Chapter 307: Power of Extreme Cold
"Crackle—"
Electric light flickered, and under the Thundercloud's lightning attack, the ice-blue giant snail fell to the ground.
"What a difficult fierce beast."
P
As the two worked together to kill the giant snail, the task completion prompt sounded in Jia Na's ear.
【Today's Task: Complete one ice field hunt:
Task Reward: 200 points of talent experience, 800 points of skill experience, Perception +0.1;】
"Jia Na, when did you contract this lightning-attribute summoned creature?"
Looking at the Thundercloud, which had changed back from its "dark cloud form" to its "white cloud form," Vivian, who had slithered over to Jia Na's side, couldn't help but look a little conflicted.
"Just a few weeks ago, you were in seclusion at that time."
"Is that so?"
After this battle, Vivian deeply understood the power of Jia Na's newly contracted creature. Therefore, she began to suspect that Jia Na might have gone easy on her during the apprentice sparring class in Black Magic Defense.
"Of course it's true."
Dispelling the power of the contract and sending the Thundercloud back to the Spirit World, Jia Na still replied calmly to Vivian's question.
Having known Vivian for so long, Jia Na naturally knew what she was concerned about.
Although Jia Na's original intention was indeed to let Vivian lose less miserably by appropriately holding back, when faced with her questioning, Jia Na could only continue to tell a white lie. Otherwise, with Vivian's tendency to overthink, she would definitely suffer internal turmoil for a long time.
"Let's go quickly, or Mr. Hermann will be getting impatient."
While the two were fighting, Hermann-Rose remained above the Frost and snow, overlooking their movements.
"Hiss—"
A hissing sound rose, and Vivian once again flicked her snake tail, slithering towards Hermann-Rose. Seeing this, Jia Na also cast Elementary Transformation again, turning into a withered leaf butterfly and landing on Vivian's hair to continue "hitching a ride."
"It's down there."
After traveling for about an hour, led by Hermann-Rose, Vivian and Jia Na stopped at the edge of a snowy plain canyon.
"The boundary between the Extreme Cold Secret Realm and the Netherworld is at the bottom of the canyon."
Hearing this, Jia Na also returned to her human form and looked down at the bottomless valley.
"We must return to the top of the canyon within an hour."
Hearing Hermann-Rose's words, Jia Na also nodded.
Because the Sun Badge needs to be recharged every three hours, by now, the Sun Badge could only last for two hours.
In other words, if Jia Na hadn't left the Extreme Cold Secret Realm after two hours, she would be at risk of being frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Let's go. If you can't bear it, I'll bring you up."
Saying this, Hermann-Rose leaped, jumping directly into the depths of the canyon, showing no intention of helping the two of them.
"Is Mr. Hermann always like this?"
Even though there was only an hour, Hermann-Rose still didn't intend to take them down or help save time.
"Everyone in our family is like this. Unless you beg him, everyone does their own thing. It's okay, I can still climb down from this height, it just takes a little time."
Saying this, Vivian was about to have Jia Na jump onto her back, preparing to carry her down directly.
"How did I not know that Cossina Snakes are also good at rock climbing?"
Seeing that Vivian really intended to carry her down, Jia Na's expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
"Of course, it's all forced out. Otherwise, what else can we do?"
Exhaling a long breath, and after looking down into the canyon bottom again, Jia Na silently took out the green field wand she rarely used.
"This time, let me carry you."
After speaking, she lightly waved her wand, and two grayish-white vines, controlled by Jia Na, grew out from the edge of the canyon and then tied around their waists respectively.
"Jia Na, you're not thinking of swinging down using this thing, are you?"
Looking at Vivian's difficult expression, Jia Na calmly returned a smile.
"Don't worry, these two vines are cold-resistant varieties that I specifically selected. They won't freeze and break in a short time."
"No, I mean—"
Whoosh whoosh Before Vivian could finish her telepathic message, the two vines grew rapidly, then pulled them up, and directly threw them towards the bottom of the canyon. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
The vines grew wildly. As the two were rapidly falling, two more vines grew steadily from the cliff face,
catching them, then throwing them down again like a shot put, repeating the cycle.
"Jia Na, isn't this move of yours a bit too exciting?" The whistling wind constantly swept past their ears. To reduce the load on the vines, Vivian also changed back from her half-human, half-snake state to human form. At the same time, she didn't forget to cast several layers of defensive Witchcraft on herself.
"The more exciting part is down below!"
As their acceleration increased, the sound of the wind during the fall had already torn their voices apart, scattering them into every corner of the canyon.
"Growth—"
Just as their faces were about to touch the ground, suddenly, two giant white lotus-shaped flowers bloomed from the bottom of the cliff, steadily catching the rapidly falling two.
"Crack—"
However, because their acceleration was too great, the stems of the two giant lotuses also broke due to the load after catching them, and then fell straight to the ground.
"Your speed is a bit faster than I imagined."
At the bottom of the canyon, looking at the slightly disheveled two, Hermann-Rose's tone couldn't help but hold a hint of surprise.
"It's indeed very fast—so fast we almost fell to our deaths."
After roughly tidying her somewhat messy hair, Vivian's gaze towards Jia Na couldn't help but contain a hint of resentment.
"You won't. Even if you jumped directly from the top of the canyon, I could still catch you steadily."
Similarly, smoothing her slightly messy long hair, Jia Na's expression when answering Vivian was still calm. However, looking at the Frost constantly condensing on her body, Jia Na couldn't help but shiver while gripping the Sun Badge tightly.
"Father, is this the coldest place in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm you mentioned?"
"That's right."
Vivian, who could also feel the extreme cold, immediately changed back to her Cossina Snake bloodline form the moment she landed.
However, even so, Vivian's body gradually became sluggish, and even her entire snake tail began to accumulate a thick layer of Frost.
