Chapter 38: Solaka’s Follow-up Mission

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

He did not expect it to be another hidden mission.

Lu Yuan accepted it immediately.

Looking at the mission requirements, it seems that he was still required to investigate the worship grounds, but he did not need to record the route, he only needed to investigate the anomalies.

It was just that the number of grounds he had to investigate was a little too much. There were five of them, was Solaka trying to tire him out?

Moreover, the time limit was 24 hours.

Fortunately, after leveling up, Lu Yuan’s Stealth state by using his Shadow Following skill could reach 200 seconds, and the cooldown was only 20 minutes.

This was also one of the main sources of Lu Yuan’s confidence.

“Good kid! You have guts! Come and take a look!”

Solaka showed the map on the table to Lu Yuan.

It was a map of the surroundings of Amber City. On it, the red circles marked the locations of the Frost Worship Grounds.

With the specific locations, the mission would be relatively easy, since he just needed to go there directly.

“These are the locations of the Frost Worship Grounds that were discovered after exploration. You need to investigate them.”

Rogge said from the side, “Recently, these monsters have been making abnormal movements frequently. They have already exceeded their range of activity. This goes against the conclusion on creature movements. I suspect that it has something to do with the Heart of Frost in the Frost Worship Grounds. You have to be more careful.”

Lu Yuan silently recorded the marked locations and said, “Of course.”

With this, Lu Yuan left Rogge’s Magic Research Institute.

He replenished his HP and MP, then quickly left the city.

According to the markings on the map, the five Frost Worship Grounds were not very far away.

The distance was not any further compared to the Frost Cave that he had gone to last time.

Basically, the places were all related to monsters with frost elements.

Soon, Lu Yuan arrived at one of the Frost Worship Grounds.

It was a mine that used to produce a type of ore, but because of the snowstorm, it had collapsed.

Hence, it was abandoned.

As such, some frost element moles had occupied the place.

Lu Yuan carefully sneaked in.

Two patrolling moles came from the front.

[Frost Mole] (Elite)

[Level]: 20

[HP]: 3,000

[Skills]: Bite, Icicle, Ice Stab, Ice Prison

[Description]: A group of moles that originally lived in the mine was unexpectedly eroded by the frost. They evolved with the power of frost and are extremely ferocious.

Hm? The moles are patrolling as well?

Lu Yuan remembered that in the Frost Cave he went to last time, the giant frost apes seemed to be patrolling as well.

This made Lu Yuan feel a little surprised.

Since when did monsters become so intelligent?

Lu Yuan ignored them and directly entered the Shadow Following state. His figure disappeared into the void.

For the time being, the mission was just to conduct investigations. Therefore, if he could choose to not alarm the creatures within the grounds, he would do so.

The worst thing that could happen was that if the creatures were suddenly alarmed, it might activate some kind of defense mechanism. At that time, it would only be more troublesome.

Lu Yuan directly ignored the two patrolling moles and went forward to explore.

[System notification: You have entered the Map, Frost Worship Ground!]

It was the name Frost Worship Ground again.

Lu Yuan looked around. Frost elements were floating in the air which gradually drifted into the depths.

It was just like what he had seen last time.

These frost elements should be gathering toward the Heart of Frost in the deepest part of the area.

Therefore, Lu Yuan just followed the frost elements along the way.

On the way, Lu Yuan found that the frost moles were very vigilant.

Every section of the road was guarded by a frost mole.

There were also patrols.

With such defense, they could cover a large area, leaving no spot unguarded.

This was terrifying.

“Who is the designer of all this? He actually designed the defense to such an extent. Was he afraid that players would sneak in and assassinate him?” Lu Yuan could not help but ridicule in his heart.

Fortunately, he had the Shadow Follower skill and thus would not be discovered.

This map was not as big as the Frost Cave from before.

The duration of his Stealth state was sufficient.

Hence, Lu Yuan quickly reached the depths of the area.

In front of him, there were ice cubes formed from various types of frost, and they were spread out like a spider web.

In the middle of the spider web, there was a pink ice crystal, which looked like a heart.

As expected, right in front was indeed a heart of ice crystals, just like what he had seen in the Frost Cave.

This was what Solaka and Rogge called the Heart of Frost.

Under the Heart of Frost, there were many moles making offerings and worshipping.

These moles seemed to be of higher levels and seemed to be moles that had mutated into bosses.

Lu Yuan casually recorded these anomalies, and with this, he received a notification from the system.

[System notification: Current mission progress has been updated. Investigate the Frost Worship Grounds (1/5)!]

With this, he had completed the investigation of one of the locations.

Lu Yuan did not stay any longer. Taking advantage of the little time left for his Stealth state, he quickly left the mine.

Then, he headed to the next location to investigate.

According to the map given by Solaka, the next location was at the bottom of a broken cliff, where there was also a Frost Worship Ground.

[System notification: You have entered the Map, the Broken Cliff’s Frost Worship Ground!]

After receiving this system notification, Lu Yuan knew that he was not in the wrong place.

Additionally, he had confirmed that frost elements that were glowing with a pale blue light were appearing before him.

The characteristics of the frost elements were very obvious. They floated in the air and were slowly floating into the depths.

Lu Yuan had just taken a few steps forward when he saw monsters patrolling once again.

They were skeletons.

[Frost Skeleton] (Elite)

[Level]: 25

[HP]: 5,000

[Skills]: Frost Manipulation, Slash, Frost Power, Frost Fury.

[Description]: Originally, they were a group of undead sleeping at the bottom of the cliff. However, due to their absorption of the power of the frost element, they have undergone an abnormal evolution and now possess the power of the frost elements. They are extremely ferocious.

...

The bones of the skeletons were glowing with pale blue light.

This should be the power of the frost elements.

As expected, it was also the symbol of one’s absorption of the power of the frost elements.

Lu Yuan silently pondered in his heart and quickly understood.

The levels of this kind of monster were too high. They were not something he could deal with for the time being.

After thinking it thoroughly, with a sway of his figure, Lu Yuan directly disappeared into the void.

He immediately activated the Shadow Following skill and entered the Stealth state.

After bypassing the frost skeletons, Lu Yuan continued forward to explore.
