King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 278 Probing
"Om-"

On the steep mountainside, two space cracks suddenly appeared, and then two ferocious and twisted inhuman things came out of them.

"Where is this?"

Shuangluo looked around and saw gray-green rocks covered with snow.But why does the snow look a little yellow?

"You... look there."

Next to Shuang Luo, the voice of his companion came.It looked in the direction pointed by the rapids and saw the golden sky.

The top of the long peak is no longer sharp and pale, and a huge tree grows from the mountainside.

The giant tree exudes bright golden light, its trunk as strong as a side peak reaching straight to the sky, and its spreading crown almost covers the entire sky.

The faint golden color on the snow is probably caused by the debris spilled from the tree crowns.

"The previous...were the roots of this big tree?" Shuangluo looked at the golden tree in the distance and felt that his throat was a little dry for the first time.

When did this tree grow?
"I'm afraid so." Riptide's light blue eyes hidden under the helmet trembled a little, and the shock in its heart was no less than that of Shuangluo next to it.

Frostfall and Riptide stayed where they were, watching the land beneath their feet warily.I was afraid that a huge vine would suddenly sprout out of the ground.

However, the two of them were obviously overthinking it. The Golden Tree didn't notice them at all, or in other words, it noticed them, but didn't take it to heart.

"Huh--, let's go and take a closer look." Shuangluo breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why, it was naturally the best if the golden tree didn't target them.

"Yes." Riliu nodded, and then took the lead to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Although the snow-capped mountains in front of us looked thickly covered with snow, the temperature was not as cold as expected.

Frostfall and Torrent jumped towards the top of the mountain while observing this strange snow mountain.

But soon, they stopped.

After climbing over a side peak, the view of Frostfall and Rapids suddenly became clearer.The rugged gravel disappeared and was replaced by a vast expanse of green at the foot of the mountain.

and hazy cities surrounded by green.

"That's Mondstadt!" The two apostles' eyes widened sharply. The windmill below them remained unchanged for thousands of years and surrounded the entire city wall. These characteristics made the apostles recognize Mondstadt at a glance.

Since the city below is Mondstadt, then this should be the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain.

Frostfall and Riptide carefully scanned the rolling mountains and found some special landmark locations.

As for the rest, their appearance has already changed drastically.

Putting aside the terrain that changes when the golden tree grows, the snow removed from the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain alone is probably enough to make this mountain range covered in thick snow completely different from before.

The two apostles shook their heads. It was obvious that they had also thought of this.After sorting out their mood, Shuangluo and Riptide continued walking along the gentle zone.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the golden tree in front of the two apostles grew larger and larger until it almost filled their entire field of vision.

At this time, they were not far away from the top of the mountain.

"hidden!"

At this moment, Shuangluo's eyes narrowed, and after shouting at his companions, he jumped into the unfolding abyss passage.

When Riliu saw this, he jumped in without realizing it.The mountain, which was still a little angry at first, suddenly became quiet again.

"Swish!"

The tranquility did not last long, and the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves could be heard again in the deserted mountains.

Soon, a man wearing a bamboo hat and strange clothing walked out of a rock.

It's strange, mostly because the hat he's wearing is a bit too big.It made people wonder if he had torn off the umbrella hat somewhere and put it on his head.

"Huh? Such a familiar smell." Skirmisher sniffed his nose, and in the snow and gravel, he smelled a different smell.

He was familiar with that smell. After all, he had been exploring the abyss underground for a long time, and thus climbed to the sixth seat of the executive officer.

"Hey, I think if you are not as forgetful as the gophers, you should know who I am, right?"

The skirmisher stopped and said to the open space ahead.When he was underground, he had many fights with the apostles of the abyss. He believed that he must have left a deep impression on those difficult guys.

"Huh..." A slight breeze blew by, picking up the yellow leaves and weeds on the ground and blowing them past. Only a few crows followed suit.

It's a pity that this place is already close to the top of Longji Snow Mountain, and the crow can't fly up.The skirmishers waited for a long time, not even the crow's call came.

"Hmph, that's right. Let's compare who has the patience. Others may not know it, but I know it very clearly."

"It's hard for you to stay in the abyss passage, right?"

Not getting a response, the soldier felt a little annoyed.But he didn't show it on the outside. He just leaned against a rock and waited quietly.

As he said, it's better than patience. Although his patience is not very good, Skirmisher believes that the apostles of the abyss can't wait more than him.

Sure enough, the skirmisher didn't wait long before the elemental power around him began to fluctuate.

I have seen the abyss passage open many times, but this time the first thing to come out was not the body of the abyss apostle covered in robes, but an ice cone filled with cold air.

"Oh? Shuangluo? It seems I'm lucky this time!" The corners of the skirmisher's mouth rose, and thunder elements began to float on his body.

His evil eye is of the thunder element, so it is perfect for dealing with Frostfall, the apostle of the abyss who drives the ice element.

"boom!"

The purple thunder and lightning collided with the flying ice cone, and the ice cone immediately fell apart.The scattered ice mist finally made the too "soft" snow-capped mountains a little bit more chilly.

"Hahaha, if you don't run away now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance next time!"

The cold ice fog was not a trouble at all for the puppet-like skirmisher. He strode directly through the ice fog and laughed as he looked at Shuangluo walking out of the abyss passage in front of him.

"Don't think you know everything about the Order." Shuang Luo looked at the "human beings" in front of him, and he had an impression.

This guy is a human who went underground many years ago and seems to belong to an organization called "The Fools".

But for the Abyss Cult, what fools are there?Knight of the West Wind?Qianyan Army?There is no difference, they are all enemies.

A bright white light suddenly appeared on Shuangluo's arm, and then the ice elements quickly gathered together, instantly giving birth to an ice claw, firmly grabbing the skirmishers not far away.

"Huh? So fast!" The skirmisher felt the elements gathering in his perception. Before he could react, a cage made of solid ice grew out of the ground.

"But do you think it's useful?" Looking at the cold cage, the skirmisher covered his arms with thunder elements and punched hard!

"Crack!"

Just like shattering an ice pick, the skirmisher shattered the ice cage with one punch.

"As I said, don't think you know everything about the Order."

Another voice suddenly came from the ears of the skirmisher, catching him off guard.

Immediately, two aqua-blue cross water sabers appeared out of thin air in front of the skirmishers.

"two?!"

The skirmishers' eyes widened, and the two apostles went out together?He has never seen this situation before!

And this time they are two complementary apostles.

The water knife slashed to the side of the skirmisher, and the contraction pain was secondary. What was even more troublesome was the ice that was about to spread to the whole body.

"Ha!" The thunder snake stirred, and the thin ice formed on the skirmishers was instantly shattered.

Of course the apostles knew that it was impossible to freeze the skirmishers. What they wanted was just a flaw.

"Boy, be careful next time and don't be careless!" The aqua blue arm knife slashed at the cross-raised arms of the skirmisher, and the huge force instantly knocked him away.

"Boom!" Rubbles flew everywhere, and the skirmishers smashed a few rocks before they could stop.

Feeling the unusual touch on his blade, Riliu nodded to Shuangluo beside him and said solemnly:

"This guy is not human."

　The skirmishers in the executive era didn't have the Eye of God yet, I forgot about it before.
