At this mont, the sky was slightly brightening. Xu Xin and Li Wenxi were both gazing silently at the giant peak in the distance, lost in thought.
Just then, Xu Xin heard a notification.
[Detected tree house decoration level over 500, gained today’s random augntation: arm strength augntation, effective for one day. Additionally, you can select a second augntation from historical augntations.]
Arm strength augntation?
Xu Xin imdiately felt a surge of heat flowing crazily through his arms, before finally calming down.
At the sa ti, he felt his arms filled with power, different from re strength augntation, akin to yesterday’s jumping power augntation, as if his arms were transford, infused with an inexplicable force.
Another augntation of physical abilities.
Yesterday was jumping power augntation, enhancing his legs. Today, it’s enhancing the arms?
However...
This augntation seems to have arrived just in ti!
If they were to climb the mountain, this arm strength augntation would be a great aid indeed!
He felt that his arms were now incredibly strong; if he were to grip the rock face, fatigue and inability to hold steady wouldn’t be an issue. Instead, exerting force might make him leap upwards just like with the jumping power augntation.
A good augntation!
This random augntation seems tailored to appear alongside the giant peak.
"What’s up?" Li Wenxi noticed Xu Xin staring at his hands silently, his expression slightly joyful, and asked curiously.
"Nothing, today’s random augntation ca." Xu Xin smiled and explained his day’s augntation to her.
"Isn’t that just perfect?" Li Wenxi was a bit envious, "It’s really nice, this random augntation brings small surprises every day!"
[Random augntation] is a reward during the first phase’s rainy season for those on the rainy season activity leaderboard, aning those who dispelled the waterspouts before dark. Globally, only a few dozen people have received this reward.
Since the second phase began, he hadn’t received such a special ability for a long ti. He wondered if this giant peak might bring so surprises.
At this point, an unpleasant noise from the teleportation portal erged and reached their ears.
The two glanced out the window.
Outside, everything was covered in snow. Though the snow around the tree house wasn’t very deep, it had buried most of the coordinates, yet it didn’t affect the condensation of the teleportation portal’s outlet, a purple-black vortex.
The vortex fluctuated, and Ji Chaoyang leaped out from the portal, landing into the snow over a ter deep.
Xu Xin and Li Wenxi exchanged a glance, then swung down from the tree house together.
The area around the tree house, initially cleared of snow, now also had a ter-thick layer of snow.
The two wrapped snow fox scarves around themselves. Xu Xin took out a fully charged electric skateboard, embraced Li Wenxi by the waist, and stepped onto the board.
With a slight tap of his back foot, the motor whirred, the skateboard instantly started, reaching Ji Chaoyang’s side in seconds.
Ji Chaoyang was wearing goggles, looking northwest, carefully observing the peak less than a kiloter away from this spot.
"How is it? Any discoveries? Are there ntions of these giant peaks in your prophecy?" Xu Xin’s snowboard stopped in front of Ji Chaoyang. Ji Chaoyang’s previous prophecy had co true yesterday morning; now, there should be a new prophecy.
Ji Chaoyang turned, removed his goggles, his gaze sowhat grave: "My next prophecy is a scene exploring a closed space, sowhat similar to our last cave entrance. I assud it was underground. But now it seems it might have sothing to do with these stone pillar peaks."
"Are you saying we might be able to enter the interior of this stone pillar peak?" Li Wenxi, also wearing snow goggles, analyzed the stone peak.
"I tend more towards... climbing up to take a look." Ji Chaoyang stared at the snow-covered peak nearby, speaking slowly.
Then, surprisingly, he glanced at Li Wenxi; he hadn’t expected her to be one step ahead.
"Indeed, the grappling hook in the points store is perhaps designed for climbing this stone pillar snow peak." Xu Xin lifted the retractable grappling hook already worn on his wrist.
"There aren’t any unusual creatures or markings on this giant peak’s rock face, but judging by appearances, it seemingly looks like a normal stone pillar peak." Ji Chaoyang analyzed.
"We can only approach it to explore."
The three withdrew their gazes from the stone peak.
"Perhaps, we can just ignore it and mind our own business?" Li Wenxi suggested, "It doesn’t seem to be affecting us much."
Ji Chaoyang shook his head: "Anything appearing in this world has a reason. This might be similar to the first phase’s activity, a unique activity of this phase. Survivors who don’t explore might lose sothing."
Xu Xin’s thoughts were slightly different: "Not every tree house nearby has a stone pillar peak. There is one every six or seven tree houses. It’s not easy for those far away to co over. Not everyone might need to explore it, but considering this second phase leans towards team cooperation, we ’Explorers’ should at least fully understand one stone pillar peak to know what it represents."
"...You have a point, I’ll go back and prepare a bit. I originally planned to ask you to explore that giant’s stone arm today; I thought the scene in my prophecy was while exploring the stone arm. But now, it seems it’s best to prioritize exploring this snow peak," Ji Chaoyang rubbed his temples, admitting that today’s change was indeed unexpected.
