Zhao Xu, who was driving the carriage, never thought that one day he would be chased by a pack of winter wolves.
He didn't even have to look back, he could feel the snowflakes swirling up in the sky as the winter wolf army charged behind him.
At this moment, he was controlling the war horse, and from time to time he would cast the previous "Cure Minor Injuries" spell on the horse that was running fast, exhausted its stamina, and had internal injuries.
Facing Zhao Xu, a spellcaster with dual cultivation of Sinnoh and Olympus, he can basically be self-sufficient in whatever happens.
Spells are the best treasure chest.
Even though the winter wolf army behind him was extremely fast, it almost caught up several times, but was defeated by Zhao Xu's temporary acceleration method.
Even after exhausting their endurance, these winter wolves fell into a state of exhaustion and could only hang far behind.
At this time, Zhao Xu looked at the ice-cracked canyon not far ahead and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Legend has it that this ice-cracked canyon was split open by a god who swung his sword when he was chasing an ancient white dragon.
In the end, only a small gap in the middle was left for passage.
Generally speaking, only veterans who are in a hurry and have traveled to the Icefield Mountains many times will choose this shortcut to climb the mountain if they have no choice.
In most cases, other people choose to climb the post road, which is much flatter and safer but extremely time-consuming and laborious.
Zhao Xu's own riding skills didn't have much in the way, and he relied on his agility attribute all the way to make do.
Seeing that the carriage was approaching the canyon, the frost giants driving behind them couldn't help but roar, scolding the pursuing winter wolves.
Because these winter wolves were slowing down at this time, fearing that they would get too close and roll into the valley without stopping the car.
Generally speaking, when they come down from the mountains to big towns, they rarely take this shortcut.
The road section through the canyon simply cannot accommodate so many winter wolves passing through at the same time, and even a single mistake can cause an avalanche.
The shadow of death, with a ferocious meaning, has been hanging over this area, watching every passerby who accidentally missed it.
However, Zhao Xu's approach was extremely tough.
He was like a desperate car about to turn a corner. Instead of downshifting and slowing down, he drove the horse in front of him more eagerly, as if there was a flat snowfield road ahead.
At the same time, in the mountains, in an igloo built after cutting ice blocks, two heads suddenly appeared.
"Sister, it's strange. Look, there are actually a pack of winter wolves chasing a carriage in front of you." A man said in surprise.
His sister, who was beside him, used the monocular telescope in her hand to observe it from a wide angle, then shook her head and said: "The carriage is hopeless, although I don't know what means he relied on to make the carriage behind him collapse. They are as light as a swallow, but there is an ice-cracked canyon in front of them. As long as these winter wolves behind them are not stupid, if they surround and kill each other with less than ten wolves at a time, they will definitely be exhausted and killed."
After the woman finished speaking, she was about to put down the monocular in her hand. She and her brother had spent a lot of effort in the past two days to barely pass through the ice-cracked canyon.
At present, a carriage wants to rely on riding skills to safely pass through the canyon in the presence of pursuers. If you don't have a riding skill level above level 40, it is basically out of the question.
As for level 40, no one in the world can reach it.
"That's not right, Xiao Nian, look at the horse running up to this point in perfect condition and walking as fast as flying. Maybe the driver is a spell caster."
"Brother, you are so naive. How can you not know that your sister is also a warlock?" The delicate woman laughed, "If you fall here, it will be useless to throw away the Feather Falling Technique. There are countless ice edges below, so casually It will make you feel cold to the core."
"If it flies up, there will be an undercurrent of storm above the ice-cracked canyon, and it could be blown out of balance and killed at any time. Unless it is the kind of mage who can use long-distance teleportation, no one will be able to come here."
After hearing this, the tall man looked back at his armor. He couldn't help the other person even if he wanted to, so he could only look at him with regret, "It's a pity. If this person had arrived earlier, I could have helped him."
The sister on the side looked at her paladin brother angrily and said, "Brother, you are just dragging me to die together. I only have three resurrection stones left, and I don't want to waste them here."
"Hey, yes, yes." The man said embarrassedly, but his eyes immediately brightened, "By the way, Xiao Nian, do you think I can save him by riding that flying griffon?"
The younger sister shook her head, "You know the intensity of that storm better than I do. I even suspect that there is mysterious magic operating on it. Whether the man dies or not is another matter. Brother, you will definitely fall to pieces first. If you don't feel sorry for us, we Let’s see if we can collect his body later, or inform his family.”
"Won't he fall and be shattered to pieces?" the man wondered.
Only then did the younger sister realize what she had said. She had no choice but to explain, "You really thought he would stop. He would have stopped the carriage to the limit later, and then got out of the car to fight with these winter wolves."
The woman also had a headache as she spoke. The two of them finally managed to get through. It was extremely troublesome to collect the body of the other party.
Hearing this, the man also showed a frustrated look. Although the Paladin is very powerful, it can even surpass several other major melee professions. With the player's 28 or even 32 talent points, it is even more outstanding.
But he still can't defy the sky like a mage.
However, when the two brothers and sisters in the ice sculpture fortress were speculating about Zhao Xu's fate, he kept waving the whip in his hand and driving the horses forward hastily.
As for the winter wolves behind them, many of them were exhausted and fell on the snow.
Those who followed him all looked at the carriage in Zhao Xu's hand with fierce eyes, grinning, as if they were ready to pounce on food at any time.
In the end, the horse just kept running forward, as if it continued to run down and its consciousness became blurred, forgetting that there was an abyss in front of it.
"Is he seeking death?" The woman in the ice sculpture fortress looked at this scene and said in great shock.
She had already seen that the braking distance of the carriage was not enough, and it would be too late to stop again, and it would definitely fall into the pit.
At this moment, the frost giants behind them also let out a roaring roar, calling out to the winter wolves that were rushing forward beside them. They were still weighing the boulders in their hands, preparing to throw them.
At this time, Zhao Xu saw that the front hooves of the war horse had already reached the edge of the cliff. In a few seconds, they would collapse.
"Flying."
At this critical moment, the spell and gestures in Zhao Xu's hand were just completed, and a green light representing flight energy condensed on his hand on the spot.
Zhao Xu took advantage of the situation and slapped the horse on the butt.
The war horse, which was originally running wildly on the snowy field on its legs, suddenly seemed to have grown wings and soared directly into the air, and its speed did not stop.
Above the canyon filled with snow, in front of them was an abyss beyond sight, and behind them was an army of winter wolves chasing after them.
The carriage controlled by Zhao Xu was so imaginative that it flew across the Grand Canyon beyond everyone's expectations.
"This is too dreamy."
The sister on the fortress suddenly exclaimed, but she reacted immediately.
Neither horses nor people can fly across this canyon, she couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity."
And on the endless snowfield as far as the eye could see, the frost giant leading the team had a cruel look on his face and said to himself in giant language, "The way to death is extremely useless."
At this moment, the war horse, which was originally full of joy in mastering the ability to fly, suddenly neighed eagerly, and the ability to fly in the air suddenly lost control.
Under this canyon, mysterious crooked winds kept spewing out. The powerful impact suddenly overturned the carriage Zhao Xu was sitting on, like a twisted rope that kept dragging it.
Then there was another mysterious suction force, and the carriage instantly fell to the ground freely, falling towards the ground like a cannonball.
"This?" The warlock woman was also surprised when she saw this scene. "It seems that without the ice edge, using the Feather Falling Technique will definitely lead to death."
"Hey." As the elder brother, the paladin was also helpless, "I'm afraid this three-ring mage didn't prepare the fireball technique, otherwise he could still fight to the death and pull some backers."
The ice-cracked canyon uses the bodies of victims every year to tell the people of the North about its horrors.
"Forget it, sister, come back, it's windy outside." The paladin man retracted from the narrow ice sculpture door at this time.
Just for a moment, his whole body was like a cat with ruffled hair, and he almost jumped up.
"Sorry for taking the liberty of visiting."
They saw a mage wearing a shimmering cloak with countless stars pouring down from it, sitting deep in the ice sculpture and saying hello to them.
