Chapter 540 Adventurer's Trial, Deep Red Stone

Dragon's Back Snow Mountain, a mountain in Mondstadt that is covered with ice and snow all year round.

From the map, we can see that there are rivers on the north and east sides of the snow-capped mountains. The water is cold and surrounds the mountain. It turns into a waterfall in the north and flows into the big river on the west side of the Morning Light Winery.

To the southeast and south of the snow-capped mountains is the endless sea, with scattered islands and huge icebergs offshore.

The Snow-covered Road is the only way to the snowy mountains.

Jiang Yi arrived at the intersection, where the view was broad. He could see the towering snow-capped mountains, surrounded by a few birch trees with gray-white and black trunks and yellow leaves, and in the distance straight and tall cedars.

A few snowflakes drifted from the snow-capped mountains with the wind.

There was a layer of frost and snow on the ground, which made people feel cold under their feet.

Adventurers who can come to explore the snow mountains are undoubtedly very courageous.

Serius, with short blond hair, wears a monocle, and has a burly figure full of muscles.

The green adventurer's attire gave him an oppressive aura.

"Towards the stars and the abyss!" A shout full of passion and heroism attracted people's attention.

The president of the Mondstadt Adventurer's Association is here to send a group of newcomers who have joined the Adventurer's Association for less than a year up the mountain.

"Little ones! Follow your predecessors and venture into the snowy mountains! The treasures arranged by the Adventurer's Association and the treasures of the ancient country of the snowy mountains are buried in the mountains."

Serius' words made a group of young and fearless adventurers roar.

"Treasure, treasure!"

Seeking death is the tradition of adventurers. It’s just a snowy mountain. Watch me conquer it.

Yandora looked over there curiously: "Jiang Yi, they seem so weak, what are they planning to do in the snowy mountains?"

Jiang Yi knew something about this: "The Mond Adventurer Association sends a group of newcomers to the snowy mountains every year to hone their survival skills and courage."

"This is one of the ways for humans to grow and become strong! Although it is dangerous, there will be a lot to gain if you succeed."

He continued forward and came to the river bank.

The icy river flows under the broken bridge, and the cracked ancient stone bridge becomes the first challenge that adventurers who want to go to the snow-capped mountains need to face.

There were traces of repairs on the wooden bridge, but the wooden bridge was also broken and split on one side.

"Why don't you continue to find someone to repair it? Building a bridge should be easy for you." Yandora leaned towards Jiang Yi, snowflakes floating on her body, making her feel a little cold.

"Maybe... For those who can't get through here, going to the snow mountain is just seeking death. There's no need to go any further!" Jiang Yi crossed the three or four meter long gap in the broken bridge in one step.

"Didn't we see a sign before we came here? It said the Knights of Favonius kindly reminded us: The snowy mountains are a harsh environment with many monsters. We strongly advise the residents of Mondstadt not to go there."

"The Knights of Favonius didn't come to repair it, and the adventurers thought it was better not to repair it, so the bridge remained broken."

"However, I heard that when people go to the snowy mountains to rescue people, some people will bring a ladder to build a wooden bridge for the injured to pass through."

Yandola looked back and found that some of the new adventurers were sprinting and jumping, some were looking for wood to build a bridge, and some were trying to cross the river by stepping on the stones under the bridge... each showing off their unique skills.

The seniors from the Adventurer's Association who were leading the new adventurers just watched, either shaking their heads or nodding.

There is a burning fire on the stone bridge. Many people who go up the mountain will put a piece of firewood here to ensure that the flame does not go out and to warm their hands to resist the cold.

Jiang Yi's pure yang body ensures that he is not afraid of the severe cold. The feather clothes and the plush cloak on the outside make him even warmer.

As you move forward, you can see many wooden barrels and boxes on both sides of the road, with alchemical magic lights on them.

The barrel may contain wine, the box may contain minerals, or food or medicine.

It is quite lively at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.

Jiang Yi saw the treasure-hunting group gathered around the campfire, whispering and discussing how to obtain the treasure from a certain place.

We also saw the advance team of the Fatui, marching in a swagger and setting up tent camp.

The Fire Gun Guerrilla, who wore a hat, red clothes, and silver-white hair with a bright red eye; the Rock Envoy Guerrilla, who wore tan clothes, dark brown hats, and held a staff as tall as a person; and the Thunder Hammer Vanguard, who was burly and wore purple armor...

These Fatui soldiers who controlled elemental power looked at Jiang Yi warily.

Jiang Yi's appearance couldn't be more familiar to them.

According to gossip, the executive officer "Doctor" has already noticed this honorary knight, and the lady "Lady" seems to have summoned him. The other party even fought a draw with the executive "Young Master" in Liyue.

Before that, I challenged the "Dragon of the East Wind" again.

Jiang Yi felt that the way these Fatui looked at him and the emotions they exuded were not right. He silently read the strong consciousness on the surface. Was it "the pain of elemental torture?"

Perceiving cause and effect, I can’t see anything.

But an inexplicable whim.

Those who practice the art of divination naturally need to have confidence in their own intuition.

"The Fatui are going to do bad things in the snowy mountains? But this seems normal." He thought to himself, looked at the road ahead, and continued walking.

"What is that?" Yandora was a curious baby, and she pointed to a deep red stone on the side of the road.

"The Deep Red Stone is a strange crystal that was formed by the special environment of the Snow Mountain. It contains a certain warm power. After it is broken and picked up, it can maintain body temperature for a period of time."

The blood-red stones are very conspicuous on the snow-capped mountains. Although there are not many of them, they can save lives at critical moments.

Moreover, when this stone is thrown out, it can burst out with power and attack monsters.

After disappearing, the power returns to its original place along the earth veins and gives birth to a new one.

Jiang Yi smashed the deep red stone and handed it to Yandora.

"It's getting warmer." Yandora held a stone in her hands and could feel that the warmth was not long-lasting, only lasting for about twenty minutes.

Yandora played with it for a while and then threw the Deep Red Stone back.

The energy returned to the mineral base, and a complete new part grew on the red debris.

"How magical." Yandora turned around, "However, after Yandora takes it, the people who need it will have to wait. Yandora should leave this stone to others."

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded: "On the snowy mountain, there is ancient ice that is extremely hard and is not afraid of ordinary fire element attacks. If you don't have the Eye of the Fire Element God, or if you have the Eye of the Fire Element God but your strength is not strong, you can use the 'Deep Red Stone' to break the ancient ice, open up a road or get the treasure sealed in the ice."

He had a notebook in his hand. The special power within the Deep Red Stone was one of the topics he wanted to study when he came to the Snow Mountain.

The ice on the snow mountain is unusual, and the stone is also unusual.

According to records, if this Deep Crimson Stone gets the Teleportation Anchor Point and the Seven Days Statue, the Teleportation Anchor Point and the Seven Days Statue will reduce the power of the Deep Crimson Stone.

Absorption or rejection?

The essence of the warm power is a special fire element, or a special earth vein energy, or maybe it is... the crystal cultivated by the people of the ancient country that perished in the snow mountains, who once saved themselves.

Continue walking along the snow-covered road.

Jiang Yi saw a teleportation anchor point, and then looking from the teleportation anchor point, he saw a huge hollow tree stump with a silver-gray new tree growing inside.
