The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 477 Walking on Ice and Snow

The blizzard on the island of the end arrived as promised at sunset.

call!

Qin Ran heaved a sigh of relief and opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly.

"What? Didn't go well?"

Shi Qi, who was baking bread on the campfire, opened his mouth and asked.

Shi Qi had a rough guess as to what Qin Ran was doing.

After all, he'd seen Nikkire do the same thing.

"Um!"

"It's more difficult than I expected!"

Qin Ran nodded without hiding anything, and took the slice of bread that Shi Qi handed over.

This is the third day of his return to the Island of the End. Compared with the first three days, he has easily saved nearly 90,000 points.

This time, Qin Ran got nothing.

The island of the end still affects his desire.

Every time he was facing these desires squarely, but it was useless.

[Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique] There was no response at all.

Even if he didn't stop the breathing pattern recorded in his mind for a moment, he could only feel the warm current in his body slowly flowing, without the slightest surge when he was promoted.

"Is it the bottleneck?"

Qin Ran was talking to himself.

The brows frowned even tighter.

Qin Ran was not sure whether his statement was correct.

But he is very clear that if he does not break through this situation, then he will gain nothing.

only……

How to break through?

In the past three days, Qin Ran asked himself more than once.

But there is no answer.

Although he has all the knowledge of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique], none of this knowledge is to explain the situation he encountered in front of him.

In fact, even if Gong Lansen came in person, he would probably be helpless about the situation in front of him.

You know, these are two different worlds.

The nature and system of power have changed slightly with the environment.

The simplest example is: the island of the end.

If there was a similar environment in the dungeon world of [The Unreliable Detective], the Church of Dawn would not collapse and disintegrate so quickly no matter how corrupt it was.

Without it, it is only because the island of the end can quickly create a group of powerful dawn knights.

Even, if this is an extension, whether gunpowder weapons can rise is another matter.

"The island of the end, the island of the end..."

Qin Ran muttered in a low voice.

Then, Qin Ran suddenly thought of something, stopped chewing,

"Have you found anything?"

Shi Qi asked.

"It's just some unfamiliar guesses..."

"Shi Qi, I need to go outside and experience it for myself!"

Qin Ran said so.

"Outside?"

"It's a blizzard right now, and you'll..."

Shi Qi subconsciously dissuaded Qin Ran, but stopped in the middle of his words.

Ordinary people may die in the face of such weather.

But Kieran definitely won't!

"be careful!"

The final persuasion turned into an exhortation.

"knew."

Qin Ran nodded, put his backpack on his back, and opened the door.

Woo!

The piercing cold wind blew straight in, and the flames in the firepit were instantly suppressed and swayed back and forth, as if they would go out at any moment.

Qin Ran waved at Shi Qi again.

The whole person walked out of the room, closed the door, and quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

...

The wind is like a knife.

Snow is like a sword.

The knife cuts flesh and blood, and the sword penetrates bone marrow.

Even Kieran, who has [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance], felt a chill in the snowstorm at night on the island of the end.

But Qin Ran was delighted.

Because, he felt the surge of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique].

"Sure enough, I ignored it!"

"The special feature of the island of the end is not only the desire, but also the climate - the desire to confuse people's hearts all the time and the extremely harsh environment constitute the name of the island of the end! But..."

"For me, it couldn't be better!"

Standing in the blizzard, Kieran took another deep breath, and his eyes scanned the most violent location of the blizzard.

A-level perception, in such a snowstorm, has dropped to an unbearable level.

However, Qin Ran still vaguely found a mountain peak that was hit by cold wind and snowstorm.

"It's there!"

With a fixed gaze, Qin Ran strode towards the established goal.

Every step, the snow will flood the knees.

Every step, there will be a sting like a needle on the cheek.

With each step, the snow on his body would become thicker, making it more difficult for him to move forward.

But every step is so firm.

The wind became more and more violent.

The snow is getting colder and colder.

When Qin Ran walked halfway towards the target, the chill had already spread on his body.

The effect of [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance] is constantly decreasing.

The closer to the core of the blizzard, the more intense the cold.

When Qin Ran advanced several hundred meters again, condensed and covered frost began to appear on his body. The first thing that was frozen was his moving legs, then his torso, arms and face.

Click, click!

Kieran patted the frost with both hands, his legs didn't stop at all.

The condensed frost continued to burst into crisp crackling sounds.

But as Kieran moved forward, the condensation speed became faster and faster.

Even if Qin Ran kept his hands on, he still couldn't keep up with this speed.

Woo!

Another gust of cold wind blew by.

The wrapped snowflakes slammed on Qin Ran's body.

In just one breath, Kieran was submerged.

Then, the frost began to spread and cover Kieran again.

The hand that Qin Ran raised just now was frozen.

A layer of 3 to 4 centimeters of ice appeared on Kieran's arm.

Then, the ice layer began to thicken rapidly.

Qin Ran tried his best to break free from the frozen ice, but just as his arm moved, more snowflakes fell down.

A second later, Qin Ran was completely submerged in it.

Two seconds later, more snowflakes piled up around, and Kieran's trace disappeared completely.

Including footprints.

three seconds.

four seconds.

five seconds.

...

Time passed by every minute and every second, the wind howled and the blizzard roared.

There seems to be no life in the ice and snow.

Then, a round aura full of metallic feeling appeared.

Four in a row.

Bursting with power from ice and snow.

boom!

The oncoming blizzard was pushed aside.

The power of healing began to fill Kieran's body, and his frozen body regained vitality.

The warm current drives away the cold.

Not only [The Thorn of the Saint II], but also...

[Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique]!

That surging feeling finally broke out in this one.

It seems that every time Qin Ran increases the level of [Dawn Knight Body Forging Technique], the warm current from his body manifests in a special way.

Blessed to the soul, Qin Ran immersed himself in it without hesitation.

A moment later, when [The Thorn of the Saint II] appeared for the third time——

[After practice, the master-level Dawn Knight Exercise has gained a lot of experience, and the gold skill points required to upgrade have been reduced by 1...]

...

The hint appeared on Kieran's retina.
