Starting from the Dragon Tribe

Looking at Verus leaving on a sleigh, Lu Chen and the others looked at each other, and they had to walk the rest of the way alone.

In fact, they didn't need a guide from the beginning because they didn't have an exact destination.

There may be Nibelung roots in this snowfield, but no one knows where the Nibelung roots are. They just considered the hidden nature of the Nibelung roots and speculated that they are deep in the snowfield that no one can reach.

Bringing Chu Zihang and Fingel is equivalent to bringing two keys. Whether they can find the door depends on luck.

Their food reserves are enough to survive for half a month, but the actual exploration time is only one week, and the return journey will also take time.

There are two big taboos on this frozen soil, one is running out of supplies, and the other is getting lost.

Fortunately, they have obedient dogs. These elves in the snow are the best guides. Their natural bioradar can always help them find the right direction.

"Verus didn't lie to us, Brother Lu, look."

Chu Zihang pointed in a direction, Lu Chen and Fingel turned around and saw the wonders of nature.

It was a storm they had never seen before. The strong wind swept across the earth, lifting the year-round snow from the surface, roaring across the ice. From a distance, it looked like a crazy ice and snow dragon rolling on the ground, even some Towering glaciers also broke under the force of strong winds.

The Alaskans were spinning around in circles uneasily. They were a little uneasy when their master left, and now they were even more trembling under the power of nature.

"Junior brother, this won't involve us, right?"

Fingel shuddered and said that this scene is no different from seeing an overwhelming sandstorm in the desert, and the snowstorm in the Arctic is even more terrifying, because it not only contains all kinds of sharp ice spikes, but also the sharp cold The wind, after picking up people, will freeze them into ice sculptures within a few minutes.

"No, according to the air flow and landform, this storm is moving westward. It is expected to blow over in half an hour. We can just move on then."

Chu Zihang analyzed.

"Junior Brother Lu, I'm just saying, just take Junior Brother Chu with you. This is simply a human encyclopedia, and I can only waste my food rations. I don't know if we can find that damn Nibelungen."

Fingel gave Chu Zihang a thumbs up.

"You're all here. I don't think you're the type to run away, senior brother. So don't say anything like that. Take a rest first and wait for the snowstorm to pass before rushing on."

Lu Chen looked at the time on his watch, and organized a few people to eat some canned food on the spot to replenish their strength, while also feeding the Alaskans.

"Woof woof——"

At this time, suddenly the Alaskans shouted in one direction, first one, then all the Alaskans started shouting, and a low growl of threats came from their throats.

Lu Chen and others looked in that direction warily. They thought it would be some kind of dangerous dragon target, but after seeing it, they no longer cared. It was a polar bear.

Chu Zihang looked indifferent, while Fingel took a step back and stood behind Lu Chen.

The polar bear glanced here, turned its fat but strong body, and walked silently into the ice and snow. This kind of creature is very intelligent. Unless it is extremely hungry, it will not actively attack larger creatures, and Finger I stood up and looked quite tall.

The interlude was over, and after the storm passed, the group continued on their way.

…………

Three days later, at one in the morning, a few people gathered in a tent to heat cans over a portable campfire.

The Alaskans were tied up in the igloo that Lu Chen thoughtfully built.

"I said, Junior Brother, how about we return? There is nothing in this miserable place. I think even if there is a Nibelung, the Dragon King doesn't invite guests, and we can't find it. Besides, the dogs are holding your knife. I’m almost exhausted.”

Fingel rubbed his hands, unscrewed a heated can, picked up a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Fingel and Chu Zihang's faces were a little red at this time. Although they had done a good job in protecting themselves, they were A-level hybrids. They couldn't stand being washed by wind and snow all day in a place like this. .

"Senior Brother Fingel is right this time. We may still be able to bear it, but the sled dogs are a little bit overwhelmed."

Chu Zihang said, these Alaskans are known as snow elves, but they cannot always survive in such a harsh environment. Compared with polar bears that can survive in the wild, the fat of these big dogs is obviously much thinner.

Yesterday, the temperature dropped to minus 40, and a sled dog died of illness due to fatigue and cold.

"Oh, I really found that the Dragon Clan is sometimes very unhappy when doing things. It was the same last time we were in the Golden Lunga Corridor. I thought that if there were really Nibelungs here, we should be equivalent to wandering outside. This The owner is not hospitable at all.”

Lu Chen sighed and complained. He also had a headache with this kind of task. Even if he wanted to go against the Dragon King, no one would open the door. What can you do?

"Ah~ Eat and drink enough. Go to bed first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Fingel yawned, feeling a little sleepy after running around for a day. After that, he walked out of the small tent and returned to his own tent.

Because of portability and the strong winds that exist all year round in the Arctic, the tents they brought were small, wind pressure resistant, and warm. Each tent could sleep two people at most. Fingel was big and his sleeping posture was also different. , Lu Chen was naturally assigned to a tent with Chu Zihang.

At night, the two of them lay in their sleeping bags across the portable campfire, but neither of them could fall asleep for a while.

Lu Chen turned his head and saw Chu Zihang lying on his side with his back on his back. The fabric of the tent shone a little golden, and he knew that Chu Zihang was not asleep either.

"Brother Chu, if we can find the Nibelungen, you must retreat with Brother Fingel. I can go in alone."

Chu Zihang turned around and said, "If possible, I hope to go in with Brother Lu."

Lu Chen looked at Chu Zihang's eyes and suddenly felt something familiar. One night before departure, he woke up in the middle of the night and saw that Fingel was not in bed. He turned sideways and saw Fingel standing on the balcony smoking a cigarette. In the reflection is a pair of golden eyes, and the eyes are firm.

At that time, he understood that Senior Brother Fingel was indeed not a useless dog. He shouted that he did not want to participate in dangerous missions. Maybe it was true at ordinary times, but as far as this mission was concerned, this Senior Brother lied. He wanted to come. of.

Not for anything else, just because when Senior Brother Fingel's team was buried under the sea of ​​ice, he and Mentor Schneider were the only ones who survived. He wanted to find out the truth.

Even if Senior Brother Fingel appears to be out of touch and lazy, shouting that he must not be allowed to meet the Dragon King in the Nibelungs, in fact, he has probably found the Nibelungs, and this senior brother will not leave. .

That's why he wanted to ask Brother Chu Zihang to help Brother Raffengel to prevent him from dying due to being possessed.

But Brother Chu's eyes at this moment were the same as those of Brother Fingel that night.

"Can I ask why? You know, this time the Nibelung roots may not be the second generation, but the Dragon King."

Lu Chen roughly stated what he meant. In order to take care of Brother Chu's self-esteem, he didn't say it clearly, but what he actually meant was that he might not be able to take care of him this time.

Chu Zihang was silent for a few seconds, "Brother Lu, you should know the reason why the principal asked us to accompany you. We all have marks on us."

Lu Chen also answered, looking at Chu Zihang, waiting for the other party to explain.

Chu Zihang looked at this young man who had shared life and death with him, this one of his few true friends.

He didn't want to talk about that incident in the past, not only because he hated his cowardice at that time, but also because he knew how terrifying the god in the rainy night was. He always felt that no one involved in this incident would end well, so He didn't tell Brother Lu that night in the cafeteria.

But after experiencing the war in Japan, he finally realized how powerful Brother Lu was, even stronger than his father in his impression.

As a friend...it's okay to talk about what's on your mind, right?

"I once...perhaps met the Dragon King."

After a long time, Chu Zihang spoke slowly, revealing past events that he had not mentioned for many years.

"Where is he? Is he really the Dragon King?"

Lu Chen cheered up. The news about the Dragon King was very important to him.

"On an elevated road in my hometown coastal city, I am not sure whether the other party is the Dragon King or which Dragon King it is, because the other party is humanoid, wearing a shroud, holding a spear with no visible material, and under his crotch Riding an eight-legged horse, he looks very much like the mythical Sleipnir. Brother Lu, you have also learned about Nordic mythology. I speculate that he may be...Odin."

"Odin? The title of Dragon King that appears in the records of the Secret Party does not include him. Besides, isn't he the leader of the gods in Ragnarok? He is not from the same faction as the Black King."

Lu Chen felt a little confused. If he was one of the four great monarchs, logically speaking, it seemed that he shouldn't use this name.

But Brother Chu wouldn't lie. The other party really had an eight-legged horse, Sleipnir, which was completely consistent with the mythical Odin.

"I don't know. After I came to the academy, I also checked various information in the Lion Heart Society. There is indeed no record of Odin. He seems to have appeared for the first time in this solar era. There is no existence of him in the past history. , so I didn’t report it to the college.”

"It's right not to report it. If it involves Dragon King-level matters, you can easily be in the eye of the storm. Besides, it's a Dragon King that the Secret Party doesn't know about."

Lu Chen said, and then asked: "Brother Chu, how did you escape at that time?"

It wasn't that he looked down on Brother Chu, but he felt that even if the Nibelungs were a next-generation species, there would be no chance that Brother Chu would escape alive.

When asked this question, Chu Zihang's golden eyes became even more dazzling, and even the brilliance of the bonfire seemed to be covered up, it was the flame of revenge.

"...It was my father. He broke off my marriage for me, and I...escaped."

When he said the last few words, Chu Zihang was gritting his teeth, but no matter how hard he gritted his teeth, his regret still leaked out.

Lu Chen was also a little silent after hearing this. He didn't ask any stupid questions like "Who is the father deer you mentioned before?" This was obviously his stepfather.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "You have a great father. When he divorces you, he must be the most handsome man in the world."

"Dad, he is actually quite unreliable at ordinary times, but Brother Lu, you are right. He was very cool that day. I have never seen such a cool man. I can't believe that he is my father, but I would rather He is as unreliable as before, so he can still drive his boss's car and take me to eat cheap spicy chicken wings and braised large intestines, and I can listen to his long-winded talk until I get impatient..."

Chu Zihang seemed to have started talking. Lu Chen had never seen him talk so much before.

If a person has too much pressure in his heart, he will be like an overburdened dam. Once a breach is opened, the flood will surge out.

Lu Chen did not interrupt Chu Zihang, but acted as a qualified listener, lamenting that it was not easy for everyone, and everyone would have a past that was unbearable to look back on.

At the end, Lu Chen spoke, "So, Brother Chu, you came to Kassel Academy to pursue becoming stronger because you want to face that god again one day?"

Chu Zihang didn't speak, but his eyes already responded.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "I understand. Although this is your housework, Brother Chu, I also want to shamelessly get involved. If there is any news about him, please be sure to take me with you."

Seeing Chu Zihang's hesitation, Lu Chen added: "You know me, I just want to fight with a stronger guy, not to mention that guy may be a Dragon King. If you kill him, you might be able to get some equipment."

For a long time, Chu Zihang's paralyzed face showed a rare awkward smile, "Brother Lu, you have been playing too many games recently."

Lu Chen was noncommittal, "World of Warcraft is really fun. You can also try it. Eryi and I are super strong and can pass any game."

"Wait until you get back. I'll have some fun next time."

Chu Zihang had actually bought a game console some time ago because he had misunderstood that Brother Lu's becoming stronger was related to games, but after buying it, he kept it in the dormitory to gather dust because there were too many things from the Lion Heart Club.

Suddenly, there was a sound of barking and whimpering outside. Lu Chen and Chu Zihang looked at each other and sat up.

Due to the cold Arctic nights, they all slept in their clothes, just wearing a sleeping bag.

The two quickly got out of their sleeping bags, knowing that something might have happened.

Lu Chen also realized that he was careless. This was the North Pole, and the cold wind was howling outside, covering up all the small sounds. When the enemy came over, it was "silent"

The two opened the tent and saw black creatures rolling in several snow houses in the distance, with blood everywhere.

With the slightly dim sunlight, Lu Chen could clearly see the surrounding situation.

Snakes, the whole ice sheet is full of snakes!

The smaller one is several meters long, the larger one is over twenty meters long, and its waist is much longer than an adult man can hold in his arms.

You must know that the largest Amazon anaconda in the world is only fourteen meters long, and the largest of these black snakes is nearly thirty meters long. The scales on its body are cold and clear under the sunlight. It is definitely not what a python should be. scales, but dragon scales!

And in extremely cold places like the Arctic, cold-blooded animals like snakes should not appear at all, which means that these giant pythons in front of us... are all dragon subspecies!

It’s the last day of the event, please vote for me (*σ`)σ
