Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

After arriving in the northern border, Lin Yi finally understood why even witches and natives were unwilling to set foot here.

The reason is simple: it is too cold, and not in the ordinary sense of the word.

The sun was clearly hanging high in the sky, but the temperature in the north was still below zero degrees, which was really strange.

You know, the temperature suddenly dropped by more than 20 degrees when they crossed the border between the central and northern parts.

"It's a bit weird, but it has nothing to do with us." Lin Yi carefully sensed the elements in the air and found that the other elemental forces in this area had been dispelled, leaving only the power of water element, causing an imbalance of elements in the area.

However, their destination was the Land of Death, and they had no intention of exploring the secrets of the North.

Their destination was a snowfield called Nittany. When they arrived at the snowfield, Bubuwang was the most excited.

According to the information confessed by the two sisters before their death, the place of death is located on an iceberg deep in the north.

In fact, once you reach the Nittany Snowfields, you can no longer see any civilians from the North.

The area of ​​the northern border is three times that of the Central Plains and twice that of the southern border. More than 70 percent of the area here is not suitable for living.

After arriving at the Nittany Snowfield, Lin Yi realized that the daytime temperature here could reach minus 52 degrees Celsius. At such a temperature, spit would freeze into ice before it hits the ground.

Not to mention ordinary clothes, which were frozen into the same texture as pieces of cardboard.

When touched with hands, the frozen clothes shattered into pieces like broken glass.

Fortunately, Lin Yi was wearing a nano-level disaster protective suit (Type X). Although the temperature outside was extremely cold, Lin Yi could still barely withstand it with the help of this protective suit.

Su Xiao was also wearing special cold-proof clothing, and both of them had prepared a lot of similar supplies in their personal spaces.

Lin Yi released holy light defense for the two of them. The shield attached to the body surface resisted the invasion of wind and snow, and at least Lin Yi could feel a slight increase in body temperature.

Bubuwang and Amu didn't care about the temperature at all, and even thought about lying in the snow and taking a nap.

As for Pop Gar, this guy is an elemental creature, and low temperature is not a fatal environment for him.

He only needed to absorb the scattered fire elements in the surrounding air to maintain the normal functioning of his body. However, since the fire elemental power in this area was relatively scarce, the flames on Popgar's body looked a little weak.

The Nittany Snowfield is located in the polar zone, where the night lasts only two to three hours.

The environment here is extremely harsh, but the group still has to continue moving deeper into the snowfield until they reach the Permafrost Sea, a place that even people from the North are unwilling to set foot in.

The three of them had been walking for nearly five hours. After going deep into the snowfield, the temperature not only did not rise at all, but continued to drop.

Lin Yi took out a water bottle from his personal space, but before he could take a sip, the water in the bottle instantly froze into ice cubes.

The temperature now is almost reaching minus 70 degrees Celsius. If ordinary people come here, there is no doubt that they will die.

Even most witches would not set foot in such a haunted place.

Until this moment, Lin Yi finally understood why the function of the Moyi family heirloom was to keep out the cold.

The strength of the Moi family is related to the Land of Death. Considering the cold temperature of the Nittany Snowfield, there is no need for them to guard the Land of Death, or they cannot defend it.

The temperature in the Nittany Snowfield is already so low that if it reaches the permafrost sea, the temperature would be enough to freeze the witch to death.

Although the low temperature in the snowfield is indeed dangerous, fortunately there are basically no living things here. The group only needs to concentrate on getting on their way and does not need to pay too much attention to other aspects.

As the temperature dropped rapidly, Lin Yi and Su Xiao's movements began to slow down.

If observed with the naked eye, there is actually a snowfield ahead, but if you dig up the thick snow, you will find that there is a frozen sea surface underneath.

This place was an ocean in ancient times, but later this sea area was frozen.

As soon as he stepped into the permafrost sea area, Bubuwang shivered violently. Even here, Bubuwang felt the cold, but Am was still in good condition.

Popgar used a secret method to barely prevent the flames on his body from being affected by the low temperature.

Lin Yi exhaled, and a ball of white mist instantly condensed into ice crystals and fell in front of him.

Taking out the thermometer, the bright red reading of minus eighty degrees Celsius told Lin Yi and the others the current ambient temperature.

"The ultimate halo."

Coming here, Lin Yi had to turn on the halo, and the chain of life was also hung on the bodies of three people around him by Lin Yi.

As the ultimate halo lit up, the three people's resistance to cold was significantly improved. Coupled with the recovery of health points, Su Xiao, who originally felt that he was about to be frozen, suddenly felt that the blood flow in his body was much smoother.

Su Xiao patted Bubuwang's back. Bubuwang seemed to think it was shameful to be the king of the snow but afraid of the cold. He shook his head, indicating that he was not cold at all.

Two hours later, the cold wind was howling, and the sound was as mournful as the cry of a ghost.

Although both of them were wearing cold-resistant clothing, the surrounding temperature of minus 105 degrees Celsius was no joke.

Under such temperature conditions, steel will transform from "austenite" to "martensite". Simply put, steel will become as brittle and fragile as glass under such temperature.

The nano-level disaster protection clothing that Lin Yi is wearing can normally withstand a temperature range of minus 120 degrees Celsius. Once this temperature limit is exceeded, the protective effect of the nano-level disaster protection clothing will be greatly reduced.

However, this protective clothing has a special function, which is overload operation.

When overloaded, the maximum protective temperature that the nano-level disaster protective clothing can reach can reach minus 180 degrees Celsius. As a price, the protective clothing will be completely damaged and scrapped after six hours.

chug chu...

A strange sound was heard, and Su Xiao leaned over to look at Bubu Wang in front of him.

"Bubu, put on your warm clothes when it's cold."

"Woof~"

Bubu barked, indicating that it was not cold at all, but the "thump thump thump" sound just now was clearly made by its teeth constantly colliding with each other.

Bubu Wang sniffed his nose quietly. He was actually almost frozen like a dog.

The further we go, the lower the temperature becomes. After going deeper into the permafrost, the temperature drops from minus 105 degrees Celsius to minus 178 degrees Celsius.

At this temperature, not to mention living things, even most special materials would find it difficult to maintain normal conditions.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao have already put away all the equipment they were wearing. At this temperature, even the equipment notarized by the Samsara Paradise may not be able to withstand it.

It can be said that the two of them are now completely relying on their physical fitness to withstand the severe cold.

As for Pope Gar, he had turned into a fireball similar to a will-o'-the-wisp. In this form, his energy consumption was reduced to the minimum. Only in this way could he barely keep up with the two.

With a crisp sound, Su Xiao felt a cold wind blowing into his shoulders, and the hydrogen-nanomicrobial cold-proof suit was frozen and cracked!

Not long after, a sound came from the nano-level disaster protection suit on Lin Yi.

After arriving here, the temperature continued to drop, and the temperature shown on the thermometer was already below minus 180 degrees.

Judging from the current development momentum, if we continue to go deeper into the permafrost, it is not impossible for the temperature to drop to minus 200 degrees Celsius.

As the two moved, large pieces of debris continued to fall off their bodies.

These fragments are all fragments of protective clothing. At the low temperature of minus 197 degrees Celsius, there is no protective clothing that can withstand such extreme low temperatures.

A rumbling sound came from Bubu Wang's mouth. After a while, Lin Yi clenched his teeth. If he didn't do this, he would not be far from making the rumbling sound.

The scene changed over at Am's place. He was chewing on a leg of animal. The texture of the meat was similar to that of a soda cracker, very crisp. Looking at Am's appearance, he seemed to be on vacation in an extremely cold region...

"Oh, by the way, the formation diagram inside Am's body has been reconstructed. The ice energy here has absolutely no effect on Am." Lin Yi said to Am with his arms folded in front of his chest.

After the reconstruction, Eminem is least afraid of this kind of cold area.

After hearing this, Su Xiao had already made a plan in his mind. If the temperature dropped to an extreme level in the later stage, Su Xiao planned to freeze himself and Lin Yi in ice to maintain their body temperature, and then let Am take the two of them to the land of death.

We continued to move forward in the cold wind and snow. We could no longer ride Bubuwang because the energy consumed by riding would cause his body temperature to drop, which would kill him. After three hours of moving forward, the temperature reached minus 225 degrees Celsius.

Lin Yi, who was moving forward, began to feel the bone-chilling cold. Bubuwang kept running in circles to increase the heat in his body, and Popgal had even hidden inside Am's body to avoid the cold.

Such a temperature can be called a true place of death. If people with a physical fitness below 80 points come here, the blood in their bodies will be instantly frozen into ice chips, and they will die.

"It's around here."

Lin Yi gently patted the snow on his head. According to Mo Yinola, the place of death was on an iceberg, and that iceberg was in this nearby area.

It didn't take them too long to search, as they saw the iceberg in the snow.

To be precise, it is hard not to see it. This iceberg is so high, conservatively estimated to be several thousand meters high, and its length is so long that you can't see the end at a glance.

After arriving under the iceberg, Lin Yi took a look at the temperature measuring device in his hand and threw it away, because the temperature had exceeded the limit and was fixed at minus 235 degrees Celsius.

"Let's go."

Lin Yi exhaled, veins popped out on the back of his hand, and with a crisp sound, his five fingers pierced into the ice.

It’s not that Lin Yi doesn’t want to use tools, it’s just that the mountaineering tools they prepared are made of ordinary materials.

In such a low temperature environment, once this tool is taken out, it will instantly become more fragile than ice. In this case, it would be better for them to climb the iceberg with their own bodies.

Bubuwang barked twice, which meant that he would not go up with them.

Now the physical fitness of several people has reached its limit. If Bubu Wang still wants to climb up, it will only cause trouble.

Su Xiao nodded slightly, indicating Bubu Wang to hide here and wait for them to come down and meet up after they finished their business.

Lin Yi had just climbed up a dozen meters when he noticed the temperature dropping sharply, and a layer of ice crystals instantly condensed on his body surface.

Click, click...

The two of them slowly climbed up the iceberg, white air constantly coming out of their mouths, and the stinging sensation caused by their fingers touching the solid ice was particularly obvious.

In this situation, the two could not climb up quickly. The higher they went, the lower the temperature would be. If they suddenly increased the altitude here, they would most likely be frostbitten by the sudden drop in temperature, or even be frozen into ice and then fall from the iceberg and break into pieces.

Fortunately, Lin Yi is here. Although such low temperatures will cause the health value to continue to decline, the speed of decline is ultimately slower than Lin Yi's blood recovery speed, so there is no need to worry about being frozen to death halfway up the mountain for the time being.

The higher you climb, the lower the visibility.

The cold wind howled like a ghost, and the flying snow reduced visibility to less than two meters.

Su Xiao controlled the power of the Blue Steel Shadow to form a crystal layer on his body surface to assist him in climbing.

Lin Yi continuously released the Hercules Shield under the feet of the two people as insurance. Once an emergency occurred, the Hercules Shield would catch the falling person.

However, the duration of the Hercules Shield began to decrease significantly, and it could only last about two minutes, and then it would shatter due to the extremely low temperature.

Lin Yi had an object that looked like a bead in his mouth. It was a rare item he bought from the Blue Chamber of Commerce. It could produce oxygen just by putting it in the mouth.

Since arriving in the permafrost area, there has been no trace of oxygen in the air.

The low temperature below minus 200 degrees Celsius causes the structure of oxygen molecules to change and begin to transform into liquid state. As long as there is enough pressure, liquid oxygen can be formed.

The physical fitness of both of them is close to the limit of the fourth level, but that doesn't mean they don't need oxygen.

Su Xiao doesn't have convenient things like Lin Yi. He holds a can of compressed oxygen in his hand, and once he senses that he is lacking oxygen, he will take a breath.

After taking a deep breath, the miniature oxygen tank in Su Xiao's hand was covered with cracks, and then with a crisp sound, the tank broke open.

I really don’t know how the people of the Moi family managed to survive in such a hellish place. No wonder they were so confident about the land of death. Without thorough preparation, even if a fifth-stage witch came here, she would never come back.

Just like that, the two began to climb slowly upwards, and before they knew it, they had climbed to a height of more than 100 meters. But for this iceberg that was several thousand meters high, this was just the beginning.

Am followed below the two of them. The low temperature around had no effect on it at all. It looked around constantly as if it was on vacation.

After climbing just over a hundred meters, Lin Yi began to notice that the temperature had dropped again. The cold penetrated into his bones. This was not a metaphor. The whistling cold wind was like a sharp razor, scraping through his bones.

After climbing for a while, Lin Yi and Su Xiao stopped climbing.

The two people could no longer sense the cold, and instead felt a little warmth.

Su Xiao and Lin Yi both knew that this feeling was not because the surrounding temperature had risen, but was a sign that they were about to freeze to death.

In an extremely cold environment, you will feel a sense of warmth because the body's protective mechanism is activated.

When the human body is exposed to an extremely cold environment for a long time, in order to prevent the core body temperature from falling too low, the body will actively reduce blood flow in the peripheral blood vessels to reduce heat loss.

In this situation, the extremities such as the hands and feet may feel increasingly cold, while the core parts of the body may feel warm because the blood flow is relatively concentrated there.

Under the stimulation of extreme cold, nerve endings may produce a reverse signal, causing the brain to misjudge it as a warm feeling, which is actually a sensory illusion.

The two of them are now in this situation, so they have to take a break, otherwise they will really freeze to death on the road.

According to the plan made before, Lin Yi released four or five layers of Hercules Shield under the feet of the two people for protection. At the same time, Su Xiao signaled to Am to let it come up.

When Am came closer, Lin Yi released a rope woven with dark soul silk and hung the two of them on Am.

In such a low temperature environment, the material of ordinary ropes will change in a very short time. Only ropes like Dark Soul Silk, which are produced by special skills, will not be affected by the surrounding temperature.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao did not stop there, but used the Hercules Shield to build a small house and kept pouring water on the inside of the Hercules Shield.

Two minutes later, when the Hercules' shield was broken, an ice house suddenly appeared under Am.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao had covered the ice house with animal skins to keep it warm. At the same time, Popgal ran into the ice house from Am's body and began to absorb the few fire elements in the air for the two of them to raise the temperature in the house.

Su Xiao even took out a piece of fire gold solution and placed it in the air.

As the temperature of the pyrometallurgical solution gradually spread, the temperature inside the igloo finally began to rise slowly, and before long the temperature rose to about minus 150 degrees Celsius.

After the temperature began to rise, Lin Yi and Su Xiao began to feel a tingling pain on their body surfaces.

Fortunately, the stinging sensation soon subsided, and the two people's bodies that were almost frozen gradually regained consciousness, giving them a feeling of being alive again.

Although the health value is still maintained above 90%, in this case, the health value can no longer be used as a standard to measure the physical condition.

Am dragged the two of them and climbed up the iceberg.

It can indeed ignore the cold environment, but Lin Yi and Su Xiao will not let Am do all the climbing work for them.

It’s not that they want to complete some “extreme cold trial”, but they must allow their bodies to gradually adapt to the surrounding temperature environment. Otherwise, even if they reach the top of the mountain, they may freeze to death there.

Am's climbing speed was much faster than the other two. After a while, he had climbed to a height of nearly one thousand meters.

"Moo~"

Hearing Am's voice, Lin Yi and Su Xiao stretched their bodies, then left the ice house and reappeared on the snow mountain.

As the biting cold wind howled, the two of them continued to climb upwards against the cold wind.

2600 meters, 2700 meters, 2800 meters, 2900 meters, as the altitude continues to increase, the difficulty of climbing is also increasing.

With a snap, the ice in Su Xiao's hand shattered. Fortunately, there was Lin Yi's Hercules shield below to catch it, which ensured that Su Xiao did not fall from the height.

White steam rose repeatedly in Lin Yi's clothes. When he climbed to an altitude of about 3000 meters, the temperature actually rose to about minus degrees Celsius.

Perhaps the extreme coldness of this permafrost is not naturally caused, but is caused by something special under the sea.

When Lin Yi climbed to 4000 meters, he took a deep breath, because there was already a thin layer of oxygen here, indicating that the temperature had risen above minus degrees Celsius, which was undoubtedly good news. (End of this chapter)
