The halfling crawled out of the pool, choking on the water, holding the dwarf paladin like a weight with one hand. Both of them were dripping wet, and their weapons, armor and backpacks were all covered with water drops. Especially the dwarf's.

A thick beard can be squeezed out like a towel soaked in water.

Even in this situation, the paladin still held on to his treasure tightly and did not let go - Altaïr's forgiveness, the Grand Crusader's Shield, the daylight spell on the shield was always working, and the bright

The pure white light breaks through the deep darkness and outlines the general outline of the underground:

A cold pool in an underground cave is deep and deep, surrounded by an open space with clusters of rugged stone stalactites. The light shines on these strange-shaped sharp stones, reflecting colorful brilliance.

It's like glazed porcelain. Farther away from the pool, there's another scenery - there are ice crystals hanging upside down between the sharp rocks. There seems to be a world of ice and snow over there, with long

Ice prisms are connected one after another, and the air is filled with thick ice mist. Therefore, the entire cave is so cold that it makes people chatter.

But the strange thing is that there seems to be a natural dividing line between the ice and snow and the pool: a circle with a radius of thirty feet is used as the scope, and the two sides of the boundary are clearly defined. As soon as the ice crystals enter this area, they will automatically melt and turn into snow water and pour into the pool.

middle.

On the other side, it was pitch black above the pool, and the light from the daylight spell couldn't reach the edge here—in fact, the two people fell from there. These strange landscapes maintained for a short while, and the dwarf's shield

The light above dimmed little by little, and finally flickered twice. The surrounding area returned to darkness.

"...Make a fire quickly." The dwarf gasped, lying motionless on the rock as if he was dying.

After all, you have to understand how a guy wearing two or thirty kilograms of iron armor would feel in the water. It was simply terrible. Even with the help of the halfling druid, he was still tortured.

"Don't rush me. I'm working on it!" Halfling Shota said in his usual sharp voice: "But I accidentally got a little water in, which is a bit troublesome..."

There was the sound of flint and iron clashing in the darkness.

"What is this place?"

"Even if you ask this, how can I answer it?"

"It's... damn it's cold. Can you hurry up?"

"I'm already the fastest!"

"That's because you are incompetent!"

"Damn it! I said it was because I accidentally entered the water!"

"A good adventurer will wrap his fire-making tools in oilcloth."

"Mr. Dwarf, this is----not small

"There is a proverb in our dwarf hometown: Don't always make excuses for your stupidity.

"...You hateful, short, stupid guy, if you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you back into the water!" The halfling finally became angry with shame.

The paladin stopped talking for a while, and there was silence. There was a soft rustling sound in the cave.

"What sound did you hear?" After a while, he asked again.

"Ah----" the halfling was stunned for a moment. He listened carefully and then complained: "Damn it, your loud voice must have attracted the monster!"

"Aha." The dwarf said proudly: "Who had the louder voice just now?"

The halfling wanted to throw the flint in his hand at this guy's face, "Hell, you have half the responsibility, okay!?" he shouted angrily.

While the two were arguing, a cold voice came from above their heads: "You still have time to argue, how about you find a way to kill one of the other party and leave what is left as the monster's next meal?"

These words made both of them shut up at the same time, and then four balls of light flew out from the darkness above their heads, illuminating the underground cave again; the mage hugged the elf lady and slowly floated down from there, his scarlet robe without wind.

Automatically----he fell into the pool, and the magic lifted him up lightly, allowing him to walk on the water.

This effect only lasted for a moment, but the mage had already stepped ashore before that.

He took a look at the surrounding environment, and finally his eyes fell on the crisscrossing ice pillars, and he frowned.

"It's an underground ice cave, how can you two turn a blind eye to it?" The mage took a breath and became angry: "This is the south, not the glacier belt on the Suzan Plateau! This makes me very curious. What exactly are you?

How did you get to level 4?"

In fact, these free players are like this. Although they have superb personal skills and rich experience, they are all liberals. They are undisciplined and undisciplined. Of course, no one criticizes them on weekdays, but they often have no sense of responsibility in the team.

Just act according to your own preferences.

The mage's rebuke made the dwarf blush as red as a tomato, and the halfling also smiled sarcastically. However, these shames did not help the monster's arrival, and the rustling deep in the cave was getting closer and closer.

The dwarf picked up his war hammer. It seemed to be getting colder and colder in the cave, making him shiver. Xiao Fen used a magic trick to stabilize his body temperature, but it didn't seem to have much effect. The halfling also held the stick nervously.

, his little eyes stared unblinking at the direction where the unknown monster would appear.

The mage gently placed Miss Griffin behind a rock, then took out a Burning Hand scroll from the box, but after thinking for a moment, he took out a Spider Web spell.

The three of them wanted to find a place to hide at first, but there was really no hiding place near Hanshui Pond. In the end, they could only lie on the ground and wait motionlessly for the enemy to appear----

"What kind of monster do you think it is?" the halfling asked the dwarf in a low voice.

"A white dragon?" the dwarf thought for a moment.

"You're crazy, that thing will kill us!" The halfling's eyes widened. "Damn, I'm just guessing..." The dwarf muttered: "Then --- the ice spirit."

As if in response to the dwarf's words, a huge, ferocious-looking lizard head emerged from the darkness - it was in the shape of a streamlined triangle, with amber eyeballs sunk deep under the towering stork bone; the nostrils were at the tip of the triangle.

The upper part is flat and narrow; the upper and lower jaws are strong and strong, and the mouth is full of sharp teeth like ice crystals.

On the top of the triangle, on the forehead, the milky white skin is covered with pieces of ice blue solid scales. This creature looks like an opponent that is not easy to deal with.

"Dragon...wuwuwu..."

The halfling druid kept covering the dwarf's mouth, although his face was also deathly pale.

Then the lizard's head popped out of the darkness - behind it was its body, thick ice-blue scales sparkling in the magic light. Spiral lines outlined its strong and powerful muscles -

--It has no wings, a fusiform body, a long tail and six powerful limbs: of course, it is covered with sharp, ice pick-like claws.

This is not a dragon.^^

Xiao Fen almost heard the dwarves and halflings heaving a sigh of relief. But he had no such realization at all. He made a mysterious knowledge check and finally found out such a thing from the vast list of creatures and monsters in Canaan.

The name of a subspecies of lizard.

"This is a frost lizard...ahem." A female voice said.

Miss Griffin woke up at some point. She stared at the terrifying creature, her face a little pale.

"Frost Lizard!" The halfling almost jumped up from the ground. He said in the lowest voice and the most exaggerated expression: "Miss Griffin, you read that right! The Frost Lizard is a twenty-fourth level monster, with enough

Seven challenge levels. Not much worse than the Young Black Dragon..."

"No, it is far worse than the black dragon." The mage shook his head: "However, it is also a fatal threat to you."

Perhaps because they were too nervous, a few people automatically ignored the mage's word "you" here instead of "us".

"Will it find us?" the elf girl asked in a low voice with some fear.

"Probably...no way." The dwarf shivered from the cold.

Contrary to expectations, the frost lizard's triangular head looked around, then moved its bulky body and obviously took one or two steps towards them. As if it was an illusion, everyone saw a hazy white haze followed by

The frost lizards spread towards this side...

Then the system prompt rang in Xiao Fen’s ears:

"System prompt: You are affected by the freezing aura, taking 1d12(8) cold damage, and your flexibility is reduced by 20% for one round."

This reminder made everyone unable to sit still, no matter they were dwarves, halflings or our elf lady. They were all only third- and fourth-level characters. Among them, the paladin with the most health was only a little over forty; even

He was a Level 15 Dipalin. He was born anemic and his health was actually not as high as that of a dwarf paladin.

Before the actual contact started, almost 1/5 of the life was lost in one go, which was unbearable for anyone; especially Miss Griffin, as a third-level mage whose life is thinner than paper——One round

The blow almost caused a thin layer of ice crystals to form on her slender body. The elf girl's face was so white that she turned blue, and her lips were frozen black. Judging from the way she was struggling to hold on, she was probably going to be on the verge of falling in another round.

Dead state.

Xiao Fen is also miserable. Because of the ability brought by his doomsday ethnic template (note), the cold damage has an additional 140% bonus to him. This originally 1d8 cold damage has become 1d12 with him.

.

(Note----Secondary Fire HP: Fire attacks are reduced by 40%, cold attacks will cause 140% damage to players.)

"Damn it, what the hell kind of ability is this! It doesn't even have immunity!" The dwarf was the first to jump up, holding the warhammer tightly in his hands - but it was already covered with ice shards.

The mage almost subconsciously shot a cold resistance spell on Miss Griffin, and the elf girl also reacted and cast the same spell for the paladin; finally the druid took out a cold resistance scroll.

When he came to take a picture, a blue and green halo shone on his thick leather armor.

This round of action immediately alerted the frost lizard. This terrifying creature, whose blood was even cold, let out a series of deep roars from its throat, then swung its six legs in an S-shape and rushed towards the mage.

"System prompt: You are affected by the freezing aura and suffer 1d12(5) cold damage. Your flexibility is reduced by 20% for one round."

The cold air hit his face. Xiao Fen retreated skillfully, and with a slow movement, he took out a bottle of healing potion from his arms and poured it into his mouth. Then, the effect of resisting the cold also came to him -

-After casting the spell, the halfling druid immediately rolled in front of the elf mage, holding the wooden stick tightly with both hands--of course. His leather armor was already covered with ice spikes, and his face looked a little unsightly.

The dwarf is the worst. He is not very flexible in full body armor. The negative state of this cold aura makes it almost impossible for him to take a step; the paladin's armor makes a tooth-sore creaking sound almost every time he takes a step.

It took a lot of effort for him to block the sound between Xiao Fen and Frost Lizard. He was panting heavily and his face was ashen.

The frost lizard was still moving forward, and Miss Griffin cast a blazing magic ball to roll towards it, but the former avoided it cleverly; Miss Mage's face changed slightly, she had probably thought of the cr7 monster that was far beyond

Reflex save at this stage.
