Chapter 32: Thule
Luyao tried to squeeze in for a long time, but she still couldn't get up. She was even pushed by a group of female players.
With a plop.
As the players pushed and shoved her, she fell right in front of Han Xing, her hair a mess.
She had never thought that she would see Star Rebel in such a sorry state. At this moment, her aggrieved eyes were full of tears.
Han Xing looked at Luyao, who was lying at his feet, and his heart turned cold.
However, he still reached out and pulled her up. He asked, "Are you okay?"
Luyao felt touched and embarrassed at the same time. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine."
However, before she could say another word, she saw Star Rebel hurriedly walk into the teleportation portal.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in any of you. If I want to add you as a friend, I'll take the initiative."
After saying this, his entire figure disappeared on the spot.
Luyao silently looked at the departing Star Rebel, feeling even more upset inwardly.
She would not remember herself at all if she were him, since she fell in front of Star Rebel in such a pitiful manner today.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Two lines of tears actually slowly fell from her eyes.
The teleportation portal was similar to the magic of the space jump.
Han Xing felt the world spinning as soon as he stepped in, and his body was still not used to it when he landed.
After he walked out, he only felt a cold wind.
The entire Thule was covered in endless snowy mountains. It was boundless.
The snow was two to three meters deep, but it was extremely solid.
He looked around and did not find any traces of giant beasts.
That was strange.
The land of Thule was rich in Gilded Beasts, and they would also come out to look for food at this time. How could there be no traces of them?
Just as he was looking around, a huge figure suddenly appeared behind him.
"Lightning steps!"
Han Xing felt something was wrong. He growled and appeared ten meters away in an instant.
What was behind him just now was a huge beast that was five meters tall.
The fur all over its body flickered with flames.
Under the illumination of the flames, the snow under the behemoth's feet could not bear the burden and had already begun to melt.
Han Xing took a quick glance at its stomach. No wonder there were no other Gilded Beasts around. It was because the mother beast was pregnant.
This was also the unique reproduction method of the Gilded Beasts.
As long as the mother beast was pregnant, all the hunting territory around would be left to the mother beast.
This way, there would be enough food for the mother beast to raise the little beast.
The male beasts would go to other places to hunt, and even pregnant female beasts could not enter this territory directly.
A pregnant female beast's physical strength would be in an explosive state, and its ferocity would be completely stimulated.
This was also to better protect the little beast in its belly.
Now that this human had dared to invade its territory, the mother beast was instantly enraged.
"Awuu!"
It let out a howl, and the surrounding area began to shake.
The snow on the cliff was falling like a waterfall, and Han Xing was not afraid of it at all.
"Lightning ball!"
His expression turned serious, and ten lightning balls appeared in his hand. These lightning balls were still condensing.
Very quickly, the intense lightning caused Han Xing's eyes and hair to be filled with sparks.
The white rays of light that shot out in all directions were even more eye-catching in the reflection of the snow.
The mother beast wasn't afraid at all, and its eyes were filled with ferocity.
"Roar!"
It landed on all fours and pounced on Han Xing.
Han Xing waved his finger and dodged the attack with his agile body.
"Lightning arr-..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a few ice spells suddenly appeared in the sky.
Kacha! Kacha!
A white ray of light shone on the pregnant beast, instantly turning it into an ice sculpture.
Han Xing cursed in his heart and prepared to retreat.
However, he was too close to the mother beast, and the light completely covered him.
He could feel the coldness coming from all directions.
In a second, his entire body was surrounded by a layer of ice.
The amazing thing was that the chill didn't advance any further and only trapped him in the ice.
What was going on?
"Lightning steps!"
Han Xing activated his skill!
The next moment, he was still trapped in the same place.
He was shocked. A skill like lightning steps could break away from the current restraints, so it was impossible for him to be trapped in place.
"You don't have to try anymore."
A cold female voice came from above.
This woman was extremely beautiful, and every strand of her hair was carved out of ice. Even her skin was like snow with texture, and it was a faint ice blue.
The clothes she was wearing were carved out of ice, and her beauty carried a sense of unapproachable nobility.
Han Xing's breath caught in his throat when he saw her exquisite face.
He had been in the Second World for so long, but he had never seen anyone as beautiful as this woman.
She was like a fairy who had walked out of the snow, but also like a demoness transformed from ice and snow.
With a gentle wave of her slender white fingers, the ice that trapped the mother beast instantly disintegrated.
When the mother beast saw her, it was as if it had seen a powerful enemy and ran away while sobbing.
"Strange human, why have you come here?"
Hearing her cold tone, Han Xing revealed the purpose of his visit.
"I'm here to retrieve the fur of the Gilded Beast."
The mysterious woman's blue eyes had a hint of understanding.
"I am the ice spirit that guards Thule."
She landed on the ground and looked at Han Xing with a little more curiosity.
The special ice that trapped Han Xing slowly melted under her gaze.
She drew an unknown symbol in the air with her finger, and snowflakes fell down with the dance of her fingers.
Soon, the symbol ended.
Puchi.
A golden spark appeared, and a cluster of pure white hair fell from the spark. The hair was still burning.
This was actually the fur of the Gilded Beast.
"I can give you this."
The ice spirit's voice was as cold as ever. Han Xing nodded, he had no intention of snatching it from her.
The level indicated above the ice spirit was level 100!
He had heard of this NPC before, but this was the first time he had seen her.
"Do you need me to do anything for you?"
As soon as Han Xing finished asking, the ice spirit pointed at the endless snow mountain range.
"I need you to go to the southernmost tip of the snow mountain and pick some flowers for me."
"If you can do it, I will give you the fur of the Gilded Beast."
"If you fail, I will banish you from Thule."
A smile appeared on Han Xing's face. Wasn't this the same as accepting an NPC mission?
However, this NPC's style of doing things was somewhat different from the others.
Most NPCs would give players some protection, so the mission would not be too difficult.
Thinking of this, he did not refuse. He replied, "Sure, is there anything else you want?"
