Chapter 252 Evolution: Intermediate Ice Blessed Body
Four days passed by in a flash.
In the past four days, Gaode was in a very anxious mood.
He watched the cold resistance slowly increase at the speed of a turtle crawling every day, approaching the critical point of 200%.
It is clear that there is only the last 2% progress, but it gives people the feeling of running to death while looking at the mountain, always reaching the "foot of the mountain".
Once or twice, Gothe even wanted to ask Loic to inject a few more needles into his body.
But reason still made him stop this ridiculous idea.
drops of water penetrate the stone.
Although the progress is slow, it is still improving, so there is no need to be too anxious.
Gaode can only comfort himself in this way.
Patience is a virtue.
And he never lacked patience.
The fifth day.
According to what Roic said, they will definitely reach the Zhenbing Tribe today, which is quite different from the expected time.
Sitting on the back of the war horse spirit summoned by Luo Qi, Gothe was in an extremely happy mood at the moment.
First, we are about to reach our destination. It will be a joy to finally end our journey and meet the most powerful and ancient tribe in the entire North.
The second thing is that when I got up in the morning, after a night of hard work, Gaode's cold resistance improvement value had actually reached 199.9%.
No surprise, the 200% critical value can definitely be exceeded today.
Once he breaks through, his Bing Blessing Body should usher in a round of evolution, from elementary level to intermediate level.
Gothe has personally experienced the power of the primary Bingyou body.
Hence, Gaode is naturally looking forward to the higher-level intermediate Ice Blessing Body.
Also, by then, he should be able to completely ignore the shackles of the five forbidden ice needles in his body and no longer be affected by them in the slightest.
The restoration of freedom is naturally a happy event.
Thinking of this, Gaode has quietly activated the mana in his body to trigger the five forbidden ice needles - after a month of adapting and improving his cold resistance to the current level, he can already remain expressionless after triggering the forbidden ice needles.
As Zhen Bing's chill is released, [Adaptive] begins to adapt again.
Of course, the improved value is too small to be displayed, but Gaode can clearly feel the improvement, unlike "Pinduoduo" where no one knows how much is missing.
If you have confidence in your heart, you can naturally persist.
I don’t know how long it took, but at a moment when Gothe didn’t even notice, the cold resistance value that was stuck at 199.9% suddenly jumped to 200.1%.
A familiar but more intense experience than last time suddenly appeared in Gothe's body.
Deep within his body, a warm stream of heat continued to gush out, violently washing away his flesh and blood.
The human body is a treasure house with infinite possibilities and power.
In the words of Gaode's previous life, there are countless powerful genes, but most of them do not appear and express.
The evolution brought about by [Adaptive] is to make these genes express and become stronger.
This time, the heat flow lasted for tens of seconds before it completely ended.
And some inexplicable information has already emerged in Gothe's consciousness:
[Your body has experienced the extreme cold in the world, its cold resistance has been improved again, and it has evolved again. After this evolution, your primary ice-blessed body has evolved into an intermediate ice-blessed body].
【After evolving into an intermediate Ice Blessed Body, your ability to withstand ice elemental damage increases by 27%】
【No longer affected by the negative effects caused by ice element spells at level 4 or below】
【Ice will protect you and bless you. In the ice element environment, your physical strength and energy recovery speed will be increased, and at the same time, the power of the ice element spells you cast will increase by 9%】.
After sensing this information, even though he had long expected the appearance of the intermediate Ice Blessing Body, Gothe couldn't help but feel excited.
Intermediate Ice Blessing Body has a total of three abilities. Needless to say, the first two abilities are some numerical improvements based on the primary Ice Blessing Body.
The beauty of simple numerical values:
27% increase in ice element damage tolerance and immunity to the negative effects of ice element spells below level 4.
With this "value", Gothe believed that ice-born mages of the same level would be extremely desperate when facing him.
As for the newly emerged third ability, it is an addition of mechanism.
The former is to improve his survivability in the ice element environment, while the latter is the most direct and crude "attack power increase".
Although it is limited to ice element spells, the attribute "attack power increase" is noble and practical, and the higher the mage level, the more practical it is:
The power of a trick generally does not exceed 10 degrees at most, and the increase is 9%. To put it bluntly, the increase is less than 1 degree, which is not worth mentioning.
But the guaranteed power of a first-level spell is 20 degrees, and can even reach 40 degrees.
9% of 40 degrees, which is close to 4 degrees, which is equivalent to increasing the power of half a trick.
If the spell level is higher, not to mention the improvement that can be achieved.
After digesting this information, Gao De closed his eyes slightly and carefully felt the changes in his body.
First of all, and the most obvious point, is that he can no longer feel any pain when he triggers the forbidden ice needle.
The ultimate ice cold released by the five forbidden ice needles was not enough to cause harm to his body.
In other words, he has now regained his ability to cast spells.
But there are good and bad aspects. While restoring his spell-casting ability, it also means that these five forbidden ice needles will no longer be able to touch his [Adaptive].
His cold resistance needs to be further improved by using more Forbidden Ice Needles, or a larger piece of Ultimate Ice or even an Ultimate Ice weapon.
On the other hand, Gaode can clearly feel that he is much more sensitive to the ice element in the air.
Just like now, he can faintly feel that the density of ice elements in the air is increasing.
If as expected, this should be a sign of snow, and after a while, there should be snowfall.
This is a very magical intuition, which makes Gothe feel very fresh.
All changes may sound turbulent, but in fact they all happen within Gothe's body.
So even Loic, who was riding a war horse spirit body with Gothe, did not notice even a little change in Gothe.
Roic moved forward as usual, manipulating the war horse spirit body condensed with magic power.
It was only then that he slowed down slightly, turned to Gothe and said, "It's almost here."
People feel refreshed during happy events. Gaode, who had obtained the intermediate-level Ice Blessing Body, took a deep breath of the cold air, looked forward, and his spirits were suddenly shaken.
A rough camp full of wild atmosphere came into view.
As the first tribe in the north, the size of the Zhenbing Tribe’s camp simply exceeded Gothe’s imagination.
It cannot even be called a camp, but should be called a city.
Because it has a tall gray city wall that stands tall and blocks out the danger.
This is the first time Gothe has seen such a "developed" building in this desolate and primitive land in the north.
This city has its own name - Phoenix.
Phoenix is located in a unique geographical location, built on the mountains.
The steep and straight Weskar Mountain not only blocks most of the cold wind, but also provides the Zhenbing Tribe with precious ore resources.
In addition, under the foot of Weskar Mountain, there is also a huge Arctic Lake, which provides sufficient fishery resources for the Zhenbing Tribe.
Five minutes later, Loic and Kathleen brought Gothe to the city wall of Phoenix.
If there is a city wall, there will naturally be a city gate.
If there is a city gate, there are also city guards.
Of course, in the northern border, there is no such thing as "guards" for the time being. At most, they are just guards.
I saw six extremely burly Northerners standing on both sides of the city gate. They were wearing simple armor and shone in the sun.
Those armors appear to Gothe to be very simple, but this is relative to the outside world.
In the North, a "primitive land" where most people wear tailor-made animal skin clothing, armor is already considered an extremely sophisticated piece of equipment.
These guards were armed with spears and their eyes were like torches, questioning the origins of everyone who entered the city.
Roic and Katherine did not jump in line with Gothe, but after canceling [Summoning Mount], they lined up with Gothe calmly.
The guards only asked about the origins of those who entered the city, and did not ask too many questions.
So the team moved forward very quickly, and soon it was their turn.
The northerner who was obviously the leader of the guards glanced at the three of them, and finally his eyes fell on the patterns representing the "Guardians of the Snowfield" embroidered on the clothes of Roic and Kathleen. He slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you from the Guardians of the Snowfield?"
His figure was very oppressive, but his voice was very gentle.
Obviously, the Snowfield Guardians still have a lot of respect in the north, and even the people of the Zhenbing Tribe are also very polite to them.
Roich took a step forward, "We are hunters from the Snowfield Guardian, and we are here to find Elder Grant."
"Then go in." The guard who asked the question looked at the three of them carefully, then waved his hand and skipped the questioning.
"Let's go." Catherine said, strolling towards the city.
Roic immediately followed with Gaode.
"It's also strange. I've never been asked about this before entering Phoenix." Loic muttered casually, but didn't go into details.
As soon as he entered Phoenix, Gothe's eyes were struck by a completely different style from Camp Snover and the edge of Doer.
The buildings here are no longer rough detachable tents, but stone buildings made of gray stones similar to the city walls.
The main body of these buildings is gray stone.
The gray tones form a sharp contrast with the white snowflakes, somewhat like a black and white world.
The gabled roof was covered with furs used to build tents and covered with snow.
Gaode noticed that these stone houses are actually of different sizes and have inconsistent appearance.
Just to the left of a larger stone house near the city gate, a small fence was built with some twigs.
There are some snow pheasants and snowshoe hares in the fence.
Gaode glanced at them and found that they had a total of twenty-five heads and seventy-four legs.
