Chapter 319: Ice Palace (Update 3)
Walking alone on the frozen snow-capped mountains, Lin Zhen was thoughtful.
He still remembered that when he met Adams and his group, someone said that his parents had been captured by the Vatican, and Yue'er agreed to Yan Huang's proposal.
Lin really didn't believe Yue'er would agree to such a thing, but what about her parents? Were they arrested by the Vatican?
Unfortunately, there is no internet here, so Lin Zhen cannot verify such things.
This matter cannot be confirmed, and Lin Zhen cannot leave the City of Ancient Gods for the time being. If he goes to the Holy See now, he will definitely not come back.
Feeling the burning wounds on his body and thinking about how Yan Huang had just confronted Holofer with the holy weapon, Lin Zhen deeply realized the importance of the holy weapon.
If he also had a set of holy weapons, the battle just now would not have turned out like that.
After searching in the space ring, Lin Zhen found another top-grade star weapon spear, but he felt that it was not very convenient to use. He now needed a holy weapon.
After climbing the vast snow-capped mountains, the temperature here has dropped to minus eighty degrees Celsius.
Lin Zhen's star weapon had been replaced with a flame suit, emitting balls of fire that blocked the biting cold.
Lin Zhen encountered a quasi-SS-level snow demon. Lin Zhen had no idea what kind of mutation this thing had, but it definitely should not appear on Earth.
A minute later, this snow monster that was almost human-like was stabbed to death by Lin Zhen, and the crystal was taken out.
"I can already fight quasi-SS-level mutant beasts alone, but that's not enough. My goal is to be able to kill SS-level ones."
Lin Zhen released Xiao Nuan. Xiao Nuan had the fire attribute and was not very adaptable to this extremely cold place. She could only release firepower non-stop.
After Xiao Nuan swallowed the snow demon's corpse, its body grew a little taller. Seeing it shivering, Lin Zhen put it away again.
When we first entered Antarctica, we could still see some people, but as we went deeper into the South Pole, we saw fewer and fewer people in the south, and later we simply couldn't see any of them.
After climbing to the highest peak of the snow-capped mountain, Lin Zhen suddenly felt a biting cold that almost froze him to death.
He originally thought that it was cold enough on this side of the snow mountain, but now he realized that this side is still relatively warm because the cold current and cold air from the South Pole are blocked by this snow mountain.
Looking south from the top of the snow-capped mountain, in the southernmost part, rays of light descended from the sky, forming a curtain of light like an inverted river in the sky.
Clusters of jellyfish-like clouds float in the air. Such clouds can only form when the temperature is below minus 83 degrees Celsius.
Now that night has fallen, the jellyfish clouds are still shining brightly under the sunlight, which looks a bit strange.
The dark star in Lin Zhen's body was running, and beams of fire entered the star device on his body to resist the extreme cold. However, his eyes were fixed on the skylight and jellyfish clouds here without blinking.
"We're almost there. The light in the sky over there is the Southern Lights. Where the Southern Lights fall is the South Pole. As long as I get there, I can go to the third level."
Big gusts of wind and snow were blowing in his face, and Lin Zhen was having a hard time walking. He moved forward step by step.
After walking for a while, Lin Zhen's armor was covered with a layer of frost, which could no longer withstand the extreme cold here.
Lin Zhen did not use the Flame Heart, but instead released the firepower in the Dark Star outwards again, slowly melting the frost on the armor.
Walking from the snow-capped mountains to the plain ahead, crossing a frozen river, a house made entirely of ice appeared in front.
The houses were stacked like a small villa with the words "Ice Palace" written on them.
Lin Zhen knew that this was the Ice Palace that Dongfang Jun mentioned, and it was the territory of the Chinese warrior Luo Yun, but he did not want to go in. He was anxious to find the holy weapon and the earth element crystal.
But just as he passed by the entrance of the Ice Palace, the door suddenly opened.
Dongfang Jun stood in the Ice Palace and said to Lin Zhen with a smile: "Brother Lin, why do you still want to stay out of the door? You are making me lose face."
Seeing Dongfang Jun, Lin Zhen couldn't go on any further. He could only smile and walk over: "Brother Dongfang, I'm just anxious to get to the third floor. I thought I'd better not bother you if I can."
Dongfang Jun came over and pulled Lin Zhen into the Ice Palace: "There are still many things to pay attention to when going to the third floor. Come in and talk quickly. It's freezing outside."
Lin Zhen followed him in, and immediately felt his body warm.
The temperature inside the ice palace is about minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, but compared to the outside, it is like heaven.
There is a living room inside. After entering, there are seven or eight people inside, all of them are masters of the Star Realm.
"Everyone, I'm sure you all know his famous name, but I still want to introduce him to you. This is my Dongfang Jun's friend of different generations, Lin Zhen, a talented warrior from Liefeng. He is the first master in history to advance to the Star Ranking with the strength of the Quasi-Star Realm. He is currently ranked 51st on the Meteor Ranking."
After hearing Dongfang Jun's introduction, the people in the room all showed expressions of respect.
The Star List is a symbol of strength. Lin Zhen is now in the quasi-Star Realm. If he is not on the Star List, no one will respect him too much even if he has defeated Star Realm masters, after all, he is not on the list.
But it’s a different story if you’re on the list. There are eighteen people on the Sky Star List, thirty-six people on the Dark Star List, and seventy-two people on the Meteor List. These one hundred and twenty-six people represent the strongest people in the world. Lin Zhen is currently ranked fifty-first on the Meteor List, and his strength is about to enter the top one hundred in the world.
What's more, he is only in the quasi-star realm. Once he is promoted to the star realm, he will definitely be in the top 100, or even top 50.
A person sitting in the middle stood up and said, "Dongfang, we all know Lin Zhen. Especially not long ago, Brother Lin eliminated three Star Ranking masters in a row and jumped to the 51st place. In my opinion, Brother Lin now has the strength to be in the top 30 of the Meteor Ranking."
Dongfang Jun laughed loudly. It was obvious that he had a good relationship with Lin Zhen, which made him feel proud.
He turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, let me introduce you. This is Luo Yun. You must have seen him on the Meteor Ranking. He is a super expert ranked third on the Meteor Ranking. He has a good chance of being promoted to the Dark Star Ranking."
"Haha, it's not that easy to advance to the Dark Star Ranking. Come on, let's not talk about this for now. This is the first time I meet Brother Lin, and he is also our Chinese warrior, so let's do our best to be a good host."
Luo Yun said as he looked at the several Star Realms around him: "Brothers, are the drinks and food ready?"
"It's been ready for a long time. Dongfang said that Lin Zhen would definitely come here, so we have made preparations early."
"Well, let's start the feast!"
Luo Yun waved his hand, and Dongfang Jun pulled Lin Zhen towards the dining room.
The dining room was also an ice sculpture. There was a hot pot on the table in the middle, which raised the temperature in the room a lot. Even normal people could barely eat there.
They were all warriors, and masters at that, so they naturally didn't care about the low temperature and took their seats one after another.
The seating arrangement this time was a little more particular. Luo Yun was the most powerful person present and was also the host, so he naturally sat in the middle seat. On his left was Dongfang Jun, and on his right was Lin Zhen.
Dongfang Jun has now also made it onto the Star List, ranking 33rd. He is older than Lin Zhen and was once the owner of Liefeng, so there is no problem for him to sit here.
And Lin Zhen, a mere twenty-one-year-old youth, was sitting in the third position, but the other Star Realm masters took it for granted.
He is a master of the Star List. His status and position are definitely different from those of them who are not on the Star List. This position belongs to him.
Someone took out a large bottle of liquor, filled it for everyone, and then raised his cup: "Come on, everyone welcome Brother Lin to the Ice Palace. Meeting is fate. We are all friends from now on. Cheers!"
"Cheers, cheers!"
Everyone picked up their drinks and drank them all.
Being able to eat hot pot and drink strong liquor in this snowy environment is indeed a pleasure. Lin Zhen feels warm and comfortable.
After eating something, Luo Yun said, "Brother Lin, we heard about your story. Although there is no Internet here, we can still communicate with the intercom on the second floor, and there will be Internet signals after the third floor. We have all watched your video. You can actually fight Yan Huang from the Dark Star List to that extent. I can only say that I admire you, brother."
Lin Zhen smiled and nodded. It seemed that the position closer to the top of the spacecraft could receive the signal, which was quite convenient.
Luo Yun continued, "But I have a suggestion for you, Brother Lin. Although you are strong enough, your equipment is still a little lacking. If you had a set of holy equipment, then whether you were facing Yan Huang or that weird-looking Holof, you wouldn't be as embarrassed as you were at the last moment."
Lin Zhen nodded: "That's right, I only have this piece of holy armor on my body. If I were fully equipped, it would be difficult for Yan Huang to shake my defense."
Luo Yun clapped his hands and said, "That's right. So, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Lin Zhen was stunned.
"It's very simple. You, me, and Dongfang, the three of us will go to the third floor and have some fun. At the very least, we can try to get back a set of holy artifacts. How do you think?"
"The three of us go to the third floor?"
"Yes, don't think that I am so impressive occupying the Ice Palace on the second floor. It's because I can't gain a foothold on the third floor, so I have to stay on the second floor. Recently, Dongfang came over, and the two of us joined forces to break through the third floor. However, there is an SS-level three-headed hellhound at the entrance to the third floor. We have failed several times, and my men are not on the Star Ranking and are not qualified to go to the third floor. Now that you are here, brother Lin, we can finally try again."
Dongfang Jun also said: "We should give it a try. If we don't deal with this three-headed hellhound, we won't be able to enter the third floor. We can't get the treasures there. Without the holy weapon, we won't be competitive on the Star Ranking. It will be difficult for Brother Lin to save his parents."
Hearing this, Lin Zhen was suddenly stunned: "You mean my parents?"
