After learning the skills, the upgrade is not urgent for a while. The first thing he has to do now is to find out the location and geographical environment of the frost dragon. He rushed there and did not have a suitable location. I'm afraid he can't even touch the skin of the frost dragon.
The location of the Frost Dragon is not a problem. There are dedicated map makers in the game, and now that the super boss Frost Dragon has become well-known throughout Snow City, there will definitely be corresponding maps available, but it's unknown how much they'll cost to buy. The more detailed and precise the map is made, the higher the price will undoubtedly be.
When Xiao Hua walked to the east gate, he saw several players shouting and selling maps standing on the edge of the city.
"Brother, what kind of map do you want?" One player named "Lan Zi Bu Hui Tou" who was in the middle saw Xiao Hua coming over and immediately asked with a smile.
"How to sell the map?" Xiao Hua showed a little curiosity, as if interested in the map, and whether to buy it or not has not yet decided. Xiao Hua knew very well that if he asked for the map of Frost Dragon directly, he would have to be knocked. The problem is that now he can't afford to be knocked even if he wants to be knocked.
"It depends on your brother's needs. Our maps are generally divided according to monster levels, with a map for each level of five or more. Based on your brother's level," Wandering Man did not look back and quickly introduced, "this map suitable for your level is for 15-20 level monsters. Brother, this is your first purchase, so I'll give you a discount, one gold coin."
The prodigal son rummaged through his backpack for a while before he found a map. Low-level maps are rarely needed, and he only kept one in his backpack just in case, but it turned out to be useful after all.
"I heard that there is a super BOSS frost dragon outside our city. Do you have a map to get there? I want to see what it looks like."
Why do you want to find the Frost Dragon at such a low level? Do you want to steal something by sneaking through the monster heap and running to the dragon with the help of thieves? What a naive little white, don't you know that the monster will sneak 10 levels higher than the character? I'm afraid I'll die back before I get halfway there!
The prodigal son found it funny that he didn't turn back, but he didn't say anything. As long as this rookie was willing to buy a map, he wouldn't bother with his business!
"Of course there is!" The prodigal son nodded without looking back. Thanks to the propaganda of the Frozen Trade Union, he has made a lot of money these days by selling maps of the Frost Dragon alone. I don't know how many of them have hung up before they are halfway there.
"There are two types of maps. One is just a simple route to the location of the Frost Dragon, which costs only 5 gold coins; the other one clearly marks the monsters and dangerous places that will appear on the route, as well as how to avoid them as much as possible. This one is more expensive, costing 50 gold coins. Which one do you want?"
After buying the skills, Xiao Hua had only four poor gold coins left on his body. When he pulled out the four gold coins on his body, Xiao Hua said with a wry smile, "I only have four gold coins. Do you want to sell them?"
The rogue looked at Xiao Hua's face and saw that he did not seem to be lying. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's make friends! My name is 'Rogue who does not turn back', you trade with me."
Xiao Hua applied for a trade, and when the rogue saw Xiao Hua's name, he couldn't help but laugh loudly: "Brother, what a great name! It has much more depth than my own!"
"Haha, same to you." Xiao Hua chuckled a few times and took the map before walking out of the city.
Outside the city gate, a scene of a thousand miles of ice and snow drifting in sight. Everywhere you look, all you see is a vast expanse of ice armor and snow! Facing such an endless expanse of ice and snow, Xiao Hua felt his chest open up, deeply inhaling before taking large strides forward.
With the stealth skill activated, Xiao Hua followed the map's directions and ran at full speed towards the direction of the Frost Dragon. The rogue guessed his intention, but he never expected that Xiao Hua's stealth skill had reached the level of a master. Unless encountering an eagle eye or true eye at the master level, otherwise, it can ignore the difference in levels for reconnaissance!
The map that the wanderer did not return traded to Xiao Hua was quite simple. There were only a big red dot representing Snow City and a red winding line leading directly to the location of the Frost Dragon on the map. However, the wanderer did not return still had some professional spirit, making some simple annotations at some key locations and more obvious places on the map, otherwise Xiao Hua would definitely not find the correct route.
After Xiao Hua ran for four hours through the endless ice and snow, he finally saw a mountain range stretching across the distant horizon before nightfall. As he got further away from Snow City, the monsters became increasingly powerful. In this area, the monsters were already level 40, so any touch would send him back to town. Therefore, Xiao Hua was very careful about the duration of his stealth, waiting thirty seconds at a location without monsters before continuing.

Another half hour later, Xiao Hua walked under the Snow Mountain Range and found the entrance to the Ice Wind Gorge on the map in a short time. There were several branches inside the Ice Wind Gorge, only one of which led to the resting place of the Frost Dragon, the Thousand-Year Ice Lake. If you are not careful, you will get lost.
The monsters inside the Icewind Gorge are generally much higher level than those outside the ice plains and snowfields. The lowest is the 45-level Ice Wolf at the entrance, gradually deeper in, reaching the millennium ice lake of the Frost Dragon, where the monster levels will increase to 55, more than a dozen levels higher than most players' current levels!
After entering the Icewind Gorge, small whirlwinds will occasionally blow inside the gorge. If you are hit by these whirlwinds, it won't cause any harm, but it will put you in a negative state of reducing movement speed by 50% and increasing physical strength consumption. Without a priest with higher-level dispel skills, if you are hit by the small whirlwinds and then encounter monsters, you will basically only have the result of being killed.
The small whirlwind was silent and faintly white. It was a little difficult to find under the cover of snow. However, if you observe carefully and do not fight with monsters, it is not very difficult to avoid. At least Xiao Hua followed the map and did not encounter any trouble until he reached the first fork in the road. However, the more he went inward, there were more and more monsters. Xiao Hua was very worried about whether he could find a place not seen by the monsters.
According to the markings on the map, there are a total of four fork roads. The first three are all three-way intersections. The first one is selected from the leftmost among the three roads, the second one is selected from the rightmost, and the third one is selected from the middle. The fourth one has five roads, and the last but second from the right is selected.
In a pile of densely packed monsters, Xiao Hua carefully moved his steps. If it wasn't for the super concealment effect of the master-level stealth, these monsters that were nearly forty levels higher than him would have already discovered his figure and torn him to pieces.
System Tip: You reach the new map Millennium Ice Lake, gain experience 10000!
Another hour later, after the dim night, Xiao Hua finally reached the Thousand-Year Ice Lake. Just clearing a new map rewarded him with 10,000 experience points, showing how advanced this map was! An hour ago, when he entered the Ice Wind Gorge, he only gained 1,000 experience points.
Underfoot is a land of glaciers. Judging from the name of the map, it used to be a big lake, but now it has condensed into such a smooth glacier land in the extreme cold. Looking around, on this not very large map, Xiao Hua saw a dark red 55-level black monster named Frost Tyrannosaurus.
One by one, the little frosty tyrannosaurs stood on the ice with their feet, and their short front paws slightly lifted. Their long and fierce heads would occasionally cautiously look around, moving back and forth on the ice. Judging from the number, there were probably more than two hundred of them.
Xiao Hua slowly dodged the frost Tyrannosaurus and walked to the inside of the Millennium Ice Lake. The topography of the thousand-mile ice lake is like a circular mirror. 300 or 400 meters away from the entrance is the resting position of the frost dragon.
After walking for ten minutes, Xiao Hua stealthily reached the middle of the ice surface and could clearly see the frost dragon.
A huge silver dragon, more than thirty meters long, quietly stretched out on the ice surface. Occasionally it raised its head to lick its powerful and muscular wings. Unlike these ferocious fire-red ice frost little tyrannosaurs, every movement of the ice frost dragon was so elegant and graceful.
Xiao Hua did not continue to walk over. The position where he is standing now is not patrolled by Frost Tyrannosaurus. He must find a suitable position on this map so that he can safely go online when the Frost Dragon's blood is almost consumed by the Frost Union. Along the way, Xiao Hua realized that on the day when the frozen trade union pushed the BOSS, he had no chance to come in except for getting off the production line in the Millennium Ice Lake in advance. The bifurcation paths were too narrow. Ten soldiers could block the road once they stood there. He had no chance to sneak over.
His eyes slowly swept across the ice surface, but there was nothing on the ice surface except for a smooth and shiny patch. The surrounding walls of ice crystals that were several tens of feet high were also as smooth as a mirror, with no place to hide. Xiao Hua suddenly had no idea what to do.
Seeing that the time for stealth was running out, it was too late to turn back. After carefully examining the surrounding environment again, Xiao Hua thought he would have been better off with a Time and Space Illusion Magic Scroll, which could capture this environment and study it repeatedly.
The magic scroll of time and space illusion is to let players use the camera function, but it's just a fancy name. All city general stores sell them, but they are ridiculously expensive, costing one hundred gold coins each. Xiao Hua, this poor guy, naturally couldn't afford it.
Xiao Hua originally planned to return to the city of death. The Frost Dragon was right in front of him, so he would not just die back without doing anything.
Quietly moving forward, Xiao Hua gradually approached the Frost Dragon. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Hua realized just how enormous the Frost Dragon was. He stood in front of one of its toes, and it was taller than him by a head!
The Frost Dragon still quietly crouched on the ice, unaware that a despicable thief had already approached it and set its sights on its treasured possessions.
When the monster is fully healed, the success rate of stealing will be greatly reduced. However, even a beginner's stealing skill may succeed, let alone his skills have reached the level of master!
Xiao Hua used his skill with confidence, stealing!
Touching near the side of the Frost Dragon, Xiao Hua didn't hesitate to take action!
The Frost Dragon immediately sensed that an evil human was hiding in the air and had used a trick on it!
A roar, a stream of dragon breath with crystal-like brilliance burst out from the mouth of the frost dragon!
The range of Longxi's attack is extremely wide, Xiao Hua has nowhere to hide!
5,000!
A string of red numbers floated from Xiao Hua's body. Even if he had hundreds of HP, let alone several times more, he would still end up being killed instantly!
But in the moment of turning into white light, Xiao Hua looked at the system prompt he received and smiled without regret.
System prompt: You have obtained the free skill book "Ice and Snow"!
Now, his only prayer is that this skill book doesn't get dropped when he dies!
