The tip of the high canyon is hidden deep in the snowstorm, thick snow is piled on the dark and steep rock walls, the color of the sky is dark and gray, and the visibility is extremely low.
The passage below the canyon is slender and rugged, and is also covered by heavy snow.
The wind screamed, and several people trudged hard in the snow, and their footprints were swallowed in just a few seconds and disappeared into the snowy night.
They did not use any light sources.
After all, in the frozen valley in the middle of the night, it is not only the low temperature that is dangerous.
Shi An was shrouded in a thick snow suit, her whole body wrapped in airtight.
The furry rabbit earmuffs were worn on his head, his entire face was flushed with freezing, and the long eyelashes were covered with white snow frost. With the blinking, a half-melted ice drop fell.
It's cold... It's too cold, right...
Shi An's head felt a little sluggish from the freezing. Although the steps under his feet were still moving, they were more like subconscious mechanical movements, making regular creaking noises.
Although at his strong request, everyone had dinner in the hotel.
But the heat was so insignificant that it was dissipated by the severe cold not long after entering the canyon.
—That fairy treasure should really have a lot!
Shi An thought fiercely.
At this moment, a shadow suddenly swept across the high altitude above, and the breath of a monster came.
"Ready to fight."
Wang Li cautiously lowered his upper body and said to the other players.
A group of bird-like monsters flew low over their heads, the sound of flapping wings echoed in the open valley, and the pair of scarlet eyes looked strange in the darkness.
Everyone became vigilant and pulled out their weapons one after another.
Shi An was in a trance from the cold, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look in the direction of the sound.
"Papa Papa—" The sound of flapping wings suddenly became confused.
A commotion was surging among the monsters, several crows screamed, and then they turned around in a panic, and flew towards the distance as if they fled.
It looked like he was being chased by a ghost.
Several people below are ready to go: "..."
?
what happened
Haven't faced the battle yet, how did you run away
Watching the direction in which the monster disappeared, Wang Li was silent for a while, guessing: "Maybe... They saw food elsewhere?"
The other three: "..."
In this windy and snowy day, besides a few of them, where can there be other better food
But apart from this, they didn't seem to think of any other explanations, so they had to give up.
"Let's go." Wang Li retracted his weapon.
At this moment, he felt that his cuff was suddenly pulled.
Wang Li was taken aback and turned back.
I saw Shi An standing behind him, tugging at the corners of his sleeves with his hands with thick fur gloves, his nose was flushed red from freezing, his skin became whiter and his eyes were dark.
He sniffed, and asked pitifully, "Well, can we light a torch?"
Looking at the hopeful young man in front of him, Wang Li couldn't help but feel soft.
But he still sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's too dangerous to set a fire in the canyon at night. It's like a living target. We are not only prepared for attacks by monsters."
Shi An lowered his eyes in disappointment.
Wang Li couldn't bear it, and comforted:
"Don't worry, the journey is not far. At our speed, it should be at most six hours."
Shi An looked up hopefully: "How long will it take?"
Wang Li: "... Five and a half hours."
"..." Shi'an instantly went black.
What? Have we only walked for half an hour? !
Hidden in Shi'an's sleeve, the demon worm was also shivering with cold. It encouraged Shi'an with consciousness: "My lord, come on! You can!"
Shi An replied angrily: "What you said is easy, I also want to get smaller and be carried in my sleeve!"
Aware of Shi'an's resentment, the Demon Worm did not dare to speak.
He sighed, and shrank himself again-who would have thought that Shi An's body temperature was so low? It's still cold even if it's hidden in the sleeve!
For the first time, the demon actually envied the black smoke being left at home.
Shi An kept up with Wang Li's footsteps and asked:
"Then, if I encounter monsters, should I set fire on them? It should be okay, right?"
… How is this description weird
Wang Li thought for a while and said, "Then there is no way. After all, our lives are more important than whereabouts. If that time comes, we will naturally use all means to ensure our survival."
Regrettably, Shi An raised his eyes and looked in the direction where the group of bird monsters had disappeared.
... so angry! !
Living firewood! Just ran away!
During the next journey, Shi An kept her aura from moment to moment, hoping to encounter a few monsters that didn't have long eyes.
However, I don't know why, for the next two full hours, half of the monster's shadow was not seen.
Shi An followed listlessly at the end of the team, his eyelids had already begun to fight.
Affected by the habit of remaining cold-blooded animals, it is easy to get sleepy when it is cold.
Little by little, his head slowed down subconsciously.
Ah... I really want to hibernate.
Now the only driving force that supported him to move forward was the legendary fairy treasure.
Suddenly, the snowdrift in front of him moved suddenly, with a small amplitude. It was almost suspicious that his vision was affected by the wind and snow, and there was hallucination.
"Wait! Stop!"
Wang Li immediately stopped the progress of the team.
Everyone energized one hundred and twenty thousand points and looked at the front vigilantly.
The amplitude of the snowdrift's tremor became more obvious, and it was completely impossible to explain with dazzling.
—I saw the thick snow rising higher and higher, gradually revealing a huge figure.
There were traces of blue-purple muscle hung on Senbai's bones, and dark flames burned deep in the eye sockets of the black holes, and thick snow clumped on its body, and fell sternly with the movements.
Wang Li's heart tightened instantly.
Oops, it's an undead monster!
Due to the existence of the abyss cracks, the dark atmosphere of this land cannot be dissipated for several years. Therefore, in addition to the monsters that adapt to the severe cold climate, it will also attract many dead monsters.
These monsters wander at night, and once they see light or smell the vitality of human beings, they will be attracted.
They have no intelligence, no pain, and will not stop hunting as long as they look for the prey.
Except for the spells of the light system, there is no way to kill them, at most they can only slow down their actions, which is very difficult.
This is why Wang Li was reluctant to act at night at first.
But he didn't expect that after deliberately restraining his breath and putting an end to all light, he would actually attract this skeleton horse!
"Hold it!" Wang Li looked at Wu Huancheng and gave an urgent order in a short and concise manner.
He turned his head and shouted to the others: "Let's change our way!"
In the snowy night, Wu Huancheng's light spells lighted up, like the only lighthouse in the boundless chaos.
The skeleton horse turned his head, a pair of black hole eyes stared at the sacred light aura not far away, the bones on his body collided, making a scalp tingling clicking sound.
The kind of cold that seemed to penetrate into the depths of the soul pounced on his face.
Wu Huancheng's pressure doubled.
He frowned tightly, the light emitted by the light magic spells was more radiant.
The skeleton horse in front of him looked even taller and terrible in the dark night.
It seemed to try to get closer, but it was afraid of the magic power of the light element, trampling greedily and restlessly, stomping on the ground with four hoofs.
The atmosphere is tense and it's on the verge of breaking out.
"You go first!" Wu Huancheng cried.
Amidst the chaos, Shi An raised his eyes dullly.
The skeletons in the distance are white, and they are particularly conspicuous in the muddy dark night—
firewood! It's firewood!
Shi An's eyes lit up.
Against the direction, he walked forward with difficulty step by step.
Wang Li, who was retreating to the distance, suddenly realized that something was wrong. He turned his head and happened to see Shi An walking in the direction of the Skeleton Horse.
In the wind and snow, he shouted: "Shi'an! Come back soon—"
Wu Huancheng turned his head when he heard the words, and immediately saw Shi'an appearing not far behind him.
I saw a small cluster of orange flames rising from the center of the other's furry gloves, which looked tiny and weak.
"This kind of monster is not afraid of fire!" Wu Huancheng yelled anxiously.
Undead monsters only fear the light element, and other magical powers have no effect on them.
Shi An blinked, revealing a puzzled look:
"Huh? Can't it?"
The skeleton horse in front of you suddenly raised its front hoofs and let out a neigh!
In the next second, the blizzard was as violent as a living creature, and the whistling sound was so sharp that it could pierce the eardrums. Several people had to crawl on the ground to avoid being involved in the terrifying hurricane.
The strong wind lifted up the boundless blizzard, blocking the view like a hood.
I can't see anything.
Everyone's heart sank.
It is definitely not an ordinary undead monster that will use other forces to defeat the opponent.
Wu Huancheng struggled to maintain the light of the spell, and the fragile wall was supported around his body, becoming the only narrow eye that was not affected by the storm.
He turned his head to look for Shi'an's figure, but couldn't find him everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, a harsh roar suddenly sounded in front of him!
Wu Huancheng was taken aback.
At very close distance, the flare of fire suddenly penetrated the dark night, and then suddenly exploded!
Accompanied by the howling of the violent wind, it hovered and danced in the air like a fire snake.
The extreme scorching temperature instantly approached.
The wind that was as cold as a knife just now was instantly covered with a layer of heat that could almost scorch a person, engulfed in the water vapor from the melted snow, and rushed towards his face.
Wu Huancheng was dumbfounded.
The staff in his hand was slowly put down, and the faint light was swallowed by the fire in an instant.
The gust of wind slowly stopped.
There was a pitch-black scorched earth in front of him.
The snow as deep as the knees has been melted by the high temperature, and the charred rocks are exposed, which is particularly abrupt in the canyon.
"What's wrong? What happened? Is there any injury?"
Several other people hurried forward and asked anxiously.
They were blocked outside the wind wall just now, and they didn't see what was happening not far away. They only saw a flash of orange fire in the blizzard, and then the hurricane disappeared, so they immediately stepped forward to support.
but…
Now it seems that they don’t need their support anymore.
Wang Li looked around the scene in front of him, a look of wonder flashed under his eyes.
He didn't expect that in this extreme environment, Shi'an's fire magic power could still exert such a terrifying effect.
It is simply against the sky.
"Where is the skeleton horse?" Zhao She asked.
Wu Huancheng was relieved now.
He looked around, but found that the skeleton horse that had given them a strong sense of oppression had disappeared.
He hesitated and shook his head: "I don't know."
Under the interference of strong wind and fire, Wu Huancheng was not sure what he saw.
However, in one of the moments, he vaguely caught a glimpse of the figure of the skeleton horse. It seemed to roar and scream, and it seemed to be struggling violently, as if it was dominated by some extreme fear, and then its figure disappeared in the blizzard. .
It's like... running away.
But how is it possible
How could a monster of a necromancer feel pain and fear
He must be wrong, or hallucinations.
"Wait, what about Shi'an? He is not with you?" Chen Meng frowned.
Wu Huancheng was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look at the place where Shi An was just now.
However, the teenager who should have been standing behind him did not know when he disappeared: "I, I don't know."
Wang Li made a decisive decision: "Find someone first."
The surrounding area was covered with white snow, and it was dim, and half a person could not be seen.
"Shi'an!"
"Shi'an!!"
Several people in the team scattered around the scorched earth, calling Shi'an's name anxiously.
"What? Kid? Can't find anyone?" Suddenly, a rough voice sounded from above their heads.
Everyone was shocked, and they subconsciously pulled out their weapons and looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a shaggy middle-aged man squatting on the rock wall, with several scars across his face, wearing a full set of cold-proof equipment, and looking down at them, not knowing how long he looked at them.
He snorted and jumped down.
The burly body did not seem to weigh much, and fell lightly on the snow.
Wang Li caught a glimpse of the ornamentation on his chest and was shocked.
It is a mercenary.
This should be the team mentioned in the previous hotel.
Unexpectedly, the other party left a whole day earlier than them, and was caught up within a few hours.
This road is the only way to enter the mountain. When thinking of the skeleton horse on the road, Wang Li had a vague guess in his heart.
It is estimated that they were also stopped by this difficult necromantic monster, unable to move forward, so they were temporarily blocked here.
"At this time, kids, what are you doing in this ghost place?" The man squinted his eyes with gleaming light, and looked at the young people in front of him inquisitively. His gaze fell on Chen Meng's handsome face, and he paused for two more seconds.
There was a very uncomfortable sensation in the opponent's eyes, and Chen Meng frowned and kicked it back fiercely.
Wang Li calmed down.
He smiled at the man in front of him: "We are just traveling at the end of the year. I heard that this is a good place for practice, so we came in a group."
"Yes… "
The man looked at them and couldn't see if he believed Wang Li's words.
The man laughed and looked away lightly: "It's very dangerous to drive the night away at night."
"Otherwise, come to our camp to rest for one night, and then go on the road tomorrow morning, how about it?"
Wang Li squinted his eyes and replied without leaking: "It's still not possible. Our companion has not been found. We are very worried about his safety. I am afraid that we will not be able to rest well in your camp."
"Hey," the man shook his head, still with that uncomfortable smile on his face: "Then I have to insist."
As if unable to feel the hostility from the other side, the man continued:
"Life is a matter of life, right? So for the safety of your partner, I think you'd better let us help, so that you don't have the best of both worlds, right?"
As soon as his voice fell, several figures appeared behind the other rocks around him, and the same mercenary marks appeared on his clothes.
—The threat is self-evident.
Chen Meng quietly clenched his weapon, gritted his teeth, and stared coldly at the mercenary in front of him.
Wang Li turned his head and shook his head at her without a trace.
He looked at the middle-aged man who was still smiling in front of him, with a polite smile on his face: "Since you persist in this way, then I'm better off with respect."
"I also trouble you to leave some manpower to help search for our partners."
Since they didn't tear each other's skin, the mercenaries on the opposite side didn't mind indulging the opposing side's careful thoughts.
He greeted a few people and asked them to stay and search for the boy named Shi'an nearby. The rest followed him and led Wang Li to the mercenary camp.
Soon, the figure in the middle of the canyon disappeared, leaving only a piece of remnant snow.
The blizzard was still falling, and the scorched rock formation was soon covered with a thin layer of snow again, mixed with the melted water, and turned into gray-black mud.
Three minutes later.
From a distance came the crunching noise of snow being trampled on.
The footsteps approached, and the figure of a teenager appeared.
He is slender and can be swallowed by the Blizzard in front of him almost instantly. A beautiful, non-aggressive face is hidden in the thick fluff, and his ears are also wearing pink bunny earmuffs.
However, the young man held a huge, still moving leg bone in his hand.
That leg bone is really too big, almost half a person tall, forming a ridiculous and sharp contrast with the holder.
A cluster of bright yellow flames was burning above the leg bones, continuously radiating heat outward.
"..."
Shi An looked around blankly, looked at the mess in front of him, and asked in bewilderment:
"What about people?"
The author has something to say:
Longlong just went to gather firewood, and Longlong didn't have any bad thoughts.
