Chapter 224: Breakthrough, Two Masters of Swordsmanship, Zhuo Yan and Tian Qing!
Heavy snow.
Ryan stood on the back of the big silver and flew forward at low altitude.
The cold wind blew on his face.
It must be said that the feeling of flying in the sky and walking on the ground is still completely different, and the vision is much wider.
Along the way, Ryan saw a lot of life. They were not forbidden-level monsters, and they were not even crown-level, but some small animals living in the snow forest.
Snow deer, snow dogs, and the like, as well as various insects. Although these lives are not monsters, they are an important part of the snow forest ecology.
After flying for more than two hours, Ryan's eyes, in the distance of his vision, the density of snow trees began to decrease. After flying for another hour, through the heavy wind and snow in front, he even vaguely saw some outlines of the towering glaciers.
"Are we leaving the snow forest area?"
Ryan's eyes flashed with surprise.
Although the hunting range of forbidden monsters is extremely wide, there is only one forbidden-level monster in a large area of snow forest, but it shouldn't be like this, right?
With a change of mind, Ryan immediately guessed.
The distribution of the snow forest area is not uniform in every direction. Some have a long depth, such as the direction where he encountered the Stegosaurus variant last time he traveled, and some have a short depth, such as the current direction.
"Anyway, let's go and take a look."
Ryan said to himself.
As Dayin continued to fly, it didn't take long for the man and the shark to arrive in front of a large glacier.
Looking up, the icebergs condensed by the thick ice layer were one after another, and there was no end in sight.
These icebergs have experienced countless years of wind and snow baptism on the permafrost continent, and their solidity has reached an extremely exaggerated degree, even harder than metal.
"Glacier area..."
Ryan's voice was full of solemnity.
In the snow forest area, he encountered a Stegosaurus variant with a strength of three forbidden stars, and what kind of terrible monsters lived in the deeper glacier area?
Of course, it doesn't mean that the monsters in the glacier area are necessarily stronger than those in the snow forest area.
The overall average strength is definitely stronger in the glacier area, there is no doubt about that, but when it comes to individuals, it is not necessarily the case.
Compared with the [Taboo] Horned Dragon and [Taboo] Frostwing Dragon that they had encountered before, the strength of the Sword Slayer Dragon variant is several steps higher, and it is not at the same level at all. In terms of identity, the Sword Slayer Dragon variant is likely to be the lord of the Snow Forest Area.
"I hope to meet an ordinary special species in the Glacier Area..."
Ryan was looking forward to it.
If he directly encounters a three-star special species in the Glacier Area, with his current strength, he will probably have to "go home".
"Dayin, let's go down."
Ryan squatted down and patted Dayin's head gently, and the latter also landed with understanding.
In fact, even if Ryan didn't say it, Dayin didn't dare to fly.
Before entering the Glacier Area, it felt the dangerous atmosphere in the environment.
In this case, a large group of red fog appeared in the air, which was too ostentatious.
After Dayin lowered the altitude, Ryan jumped down.
"Bang!"
Feeling the feedback from his feet, Ryan's eyes condensed slightly.
Just as he expected, the ice layer in the glacier area was incredibly hard. He fell from a height of dozens of meters, and there was not even a tiny crack on the ice layer under his feet.
After stretching his muscles, Ryan looked at Dayin: "Be careful, follow me more than a hundred meters behind. If you encounter a strong monster, you can provide remote support. If I lose, run away as soon as possible. Remember not to get close before the battle is over."
Ryan's traveling clone can be resurrected again, but Dayin can't do that. If he dies, he is really dead, and there is no chance to come back.
Hearing this, Dayin also nodded vigorously.
It is still clear about its own weight. Although it is not weak, it is still too weak compared to the powerful enemy that Ryan needs to fight fiercely.
Remote support is already its limit.
In this way, one man and one shark officially stepped into an area that even the hunting group rarely set foot in and had no intelligence.
After entering the glacier area, Ryan's first feeling was that the temperature in the air became lower. At the same time, due to the lack of snow trees to cover the wind and snow, his outdoor activity time was greatly reduced.
The acquisition of the special skill [Ice Attribute Resistance lv.4] has greatly improved Ryan's ice attribute resistance.
With this reduction and increase, Ryan's outdoor activity time has not changed much.
The hard ice layer feels much better than the soft snow, but it is easy to slip. Fortunately, the special skill [Deep Snow Adaptation] also covers the situation of ice. Generally speaking, there is no big problem.
Walking along the gorge between the hundred-foot glaciers, the cold wind blows from the end of the gorge, driving Ryan's hair flying back.
The narrow ice channel gives people a sense of endless loneliness.
After walking hundreds of meters, the channel becomes wider and the light becomes brighter. When he reaches the end of the channel, Ryan sees an ice valley surrounded by several glaciers.
However, before he could observe carefully, he suddenly felt a clear vibration.
"Boom... Boom... Boom..."
The ground trembled, and the broken ice slag kept shaking.
Ryan raised his head suddenly and looked across.
In the distance of the Ice Valley, that is, another passage leading to the Ice Valley opposite Ryan, a tide of ice fog rolled in, impacting and raging, and then a huge black shadow rushed out from it.
"Bang!"
The huge body of more than ten meters long, every step it took, made the ground tremble slightly, and behind the smooth body lines was a long and narrow huge tail.
From the overall image, this monster is very similar to the [lower level] Jinglei Dragon that Ryan had encountered in the outer area of the mysterious island, but it is much larger, and the color of its body surface has also changed from sky blue to brown-black.
Ryan noticed that there were tiny arcs of electricity jumping near the foothold of this monster.
Thunder attribute? But it seems to be true or not.
"However, judging from the breath, this seems to be just a special species of 'forbidden one star'?"
Thinking of this, Ryan moved his feet, and his body disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he had come to the side of this monster similar to Jinglei Dragon.
At this distance, Ryan could clearly see that the monster's body was covered with scars and panting.
At the same time, the specific introduction of the panel appeared in front of him.
——
[Poisonous Thunder Dragon]: [Taboo] Tooth Dragon, a subspecies of the Silent Thunder Dragon, inhabits the glacier area of the Permafrost Continent.
This subspecies replaces the thunder attribute with the poison attribute and retains the paralysis attribute. It can poison the opponent through its sharp poisonous scales and paralyze its prey through the paralysis fangs in its mouth.
The athletic ability of the Poisonous Thunder Dragon is far superior to that of the Flying Thunder Dragon. It can easily jump and glide on the ground, and can easily use the aerial turning skills that only a few Silent Thunder Dragons can do. It has also learned the scale-throwing attack similar to the Swift Dragon, which has a strong poison attribute.
Although the Poisonous Thunder Dragon has only been found on the Permafrost Continent, it has a low resistance to cold, so it rarely appears in the cold open-air glaciers. Instead, it chooses to move more in cave structures that are sheltered from wind and snow. Occasionally, it will go out to hunt for Bobo and bring the prey back to the nest to eat.
——
The introduction of the panel made Ryan's eyebrows appear solemn.
The [taboo] poisonous paralysis thunder dragon, which originally disliked the open-air glacier environment, was running in the open-air glacier area, and with the scars all over its body...
Such an abnormal situation means that there is some kind of crisis, forcing the [taboo] poisonous paralysis thunder dragon to leave its territory and come to the open-air glacier area it dislikes, trying to find a chance to survive.
At this moment.
"Roar!"
A loud and fierce dragon roar came from the depths of the passage, echoing continuously in the ice valley.
"Boom!"
A black shadow turned back and forth on the hundred-foot ice walls on both sides of the passage, wrapped in a snowstorm tornado, and smashed down fiercely.
In an instant, the ground shook.
The [taboo] poisonous paralysis thunder dragon hit by the black shadow let out a shrill wail, and its huge body flew up and hit the ice wall on the side, and then slowly slid down. The already low life breath was even weaker after this blow, and it was almost extinguished.
"Bang!"
Ryan half-crouched beside the fallen body of the [Taboo] Poisonous Thunder Dragon, looking up ahead.
In the snowy fog, a huge monster slowly and calmly walked out.
The first thing to bear the brunt was two huge amber fangs.
With a body size of nearly 40 meters, it was at the top level even among all the monsters Ryan had encountered.
Against the backdrop of the snow, the pure white knight walked out, and the powerful aura swept the entire Ice Valley in an instant.
——
[Amber Tooth Dragon]: [Taboo] flying dragon species, a large carnivorous flying dragon that lives in the glacier area of the permafrost continent, with an appearance similar to a saber-toothed tiger. In the hunter world, it has many titles such as "Permafrost White Knight" and "Phantom Dragon". Countless hunters have died tragically under the fangs and claws of the Amber Tooth Dragon after entering the glacier area.
Ambertooth dragons are large flying dragons with incomplete wings, so when they land, they tend to use their well-developed wing feet and hind legs together, walking or jumping long distances on four legs. The back of their bodies is covered with tile-like layers of white carapace, occasionally with a little white hair; the ventral side is covered with a lot of hair; the tip of the tail is forked.
A pair of amber fangs extend downward from their upper jaws, which are exposed outside the mouth because they are very long, and are very similar to the canine teeth of saber-toothed tigers. The thorns, claws and wing claws on the wings are like anti-slip spikes, which can prevent Ambertooth dragons from slipping on ice. The eyelids of Ambertooth dragons can effectively prevent wind and snow without hindering Ambertooth dragons from seeing things.
Ambertooth dragons have an organ called "ice bag" that can produce ice breath. The breath can cover the target with ice and snow, restrict the opponent's movement, and also roll up a short-lived small tornado.
Ambertooth Dragons have excellent climbing ability, so they will climb up the ice wall and then swoop down, and their speed is extremely fast. When flying, they can also use swoop attacks. Their moves are varied and dynamic, and they change positions very frequently, which can be called a nightmare.
Ambertooth Dragons often move in glacier areas and only enter caves when breeding.
——
The huge momentum that surpasses the "Forbidden One Star" is coming, but Ryan is not surprised but happy about it.
Although this momentum is stronger than the "Forbidden One Star", it is much weaker than the Sword Dragon variant that crushed him.
"Forbidden Two Star Special Species?"
With this thought in mind, Ryan stood up and pulled out the Black Obsidian Great Sword behind him. The blazing flames spread and jumped on the sword body, and then suddenly penetrated into the head of the dying [Forbidden] Poisonous Paralysis Thunder Dragon beside him.
"Crack... Puff!"
The [Taboo] Poisonous Thunder Dragon, which was in a dying state, had its defenses at their lowest point. It didn't even need to use the softening technique. The greatsword broke its skull and crushed and burned its brain tissue.
The [Taboo] Poisonous Thunder Dragon trembled, and then died completely.
Ryan stared at the sharp eyes of the "Eternal Frozen White Knight" in front of him, and expressed his attitude with his actions.
In the natural ecology, rashly snatching other people's prey is the second greatest hatred after life and death, and it is also a great provocation.
The four eyes met, and the heavy atmosphere pressed down.
In front of Ryan, a series of panel prompts appeared.
——
[You have killed "[Taboo] Poisonous Thunder Dragon (Seal of Sloth)", and the strength of both sides is being compared...]
[Comparison completed! 】
【[Power Waiter] Build 25% (single limit), currently 75%, get "Waiter Feedback" - Special Skill [Dragon Heart (Mastery)] - When entering combat, all attributes increase by 30% (combat bonus, not included in the base panel). 】
【Blessed by [Dragon Pearl], [Dragon Heart] skill level increases, Mastery → Master. 】

【[King of Sloth] Career fit reaches 25%, currently 75%, get career bonus: Spirituality +90.0, Physical +90.0! (Cumulative)]
——
[Level]: 21 (2%) → 21 (20%)
[Spiritual Value]: 35722635 → 40722635
[Spirituality]: 321.7 → 351.7
[Physical Fitness]: 935.71 → 965.71
——
Because he only snatched the "last blow", Ryan did not get any spoils after defeating the [taboo] poisonous paralysis thunder dragon. At the same time, his spiritual value was only half, and even the blue color did not recognize it.
But in addition to this, he got all the experience points and the establishment of the power servant.
Compared with fighting to the death, this kind of "interception in the middle" is really too happy.
The only pity is that there are not many such opportunities. Ryan has only encountered one in his travels so far.
The stronger [Spirituality] and [Physical Fitness] make Ryan's momentum even stronger.
With his master-level skills, he was able to fully master the 30-point increase in an instant.
Facing the provocation of the enemy, especially one that was much smaller than himself and looked like an ant in his eyes, a proud [Taboo] Amber Tooth Dragon naturally could not tolerate it.
"Roar!"
A thunderous roar opened the curtain of the battle in the Ice Valley.
"Boom--"
The hard iron ice surface cracked over a large area. The [Taboo] Amber Tooth Dragon's limbs suddenly exerted force, and the whole body jumped high. After taking advantage of the surface of a hundred-foot ice pillar, it fell towards Ryan's position.
The fully extended giant claw, even if it was just one, was much larger than Ryan.
The shadow covered Ryan's body. He raised his head and locked his sights on the [Taboo] Amber Tooth Dragon, his eyes full of surging fighting fire.
He thought he couldn't defeat the three-star forbidden one, but the two-star forbidden one was equivalent to an enemy of a senior demigod. He was confident that he could fight!
"Boom!"
Where the giant claws fell, the ice layer broke and sunken, forming a sunken area with a radius of more than ten meters. The green wind blew, and Ryan, who had performed [Walking Wind Slash], appeared behind the [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon.
The next moment, the great sword that had completed the "charge" was lifted up from bottom to top.
The magnificent flame sword energy was like a crescent moon rising into the sky.
Wherever the "Slashing Flame Wind Blade" passed, the terrifying high temperature melted the ice and snow.
The speed shown by Ryan made the [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon's beast eyes appear surprised.
The sword energy was about to come, and it swung its tail violently, and the tail spines wrapped in ice and snow collided violently with the "Slashing Flame Wind Blade".
"Boom!"
The explosion roared, the snow and fog rolled, and in the smoke and dust, Ryan's figure had appeared above the head of the [taboo] amber tooth dragon. At this moment, the blue light particles around him were still dissipating in the air.
The red sword, held in both hands, suddenly stabbed down, tearing the "hard skin" on the head of the [taboo] amber tooth dragon.
"Roar!"
The severe pain made the [taboo] amber tooth dragon's eyes appear furious.
As a "knight", it could not tolerate other creatures riding it.
The violent wind and snow raged around with its body as the center, and the huge impact force forced Ryan, who had just completed the "softening", to fly away.
In the violent airflow, he could not control his fall.
Although he was powerful, Ryan had difficulty controlling his body shape once he was attacked because his weight was much lighter than that of the monster without his feet on the ground.
In the center of the snowstorm, the [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon flapped its wings and began to float into the air.
The cold beast eyes stared at Ryan who was caught in the air flow in the air. It opened its mouth, and the next moment, a stream of ice-blue cold current particles shot out.
The crisis was approaching, but there was no panic in Ryan's eyes.
After the initial confrontation, he found that the [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon of the Taboo 2 star seemed, as if, not as powerful as he expected?
The thought flashed through Ryan's mind, and the bright blue light in Ryan's eyes suddenly became brighter.
A giant energy hand appeared out of thin air, grasped the [forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon, and then disappeared. Then, Ryan's body escaped into the "Feast Space" to avoid the cold current particles.
[Greedy Grip] took effect, and the [forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon felt that the strength and energy in its body were falling, which made its beast eyes appear a little panic.
It has lived on the Everfrozen Continent for so long, and has never encountered such an ability.
The greatsword completed the charging, and Ryan walked out of the "Feast Space" one step ahead, his figure was like the wind, and he fell on the back of the [forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon. Side by side with him was the Power Servant.
The doubled slashing wind blade was slashed out, building 75% of the [Power Servant], and the basic attributes were increased by an additional 90%. Although there is no blessing of a large number of special skills, the basic attributes alone make its strength not much weaker than Ryan's traveling clone.
"Boom!"
The flames surged and spread. The [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon in the air wailed and fell with a trembling body.
The force of the great sword's rebound made Ryan and the Power Servant slightly suspended in the air. They continued to accumulate power, preparing to launch another double-slashing wind blade after the [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon landed.
However, just when the one and the servant were about to complete the accumulation of power, suddenly, a heavy roar swept over from the hundred-foot ice wall.
Ryan's heart jumped and he looked up suddenly.
I saw a [Forbidden] Amber Tooth Dragon with a larger body and more powerful amber teeth on its mouth, spreading its wings and swooping down along the ice wall.
From Ryan's perspective, the wind and snow tornado descending from top to bottom was like a falling sky, carrying an oppressive feeling that was difficult to describe in words.
Ryan's pupils shrank sharply.
This [Taboo] Amber Tooth Dragon has a much better aura than the one he just shot down. Although it is still not as good as the Sword Slashing Dragon variant, it is estimated that it has reached the pinnacle of [Taboo] two stars!
At this moment, Ryan suddenly remembered a sentence in the panel introduction just now-"Amber Tooth Dragons often move in the glacier area and only enter the cave when breeding."
Breed... Breed... How to breed without a male and a female?
In other words, the one he just shot down was one of the male and the female, and the one coming to rescue is the other one?
As for which one is male and which one is female, Ryan can't judge. He can only call the previous one a small amber tooth dragon and the one coming to rescue the big amber tooth dragon.
The strong wind made Ryan and the power servant stay in the air for a longer time.
At the same time, the little amber tooth dragon that landed also roared angrily, and its body was filled with red light, and its wings fluttered, sweeping up a red tornado that was not inferior to the tornado above.
One up and one down, one white and one red, the two tornadoes formed a shape similar to a "sand drain", and Ryan and the power servant were located in the middle of the "sand drain".
The violent airflow constantly tore Ryan's body.
The effect of the superposition of the two tornadoes was 1+1>2!
The lazy spirits that constituted the power servants were constantly emitting dark green light spots under the tearing of the tornadoes.
A strong life-and-death crisis emerged from Ryan's heart.
The power of this attack has exceeded the scope of the forbidden two stars.
Facing such an attack, the "tyrant blood film" and the blood barrier could not resist.
To block it, either open the "invincible barrier" of the [nameless ship sculpture], or use the [root reversal] to hold on for a breath after dying.
The latter is easily taken away by the aftermath of the tornado, and the former...
The wandering clone has a chance to come back, and Ryan does not want to use the opportunity to use the invincible barrier here.
After all, no one can guarantee what will happen to the main body.
And the invincible barrier is the last means of protection for the main body!
"Is it over..."
"I was careless."
Ryan sighed in his heart.
If it was an amber tooth dragon, even a big amber tooth dragon, he would have the confidence to defeat it, but encountering two at once... it really exceeded his current ability limit.
Just when Ryan was about to give up.
He was in the violent airflow and suddenly heard the rhythm of the wind.
It was violent and gentle.
With a unique melody.
It was extremely hot and extremely cold,
with an ode to ice and fire.
The moment before the two tornadoes, one white and one red, were about to touch.
Ryan's figure disappeared in the center of the storm, replaced by a red light that tore the sky.
The storm collapsed, and the ice valley trembled violently, shattering the remaining scorching sword energy of the storm and falling on the hundred-foot ice pillar, cutting it in half.
