Chapter 100

(First update of the day, recommend following and collecting, please!)

......

What to do?

The only option is to continue ascending, surpass the height of the ridge, and risk crossing over!

However, for safety, it would be wise to scout the path first!

Flapping his massive red flame wings, holding onto the vine with his claws, Er Dongsheng slowly pulled the hot air balloon close to the snow peak, chose a spot, and secured it.

"Stay here, don't move around. I'll go scout the path and see how high it is!" Looking at the suspended hot air balloon, Er Dongsheng managed to force a smile and said.

He didn't know what the outcome of this journey would be, whether good or bad, only by exploring could he find out.

After briefing everyone, Er Dongsheng turned and climbed up the snow peak without looking back!

To conserve energy, he didn't choose to transform and fly up, but climbed step by step.

"Puff!"

His slightly pale claws fiercely plunged into the thick snow. At this altitude, the snow on the peak was perennial and mostly turned into a thick layer of ice. Under extremely low temperatures, this ice was as hard as the rocks of a dead volcano!

However, for his current claws, this hardness wasn't much of a problem.

Most of the cells that had been invaded and mutated by the pale flames were concentrated in his two claws. After becoming a Level 2 Demon, his blood and qi were robust, and he could control his body's cells and qi with ease, moving the mutated cells to his claws without much effort.

These cells, which had been invaded by both the Ink Spirit Fire and the pale flames, were vastly different from ordinary Ink Spirit Fire cells. They not only retained most of the abilities of the original cells but also possessed the undying and hard characteristics of the pale flames. At this moment, the hardness of his two claws far exceeded that of the rest of his body.

Er Dongsheng was very satisfied with this mutation, but it was a pity that the pale flames hadn't been studied in time and were swallowed by the impatient Ink Spirit Fire. Now, this thing was curled up in his heart, no longer moving as it used to, quietly like a gentle girl, and he didn't know what it was doing!

Did it eat too much? Or did its nature change? It's hard to change one's nature, and Er Dongsheng didn't believe it had changed. He guessed it was just full.

Because their souls were connected, he vaguely knew something, and with a hint of anticipation, he waited for it to return.

......

The snow peak was very steep, almost vertical, and the hard ice layer made it difficult to find a foothold. Each step required a lot of effort. However, for him at this moment, this climb wasn't too much of a challenge, thanks to his powerful claws.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

The system recorded the time, telling Er Dongsheng that he had been climbing for about ten minutes and had ascended about a thousand meters. Looking down, the view was a vast white expanse. The hot air balloon, far away, had shrunk to the size of a basketball, and beyond the field of vision, it was still dark, and he didn't know what lay inside. The darkness always gave him a sense of unease.

After climbing for another ten minutes, the air here was extremely thin, and the temperature was unbearably low. Er Dongsheng had to release some flames periodically to warm his body, taking large breaths, trying to expand his lungs, but they remained unsatisfied, making him feel very uncomfortable!

How high was this place? Ten thousand meters? Eleven thousand meters? Or even higher? He didn't know. He had never been at such a high altitude before, and even with his Level 2 Demon body, he couldn't withstand the sudden change.

Especially the thin air, which made him feel dizzy and nauseous!

No, I can't go on, I need to rest and adapt to the air here! Just like diving, you can't descend or ascend too quickly; there must be an adaptation process!

"Phew!" His breath formed ice, and he started to daydream to distract himself from the discomfort of the lack of air!

"I wonder what the state of a Level 3 Demon is like after elementalization! Do they no longer need to breathe or eat? Do they survive purely on energy?"

"What is the Spirit Pattern Chain? According to the fairy queen, this thing is exclusive to Greater Demons, and each Demon has a different one! Could it be related to the spirit patterns on my body?" Looking at the spirit patterns that covered his body, Er Dongsheng pondered.

The spirit patterns on his body were only covering, not perfect, and still needed improvement!

"I wonder how the fairy queen is doing. Did she really die?" Thinking of the cold and beautiful fairy queen, he couldn't help but sigh. What a pity, he should have kept her last time.

Shaking his head, these questions were too profound. He was still far from being a Level 3 Demon, and it was better not to waste time on such useless thoughts.

Resting for a while, he continued!

After climbing for a while longer, breathing became increasingly difficult. Er Dongsheng gritted his teeth and persisted. He didn't want to give up. After so much time and so many difficulties, he had finally reached this place. Just a little more persistence, and he would succeed. How could he give up now!

"No, I disagree. No one can make me give up my dreams. I want to go to a broader world, and no matter how great the difficulty, it can't stop me!" The blood in his body circulated rapidly, every bit of air and energy was fully utilized, not a single bit wasted!

"Come on, come on, never give up!"

His head was starting to spin, but Er Dongsheng still persisted.

"Host, the air is severely insufficient, it's beginning to endanger your life. Please stop the adventure!" A mechanical voice sounded!

"Shut up, I know!"

His speed slowed down, his chest felt like it was on fire, and he struggled to breathe, but it didn't satisfy him. After all, he was still an ordinary Level 2 Demon, bound to this mortal body, needing food, air, and other necessities! Even though the energy in his body was still abundant, his muscles began to cramp and spasm, he felt dizzy and nauseous, and his vision started to blur.

"Phew, I can't go on like this!" Er Dongsheng decisively stopped. One must know one's limits, and this applied to Demons as well! His current state was too poor, and he needed to rest and think of a plan!

"Let's rest here for a while. Dig a snow cave to catch my breath, and then fly up a distance. If I still can't see the end, I'll have to think of another plan!"

Crack, crack!

Saying it, he did it. Despite his dizziness, he stabilized his body and started digging with his claws.

In the high mountain snow peak region, if it's too cold and the air is thin, digging a snow cave is a very good place to rest and save your life! Due to the settling of air, the air in the snow cave is slightly more abundant than outside, and the temperature is much higher!

Crack, crack!

After digging for a while, a large snow cave was formed!

"Phew!"

He took a long breath, feeling much better!

After resting for a while, his head stopped spinning, and Er Dongsheng began to observe the surroundings. He had been too dizzy earlier and only focused on digging, but now he could take a good look.

Actually, the surroundings were all white snow, and inside were hollow ice layers. A warm breeze blew from the glowing hollow, making Er Dongsheng feel so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

However, a breeze? And it's warm?

Where is it coming from?
