Elemental War Field - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 Ice Crystal Forest

Looking around, all the scenery that can be brought into the eye is transparent ice crystals. This is a special forest, and ice crystals are everything here.

Ice crystal trees, ice crystal animals, ice crystal ground, ice crystal buildings, everything about ice crystals.

Even though he had been to the Ice Crystal Forest, after a long time, when he saw it again, Rose’s heart was still full of shock. This is a world created by magic, like an exquisite handicraft.

“This is the Ice Crystal Forest.”

Kevin didn’t know that Rose already knew the ice crystal forest very well, and he explained the situation of the ice crystal forest to Rose carefully.

“There is a very peculiar rule in this place. It will constantly erode any life that enters this area, turning them into ice crystals like this one.”

“When we first stepped into the ice crystal forest, because we were not familiar with the rules here, many soldiers had turned into ice crystals and stayed here forever.”

“Look over there.” Kevin pointed to a human-shaped ice sculpture not far away.

“He was the first group of soldiers I brought into the ice crystal forest. After we discovered the anomaly, we tried to evacuate the ice crystal forest, but unfortunately he did not run out in the end.”

“According to our test, people of different strengths can withstand erosion to different degrees. Ordinary bronze soldiers, who stay here for no more than twelve spells in a row, will crystallize their bodies, while ordinary silver soldiers will You can stick to about sixteen magic hours. You step into this place on the first day. Don’t go too deep to avoid untimely retreat after your body crystallizes.”

Rose glanced at his information panel, and there was indeed a crystallization progress bar on it, but the crystallization speed was very slow, and it was less than one percent for the time being.

The crystallization speed of the ice crystal forest is inversely proportional to the individual’s strength. Rose estimated that with his own strength, the crystallization progress will advance by 5% with each magic, but this does not mean that he can be in it. Maintained full combat effectiveness for twenty hours.

In fact, the crystallization here will slowly reduce the combat effectiveness. It is like a weak debuff. Every time the body’s crystallization level increases by 1%, the strength will be weakened by 1%. When the crystallization level exceeds 8% At ten, it will even affect the release of magic and vindictiveness.

Before the degree of crystallization reaches 100%, as long as it leaves the regular envelope of this area, the degree of crystallization will slowly fall. Once the degree of crystallization reaches 100%, it means that it is completely assimilated by the rules here, and there is no possibility of leaving.

According to the player’s words, this copy is actually a racing copy. If it can’t be opened within the specified time, it can only be destroyed.

“After many years of exploration, we found that the power of crystallization can be shielded with the heart of the shelter. The advance base that the Legion had arranged here before used the heart of the shelter to shield the power of crystallization. We had a few battles with the crystallized creatures in the forward base, and finally gained a foothold. With our evacuation, the forward base was also breached by the crystallized creatures. We need to re-establish the forward base inside.” Wen said.

Rose nodded, the scope of the ice crystal forest is too large, the powerful ice crystal giant tortoise is entrenched in the depths of the forest, if there is no suitable forward base as a springboard, when they see the ice crystal giant tortoise, the crystallization is enough to weaken nearly half. Strength, there is no way to fight, you can only retreat immediately, and pray that you will not encounter ice crystal creatures on the way to retreat, otherwise there is a danger of being completely crystallized.

Kevin took out a prismatic crystal, glowing silver in the palm of his hand.

“This time I carry the heart of a sanctuary with me. We can build a temporary foothold nearby. After you get familiar with the environment here, we will move forward.”

Kevin asked Rose for advice in a questioning tone.

“No!” Rose shook his head, “The heart of the sanctuary is too slow to accumulate energy. If you build a temporary foothold here, at least seven days will be wasted. I suggest going directly to the abandoned forward base.”

As for the ice crystal forest, Ross knows no less than Kevin. He is already thinking about whether he can use the two-month rest time to kill the giant ice crystal tortoise and give the task of “Occupying the Ice Crystal Forest” finished.

Kevin did not object to Rose’s proposal. With the strength of the three of them, as long as they did not provoke the giant ice crystal turtle, the only thing that threatened them from this ice crystal forest was the power of crystallization.

After unifying their opinions, the three of them continued to walk into the depths of the ice crystal forest, and Kevin suddenly said.

“Ross, do you know why the legionnaire threw you into the ice forest?”

“Block the news and exercise your strength at the same time.” Rose said.

There are many people in the Legion, and there must be spies lurking in the Red Maple Legion. Only the Ice Crystal Forest, a restricted area of life, can completely eliminate the existence of spies. Rose naturally thought of Ossirian’s purpose.

“That’s only part of the reason.” Kevin shook his head and said: “In this battle, although the Legion destroyed the Toxic Cave and repelled the Red Maple Legion’s offensive, the death penalty and the [Burning Guard] have been The generals’ inventory was almost emptied.”

“The main source of income for the Legion before was mainly at several forward bases in the Ice Crystal Forest. A large amount of funds was obtained through [Ice Crystal Essence]. Now the forward base here has been withdrawn, and the Legion’s income has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer able to afford large-scale. battle.”

“In the decisive battle two months later, if the Legion wants to be equipped with enough [Burning Guards], not only will the No. 1 laboratory have to work overtime for production, the gap in the army’s military expenditure is the biggest difficulty, even if it overdrafts the army next year. Funding, I am afraid that it will not be able to solve the current plight of the Legion.”

Kevin was very straightforward, and Rose reacted in an instant. Ossirian used them as coolies for mining and subsidized the expenses of the Legion.

“In fact, if you want to solve the military difficulty, you don’t have to be so troublesome.” Rose said with a smile.

“Do you have a way?” Kevin was taken aback for a moment, and the army’s military expenditure was not a small figure.

A huge army of thousands of people needs to consume a lot of gold coins and resources, whether it is daily consumption, armament maintenance, alchemy equipment replacement, or combat death compensation, although the meritorious system relieves a large part of the pressure, but the seventh The Legion’s deaths and injuries were too heavy this time, and the gains from the Toxic Grotto could not make up for the huge deficit in pension funds. If the Legion hadn’t allocated a batch of funds urgently, the Seventh Legion would have been unable to unravel.

“Have you forgotten the existence of foreigners! Not only can they act as cannon fodder in battle, but they also have plenty of gold coins in their pockets!”

Ross leaked a mysterious smile. If it weren’t for the mission of “Smashing the Red Maple Army”, the secret of making a fortune and getting rich, ordinary people would never tell him.
