Above the mage!

Chapter 252 Evolution: Intermediate Ice Blessing Body

Four days flew by.

During these four days, Gao De was extremely anxious.

Every day he watched his cold resistance improve slowly at a turtle's pace, approaching the critical point of 200%.

It is clearly just the last 2% of progress, but it gives people a feeling of running to the top of a mountain and never reaching the "foot of the mountain".

There were one or two times when Godard even wanted to ask Loitch to give him a few more injections.

However, reason still made him stop this ridiculous idea.

Water drips through stone.

Although the progress is slow, it is still improving, so there is no need to be too anxious.

Gao De could only comfort himself in this way.

Patience is a virtue.

And he never lacked patience.

Day .

According to Roychi, they will definitely reach the Zhenbing Tribe today, which is almost the same as expected.

Sitting on the back of the warhorse spirit summoned by Loichi, Gode was in great joy at the moment.

First, we are about to reach our destination and can finally put an end to our journey and see the most powerful and ancient tribe in the entire North, which will naturally make us happy.

Second, when I woke up in the morning, after a night of hard work, Gaode's cold resistance value had actually reached 199.9%.

If nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely be able to break through the critical value of 200% today.

Once he breaks through, his icy body should usher in a new round of evolution, from elementary to intermediate level.

Gao De has personally experienced the power of the primary Bingyou body.

Therefore, Gao De was naturally looking forward to the higher-level intermediate ice body.

In addition, 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 at all.

Regaining freedom is naturally a happy thing.

Thinking of this, Gao De has quietly mobilized the magic power in his body to trigger the five forbidden ice needles - after a month of adaptation and his cold resistance has been improved to the current level, he can already keep a straight face after triggering the forbidden ice needles.

As the chill of Zhenbing was released, [Adaptation] began to adapt once again.

Of course, the increased value is too small to be displayed, but Gaode can clearly feel the increase, unlike Pinduoduo where no one knows how much is left.

If you have a clear idea in mind, you will naturally be able to persevere.

I don't know how long it took, but before Godel even noticed, the cold resistance value that was stuck at 199.9% suddenly jumped to 200.1%.

A familiar experience, but more intense than last time, suddenly appeared in Gode's body.

Deep inside his body, a warm current continued to flow out, violently washing over his flesh and blood.

The human body is a treasure trove of infinite possibilities and power.

To use what Gaode said in his previous life, there are countless powerful genes, but most of them are not manifested or expressed.

The evolution brought about by [adaptation] is to allow these genes to be expressed and become stronger.

This time, the heat flow lasted for dozens of seconds before it completely ended.

And some inexplicable information has already emerged in Gaode's consciousness:

[Your body has experienced the world's extreme cold, and your cold resistance has increased again, and it has evolved once again. After this evolution, your primary ice-protected body has evolved into an intermediate ice-protected body].

[After evolving into an intermediate ice-protected body, your ability to withstand ice elemental damage increases by 27%].

[No longer affected by the negative effects of ice spells of fourth ring and below].

[Ice will protect you and bless you. In the ice element environment, your physical strength and energy recovery speed will be improved. At the same time, the power of the ice element spells you cast will be increased by 9%].

Feeling this information, even though Gao De had already anticipated the appearance of the intermediate Ice Protector Body, he still couldn't help but get excited.

The intermediate Ice-protected Body has a total of three abilities. Needless to say, the first two abilities are just some numerical improvements based on the primary Ice-protected Body.

The beauty of simple numbers:
Increases the ability to withstand ice elemental damage by 27% and provides immunity to the negative effects of ice elemental spells below the fourth level.

With this "number", Gaode believed that an Ice Mage of the same level would be extremely desperate when facing him.

As for the newly emerged third ability, it is an addition to the mechanism.

The former is to improve his survivability in the ice element environment, while the latter is the most direct and brutal "attack power improvement".

Although limited to ice element spells, the attribute of "increased attack power" is noble and practical, and the higher the level of the mage, the more practical it is:
The power of a trick usually does not exceed 10 degrees at most, so a 9% increase is, to put it bluntly, less than a 1-degree increase, which is not worth mentioning.

However, the minimum power of a first-level spell is 20 degrees, and can even reach 40 degrees.

40% of 9 degrees is close to 4 degrees, which is equivalent to increasing the power of half a trick.

If the spell level is increased, the improvement that can be achieved will be even greater.

After digesting this information, Gao De closed his eyes slightly and carefully felt the changes in his body.

The first and most obvious point is that when he triggers the forbidden ice needles again, he no longer feels any pain.

The icy cold released by the five forbidden ice needles was not enough to cause damage to his body. In other words, he had now regained his ability to cast spells.

However, there are pros and cons. While his ability to cast spells is restored, it also means that these five forbidden ice needles will no longer be able to trigger his [Adaptation].

If he wants to further improve his cold resistance, he will need more forbidden ice needles, or larger pieces of true ice or even true ice weapons.

In addition, Gao De could clearly feel that his ability to perceive the ice element in the air had become much more sensitive.

Just like now, he could faintly feel that the density of ice elements in the air was increasing.
If things go as expected, this should be a sign of snow, and it should snow in a while.

This is a magical intuition that makes Gaode feel extremely fresh.

All the changes seem turbulent, but in fact they are all happening within Gaode's body.

Therefore, even Loychi, who was riding on the same warhorse spirit as Gode, did not notice even the slightest change in Gode.

As usual, Roychi controlled the warhorse spirit formed by magic power and moved forward.

Only then did he slow down a little, turned around and said to Gao De: "We are almost there."

People feel refreshed when good things happen to them. Gao De, who had obtained an intermediate ice-protected body, took a deep breath of the cold air, looked forward, and was suddenly shocked.

A rough camp filled with a wild atmosphere came into view.

As the first tribe in the North, the size of the Zhenbing tribe's camp was beyond Gaode's imagination.

It can't even be called a camp, it should be called a city.

Because it has a tall gray wall that stands tall and isolates the danger outside.

In this desolate and primitive land of the North, it was the first time that Gaode saw such "developed" buildings.

This city has its own name - Phoenix.

Phoenix has a unique geographical location, built on the mountain.

The steep and straight Weiskar Mountain not only blocks most of the cold wind, but also provides precious mineral resources for the Zhenbing Tribe.

In addition, at the foot of Mount Weiskar, there is a huge Arctic Ice Lake, which provides sufficient fishery resources for the Zhenbing Tribe.

Five minutes later, Loic and Catherine brought Gold to the wall of Phoenix.

Where there are city walls, there must be city gates.

Where there are city gates, there are city guards.

Of course, in the North, there is no such thing as "guards" for the time being, at most they are just guards.

There were six extremely burly northerners standing on both sides of the city gate. They were wearing simple armor that gleamed faintly in the sunlight.

Those armors seemed very simple to Gaode, but this was relative to the outside world.

In the North, a "primitive land" where most people wear tailored animal skins, armor is considered extremely sophisticated equipment.

These guards, armed with spears and with sharp eyes, questioned the origins of everyone entering the city.

Royci and Catherine did not cut in line with God, but after canceling the [Summon Mount], they lined up with God very obediently.

The guards only asked about the origins of those entering the city and did not ask any further 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 people, and finally his eyes fell on the pattern representing the "Guardian of the Snowfield" embroidered on the clothes of Loic and Catherine. His brows slightly raised, "Are you from the Guardian of the Snowfield?"

His figure was very intimidating, but his voice was very gentle.

Apparently, the Snowfield Guardians still hold great respect in the North, and even the people of the Zhenbing Tribe are very polite to them.

Roychi took a step forward and said, "We are hunters of the Snowfield Guardian. We are here to find Elder Grant."

"Then go in." The guard who was questioning looked at the three people carefully, then waved his hand and skipped the questioning process.

"Let's go." Catherine said, walking towards the city.

Loichi immediately followed with God.

"It's strange. There has never been any questioning about this aspect when trying to enter Phoenix before." Loichi muttered casually, but did not go into details.

As soon as he entered Phoenix, Gode's eyes were struck by a landscape that was completely different from that of Snover Camp and Dor Border.

The buildings here are no longer rough detachable tents, but stone buildings built with gray stones similar to the city walls.

The buildings are mainly made of gray stone.

The gray tones form a sharp contrast with the white snowflakes, giving a feeling of a black and white world.

The gabled roof was covered with furs used to build tents and covered with snow.

Gao De noticed that these stone houses were actually of different sizes and did not have uniform 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 snow rabbits kept in the fence.

Gao De took a quick look and found that they had a total of twenty-five heads and seventy-four legs.
