Chapter 1467 The Horror of the Eternal Night Icefield!

Mixed with blizzard, the gangster roared for a whole day and night before gradually subsiding.

When the last ray of wind went away like a well-fed dragon, the whole world was completely changed.

Before the blizzard swept through, although this was a desolate and barren land, the gray color of the rocks could still be seen on the land, and occasionally some sparse yellow-brown grasslands could be seen, as well as several nearly dry rivers meandering flow past.

At this moment, the sky and the earth are completely covered in silver. Looking around, the snow field extends from people's feet to the horizon, as if it is vertically upwards, freezing the sky, and the rolling mountains have also become crystal clear. Bingfeng condensed into a white world.

It should be noon when the sun is scorching, but the sun is struggling half-deadly on the horizon. The only faint light is just to paint a dim orange-red layer on the horizon. In most places, the sky seems to be frozen The eyeballs of the dead fish are confused and chaotic.

Here is the true appearance of the Far North Eternal Night State!

On countless maps of the past dynasties, this terrifying region that is frozen all year round and where not a single blade of grass grows is called the "Eternal Night Ice Field", and it is a forbidden area for most of life!

Although the blizzard has gone away, the sudden drop in temperature has not risen. Li Yao secretly measured it with the thermometer of Star Federation, and found that even at "noon", the average temperature was fifty or sixty degrees below zero!

And this is only the periphery or even the edge of the Eternal Night Ice Field, and it is far from reaching the location of the Immortal Palace. It can be predicted that the further north you go, the lower the temperature will be.

Such extreme low temperature cannot be described by the words "drops turn into ice". Every time people exhale, it is like a small cloud of ice mist, which then covers their face, body, hair and beard. Condensed into an ice shell.

The ancient holy world is not as developed as the federation and empire mustard seed combat uniforms with the function of keeping warm and cold. Everyone can only wear thick and clumsy cotton robes. A kind of talisman.

Ordinary cotton robes would freeze into ice cubes within a day and night if placed in such an environment!

Even if he wraps himself in three layers and outer layers like a zongzi, the cold wind of the Eternal Night Ice Field still seeps in pervasively, irritating the explorer's flesh, tendons and bone marrow all the time. Some cultivators have to turn on psionic shields or magic weapons to protect against the cold around the clock. As a result, the consumption of psionic energy and spar is greatly increased.

In addition, there is another trouble, that is, most of the magic weapons do not work well at the extreme low temperature, the wear rate and spar consumption increase, but the use efficiency is greatly reduced.

In the environment of minus fifty or sixty degrees, a layer of frost has condensed on the uneven and exquisite lines on the magic weapon. The strength of flying swords and knives is greatly reduced. Items are terribly troublesome.

Magic weapons such as flying swords and knives can be solved by forcing them into the Qiankun Ring.

But the floating formation, power formation, defensive formation and warming formation on the psychic airship had to be exposed to the cold air.

Not only did the spar consumed nearly double, but the flying speed also dropped by about two-thirds. The originally fast-moving exploration fleet has now become an army of tortoises connected end to end, struggling in the frost hell.

Fortunately, before they started exploring, they had already anticipated the problems that would arise today.

In addition to elite soldiers and strong generals, the thirty large ships mainly carry spars and various supplies, and each cultivator is equipped with at least two universe rings, which are all stuffed to the brim.

Naturally, the Qiankun ring technology in the ancient holy world will not be more developed than that in the Tianyuan world.

Most of the middle and low-level cultivators here use storage magic weapons such as Qiankun Ring and Qiankun Bag. The storage space is equivalent to a backpack. That is to say, in addition to the storage space in the cabin, each person can carry two extra bags. A lifesaver for a big backpack, that's all.

Now, they still have twenty-six psychic airships. In addition to the wind masters who control the airships, there are also nine hundred and seventy-seven masters from the "Fire Phoenix Camp" and other Imperial Guards, from the "Six Great Factions" There are 1,026 practitioners.

"Master Vulture, please!"

On the deck of the first five-fanged ship, several imperial guards and practitioners respectfully invited Li Yao to a strange magic weapon.

It was as if dozens of large and small copper rings were nested together, performing dazzling rotations.

And on the track of each copper ring, there are countless shiny silver beads rolling and colliding, making chaotic noises.

This is called the "Huntian Magnetometer", and it is a magic weapon used by the natives of the ancient holy world to determine their orientation when they travel long distances.

In the ancient holy world, measuring the precise coordinates of oneself has always been an extremely headache.

There are not hundreds of satellites in the synchronous orbit of the ancient holy world to form a network. If you go to the sea or barren land where you can't distinguish east, west, north, south, how exactly do you know exactly where you are?

In the outside world, in the early days of other Guxiu worlds, various astronomical magic weapons for observing stars were invented, such as "stargazing disk", "nine heaven instrument", etc., through a series of complex transformations through changes in the relative positions of stars, To know your latitude and longitude.

The sorrow of the ancient holy world is that the "stars" here are not stars with relatively fixed orbits in the sea of ​​stars, but the glistening remains of the prehistoric war that are full of radiation near the ancient holy world.

The wreckage of these wars is torn apart by the gravitational pull of stars, planets, and satellites, and occasionally collides with each other. Their orientation and trajectory are completely chaotic, and there is no reference value at all.

Therefore, it was not long ago that the ancient holy world invented the magic weapon of measuring the strength of the magnetic field to determine one's specific orientation, and also invented the concept of "latitude and longitude".

However, the magnetic field strength is a rather vague concept, which will be interfered by many factors, so the accuracy of this positioning method is not high, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Li Yao had already drawn a few rough maps of the Asgard's location from memory, and it really can only be said to be "roughly".

And several cultivators from the royal "Yutianjian" who specialize in "astronomy and geography" turned the handles on both sides of the "Huntian Magnetograph" in a "squeaky" manner, so that the nested copper rings showed different appearances. The angle of inclination, the silver ball on it kept bumping back and forth, and the few people buried their heads together and pinched their fingers to calculate something, and finally came up with their current position.

Connecting the coordinates of this place and the coordinates of Asgard into a line will become their route.

The same work is repeated three times a day, constantly adjusting the course.

Sometimes there may even be disturbances in the magnetic field, positioning errors, and as a result, you have to go back.

But overall, after going through a series of arduous journeys, they are still getting closer to Asgard Palace day by day.

The world has always been a vast ice field, except for the white earth and gray sky, there is no third color at all, and the depressing environment almost drives people crazy.

Fortunately, they are all cultivators with firm Dao hearts. They have practiced in seclusion for a year and a half in the past, so they barely survived.

On the fourth day after entering the Eternal Night Icefield, they discovered something that did not belong here for the first time.

It was the wreckage of a psychic flying boat that was smashed by the strong wind, and it was scattered on the ice sheet, almost completely covered by ice and snow, only a few bare masts were still exposed on the ice sheet.

In the wrecked psychic airship, there may be crystals and supplies that have not been exhausted, so naturally they will not be let go.

It took them half a day to dig out all the wreckage of the spaceship, but the result was somewhat unexpected.

It wasn't a flying boat, but a small fleet of three flying boats, and it didn't crash a long time ago, but it crashed only two days ago.

Although none of the three flying boats raised their flags, Qi Zhongdao and the others recognized many frozen practitioners.

"It's the Longhai Sect, Qishan Sect, Jingtian Sect and other seven or eight sects!"

Qi Zhongdao's face was very ugly.

One of the conditions for the six major sects to be able to participate in this operation is that they must deal with the turmoil of the other small and medium sects so that they do not disturb the overall situation.

Li Yao didn't know how the six major sects reached an agreement with the small and medium sects, but now it seems that the Jindan and Yuanying of the small and medium sects probably didn't intend to keep their promises at all, and even formed a speed Faster fleet, venture deep into the Eternal Night Icefield, if you want to get there first, discover the "Xiangong" first!

"It's really asking for death!"

Qi Zhongdao said coldly, "Even the six major factions and the imperial court, as well as the best psionic flying boats and the best wind warriors in the entire ancient holy world, must be careful and step by step!"

"With a few broken ships and such a small manpower, these guys don't even have enough crystals and supplies, and they don't even know if they are prepared for the 'Huntian Magnetic Instrument', so they want to forcefully break into the Eternal Night Ice Field and discover the Immortal Palace first?"

"Heaven's evil is forgivable, but self-inflicted evil cannot live!"

Not far from the wreckage of the crashed psychic airship, they found the body of an old Nascent Soul monster.

This person from the Longhai sect was considered a famous figure in the cultivation world in the past, but he died in an incomparably miserable way, as if he had been sucked dry of his body's blood, dying like a skeleton.

According to the analysis of Qi Zhongdao and Master Kuchan, he should have escaped alone after the psychic flying boat encountered the strong wind and smashed into each other. He tried his best to fly out of the dangerous place, but was unfortunately involved in the strong wind The swirling current can only continuously stimulate the spiritual energy in the body to counteract the power of heaven and earth, and finally dies from exhaustion.
