Chapter 990: Fierce! Ice Queen

……

The next day.

This is a magnificent altar.

The altar is made entirely of crystal-clear jade, and each piece of building material is as translucent as jade glass.

The entire altar seems to be nurtured in an endless chill. Being in it is like being in an endless winter.

However, winter is not the nemesis of life.

In the cracks of the ice-crystal walls, some ice-related plant life grows, including vines and flowers. It's just that their colors and shapes are like strings of beautiful and extremely pure ice.

On the top of the altar stands a statue of a goddess that is more than 20 meters high, magnificent, elegant and charming. She holds a staff in one hand and an ice shield in the other. She is slender and has long ice-crystal white hair. Especially her eyes, which are gorgeous sapphire blue, are breathtaking.

At this time, only Wang Yan was bold enough to secretly glance at the "Winter Goddess" statue, and suddenly found that her appearance was slightly similar to Sister Nanlian. He couldn't help but speculate even more, could it be that Sister Nanlian's bloodline was really related to the Winter Goddess?

Such a possibility is not impossible.

As Sister Nanlian grows up, her potential in the ice system is becoming more and more unfathomable. Now, there is no suspense that she has grown to S-level. Even if she is promoted to a demigod, there is hope.

She herself has not practiced any special skills, and her achievements are mostly due to her bloodline.

Some creatures with high genetic levels do not use skills and secrets to pass on their abilities. Instead, they evolve their abilities into instincts, and then store them in the gene chain of their bloodline and pass them on through genes.

After meeting certain conditions, they will continuously open the practice method of bloodline inheritance, as well as innate spell abilities, etc.

This inheritance method that relies on bloodline is very effective and more private than inheritance methods such as secret skills and skills.

However, the blood inheritance method is not without flaws. First, it cannot be passed on to non-bloodline gene inheritors, but can only be passed on within the same bloodline. Second, once hybridization occurs, the bloodline genes will continue to be diluted, and the degree of inheritance will be incomplete or even disappear.

The bloodline genes of today's human beings have a very complex source, and 95% of them are long dormant genes. Perhaps someone's genes happened to awaken a gene fragment from hundreds of thousands of years ago, which happened to be a gene fragment containing the flame talent spell.

Then, this person will become a fire-type talent.

However, depending on the level and completeness of that part of the gene of this person. His flame ability and future growth are limited. Unless he practices some secret techniques, his future achievements will be limited by his bloodline.

Sister Nanlian's ability to grow to this level is inseparable from her own efforts and is also related to her bloodline talent.

At this time,

The shaman priest Salar leaned on a cane and chanted the ancient sacrificial text in the most pious way. His voice was ups and downs, generous and passionate.

Others, such as the tribe leader, could only stand respectfully and piously, and pray to the legendary winter goddess in their inner whispers. Although he had lived for more than a hundred years and participated in sacrifices many times, he had never received a response from the "winter goddess".

The rest of the young generation, such as Berissa, Anatoly and other tribal elites, lined up in order according to their status and strength, half-knelt on their knees, closed their eyes and prayed secretly, and paid the highest respect to the ice and snow goddess.

As for Wang Yan, Nan Lian, and the red tank who came to play together, their attitude was much more relaxed, just pretending to be quiet.

This situation is also normal. After all, Wang Yan and others are not members of the tribe, and they have not been instilled with the concept of being servants of the hunting and winter goddess since childhood.

The whole sacrificial process lasted for more than half an hour.

The altar, under a mysterious force, slowly opened to both sides, revealing a circular pool of water in the middle. The pool was only about ten meters in diameter, the water was extremely clear, and there was a faint mist.

As soon as the pool appeared, Anatoly and his two followers' eyes lit up, staring greedily at the cold pool. They looked like a strong man who had been thirsty for many years and saw a beautiful woman with a charming figure.

In fact, even the calm and proud Bo Lisa, a pair of cold and beautiful eyes burst into excitement, and her breathing became rapid.

"Brother, what is the origin of the cold pool? Why are you all so excited as if you saw braised pork?" Wang Yan couldn't help but whisper to the red tank. Although it was said before that to enter the temple, you must get the approval of the winter goddess.

But Wang Yan was still very vague about the basic situation of the cold pool.

"Red braised pork?" Red Tank had obviously tasted the red braised pork of China. Hearing this, he swallowed his saliva instinctively and shook his head, saying, "Brother, you don't know. Although the red braised pork is good, it is still far inferior to this cold pond. In fact, it is not filled with water, but the product of highly concentrated natural ice and snow elements. Although it is called 'ice element water', it is definitely not water."

Ice element water?

Wang Yan was also slightly moved. This is an extremely rare treasure. I heard that it is also produced in nature, but the quantity is very rare and the price is extremely expensive. Each small bottle is a sky-high price.

But now this whole pond, how much is it worth?

Even though Wang Yan was rich, he was shocked by this big deal. Could it be that there was really a god behind this tribe? If not a god, who could have such a grand deal?

Seeing Wang Yan's interest, Bo Lisa took the initiative to explain: "This ice and snow elemental pool is pregnant with a hint of the god of winter and hunting, and can draw ice elemental water from the heaven and earth all year round and store it. Any tribal disciple who can rank among the top in the hunting sacrifice is qualified to enter the pool for baptism. However, in order to avoid excessive consumption of ice elemental water, the altar will only be opened once every ten years."

"Awesome, awesome." Wang Yan replied in a voice transmission, "So much ice elemental water, even I am tempted."

"Son of Fire, don't mess around." Bo Lisa immediately became nervous, "There are gods watching here." She also knew that although the Son of Fire is powerful, he is very friendly to his friends.

But in fact, the Son of Fire has always had a reputation as a pitfall. There are rumors that the Son of Flame has screwed the Holy See of Light in the Holy Land. He has also caused a lot of trouble in the Magic Academy.

If he really covets the ice water, who knows what kind of outrageous things he will do?

"Don't worry, we are friendly partners." Wang Yan was sweating and hurriedly replied, "I am a body of flame and have no interest in ice elements. I am satisfied to let Sister Nanlian benefit from it." He was speechless. It seemed that some of his "bad reputation" had spread. Bai Lisha even treated him as a robber.

Even so, Berissa still stared at Wang Yan with some vigilance, "It's good that you understand. As for Nanlian, don't worry. She is qualified to enter the Ice and Snow Elemental Pool for baptism. As for how much she can achieve in the end, it depends on herself."

While speaking, the high priest Salar over there has begun to announce that the outstanding young people of the tribe will enter for baptism. He said: "By the grace of the God of Winter and Hunting, all young people present are qualified to enter the Ice and Snow Elemental Pool for baptism once."

"Wow~"

The young people were all overjoyed. Years of hard work have finally paid off. Throughout the tribe's generations, most of the strong men who can eventually break through to the legendary level have been baptized in the Ice and Snow Elemental Pool.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all young people who are baptized will definitely break through to the legendary level in the future. But those who are baptized have a much higher chance of success than those who are not baptized.

Such an opportunity can only be had once in a lifetime.

High priest Salar said: "According to the tribal rules, Berissa will go in for baptism first. Do you have any opinions?"

In the Ice and Snow Elemental Pool, the amount of elemental water is very abundant. Throughout the ages, the most that was absorbed was only half. Therefore, there is not much difference between the first and the last.

Berissa is indeed qualified to enter first, so naturally no one will compete with her.

But Berissa said: "Ice Queen Nanlian is our distinguished guest, and this time she won the title of God of Hunting, let her go first."

Chief Cole also chimed in: "Not bad, not bad, our tribe has always been hospitable. Although there will be no filth in the Ice and Snow Elemental Pond, we still have to respect our guests."

Cole is the chief and a legendary strongman. Naturally, no one will refute what he said.

After Nanlian said a few humble words, she couldn't refuse, so she went to the cold pond first.

"Sister Nanlian!" Wang Yan said in a voice transmission, "Come on, try to absorb all the ice and snow elemental water."

Nanlian smiled and glared at Wang Yan unhappily. Then, she was surrounded by ice mist, blocking everyone's sight and mental power, and quietly plunged into the cold pond.

This greatly disappointed the young tribe members who wanted to feast their eyes.

Unknowingly, Nan Lian had been in for more than 20 minutes, but she only saw the boiling ice fog above the cold pond, and she still didn't come out.

"Berissa, is this elemental baptism safe? Will there be any problems?" Wang Yan asked with a little worry.

"Son of Fire, don't worry." Berissa comforted, "The longer the time, the stronger Nan Lian's attainments in the law of ice. Generally speaking, those who exceed 20 minutes are genius-level. In history, the longest one reached 39 minutes, and the final achievement was only a hair's breadth away from the demigod."

In this way, Wang Yan was relieved.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was 30 minutes. The people around began to get uneasy, especially Anatoly and others who had been quite hostile before, with more vigilance and envy in their eyes.

Soon, the time reached 38 minutes.

Now, even the clan leader Cole was not calm: "Amazing, amazing, I only had 28 minutes back then! Nanlian has surpassed me by 10 minutes, her future is limitless."
