The snow-covered forest seemed to have experienced a fierce battle. Winter wolf corpses lay scattered in the snow and bushes. The corpses were turning into black particles, escaping like black smoke. The winner of the battle
Apparently they belong to the other side who are not lying on the battlefield: those human knights from Cruz.
You Xi looked at this scene expressionlessly, while slowly walking along the open space between the woods, 'click', his leather boots stepped into the snow, "Damn it." You Xi cursed in a low voice,
He frowned and lifted his feet, took off his boots, patted the boots to shake out the snow inside, and then put them on again.
A gray-white winter wolf emerged from the bushes and whimpered at him in a low voice. You Xi raised his head and rubbed his chin: "About a quarter of an hour? They have already fled to the north?"
"Who are they, those Cruz guys?"
"I think so. Apart from them, there is no one else in this forest."
"Don't worry, it's just a stubborn fight. They can't run far."
The winter wolf whimpered in a low voice, and You Xi seemed to understand what the beast wanted to express, and stroked his forehead with his hand.
Although he is no longer as arrogant as he was in Ampelsel, he was indeed killed once in that war, died by the sword of the rebels during the escape, and the wounds suffered at that time left indelible marks on his body.
The trauma has been wiped out. Now his skin is as white as paper, lacking luster and moisture. His exposed arms and palms are as skinny as a skeleton. One eye is permanently blind, so he wears a mask with a mark on the surface.
Eye mask with hollow skull pattern to cover up.
There was also a fatal wound on his chest. It was a stab wound caused by a heavy sword, which has not yet healed. The gap leading to the ribs under the wound pierced the heart, but the heart that was once a human has long since decayed and no longer beats.
, it was replaced by a blazing white flame.
All this was because of the deals he made to those unnamed beings during his lifetime, who promised him eternal power, and he did enjoy this power after his death. Just in another way.
He became undead.
Only after being an undead can one understand how painful it is to be immortal. The fire of the soul is burning everything about the past in his memory all the time. Pain, regret, anger and sorrow, all kinds of negative emotions linger in his soul, making him endure torture day and night.
Day after day, human emotions are gradually worn away, and now only the cold hatred for the past is left in the mind.
But even though he became undead, it was not all without gain. Those unnamed beings did fulfill their promise and gave him strength, and summoning the winter wolves in the forest was just one of them.
This is a power that is far beyond the ordinary world. It is completely different from the shallow powers of human beings based on power. It is a real power that can be mastered.
More and more winter wolves are appearing in the forest like ghosts. The wolves are divided into small groups and are running in all directions.
You Xi listened carefully, and not long after, a long wolf howl sounded in the distance. He sneered. His pets had indeed discovered each other's traces.
…
In the clearing in the forest, several winter wolves circled around the bodies of their companions. They raised their heads, as if sniffing the smell of blood in the air. Then the leading wolf let out a long howl, and all turned towards the corpse.
Chase in one direction.
Scenes like this are happening everywhere.
The wolves soon discovered more traces. The corpses were buried under snowdrifts, among thorny thorns, and some were even hidden on tree trunks. Going north, more and more traces of such battles were left.
As if to outline a scene like this, the knights of the Cruz people fought and retreated, but they could never escape the pursuit of the wolves.
Marquis Youxi followed his wolf pack and inspected each corpse one by one. The sword wounds on the corpses confirmed his suspicion. At first, the Cruz people still had time to dispose of the corpses or bury them under the snow, but
Eventually, they had to leave the battlefield hastily and dump the winter wolf's body casually in the forest.
Moving forward a little further, those young people simply fled the battlefield, and most of the winter wolf corpses stayed at the location where they were killed:
This shows that the Cruz people have no time to dispose of the bodies and are fleeing in a hurry.
On the other hand, this also means that the wolves are getting closer and closer to them.
You Xi followed calmly, and sometimes he still had time to raise his head and look at the bright glacier in the north: If the other party knew the real name of that glacier, then they would definitely regret their choice.
That is not a natural glacier, but the outer wall of the Hibernator Temple buried by the glacier.
If you want to bypass that wall, you must bypass the entire central area of Breath of Milos.
About a quarter of an hour later, the wolves stopped in front, as if they had discovered something.
You Xi separated the herd and walked to where they stopped. After he saw clearly what his pet had found, he couldn't help but smile like a winner.
Those were footprints, a long series of footprints that stood out so clearly in the snow. The footprints left by the Cruz people hurriedly entered the Elson black pine forest ahead.
"You don't even have time to clean up the tracks. It seems that you noticed me," You Xi thought for a moment and snapped his fingers. He let the wolves disperse, filtering through the entire forest in front of them like a big net.
…
Freya and her party trudged through the black pine forest, and the steep ice wall was already in front of them. The blue stag was still leading the way. It moved vigorously along the broken ice zone on the edge of the glacier, from a sloping
Jumping from one piece of ice to another piece of sloping ice, you never slip or lose your balance, and are as stable as walking on flat ground.
But this journey seems a bit difficult for the young people of the Knights of the Broken Sword. Even though almost every one of them is a master in the gold field, and there are even some who have the strength to reach the gold level like Brund, there are still people from time to time.
slip.
In view of Freya's meager strength, both Nymesis and Little Pelo took special care of her, but even so, she still fell several times. The first time she fell, her arm was injured, and the second time
She hit her forehead, so that her forehead still looked red, as if she was about to cry at any time, which made her very embarrassed.
Because of this, the team's progress became slower and slower, and everyone seemed a little silent. Not only did this steep glacier cliff look endless, it was also because the forest was getting quieter and quieter. This shows that those white
The demon has begun to pass through the black pine forest behind.
'Crack', Brund casually threw the dry food, which was as frozen as a stone, into the snow and splashed a ball of snowflakes. He saw the ball rolling down the steep terrain and finally falling into an ice crevice.
disappear in the middle. If you fall here, everyone may face the same danger. Under those ice crevices are connected to the bottomless glaciers. If you accidentally lose your footing, you have no hope of climbing alone.
Come up.
Not to mention in places like Breath of Milos, even in the large glacier east of Faenzan, there are countless adventurers who disappear under the glacier every year.
He felt cold and hungry, and his eyelids were as heavy as lead, but unfortunately they had no time to stop and rest, let alone light a fire.
"How long will this deer take us along this glacier? If we continue like this, we will be overtaken by the winter wolf behind us." Alaya couldn't help complaining again: "We spent a lot of time.
It took all my strength to drive them away."
"Shut up and no one will think you are dumb." Brund replied angrily. He didn't know where this guy got all this nonsense: "Wolves will also slow down when crossing glaciers. How can they survive in this kind of terrain?"
That guy is the only one strolling around."
While saying this, he stared closely at the blue shadow in front of him.
But at this moment, someone in the team suddenly shouted: "Look over there!"
Alaya was about to retort, but he couldn't help but turn around when he heard the low cry. Everyone, including him, saw a few white shadows appearing on the edge of the black forest in the distance.
Those were obviously wolves. They apparently spotted the traces of the Cruz people trekking on the edge of the cliff, glanced this way from a distance, then turned around and went back into the forest.
"Oh, what the hell, what else do you have to say now?" Alea turned back to look at Brendan with gloating.
"What's so exciting about this for you?" Even though he said it sarcastically, Brund still slapped his mouth and muttered to himself: "How come it's so fast."
"Haha," Alaya laughed as if he was not afraid of death: "If I can see you deflated, I will have no regrets even if I die."
"You can jump from here if you want to die, Alaya," little Pelo heard the guy's words getting more and more outrageous, and finally said coldly: "No one will hold you back."
Strangely enough, as soon as this short Cruz young man from Vincenton opened his mouth, Alaya immediately stopped talking. He laughed awkwardly: "I'm just saying this. Besides, I really can't walk."
Now, if the commander orders me to stop and break up, I will never refuse and have a good fight with those beasts."
"No need," Freya said, dumbfounded. She really admired little Pelo for being able to discipline such a guy. When she was the captain of the militia, there were also some cunning bastards in the team, but with Ah
Compared to Leia, it pales into comparison.
The Cruz knight in front of her really overturned her impression of the Cruz people.
"It stopped." While everyone was arguing, only Rollo was still staring ahead. At this time, he suddenly saw the beautiful blue creature stopped near an ice wall in front.
It looks towards humans, as if telling them: they have arrived at their destination.
Then everyone noticed this scene. "Go over and take a look." Little Pello said first.
So Alaya and Brender also stopped arguing, and the team continued to move forward. About a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at that place.
But the next moment, everyone was stunned. When they got closer, they discovered that the glacier had sunk inward here, forming a long and narrow canyon.
The mist-filled canyon, like a crack struck by lightning, appeared before the eyes of the Broken Sword Knights...
