Chapter 276: Polar Journey
The night is dark, like ink splashed on the endless sky, and the stars are like diamonds scattered randomly into the dark ocean, creating a picture of a galaxy that is completely different from usual.
The night sky in the Far North is even more mysterious. The occasional stream of cool green light is like a streamer crossing the sky, creating a unique dreamy scene in this world of ice and snow.
Deep in this vast snowfield, in a temporary camp half-hidden under the snow, Yang Yuning, who had not been seen for a long time, was busy making a fire to keep warm.
She skillfully used the soul guide, and under the influence of her soul power, a flame instantly shot out from the wick of the fuel tank, filling the originally cold room with warmth in an instant.
The light blue flame gently licked the bottom of the pan, gradually melting the frost crystals attached to it and restoring the pan's proper luster.
Yang Yuning unwrapped a piece of white meat tightly wrapped in linen and gently wiped it on the surface of the iron pot. In an instant, the mellow aroma of oil filled the small tent.
Then, she took out a piece of coldly glowing animal meat from the backpack on her back. The meat was plump and she cut it into neat steaks about two fingers thick without hesitation.
I saw her lightly sprinkling a layer of salt crystals and fine spice powder, and then pressing the oil-rich lean pork steak on the iron pot that was already smoking.
Accompanied by a loud "sizzling" sound, the rich aroma of meat spreads out as the surface of the steak is quickly charred, making people salivate.
In less than ten minutes, Yang Yuning relied on her skillful cooking skills to prepare an extremely tempting polar beast meat set meal.
Yang Yuning opened her red lips slightly and took a bite of the carefully cut piece of animal meat. Immediately, the full juice burst in her mouth, bringing an unparalleled taste enjoyment.
The texture of this animal meat is so delicate that it almost melts in your mouth. The oil is mellow and fragrant, accompanied by the sweet meaty aroma and the subtle blend of spices. It is like a symphony playing in the mouth, lingering with lingering aftertaste.
She closed her eyes in intoxication, her bluish eyelashes trembling slightly in satisfaction, as if she was also savoring this rare delicacy.
On this extremely cold night, such a high-calorie meal full of burnt aroma and rich taste is undoubtedly a great comfort and energy supplement for the body and mind.
After the hearty meal was over, Yang Yuning was immersed in the warm feeling of satiety, and sleepiness began to creep into her heart.
She recalled the scenes she had experienced since arriving in this polar region.
Ever since Mu Zhe taught her how to use ice runes and space teleportation, she has devoted herself to the research of these mysterious knowledge.
Use your body's keen perception of spiritual power to gradually explore the possibilities of rune arrangement and combination and the mystery of the use of space soul skills.
Through unremitting efforts and Wei Dao's assistance, Yang Yuning gradually mastered the skills of using runes.
However, when she reached a certain level, she also encountered the same problems that Mu Zhe once faced:
The power caused by the six runes displayed by Mu Zhe was as powerful as destroying the world, but her attempts to reproduce this scene failed repeatedly.
This is not only due to the gap in her soul control and spiritual power, but also the gap in the level of law control - this is the fundamental difference between her and Mu Zhe, the controller of law and authority.
When Yang Yuning tried to simplify the rune structure, she encountered new problems:
The entire rune system seems to be missing one-third of the key content, making it impossible to complete the simplified compilation process.
The intuition from deep inside her heart told her that only in this far north could it be possible to find and breed the three missing ice runes to fill the gaps in this rune system.
Therefore, after being fully prepared, Yang Yuning resolutely embarked on a journey of exploration northward.
She started from the Silvis Province and followed the difficult and dangerous route all the way to the last stop on the border of the Far North - Dragon City.
This thousand-mile journey not only sharpened her willpower, but also greatly enriched her knowledge and experience.
As the trip progressed, Yang Yuning became more and more proficient in spatial movement skills. The practice along the way made her more confident and calm when facing future challenges.
With the help of the auxiliary positioning function of the Blue Silver Grass Network and her extraordinary acuity in spatial perception, by the end of the journey, Yang Yuning was able to easily travel hundreds of miles in an instant and achieve large-scale spatial movement.
However, when she really stepped into the vast, cold and windy Far North wilderness, she encountered an unexpected problem:
The Blue Silver Grass Network, the foundation that supports space movement technology, almost does not exist in this harsh environment.
The aura of cold and death is so strong that even the tenacious and widely spreading Bluesilver Grass cannot form a lush population on such land, thus greatly limiting the ability to rely on the Bluesilver Grass network for positioning and transmission.
Facing the new dilemma, Yang Yuning had to find other ways to adapt to this unknown land and continue to search for the missing runes.
In this desolate and mysterious land of the far north, Yang Yuning, the proud daughter of the academy, experienced the transformation from a greenhouse flower to an independent survivor.
She not only learned hunting and wilderness survival skills, how to protect herself from the cold and dangerous creatures, but also mastered how to use ice, snow and the surrounding environment to build a warm temporary shelter.
In this uninhabited wilderness, Yang Yuning unexpectedly discovered that the lifespan of creatures here was far beyond common sense. Perhaps it was the special effect of the law of ice that allowed them to survive for a long time.
In the soul power world, a long life means being able to accumulate more abundant energy and have a deeper understanding of the law.
Therefore, compared with the opponents she had encountered in the Soul Hunting Forest, the soul beasts on this land have reached an unimaginable level of strength.
However, there are opportunities in adversity. In this extremely cold environment, Yang Yuning's soul power training speed unexpectedly accelerated, as if her body was born to adapt to such a cold place.
At the same time, she also gained a new understanding of those mysterious runes during the exploration process.
After witnessing the horrific battle scenes of those powerful soul beasts fighting for territory - whether it was the fierce cold wind sweeping the world or the huge ice cone piercing the sky, she felt a shock in the depths of her soul.
While these soul beasts were performing amazing soul skills, Yang Yuning noticed that the rune patterns flashing with strange light were completely different from the six that Professor Muzhe gave her.
This means that in this far north, there are three other types of ice runes that have never been encountered.
With a deeper understanding of this land, the opportunity to collect all nine runes seems to be quietly approaching Yang Yuning. She knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As she anticipated, the key to unlocking the mystery of the runes is hidden in this world covered with ice and snow.
