Chapter 192: Snowflake Mark
Two days later, Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin climbed to the top of a snowy mountain.
The biting cold wind blew, mixed with some flying snow.
Su Yuan and Situ Qingyin looked at the huge ancient city that suddenly appeared in front of them, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Is it that ancient city?"
It was a city trapped in the snow, with blue brick and tile walls, and halls connected to the clouds, and there was no end in sight. It can be imagined that it must have been a heavy city.
However, at this time, there was silence, cold and dead silence, and only the white snow was still flying day and night.
"It seems to be an empty city?"
"That shouldn't be, there are just no 'people'."
Even here, Su Yuan could vaguely feel that there were a lot of cold and powerful breaths coming from all over the city.
It seems that in this ancient city, in addition to flying snow, there may be something else.
"Let's go, go down and take a look."
"Okay!" Situ Qingyin responded, and followed Su Yuan forward.
Although they didn't see the city gate, the walls of the ancient city were seriously damaged. Su Yuan and the others easily entered and came to one of the roads.
This seemed to be the outer city of the ancient city, and the surrounding houses were all low-rise blue brick houses.
Situ Qingyin looked at these houses: "The architectural style is similar to that of the southern part of our continent thousands of years ago, but it seems to be different..."
On the East Continent, the south and the north are two different styles overall, which may also be related to the two great countries of Da Yan and Qi Guang located at the two ends of the continent.
"Let's see what's in the room."
Su Yuan and the others randomly picked a house next to them and walked in, but it was empty, there was nothing inside, just an empty house.
Su Yuan thought for a while and said, "Let's go in first, and take a look at other rooms by the way."
The two walked along the current road and entered some rooms at random.
Nearly half an hour later, Su Yuan came to a low blue brick house. Before entering the door, he felt a faint fluctuation of star power.
Su Yuan's heart moved slightly, and he walked into the room a few steps, and soon found a crystal hexagonal snowflake mark on a wall.
"Is this... a star power mark?" Situ Qingyin also followed and looked at the snowflake-shaped mark.
Su Yuan nodded: "It should be a star power mark automatically formed under the rules of the secret realm."
This ancient city has been fallen for an unknown period of time. The star power marks left by ordinary people may have been erased with time. It can only be formed automatically by the rules of the secret realm.
Unlike the dangerous area outside, the secret realm is an independent space embedded in the Hailan Star World formed by various reasons. It often has its own set of rules, more like a "game copy".
Now, with the discovery of this snowflake mark, Su Yuan and the others have finally touched a corner of this secret realm.
The white snow mark in front of them looks like a challenge or a trap mechanism.
And to explore this secret realm, it is naturally inevitable to try it.
Su Yuan reminded, "Qingyin, be careful."
"Yes!" Situ Qingyin was also ready.
Su Yuan's mind moved, and he activated the mark with his own star power.
A white light lit up, and the surging snow instantly enveloped Su Yuan, and the next moment, he disappeared from the spot.
"Su Yuan?!"
Situ Qingyin was startled, but soon calmed down. It seemed that Su Yuan should have been teleported somewhere.
"With Su Yuan's strength, nothing should happen. Let's wait."
Situ Qingyin thought for a while, then came to the door, and carefully alerted the surroundings...
Su Yuan's eyes blurred, and he appeared in a snowy space.
"Trial challenge?" Su Yuan looked around, but there was no one, "Then what about the opponent?"
At this moment, a large piece of snow gathered at high speed on the ground in front of him, and in a short moment it turned into a burly man with a bare upper body and a spear in his hand.
"Oh, a humanoid star beast?... No, it's more like a unique life form formed under the rules of the secret realm."
Su Yuan looked at the burly man opposite him. He had strong muscles and dull eyes, and his aura was only at the middle bronze level.
After the burly man condensed, he quickly came over with a spear in his hand.
Su Yuan went forward and exchanged a few moves with him, and then strangled his neck.
"The moves are rigid and regular. Judging from the posture, it may be some basic spearmanship in ancient times.
But the movements are a little stiff, and it seems that there is no intelligence..."
Just as Su Yuan was thinking, the body of the big man turned into a lot of flying snow and gradually dissipated.
And the original hexagonal snowflake appeared again, hanging in front of Su Yuan, with a bright white light on it, and in a flash it turned into a bunch of light blue fruits shaped like grapes.
"It looks like some kind of spiritual fruit..." Su Yuan reached out to catch it.
At this time, the surrounding space trembled, and a repulsive force came, and Su Yuan returned to the previous room.
"Su Yuan, you're back!" Situ Qingyin was delighted, and then her eyes fell on the light blue fruit in Su Yuan's hand, "Frost grapes?"
Situ Qingyin seemed to recognize this thing and came closer to take a look.
"Do you know it?"
"Yes, this is a first-level spiritual fruit that can play a role in refreshing the mind and calming the mood."
Su Yuan's eyes showed a thoughtful look: "It seems that this snowflake mark is one of the keys to the ruins of this ancient city. As long as the mark is activated and the challenge is passed, some items similar to this frost grape can be obtained."
Situ Qingyin heard this and looked a little excited: "In this case, there may be snow crystal stones!"
"But frost grapes are only first-level materials. It is not so easy to find higher materials in this way.
The challenge is secondary. The main thing is to be able to find other snowflake marks..."
Just when Su Yuan was thinking, Situ Qingyin hesitated for a moment and said: "Su Yuan, let's go and look for them separately!"
"Hmm?" Su Yuan was about to refuse as soon as he heard it.
Just kidding, not finding the snow crystal stone is a small matter. If I don't take good care of this person, the teacher will peel off his skin when I go back...
Situ Qingyin said: "This challenge is completed by one person, and it's useless for me to be by your side.
Besides, your strength is much higher than mine. If I follow you, it will slow down your progress.
As for my safety, you don't have to worry. This time, my grandfather gave me a lot of life-saving things, including space teleportation talismans.
Even if you can't beat others, you can run away, don't worry!"
Situ Qingyin took out two more talismans and handed one of them to Su Yuan.
"This is a pair of communication talismans, with a large range. At least in this ancient city, it should be able to communicate completely.
If there is danger or any new discovery, we will contact each other through this."
Looking at the communication talisman handed over by Situ Qingyin, Su Yuan couldn't help but think.
Although he was basically cleaning up the star beasts on the way, according to his own observation, Situ Qingyin's strength was by no means weak.
It is close to high-level silver, and the soul card should also be blue, and the six-dimensional qualifications are not bad.
But these are secondary. The main thing is that as the granddaughter of the master of refining, and also a master of refining, Situ Qingyin has no shortage of equipment!
All over her body, there are swords, bracelets, rings... There are no less than five pieces of various blue star tools, not to mention the good things in the space ring!
In addition, there are many kinds of attack, defense, and healing talismans.
Even if the combat experience is a little less, the equipment alone is enough to kill most opponents...
Plus a space transmission talisman, as long as you are careful, there should be no problem.
And for himself, if he acts alone, the efficiency will indeed be much higher.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan did not think too much and reached out to take the communication talisman.
"Okay, then you move carefully, protect yourself first, and teleport away decisively when you encounter danger. I will find the snow crystal stone for you."
Situ Qingyin smiled and said, "Well, don't worry!"
Su Yuan nodded, and then he started the Wind Step and flew rapidly towards the depths of the ancient city alone.
Situ Qingyin looked at Su Yuan who disappeared from his sight after a few jumps, and couldn't help but secretly relieved.
Obviously, the other party was helping him find materials, but he was dragging his feet...
Situ Qingyin felt a little stressed. Now not only did he free Su Yuan, but he could also play a role.
"I'll act quickly too."
Situ Qingyin cheered up, chose a direction and moved carefully.
...
After a while, next to a small building.
Accompanied by a faint white halo, Su Yuan's figure appeared.
Su Yuan looked at the gray-white metal in his hand and put it away.
"All the snowflake marks I found in succession only gave me some first-level materials or white star cards.
It stands to reason that such an ancient city ruins should not only have these ordinary goods. It seems that the distribution of snowflake rewards should be particular.
Although I don't know the specific rules, according to conventional thinking, better things are more likely to be in the center of the city, or some important places in the city..."
Su Yuan looked up at the depths of the ancient city. Compared with the low blue brick walls here, he could vaguely see the attics and palaces in the distance.
"Then let's go straight to the depths."
Su Yuan made up his mind and wanted to jump quickly to the depths of the ancient city.
But at this moment, a uniform sound of footsteps suddenly came from the right corner of the street ahead.
Su Yuan looked up at the intersection: "Oh, is there something coming?"
Not long after, a team of silver-armored soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp blades, whose faces could not be seen clearly, walked out from the right street not far ahead.
Two cavalrymen, twenty infantrymen, and eight archers, all of them were silver-level!
This team seemed to be heading for Su Yuan, and turned around and came to the road where Su Yuan was.
The archers in the back row bent their bows and put arrows on them, while the two cavalrymen in the front held their long spears tightly, leading the way and charging forward with many infantrymen!
"A humanoid army of thirty people is really lively..."
Su Yuan flipped his hand and took out the Fengqi Knife. With a thought, the dark space force surged onto the long knife in his hand, and it kept surging.
"Break the boundary line."
Su Yuan casually swung the knife, and a dark line with a heart-pounding fluctuation appeared in front of him. It shot out in an instant and cut into the many silver-armored soldiers rushing forward!
The two cavalrymen were the first to bear the brunt. The terrifying and direct space cutting force was simply unstoppable. In an instant, they were cut in half by the break line along with the warhorses under them.
As for the infantry and archers behind, they were even more fragile than the other. They were cut in half like mowing grass and turned into corpses on the ground.
In just a few seconds, the many corpses on the ground turned into large pieces of white snow again.
"Sure enough, it's the same as the thing in the Snowflake Mark Challenge, a creature formed under the rules of the secret realm... Hmm? Is this... a star card?"
Su Yuan looked at the snow in front of him, and saw two star cards emitting a faint glow in the white snow.
Su Yuan took a few steps forward and picked up the star card.

"Winter Snow City? Is this ancient city called Winter Snow City?"
"Moreover, although the secret creatures in these cities do not have star cores, they can actually produce summoning cards based on these creatures..."
Su Yuan was quite surprised, and then looked at another card:
[Winter Snow City Cavalry (Summon)]
[Quality: Green]

…
“So weak…” Su Yuan shook his head, “The introduction sounds awesome, but it’s actually really weak.”
Although these two cards are weak, this means that the value of this ancient city ruins lies not only in the snowflake marks, but also in the summoning cards transformed from these secret creatures…
“There are quite a few things in this ancient city.”
Su Yuan disassembled the two cards casually, and then he went straight to the depths of the secret realm…
