Chapter 71 Unexpected encounter
Chapter 71 Unexpected encounter
"Phew, it's so cold." Saoerha let out a sigh of relief, rubbing his hands together.
This is the third day they entered the snow mountain.Gosmed Snow Mountain is vast and boundless. Starting from the foot of the mountain the day before yesterday, he and Conte Baker walked up the gentle ridge. Because the snow was too thick, it barely reached the belly of the woolly beast, which greatly affected their speed. .
Only then did Sol realize that the crimes of that night were not in vain. Even though he was wearing a thick leather jacket, he still felt chills all over his body, and the cold wind with snowflakes blew on his face like a knife.If he hadn't been rubbed with the ice crystal python's grease that night, it's really hard to imagine what he would look like now.
"We've already gone half way. If things go well, we'll be able to approach Naman Peak the day after tomorrow, where Brevila lives." Conte Baker, who was pulling the woolly beast in front, said.
In order to save animal power, the two walked on their feet after going up the mountain.Conte Baker's physical strength is extremely terrifying. He led the way in the high-altitude snow mountain against the cold wind, but he showed no signs of fatigue. Sometimes he even had to push the woolly beast that refused to leave.
Sol naturally didn't have such a good body. After walking for half an hour in the snow that was almost waistless, he climbed up the woolly beast panting, and refused to come down again.There is no way, who told us to be mental.
Hearing Kante Baker's words, Saul groaned loudly, and walked in this ghost place for two days?Damn Brevila, can't you just learn from Elebena and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in?
"Roar..." At this moment, the woolly beast led by Conte Baker roared uneasily.
Conte Baker stopped immediately and looked at the snow-capped mountain with a vigilant face.Flying snowflakes stuck to his beard and eyebrows, making him look like a statue made of ice and snow.
"What's wrong?" Saul asked strangely.
"Listen carefully." Conte Baker made a silent gesture.
Thor pricked up his ears, and there was no abnormality at first, but soon, he heard a dull rumbling sound coming from the direction of the top of the mountain, like a big tide rushing down.
"Then... what is that?" A bad feeling came to him.
"It's an avalanche." Conte Baker was as calm as if nothing had happened.
"..." A cold air rose from the soles of Sol's feet to the top of his head in an instant: "My god!"
He knew very well how terrible it would be if an avalanche occurred under this level of snow.Well, to put it bluntly, it is dead!
Conte Baker quickly glanced left and right, pulled the frightened fur-legged beast and ran to the right: "Run, hide under the cliff over there!"
At this time, as the rumbling sound gradually increased, the rushing white snow rolled down the hillside with the momentum of thunder, enveloping the snow along the way, and its momentum became more and more violent.
Seen from a distance, the whole snow-capped mountain seemed to come alive. Countless snow piles rushed down the mountain one after another, and the snow and mist splashed like a tsunami, almost covering the sky.Below the snow slope, a few small black dots are rushing desperately towards the cliff on the right. Under this earth-shattering snow tide, they appear so insignificant.
The avalanche came extremely fast and was unstoppable.In an instant, the front of the snow wave rushed forward, and large groups of snow slammed into Sol and the others, and even the wind turned into a terrible whining sound.
Frightened and desperate, the fur-coated beast ran away, leaving behind two long snow trenches.Sol lay tightly on the beast's back, the back of his head was smashed by snow, and his heart almost reached his throat.
The snow was getting closer and closer, and Contebek, who was running ahead, saw that the situation was not good, turned around and pulled Sol off the back of the woolly beast, carried him on his shoulders and continued to run.
"What about the luggage?" Saul asked in surprise, and was immediately unable to lift his head due to a burst of snowflakes.
"It's too late!" Conte Baker exclaimed.
Before the words were finished, a roar was heard, and the furry beast running behind turned its body and was knocked down by a wave of snow, and then submerged in the rushing white snow, without a trace.
The remaining woolly beast was terrified, almost buried its head and rushed forward, but soon suffered the same fate as its companions, and disappeared from Sol's vision after three times and five times.
The two fur beasts almost died next to Conte Baker, and Sol, who witnessed the whole process, was frightened out of his wits.The power of nature is too terrifying. In front of it, human beings have no chance to resist at all.
The billowing snow waves had reached their feet, continuously washing their bodies.Relying on his strong body, Kantebek managed to crash out after being submerged in snow several times.
At this juncture of life and death, the terrifying physical potential of the savage of the frozen plateau of Conte Baker was fully realized.The snow covering his thighs hardly affected his speed at all. Roaring furiously, he bravely pushed forward in the overwhelming white snow, rushing towards the only way of life that was only a dozen meters away.
Just as they were about to approach the cliff, there was a sudden bang, and Xue Beng's team finally arrived.As a shadow covering the sky and the sun enveloped the two of them, a huge amount of white snow fell on their heads like a tsunami.
"Dead!" Facing such a scene, Thor even despaired in his soul.
"I won't die!" Conte Baker roared, shrugging and leaping forward.
In the next few seconds, everything in the world slowed down like a slow motion.Conte Baker jumped up, miraculously skipped the last few meters, and almost passed the rushing snow waves.
After everything returned to normal, the two escaped to the sky and fell straight down a cliff more than ten meters high into the snow below.Following the rumbling sound of the avalanche covering the sky and the earth, countless snow waves continue to rush downwards. Through the protruding part of the cliff, the avalanche forms an unreachable space under the cliff, and only a few snowflakes cover that place. Al and Conte Baker managed to escape the disaster.
I don't know how long it took, the avalanche that seemed to cover the sky and the earth finally stopped, and the snow mountain also returned to its original tranquility.The thick snow under the cliff trembled twice, and Kante Baker turned over and climbed out with Sol in his arms.
"Huh..." Both of them lay down hard in the snowdrift, gasping for breath.
It was too dangerous just now, as long as half a second at night, once they were swept into the snow, the two of them would not know where they were buried at this moment, and it would take thousands of years to be dug out.
"Master Saul, are you alright?" Cante Baker asked after a short break.
Sol nodded. He spread his limbs and lay on the soft snow, accepting the sunlight unscrupulously.It feels so good to be alive, just for a moment, he really has the consciousness of dying.
Looking up and looking around, after making sure that there was no danger, Conte Baker stood up: "Then, let's continue walking."
Sol couldn't help admiring his psychological adaptability. Look, he had escaped from death just now, and he immediately calmed down as if nothing happened. This kind of psychological quality is called stability.
"But I lost all my luggage, what should I do?" He also got up.
In the snowy mountains, there is no provision, no tents to keep out the cold, and no furry beasts for transportation, which is tantamount to suicide.Cante Baker doesn't think that he can reach the dragon's lair with just two feet and an empty stomach?
Conte Baker shook the icicles on his beard: "We have to think of a way. We are already in the center of the snow mountain, and we have no time to go back. We can only go forward."
Saul knew that what he said was the truth, so he had no choice but to follow Conte Baker to move on.
"It's so strange, how could Duanduan encounter an avalanche?" He couldn't help muttering in his heart.
At the same moment, on the top of a mountain in the distance, Rulet and the others stared dumbfounded at the avalanche below.
After being stunned for a while, Meine jumped up and said, "It's amazing, Ruret, did you see that? Laris, Cardo, did you see it? I just yelled at the valley just now, and it turned out like this , a lot of snow, it’s so fun.”
Rulet smiled wryly and looked at Cardo. Just as he was about to speak, Meine put his hand to his mouth: "I'll do it again and see if there will be more snow this time. Hey..."
Her yell had just swirled in her throat when Laris covered her mouth.
This magician who has always been as calm as ice, now has a slightly distorted handsome face: "Shut up..."
"Huh?" Mene murmured in confusion, looking at him with wide eyes fluttering.
It was so fun just now, why don't you let me call again?
"From now on, we must keep a close eye on this girl, otherwise I don't know how to die." By coincidence, the other three made such a decision.
************************************************** ************************
"Conte Baker, haven't you arrived yet?" Sol shrank into a ball, trembling all over.
After encountering an avalanche in the morning, the two walked to the present by their feet. Cante Baker is okay, but Sol is tired and hungry, and he is already exhausted. In the end, Cante Baker dragged him completely.
At this moment when night fell, the temperature on the mountain plummeted, and one foot stepped on the thick snow, Sol felt as if he had fallen into a glacier, and all the heat from his body was sucked away.
"Be patient for a while longer, Mr. Saul, we will be here soon." Conte Baker said and put Saul on his back.
As for where to go, neither of the two of them knew. Anyway, if they went on in the current state, they would freeze to death in this mountain sooner or later.
Sol let out a long breath, and fell on Kante Baker's shoulders weakly.Damn, I really have no strength, just die, no matter what, let me sleep first.
Just as his consciousness was gradually blurring, he suddenly heard Kante Baker exclaim in surprise: "Look!"
Sol looked up in a daze, and saw a little flame jumping on the mountain peak in front of him, which was extremely dazzling in this snow-capped mountain that was completely silent.
"Someone!" The two regained their spirits.
If there is fire, it means that there are people, and if there are people, it means that there is food, and there is food...
Gulu... two belly sounds not to be outdone clearly expressed their state at the moment.
"Go forward, our journey is the sea of food." Sol cheered up, straightened up and pointed forward, majestic.
"Roar!" There was a primitive and wild growl from his throat, and Kante Baker rushed forward with big strides.
Stimulated by the food, Conte Baker once again unleashed the barbarian's amazing physical potential.Carrying Sol on his back, he broke through the ice and snow, and moved forward bravely. A billow of snow and dust rose behind him like a dragon.
Getting closer, getting closer, the two of them could already see that the light of the fire was coming from a cave in front, and at the same time, the air was filled with a tempting aroma of barbecue.This excitement caused the two hungry guys to lose their last bit of sanity. Before they could find out the details of each other, they rushed straight away like hungry tigers...
At this time, in the warm cave, Rulet turned over a snow wolf roasted on the bonfire, sprinkled a pinch of spices carefully, and then took a deep breath: "It smells so good."
As a senior adventure group, they have been out for a long time, and camping and camping are commonplace, so they have naturally developed the ability to live comfortably in any environment.
"Okay, it's time to eat, huh?" He was about to call his companions over for dinner, when he was suddenly startled.
At the same time, Kado turned his head and looked out of the cave: "Something is approaching..."
Before the words were finished, a huge black shadow rushed in with a gust of wind, and a burst of snowflakes was thrown in the cave in an instant.Before everyone could see what was coming, a strange change happened again, a slightly thin shadow swished out from the back of the giant, and rushed towards the snow wolf meat on the grill in the air.
"Eat!!!!!!!" The shrill cry pierced the eardrums.
"What is it, the vicious white bear? Or the elusive mandrill?" Rulet grabbed the hilt of his sword.
Just when everyone in the adventure team was on the verge of an enemy, they suddenly heard a distressed scream, followed by the thin black shadow and rolled to the ground: "My God, I'm scalded to death, I'm scalded to death..."
"Wow?" The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.
In an instant, the cave was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, the six people stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Why, why are you?" Saul grinned and touched the blisters around his mouth, breaking the silence first.
Rulert froze for a moment, then smiled: "Why are you here?"
"Don't worry about it, give us something to eat first, hurry up!" Saul urged repeatedly.
Rulet smiled and glanced at Laris and Cardo, who were facing the enemy, and pulled out the Dragon Slaying Sword Besirus, turned the hilt upside down and handed it over.
"It's baked just right, don't be shy, just eat it."
half an hour later...
"Phew, I'm finally alive." Sol patted his bulging stomach and sighed comfortably.
Most of a snow wolf was eaten by him and Conte Baker. The hungry barbarian is still fighting with a wolf leg. His food intake left Rulet and the others stunned.
"Why are you here?" At this moment, Kado asked in a deep voice.
Sol, who was picking his teeth, glanced at him: "I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing up the mountain?"
Laris snorted: "This is our business."
Sol shrugged: "Then don't worry about anyone else, but thank you for your hospitality."
"You... how did you do this?" Ruret pointed to the embarrassed Sol.
Sol spat out the meat in his mouth, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, it's fucking unlucky. I walked well in the morning, but suddenly encountered an avalanche, my luggage was gone, and I almost lost my life. "
"Pfft!" Luret, who was drinking water, spat it out in one gulp.
"What's wrong?" Saul asked strangely.
"Ahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing." Rulet laughed dryly with a guilty conscience: "You should eat more."
Sol waved his hand: "I can't eat any more, you can give it to Conte Baker. But seriously, you have to go up the mountain, right? Take us for a ride, we have no luggage or supplies, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach our destination. "
Before Rulert spoke, Cardo snorted: "I refuse."
"Why?" Sol was surprised: "We all know each other anyway, shouldn't we help each other when we encounter difficulties on the road?"
Laris said coldly: "We have a task ahead of us, and we don't need other people's involvement. Besides, I won't let scammers mix into the team."
"Damn!" Speaking of this Sol, he became angry: "Who is the scammer? I haven't held your adventurer's guild accountable yet. If it weren't for you greedy guys, how could I do that kind of thing?"
Laris said disdainfully: "Do you want to blame us again?"
Sol was furious: "Originally, if it wasn't for the Adventurer's Guild's intentions against my Lovell, how could I have cheated you of your money?"
"Wait, what did you say?" Rulert and Kado looked at each other in surprise: "You said that our guild intends to get involved in Lovell, what's going on?"
"You don't know?" Even Sol was taken aback.
"There must be some misunderstanding in this, please make it clear." Kado said solemnly.
Saul looked at the three of them and felt that they did not seem to be fake, so he finally nodded: "That's good..."
As he said that, he told them all about the adventurers he met when he first arrived in Lovell, and the guild representative Cole came to threaten him.
Finally, he spread his hands: "You say, such a big guild, why can't you get along with my small territory? I'm just protecting myself, so can I be blamed for what happened to Ferry?"
"You, are you serious?" Rulert was stunned for a while and asked uncertainly.
"You really don't know?" Saul straightened up in surprise.
"Know what? Oh, it's delicious..." Meine raised her head and asked in confusion, before continuing to munch.
The three of Rulet looked at each other, and Cardo said: "We really don't know about this matter. We only vaguely know that the guild values Lovell more, but we didn't expect the high-level executives to use such a method."
They don't even know about that?Sol couldn't help but fell into deep thought, saying this was a private action of the upper echelon of the Adventurer's Guild.So what exactly do they want from Lovell?
"Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, then we don't owe anyone else, just take us for a ride, and I will leave naturally when we get to the place." Saul said with a hippie smile.
Laris still shook his head: "I'm sorry, we are operating in secret and cannot bring other people with us."
"Don't say that, if it weren't for that avalanche, I still don't want to go with you if you beg me. Do me a favor, because everyone is so familiar." Sol continued to plead.
"Avalanche?" At this time, Mene raised his head again: "Is that an avalanche in the morning? It's fun, I just shouted at the valley, and so much snow fell down the mountain..."
In the cave, it was quiet again.
"Oh?" Sol's face was covered with black air: "Little sister, do you think you caused it?"
"Oops..." Rulert was shocked, and just wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"It's me." Meine was innocent and cute, telling the truth.
"Wow!" Sol was furious, stepped on the luggage in front of Ruret, and raised his middle finger fiercely: "I said how could it be such a coincidence, it turned out that you made a mess."
"I'm sorry, it was just an accident..." Rulet looked away guiltily.
"Look at me when you say that!"
Sol looked like a shrew: "Pay our luggage, and there are two fur beasts. Adventurers can mess around? I won't finish with you if I don't make it clear today!"
How can Ruret have anything to compensate him?But one's own side is wronged, and one cannot pretend not to know.Even Kado and Laris lost their temper this time, and could only watch Sol get mad.
"If you don't pay, let us go with you." Saul made a condition.
Rulert said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to. The place we are going this time is very dangerous. If we take you with us, it will cause danger to you instead."
Thor felt disdainful: "Don't make excuses. Dangerous? Can you still pass the dragon's lair?"
"Ah!" Rulet exclaimed, "How do you know..."
"Are you going to the dragon's lair?" Sol was also taken aback. It's not such a coincidence: "I'm going there too."
Everyone looked at each other for the third time, and for a moment they didn't know what to feel.
"You're not a lord in Lowell, why did you come here to find that dragon?" Kado couldn't help asking.
Secretly, you think I want to?Sol sighed, and told them about the previous necromancer attacking Lovell, taking Marlene's soul away, and chasing him here.
Finally he said: "So, I came here by accident."
"The Necromancer Guild has always kept a low profile, how could it openly attack the kingdom's territory?" Rulert asked in surprise.
Sol spread his hands: "You ask me, who should I ask? I still want to know."
Rulet and the others were greatly confused. In connection with the abnormal behavior of the Adventurer's Guild and the Necromancer's Guild, is it possible that a little Lovell really has something that can make these two organizations salivate?
If they knew that even Cliff, the majestic Bahrain lord, was thinking about Lovell, their jaws would drop, right?
Saul patted the stunned Luret: "Don't look petrified, I'm used to it. Who told me to spend eight lifetimes on such an uneasy territory."
He followed up and said: "Don't talk about this, since everyone has the same goal, we should go together. You have equipment, and I have a guide here." He pointed to Kante Baker: "Kan Tebaker is the white bear under the mountain. The barbarians of the tribe know the way to the dragon's lair. It's better for everyone to walk together and help each other than to run around blindly, right?"
Having said that, Rulert was finally moved.After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"Ha, I didn't expect that we will be together one day." Saul said happily.
It will definitely benefit him a lot to get help from Rulert and the others.He is very aware of the strength of this group of guys. It is a matter of no confidence to go up the mountain to find Bailong. Who knows what kind of temper this dragon is?If there is a disagreement, he and Conte Baker are definitely just a side dish between his teeth.
But it will be different if these guys are with you, at least life will be a little bit guaranteed when the time comes, won't it?
"By the way, I've already told you what I did. How about you, can you tell me?" Saul bumped into Rulet and asked in a low voice.
"I've already said, this is..." Cardo with pointed ears frowned.
"Okay, okay, just don't ask." Sol quickly waved his hand.
Anyway, he has no interest in what the other party wants to do. Everyone has different goals and cooperates better.
"By the way, I want to ask you something." While the others were not paying attention, Rulert suddenly said mysteriously.
"what?"
"Miss Elebena, do you know any news about her?" Rulert's eyes flashed eagerly.
Sol was stunned, this guy was still thinking about the woman who defeated him, but this girl is not something we humans can afford.
Naturally, he couldn't reveal the news about the female dragon to Rulert, so he had to say: "We broke up after we escaped from Ferry that day. Speaking of which, all the money I cheated will be taken away by her. If you want to settle accounts, you should go to her." .”
This matter is not nonsense, so Sol's face of indignation is not fake, anyway, it is not the first time he has done the thing of throwing sewage behind others.
Ruret showed disappointment when he heard the words, sighed and stopped talking.
Everyone was resting in this cave that night. Seeing Laris cast a wind barrier to keep the cold wind out of the cave, Sol was very envious. It would be nice to have a magician.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, this makeshift team officially set off and headed for the top of the mountain.
Under Sol's suggestion, the marching team made adjustments.Conte Baker, who knew the way, was at the front, Roulet was in the middle, and the others were sandwiched between them and at the end.
This is the method Sol came up with based on the climbers he had seen before. Since they will climb steep cliffs and ice walls, their safety without professional climbing equipment has become a big problem.With this arrangement, the ropes are used to string everyone together in times of danger. No matter which person stumbles, it can ensure that others have enough strength to hold him and avoid accidents.
Although everyone was surprised by his weird method, it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully.After witnessing the miracle of Sol's overnight bridge building, no one dared to underestimate his weird ideas.
As a result, the first team in the history of Majna with modern mountaineering industry standards was formed under Saul's initiative.
************************************************** ******************************
"Does this really work? I always feel weird." Luret tightened the rope around his waist, trying to squeeze his feet into a crack in the rock.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's climb up." Sol gasped heavily, trying to look up at the cliff top that seemed out of reach.
Here is a steep cliff that goes straight up and down and is covered with ice. At this moment, a group of six people are hanging in the middle of the rock wall like geckos, carrying out primitive and arduous rock climbing activities.In front of Sol is Rulert, behind him is Laris, and further forward are Megne and Cardo, with Kante Baker climbing on top.
"Laris, how are you, can you still do it?" Rulert lowered his head and asked.
Laris, who fell at the end of the line, nodded: "Go ahead."
With Laris' magic power, he could reach the top of the cliff by using the flying technique, but obviously he couldn't use his magic power unrestrainedly, otherwise he would collapse due to exhaustion of magic power before reaching the top of the mountain.Therefore, the magician with the weakest physical strength in the team can only climb with bare hands like everyone else.
However, his perseverance was quite astonishing. Even Saul was about to cry out several times that he couldn't stand it anymore, but he actually persisted without crying out.
Suddenly, Laris stepped on a piece of ice, slipped on the sole of his foot, and fell down.
Sol, who was crawling in front of him, was immediately implicated, and he felt a strong pull down, and he couldn't hold back and fell down.Knowing that something was wrong with Laris, Sol hurriedly yelled: "Rulette, hold on!"
Hearing the voice below, Rulet knew that an accident had happened.Before Sol could finish his sentence, he slammed his body against the rock wall, stuck his hands and feet in the cracks of the rock, followed by a muffled groan, and forced to hang Sol and Laris.
The people in front hurriedly turned their heads when they heard the abnormal noise, only to see Sol and Laris dangling in mid-air with ropes hanging on them.Menie screamed, "Laris, are you alright?"
"Quickly, pull the rope up." Cardo quickly grabbed the rope to help Luret share the weight.
After a while of panic, with the efforts of everyone, Sol and Laris finally climbed back to the rock wall.Thinking of the adventure just now, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for this rope, Laris would probably have finished the game.
Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Sol glanced down, just as Laris was also looking at him, both of them smiled with lingering fear.After the adventure just now, the relationship between the two parties has finally become much more harmonious.
After that, the six people were cautious, for fear of another accident.You must know that this method is safe, but if the main force, Kante Baker or Rulert, makes a mistake, it may implicate everyone.At that time, it would be really bad luck for one person to fall off the cliff and get involved.
Half an hour later, Conte Baker was the first to reach the top of the cliff.With him pulling on the top, the people below will be much more relaxed.After a while of procrastination, the team finally arrived at the destination.
"My god, it's incredible that I was able to climb up." As soon as he reached the cliff, Sol lay down on the snow, panting heavily.
The others were not much better, but as an experienced adventurer, Kado still managed to stand up and stare at the surrounding situation.
"Huh?" He quickly realized something was wrong.
On the snowy ground not far from everyone, there was a bunch of messy footprints, extending all the way to the depths of the snow mountain.Cardo greeted, and the others surrounded him.
After squatting down to check for a while, Kaduo said: "It wasn't long before. Judging from the direction of the footprints, they climbed up from the other side, and there were about 30 people."
"Is it the savages down the mountain?" Roulet asked.
Cardo shook his head: "Probably not, these footprints are relatively small, and they should be about the same size as us."
Conte Baker also said: "It's not a tribe at the bottom of the mountain, we won't go up the mountain with so many people."
Who would that be?Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Gosmed Snow Mountain is usually inaccessible, and it's hard to find a monster on the mountain. How about this? There are so many of them here. Are you holding a party?
"It seems that the other party has the same purpose as ours. They are going to the top of the mountain. Before you find out the situation, everyone be careful." Ruret looked around vigilantly.
After resting for a while and untying the ropes on their bodies, everyone followed these footprints to the mountain.It can be seen that the group of people has quite good quality and discipline. These footprints have always maintained a line of more than two meters wide, stretching forward like a long snake, and no one left the team halfway. Obviously, they have always maintained a marching line.
The more they walked, the more curious they became about this group of mysterious people. Could it be that they also went for the white dragon when they came to the snow mountain in this extraordinary period?
After walking for about an hour, after turning over a snow slope, they finally encountered each other unexpectedly.
The six people had just turned over the snow slope, and immediately saw a group of people sitting and resting down the slope.Almost at the same time, the other party also spotted them, and with the sound of swords being drawn, they immediately put on a vigilant attitude.
This is a group of men wearing leather clothes, all of them are capable, some are carrying ropes, some are carrying digging tools, but without exception, they are all fully armed, and the number of them is about 30.
Next to these people were a few woolly beasts carrying supplies, obviously they also came prepared.
Apparently, this encounter made neither side expect that a group of people down the slope and six people up the slope just stared at each other, without making any further moves for a long time.
"See where they came from... Ah!" Saul just asked Ruret, and then exclaimed.
Under the snow slope, Ferino, who was wearing a thick leather jacket to keep out the cold, was also staring at Sol with a surprised expression.
"Cliff's men, why did he appear here? Could it be that these guys are from Bahrain?" Sol was shocked.
"Why, you know each other?" Ruret asked strangely.
The secret way is more than acquaintance, they are almost familiar.Sol whispered to him: "These guys are very dangerous. If you want to survive, listen to my advice and kill them first!"
Lu Leit was stunned. He didn't even know who the other party was, so he wanted to start a fight. Think we are bandits?He scratched his head and said to everyone: "You wait, I'll go down and ask them."
"Be careful." Kado nodded, stretched his bow and put on an arrow, and Laris also concentrated on preparing a spell.
"Don't go..." Saul was about to stop him, but Rulert had already stepped downhill.
Damn.Cursing secretly, Sol took a step back and whispered to Conte Baker: "Get ready, and run if something goes wrong later."
Intuitively, Conte Baker has already noticed the slightest tension between the two sides.Hearing Sol's words, he nodded silently.
Since seeing Sol, Felino's eyes have never left him. Obviously, he and Sol were equally surprised by each other's appearance.Stared at by his half-smiling gaze, Sol only felt hairy all over his body.
Damn, it's really lingering, no matter where you go, you can get involved with the guy from Bahrain.
*
At this time, Rulet had already walked down the snow slope, and both sides kept a distance vigilantly.Raising his hands to indicate that there was no malice, Rulet said, "I am the adventure team affiliated to the Adventurer's Guild. My name is Rulert. May I ask who you are and what are you doing here?"
No one answered, only a few men looked at Felino, obviously waiting for his instructions.
"Adventurer's Guild? We are from Bahrain, entrusted by Lord Cliff, to search for gold mines." Felino pointed to the digging tools brought by some people.
As he spoke, he raised his voice and smiled at Sol: "If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Mr. Sol from Lowell Territory? Why did he change his career and become an adventurer?"
Saul smiled: "I didn't know that Mr. Ferino changed his career to become a miner."
"To each other, the times have been difficult recently, so we have to start a side business." Felino smiled, and the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
It's a pity that apart from the two of them, the other men, including Kaduo and others, stared at each other solemnly, and the atmosphere did not relax at all.Only Mene looked at these two seemingly happy guys inexplicably, the scene was extremely weird.
"We have a mission and want to pass here, is that okay?" Rulert said slowly.
At this moment, his eyes passed over Ferino, and he was firmly attracted by another person.It was a man sitting on the ground with a huge sword in his hand. He was extremely tall, almost as tall as Kante Baker.What is even more striking is that in the cold snow mountain, other people are wearing thick leather jackets, but he is wearing a cold black full body armor.
From the beginning to the end, the man remained silent, as if he had no reaction to what happened outside.Feeling Rulet's gaze at this moment, he turned his head slowly.
Meeting the eyes in the gap of his helmet, Rulet couldn't help but startled: "Why does it seem like I've seen this person somewhere?"
At this time, Felino laughed and said: "This snow mountain is not ours, of course you can go there."
Before the words were finished, Kado exclaimed on the snowy slope: "Be careful!"
Unexpected change suddenly!
Without any warning, the man in front of Ruret raised his sword and slashed at him. At the same time, he heard a whistling sound, and an arrow shot down from the top of the mountain.
"Ugh!" A man was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and fell to the ground screaming.
At the same time, Rulet pulled out the dragon-slaying sword, choked the swords of those people away, and quickly backed away.
"Gru, kill them, don't let that Sol go!" Felino turned around and shouted.
After chanting the last incantation, Laris stared: "Hail!"
Fist-sized hailstones appeared in response, overwhelming the enemies below.The group of men were about to give chase when they were hit by hailstones so that they couldn't lift their heads.
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!There was a chaotic sound, and Gru, who was wearing a full body of heavy armor, stepped in front of Felino, blocking all the hailstones, and countless ice shards flew around like a snowstorm.
After the spell passed, Gru rushed forward a few steps, and slashed at Rulet with the giant sword in his hand like lightning.At this time, Rulet was about to climb up the slope, and when he turned around, the giant sword had reached the top of his head.
Unable to dodge, he had no choice but to raise his sword.Gru's sword was extremely powerful, and with a loud bang, Rulet was forcibly chopped and fell to the ground, half of his body sinking into the snow.
On the snow slope, Kaduo fired a few more arrows, forcing the man who was trying to charge away from behind.These people have very good sword skills. Except for a few people who were injured, Kaduo, the archer, has not killed a single one so far.
"Ah Hua, fat, come on!" Meine called out Bat Leopard and Armored Bear with a wave of his hand, and pointed at Gru.
Amidst the roar, two demonic beasts leaped down from the snow slope, at this time Gelug's second sword had just been raised.Facing the onslaught of two large monsters, he didn't even give in, and just stood there and swung the giant sword!
"Aww!" The bat leopard who was the first among them was swept by a sword, and was sent back to its owner in a ball of white light.
The huge armored bear shrank into a ball, and using the thick bone armor on its back, it hit Gru like a ball.Hearing a loud bang, Gelu actually hugged the armored bear weighing nearly a ton with one hand, and he only took two steps back, which shows how terrifying this guy's strength is.
Throwing the armored bear to the ground, Gru held up his huge sword and thrust it at the bone ball. There was another burst of white light, and the second monster was easily dealt with.
"Ah..." After two monsters were killed in a row, Meine squatted on the ground clutching her head in pain.
Just a moment's delay, Rulet jumped up. Taking advantage of Gru's slack, he slammed into his arms with one step, and the dragon sword in his hand sank into his lower abdomen.
The sharp dragon-slaying sword pierced through the heavy armor and pierced Gelu's abdomen.However, this serious injury, which is enough to make ordinary people lose their mobility, did not affect him in the slightest.
Grabbing Ruret's shoulder with his free left hand, Gru raised the giant sword and was about to thrust it into his back.Rulet was horrified, is this guy a monster?
At the critical juncture, he squatted slightly, and a shock shook him outward from his body.The strong impact made Gru let go of his hand involuntarily, and staggered back a few steps.
"Bait..." This was the first time he spoke so far.
Being directly hit by his own fighting spirit, this guy was fine. Ruret only felt a chill rise from the back of his head to the top of his head.Seeing that the rest of the men had surrounded him from the left and right, he gritted his teeth and thrust the Dragon Slaying Sword into the ground with both hands, his whole body exploded with fighting energy.
In an instant, there was a blast of thunder on the ground, and the snow on the ground centered on him, billowing up like ripples, and pushing it around in a mighty way.Those men were caught off guard and immediately turned on their backs.
It has only been 1 minute since Rulet and Grew came into contact, but it is already dangerous, which shows the intensity of the battle.At this moment, Laris finally completed his second magic.
"Frozen spell!" He pointed at Gru below.
Crackling... With a burst of ice cracking, a large mass of ice emerged from Gru's feet, quickly stretched up along his legs, and spread to his waist in a moment, forcibly freezing Gru in place.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rulert turned around and ran, and climbed to the middle of the snow slope three times, five times and two times. Conte Baker stretched out his hand and lifted him up.
The men below saw that they were too late to catch up, and many people took out their bows and arrows to shoot here. With the sound of swishing, the arrows flew over the heads of the crowd, causing the chaos to become unbearable.
Gru struggled twice, and raised his fist violently to hit the ice ball.With a loud bang, countless spider web-like cracks appeared on the smooth surface of the ice mass, and it was about to shatter in sight.
"My god!" Several people on the hillside turned pale with shock. Laris's magic power is extremely powerful. This freezing technique can't be broken even by an earth rhino. Is this guy human?
"There are too many people on the other side, run away!" The secret road told you not to go, now you know how powerful it is?Sol bowed his head to avoid an arrow, and shouted.
Rulert is not a brave person, and he nodded his head when he heard the words: "Retreat!"
Cardo heard the words and shot several more arrows, turned around and pulled Laris to run: "Don't let them catch up!"
"Leave it to me!" Mene, who recovered from the mental blow, immediately called out the monster water lizard.
As expected of the ace team of the Adventurer's Guild, they cooperated very well. Just as Rulet and the others retreated, the water lizard lay on the ground, lowered its head and opened its mouth to spray on the hillside.
The water lizard is an intermediate-level monster of the water system. With a breath of freezing air, the snow-covered slope immediately froze.The soles of the men who were trying to rush up slipped and rolled down in embarrassment.
"Oh, it's so scary, let's go!" An arrow whizzed past Menel, scaring the girl's neck back.After helping the glasses that were about to fall off, she retracted the water lizard and ran away.
With a snap, Gru crushed the ice block that sealed him.But at this time, the hillside was empty, and Sol and others had already disappeared without a trace.
"Stop chasing." Felino called to stop several men who were about to chase.
"Are you okay?" He walked up to Gru, pointing to the wound on his lower abdomen.
Gru shook his head: "They...I...have seen..."
Felino hummed: "I know, it's in the capital, right? I really didn't expect to meet Sol here. What are those guys doing up the mountain? Could it be because of that dragon..."
After fighting for a while, the place was in a mess, and the snow on the ground was trampled in a mess.Five or six men were wounded by arrows, and they were bandaging their wounds. They were all elite fighters from Bahrain, but they couldn't even do anything to the opponents, and everyone felt very unwilling.
Walking down the frozen hillside, Ferino stepped on the slippery ice surface and murmured: "What a mistake, because magic is useless to dragons. I didn't bring a magician this time. Who would have met someone else? If If Mr. Buffett is around, they will not let them escape."
Gru took off his helmet, revealing his scarred and mottled face: "Then...I..."
"No." Felino waved his hand: "We have more important things to do, and we can't undo the seal yet. If I'm not wrong, their purpose should be the same as ours. It seems that we must rush to the dragon first. hole."
After thinking for a while, he said again: "And they have seen you before. It is best not to take off your armor unless it is absolutely necessary. It will be troublesome if your killing of Morant is leaked."
Gru nodded, and put on his helmet again without saying a word.
"Mr. Cliff needs a large amount of funds. We must get the treasure in the dragon's lair as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer." After pondering for a moment, Felino raised his voice: "Let's go, go immediately!"
The men quickly packed up everything and set off immediately.For a moment, apart from a messy snowfield, there was no one to be seen here.
(End of this chapter)
"Phew, it's so cold." Saoerha let out a sigh of relief, rubbing his hands together.
This is the third day they entered the snow mountain.Gosmed Snow Mountain is vast and boundless. Starting from the foot of the mountain the day before yesterday, he and Conte Baker walked up the gentle ridge. Because the snow was too thick, it barely reached the belly of the woolly beast, which greatly affected their speed. .
Only then did Sol realize that the crimes of that night were not in vain. Even though he was wearing a thick leather jacket, he still felt chills all over his body, and the cold wind with snowflakes blew on his face like a knife.If he hadn't been rubbed with the ice crystal python's grease that night, it's really hard to imagine what he would look like now.
"We've already gone half way. If things go well, we'll be able to approach Naman Peak the day after tomorrow, where Brevila lives." Conte Baker, who was pulling the woolly beast in front, said.
In order to save animal power, the two walked on their feet after going up the mountain.Conte Baker's physical strength is extremely terrifying. He led the way in the high-altitude snow mountain against the cold wind, but he showed no signs of fatigue. Sometimes he even had to push the woolly beast that refused to leave.
Sol naturally didn't have such a good body. After walking for half an hour in the snow that was almost waistless, he climbed up the woolly beast panting, and refused to come down again.There is no way, who told us to be mental.
Hearing Kante Baker's words, Saul groaned loudly, and walked in this ghost place for two days?Damn Brevila, can't you just learn from Elebena and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in?
"Roar..." At this moment, the woolly beast led by Conte Baker roared uneasily.
Conte Baker stopped immediately and looked at the snow-capped mountain with a vigilant face.Flying snowflakes stuck to his beard and eyebrows, making him look like a statue made of ice and snow.
"What's wrong?" Saul asked strangely.
"Listen carefully." Conte Baker made a silent gesture.
Thor pricked up his ears, and there was no abnormality at first, but soon, he heard a dull rumbling sound coming from the direction of the top of the mountain, like a big tide rushing down.
"Then... what is that?" A bad feeling came to him.
"It's an avalanche." Conte Baker was as calm as if nothing had happened.
"..." A cold air rose from the soles of Sol's feet to the top of his head in an instant: "My god!"
He knew very well how terrible it would be if an avalanche occurred under this level of snow.Well, to put it bluntly, it is dead!
Conte Baker quickly glanced left and right, pulled the frightened fur-legged beast and ran to the right: "Run, hide under the cliff over there!"
At this time, as the rumbling sound gradually increased, the rushing white snow rolled down the hillside with the momentum of thunder, enveloping the snow along the way, and its momentum became more and more violent.
Seen from a distance, the whole snow-capped mountain seemed to come alive. Countless snow piles rushed down the mountain one after another, and the snow and mist splashed like a tsunami, almost covering the sky.Below the snow slope, a few small black dots are rushing desperately towards the cliff on the right. Under this earth-shattering snow tide, they appear so insignificant.
The avalanche came extremely fast and was unstoppable.In an instant, the front of the snow wave rushed forward, and large groups of snow slammed into Sol and the others, and even the wind turned into a terrible whining sound.
Frightened and desperate, the fur-coated beast ran away, leaving behind two long snow trenches.Sol lay tightly on the beast's back, the back of his head was smashed by snow, and his heart almost reached his throat.
The snow was getting closer and closer, and Contebek, who was running ahead, saw that the situation was not good, turned around and pulled Sol off the back of the woolly beast, carried him on his shoulders and continued to run.
"What about the luggage?" Saul asked in surprise, and was immediately unable to lift his head due to a burst of snowflakes.
"It's too late!" Conte Baker exclaimed.
Before the words were finished, a roar was heard, and the furry beast running behind turned its body and was knocked down by a wave of snow, and then submerged in the rushing white snow, without a trace.
The remaining woolly beast was terrified, almost buried its head and rushed forward, but soon suffered the same fate as its companions, and disappeared from Sol's vision after three times and five times.
The two fur beasts almost died next to Conte Baker, and Sol, who witnessed the whole process, was frightened out of his wits.The power of nature is too terrifying. In front of it, human beings have no chance to resist at all.
The billowing snow waves had reached their feet, continuously washing their bodies.Relying on his strong body, Kantebek managed to crash out after being submerged in snow several times.
At this juncture of life and death, the terrifying physical potential of the savage of the frozen plateau of Conte Baker was fully realized.The snow covering his thighs hardly affected his speed at all. Roaring furiously, he bravely pushed forward in the overwhelming white snow, rushing towards the only way of life that was only a dozen meters away.
Just as they were about to approach the cliff, there was a sudden bang, and Xue Beng's team finally arrived.As a shadow covering the sky and the sun enveloped the two of them, a huge amount of white snow fell on their heads like a tsunami.
"Dead!" Facing such a scene, Thor even despaired in his soul.
"I won't die!" Conte Baker roared, shrugging and leaping forward.
In the next few seconds, everything in the world slowed down like a slow motion.Conte Baker jumped up, miraculously skipped the last few meters, and almost passed the rushing snow waves.
After everything returned to normal, the two escaped to the sky and fell straight down a cliff more than ten meters high into the snow below.Following the rumbling sound of the avalanche covering the sky and the earth, countless snow waves continue to rush downwards. Through the protruding part of the cliff, the avalanche forms an unreachable space under the cliff, and only a few snowflakes cover that place. Al and Conte Baker managed to escape the disaster.
I don't know how long it took, the avalanche that seemed to cover the sky and the earth finally stopped, and the snow mountain also returned to its original tranquility.The thick snow under the cliff trembled twice, and Kante Baker turned over and climbed out with Sol in his arms.
"Huh..." Both of them lay down hard in the snowdrift, gasping for breath.
It was too dangerous just now, as long as half a second at night, once they were swept into the snow, the two of them would not know where they were buried at this moment, and it would take thousands of years to be dug out.
"Master Saul, are you alright?" Cante Baker asked after a short break.
Sol nodded. He spread his limbs and lay on the soft snow, accepting the sunlight unscrupulously.It feels so good to be alive, just for a moment, he really has the consciousness of dying.
Looking up and looking around, after making sure that there was no danger, Conte Baker stood up: "Then, let's continue walking."
Sol couldn't help admiring his psychological adaptability. Look, he had escaped from death just now, and he immediately calmed down as if nothing happened. This kind of psychological quality is called stability.
"But I lost all my luggage, what should I do?" He also got up.
In the snowy mountains, there is no provision, no tents to keep out the cold, and no furry beasts for transportation, which is tantamount to suicide.Cante Baker doesn't think that he can reach the dragon's lair with just two feet and an empty stomach?
Conte Baker shook the icicles on his beard: "We have to think of a way. We are already in the center of the snow mountain, and we have no time to go back. We can only go forward."
Saul knew that what he said was the truth, so he had no choice but to follow Conte Baker to move on.
"It's so strange, how could Duanduan encounter an avalanche?" He couldn't help muttering in his heart.
At the same moment, on the top of a mountain in the distance, Rulet and the others stared dumbfounded at the avalanche below.
After being stunned for a while, Meine jumped up and said, "It's amazing, Ruret, did you see that? Laris, Cardo, did you see it? I just yelled at the valley just now, and it turned out like this , a lot of snow, it’s so fun.”
Rulet smiled wryly and looked at Cardo. Just as he was about to speak, Meine put his hand to his mouth: "I'll do it again and see if there will be more snow this time. Hey..."
Her yell had just swirled in her throat when Laris covered her mouth.
This magician who has always been as calm as ice, now has a slightly distorted handsome face: "Shut up..."
"Huh?" Mene murmured in confusion, looking at him with wide eyes fluttering.
It was so fun just now, why don't you let me call again?
"From now on, we must keep a close eye on this girl, otherwise I don't know how to die." By coincidence, the other three made such a decision.
************************************************** ************************
"Conte Baker, haven't you arrived yet?" Sol shrank into a ball, trembling all over.
After encountering an avalanche in the morning, the two walked to the present by their feet. Cante Baker is okay, but Sol is tired and hungry, and he is already exhausted. In the end, Cante Baker dragged him completely.
At this moment when night fell, the temperature on the mountain plummeted, and one foot stepped on the thick snow, Sol felt as if he had fallen into a glacier, and all the heat from his body was sucked away.
"Be patient for a while longer, Mr. Saul, we will be here soon." Conte Baker said and put Saul on his back.
As for where to go, neither of the two of them knew. Anyway, if they went on in the current state, they would freeze to death in this mountain sooner or later.
Sol let out a long breath, and fell on Kante Baker's shoulders weakly.Damn, I really have no strength, just die, no matter what, let me sleep first.
Just as his consciousness was gradually blurring, he suddenly heard Kante Baker exclaim in surprise: "Look!"
Sol looked up in a daze, and saw a little flame jumping on the mountain peak in front of him, which was extremely dazzling in this snow-capped mountain that was completely silent.
"Someone!" The two regained their spirits.
If there is fire, it means that there are people, and if there are people, it means that there is food, and there is food...
Gulu... two belly sounds not to be outdone clearly expressed their state at the moment.
"Go forward, our journey is the sea of food." Sol cheered up, straightened up and pointed forward, majestic.
"Roar!" There was a primitive and wild growl from his throat, and Kante Baker rushed forward with big strides.
Stimulated by the food, Conte Baker once again unleashed the barbarian's amazing physical potential.Carrying Sol on his back, he broke through the ice and snow, and moved forward bravely. A billow of snow and dust rose behind him like a dragon.
Getting closer, getting closer, the two of them could already see that the light of the fire was coming from a cave in front, and at the same time, the air was filled with a tempting aroma of barbecue.This excitement caused the two hungry guys to lose their last bit of sanity. Before they could find out the details of each other, they rushed straight away like hungry tigers...
At this time, in the warm cave, Rulet turned over a snow wolf roasted on the bonfire, sprinkled a pinch of spices carefully, and then took a deep breath: "It smells so good."
As a senior adventure group, they have been out for a long time, and camping and camping are commonplace, so they have naturally developed the ability to live comfortably in any environment.
"Okay, it's time to eat, huh?" He was about to call his companions over for dinner, when he was suddenly startled.
At the same time, Kado turned his head and looked out of the cave: "Something is approaching..."
Before the words were finished, a huge black shadow rushed in with a gust of wind, and a burst of snowflakes was thrown in the cave in an instant.Before everyone could see what was coming, a strange change happened again, a slightly thin shadow swished out from the back of the giant, and rushed towards the snow wolf meat on the grill in the air.
"Eat!!!!!!!" The shrill cry pierced the eardrums.
"What is it, the vicious white bear? Or the elusive mandrill?" Rulet grabbed the hilt of his sword.
Just when everyone in the adventure team was on the verge of an enemy, they suddenly heard a distressed scream, followed by the thin black shadow and rolled to the ground: "My God, I'm scalded to death, I'm scalded to death..."
"Wow?" The four of them looked at each other in blank dismay.
In an instant, the cave was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, the six people stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Why, why are you?" Saul grinned and touched the blisters around his mouth, breaking the silence first.
Rulert froze for a moment, then smiled: "Why are you here?"
"Don't worry about it, give us something to eat first, hurry up!" Saul urged repeatedly.
Rulet smiled and glanced at Laris and Cardo, who were facing the enemy, and pulled out the Dragon Slaying Sword Besirus, turned the hilt upside down and handed it over.
"It's baked just right, don't be shy, just eat it."
half an hour later...
"Phew, I'm finally alive." Sol patted his bulging stomach and sighed comfortably.
Most of a snow wolf was eaten by him and Conte Baker. The hungry barbarian is still fighting with a wolf leg. His food intake left Rulet and the others stunned.
"Why are you here?" At this moment, Kado asked in a deep voice.
Sol, who was picking his teeth, glanced at him: "I haven't asked you yet, what are you doing up the mountain?"
Laris snorted: "This is our business."
Sol shrugged: "Then don't worry about anyone else, but thank you for your hospitality."
"You... how did you do this?" Ruret pointed to the embarrassed Sol.
Sol spat out the meat in his mouth, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, it's fucking unlucky. I walked well in the morning, but suddenly encountered an avalanche, my luggage was gone, and I almost lost my life. "
"Pfft!" Luret, who was drinking water, spat it out in one gulp.
"What's wrong?" Saul asked strangely.
"Ahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing." Rulet laughed dryly with a guilty conscience: "You should eat more."
Sol waved his hand: "I can't eat any more, you can give it to Conte Baker. But seriously, you have to go up the mountain, right? Take us for a ride, we have no luggage or supplies, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach our destination. "
Before Rulert spoke, Cardo snorted: "I refuse."
"Why?" Sol was surprised: "We all know each other anyway, shouldn't we help each other when we encounter difficulties on the road?"
Laris said coldly: "We have a task ahead of us, and we don't need other people's involvement. Besides, I won't let scammers mix into the team."
"Damn!" Speaking of this Sol, he became angry: "Who is the scammer? I haven't held your adventurer's guild accountable yet. If it weren't for you greedy guys, how could I do that kind of thing?"
Laris said disdainfully: "Do you want to blame us again?"
Sol was furious: "Originally, if it wasn't for the Adventurer's Guild's intentions against my Lovell, how could I have cheated you of your money?"
"Wait, what did you say?" Rulert and Kado looked at each other in surprise: "You said that our guild intends to get involved in Lovell, what's going on?"
"You don't know?" Even Sol was taken aback.
"There must be some misunderstanding in this, please make it clear." Kado said solemnly.
Saul looked at the three of them and felt that they did not seem to be fake, so he finally nodded: "That's good..."
As he said that, he told them all about the adventurers he met when he first arrived in Lovell, and the guild representative Cole came to threaten him.
Finally, he spread his hands: "You say, such a big guild, why can't you get along with my small territory? I'm just protecting myself, so can I be blamed for what happened to Ferry?"
"You, are you serious?" Rulert was stunned for a while and asked uncertainly.
"You really don't know?" Saul straightened up in surprise.
"Know what? Oh, it's delicious..." Meine raised her head and asked in confusion, before continuing to munch.
The three of Rulet looked at each other, and Cardo said: "We really don't know about this matter. We only vaguely know that the guild values Lovell more, but we didn't expect the high-level executives to use such a method."
They don't even know about that?Sol couldn't help but fell into deep thought, saying this was a private action of the upper echelon of the Adventurer's Guild.So what exactly do they want from Lovell?
"Now that the misunderstanding has been clarified, then we don't owe anyone else, just take us for a ride, and I will leave naturally when we get to the place." Saul said with a hippie smile.
Laris still shook his head: "I'm sorry, we are operating in secret and cannot bring other people with us."
"Don't say that, if it weren't for that avalanche, I still don't want to go with you if you beg me. Do me a favor, because everyone is so familiar." Sol continued to plead.
"Avalanche?" At this time, Mene raised his head again: "Is that an avalanche in the morning? It's fun, I just shouted at the valley, and so much snow fell down the mountain..."
In the cave, it was quiet again.
"Oh?" Sol's face was covered with black air: "Little sister, do you think you caused it?"
"Oops..." Rulert was shocked, and just wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"It's me." Meine was innocent and cute, telling the truth.
"Wow!" Sol was furious, stepped on the luggage in front of Ruret, and raised his middle finger fiercely: "I said how could it be such a coincidence, it turned out that you made a mess."
"I'm sorry, it was just an accident..." Rulet looked away guiltily.
"Look at me when you say that!"
Sol looked like a shrew: "Pay our luggage, and there are two fur beasts. Adventurers can mess around? I won't finish with you if I don't make it clear today!"
How can Ruret have anything to compensate him?But one's own side is wronged, and one cannot pretend not to know.Even Kado and Laris lost their temper this time, and could only watch Sol get mad.
"If you don't pay, let us go with you." Saul made a condition.
Rulert said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to. The place we are going this time is very dangerous. If we take you with us, it will cause danger to you instead."
Thor felt disdainful: "Don't make excuses. Dangerous? Can you still pass the dragon's lair?"
"Ah!" Rulet exclaimed, "How do you know..."
"Are you going to the dragon's lair?" Sol was also taken aback. It's not such a coincidence: "I'm going there too."
Everyone looked at each other for the third time, and for a moment they didn't know what to feel.
"You're not a lord in Lowell, why did you come here to find that dragon?" Kado couldn't help asking.
Secretly, you think I want to?Sol sighed, and told them about the previous necromancer attacking Lovell, taking Marlene's soul away, and chasing him here.
Finally he said: "So, I came here by accident."
"The Necromancer Guild has always kept a low profile, how could it openly attack the kingdom's territory?" Rulert asked in surprise.
Sol spread his hands: "You ask me, who should I ask? I still want to know."
Rulet and the others were greatly confused. In connection with the abnormal behavior of the Adventurer's Guild and the Necromancer's Guild, is it possible that a little Lovell really has something that can make these two organizations salivate?
If they knew that even Cliff, the majestic Bahrain lord, was thinking about Lovell, their jaws would drop, right?
Saul patted the stunned Luret: "Don't look petrified, I'm used to it. Who told me to spend eight lifetimes on such an uneasy territory."
He followed up and said: "Don't talk about this, since everyone has the same goal, we should go together. You have equipment, and I have a guide here." He pointed to Kante Baker: "Kan Tebaker is the white bear under the mountain. The barbarians of the tribe know the way to the dragon's lair. It's better for everyone to walk together and help each other than to run around blindly, right?"
Having said that, Rulert was finally moved.After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
"Ha, I didn't expect that we will be together one day." Saul said happily.
It will definitely benefit him a lot to get help from Rulert and the others.He is very aware of the strength of this group of guys. It is a matter of no confidence to go up the mountain to find Bailong. Who knows what kind of temper this dragon is?If there is a disagreement, he and Conte Baker are definitely just a side dish between his teeth.
But it will be different if these guys are with you, at least life will be a little bit guaranteed when the time comes, won't it?
"By the way, I've already told you what I did. How about you, can you tell me?" Saul bumped into Rulet and asked in a low voice.
"I've already said, this is..." Cardo with pointed ears frowned.
"Okay, okay, just don't ask." Sol quickly waved his hand.
Anyway, he has no interest in what the other party wants to do. Everyone has different goals and cooperates better.
"By the way, I want to ask you something." While the others were not paying attention, Rulert suddenly said mysteriously.
"what?"
"Miss Elebena, do you know any news about her?" Rulert's eyes flashed eagerly.
Sol was stunned, this guy was still thinking about the woman who defeated him, but this girl is not something we humans can afford.
Naturally, he couldn't reveal the news about the female dragon to Rulert, so he had to say: "We broke up after we escaped from Ferry that day. Speaking of which, all the money I cheated will be taken away by her. If you want to settle accounts, you should go to her." .”
This matter is not nonsense, so Sol's face of indignation is not fake, anyway, it is not the first time he has done the thing of throwing sewage behind others.
Ruret showed disappointment when he heard the words, sighed and stopped talking.
Everyone was resting in this cave that night. Seeing Laris cast a wind barrier to keep the cold wind out of the cave, Sol was very envious. It would be nice to have a magician.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, this makeshift team officially set off and headed for the top of the mountain.
Under Sol's suggestion, the marching team made adjustments.Conte Baker, who knew the way, was at the front, Roulet was in the middle, and the others were sandwiched between them and at the end.
This is the method Sol came up with based on the climbers he had seen before. Since they will climb steep cliffs and ice walls, their safety without professional climbing equipment has become a big problem.With this arrangement, the ropes are used to string everyone together in times of danger. No matter which person stumbles, it can ensure that others have enough strength to hold him and avoid accidents.
Although everyone was surprised by his weird method, it was not unreasonable to think about it carefully.After witnessing the miracle of Sol's overnight bridge building, no one dared to underestimate his weird ideas.
As a result, the first team in the history of Majna with modern mountaineering industry standards was formed under Saul's initiative.
************************************************** ******************************
"Does this really work? I always feel weird." Luret tightened the rope around his waist, trying to squeeze his feet into a crack in the rock.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's climb up." Sol gasped heavily, trying to look up at the cliff top that seemed out of reach.
Here is a steep cliff that goes straight up and down and is covered with ice. At this moment, a group of six people are hanging in the middle of the rock wall like geckos, carrying out primitive and arduous rock climbing activities.In front of Sol is Rulert, behind him is Laris, and further forward are Megne and Cardo, with Kante Baker climbing on top.
"Laris, how are you, can you still do it?" Rulert lowered his head and asked.
Laris, who fell at the end of the line, nodded: "Go ahead."
With Laris' magic power, he could reach the top of the cliff by using the flying technique, but obviously he couldn't use his magic power unrestrainedly, otherwise he would collapse due to exhaustion of magic power before reaching the top of the mountain.Therefore, the magician with the weakest physical strength in the team can only climb with bare hands like everyone else.
However, his perseverance was quite astonishing. Even Saul was about to cry out several times that he couldn't stand it anymore, but he actually persisted without crying out.
Suddenly, Laris stepped on a piece of ice, slipped on the sole of his foot, and fell down.
Sol, who was crawling in front of him, was immediately implicated, and he felt a strong pull down, and he couldn't hold back and fell down.Knowing that something was wrong with Laris, Sol hurriedly yelled: "Rulette, hold on!"
Hearing the voice below, Rulet knew that an accident had happened.Before Sol could finish his sentence, he slammed his body against the rock wall, stuck his hands and feet in the cracks of the rock, followed by a muffled groan, and forced to hang Sol and Laris.
The people in front hurriedly turned their heads when they heard the abnormal noise, only to see Sol and Laris dangling in mid-air with ropes hanging on them.Menie screamed, "Laris, are you alright?"
"Quickly, pull the rope up." Cardo quickly grabbed the rope to help Luret share the weight.
After a while of panic, with the efforts of everyone, Sol and Laris finally climbed back to the rock wall.Thinking of the adventure just now, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't for this rope, Laris would probably have finished the game.
Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Sol glanced down, just as Laris was also looking at him, both of them smiled with lingering fear.After the adventure just now, the relationship between the two parties has finally become much more harmonious.
After that, the six people were cautious, for fear of another accident.You must know that this method is safe, but if the main force, Kante Baker or Rulert, makes a mistake, it may implicate everyone.At that time, it would be really bad luck for one person to fall off the cliff and get involved.
Half an hour later, Conte Baker was the first to reach the top of the cliff.With him pulling on the top, the people below will be much more relaxed.After a while of procrastination, the team finally arrived at the destination.
"My god, it's incredible that I was able to climb up." As soon as he reached the cliff, Sol lay down on the snow, panting heavily.
The others were not much better, but as an experienced adventurer, Kado still managed to stand up and stare at the surrounding situation.
"Huh?" He quickly realized something was wrong.
On the snowy ground not far from everyone, there was a bunch of messy footprints, extending all the way to the depths of the snow mountain.Cardo greeted, and the others surrounded him.
After squatting down to check for a while, Kaduo said: "It wasn't long before. Judging from the direction of the footprints, they climbed up from the other side, and there were about 30 people."
"Is it the savages down the mountain?" Roulet asked.
Cardo shook his head: "Probably not, these footprints are relatively small, and they should be about the same size as us."
Conte Baker also said: "It's not a tribe at the bottom of the mountain, we won't go up the mountain with so many people."
Who would that be?Everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Gosmed Snow Mountain is usually inaccessible, and it's hard to find a monster on the mountain. How about this? There are so many of them here. Are you holding a party?
"It seems that the other party has the same purpose as ours. They are going to the top of the mountain. Before you find out the situation, everyone be careful." Ruret looked around vigilantly.
After resting for a while and untying the ropes on their bodies, everyone followed these footprints to the mountain.It can be seen that the group of people has quite good quality and discipline. These footprints have always maintained a line of more than two meters wide, stretching forward like a long snake, and no one left the team halfway. Obviously, they have always maintained a marching line.
The more they walked, the more curious they became about this group of mysterious people. Could it be that they also went for the white dragon when they came to the snow mountain in this extraordinary period?
After walking for about an hour, after turning over a snow slope, they finally encountered each other unexpectedly.
The six people had just turned over the snow slope, and immediately saw a group of people sitting and resting down the slope.Almost at the same time, the other party also spotted them, and with the sound of swords being drawn, they immediately put on a vigilant attitude.
This is a group of men wearing leather clothes, all of them are capable, some are carrying ropes, some are carrying digging tools, but without exception, they are all fully armed, and the number of them is about 30.
Next to these people were a few woolly beasts carrying supplies, obviously they also came prepared.
Apparently, this encounter made neither side expect that a group of people down the slope and six people up the slope just stared at each other, without making any further moves for a long time.
"See where they came from... Ah!" Saul just asked Ruret, and then exclaimed.
Under the snow slope, Ferino, who was wearing a thick leather jacket to keep out the cold, was also staring at Sol with a surprised expression.
"Cliff's men, why did he appear here? Could it be that these guys are from Bahrain?" Sol was shocked.
"Why, you know each other?" Ruret asked strangely.
The secret way is more than acquaintance, they are almost familiar.Sol whispered to him: "These guys are very dangerous. If you want to survive, listen to my advice and kill them first!"
Lu Leit was stunned. He didn't even know who the other party was, so he wanted to start a fight. Think we are bandits?He scratched his head and said to everyone: "You wait, I'll go down and ask them."
"Be careful." Kado nodded, stretched his bow and put on an arrow, and Laris also concentrated on preparing a spell.
"Don't go..." Saul was about to stop him, but Rulert had already stepped downhill.
Damn.Cursing secretly, Sol took a step back and whispered to Conte Baker: "Get ready, and run if something goes wrong later."
Intuitively, Conte Baker has already noticed the slightest tension between the two sides.Hearing Sol's words, he nodded silently.
Since seeing Sol, Felino's eyes have never left him. Obviously, he and Sol were equally surprised by each other's appearance.Stared at by his half-smiling gaze, Sol only felt hairy all over his body.
Damn, it's really lingering, no matter where you go, you can get involved with the guy from Bahrain.
*
At this time, Rulet had already walked down the snow slope, and both sides kept a distance vigilantly.Raising his hands to indicate that there was no malice, Rulet said, "I am the adventure team affiliated to the Adventurer's Guild. My name is Rulert. May I ask who you are and what are you doing here?"
No one answered, only a few men looked at Felino, obviously waiting for his instructions.
"Adventurer's Guild? We are from Bahrain, entrusted by Lord Cliff, to search for gold mines." Felino pointed to the digging tools brought by some people.
As he spoke, he raised his voice and smiled at Sol: "If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Mr. Sol from Lowell Territory? Why did he change his career and become an adventurer?"
Saul smiled: "I didn't know that Mr. Ferino changed his career to become a miner."
"To each other, the times have been difficult recently, so we have to start a side business." Felino smiled, and the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
It's a pity that apart from the two of them, the other men, including Kaduo and others, stared at each other solemnly, and the atmosphere did not relax at all.Only Mene looked at these two seemingly happy guys inexplicably, the scene was extremely weird.
"We have a mission and want to pass here, is that okay?" Rulert said slowly.
At this moment, his eyes passed over Ferino, and he was firmly attracted by another person.It was a man sitting on the ground with a huge sword in his hand. He was extremely tall, almost as tall as Kante Baker.What is even more striking is that in the cold snow mountain, other people are wearing thick leather jackets, but he is wearing a cold black full body armor.
From the beginning to the end, the man remained silent, as if he had no reaction to what happened outside.Feeling Rulet's gaze at this moment, he turned his head slowly.
Meeting the eyes in the gap of his helmet, Rulet couldn't help but startled: "Why does it seem like I've seen this person somewhere?"
At this time, Felino laughed and said: "This snow mountain is not ours, of course you can go there."
Before the words were finished, Kado exclaimed on the snowy slope: "Be careful!"
Unexpected change suddenly!
Without any warning, the man in front of Ruret raised his sword and slashed at him. At the same time, he heard a whistling sound, and an arrow shot down from the top of the mountain.
"Ugh!" A man was hit by an arrow in the shoulder and fell to the ground screaming.
At the same time, Rulet pulled out the dragon-slaying sword, choked the swords of those people away, and quickly backed away.
"Gru, kill them, don't let that Sol go!" Felino turned around and shouted.
After chanting the last incantation, Laris stared: "Hail!"
Fist-sized hailstones appeared in response, overwhelming the enemies below.The group of men were about to give chase when they were hit by hailstones so that they couldn't lift their heads.
Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang Dang!There was a chaotic sound, and Gru, who was wearing a full body of heavy armor, stepped in front of Felino, blocking all the hailstones, and countless ice shards flew around like a snowstorm.
After the spell passed, Gru rushed forward a few steps, and slashed at Rulet with the giant sword in his hand like lightning.At this time, Rulet was about to climb up the slope, and when he turned around, the giant sword had reached the top of his head.
Unable to dodge, he had no choice but to raise his sword.Gru's sword was extremely powerful, and with a loud bang, Rulet was forcibly chopped and fell to the ground, half of his body sinking into the snow.
On the snow slope, Kaduo fired a few more arrows, forcing the man who was trying to charge away from behind.These people have very good sword skills. Except for a few people who were injured, Kaduo, the archer, has not killed a single one so far.
"Ah Hua, fat, come on!" Meine called out Bat Leopard and Armored Bear with a wave of his hand, and pointed at Gru.
Amidst the roar, two demonic beasts leaped down from the snow slope, at this time Gelug's second sword had just been raised.Facing the onslaught of two large monsters, he didn't even give in, and just stood there and swung the giant sword!
"Aww!" The bat leopard who was the first among them was swept by a sword, and was sent back to its owner in a ball of white light.
The huge armored bear shrank into a ball, and using the thick bone armor on its back, it hit Gru like a ball.Hearing a loud bang, Gelu actually hugged the armored bear weighing nearly a ton with one hand, and he only took two steps back, which shows how terrifying this guy's strength is.
Throwing the armored bear to the ground, Gru held up his huge sword and thrust it at the bone ball. There was another burst of white light, and the second monster was easily dealt with.
"Ah..." After two monsters were killed in a row, Meine squatted on the ground clutching her head in pain.
Just a moment's delay, Rulet jumped up. Taking advantage of Gru's slack, he slammed into his arms with one step, and the dragon sword in his hand sank into his lower abdomen.
The sharp dragon-slaying sword pierced through the heavy armor and pierced Gelu's abdomen.However, this serious injury, which is enough to make ordinary people lose their mobility, did not affect him in the slightest.
Grabbing Ruret's shoulder with his free left hand, Gru raised the giant sword and was about to thrust it into his back.Rulet was horrified, is this guy a monster?
At the critical juncture, he squatted slightly, and a shock shook him outward from his body.The strong impact made Gru let go of his hand involuntarily, and staggered back a few steps.
"Bait..." This was the first time he spoke so far.
Being directly hit by his own fighting spirit, this guy was fine. Ruret only felt a chill rise from the back of his head to the top of his head.Seeing that the rest of the men had surrounded him from the left and right, he gritted his teeth and thrust the Dragon Slaying Sword into the ground with both hands, his whole body exploded with fighting energy.
In an instant, there was a blast of thunder on the ground, and the snow on the ground centered on him, billowing up like ripples, and pushing it around in a mighty way.Those men were caught off guard and immediately turned on their backs.
It has only been 1 minute since Rulet and Grew came into contact, but it is already dangerous, which shows the intensity of the battle.At this moment, Laris finally completed his second magic.
"Frozen spell!" He pointed at Gru below.
Crackling... With a burst of ice cracking, a large mass of ice emerged from Gru's feet, quickly stretched up along his legs, and spread to his waist in a moment, forcibly freezing Gru in place.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rulert turned around and ran, and climbed to the middle of the snow slope three times, five times and two times. Conte Baker stretched out his hand and lifted him up.
The men below saw that they were too late to catch up, and many people took out their bows and arrows to shoot here. With the sound of swishing, the arrows flew over the heads of the crowd, causing the chaos to become unbearable.
Gru struggled twice, and raised his fist violently to hit the ice ball.With a loud bang, countless spider web-like cracks appeared on the smooth surface of the ice mass, and it was about to shatter in sight.
"My god!" Several people on the hillside turned pale with shock. Laris's magic power is extremely powerful. This freezing technique can't be broken even by an earth rhino. Is this guy human?
"There are too many people on the other side, run away!" The secret road told you not to go, now you know how powerful it is?Sol bowed his head to avoid an arrow, and shouted.
Rulert is not a brave person, and he nodded his head when he heard the words: "Retreat!"
Cardo heard the words and shot several more arrows, turned around and pulled Laris to run: "Don't let them catch up!"
"Leave it to me!" Mene, who recovered from the mental blow, immediately called out the monster water lizard.
As expected of the ace team of the Adventurer's Guild, they cooperated very well. Just as Rulet and the others retreated, the water lizard lay on the ground, lowered its head and opened its mouth to spray on the hillside.
The water lizard is an intermediate-level monster of the water system. With a breath of freezing air, the snow-covered slope immediately froze.The soles of the men who were trying to rush up slipped and rolled down in embarrassment.
"Oh, it's so scary, let's go!" An arrow whizzed past Menel, scaring the girl's neck back.After helping the glasses that were about to fall off, she retracted the water lizard and ran away.
With a snap, Gru crushed the ice block that sealed him.But at this time, the hillside was empty, and Sol and others had already disappeared without a trace.
"Stop chasing." Felino called to stop several men who were about to chase.
"Are you okay?" He walked up to Gru, pointing to the wound on his lower abdomen.
Gru shook his head: "They...I...have seen..."
Felino hummed: "I know, it's in the capital, right? I really didn't expect to meet Sol here. What are those guys doing up the mountain? Could it be because of that dragon..."
After fighting for a while, the place was in a mess, and the snow on the ground was trampled in a mess.Five or six men were wounded by arrows, and they were bandaging their wounds. They were all elite fighters from Bahrain, but they couldn't even do anything to the opponents, and everyone felt very unwilling.
Walking down the frozen hillside, Ferino stepped on the slippery ice surface and murmured: "What a mistake, because magic is useless to dragons. I didn't bring a magician this time. Who would have met someone else? If If Mr. Buffett is around, they will not let them escape."
Gru took off his helmet, revealing his scarred and mottled face: "Then...I..."
"No." Felino waved his hand: "We have more important things to do, and we can't undo the seal yet. If I'm not wrong, their purpose should be the same as ours. It seems that we must rush to the dragon first. hole."
After thinking for a while, he said again: "And they have seen you before. It is best not to take off your armor unless it is absolutely necessary. It will be troublesome if your killing of Morant is leaked."
Gru nodded, and put on his helmet again without saying a word.
"Mr. Cliff needs a large amount of funds. We must get the treasure in the dragon's lair as soon as possible. We can't wait any longer." After pondering for a moment, Felino raised his voice: "Let's go, go immediately!"
The men quickly packed up everything and set off immediately.For a moment, apart from a messy snowfield, there was no one to be seen here.
