Draw an NPC ID card at the beginning of the game [unlimited]

Qi Wuyuan watched coldly as the monster that emerged from the ground was burned to the ground in the flames and then completely disappeared.

Through the thick frozen soil, the turbidity subconsciously swayed by the monster in the agony it felt before dying slowly disappeared. Through the transparent solid ice, Qi Wuyuan could see the situation underground when he lowered his head slightly.

While Qi Wuyuan had a clear view of the underground, the contestants who were always looking at him all around couldn't see the bottom of Qi Wuyuan's feet at all because of the sight problem.

Qi Wuyuan saw the appearance under his feet.

Before the monster died, the tentacles that broke through the frozen layer and protruded from the ground made an opening for him.

After struggling to the point of death, the monster's tentacles made the opening bigger and bigger during the constant swinging movements, and inadvertently made a hole leading to the ground. The hole with a diameter of about one meter can easily pass through by a single person. .

After the monster's corpse disappeared, it became a natural passage downward, and from time to time, broken ice fell towards the bottom of the hole.

Qi Wuyuan saw the underground that other contestants did not see——

Sweep away a thick layer of white snow, and then pass through an even thicker frozen layer, and the space below it no longer has any objects, but a wide and dark space.

The icy surface of this transparent labyrinth is just a thick crust.

Qi Wuyuan looked at the appearance in front of him, before he had time to make any movements, he suddenly noticed that his strength was slowly filling up with a strange feeling.

The yin energy in Qi Wuyuan's body has grown to a certain extent, and it is difficult to achieve even a slight increase.

This is not normal.

This feeling is not intermittent, but more like continuous driving.

He thought for a while, controlled the flow of power in his body, pulled away all the external force mixed into his body, and squeezed it onto his fingertips.

This is—faith?

Qi Wuyuan froze for a moment, and clearly felt the light bursting out from his fingertips, carrying sacred and pure power.

Powerful, but not entirely his.

Qi Wuyuan's guess was successful.

After appearing as the envoy of the God of Ice and Snow, people's views on Qi Wuyuan immediately changed. Countless residents worshiped him from the bottom of their hearts, just to let the beloved god feel the piety in their hearts.

Even the contestants in the maze completely regarded him as an angel.

The eyes of the contestants who were not firm in their beliefs showed desperation—if the angels appeared, they could only be sacrificed to death.

More contestants wished to pay homage to Qi Wuyuan.

If it weren't for the fact that they are not allowed to bring sharp objects into the maze, maybe even fanatical contestants who committed suicide appeared.

It is these pure powers that are gathered on Qi Wuyuan because of his status as an envoy. People are eager for the envoy to convey their sincere friendship to the beloved God of Ice and Snow for them, and become a bridge for them to communicate with God the Father.

This power of faith did not appear for Qi Wuyuan himself.

So this power does not belong to him.

Qi Wuyuan didn't intend to accept this power hastily.

Unlike people who are short-sighted and only see immediate benefits, Qi Wuyuan doesn't think that the power of faith that is so easy to get is a good thing.

Its components are too complicated, and it can't be regarded as the power generated by Qi Wuyuan himself, accepting it represents future troubles.

Qi Wuyuan thought for a while, and all the power of faith condensed on his fingertips began to be compressed by him.

After a short trial, the power of faith showed a feasible fusion gesture.

He then strengthened the confinement of this power of faith - after lifting the seal in his body, Qi Wuyuan became more and more comfortable using his own power.

The power of faith with a transparent texture that cannot be felt like air is gradually compressed into a white color.

It was first compressed into a mist-like existence, then continued to condense, continued to condense from the gaseous state visible to the naked eye, and then experienced liquefaction and solidification in a short period of time.

In the end, under the impression of inward rotation, the power of faith condensed into a droplet-shaped semi-transparent substance.

The substance condensed by Qi Wuyuan showed a snow-blue color as a whole, and the color on the edge was stronger than the transparent shape in the middle. The crystal clear shape easily passed the refraction of the sunlight, bringing A divine and shocking beauty.

—looks like a precious gem that cannot be described in words.

This is a gem condensed from the purest faith.

It embodies the sincere emotions in the hearts of countless human beings.

Gemstones made of faith represent priceless meanings.

The translucent snow-blue color looks very much in line with the impression of the North.

Lonely and beautiful, lonely and noble.

When this gemstone appeared, Qi Wuyuan's left eye burst out with a flash of light, which seemed to arouse some kind of resonance.

Looking at the gemstones condensed out of their hands, the residents' continuous power of faith is still inputting inward.

Qi Wuyuan's mind suddenly popped up the name of the gem that he made by mistake.

"The Gem of Winter."

Following the thought that suddenly appeared in his heart, he said, "This is a gem created by you."

It's not something that came about because of the gods.

"Represents the crystallization of the tenacity and unyielding consciousness of the North."

It's not because of the belief in gods, it's just a reason for people living in the north to face the evil and continue to survive.

Survival is not easy. Human survival does not come from the protection of gods, but from our own efforts.

and so--

"The Winter Gem is a priceless gem that represents the northern city-state."

Qi Wuyuan's voice was not loud, but all the contestants and all the audience looking at him through the huge screen could hear him clearly.

Everyone's attention was on Qi Wuyuan, and what he said echoed in everyone's heart.

Many people who were worshiping raised their heads and looked at the indifferent young man in the giant screen.

The drop-shaped crystal named Winter Gem continues to receive the power of people's faith, and the gem is surrounded by fragments of light, making it look even more hazy.

The Gem of Winter is a priceless treasure unique to the North.

—ideas imprinted in everyone's mind.

When this kind of thought was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in an instant, the residents' firm belief in the God of Ice and Snow was slightly shaken.

Even they themselves didn't notice the occurrence of this crack.

After Qi Wuyuan made deliberate actions and was regarded as an envoy of God, he did not directly enjoy people's worship as before. All his actions were materializing this power of belief, and unknowingly exposed the most important thing in religious worship. mystery.

It was an absolutely fatal blow.

The mysticism of religion is the reason why human beings have too much respect for gods.

Qi Wuyuan lowered his eyes, and casually commanded the pieces of solid ice scattered on the ground to float up.

Under Qi Wuyuan's easy manipulation, the floating ice quickly transformed into a delicate and slender belt, which was tied to the Winter Gem and made into a necklace.

The solid ice covered with yin energy is of excellent quality and will hardly melt for any reason.

When the necklace was successfully made, Qi Wuyuan didn't notice that one of the chains that originally bound the ice coffin was slowly falling on the face of the card book that belonged to Earl Winter's identity skill card. Gone as if it never came.

It's not just the cards that have changed—

Suddenly, Qi Wuyuan felt a sudden change of time.

The howling wind blew past him, and everything around him turned into a virtual scene that flashed by quickly.

Whether it's all the contestants or the audience outside the venue, all the voices are far away.

The surrounding environment is also changing, and Qi Wuyuan sees that the underground cavity is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems to be repairing automatically.

It's a function of time.

Only time will have this ability to fix everything.

——The current time is speeding up due to unknown reasons.

Qi Wuyuan immediately discovered the reason for the sudden strange change. He made a decisive decision. Yinyue transformed into a long and thin cane. The yin fire immediately took effect, supporting the passage connecting the hollow space under the ice, preventing it from being frozen again.

After Qi Wuyuan's series of investigations, he had a premonition - the broken ice surface cannot be allowed to be covered by ice and snow again.

Only underground monsters can break through this unique ice formation, not contestants.

Competitors are not allowed to damage the maze floor just as they cannot climb the walls of the maze or damage the walls of the maze.

This is the most basic operation rule of the dungeon, and it is not allowed to be destroyed for any reason.

It is an iron law that everyone needs to abide by.

It has to be said that Qi Wuyuan's method of dealing with this iron law of dungeons is very effective.

After all the movements disappeared, the scenery around Qi Wuyuan had changed.

The maze is still the same maze, but the surrounding roads are obviously different. Qi Wuyuan has also changed from being in a dead end in a maze to being in a smooth straight line with no forks in the front and rear for nearly 500 meters.

Apart from the changed environment of the maze, Qi Wuyuan's first feeling was that it became colder.

The temperature at this time is at least ten degrees lower than what I felt before, and there will be a gas that condenses into a white mist in an instant.

Qi Wuyuan wrapped a necklace made of cold winter gems in one hand, and held a silver moon cane in the other.

The ice cave on the ground did not disappear under the influence of Yin Huo.

The positions of the contestants scattered around have also changed at this time, and the appearances of all the contestants have also changed.

The clothes should be much warmer than the clothes of the contestants that Qi Wuyuan saw before.

The obvious time change made Qi Wuyuan's environment somewhat familiar yet strange.

This special transparent labyrinth is not only a labyrinth in space, but also a labyrinth with time changes.

The degree of confusion is evident.

The dungeon selected by the system for Qi Wuyuan is of course not a good one.

Qi Wuyuan's delay is to distinguish whether this instantaneous change is only for him alone or for all the contestants.

He quietly observed the other contestants, wanting to be the first to observe. If this concept of time was not just for him alone, then there would be no point in entering the maze under the ice.

If the time limit is just the condition of the maze against Qi Wuyuan, then entering the underground of the maze from this ice cave will still have its meaning.

At this moment, Qi Wuyuan felt an unnatural shaking frequency on the ground under his feet.

Not noticeable but shaking very regularly——

Another monster was released from the bottom of the maze.

The monster is currently swimming in the frozen layer of the maze, and it seems to be observing the prey above the ice layer.

Once it finds a suitable prey, it will deliver a full blow.

Qi Wuyuan noticed all this and began to quickly scan the surrounding contestants.

This is not a fixed trap in the maze, but a more flexible and dangerous crisis.

Suddenly, both he and the monster in the ice noticed the same target.

There was a contestant standing behind Qi Wuyuan on the right. He wrapped himself in the same clothes as the other contestants and still felt very cold, his body was so cold that he began to shiver unconsciously.

There were tears in the contestant's eyes, his expression was embarrassing, and there was obvious confusion and anger.

Whether it's the displayed temperament, or the hesitant behavior of standing still, it is obvious that he is weak.

It is definitely the weakest existence among all the contestants in the maze.

But compared to other rough contestants, there is a sense of being out of place because of pampering.

At first glance, I think it is a very "delicious" prey.

Qi Wuyuan and the monsters in the ice attacked at the same time.

The Yin Qi quickly spread out and explored all the roads in front of him. Qi Wuyuan relied on the information of the maze road passed back by the scattered Yin Qi, and immediately found the location of the contestant who was marked as prey.

After marking the ice cave, Qi Wuyuan turned from the maze to the contestant's position with three or two strokes.

The bewildered contestants watched Qi Wuyuan rushing towards him in a stern manner, but did not show any panic.

Instead, there was a look of hope on his face.

It was as if this contestant knew Qi Wuyuan.

"Boss, please take me..."

"Bam—"

The monster that came out of the ice opened its mouth wide and swallowed the broken ice cubes where the contestant was originally standing, interrupting what the contestant wanted to say.

Qi Wuyuan's movements are fast, but they are still slower than monsters who ignore the terrain of the maze and wander freely in the ice.

The moment the monster moved towards the contestant, Qi Wuyuan immediately threw out the silver moon, which turned into a chain and wrapped around the contestant's waist in the blink of an eye.

Qi Wuyuan used all his strength to lift the contestant's body up. With a flip of his wrist, he pulled the chain with backward force, and the contestant was thrown to a safe place behind Qi Wuyuan.

The monster that broke through the ice flew into the air, a snake-like tail, body parts tens of meters long, but a human-like head, and a monster with snow-white long hair entangled and stood up.

After discovering that the prey in its mouth had been rescued, it uttered an angry roar, which scared the other contestants who saw this scene and immediately tried their best to run away.

After venting some anger, it lowered its head and asked Qi Wuyuan, "Why did you save him?"

With some hoarse female voices, the monster expressed its doubts, and even tilted its head to express its confusion.

"I'm hungry and need to eat."

After the monster vented his anger, his doubtful voice sounded very flat.

"Humans need to eat without considering the feelings of livestock. I need to eat. Humans on the ice are my food."

Because the previous prey looked weak, it chose to hunt directly.

Because Qi Wuyuan felt the danger brought by it, it chose to negotiate.

What a pure monster.

Qi Wuyuan looked at it, and replied with the same simple words: "Because I want to keep him."

Qi Wuyuan was also very concerned about the incompatibility of this contestant and others.

He is not like an NPC living in the northern border, but more like a player who is not level enough and has entered this dangerous dungeon by mistake.

The monster tilted his head, looked Qi Wuyuan up and down for a while, and then said: "Okay."

It decisively gave up hunting the contestants.

"It seems that I can only eat after you leave."

After finishing speaking, the monster burrowed into the ice again, and the cracked ice layer recovered immediately.

After confirming safety, the contestants rescued by Qi Wuyuan continued to thank and said: "Thank you, thank you..."

He was a little incoherent.His legs also softened in fear after a while.

The appearance of this contestant obviously knew Qi Wuyuan.

Qi Wuyuan turned his head and said lightly: "You know me."

The contestant subconsciously nodded and admitted: "I know you because I have always been a loyal viewer in your live broadcast room. I really like your live broadcast, big brother. By the way, my name is Ye Xian, and you can call me Xiaoye good."

Ye Xian spoke incoherently for a long time.

He is a low-level player who has just passed a few dungeons and has some experience. His usual hobby is to watch live broadcasts. Qi Wuyuan's live broadcasts are frequent. He watched the live broadcasts of Qi Wuyuan's four dungeons in a row before. I know Qi Wuyuan.

When Ye Xian watched the live broadcast before, he thought that the players who met Qi Wuyuan would be lucky, and it would be convenient to pass the dungeon after easily hugging Qi Wuyuan's thigh.

He also didn't think that if he met Qi Wuyuan, it would be "I can do it too".

It wasn't until now when he actually faced Qi Wuyuan directly that Ye Xian realized that he was extremely nervous even when talking to Qi Wuyuan face to face, worried about his own fate, and couldn't be calm and composed at all.

Before Qi Wuyuan could ask anything else, Ye Xian spoke out all about his experience.

From Ye Xian's unreserved confession, Qi Wuyuan knew what happened in his live broadcast room.

After Ye Xian opened the live broadcast room 125125, he couldn't wait to enter it, and then became one of the tens of thousands of unlucky players who disappeared.

Qi Wuyuan frowned, feeling heavy in his heart.

It is too obvious that the system uses his live broadcast room for fishing.

With so many players, what exactly does the system want to do?

Ye Xian went on to say that he felt an irresistible drag while watching the live broadcast.I just felt that I was dragged into the darkness, and when I regained my consciousness, I found that I had entered a mysterious place with many other players watching the live broadcast.

"When I opened my eyes, I almost thought I was at the bottom of the sea."

There are all kinds of huge creatures with strange shapes floating above the head. When you look closely, you can find that they are in a thick layer of ice, treating the solid ice as liquid water, and moving smoothly in the ice in a wonderful state.

Ye Xian found that there were many players standing around, and he was almost the last one to wake up.

Because Ye Xian watched a lot of live broadcasts by players, he memorized the faces of many anchors. Now he looked around and found that there were many intermediate players among these people, and even several advanced players.

In this place, the feature of becoming "face-blind" after entering the instance also disappeared.

Through the gloomy daylight, they could see a huge labyrinth above the ice layer, and a special stone slab was placed not far away. The stone slab and the icicles in between formed a special device, which looked like a teleportation device .

The more Ye Xian looked at it, the more terrified he felt.

It is not difficult to find that the place Ye Xian mentioned is the huge space under the maze.

He asked Ye Xian: "Then how did you get out?"

Ye Xian swallowed, and said with some resentment: "It's all because of a rule!"

Among the players sent underground, apart from many middle and low-level players, there are also some powerful characters.

Where Ye Xian stayed, there was a mid-level player with a sharp mind.

He analyzed that all the missing players were divided into dozens of different groups. The best proof is that there are only about 1000 people in their place.

Afterwards, the player did not know how to touch the stone slab next to him. This is indeed a teleportation device——

"After the device was triggered, the system told us that the players were divided into very different teams, and each team was divided into an average of [-] people, and all of them were in the underground in the form of spatial superposition."

In other words, there are ten superimposed parallel spaces in the underground of the maze, and all the players who are pulled into the instance from the live broadcast room are in them.

The teleportation device in each parallel space takes effect in turn, and they need to send people in as sacrifices to the gods, and be teleported to the maze above their heads.

If players want to get the first clue from that place, they must sacrifice gifts to the gods, and after the sacrifices are produced, the corresponding clues will be randomly drawn.

The more sacrifices sacrificed, the greater the chance of spawning clues.

And there are only nine clues.

When the ninth clue appears, the ice layer on the top of the last parallel space that has not obtained the clue will be shattered, and countless monsters will pour down. qualifications.

So after some selection, Ye Xian was pushed out like this.

Qi Wuyuan asked: "Will the system be notified only when the teleportation device is triggered?"

Ye Xian said affirmatively: "That's right, before that we searched all the places in the underground space and found nothing special, and the system didn't say anything before that."

Then it is very likely that the parallel space where Ye Xian is located is the first space to trigger this teleportation device - there is still time.

Qi Wuyuan immediately returned to the ice cave anchored by him. Ye Xian was always bound by the chains transformed into silver moons, so that Qi Wuyuan could take him away together.

Amidst the sporadic collision of the chains, Qi Wuyuan returned to the ice cave at the beginning.

He jumped down without hesitation, and Ye Xian, who was caught by the chain, also jumped down together.

After jumping into it, I discovered more intuitively that the thickness of the ice layer is at least three to forty meters high on average, and the thickness of the ice layer in some places is even doubled, enough for many monsters to survive in it.

In the thrilling weightlessness, Ye Xian kept shouting: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

The ear-piercing shouts echoed in the huge space below the ice layer, allowing the players who were in a parallel space below to hear the voice before they saw it.

When it was almost time to reach the bottom of the space, Qi Wuyuan made a gesture with one hand and landed smoothly.

Ye Xian, who was brought down by chains, was also safely brought to the ground under the influence of Yin Qi covering Yinyue's body.

He was still responding to the restlessness in his heart, Qi Wuyuan had put away the chains and walked forward.

The 1000 people in front of them all looked at Qi Wuyuan who suddenly descended from the "sky".

They are all the audience in Qi Wuyuan's live broadcast room, so they can naturally recognize who is in front of them.

Qi Wuyuan said to them: "Don't be nervous."

"I'll take you out."

He said lightly, but the voice was not loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Without any excessive language embellishment, the anxiety in everyone's heart has been diluted a lot.
