Flying out of the snow field around Shenshan Mountain at the fastest speed, when everyone came to the edge of the "Forgotten Ice Field", the old magician took out his wand again.
There is a clear dividing line between the ice field and the snow around the sacred mountain, one side is soft snow, and the other side is hard and cold ice field. Standing on the periphery of the ice field and looking in, it seems that everything is calm, but Du Wei and others have already had experience, and they know in their hearts that as long as they dare to take a step inside, it will immediately trigger this huge earth left by the ancients. Magic circle!
When the old mage was the first to walk into the ice field, when his feet took the first step into the ice field, immediately, in the originally calm sky, the wind was surging, and countless violent air currents began to rotate. On the delicate wand of the old mage, the silver gemstone released a soft light again, trying hard to resist the gradually stronger storm around it.
"Quick! Don't waste time!" The old magician grabbed Du Wei, and now Du Wei was the most important person in his heart. He held Du Wei firmly by his side, then held up his magic wand like a torch, and led the crowd forward...
On the ice field, the howling wind seems to have gradually revealed a bit of the agitating sound of gold and iron horses! The blade-sharp gust of wind ravaged the small windproof magic circle to its heart's content, and Du Wei stood beside the old magician. Can clearly hear the creaking and squeezing sound from the surrounding defensive mask! He could even clearly see a wind blade sweeping past, slashing on the mask, and sending out slightly colliding air currents.
The tip of the old magician's nose began to sweat. His magic power had already been consumed too much on the way here, and the short time on the Dragon God Mountain was not enough to recover...
The strong wind covered the sky and closed the sun, and the strong muddy turbulence gathered in the mid-air, even blocking the color of the sky!
The first day of escape was spent with the support of the old magician.
The next day. Du Wei could clearly feel that the old magician's magic power was consumed too much. The sweat on his forehead just flowed out, and it instantly froze into small ice beads in this cold weather. After a while, the old magician's face It was as if he was wearing a mask of ice. If it wasn't for the slight white steam coming out of his nostrils, he would almost look like an iceman.
In order to save the physical exertion of the old magician. Hussein had already lifted the magician up, and the knight stepped on the hard ice layer step by step. His golden grudge was also ignited, bringing everyone a little warmth.
"No..." The magic light in the old magician's hand became weaker, and he whispered, "I can't hold on any longer. Du Wei, come and replace me for a while, I need to meditate to replenish my magic power."
As Du Wei took over the wand, the old magician drank the last bottle of magic potion he carried with him. His complexion improved slightly, but his eyes were still full of exhaustion. Du Wei also took a break for a while, and Gargamel was the host of the magic circle.
"This storm is a bit weird." The old magician regained his spirit a little, and immediately frowned and said, "Even though the storm in this ice field is powerful, it has never been so fierce! Don't you think this storm is more violent than when we came here?" ?”
Du Wei nodded, and said in a low voice, "What do you mean. Could it be that the Dragon Clan can control this storm?"
"No." The old magician shook his head. He looked weak. Du Wei couldn't care less now, he hurried up to support the old guy, and carried him forward. The weak voice of the old magician was right next to Du Wei's ear: "It is said that the gods set up this magic circle, on the one hand to prevent humans from continuing to go north, and on the other hand to prevent those exiled races in the north from going south... except In addition to these, there is another very important reason, which is... to restrict the dragon clan."
"Restrict the dragon clan?" Du Wei's heart moved.
"That's right. Although the dragons are guards in name, they have been guarding a dragon mountain for so many years, and anyone would be bored. They are guards in name. In fact, they are imprisoned on the mountain in disguise. If it is not completed, the dragon clan cannot leave the sacred mountain. Although the dragon clan has generally obeyed the mission to stay on the sacred mountain for thousands of years, occasionally some individual dragon clans will travel to the human world, such as the old patriarch. But if Just one or two dragons will not have much impact on the human world. But what if the entire dragon clan migrates to the human world? It will probably change the balance of the world. Therefore, the gods are worried that the dragon clan will get tired of that After the mission, they will give up the mission and leave the mountain, so this ice field storm magic circle is also a good thing to prevent the dragons from migrating south."
Du Wei looked around carefully, the countless storms sweeping back and forth, the countless tornadoes hanging upside down from the sky, intertwined together, desperately squeezing the defensive magic circle of his side...
"The dragon race is generally a flying race. The storms on this ice sheet form an insurmountable no-flying area. Any race that comes here can only walk on the ground! Otherwise, it will fly in mid-air , but also to resist the terrible storm, even if it is a powerful dragon clan, I think except for a few strong people in the clan, no one can walk through the ice field. Therefore, this ice field also forces the dragon clan to stay on the mountain Continue to play the role of guard. Since this is the case, then I don’t think the storm has become so terrifying now, it is the dry land of the dragon clan. I think this storm may have some other mystery.”
Du Wei listened carefully to the old magician's analysis.
The old magician took a breath and continued: "The first time I came to this ice field, I was the only one. It was two hundred years ago. Semel didn't continue to walk through the ice field with me. She died in the frozen forest. Separated from me. Going back alone. Two hundred years ago, my magic power was not as strong as it is now, but I was able to walk across the ice field. Although it was very tired and difficult, I walked through it after all. But now? You Think about it, when we came this time, my magic power was much stronger than it was two hundred years ago. But in the end... I almost drank all the potions for replenishing magic power in reserve, but I couldn't hold on, if it wasn't for you and Gargamel Existence, we can't go to Longshan at all! What makes the storm here stronger than two hundred years ago? According to normal magic theory, the longer a magic circle exists, as the magic power passes, the strength of magic should weaken. Yes. Not enhanced.
After a pause, the old magician continued: "It was already so difficult when we came here... But now on the way back, I found that the storm here is even more terrifying! To be honest, I didn't expect it to be less than a day. I can’t hold on anymore! Do you remember? When I came here, I lasted for two and a half days alone! What is it that makes the storm here stronger every time?”
Du Wei glanced at the cumulus clouds that were getting lower and lower in the mid-air around him, and his face changed slightly: "No matter what, we should be able to go out, right? Even if you, me and Gargamel are all exhausted, don't forget that we There is also a powerful Medusa in the team! When she came, she didn't make a move along the way."
"You don't have to count on Medusa." The old magician sighed, he looked at Du Wei regretfully, and said with emotion: "It's a pity! You are really smart, and you understand magic very quickly. You are less than fourteen years old, right? At such a young age, without the guidance of any magician, you can reach the strength of level three or above, which is already a rare genius. But it is a pity. I see that although you have read a lot of magic knowledge Books, but the things you learn are completely unsystematic, and you can read them from miscellaneous books. You must know that the knowledge in the field of magic is rigorous and profound, and there are many difficult things in it, so how can it be those you can see? Can it be recorded in the books that have been circulated outside? You haven’t even received the basic education of the most basic magic system, so it’s no wonder you don’t understand it. At least we can’t use Medusa’s magic power now. Because she is a monster Do you understand? Although she is in human form, she is also a humanoid monster, according to the natural barriers in the magic field. The magic of monsters and humans cannot be the same, because the magic of humans comes from our own unique magic system. And monsters, then It is because of the magic core in their bodies that they use magic and practice differently from humans. Therefore, although Medusa is powerful, she cannot help us host this magic circle."
Speaking of this, the old magician smiled wryly: "Aren't you surprised? We were already in great difficulty on the way here, but I didn't even ask Medusa for help. Among us, Medusa's magic power is far Far better than you and Gargamel."
Speaking of this, a trace of misery flashed in the eyes of the old magician, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Hussein! Stop! I have something to say."
The knight was holding Gargamel forward, and immediately stopped when he heard this, Hussein seemed to feel something was wrong, he turned around and looked at Du Wei and the old magician: "What's wrong?"
"You don't need to go." The old magician's expression turned extremely ugly: "I have calculated, this day, the distance we travel is almost twice as slow as the speed we came here! But our magic power is no longer enough. Supported... such a situation, you must have felt it, right?"
Hussein didn't speak, but a gloomy look appeared on his face.
"I have carefully calculated many times just now. According to this way of walking, we will run out of magic power by noon tomorrow at most, and we can no longer support it. But at noon tomorrow, we will only reach less than four One-tenth of the distance. Consuming it like this can only lead to a dead end! Tomorrow at noon, this terrifying storm will tear us into pieces without the defense of the magic circle!"
After telling this astonishing news, no one in the queue was surprised. Whether Du Wei or Medusa seemed to have expected this kind of situation on the road, even Gargamel, who was presiding over the magic formation, kept his mouth shut. Although this mouse is timid and wretched, it was once an experienced magician after all, and its consumption of magic power is estimated to be similar to that of the old magician.
The only one who made a sound was the new member of this temporary adventure team, the elegant QQ Mr. Penguin.
"What's the matter? Why didn't you move forward?" QQ***** seemed to be enjoying this place full of storms and ice. It originally slept on Du Wei's back with its eyes closed, but now it jumped down with a plop, stamped its feet on it, then twisted its fat body, walked around twice with its head held high, and raised its head and said, "Why?" Not leaving?"
"Because we're afraid we won't be able to get out." Du Wei sighed. There was a trace of helplessness and unwillingness in the voice of these words. Among the queue, only Medusa remained calm, as if nothing in the world had anything to do with her.
"We have to think of a way." A miserable smile appeared on the corner of the old magician's mouth, and then he looked at Du Wei solemnly: "Du Wei, you have to understand that you are the most important one among us! You are burdened with Aragorn's mission, so no matter what, I cannot let you die here... So, I came up with a way that might give you a chance to escape."
Du Wei didn't speak, he bit his lip and looked at the old magician.
"Hussein is a paladin, and the golden fighting spirit of the paladin is no small matter, and the body of the paladin is as strong as that of the dragon. Even without the protection of the magic field, with the strength of the paladin of Hussein, I guess he can rely on himself Let’s walk in this storm for a whole day.” Then, the old magician turned to look at Hussein: “My fellow knights, after noon tomorrow, we will lose the protection of the magic field, and there is nothing we can do about it.” To escape, you are the only one who can rely on the golden battle energy to last one more day. Therefore, I need you to promise me one thing." The old magician pointed to Du Wei: "Your golden battle energy can protect the space around you. Holding a person in your arms can also hide under your grudge defense, I want you to hold this kid Du Wei and move forward! If you move forward with all your strength, your walking speed will be much faster than now... "
"But I can only last about a day." Hussein said coldly, "I still can't get out of this ice sheet in a day."
"Then it's up to fate." The old magician sighed: "This is the only way. Although the hope is slim, there may be a miracle that will let you walk out of the ice field. I calculated that the speed at which you run with all your strength will last a day. , even if you can't get out, it's not too far away, maybe... some miracle will happen."
Everyone didn't speak, and everyone's faces were complicated. Du Wei looked at his companions, and suddenly said, "Maybe, should I summon Semel out?"
"It's useless." The old magician smiled bitterly in a low voice: "I have already calculated all the powers. Samel... Although I am not sure what happened to her, but I can be sure that it is by your side This Semel is much, much weaker than the Semel I know. Have you forgotten the scene of her duel with Hussein before? Hussein, who has not yet been promoted to the Paladin, can fight with Hussein Semel lost both sides in the fight. With such strength, I guess Semel's magic power is above level eight, but it will not exceed too much. Even if we add an eighth-level magician, we will not be able to get out. So, There's not much use in summoning Semel now, I mean..."
The old magician glanced at Hussein: "I'm afraid even you will be sacrificed if necessary."
Hussein didn't speak, the knight's face was as indifferent and proud as ever.
"I will give my magic wand to Du Wei, and then Hussein, you take Du Wei forward and protect him with your golden battle energy. If you still can't get out of the ice field when your battle energy is exhausted, Then, Du Wei! You give up on Hussein and move forward with your magic wand! There is also a Semel beside you, Semel's magic power can support the magic circle for a period of time, and as long as you protect yourself, the magic power consumption will be reduced. It won't be very big, I think, and maybe it will get you out."
Du Wei's face turned cold. He looked carefully at the old magician, then at Hussein, his eyes turned from Medusa to Gargamel, and QQ "You mean, after sacrificing everyone, only I will have the chance in the end." Go out alive?" Du Wei immediately refused: "Although I am not a good person, I still cannot accept such a thing as sacrificing my companions to protect my life. And, don't forget, tomorrow, the dragon will die. I will catch up from the sacred mountain. Maybe I will be caught up by it before I step out of the ice field. With all of you, we still have the power to fight. If you don’t even have you. Do you think I can defeat the dragon clan alone? The patriarch? That guy has recovered his dragon body. His strength is almost comparable to that of Aragorn himself!"
Everyone is silent.
Indeed, a patriarch of the dragon clan who has recovered his dragon body is almost as powerful as Aragorn himself! No one thought that Du Wei could deal with such a powerful enemy.
Of course, there are still places to raise objections.
Just when everyone was silent. Suddenly a sharp voice sounded! That penguin, elegantly, always maintains its poise, QQ is comparable to Aragorn himself", suddenly flew into a rage!
The penguin screamed, and then jumped up with its whole body. Seeing its angry look, it was almost ready to pounce on Du Wei with its mouth open!
"Who said! Who said that the old dragon's strength can rival Aragorn! Nonsense! In this world, there is no existence that is stronger than the master of Aragorn! Absolutely nothing! That old dragon. If the master is resurrected, then You can cut it into seventeen or eighteen pieces casually!"
Fortunately, penguins have no claws or teeth. Otherwise, seeing its angry appearance, I'm afraid it will really jump up and bite Du Wei, but it has almost hit its head on Du Wei's chest. The clumsy and fat body jumped up and down, expressing his indignation to Du Wei.
"Okay." Du Wei frowned, looking at this "divine beast" rescued from the coffin by himself, apart from being able to talk, this guy is simply a burden: "I know you are defending Aragorn's mood, but the fact is In fact, if Aragorn hadn't tricked the old dragon into drinking the Fountain of Youth, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him back then."
"Fart!!" QQ came, and then it also froze for a moment, quickly covered its mouth, and then sighed, touching its chest: "Oh, demeanor! You must maintain demeanor..." Then he glared at Du Wei: "Who said Allah? Gong can't beat that old dragon!"
Then, the angry penguin glared at everyone, and asked loudly: "Have you never thought of it? Aragorn walked through this ice field just like you! He experienced such a strong storm! When he walked out of the ice field, , the strength is only one or two left at most! In the situation where the magic power is almost exhausted and exhausted, challenge the patriarch of the dragon clan, and the two are tied! If there is no storm on the ice field that weakens Aragorn's strength, less than In a short time, he will be able to cut off that guy's dragon head!"
"What did you say?!" Du Wei and the old magician's eyes lit up at the same time, staring at QQ and saying something.
QQ raised his head and did not back down: I said that when Aragorn walked across the ice field, his strength was only one or two percent left! Only then was the old dragon forced into a tie. This is a fact! He told me himself! "
Du Wei met the old magician, and at the same time thought of a key question!
Aragorn walked through the ice field and lost 80 to 90% of his strength
Of course, he lost 80% to 90% of his strength and was able to tie with the powerful Dragon Clan patriarch. This kind of strength was originally misunderstood by everyone... Now it seems that Aragorn is indeed worthy of the name of the most powerful man under the starry sky. Originally thought that the patriarch of the dragon clan in the form of a dragon could be compared to Aragorn, but now it seems to be a wrong guess...
However, there is more important information in QQ's remarks
With only 10% to 20% of the remaining strength able to tie the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, one can only imagine how strong Aragorn's full strength is!
But with such a powerful strength, eighty to ninety percent of it was consumed by this magic circle? So, this magic circle is too powerful, too terrifying, too much, right
"No! It's not right at all!" Du Wei immediately shouted: "No!"
He scratched his hair vigorously, caught the flash of inspiration in his heart, and said quickly: "If it is said that even Aragorn's strength was consumed by this storm by 80 to 90%, then when Aragorn walked here thousands of years ago, , The intensity of the storm here is even stronger! On the contrary, two hundred years ago, old man, when you came here, the storm weakened a lot. At least if it can consume 80% or 90% of Aragorn's strength, if it is With that kind of intensity, you would have died long ago! This storm is not getting stronger all the time, but seems to be... "
"It seems that it has the function of adjusting the intensity of self-retaliation based on the strength of the intruder." The old magician summed it up accurately.
When Aragorn walked in, the intensity of the storm could consume eighty to ninety percent of his strength.
When the old magician walked over alone two hundred years ago, the storm also consumed most of his strength. If compared with that in Aragon, the storm is equal to weakening.
And now, everyone is here, and the storm has become stronger than the old magician's experience last time.
"Obviously, this magic circle can sense the strength of the intruder. The stronger it is, the stronger it will be." Du Wei said quickly, "Maybe we can take advantage of this weakness."
"How to use it? Shall we turn off the magic circle now?" Gargamel yelled, and then the mouse's voice became weak: "You guys have talked and talked, have you found a solution? Also, I can't stand it any longer. It’s over! You’d better come and replace me for a while! Otherwise, this magic circle will be finished now!”
The old magician raised his eyebrows, and immediately took the wand from Gargamel's hand. While injecting magic power, he said in a low voice: "Du Wei's guess is very reasonable... But, remove the magic circle? This storm will stop ? I don’t think it’s possible, maybe all of us will be torn apart in an instant.”
After Du Wei suddenly grabbed QQ and left Shenshan, how did he walk back? "
yes! The old magician's eyes lit up!
How did Aragorn go back? When he went there, he lost 80% to 90% of his strength, fought another battle with the patriarch of the dragon clan, and even started such a large road paving project on the sacred mountain! It stands to reason that he should be the one who consumed the most. How did Aragorn go back in the end
"How do I know." QQ shook his head, patted Du Wei's hand vigorously, and said slowly, "Do you know that it is very impolite to pinch someone's neck like this! Back then, Master Aragorn locked me in In the sarcophagus, he didn't take me back. Of course I don't know how he walked back." What: "When the master was leaving, he said that the ice field was weird, and he seemed to have left something...in the sarcophagus."
Du Wei immediately said nothing, dropped the QQ, took off the burden on his back, and flipped over quickly.
"What is it?" Du Wei poured out all the relics of Aragorn in the baggage in one breath, and turned to look at QQ, "I have slept for too long, and I don't remember some things very clearly." QQ looked at Du Wei: "I seem to remember that the master said that the ground is a high, pointed, retractable ground, something that can be inserted... oh, let me think..."
"What the hell is it?" Du Wei said patiently.
"The name of that thing is very weird, I should remember it..." QQ tilted his head: "It seems to be called... avoid... avoid the wind. Ah yes, it is called a wind-proof needle!"
