Søren didn't walk very fast.
It took them an entire day to travel thirty to forty kilometers, especially after entering the forest. Their speed was greatly reduced, and it would probably take them two or three days to reach the Elven Kingdom. Vivian hid her little head behind Søren's back, but her face was still red from the cold wind. Aladdin didn't have the energy to talk, so he just silently followed behind them. The only ones who had it easy were Søren and Gloria. The former had 20 points of Constitution, while the latter had the buff from her spells.
Evening.
They camped in a leeward valley. The little Vivian came down and stretched her arms and legs, then helped Søren set up the tent. However, she was small and weak, so she was basically just a bystander. The Halfling sat down on a rock and took a while to catch his breath before starting to get busy. They used some dry firewood to make a fire. Some level 0 spells were very useful at this time, and soon there was a trace of warmth around them.
Søren sat next to the fire and barbecued meat, while Gloria sat quietly and rested.
The Halfling seemed to have recovered some of his strength, but he was still a little quiet. He held a pan and fried mushrooms. Vivian stood behind Søren and massaged his shoulders. The little girl was very obedient, but unfortunately, she didn't have enough strength to feel anything. When she saw the tired Gloria, she immediately went over and massaged her. The Halfling was very happy and thought that Vivian would also come over to give him a massage, but unfortunately, he was ignored by Vivian.
The temperature dropped very quickly.
It was now close to 0 degrees. Søren stretched his body and took off his clothes.
The two people next to him were shocked, especially Gloria. She looked at him as if he was an idiot. Søren just smiled and waved at Vivian, indicating that he was fine. Then, he walked into the snow and covered his body with ice and snow. In the end, other than his head, his entire body was covered in ice and snow. Gloria and the Halfling's mouths turned into the shape of the letter 'O'. They almost wanted to say 'are you crazy'.
"This way, I can train my resistance to the cold." Søren's face was slightly pale, mainly because of the cold.
20 points of Extraordinary Constitution.
He could already take the initiative to train some low-level resistance talents. In the future, when he went to higher-level places, especially some areas in the Abyss, the degree of coldness there would be much higher than here. Right now, he was just training in advance. Extraordinary constitutions had adaptability, and under special circumstances, it was highly possible for them to grasp the corresponding additional specialties.
Half an hour passed quickly.
When Søren's lips turned slightly blue, a row of data appeared:
"Successful training."
"You have received 12 points of Frostbite. You have developed a slight resistance to the cold environment! … "
"You have obtained information about [Minor Cold Resistance]."
…
"Huhuhu!"
Søren pulled away the ice and snow and ran to the fire to warm up. At the same time, he took out a bottle of healing potion and whispered: "You don't have to worry about me. I'm not crazy yet. This is just a special training method. I just met the training conditions. There are also some professions who will train in extreme environments. I just happened to meet this condition. "
12 points of Frostbite.
An ordinary person would almost freeze to death. After all, being buried in ice and snow for half an hour was not a joke.
"Do you want me to give you a Resistance Enhancement?" Gloria looked at Søren with a strange expression. She really didn't agree with his self-abuse behavior, but she had heard of some professions who trained in extreme environments. Most of them were professions like Monks. She had never heard of Rogues who needed to face extreme environments naked.
Søren shook his head and slowly said: "No need. That way, it won't have the effect of training. "
After a while.
Søren drank a bowl of hot soup to maintain the heat, then took off his underwear and covered his whole body in ice and snow again.
The Halfling's mouth couldn't help but twitch and murmured: "What a madman."
Until night fell.
Søren had covered his whole body four times in a row. The accumulated frostbite had made his face pale and looked quite weak. Vivian distressed him and told him not to do this, but he waved his hand and said: "It's okay. I can still bear it. It won't delay tomorrow's journey. "
"What a madman," Gloria had a complicated expression, but Søren's self-abuse still made her feel a little shocked.
This guy was really stubborn and crazy.
Søren covered his whole body under ice and snow again. When the accumulated frostbite was close to 60 points, the prompt finally changed.
"Training successful."
"You have received 6 points of Frostbite. You have developed a little resistance to cold environments! … "
"You have successfully mastered [Minor Cold Resistance]."
…
Success.
As the data appeared, Søren suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his body, and his whole body seemed to have adapted to the cold.
Even if his whole body was covered in ice and snow, he didn't feel as cold as before.
"Minor Cold Resistance [Personal Ability]: In the process of resisting the cold, you gradually adapted to this environment. You will adapt to most cold climates, and your resistance to special cold environments has also increased. From now on, you are immune to any cold damage below 1 point. When you are attacked by spells or spell-like spells, any cold damage will be reduced by 1 point. "[Prerequisite: Constitution of at least 16 points.]
Søren's face quickly regained its color. He used a spell to dry his whole body and then put on his clothes.
This change could be said to have happened in a short time, and the two people next to him were stunned. At first, Søren's whole body was stiff and pale, but now it was as if nothing had happened. The Halfling's fingers trembled and murmured: "This works?"
Aladdin's face showed an eager expression, but in the end, he gave up.
He was afraid that he would freeze to death.
In the past, Søren swam in the ice river, and it took him a few days to master [Minor Cold Resistance]. Now that he had extraordinary Constitution and the ability to regenerate, he could challenge more difficult training methods. This ability was harder to improve as he progressed. If he wanted to strengthen it to [Minor Cold Resistance], he would need to enter some special geographical environment. Conservatively speaking, [Minor Cold Resistance] would accumulate more than a few hundred points of frostbite. Without the help of a priest, it would be difficult to succeed in a short time.
Immunity to 1 point of cold damage, this effect didn't seem like much, but it could save his life in a critical moment. When it was upgraded to a higher level, it was also very effective against all kinds of spells. Many northern warriors had a weak resistance to the cold due to their natural living environment, which was why Gloria was more resistant to the cold.
The most difficult thing to train was fire resistance, because it couldn't be trained directly by a fire.
Only slow damage could produce the training effect, and it could also allow the body to gradually adapt and develop the corresponding resistance. Søren once trained his fire resistance in a volcanic environment for a long time, and he finally advanced after falling into the lava. The easiest thing to train was poison resistance, but the process was more painful and took more time. Søren didn't have time to train yet.
…
The next day.
Soran was obviously much more relaxed, and the bone-chilling wind's influence on him had completely disappeared.
The Halfling also tried to resist the cold, but he didn't dare to be as crazy as Søren. He just wore his clothes in the snow, and when he came out, his lips were trembling. But there was still some effect. At least his body gradually adapted to the cold climate, and it wasn't as difficult as it was at the beginning. If he wanted to learn the ability [Minor Cold Resistance], it would take at least a long time, but the short-term training effect had already allowed him to adapt to the colder weather like the Northerners.
The group trekked for three days.
Søren carried Vivian for more than a hundred kilometers. When the surrounding trees began to become clear, and the traces of the road became more and more obvious, they knew that they were about to reach the Elves' territory. This was a place blessed by the gods, just like the snow in Autumnfall was thinner than outside. There would always be a trace of power in places where the gods were concerned. Otherwise, the gods who controlled other areas could casually send disasters, such as the Goddess of Pestilence and the Goddess of Disease.
When they spread plagues and diseases, the fear of mortals could also strengthen their power.
There was no shortage of believers in this world who prayed out of fear.
The snow on the road was getting less and less, and there were more and more animals moving around. Søren saw some marks carved on the trees, which were left by the Elves' patrol team. The Elves were more repulsive to other creatures, but they were not obviously hostile. It was not easy to enter their territory, but it was also not very difficult. In the afternoon of the same day, they saw the Elven village. In fact, it was not as beautiful as they imagined. It was just a relatively delicate tree house. They also knew how to cut wood to build houses.
The glory of the High Elves had passed. They were destroyed along with the Arcane Empire, and the remaining Elves were just a little more elegant than other creatures.
The Elves' appearance was more beautiful and handsome, but not to the extent of being astonishingly beautiful. It was just that the overall level of the Elves was a little higher than the Humans.
Vivian looked around curiously. The Elven guards in the village warned them not to cause trouble, and then let them in. The Elven villages in the outside world were more closely connected to other creatures. The deeper they went into the forest, the stricter the inspection was, especially near the Elven Capital. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter. There were still humans and half-elves living here, but their numbers were relatively small. The Elves also knew how to farm, and they could not feed so many people by relying on the supply of nature.
The village was surrounded by a clear river, and there were also open farmlands nearby. Ordinary Elves were not that elegant and noble. They were not born professionals.
Their strength also needed to be improved through training.
The most eye-catching thing was a big tree. Every Elven village had such a big tree. It was the legendary Ancient Tree Guard (Challenge Rating 12).
However, it was still in a deep sleep.
