95: Chapter Survival of the Fittest (I)!!
【Eye of Insight: You gain the ability to perceive all things (24h)】(Natural Grace)
Today, I once again got the buff of 【Eye of Insight】...
Before entering the Polar Land, Ye Ze purchased many different types of beast bones and materials in White Emperor City, about a hundred kinds.
The assessment theme for the third stage route is "Survival".
With an extremely harsh environment and active monsters above level 40, ordinary examinees cannot resist at all, so the third stage route tests the examinees' survival ability.
As long as one can survive crossing the third stage route, it is considered a victory.
"The weak are prey to the strong, and the fittest survive," Ye Ze murmured.
Historical changes, civilization cycles.
No matter how brilliant and radiant many powerful civilizations, races, and species were at the time, there would always be a day when they met their destruction.
And at such times, often some seemingly insignificant species can survive.
So in the universe,
The species with the strongest survival ability are never the most powerful species, but the species most adapted to the environment.
Survival of the fittest...
...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
A sound of airflow came from the sky,
Ye Ze transformed into a purple electric eagle soaring in the air, passing through this wilderness, and ahead was the Polar Land area.
Not long after, a expanse of white appeared before his eyes, and the temperature in the air plummeted. This was the western polar glacier area of the Polar Land.
Huff!! Huff!!
With each breath, puffs of white mist came out of his mouth and nose...
Too cold!
The air temperature here was 10 times colder than the Ice Abyss within the Elemental Plains!
Even Ye Ze, who had awakened an E-grade Ice Element talent, couldn't bear it and quickly slowed down, descending downwards.
But at this moment,
Roar!!! Cry!!!
A strange cry, like both beast and bird, rang out,
A strong wind swept over his head, and a shadow enveloped Ye Ze.
"Not good," Ye Ze felt something was wrong.
Before he could react,
Rip!!
An iron claw tore through the void and grabbed his body like lightning.
Ye Ze looked up, and a look of horror immediately appeared in his eyes. It was a giant beast entirely shaped from ice crystals, with an eagle's head and a lion's body, and a pair of ice crystal wings over ten meters long...
Ice Crystal Gryphon!
Ye Ze quickly responded,
A stream of light flashed on his storage ring, and an earthy yellow crystal core appeared in his hand.
【Transformation Master +8】!
【Discovered a first-order Earth Element crystal core.】
【Analyzing the physical composition characteristics of the Rock Giant...】
【Pay 3000 energy points, you gain the characteristic of the Rock Giant—Rock Body!】
An earthy yellow light flickered on Ye Ze's body,
The next second, he transformed into a Rock Giant over ten meters tall.
Screech!!!
The Ice Crystal Gryphon only felt its grip sink, the iron claw failed to grab, and the prey it had caught fell down.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
The wind whistled in his ears, and under the effect of gravity, the Rock Giant that Ye Ze had transformed into descended rapidly in the air.
When it was only a hundred meters from the glacier ground, the Rock Giant's body rapidly shrunk, transforming into a falcon, frantically flapping its wings. However, the inertia generated by the Rock Giant's fall did not disappear with the Transformation.
For a moment, he couldn't fly up at all,
80 meters...
50 meters...
30 meters...
10 meters!
Seeing that he was about to crash,
【Shadow Shuttle】!
At the last moment, Ye Ze turned into a shadow, jumping into the shadow of an ice pillar, thus narrowly avoiding a crash.
Whoosh—
A strong wind struck,
The Ice Crystal Gryphon circled in the sky nearby, searching for Ye Ze's trace.
In the shadow, Ye Ze looked at the Ice Crystal Gryphon, the Eye of Insight scanned over—
【Ice Crystal Gryphon (Leader Level）】
Level: 40
Combat Power Evaluation: 100 stars
Realm: Budding Stage (Mid-grade Talent Tree)
Talent: ???
Skills: ???
————————
"Level 40 Leader-level monster! Mid-grade Talent Tree!"
Ye Ze was startled,
Right from the start, he encountered a level 40 Leader-level monster, and a monster that had broken through to the Talent Tree realm.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The Ice Crystal Gryphon did not detect Ye Ze's trace and could only fly away unwillingly.
After the Ice Crystal Gryphon flew away,
The ice pillar's shadow began to tremble,
The next second, an Ice Elemental Spirit jumped out of the shadow.
Possessing an ice crystal body, Ye Ze felt the coldness slightly decrease. Maintaining the Ice Elemental Spirit form, he walked towards the depths of the glacier...
...
Longhua Building, Monitoring Hall.
A snow mountain reaching a thousand zhang was reflected on the central light screen,
Snow-capped and white,
Snowflakes dancing,
It looked peaceful,
However, at this moment, a deep and distant rumbling sound came, initially, the sound was so faint it was almost negligible.
But soon it became louder and louder, more and more shocking.
Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!!!!
Immediately after, a faint white line appeared in the picture. The white line got closer and closer, gradually evolving into a white wave several zhang high.
Rumble rumble rumble~~~~~Boom boom boom boom boom!!!!!
Accompanied by deafening roars,
The avalanche began...
The originally calm snow surface became wild at this moment, huge snow blocks and ice blocks were pushed by a powerful force, like wild horses that had broken free, rushing down.
Trees were uprooted, rocks were easily swept away, and a frost beast up to 3 meters tall was also swallowed, frozen into an ice sculpture under the extreme cold...
Rumble rumble rumble~~~~Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!
The wave swept through, about dozens of zhang high, and the monsters on the snow mountain fled down the mountain one after another,
Among the fleeing group was an Ice Elemental Spirit, which at this moment wished it had two more legs.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!
The white tide behind it was getting closer and closer, and the speed at which the Ice Elemental Spirit fled was far less than the speed of the avalanche.
Suddenly, a valley appeared before its eyes,
The Ice Elemental Spirit quickly fled into the valley.
However, before it could come out of the valley exit, the white wave dozens of zhang high instantly swallowed the entire valley, and the monsters inside were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, buried deep in the heavy snow.
Cry!!!
Above the valley covered by heavy snow, there was an ice sparrow, letting out a clear cry, gently flapping its wings, and flying towards the next area...
...
"How many days has it been since this kid drank the Druid Spring Water, and he's already using his Transformation ability so skillfully!!?"
The scene on the central light screen drew praise from several chief examiners.
Su Dingfang also smiled and said, "The information from Nanjiang City shows that this kid comprehended three F-grade talents before the awakening ceremony.
He seems to have a unique ability in excavating talent potential."
"It's incredible, even an adult Druid couldn't transform into various forms as freely as he does."
The chief examiners praised him while continuing to watch the scene on the light screen...
