You must be on good terms with this person and never offend him!
If we can earn his gratitude when he is still in a humble position, the reward will be immeasurable!
'This child possesses monstrous talent and has the backing of the Chaos City Lord; his future is destined for extraordinary achievements! Now is the time to seize this opportunity and establish a connection at all costs! Otherwise, the future is uncertain…'
Po Yuhou made up her mind, and the smile on her face became even more beautiful, as if it could drip water.
The interior of the magnificent palace is complex and intricate, like a maze.
Under the personal guidance of Marquis Poyu, Lin Hao was invited into a cold and gloomy hall filled with a bone-chilling aura.
The main hall was spacious, as if it were forged from ten thousand years of black ice, and the cold air penetrated to the bone marrow.
With a gentle wave of her slender hand, without any visible smoke or fire, clusters of warm golden flames suddenly rose from the ancient stone pillars on the four walls of the main hall.
The flames leaped and flickered, radiating immense warmth that quickly dispelled the chill within the hall.
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
Po Yuhou led Lin Hao to sit on a chair made of warm jade that exuded a cozy warmth.
A token, as red as blood and with a warm, smooth texture, was handed to Lin Hao.
"This is His Highness's identification badge; please keep it safe."
Po Yuhou's voice carried a peculiar blend of coquettishness and warning, "Your Highness, remember, those natives wear black tokens. If they wish to join the company's outer circle, there are only two ways: one is to struggle and survive for a month in the Demon Mountain's perilous realm; the other… is through slaughter and plunder! To seize a thousand black tokens, or…"
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the red token in Lin Hao's hand, then she parted her red lips slightly, "A red token!"
"As soon as His Highness's aura appears within 500 meters of their perception, the special connection between the tokens will instantly make His Highness appear like a lighthouse in the dark, attracting those who are desperate to fight to the death to launch a frenzied attack! Whether or not one can protect oneself amidst a pack of wolves is also a dangerous aspect of this perilous mission."
"Understood, I know all the details of the mission."
Lin Hao accepted the red card; it felt warm to the touch, yet carried an invisible, chilling aura.
He thought to himself once again, "The title of Chaos City Lord is ridiculously useful within the Virtual Universe Company!"
"Within the Demon Mountain, the most deadly threat to Your Highness is none other than those immortal-level phantom beasts that are either sleeping or wandering in fixed areas!"
Po Yuhou's tone became more serious, "However, since Your Highness dared to accept a mission in such dire circumstances, you must have profound resources and your own trump cards for survival. As long as you avoid the forbidden zones of those immortal beast lairs, your safety should be guaranteed. As for the natives inside..."
She covered her mouth and chuckled, her emerald eyes revealing absolute confidence in Lin Hao's abilities. "I believe that to Your Highness, he's nothing but a chicken and a dog!"
She abruptly changed the subject: "Mount Demon has two sides. Entering from the front, you'll find 'Mount Demonic Sound,' where endless demonic sounds corrode your very soul and strike at its very core! Entering through the cave behind the mountain, you'll find 'Mount Frost,' a deep and chilling place that tests your divine body! Your Highness now needs to choose a path. May I ask which path Your Highness chooses…?"
"Ice Mountain!"
Lin Hao made a resolute decision without the slightest hesitation.
Although the terrifying sound waves naturally formed in Demon Sound Mountain can be described as "natural illusions," they are strange and unpredictable.
But the fancy tricks in the simulation that target the soul and spirit had no effect on me at all.
Speaking of which, this might be why, in the simulation, the love-struck guy thought the Demon Mountain was too boring and brought his sisters to spend three years there.
As they were leaving, they were caught off guard and ambushed by the king of the alien race.
Lin Hao also discovered that his understanding of the original plot of Swallowed Star had not been well transferred to the simulated love brain, or rather, his eyes were only on his sister...
Even the Demonic Sound God, who inherited this love-struck brain, had no desire to explore.
Therefore, he wanted to first go to the Frozen Mountain to explore where the Frozen God General's legacy was located, and also to experience what that ice, which was designed to limit the physical body, was all about.
There's still time to go to the Demon Sound God General's inheritance later.
"An iceberg?"
Po Yuhou parted her red lips slightly, revealing a hint of surprise, and her emerald eyes looked Lin Hao up and down with great interest.
She then smiled, her eyes sparkling with even more allure: "It seems Your Highness is quite confident in your 'physique'! Very well! I will arrange for men to escort Your Highness into the Frozen Mountain! Please remember, your identity token must be worn at all times. If it is lost, the mission will be considered a failure immediately!"
"Yeah, remember."
Lin Hao nodded in agreement, but inwardly he thought, 'That vixen's tone and gaze at the end... tsk tsk, seems to be giving some kind of hint...'
But I can't worry about her now. I'll deal with it later. Even if I really want to mess with her, I should at least make a deal with her first.
How do you say that?
Don't let down good girls, and don't waste bad women!
Soon, three guardians of the primordial laws, dressed in white robes, were summoned to the hall.
At Po Yuhou's instruction, they respectfully led Lin Hao onto a small, dedicated spaceship and headed towards the deep, ancient, and frigid ice cave on the back of Demon Mountain.
Watching the spaceship escorting Lin Hao enter the icy mountain, Po Yu Hou thought to himself, "Now I can say I've formed a good relationship with Lin Hao..."
However, when he thought of another brilliant genius, Luo Feng, Po Yuhou's mood soured.
She thought of that annoying monkey!
'I wonder what the relationship is between Luo Feng and His Highness Lin Hao. I'll have to probe them further before deciding how to treat Luo Feng!'
As she turned, a gigantic serpentine tail flashed past beneath her swaying skirt, its cold, smooth scales reflecting the dim light of the hall. It then transformed back into human form, elegant yet exuding a chilling aura, before gracefully walking back into the depths of the secluded palace.
Chapter 99: Doing tasks is too boring, so let's make it rain on banana leaves!
Within the majestic and continuous Demon Mountain, the deep cave walls are all black, and the surface of the rocks is thickly covered with a layer of ice. The endless cold air causes a layer of white mist to float faintly inside the cave.
If Lin Hao had just entered the Frozen Mountain, he would have been like a fish in water, given his mastery of the Water Law.
As they ventured deeper, the biting wind rendered the Force suit as useless as a sheet of paper.
These chilling energies were somewhat peculiar; a small portion of them were able to disregard Lin Hao's affinity for the water element's source power, seemingly penetrating directly into his cells and bone marrow, causing him to feel a faint, frostbitten stinging sensation deep within his soul.
Surprised, Lin Hao instinctively gasped, feeling a chill run through his body and making him feel terrible.
Continuing into the dark cave, after turning a corner, Lin Hao arrived at a spacious cavern that was nearly ten miles wide and ten miles high.
"Why is there an iceberg here?"
Lin Hao looked at the nearly 1,000-meter-high silver-white iceberg in the cave with a puzzled expression.
The iceberg blocked most of the road ahead, and just as he was about to pass by on one side...
"Roar!"
The towering, silvery-white iceberg, reaching a height of a thousand meters, suddenly moved. A gigantic head, resembling a lizard, turned sharply and, upon seeing Lin Hao, let out a tremendous roar.
"What great luck! So this is a phantom beast! And a world lord-level phantom beast at that!"
Lin Hao complained with a sense of helplessness.
boom!
A hazy afterimage suddenly crashed into Lin Hao, only stopping when it hit the black cave wall.
But soon, Lin Hao, who had been hit, vanished in a blur, his true form standing not far away.
Roar!
Seeing that its attack had failed, the giant lizard-like phantom beast roared angrily.
The mythical beasts are all formed from the extremely cold energy of the Demon Mountain. They contain a very simple consciousness and only know one thing: whenever they discover a non-mythical beast life, they will attack it until it dies!
boom!
Before the phantom beast could make any further moves, the tiny creature in front of it suddenly condensed an extremely powerful aura.
The 'miniature world' unfolded, and countless primal forces attempted to obliterate the phantom beast.
"Damn it, I hate cryoimmunity!"
The 'miniature world', which should have been invincible, was being strangled by the power of origin, making the phantom beast groan comfortably.
Only after Lin Hao withdrew his attack did the angry glare fall upon him—
Hey kid, don't stop!
Seeing its eyes, Lin Hao's mind was filled with witty remarks, but he didn't know where to begin.
'Oh shit! '
Not in the mood for further chatter, he casually unleashed a dimensional slash capable of shattering space, directly cutting across the area.
It's quiet now.
'Sure enough, it can really take a beating!'
Lin Hao stared in astonishment at the fragments of the giant lizard phantom beast that had been torn to shreds by the Dimensional Slash. Even though they had been reduced to countless pieces scattered on the ground, their consciousness had not collapsed. Instead, they slowly condensed the ice on the ground and restored it to its original state.
'The information said that mythical beasts are immortal, and it was right.'
Lin Hao shook his head and, in a flash, appeared at the end of the passage.
They began to explore the Demon Mountain quickly, and when they encountered phantom beasts, they would usually just teleport right past them.
He couldn't kill him, and there was no benefit in defeating him, so he naturally didn't bother.
Along the way, he encountered many natives. Although Lin Hao did not take the initiative to kill them, the domain lords and realm lords sensed the aura of the red tokens and actively pursued Lin Hao, giving him a lot of tokens.
However, Lin Hao's goal was not the mission at Demon Mountain, but mainly to experience the two great inheritances. Nothing else mattered!
As he ventured deeper, the eerie 'cold air' in the icy mountains became increasingly unbearable for him, and he could barely see any natives.
The cold here is so intense that even most realm lords would find it difficult to withstand.
Deep within the icy mountains lies a bottomless abyss.
Time loses its inherent measure here.
Day after day... perhaps only a few months have passed, yet it feels as if a thousand years have passed in an eternal freeze.
Lin Hao sat cross-legged deep within a deep ice cave.
There are no sun, moon, or stars here, only ancient, unyielding ice and cave walls, permeated with a oppressive, almost solidified, eerie blue light.
The biting cold had long surpassed physiological limits, penetrating from the inside out, leaving no pore untouched.
With each breath, the icy air felt like countless tiny ice needles, traveling down my trachea and into my lungs, making my thoughts seem to freeze and stiffen.
A landscape that remains unchanged for millennia!
A view so monotonous it's maddening!
As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but darkness and azure ice walls, lacking not a single other color or a trace of life!
