This skin does not have a lifespan task, but this 'survival of the fittest' talent is also really powerful. The lower the lifespan, the faster it can evolve to adapt to the current harsh environment. Simply put, the owner of the talent will basically not be affected by the surrounding environment.

Death from harsh environment.

Of course, if you suffer physical or magical attacks, hunger, bleeding, etc., you will still die.

[Your skin quantity is full, do you want to use the Vampire Count skin to devour this skin? Note: After swallowing, you will fully inherit the talents and curses of the skin, and you will also receive an additional random curse.]

This skin talent is also a talent that can benefit combat, and like the Vampire Count, it has a 'sunburning' restriction during the day, so it can basically only be used at night, and can be swallowed directly with the vampire skin.

[You merged the 'Servant Rodney' skin into the Vampire Count skin.]

[The fusion is successful, and your Vampire Count skin has gained the talent ‘survival of the fittest’ and the curse ‘greed’.]

[Fusion Curse Randomly... The Vampire Earl's skin has acquired the curse 'High Myopia': the scenery three meters away is blurry to you, you'd better get glasses as soon as possible.]

Mu You raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, the talent this time was very powerful, and the curse that was randomly generated was not weak. The curse of myopia, even if it was a life-type skin, would have a huge impact on combat skins.<

/p>

"Backtrack!"

Mu You pressed the pocket watch and rolled the curse again.

[…You have obtained a random curse ‘Memory of Death’: every time you die, your upper limit of health will be permanently reduced by 100 points.]

"Backtrack!"

[…You have obtained a random curse ‘Silver Fear’: Silver utensils are your weakness, and once you are stabbed by silver utensils, they will cause high damage to you.]

"Looking back..."

……

The next batch of random curses were indeed quite powerful. After Muyou randomly selected them dozens of times, he finally picked out a relatively less terrifying curse.

[Death punishment: The experience and lifespan you lose every time you die is increased by ten times.]

A tenfold increase may seem scary, but in fact, it means losing one year of lifespan once you die, to ten years of lifespan once you die. After all, lifespan can be obtained infinitely. No matter how much is deducted, it will still make up for it.

The chance of coming back, unlike the previous one that deducts the upper limit of health, cannot be replenished, and will become less and less until the body becomes a glass bottle that dies at the touch of a touch. That is the truly terrible curse.

Moreover, it is not that easy to kill him under the skin of a vampire.

So Muyou stayed on this curse and did not continue to do it randomly.

After collecting the skins, the next step is the highlight reward: Heart of Mist.

[Heart of Mist: Creates a large-scale annular fog around it. The scope of the fog can be controlled. People in the fog may become disoriented.]

This thing is indeed the source of the fog around Misty Mountain. Mu You has personally experienced the effect of fog. It can be said that if he didn't have the jack-o'-lantern, it would be impossible to find the entrance to the tomb.

To put it bluntly, this thing is an escapist artifact. No wonder the vampire clan needs this thing. With its cover, these shady vampires can open clan meetings normally.

It is a very powerful treasure, but if Mu You takes it away directly, the fog in the Misty Mountain will subside, and the tomb will be exposed to most people's eyes. Therefore, usually this bead must be stored in the Misty Mountain first, and it will be used when it is really needed.

Take away and use.

After looking at the two trophies, Mu You didn't take a break. He controlled the character to get into the fireplace and prepared to go to the top of the mountain to have a look.

The dwarf blacksmith also left him a map of the top of the mountain before. It is said to be the location marked on the map, which shows the storage location of a piece of 'cold iron essence'. This thing is a necessary material for repairing the synthesis furnace. It is available now.

The ability to survive on the top of the mountain, Mu You is ready to get this thing back immediately to avoid long nights and dreams.

[You climb all the way up the stone chimney. Ten minutes later, you finally reach the chimney exit.]

【You have arrived at the top of the misty mountain.】

[Under the severe cold of the snow-capped mountains, your health begins to decline rapidly...]

[...Your health has dropped to one point. Under the influence of the survival of the fittest talent, your health has stopped losing.]

[Although you have been so cold that your hands and feet have sores, your consciousness is blurred, and the bones and flesh in your body have almost stiffened into lumps of ice, you are still surviving tenaciously...]

Mu You shivered in the study. Under the influence of pain sharing, he could clearly feel the stinging pain from the extreme cold around his body, as if countless tiny needles were pricking his body.
p>

The pain after reducing it ten times is the same. It is really hard to imagine the level of pain that the game characters in the opposite star world are experiencing.

[With trembling hands, you took out the ‘simple misty mountain top map’ and started looking for the location marked on it along the map...]

[You found an ‘Ice Spirit Grass’, which is a relatively rare ice spiritual plant that only grows in extremely cold snowy mountains. It is an important ingredient in many frost potions...]

[Cut by the sickle, you collected ‘Ice Spirit Grass’*1 and medicinal herb essence*1.]

……

[You found a 'Snowball Cattail', which is a cattail fruit growing on snowball grass. It looks like a dandelion. The cilia on the surface are snowflakes made of ice crystals. They will fly to other places with the cold wind.

, until it blooms and bears fruit again, it is one of the main materials for refining ice resistance agents...]

[Cut with a sickle, you collected ‘Snowball Cattail’*1 and medicinal herb essence*1.]

……

There are many ice-type spiritual grasses on the top of the snow mountain. Plants that can survive in such cold weather are often relatively rare. It is completely worth the effort to pick them. Unfortunately, because the body is frozen, ordinary mounts cannot withstand this place.

Due to the temperature, Mu You could only walk on two legs and moved very slowly. It took about half an hour to pick a single herb.

Fortunately, because it is too cold, there are basically no monsters visible on the top of the mountain. Even if he wanders back and forth with a little blood, there is no need to worry about being attacked.

[After a difficult trek in the ice and snow, you finally arrived at the location marked on the map.]

[You searched around and found nothing...]

[You searched around and found nothing...]

……

When he arrived at the place, Mu You jumped around the area more than ten times, and even sprinkled a handful of lucky dust, but still failed to trigger any text prompts.

Ordinarily, if there is metal hidden in such a plain view, it should be easy to find it under a jack-o'-lantern.

"Has it been taken away by someone?"

Mu You couldn't help but think of this possibility.

After all, hundreds of years have passed, and there is a chance that someone has been nearby and discovered the iron spirit.

But he didn't give up that easily. After all, the dust was all used up. The reserve of this thing is not much now. Only the last bottle and a half is left, which can be used about seven times. The key is that after the moth fairy disappeared, the dust was gone.

Supplementary methods, use it once and you will lose it once. He was very unwilling to use dust but got no results, so he expanded the search range and continued to search nearby.

Fortunately, after searching around the area, he actually found some clues.

[Under the strong glow, you see some strange hexagonal snowflake-shaped ice crystal traces on the ice and snow in front of you, extending in one direction and disappearing into the night. Do you want to follow them?]

"Snowflake shape?"

Mu You was stunned. He thought he had found some kind of footprints, but it turned out to be just traces.

"Track it!" No matter what it is, you have to check it out first.

[You follow the traces of hexagonal ice crystals and soon arrive in front of a snow cave. The traces disappear into the dark snow cave ahead.]

[You choose to step into it. This is a carefully carved ice and snow cave, surrounded by walls made of smooth ice crystals, and under your feet is a flat, mirror-like frosty ground.]

[You see an irregular stone pillar placed deep in the cave. The top of the stone pillar is condensed with ice crystals to form a snow nest, and a spherical silver metal is placed in the snow nest.]

[This is a piece of cold iron essence. This active metal is like a ball of unconscious slime, squirming in the snow nest. As it collides with the surrounding frost, the metal surface creates ripples like water waves.]<

/p>

Han Tie Jing, I found it indeed!

However, the description in this text is a bit strange. The iron spirit was stored in a snow cave, and this snow cave was actually 'smooth as a mirror'. From the description, it seemed as if it had been artificially created.

Are there still people living on this snowy mountain?

[You walk deeper into the cave and come to the snow nest, wanting to pick up the iron spirit.]

No matter what, since I found the iron spirit, I definitely can’t let it go, so I’ll collect it first.

However, he didn't expect that just when he was about to succeed, an accident happened.

[Just when you touched the metal, you suddenly heard a "Fu" cry from behind.]

[You subconsciously looked back. What appeared at the entrance of the snow cave was a little fox with silver hair. When he saw you stealing the iron essence, he immediately bared his teeth at you angrily, and then raised his paws. The next moment

, countless ice spikes emerge from the cave, flying towards you one after another.]

[The stiff body caused your movement speed to be greatly reduced. You were unable to react in time and were instantly hit by countless ice spikes, losing your last bit of life.]

[You have died, experience value -100, life span -10 years...]

"Damn!"

Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it. Sure enough, something lived here!

He hurriedly pressed the pocket watch, and then clicked 'Life Barrier' on the panel as quickly as possible.

[Time passes, you go back to five seconds ago, and immediately cast a 'life barrier' on yourself with a wave of the staff.]

[Due to the influence of the extreme cold state, your singing speed is 300% slower than usual.]
