Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Ice-Sealed Rock Wall Among these people, Kaize was one of them.

All of his skills were combat-type skills. He had no flying, invisibility, teleportation, or other abilities.

The [Demon Hound Transformation] didn’t have any special abilities other than offensive skills.

Seeing those people leave, he felt anxious.

Their White Eagle Nation’s number one guild, the “United Gods,” had already promised him in private that as long as he could provide first-hand information about the mysterious newcomer, they would let him join them when he reached level 30.

Joining the number one guild in the country was the dream of many White Eagle players. Now that he had the opportunity, how could Kaizer give it up so easily?

‘To enter the United Gods, I’ll have to give everything I got!‘

He took out the E-grade “Teleportation Talisman” from his rucksack, gritted his teeth, and crushed it to use.

The function of the teleportation talisman was to teleport the user to a random location within a one-kilometer radius.

If he was lucky, he only needed to teleport West a few times in a row to successfully pass through the Burning Scorched Earth to reach the Rocky Highlands.

After the three-second travel, he opened his eyes again, only to see some Red Fruit monsters in the distance. His face darkened with displeasure.

“It’s fine. It’s just random teleportation. It’s normal.”

He was not in a good mood after being teleported a distance away from his destination.

However, he still comforted himself optimistically.

He took out another teleportation talisman and used it again.

When he opened his eyes three seconds later, he found that he was still in the Red Orchard. He had only moved about five hundred meters to the East.

A bad feeling rose in Kaize’s heart.

However, he still took out the remaining dozen teleportation talismans and used them one by one.

Two minutes later…

After he used up the last teleportation talisman, he finally returned to Bruning Scorched Earth’s entrance.

He was less than a hundred meters away from where he had just used the talisman for the first time.

Two minutes had passed, and the leftover group staying here had already charged into the land, six to seven hundred meters deeper into the blazing area!

There were only a few people here now.

When the other people nearby saw him, they all looked surprised and started discussing.

“Eh? Isn’t that Kaize? Wasn’t he at the front of the group? What is he doing here?”

“I don’t know. I heard some people say that he had teleported further ahead. Maybe he had already finished his investigation?”

They thought Kaize had already been at the Rocky Highlands, so they gathered around him excitedly.

“Kaize, have you been to the Rocky Highlands? Did you see that person?”

“What do they look like? Are they young or old? ”

The people who asked excitedly quickly noticed Kaize’s ashen face. After exchanging a few glances, they smiled awkwardly and said things like “sorry to disturb you” before turning around and running away quickly.

The situation seemed to be a little different from what they had imagined…

Kaizer ignored the people around him. He looked straight into the distance and quickly chased after them with a stormy face.

He was like a furnace that could explode anytime, and a slight touch would cause it to blow up.

…

The Rocky Highlands was located on the west side of the Burning Scorched Earth, on a huge rock that was fifty meters tall and two thousand meters long.

The cliff wall was steep, almost perpendicular to the ground.

If the players could not fly, climbing was the only way up.

Even if there was no punishment for dying before level 10, some timid players or players with acrophobia did not dare to climb.

“Are you sure the mysterious man is on the Rocky Highlands?”

Under the huge rock, the players who had used their “special” skills have once again gathered together.

The last time they saw a meteorite falling from the Golden Summit, they had expected the mysterious player to be there. But when they arrived, no one was there.

Many people were worried that such a situation would happen again.

If they didn’t find him, they would have suffered for nothing.

“How would we know if we don’t try? We definitely have to go up!” Someone shouted.

“We’re already here, so don’t ask such questions.”

“Whoever wants to give up halfway can go back.”

The others shouted one after another as they climbed the rock wall.

Seeing this, the people who were still hesitating made up their minds.

They walked to the rock wall and started to climb.

But suddenly, the temperature in the air dropped.

As the name suggests, the Burning Scorched Earth was a hot area located directly under the sun’s glare. So all the players were wearing short-sleeved shirts and shorts.

The sudden drop in temperature caused everyone’s expression to change as they looked up at the sky.

They could only see a grayish-white mist overflowing from the rock wall and slowly falling toward them.

“What’s that!?”

“White mist? Ice mist? It’s so cold!”

The few players who were the fastest to climb up felt the temperature rapidly dropping every second, and they all started to panic.

Some of them couldn’t stand the cold and turned to jump off the rock wall, while others gritted their teeth and tried to persist, climbing up through the freezing fog.

It was only when someone with sharp eyes saw the top of the rock wall was gradually freezing he hurriedly shouted to the others below, “Retreat! Quickly retreat! The rock wall is starting to freeze!”

The frozen rock wall meant that it could not be climbed.

If they didn’t hurry down, they would fall.

The players who had only climbed two or three meters below immediately turned and jumped off. Some players above also nervously climbed back.

“It’s just ice. What’s there to be afraid of? All we need to do is increase the friction!”

The young man at the head of the group looked at all the retreating figures with disgust.

He stretched out his hand in an attempt to disperse the white mist that drifted to his side. At the same time, he lowered his head and said to the people below, “As long as I hit the ice with a hammer…”

The people below were still observing the rock wall beside them and trying to devise a plan when they suddenly noticed the person above them was no longer talking.

They looked up.

The young man’s body was frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye!

“H-h-he froze! This fog will freeze you!”

…

Not even a minute to waste, the group of players who arrived in advance had been reduced by more than half, leaving only a dozen people left.

The rest of the people either fell to their deaths and returned to the camp, or they couldn’t escape in time and were frozen on the rock wall.

The dozen people retreated quickly when looking at the human-shaped ice sculptures on the rock wall.

“Look at that! We can’t go up to the Rocky Highlands now… In any case, I’m definitely not going to continue.”

“We can’t go there! The white mist is still surrounding the whole cliff. We’ll be frozen if we go there!”

“Let’s leave, just leave. It seems like the ice elemental expert doesn’t want us to go up.”

Previously, at the second and third stages of the Main Road, many people had speculated that the mysterious summoned star player either had ice-type skills or had other ice-type companions.

Now that they saw the “ice-sealed” rock wall, their guess was confirmed.

“Did someone fly up? Did they make it?”

Someone suddenly remembered that some of them had already flown up in their flying monsters or summoned beasts.

But now, these people seem to have suddenly disappeared. No news or sound could be heard from them.

“They either died or were frozen.”

“… That should be the case.”

“C’mon, let’s leave.”

The group of people shook their heads and sighed. Just as they were about to leave, they turned around and saw that the remaining leftover players were already approaching.

Although there were less than half of them, there should still be more than a hundred people.
