The Record of Initiation - Legacy of Nightmares Chapter 25 A Less Cruel Consequence
The group continued to walk along the upper reaches, and after resting and eating once, they arrived at the pond mentioned in the information at about three o'clock in the afternoon. After a brief search, they found the less obvious cave next to the small waterfall that night, Alexander's
Dark vision can only see a corner near the entrance of the cave, after all, the line of sight cannot turn.
"It's almost time, the ice grass may mature at any time." Alexander clenched the bow in his hand and walked inside: "There should be two wolves inside, so be careful."
"Is that iceweed in this cave?" Fageni followed in with a new knife that was obviously not fragrant.
"That's right." Alexander carefully dug in. "Be careful to spread out and don't hit more than two people by possible range attacks. This way you won't be accidentally injured by Chino. By the way, you can't see things secretly, right? You guys before
You should have bought a torch when you went shopping for adventure equipment, right?”
"Well, it's too dark inside, so we can only light a torch." Fageni took out the torch and lit it, then passed Alexander and walked inside.
Kino also surpassed Alexander, but was still several feet away from the two.
Alexander followed the two of them vigilantly and walked inside the twisted cave. As they went deeper, the three of them felt the cold, and they began to find slight frost on the ground. At the end, there was frost on the edge of the cave passage and the wall.
The bottom is starting to freeze. The cave is still 10 feet wide enough for normal movement.
"Wait a moment, everyone." Kino's voice was not too loud and the conversation echoed twice. Because the sound was not loud, it had no effect, but it was obvious that he was shivering from the cold.
[Is this the Echo Cave? Are you sure it's not the Ice Cave?] Alexander followed behind with a headache. "Speak softly..."
"What's wrong?" Fageni asked softly.
"Do you want to recover from your injuries first? Otherwise, I'm afraid the injuries may be too serious when we fight later." Kino asked.
"It's up to you. I don't think I need it for now." Alexander's injuries are almost healed, and there is no need to use healing potion for minor problems.
Fageni touched his belt, handed the bottle of potion he had been carrying to Kino, and then continued walking slowly.
Kino drank the healing potion and moved on.
The three of them continued to move forward, and just a few steps after passing a corner, a wolf with dark blue hair also appeared from the corner opposite the cave passage. Alexander and the wolf discovered each other at the same time in the darkness. She saw the wolf pat.
With his claws, many ice cones with cold air were generated out of thin air and shot toward the three of them.
"Right in front, I only saw one, about seventy-five feet away." Alexander said hurriedly and avoided the incoming ice pick. The sound of the ice pick cracking continued to echo in the cave, and Alexander's voice was difficult to hear clearly.
.
Fortunately, Alexander reminded him in time. Fageni and Kino heard the first half of the words and took corresponding evasive actions. However, even so, the injuries suffered by the three people were not minor.
He held the bow in his hand and drew the arrow. The lightning on Alexander's enchanted arrow allowed Kino and Fageni to briefly see the position of the demon wolf. Moreover, they also saw that the demon wolf wanted to dodge the arrow, but the arrow
Instead, the arrow penetrated the wolf's soft flank.
"Ahem, what the hell." Fageni held the knife upside down in his right hand, took out a bottle of potion from his waist and drank it, then continued to hold the knife in front of him. Kino also drew the sword with one hand and drank the potion with the other.
.
The demonic beast named Gnawing Yin Wolf roared, causing the ears of the three of them to hurt. At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew in their faces, and the already low temperature dropped rapidly.
Alexander instilled more magic power into the arrow and shot another arrow. With a flash of lightning, the arrow was inserted into the wolf's neck. It seemed that there was more air coming out and less air coming in.
Fageni knew something was wrong, and the torch was still under his feet. He threw away the empty potion bottle, picked up the torch, and walked forward sixty feet to illuminate the monster.
The moment he saw the enemy, Kino rushed over, unsheathed his saw-toothed fangs, and slashed at the wolf. But just as Kino killed the gnawing wolf, the chill around him continued unabated.
increase.
Countless flowing black energy suddenly appeared in the shadow formed by the weak light of the torch, and tightly bound Alexander. Before she could warn him, a dark shadow jumped out from the shadow between the archer and Fageni and rushed towards Qi.
promise.
A wolf that was completely made of shadow under the light drew a sad claw shadow towards Kino, and left a claw mark on Kino's back. This monster actually has the ability to move in the shadow plane of eternal darkness for a short time! Although
At this time, the three of them did not know about the Shadow Realm of Eternal Darkness, one of the echo planes of the material plane.
Kino raised his sword and turned around with a slash to drive back the monster, then drank a bottle of potion to stabilize the injury.
"Damn it!" Alexander's whole body was filled with magical light wrapped with thunder and lightning. He quickly broke away from the black energy and clenched the bow in his hand again.
Fageni knew that he could only fight with all his strength to find a way out. He clenched his sword and struck five times in a row, not seeking accuracy but only speed. Fageni felt that he did not hit flesh and blood, nor did he feel like he was incarnate.
, soft, but there was no doubt that the wolf's body was trembling. He did not notice the weak air current surrounding the blade, which was a wind-type attack formed by the magic power he subconsciously injected into it.
Several lines of black energy stretched out from the shadows on the wall and entangled Fageni, because the situation could be seen under the light environment. He dodged two of them but was still entangled. Fortunately, this kind of supernatural power can be used by barbaric
Try to break free.
The second Yin-Gnawing Wolf continued to chase the more seriously injured Kino, adding another minor claw mark on her body.
Alexander's third lightning still hit, but the arrow passed through his body and flew to the wall. The shadow dispersed and inside was a slightly smaller gnawing wolf. It could be seen that there were Fageni's knife marks and Alexander's arrow wounds on its body.
.
Kino took a deep breath and remembered the dazzling army-breaking attack she had just learned. However, due to Alexander's attack, the Gnawing Yin Wolf was five feet away from Fageni and was out of range. She no longer hesitated, and three sword lights passed by again.
Two scars were left on the demon wolf's body.
The Gnawing Yin Wolf desperately rushed towards Kino, showing a tooth that was as cold as ice and biting Kino's forearm. Then the wolf also broke away from the attack of Fageni who released the black energy.
collapsed.
Alexander felt that the extremely low temperature around her was beginning to slowly rise, but it would still cause severe frostbite. She put away her weapon and shouted to Kino: "Is it okay? Take the medicine quickly."
"Ahem, cough, cough, ztmd it's cold." Fageni half-knelt on the ground and looked at Chino: "Are you okay? I've run out of medicine."
"Then how can we go back later? I forgot to buy medicine. If it doesn't work, I'll just wait and rest." Alexander took out the knife, thought about it and put it back.
"There is one more bottle." Kino tremblingly took out the only remaining bottle of medicine, but did not drink it immediately.
"After all, no one could have guessed that half of the medicine was consumed on the way." Fageni tried to stand up. His injury was not too serious.
"There is still one bottle of the medicine you gave me before. Do you want it? Although I am tired..." Kino asked.
"No, your injuries are more serious than mine." Fageni turned back to look at Alexander. "Quickly pick those grasses. We probably need to stay here for a day. The injuries are too serious." He pointed to the waist.
Healing ointment. "This place has the scent of these two wolves. There should be no animals that dare to come. If we rush back in this situation, the danger will be greater."
"Staying in this environment for a day? How is it possible?" Alexander took out the cold iron box and continued to search for the iceweed.
"The areas that are not deep here are not frozen, so you can stay here." Fageni gripped the knife and followed closely, and Kino had no choice but to drink the potion in his hand and follow him.
The three of them moved forward quickly, and soon reached the end - it was a huge hollow made entirely of ice crystals, with a length, width and height of more than fifteen meters. An ice-blue wolf wolf that had not yet fully grown its fur was lying on an almost fully mature body.
He slept soundly in front of a few sky-blue grass blades. The next moment, the blades of iceberg grass were fully unfolded and fully mature. But Kino felt more and more pain in the unhealed wound on his forearm.
Alexander gently put down the box, put his hand on the bow behind his back and prepared to go, and signaled the two of them with his eyes. The moment Fageni saw the wolf, he slowed down, and Kino also tightened his grip on his sword.
If you look carefully, you will see that there are many traces of melting and wolf fur on the ice ground. Maybe there is more than one wolf cub like this, but now there is only one left.
Alexander stood ready and slowly took off his bow, put a fine gold arrow on the bow, waited for the two men to approach, and was ready to shoot if the wolf showed signs of waking up.
Fageni walked gently in front of Alexander to be on guard and then continued walking forward. If such a living monster was tamed, it might be sold for hundreds of linseys. When he thought of the possibility of making a fortune, Fageni had already walked a short distance away.
The wolf was less than twenty feet away, so he pounced forward to suppress it.
Seemingly asking about the smell of Fageni, the little wolf twitched his nose and woke up. The next moment he saw someone approaching, he ran towards the back of the cave, but fell down and started to lie on the ground howling. This made Alexander
It feels like I heard the coquettish voice of the she-wolf Susie in the rain forest before, but the color is much different from Susie, even though they both have blue fur...
Alexander's attention was attracted by Fageni's movements. Seeing that the wolf woke up, he was about to shoot an arrow, but when he saw it fell down, he stopped and asked: "What are you doing?"
Fageni was unable to make a pounce, so he adjusted his posture and moved forward to try to suppress it. Finally he caught the wolf cub. He stuck a torch in its mouth and suppressed its limbs. Only then did he have time to answer Alexander: "
Prepare to capture him alive and bring him back alive."
"What are you going to do with this little guy?" Kino asked.
"Don't you think it's too cruel to kill parents and then kidnap their children to sell them?" Alexander also thought of this at this time.
"Obviously its parents beat us, Alexander, you don't want to raise it, do you?" Kino also realized that Warcraft cubs can be sold for money, so he asked her doubtfully.
"Those are two different things. It would be fine if I killed him." Alexander's principles and bottom line were quite strange in every aspect.
"I didn't say I wanted to sell it. Isn't it good to try to raise it?" Fageni took off his shirt, shivering from the cold, but still wrapped it around the little wolf. The little wolf struggled with claws and bites.
Fageni's skin was not broken, after all, the teeth didn't grow much.
Kino sheathed the weapon, endured the pain, rubbed her hands and looked around. Soon she found an unnatural piece of ice in the corner of the cave. This was the direction the wolf had fled. She smacked her lips and slowly
Go to the ice wall over there and check out that unnatural piece of ice.
"Wouldn't it be more cruel to kill parents and then raise it?" Seeing that the little wolf was not a threat, Alexander put away his bow, picked up the box to collect iceweed, and said: "In our current state, how can we bring it back? What do you expect?
Will it follow us obediently?"
Kino discovered that the ice block could be moved away and led to other places, just enough for the smaller wolf that could transform into a shadow form to pass through. There were also some wolf hairs inside. Judging from the traces of melting, it should be the later third wolf.
When the first wolf was stalling for time, the two wolves probably took the little wolf away from it. "Tsk, this is a hidden passage. The wolf just now may not be dead, no, it should be dead... In other words,
There was a wolf here before, and he ran away with a little wolf." She told Alexander and Phageni the news about the hidden exit.
"It's nonsense that it's not dead. We would have died long ago." Alexander put the iceberg grass into the box and put it away. "If there is another wolf, we will be dead. There can be no other adult wolves alive."
When Alexander finished recycling the materials, Kino felt the pain in her arm became more obvious, as if the biting cold wind was still inside. "My arm hurts so much." She covered her left arm and murmured:
"I seemed to have been frostbitten just now."
Alexander put the box containing the icewort into his backpack, took out the box that Brandon used to put the cloak, and walked towards Fageni. "Oh, put it here with me, at least I only have my own blood on me.
.Go and see what’s in that hidden passage.”
The little wolf caught by Fageni stopped howling, and spewed out a breath of cold air that froze the cloth, then tore a hole and tried to get out.
Alexander grabbed the back of the wolf's neck and carried it into the box, leaving a gap for ventilation. He looked back at the gap. "Isn't it impossible to get in?"
"Normally, this is for wolves to pass through. Our size will definitely not be able to pass through." Kino walked towards the warmer passage, rubbing his arm that was already numb and asked: "Alexander...can my arm be saved?"
?
"Well, let's get rid of the corpses of those two wolves. There may be Origin Cores." Alexander then told Chino how to use the corpses to absorb the Origin Cores to strengthen themselves among the twenty-six methods.
Said: "Maybe it can be cured?
"It'll be good if this solves the problem." Kino followed Fageni to watch him dispose of the wolf's body, and opened a hole in it in search of the core of the Infinite Origin.
Alexander pressed the box with both hands to prevent the little wolf from getting out. He sat down where the iceweed grew and raised his voice and asked the two people on the other side of the passage: "Are you planning to rest here?"
"It's okay to go back now, but the risk will be a little higher at night than in the morning." Fageni's voice echoed from the passage. He was wiping sweat with his sleeves. This was not an easy job.
"Hmm... I don't think it's good to stay here overnight, but it should be okay to take a short rest." Kino now felt that the wound was beginning to hurt again, which was a good sign to prove that the nerves were not necrotic.
The bodies of the two wolf corpses did not have ordinary Warcraft crystal nuclei, but a blue ice crystal and a black ice crystal were found. Both ice crystals exuded a biting chill and were larger than the few ice crystals he had seen.
The initial core is much smaller, maybe you can ask Alexander.
Fageni picked up the two crystals, went to Alexander and asked, "What are these?"
"Bring it over and let me take a look." Alexander observed the two ice crystals. After careful observation, she believed that these two crystals were natural energy condensed to the extreme. They were also one of the original forms of the Origin Core, which could be melted through water.
Absorption. If a beast swallows this, it will most likely turn into a monster. If it is given to a monster, it will increase its growth rate. According to its properties, it can be brought back in a cold iron box without evaporating. Since it is not completely
To form the core of the origin, it will evaporate within a certain period of time without the corresponding equipment. "Is there no core of the origin? No, since so much elemental energy and magic power has been condensed, it is not wrong that this is also a kind of the core of the origin.
"
Fageni put the things on the box in Alexander's hand and said: "You watch first, I will try to skin them." Fageni went back and tried to skin the two wolves.
"Thank you for your cramps. If there are any bones that look suitable for making a bow, feel free to take them." The little wolf was really pitiful. Fortunately, he couldn't understand Common Language.
"My arm is half disabled, what should I do now?" Kino sighed when he saw Fageni coming back with blood on his hands.
"It's not broken, you can go to the priest to find a solution." Fageni heard that the most powerful priest can resurrect the recently dead, so repairing the broken limbs must be no problem.
Alexander stood up while maintaining the pressure and went over to look at Kino's arm. "Hurry back to the city for treatment. If you wait too long, there will definitely be problems. Fageni came over to help me press the box, and I put the two crystals
Put it in a cold iron box and take it away. It will definitely sell for a lot of money, enough for Chino to treat his arm."
"I got it, let's go first. Fageni, come here and help hold the box!" Kino gestured to kick Fageni, who was still squatting on the ground.
"Huh? Do you have to kick me when you need me?" Fageni looked back and stood up. "Okay, here we go." He gave up on peeling half of the skin and was about to go back and take it back to continue peeling.
"Hold this." Alexander waited for Fageni to hold the box, then took out the cold iron box from his back and planned to put the two crystals in and then put it back into his backpack and close it. Not two seconds after Fageni took it, the box turned into
The ice cubes were covered with countless ice spikes spreading rapidly on the surface.
"Ah, hell." Alexander quickly took the box from Fageni and stepped on it, causing the ice crystals to fall to the ground. "Okay, let's continue. We will leave after breaking the skin, removing the bones and cramping, and take away the whole body.
You may attract other monsters on the road."
"You go about your business." Fageni gave the box to Alexander and continued to skin it.
"Alexander, you just said it. Now Fageni's body smells of his family's blood. Wolves have a keen sense of smell, and they will naturally get angry when they smell the blood of their own relatives," Kino reminded.
"Stop talking." Alexander took the box and quickly put it on the ground, then opened it and grabbed the little wolf by the back of his neck and pulled it out.
During this process, the blue ice crystals continued to shrink, and the temperature of the little wolf also began to drop rapidly. The only result of the accumulation of unstable natural energy was an explosion.
Kino quickly kicked the crystal away. In fact, she had not considered whether it would cause an explosion, but fortunately it did not. Alexander sighed and simply threw the little wolf out.
After the wolf landed in a stable position, he ran towards the depths of the cave without looking back. "My money!" Fageni screamed and chased after him, only to see the wolf get into the hidden passage discovered by Kino and let go.
A loud cold fart then disappeared from his eyes. This chapter has been completed!
