The team members, with the newly - acquired power of the second attribute of the divine artifacts, resolutely embarked on their journey to the northernmost part of the wasteland world. The far north was well - known for its frigid climate, complex terrain, and mysterious perils.
All the way, the cold and fierce wind cut their faces like sharp knives. Heavy snow was falling, and their visibility became extremely poor. However, the team members didn't flinch at all. They supported each other and, with their firm will and rich experience, struggled forward in this harsh environment.
Finally, they reached the edge of the far north. The sight in front of them made them gasp. There was a vast ice field stretching as far as the eye could see. Gigantic icebergs stood on the ice field, some of which were so tall that they seemed to pierce the sky. There were also huge cracks on the ice field from time to time, so deep that one couldn't see the bottom. If someone accidentally fell into them, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Everyone, be careful. The environment here is even worse than we thought," Lynn tightened his clothes and reminded.
The team members carefully stepped onto the ice field. They found that the ice surface was extremely slippery. They had to be extra careful with every step, or they would slip. Moreover, there were all kinds of unknown dangers hidden on the ice field, such as sudden ice spikes and hidden underground rivers beneath the ice layer.
Just as they were moving forward carefully, they suddenly heard a low growl. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the ice field, which instantly made the team members' nerves tense up.
"What's that sound? Is there a monster in the ice field?" a team member asked nervously.
Lynn tightened his grip on his weapon. "Everyone, stay vigilant. No matter what it is, we must be ready for battle."
As the growl got closer, a huge figure slowly emerged from behind the iceberg. This figure looked like a giant polar bear, but there was a strange aura around it, and its eyes were shining with a greenish - blue light.
"This is a far - north ice bear monster. It has powerful ice - based magic abilities. Everyone, be very careful when dealing with it," a strategist said.
The team members quickly got into a battle formation. They knew that in the face of such a powerful monster, they had to work together to have a chance of winning.
The far - north ice bear monster opened its big mouth, let out a roar, and then rushed towards the team members. It was incredibly fast, bringing up a strong cold wind. The team members quickly scattered to avoid its attack.
"We need to use the power of the divine artifacts to attack it," Lynn shouted.
The team members concentrated and mobilized the power of the two attributes of the divine artifacts. A powerful energy beam shot out from their hands and headed towards the far - north ice bear monster. However, the far - north ice bear monster seemed to have anticipated this. It instantly released a thick ice shield, blocking the attack of the energy beam.
"Its ice shield has strong defense. We have to find a way to break it," an ability - user said.
So, the team members began to look for the weakness of the ice shield. They found that the bottom of the ice shield was relatively thin. "Let's concentrate our attacks on the bottom of the ice shield," Lynn commanded.
The team members concentrated their power again and shot the energy beam at the bottom of the ice shield. After some effort, the ice shield finally cracked.
The far - north ice bear monster noticed that there was a problem with the ice shield and became even more angry. It let out a roar and then released a huge ice cone, which shot towards the team members. The ice cone was moving so fast that the team members didn't have time to dodge it.
"Quick, get out of the way!" Lynn shouted loudly.
Just as the ice cone was about to hit the team members, a team member suddenly used the power of the first attribute of the divine artifact to form an energy shield, which blocked the attack of the ice cone.
"So close! Everyone, keep attacking," Lynn said.
Taking advantage of the far - north ice bear monster's anger, the team members increased their attack intensity. They kept firing energy beams and finally broke the ice shield. Without the protection of the ice shield, the far - north ice bear monster showed its weakness.
"Seize the opportunity and attack with all your might," Lynn shouted.
The team members rushed forward together and used their weapons and the power of the divine artifacts to launch a final attack on the far - north ice bear monster. After a fierce battle, the far - north ice bear monster finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ice field.
After defeating the far - north ice bear monster, the team members continued to move forward on the ice field. They found that there was a huge castle deep in the ice field. The walls of the castle were made of ice blocks and emitted a mysterious aura.
"Could that castle be the place related to the third attribute of the divine artifacts?" a team member guessed.
Everyone decided to go to the castle to find out. They carefully walked towards the castle. Along the way, they encountered some minor dangers, but they managed to solve them all smoothly.
When they reached the castle, they found that the castle gate was tightly closed, and there were strange runes engraved on it. These runes were different from the ones they had seen before, which really puzzled them.
"How can we crack these runes?" a team member frowned and said.
Just when everyone was worried, a low voice suddenly came from inside the castle: "If you want to enter the castle, you must pass three tests."
"What tests? Tell us quickly," I asked eagerly through the communicator.
The voice continued, "The first test is an intelligence test. I'll give you a puzzle, and you must solve it within the specified time. If you can't solve it, you won't be able to enter the castle."
As soon as the voice finished speaking, a huge puzzle appeared in front of the team members. It was a logical reasoning problem about some mysterious phenomena on the ice field, and it was extremely difficult.
The team members sat around and began to think seriously. The strategist used his wisdom and led everyone to analyze the puzzle together. After a heated discussion, they finally solved the puzzle within the specified time.
"Congratulations. You've passed the first test. The next one is a physical test. You must collect enough ice blocks from this ice field outside the castle within the specified time to repair a part of the castle wall," the voice said.
The team members didn't hesitate at all and immediately took action. They searched for ice blocks all over the ice field and then carried them to the castle wall. Despite the harsh environment on the ice field, the team members, with their tenacious perseverance, completed the task within the specified time.
"Good. You've passed the second test. Now, it's the third test, a courage test. You must enter a dark room inside the castle and face the fears inside. If you can overcome your fears, you'll be qualified to enter the depths of the castle," the voice said.
The team members looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with determination. They knew that this was the only way for them to obtain the power of the third attribute of the divine artifacts. No matter how dangerous it was, they were willing to move forward bravely.
Lynn was the first to enter the dark room. It was pitch - black inside, and one couldn't even see their own hands. There was a creepy atmosphere in the room. Suddenly, all kinds of terrifying illusions appeared in front of them. Some were hideous monsters, and some were terrible scenes. But the team members weren't scared by these illusions. They tightly held their weapons, concentrated, and tried hard to overcome their inner fears.
After a difficult struggle, the team members finally overcame their fears and walked out of the dark room. The voice rang out again, "You've passed the three tests. You can enter the depths of the castle now."
The team members walked towards the depths of the castle with excitement. They knew that there was probably a great secret related to the third attribute of the divine artifacts hidden there.
