Chapter 28: Investigating the Grounds of Frost Worship

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Solaka said confidently, “That’s right! According to my research, this is indeed the worship ground for frost elements!”

Then, as expected, Solaka turned his gaze to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan thought to himself, “This is not good. This guy is really going to ask me to send myself to my death!”

“I can’t do it. Don’t look at me. The monsters there are so ferocious. If I go there, death will be my only option!”

“Who said that I wanted you to kill the monsters there? Since that place is the worship ground, the monsters there are naturally not weak, they’re not something you can interfere with.”

Lu Yuan asked in puzzlement, “Then what do you want me to do?”

Solaka said with a sinister tone, “I remember that you have mastered that guy’s skill called Shadow Following or something like that.”

Lu Yuan could not help but be shocked, he did not expect to be seen through by this person.

“So what!”

Solaka continued to say, “Don’t be nervous, I just have a favor to ask of you.”

When he finished saying this sentence, Lu Yuan heard the system notification.

[Alchemist Solaka has issued a hidden mission to you — Investigate the Frost Worship Ground.]

[Mission Requirement]: In the depths of the Frost Cave, there is a worship ground that is related to the composition of the frost elements. Solaka hopes that you can record the route to the worship ground and draw it into a map. The more detailed the map is, the higher the reward will be.

[Mission Reward]: 1,500 EXP, 20 gold coins, Solaka’s gift, unlock the follow-up missions.

[Mission Failure]: Solaka’s favorability -50!

[Time Limit] : 24 hours.

Lu Yuan could not help but be stunned. This was a mission to explore the route.

In simple terms, there was no need to fight monsters. He just needed to explore and record the routes.

Lu Yuan, who had the thieves’ legendary skill, Shadow Following, naturally had nothing to fear.

He directly accepted the mission.

Solaka smiled very cheerfully and said, “Kid, you have the guts! I like it! Go! I’ll wait for you here. This is a magic scroll used to record routes, use this to draw the map. Remember, the time limit is only 24 hours. Don’t exceed the duration!”

Solaka casually threw the magic scroll to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan glanced at Solaka and didn’t say anything.

He left immediately.

After Lu Yuan left Rogge’s Magic Research Institute, only then did Rogge chat with Solaka, “Have you discovered something?”

Solaka smiled craftily and said, “Take a guess?”

The following moments were filled with their private conversation, but Lu Yuan did not have the time to care about those two.

Instead, he had to hurry up and complete this hidden mission.

As time passed, more and more players would slowly enter the main cities.

Therefore, Lu Yuan had to be fast to progress faster than all the other players.

Soon, Lu Yuan entered the Frost Cave again.

[System notification: you have entered the Map — Frost Cave!]

When he entered the Frost Cave again, he found that the number of giant frost apes inside had decreased by a lot.

This was because the monsters needed time to respawn, otherwise, Lu Yuan could farm monsters here indefinitely.

As such, there were no obstacles along the way.

However, when he entered a deeper area, the levels of the giant frost apes that appeared were already very high, they were no longer within the range of Lu Yuan’s abilities.

This time, Lu Yuan first activated Anna’s Blessing which could double the effect of the next skill he used, then only did Lu Yuan enter Stealth state.

With this, Lu Yuan’s Stealth state would last for a full 6 minutes!

It was enough for Lu Yuan to do a lot of things!

Because he had already been here once, Lu Yuan did not hesitate and directly went through the entrance into the Frost Worship Ground.

[System notification: you have entered the Map — Frost Worship Ground!]

Just like last time, the moment he entered, he could see the frost elements floating in the air.

These frost elements were like little elves, slowly floating deeper and deeper into the area.

Lu Yuan did not pay any heed to the giant frost apes that he saw along the way.

The giant frost apes were all over level 30 and were not something he could deal with.

In the middle was an ice bridge formed by an ice block, and there were also some passages.

They were densely packed like a spider web that was intricate and complicated.

No wonder Solaka had asked him to draw a map of this place. It was so complicated.

Lu Yuan looked at the remaining duration of his skill and found that there were still more than four minutes left.

Time was still sufficient.

Lu Yuan continued to explore deeper and recorded the routes along the way.

The magic scroll that Solaka gave him was quite convenient.

It was not a difficult task to do.

Therefore, Lu Yuan’s exploration covered a small half of the area soon. According to his progress, he should’ve covered around 25% of the grounds.

However, when Lu Yuan looked at the remaining duration of his Stealth, there was only more than one minute left, it was not enough!

If he left now, all his efforts would be for naught.

He could only think of a way first.

At this time, the monsters Lu Yuan encountered were already at the question mark levels.

That was to say, he could not see their attributes.

Even so, he could still make the preliminary judgment that these were boss-level monsters.

That was because their names had become the giant frost ape king.

They were creatures with purple fur all over their bodies and were stronger and bigger.

With just a light pat from any one of them, he would be turned into meat paste.

Lu Yuan had to carefully walk past the monsters that he needed to bypass. He could not make them alarmed, otherwise, he would be finished.

If it was not for the fact that Lu Yuan had a thieves’ legendary skill, he would have been discovered countless times already!

Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little time left for his Stealth, Lu Yuan arrived at one of the small platforms.

He did not see any giant frost ape kings near this small platform, it should be a small vacuum zone.

Standing here, Lu Yuan quickly dispelled the Stealth state that was granted to him by Shadow Following, and it entered cooldown.

After +3 upgrades, the cooldown time was only 22 minutes.

Hence, he only needed to wait for 22 minutes before he could enter Stealth again!

Just as Lu Yuan was about to die from waiting, and the cooldown time was about to end in 10 seconds, a giant frost ape king with purple fur all over its body started walking towards Lu Yuan.

The sound of its footsteps on the ice bridge made faint sounds of ice being crushed, but it was very intimidating.

[Giant Frost Ape King] (Boss)

[Level]: ???

[HP]: ???

[Skills]: ???

[Description]: In the depths of the Frost Cave, there are giant frost apes that have absorbed a large amount of frost elements and thus transformed into giant frost ape kings. They possess extremely powerful frost manipulation abilities.

Lu Yuan could not help but curse in his heart!

It turned out that this place was not a blind spot, but a position where the patrolling giant frost ape kings would pass by every half-an-hour!

The giant frost ape king was getting closer and closer!
