"The metal fatigue of the Colossus is rising rapidly, as if it were taking the barrage of the super arsenal warships all the time. The rune arrays on both the surface and the interior are blocked by frost. Even the fuel is almost frozen. What is the temperature of this wretched place exactly?"
Li Yao frowned as he examined the performance parameters one after another. Every time the performance parameters changed from the normal fluorescent green to the pale white, he frowned even harder.
Before he completely pried open the ice wall, he had planned to release a few telepathic thoughts to examine the place first.
But the moment his telepathic thoughts crawled out of the gap, they were haunted by the gloomy wind that was close to absolute zero. Like invisible blades, they crawled into his head through his telepathic thoughts and scratched the inside of his skull hard, giving him a splitting headache and disrupting his soul. He almost couldn't control the Colossus anymore.
This was truly a hell of frigid coldness!
Even so, it was impossible for him to crouch in this place forever. Besides, along the gap that he had just melted, the cracks that looked like a spider web were spreading out on the ice wall nonstop. Even if he did not go out voluntarily, the tempestuous wind might have broken the ice wall into pieces.
Thankfully, he had just repaired the Colossus in a hurry. Otherwise, the first scourge of the gloomy wind would have frozen all the core units of "Solar Apocalypse".
While the ice wall could still hold for a moment, Li Yao performed targeted enhancements on "Solar Apocalypse" and added a lot of fire rune arrays and insulation layers for heating, ensuring that every gap was blocked. Then, he finally made up his mind and kicked the entire ice wall apart.
"Hu!"
The gloomy wind was blowing, and the tiny cave was immediately filled with ice crystals that looked like meteorites. Including "Solar Apocalypse", the whole world turned white all of a sudden.
"Pi pi pa pa pa, pi pi pa pa pa!"
Crack! The tempestuous wind hit the vulnerable surface of "Solar Apocalypse" brutally with ice crystals, raising blood-freezing noises as if he were bathed in a storm of bullets. It was hard to say whether or not the ice crystals would penetrate through the plate armor and freeze Li Yao into a block of ice in the next second.
The environment here was as harsh as the scourge of the super plasma torrents at the periphery of the ancient giant planet.
Even the two remaining souls, Lu Qingchen and the mental devil, were shivering in the cold. Their soul waves were almost frozen, and their communication with Li Yao was intermittent and about to be cut off.
Li Yao clenched his teeth, swallowed all the white mist into his stomach, and struggled to crawl out of the cave.
The world outside was made up of ten thousand different shades of white. The snowstorm carried hailstones, and the hailstones were mixed with freezing rain. Under the roaring wind, the ice crystals were almost parallel to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
No, the ground and sky here were completely frozen together. Li Yao gazed into the distance as far as his eyes could see. It was as if the white snow had piled up all the way to the sky. He really couldn't tell where the horizon was.
The Colossus fell into the snow more than ten meters deep the moment it took one step. That could be considered lucky. It must be noted that bottomless valleys and cliffs were likely to be distributed below the snow. One misstep, and the entire Colossus would be buried by billions of tons of snow and ice. Even if it could escape, its performance, structural strength, and fuel reserves would all be greatly reduced.
Then, what about flying to the midair?
Li Yao tried it. He controlled "Sun Calamity" to fly one to two hundred meters, only to be suppressed by the tempests that were getting more and more intense. Faced with the most violent power of nature, even the Colossus that the Supreme Emperor used in the past could not go on a rampage. Li Yao felt that he was like a fly that was slapped down by invisible flyswatters everywhere in midair.
"Pu!"
"Sun Calamity" fell into the snow again. It fell on its back and felt that the world was swirling.
However, Li Yao took the opportunity to scan the whole picture of the place.
As it turned out, he and the "Sun Calamity" were on the hillside of an enormous snow mountain.
The snow mountain was in the most precise conical shape. It seemed that it used to be a volcano that contained infinite violent energy billions of years ago. Perhaps the eruption of the volcano blew a lot of dust into the midair, which condensed into a thick gray shell in the sky and blocked all the radiation of energy. That was why the temperature of the place was shockingly low.
The snow mountain was larger and more magnificent than any mountain that Li Yao had ever seen. 'Soaring into the clouds' was not enough to describe one ten-thousandth of its magnificence at all. It was as if it was not the mountain that had pierced into the clouds at all, but all the clouds in the sky were shivering and kneeling before it, worshipping it in fear.
Even Li Yao did not realize that he was on the hillside of a snow mountain at first. It was not hard to imagine how magnificent and terrifying it was!
Just like "Thunder Valley" and "Super Gravity Sea", this place did not have any hints to guide the test-takers to the "exit".
Even if there were hints, they would've been erased by the test-takers who got there in advance.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked towards the top of the snow mountain.
From his angle, he naturally couldn't see the situation at the top of the mountain. All he could see was that the clouds that lingered at the top of the mountain were different from the surrounding clouds. They were extremely gorgeous colorful clouds.
It was as if the snow mountain was still active. Large amounts of heavy metals and rare elements were constantly spewing out from the volcano's crater, revealing its irresistible power in the clouds.
"What's that?"
Li Yao had sharp eyes. When he swept his gaze down from the top of the mountain, he saw countless black dots squirming on the surface of the snow, trying their best to climb up the mountain. They were the attacking beasts and the defending war machines.
He never expected that the fellows attacking the City of Silver would have such intelligence and strength to be able to continuously crack the mysteries of "Thunder Valley" and "Super Gravity Sea" and advance all the way here.
Could it be that the secret to passing through this level is hidden at the volcano's crater at the top of the snow mountain?
This time, Li Yao didn't rashly do the opposite.
The snow was boundless, and time was limited. If he didn't climb to the top of the mountain, where could he find the clues? Most importantly, if the snow mountain was really a volcano, then the temperature at the top of the mountain near the crater would definitely be higher than here. The Colossus would also be able to last longer.
Thinking of this, Li Yao took a deep breath and joined the team that was climbing the snow mountain.
Gloomy winds were howling, and ice crystals were flying. On the magnificent snow mountain, countless ferocious beasts and war machines that were a hundred meters tall were wriggling, struggling, and climbing up hard like insignificant black spots. How unbelievable and magnificent it was!
Li Yao had only wanted to climb with his head down. He didn't want to compete with the enemy in such an environment, even though he had occupied a very advantageous shooting position, allowing him to leisurely stab the buttocks of the beasts or war machines.
Putting aside the reasons such as the lack of ammunition and the decline in the combat performance of the Colossus, there was still a word that haunted him like a ghost — avalanche!
Yes. In the environment right now, an avalanche was a hundred times more fatal than a thunderstorm, a storm, or a tsunami.
There was no telling how many years the snow on the snow mountain had been piled up. The ice crystals in many places had been condensed and compressed to be even harder than rocks. If an explosion was triggered by a battle and an avalanche was triggered by the explosion, billions of tons of ice crystals and rocks would roll down at the same time. There would be dire consequences.
However, Li Yao knew the consequences of an avalanche, but the beasts and war machines did not.
They were still absolutely unrestrained. They collided and entangled above Li Yao brutally, roaring crazily and blowing out dazzling electric arcs and fireballs. They were having a life-and-death battle.
Naturally, whenever a beast almost a hundred meters tall or a war machine that weighed almost ten thousand tons collapsed, a series of small-scale avalanches would be triggered. Sometimes, right above Li Yao's head, snow, ice crystals, and rocks would roll down like a flood and brush past him. He was so shocked that he was soaked in cold sweat.
Can't you just stop for a moment and fight after you climb to the top of the mountain? Do you have to cause a world-shaking avalanche to be happy?
Li Yao gnashed his teeth and howled in his heart.
His words were like a spell that activated the mysterious strength hidden deep inside the snow mountain.
The entire snow mountain suddenly trembled slightly.
It was not a problem caused by the explosion on the surface of the snow mountain but an unstoppable quakes from inside the snow mountain like a chain reaction.
At the top of the snowy mountain, the colorful clouds had been burned into a sea of scarlet red. Around the scarlet clouds, rings of thick lead ash were rippling, like huge waves spreading in all directions. Soon, half of the sky was swallowed up, and the entire snowy mountain was shrouded in a suffocating shadow.
It was — it was the smoke from the depths of the volcano!
"Seriously?"
Li Yao's eyes bulged as he mumbled to himself, "I can't be so unlucky as to encounter a volcanic eruption that hasn't happened in tens of thousands of years, can I? Is this a coincidence, or —"
Hardly had the thought flashed in his mind when he heard an earth-shattering explosion from the interior of the snow mountain. He could even vaguely smell the intense air of the aftermath of the explosion of a crystal bomb.
It was not a coincidence.
It was very likely that the defenders had planted traps such as crystal bombs on the top of the snow mountain, in other words, in the depths of the crater that had been silent for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. Once they exploded, a chain reaction would be triggered and the entire snow mountain would be infuriated. A destructive avalanche would be triggered, burying all the enemies who dared to break into the place!
