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

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

n

n

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

n“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!”

n“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.”

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

n

n

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

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

n“So what!”

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

n

n

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

nAlchemist Solaka has issued a hidden mission to you — Investigate the Frost Worship Ground.

nMission 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.

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

nMission Failure: Solaka’s favorability -50!

nTime Limit : 24 hours.

n

n

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

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

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

nHe directly accepted the mission.

nSolaka 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!”

nSolaka casually threw the magic scroll to Lu Yuan.

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

nHe left immediately.

n

n

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

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

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

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

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

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

nSoon, Lu Yuan entered the Frost Cave again.

nSystem notification: you have entered the Map — Frost Cave!

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

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

nAs such, there were no obstacles along the way.

nHowever, 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.

nThis 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.

n

n

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

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

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

nSystem notification: you have entered the Map — Frost Worship Ground!

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

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

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

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

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

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

nNo wonder Solaka had asked him to draw a map of this place. It was so complicated.

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

nTime was still sufficient.

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

nThe magic scroll that Solaka gave him was quite convenient.

nIt was not a difficult task to do.

nTherefore, 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.

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

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

nHe could only think of a way first.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

nAfter 3 upgrades, the cooldown time was only 22 minutes.

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

n…

nJust 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.

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

nGiant Frost Ape King (Boss)

nLevel: ???

nHP: ???

nSkills: ???

nDescription: 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.

n…

nLu Yuan could not help but curse in his heart!

nIt 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!

nThe giant frost ape king was getting closer and closer!
