My different world is game mode

Lindsay's quest was not a whim.

It's not like he has any inexplicable hobby of cave exploration.

It's because while falling into this huge ice cave, the taskbar on Lindsay's attribute panel was also updated!

【Ice City】

[Under the glacier lies the secret of the long past. Find and witness this ancient city that has been sleeping for a long time! 】

[Task reward: Hidden map of the frozen city, ancient gold coins. 】

"..."

"Lindsay, is there something wrong with your head?"

Hong didn't know about Lindsay's new discovery.

The girl also analyzed along the lines of thinking that it was impossible to detect the terrain on a large scale.

So on this vertical cliff, she reached out and patted Lindsay on the head:

"We have to go to the bottom of the Black Mountain now."

"It's somewhat irrational to make a sudden turn in a place like this, isn't it?"

Lindsay only looked back at you with a knowing look:

"Red, you know I have a lot of messy abilities."

Hong reacted immediately:

"Is there something down there?"

Lindsay replied:

"Yes, and it should be a city."

"City? It's the place where humans gather to live as you said." Hong said in a somewhat unconvincing tone, "Can people live in this damn place? You're not kidding like this, are you?"

Lindsay looked at the word 'frozen' written on the taskbar:

"I'm not kidding at all. There may or may not be people there, but there must be something there!"

The red general is doubtful:

"Then go down and have a look."

Now that we know there are secrets hidden under the glacier.

Lindsay certainly wouldn't miss it.

He crafted several daggers on his workbench to serve as ice picks.

The two of them headed down the vertical ice surface. For Lindsay, it even felt like going back to climbing the Babel Vine.

During the long and boring descent, Lindsay had another idea.

When he first entered the glacier, he confirmed the state of the ice here.

But there is a frozen city hidden beneath this location, so will there be any problems with the glacier that blocks it?

Thinking of this, when Lindsay was descending, he took a look at the ice wall in front of him.

[Material: ice cubes]

[The ancient ice containing freezing air is not naturally formed. 】

[Adding drinks can make ice drinks, but except in summer, the value is better than nothing. 】

——Ancient ice.

——Not naturally formed.

Of these two descriptions, one rules out that it is something made by the dragon beast; the other confirms that the glaciers here are not naturally formed.

Lindsay's mind flashed to what she saw on the ground.

How big is the actual area of ​​the glacier that surrounds Montenegro?

"Tsk——"

Lindsay curled her lips.

This is definitely not something that can be guessed by visual inspection.

And he also had some guesses about this frozen city.

The hidden frontier next door, the original elemental realm, was completely shattered in an ancient war.

Today, tens of thousands of years later, such an area has been restored.

And the world of Montenegro.

As the burial place of the Extermination Crown and the Righteous One, it must have been part of the battlefield at that time.

This city is buried under the glacier.

I'm afraid it was also a place that was affected by the war at that time!

Lindsay couldn't help but think of the name of those who had awakened to the fifth stage or above - upgraded ones.

Obviously, the awakened people before the fifth stage were just making small fuss.

But once this limit is crossed, subsequent ability progress becomes extremely exaggerated.

This world has specially formulated a watershed title for this stage of existence.

"Now it seems that it is quite appropriate."

I sighed with emotion at this discovery.

Lindsay did not deliberately hide information like a character in a horror movie, and immediately informed the girl next to her:

"Hong, the glaciers here should be man-made."

Hong's expression was stunned:

She was thinking of the six-stage monsters she had encountered:

"I think the sixth-stage monsters definitely don't have this ability, right?"

Lindsay pointed at the girl’s chest:

"But in that battle in the ancient past, the two of you who were at the peak of the eighth stage died together. There are still some traces left in this world, which is reasonable..."

"Um?"

During the chat.

From the corner of her eye, Lindsay noticed a change below.

The originally bottomless pitch black cave now had a hazy light!

brush--

Lindsay immediately put away the torch.

What did Hong realize:

"Are we almost there?"

Lindsay nodded in the darkness:

"Yes, be careful when you go down."

Seeing that they were about to reach the bottom of the cave, both Lindsay and Hong couldn't help but slow down their movements.

As the two people's positions continued to decrease.

The hazy light below gradually became clear.

What appeared in their field of vision was not a complete city, but a complete ice surface like the glacier above.

But here's the difference.

There are some fluorescent fungi growing on the ice here. Their crowns are shaped like half-open umbrellas. On the blue umbrella caps, there are wavy stripes mixed with granular protrusions.

It is these special fungi that provide light for this dark area.

"mushroom……"

Lindsay didn't react immediately.

But then, he realized that there was an unseen crisis below.

Cave buried deep under the glacier, fungi that reproduce by spores, fluorescent blue shapes.

When these factors come together, it is impossible to be a place where you can rest assured.

"Red, wait!"

Lindsay grabbed Hong next to her.

Under the girl's puzzled eyes, he made a mask out of brocade cloth and a fully enclosed helmet out of iron ingots.

"The air down there might not be right, bring these with you."

Lindsay protected the two of them before continuing to land.

When he reached the surface here, he took out his torch and shook it, and indeed he could see some tiny particles in the air.

"If you suck this thing in, it's probably quite exciting."

Lindsay sighed in a low voice, and at the same time walked to these fungi to investigate.

[Fungi: Phantom Ice Mushroom]

[Highly toxic fungi that live in extremely cold conditions will cause strong hallucinations after being eaten, and then death in the hallucinations. 】

[A rare and delicious mushroom with moderate value. 】

"It's so fresh?"

Lindsay picked one off and looked at the synthesis list.

[1 Magic Ice Mushroom + 1 Acid Corrosion + 1 Lime Powder + 1 Water + 1 Glass Bottle = Ice Corrosive Poison]

[1 Magic Ice Mushroom + 1 Ice Crystal + 1 Water + 1 Glass Bottle = Frozen Water]

[1 Magic Ice Mushroom + 1 Fire Flower + 1 Water + 1 Glass Bottle = Adaptive Temperature Potion]

"I think I can synthesize frozen water now?"

Everyone is here, so of course there is no reason to let go of the materials.

Lindsay immediately started collecting these mushrooms, and also obtained some [Mushroom Spores] during the collection process.

Lindsay has the airflow protection of a helmet, mask, and cloak, so of course she is not afraid of the environment here.

But to be on the safe side, he pushed Hong aside and let the girl take charge of guarding and vigilance.

A few minutes passed, and Lindsay had collected quite a few magic ice mushrooms.

Just when he was about to synthesize [Frozen Water], Hong beside him suddenly shouted to Lindsay:

"Lindsay, look here!"

The girl on the side said she was on guard, but in fact she was in a daze out of boredom.

With the help of the light of the torch, her eyes wandered wildly out of boredom, and she discovered an interesting fact.

Under the ice.

There seems to be a dark mass.

Just because the distance was too deep, Lindsay and Hong couldn't find it before.

"There's something frozen underneath the ice."

"Lindsay, is this the frozen city you mentioned?"
