Chapter 2283
Snow filled the sky, the cold wind whimpered, and the sky was hazy. The snowfield didn't seem oppressive; as long as there was a light source, this vast expanse of white snowfield wouldn't be dark, just cold.
Snowflakes landed on Su Xiao's face and were immediately melted by his body temperature. The cold wind blew, evaporating the water droplets while also taking away a small amount of his body temperature.
Tut-tut-tut~
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's teeth chattered, and white mist puffed out from under its moist nose. No mistake, as the "Snowfield Wolf King," it was now frozen like a dog, which was very abnormal.
Tut-tut-tut~
Amu also made a tutting sound in its mouth. Amu, who didn't even feel cold in the extreme ice of the Witch World, was now shivering from the cold.
As for Baja and Benny, they were also frozen quite badly, especially Benny, who even had snot frozen out.
At this time, the temperature of the snowfield was minus 40 degrees. For Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu, this temperature was nothing at all. Given their situation, they shouldn't just not feel cold; they should feel comfortable.
The current situation was that they all felt very cold.
"It, it, it is, too, too, too cold."
Baja squatted on Amu's shoulder, its teeth chattering so much it couldn't speak clearly.
Su Xiao, walking at the very front, stopped. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked up at Su Xiao slightly, meaning: "Master, aren't you cold?"
"Not feeling it for now."
"Woof!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was somewhat incredulous. In terms of cold resistance, Amu ranked first in the team, and it was definitely second.
Su Xiao flattened his palm, and a few snowflakes landed on his hand. The snowflakes melted immediately. This made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang very puzzled. It looked at its own front paws; it was impossible for the furry paws to melt snow, but Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's imagination was vast, and it immediately stuck out its tongue.
Snowflakes landed on Xiang Bubu's tongue. A strange scene appeared: the snowflakes didn't melt immediately but stayed for at least a few seconds before melting slightly.
"Woo-ooo-ooo~"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hugged its head with both paws, fell onto the snow, and shook its head. The feeling it had now was like eating a big mouthful of ice cream in the summer, stimulating a sharp pain in its forehead.
At this time, Su Xiao was located in the edge area of the Land of Extreme Cold. The temperature here would continue to drop. Not only that, but this edge area would also continue to shrink toward the Peak Mountains.
The temperature of minus 40 degrees froze Xiang Bubu and Amu into this state, indicating that the most terrifying thing about the edge area was not just the low temperature.
In terms of stamina attributes, Amu was not much lower than Su Xiao. The biggest difference between Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, Baja, Benny, and Su Xiao was soul strength.
The blizzard in the edge area would ignore cold resistance and directly make the soul feel cold. Otherwise, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Amu wouldn't have been frozen into this state.
Su Xiao walked at the very front. After stepping on the accumulated snow, it made a crunching, crunching sound. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang followed behind him, Benny was behind that, and finally, Amu and Baja brought up the rear.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the blizzard falling from the sky gradually subsided. A few snowflakes fell, and the snow stopped.
Su Xiao looked back. He seemed to have just passed through an invisible barrier. Inside the barrier, there wasn't even a snowflake, and the cold wind was much smaller. Outside the barrier, there was a sky full of blizzards and cold wind.
With this invisible barrier as the boundary, outside the barrier was the periphery of the Land of Extreme Cold. This area was a blizzard weather, and the cold would gradually freeze the soul.
Just after walking out of the blizzard area, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shivered. It suddenly felt not cold anymore. Although the temperature was still minus 40 degrees, it couldn't feel the cold at all. At most, it was cool. This feeling even made it want to lie on the snow and take a nap.
Amu and Baja had the same experience. As for Benny, it was wiping its snot. It came from the "Hot Rainforest Forest" and was afraid of nothing, except the cold.
The fifth round of the Powerhouse Contest would last for 5 natural days. During this period, the range of the Land of Extreme Cold would continue to shrink, with the Peak Mountains as the center point.
In other words, as time passed, the possibility of Su Xiao encountering other participants would become higher and higher.
According to what Su Xiao knew, each participant had a 【Champion's Medal】. Once this thing was taken away for more than 10 minutes, they would be eliminated directly.
Snatching the most 【Champion's Medals】, or killing or eliminating all other nine participants, would win the top spot.
This was what Su Xiao was prepared to do. Of course, there was another way, which was to hide, hiding all the way to the Peak Mountains at the very center.
As long as one wasn't eliminated, one could hide up to second place at best, provided one could hide.
For Su Xiao, the most important thing right now was to find other participants. Considering that the fifth round had just begun and the range of the Land of Extreme Cold was still very large, the possibility of encountering other participants was not high.
In terms of finding people, Su Xiao's team had an absolute advantage. After leaving the edge area, the blizzard stopped, and Baja could bird's-eye view from high altitude to find enemies.
Su Xiao looked at the snow on the ground and then at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.
"Woof?"
A moment later, Su Xiao sat on a snow sled, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang pulled the sled in front, exceptionally happy. With its strength and endurance, pulling the snow sled was very easy.
Baja flew high in the sky, its sharp eyes scanning below. Anything suspicious couldn't escape its eyes.
As for Amu and Benny, they formed another team. Amu had combat power, and Benny had brains and rich exploration experience.
In this way, the possibility of encountering other participants could be greatly improved. Once encountered, Benny would immediately use the Shelter Gem to open a spatial rift, and Su Xiao could arrive at its side. Although he would be dragged back by the spatial rift after an hour, this was enough. The durability of the Shelter Gem was 2 points, meaning it could be used twice in the Land of Extreme Cold.
Amu and Benny would meet up with Su Xiao after 3 days. At that time, the Land of Extreme Cold would shrink to be smaller, and there would be no need to split up to find other participants.
How to snatch more 【Champion's Medals】 was the key, but there was one thing that made Su Xiao feel a bit regretful, which was that he didn't see any natives in the Land of Extreme Cold. If there were, he would have more than a 60% chance of uniting these natives.
This wasn't Su Xiao's blind confidence. In the past, when he entered a native world, the thing he did most was this. Interests, internal conflicts, power, alchemy knowledge, survival resources, territory, etc., were all methods used to unite natives.
Previously in the Viking Sea, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many forces there, too mixed, and it required a long time to operate, Su Xiao would have already done so and blocked more than 99% of the participants outside Terror Island.
The speed of the snow sled suddenly slowed down. After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rolled twice on the snow, it ran quickly to Su Xiao's side. Looking at that appearance, if it weren't for its size, it would have already rushed into Su Xiao's arms.
"Woo~"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang whimpered in its mouth, leaning close to Su Xiao's leg, trying its best to lean its body backward.
The reason Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang looked like this was because a hundred meters away, a semi-transparent figure was floating in mid-air. Her feet were about half a meter away from the snow. Looking at her appearance, she looked very much like a ghost.
The ghost floated slowly. Her semi-transparent white long hair fluttered in the wind, and her tattered skirt hung down, making it impossible to see if she had feet.
In fact, this was not a ghost, but an Ice Elf, a very rare energy creature.
A hundred meters away, the Ice Elf was looking toward the direction where Su Xiao was. Her azure eyes were full of curiosity. She had grown up and only seen two humans. Right now, there was one, and the other was a bitter cultivator who came to challenge the limits. That bitter cultivator told her many stories.
Snow swirled around the Ice Elf. She first sensed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's aura. Just for a moment, the Ice Elf had a high favor for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, or rather, she was attracted by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's Ice Goddess Halo was attracting her.
The Ice Elf's gaze moved away from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and began to sense Su Xiao.
Thud!
The Ice Elf's head seemed to be hit by a hammer. In a blur, she felt that everything around her was dyed blood-red. A huge blood beast was crouching in front of her. Compared to this blood beast, she was too small. What made her even more terrified was that this blood beast was grinning at her, its mouth full of white, sharp teeth.
The illusion in front of the Ice Elf disappeared. Her first reaction was to escape, to escape from this vicinity immediately.
The sound of wind breaking came, and weight appeared on the Ice Elf's shoulder. A sharp eagle claw grabbed her head. The stinging pain from her head made her whole body tremble.
"If you dare to move, I'll crush your skull."
Baja grabbed the Ice Elf's shoulder with one claw and her head with the other. It tilted its head to look at the Ice Elf, and the red light flashing in its eyes showed that it wasn't joking.
