The game has become a real alternate world-Chapter 605 - 286: Snowstorm Blocking the Road

Western Snow Mountain.

The mountain peaks are completely enveloped in a snowstorm.

The overwhelming wind and snow make it impossible for anyone to find their bearings.

All that can be seen is a vast expanse of white.

And within this vast expanse of white.

A team is gathered together, sheltering in a nearby mountain hollow.

Even in such a fierce snowstorm, the hollow is still filled with cold wind.

Yet in this place, there’s actually a campfire swaying with the cold wind but showing no signs of going out.

Raelia and the others are gathered around the campfire.

Karen is staring at the campfire, somewhat dazed.

"I never thought Sculptors could be so adorable."

Raelia said with a smile as she looked at the campfire.

The fire in front of them came from two overlapping [Campfires] producing flames.

Even in the cold wind, it doesn’t go out.

"Is this some kind of alchemy technology? It seems to involve engraving magical power into stones."

Terger asked curiously; being a scholar-type mage, he is very interested in this aspect.

Abis nodded.

After thinking for a moment, she simply took out a stone and tossed it over.

Terger immediately caught it and began to study it with great interest.

Annabelle looked out from the wind-blocking rock wall, the outside still a vast sea of white, the howling wind and snow showing no sign of stopping.

"What bad luck, we weren’t that far away."

Seeing as they were about to reach their destination, they encountered such a strong snowstorm.

This snowstorm has been blowing for a whole day and night, longer than they had expected.

"How long is this snowstorm going to last?" Raelia asked.

The snowstorm is too severe for them to venture out any further.

The area is unfamiliar to them, and on the map, it’s a dark void, only illuminating areas they have traversed.

The visibility is extremely low.

Once outside the two to three-meter range of vision, they lose their teammates’ signals on the map.

Of course, the ones missing are Karen and Terger.

However, as Night Watchers, this isn’t an issue, as map information is a network shared by them.

Yet, it remains very dangerous.

"We can’t be rash; for safety’s sake, it’s best to wait for the storm to pass before going out.

In such fierce wind and snow, there can be dangerous creatures lurking, conducting deadly hunts,"

Terger, more familiar with this snow mountain, said.

Raelia sighed.

There’s nothing else they can do.

Watching Karen, who’s been staring at the campfire, lost in thought, Raelia asked, "What’s wrong with you? You’ve been dazing off for a while; do you have something on your mind?"

Karen, snapped back to reality, shook her head.

"No, it’s just... it just feels like this snowstorm has lasted too long. Even if it lasts this long, there should’ve been some brief moments of calm, but it has persisted like this from yesterday till now. It’s very strange.

Moreover, I have a very bad feeling. I can’t quite articulate it, but..."

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say, unable to express her thoughts.

Better understanding Karen, Terger raised his head and furrowed his brow, pondering and asking, "Are you suggesting that this prolonged snowstorm isn’t a natural phenomenon?

But a man-made spectacle?"

Not waiting for Karen to answer, he continued, "But that doesn’t make sense, right? We’ve been here before, haven’t we?

This region isn’t new to us; why hasn’t this happened before?"

Saying this, he couldn’t help but glance at Raelia and the others, clearly questioning whether they were carrying something that triggered some mechanism in the area. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

He believed there wasn’t much wrong with his guess.

Because Raelia and the others’ explicit goal made it hard not to believe they were carrying something akin to a "key".

However, Abis shook her head.

"We didn’t bring anything. The reason we know the exact location is because we have sufficient sources of information."

Terger nodded, simply dismissing his previous thought.

As there’s no need, any deceit at such a moment is meaningless and offers no benefit to the other party.

If they wanted to conceal something, they could just eliminate the two of them.

Based on rational logic.

Terger began considering other possibilities.

"Could it be that someone among you has a special bloodline or something? Like a unique race, a unique surname, or some special ability."

If not a key, this kind of mechanism fits the guess better.

Moreover, the composition of these few individuals in front also seems peculiar.

This speculation, in turn, led Raelia and the others into deep thought.

Because they couldn’t be sure either.

After all, Kana chose them for this task, perhaps aware of something.

Clearly, Kana knew more than the two in front of them, who had studied for so long.

It’s possible that Kana considered this aspect.

"Why think so much? Just ask." Raelia said directly.

Upon hearing this, Abis nodded.

They’ve encountered a problem, and it’s time to seek help.

Only the two in front of them seemed confused, what does this mean?

Abis opened the channel and began communicating with Kana.

She recounted the situation they were facing and previous encounters in detail.

In the Royal Capital of the Cohen Kingdom.

Kana still remained here due to some discussions and affairs.

Upon receiving the information, he began to ponder.

The reason he sent them there was mainly because there used to be a large dungeon.

The [Grand Sun Temple]

However, it is a transitional segment between versions 1.0 and 2.0.

It is indeed considered quite ancient.

Although he had cleared this dungeon, he didn’t know much about its background or the initial tasks to activate it.

The activation of many dungeons originates from some one-time initial quests.

Without specific investigation, only teams that completed these initial tasks would generally understand.

A mage known as Terger, an Ice Mage, and a tribal girl capable of transforming into a giant bear.

Kana seriously recalled.

If it weren’t for Raelia and the others, these two would definitely have perished.

Thinking of it this way, could this Terger possibly be the ghost lingering in the former dungeon?

Because Kana remembered this ghost used ice magic, allowing related skills to be obtained when the dungeon concluded.

As for the tribal girl who could transform into a giant bear, Kana wasn’t sure. However, he roughly guessed this girl called Karen’s profession.

In all likelihood, it should be the special skills that can be acquired after a perfect evaluation upon clearing the [Grand Sun Temple].

And after learning this skill, a hidden profession could unfold.

The [Divine Warrior]

As the thought process extended, some details of memories began to be drawn out from his recollection.
