After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 252 I will give all of myself to you without reservation

The moonlight is faint.

On the huge capsized ship, Ryan leaned against the bulwark at the door of his cabin.

Freni stood quietly beside him, and a little further away on the upper deck was Cecilia in practice.

The room arranged by the maid for the three of them is located on the second floor of the Capsize. It is also one of the best rooms on the entire Capsize, except for the captain's room.

Looking up at the sky quietly for a long time, Freni was the first to break the peaceful atmosphere.

She turned her head, looked at Ryan's side face illuminated by the moonlight, and whispered:

"Mr. Lane, don't you really want to ask me why you insist on going to the Golden Tree? Even now that you know part of the true situation of the Golden Tree."

Ryan smiled: "If you say you are not curious, you must be lying."

"But everyone has their own secrets."

"And I have been homeless for a long time. The Black Rose is my home."

"Where have you been? Wherever the Black Rose is, that is my home. Why should a wanderer not go home?"

"..." Freni's earlobes turned slightly red, and she turned her face away subconsciously.

Okay, okay, say this.

After taking a few seconds to calm down, Freni spoke softly: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that there are some things that make me more confused the more I experience them."

"It's okay." Ryan waved his hand carelessly: "So much has happened recently, and you guys are tired. Go back and rest early."

"If the plan goes well, we will be busy in the coming days."

Ryan pressed his hands on the edge of the bulwark and said with a smile.

"...Yeah." Freni nodded slightly, turned and walked towards her room.

"Da da... da da..."

That was the sound of footsteps fading away.

"By the way, Mr. Lane."

Even before the cabin door was closed, Phryne's soft voice appeared in Ryan's ear:

"The day I figure out the relationship, I will tell you everything without reservation, no, I will leave it to you~"

Ryan turned his head, but only saw the flash of Miss Witch's smiling and naughty expression.

"This little girl..."

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head.

Glancing at Cecilia, who silently stopped practicing not far away and came to guard the door of Freni's cabin, Ryan nodded to her and then returned to his room.

After passing the Holy Tree's assessment of the world, the wolf girl's vigilance became even higher, and she did not want to leave Freni at all.

Guarding the door all night has become a routine operation.

Ryan didn't care about this, just let her do whatever she wanted.

Anyway, with Miss Wolf Girl's strength, it wouldn't hurt to stay awake for a few days.

In the room, Ryan sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating silently.

He didn't end his meditation until the hour hand of the clock on the wall pointed to 0 o'clock, and took out the small raft from the space ring.

Looking at this "old guy", Ryan's eyes were filled with emotion.

He had been on the Black Rose some time ago, and the teleportation process during his travels was extremely comfortable. Now, using the "old friend" of the bamboo raft, he has to experience the bumpy life again.

It's also strange to say.

No matter whether he is strong or weak, the teleportation process should still be uncomfortable.

Shaking his head, he put the bamboo raft in place and selected [Attach]. Ryan lay down on it and slowly closed his eyes.

Travel, start!
……

"Whoosh..."

The cold wind was biting and the ice and snow howled. Ryan stood up on the bamboo raft and stretched.

The cold didn't make him feel uncomfortable, but instead gave him a long-lost sense of relaxation.

For hunters, the thousands-mile-long frozen continent is nothing more than a hunting ground.

Ryan looked into the distance.

He still remembered his broken protective gear and weapons during the fierce battle with the [Forbidden] Ember Slayer Sword Dragon during his last trip to the Monster Hunting World.

But now, with his new protective gear, he will definitely be able to hunt more efficiently.

After learning about the situation of the Four Kings Pirate Group in the New World, Ryan became more and more eager for strength.

Although the strength between the peak demigod and the ultimate demigod is not weak, it is still far from enough in front of the true god level.

If you want to quickly improve your strength, there are only two ways.

One is the way of original sin.

The second is traveling.

In terms of the original sin path, if you want to improve the compatibility of the fifth-level [Raging Saint], you need to perfect the [Saint’s Crown]. Logically speaking, after being promoted to the fifth level, Ryan has also defeated many enemies, so he should be full. That's it.

But in fact, the current progress of this passive skill is still 0.

The reason for this situation is that all the enemies that Ryan killed in the assessment world were not real. Since it is not real, there is no point in grasping it. If it cannot be grasped, the perfection of [the crown of saints] is naturally just a castle in the air.

Therefore, it is said that there are two ways, but in the final analysis, there is only one, and that is travel.

During the travel, by defeating powerful monsters, Ryan's travel clone can be upgraded, and at the same time, the professional compatibility of [Raging Saint] can also be improved.

With his thoughts at this point, Ryan put his hand on the bonfire and chose to teleport.

……

A man walks alone in the wind and snow.

Not long after, Ryan arrived at the location where he had a fierce battle with the [Forbidden] Ember Slayer Sword Dragon.

Even after a few days, the ground here is still scorched black, exuding hot and twisted air currents.

After sighing, Ryan did not stay here too long. Instead, he estimated the direction and started heading towards the glacier area.

After being promoted to the fifth level [Raging Saint], Ryan still can't figure out the exact combat power level of the traveling clone.

The last time he traveled to the new world, killing Saint Iochilis was too simple for him, and he could not predict whether the traveling clone would have the strength to compete with the true god level.

But this time, with the blessing of new weapons and protective equipment, and with further strength, the [Forbidden] three-star monster is no longer difficult to defeat in his eyes, but he doesn't know if there is a monster deep in the glacier area. A stronger monster above the taboo?

Ryan looked forward to it.

Along the way, the wind and snow continued. After entering the glacier area, the ambient temperature dropped further and the wind and snow became more intense.

Icebergs of all sizes appeared in front of his eyes, but unfortunately, Ryan did not sense a powerful enough aura among them.

In order to find the monster, or even "seduce" the monster, he did not hide his aura at all along the way. In this case, once a powerful monster detects his intention of "territory invasion", he will take the initiative to expel it without hesitation.

Unfortunately, so far, no monster that considers itself "powerful" dares to appear in front of Ryan. On the contrary, there are many "weak" monsters who have noticed this violent aura from a distance and fled away in panic.

Ryan was very sorry about this.

After walking silently for three hours, Ryan finally stopped.

In front of his eyes, an extremely majestic iceberg appeared, as high as ten thousand feet. Compared with it, the surrounding icebergs were like babies and adults.

Not only that, just looking at this huge iceberg in the distance, Ryan felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"There must be a powerful monster among them!"

There was a hint of excitement in Ryan's eyes.

But when he got here, for the sake of safety, he still restrained his aura.

Doing this outside the glacier area can improve efficiency, but doing it in this area that makes him feel uneasy is just asking for death.

There were many trails among the tens of thousands of icebergs. Ryan chose one at random and stepped up.

It was windy and snowy, and after a while, a scene on the roadside attracted his attention.

It is a natural hot spring exposed in the ice and snow.

In an extremely cold climate like the Permafrost Continent, do open-air hot springs exist?
Ryan was astonished.

You must know that the snow on the permanently frozen continent is not ordinary snow, it can erode vitality, and the existence of this open-air hot spring means that the heat source below it must be extraordinary.

"interesting……"

When he came to the hot spring, he reached out and touched the hot spring water. A wave of warmth hit him, making Ryan squint slightly in comfort.

After carefully observing the surroundings and confirming that there was no danger, Ryan took off his equipment and comfortably experienced the open-air hot spring.

Miraculously, after soaking in the hot spring, all the fatigue in his body disappeared, and the erosion of his vitality by the wind and snow dropped to an almost non-existent level.

After feeling comfortable, Ryan put on his equipment again.

What surprised him even more was that he found a new bonfire spot in a glacier cave not far from the open-air hot spring.

-

[You have discovered a spiritual gathering place - Glacier Hot Springs. 】

[You can set up a "bonfire" here to achieve rapid teleportation to the "starting point" and other "bonfire points" (cross-world teleportation is not possible). 】

[When you are in the "Bonfire", you can use other functions except "Return". 】

[——Whether you are a navigator, a hunter, or an angel, adequate rest is a very important thing. 】

-

Lighting the bonfire, a smile appeared on Ryan's lips.

With this new campfire spot, he won't have to waste so much time on the road next time he travels, which greatly improves efficiency.

The only thing that made Ryan feel regretful was that there were no records left by the hunting group in this iceberg cave.

Maybe it's because they have never arrived here, or maybe their camp is not here.

Ryan was a little disappointed that he couldn't get the information about Wanren Bingshan, but he didn't care too much.

He has always been under the care of the hunting group. If there is a chance, after exploring the Wanren Iceberg area, he does not care about people imitating the hunting group and leaving an intelligence record.

Once, I was illuminated by the fire you lit, but now that I have the ability, I should also become the torch that warms you...

After some simple preparations, Ryan continued on his journey.

The Wanren Glacier area is very large. After leaving the "Bonfire Point-Glacier Hot Spring", he traveled for another hour before arriving at a wide flat land of ice.

Compared to the undulating glaciers around it, this place is surprisingly flat.

And such anomalies mean that this place must be unusual.

Ryan's expression turned cautious.

As soon as he stepped into this place, he felt a strange aura.

This is what an unknown powerful monster left behind!
One step, two steps, three steps...

Ryan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and then green light flowed on his body, and he disappeared in an instant. The next moment he disappeared, a purple-blue thunder suddenly fell.

There are obviously no dark clouds in the sky, but there is thunder on the ground!
Crazy thunder struck down, forming a dark spreading trace on the flat ice field.

Ryan appeared dozens of meters away from the lightning strike point, his eyes extremely solemn.

At that moment, even he almost couldn't react.

"Click..."

The sound of ice fragments breaking and falling sounded, and Ryan heard it loudly.

I saw a perfect and vigorous figure slowly walking out above a small glacier about a hundred meters high in the distance.

Different from those monsters that can move tens or hundreds of meters, this monster is less than three meters long and looks small and mini.

But the permanently frozen cold air and lightning all over its body revealed its horror.

The strange aura suddenly intensified at this moment, as if it had changed from illusion to reality.

"This feeling?!"

Ryan was shocked.

Although it is far from the feeling of being stripped away and rejected by the world when facing the complete green dragon, this aura has similar characteristics.

An extremely strong sense of threat surged in his heart, and Ryan looked at the prompts on the panel.

-

[Ice Thunder Qilin]: Fantasy ancient dragon species, a subspecies of thunder Qilin. Like the unicorn, the thunder unicorn has the appearance of a white horse, with an iconic blue horn on its forehead, and its four feet are similar in structure to horse hooves.

Due to its skeleton, appearance and ecological niche, many scholars have doubted whether Lei Qilin should be classified as an ancient dragon. However, the blood of ancient dragons contained in Lei Qilin's body and its ability to cause natural disasters can still be proven with reasonable evidence. Lei Qilin belongs to the ancient dragon species.

The specific principle of Thunder Qilin's control of thunder and lightning is unknown. There was once a view that Thunder Qilin controlled thunder and lightning through the horn on its head. However, hunters who have conquered Thunder Qilin have mentioned that even if the Thunder Qilin's horn is destroyed, it will not be able to control thunder and lightning. Affects its ability to control lightning. Although it is not the part responsible for controlling lightning, the horn does have some special functions.

It is said that after the thunder unicorn's horn is broken, they will become extremely violent. Hunters have also witnessed the moment when the golden flame lion broke off the unicorn's horn and ate it to gain the ability to transform. At least it is certain that the single horn of Lei Qilin is indispensable for the Golden Flame Lion's transformation ability.

The subspecies of Thunder Qilin that inhabits the permafrost continent, the Ice Thunder Qilin, has been affected by the environment. Not only has the color of its skin changed, but it also has the ability to control ice and snow. 】

[——[Dream] Special species are fantasy creatures above taboos. Their existence itself is like an illusion in a dream. Each one has the terrifying power to permanently change the geographical environment! 】

-

"Above the taboo, a fantasy species?"

"Ice Thunder Qilin, a subspecies of Thunder Qilin?"

Ryan took a deep breath.

Whether it is the name "Qilin" or the rank "Dream", it is clear that this [Dream] Ice and Thunder Qilin is the most powerful monster in history that he will face!
