediately made a decision that he must not let this bear monster get close.
As monsters accustomed to the Arctic Ice Field, other magical beasts can more or less use ice-based magic. Of course, this Arctic Ursa Bear warrior can't fall for granted. After being repeatedly flown by Zhao Dingguo with skills such as rapid cooling and super shock sonic waves, this thing stomped his foot and summoned a skill similar to the Giant Fang Sea Min's Ice Seal. The ball it summons can continuously slow nearby enemies and increase its own armor.
Zhao Dingguo summoned the lava spirits and made them attack six or seven times in succession, which shattered the ice ball.
Without the disgusting ice hockey, the Ursa Bear Warrior would be helpless against Zhao Dingguo. As long as he is careful not to be slowed down by a thunderous blow, Zhao Dingguo can take it in circles as he pleases, and then kill it. Although its blood volume is a little thick, it is almost comparable to some crispy elite monsters, but in front of Zhao Dingguo, who is full of firepower, it can only delay a little more.
In the next hurry, Zhao Dingguo was also entangled by these monsters.
Although Zhao Dingguo consciously avoided some monsters with ghost walking, not all monsters can be deceived by stealth. For example, the monsters of the Ice Crystal Puppet series, they are born with extremely high magic resistance, and they have their own anti-stealth ability. Unless you remain in deep stealth the whole time, you can't hide them. However, the warning range of this monster is still very large.
After trying twice and finding that it didn't work, Zhao Dingguo could only choose to kill by force.
Compared to the flying Blue Dragon Skasa, the Ice Golem is meatier, but it is actually less threatening. Zhao Dingguo didn't use any props this time, and he completed the kill. It's a pity that nothing fell out in the end, but wasted a lot of Zhao Dingguo's time.
One delay was nothing, when Zhao Dingguo delayed a few more times in the Great Rift Valley, and the blizzard on the surface ice sheet did not attenuate in the slightest, Zhao Dingguo knew that trouble was coming.
In such a blizzard, as long as they are not stupid, almost no one will choose to venture forward. It can be expected that unless there are those tendons, or those that have deviated far away, most supergod users will choose to enter the Great Rift Valley to avoid it temporarily, just like him. In this way, there will be very few forks in the road, and the Great Rift Valley, which almost crosses the Arctic Ice Sheet, will become a concentration of supergod users.
Don't forget, it's not just Zhao Dingguo and their wave that are advancing on the Arctic Ice Field.
In fact, since the polar sun stabilized three days ago, the ice fields north of Northrend have completely entered the midsummer period, and the top supergod users of various hero bloodlines have begun to gather here one after another under the guidance of their mentors. Zhao Dingguo, because his speed was fast enough, had already caught up with the masters who had entered the ice field at the same time a day ago.
Originally, those masters were also distributed throughout the ice field, so Zhao Dingguo hadn't met them before.
But now, the blizzard not only affected Zhao Dingguo and them, but also forced the masters who entered before to enter the Great Rift Valley together. In this way, the shadows of supergod users began to appear in front of Zhao Dingguo one after another. And behind him, due to the delay in killing monsters for a while, there are also masters who have begun to catch up one after another.
There are people in front and back, which means trouble is not far away! (To be continued.) )
