Unreliable craftsmen, unreliable fabrics, and unreliable repairs made this flight a nightmare.
A deflated balloon can float down like a parachute, but underneath the balloon is the military camp of the Lion Kingdom. If it falls in front of the soldiers of the Lion Kingdom, it will perfectly explain what it means to fall from the sky.
You can't fall, you can't fall here life or death.
Reggie brought a total of 500 pounds of charcoal from Golden Light City. It took him two hours to burn all the charcoal. With Natalie's help, the balloon finally flew near the Lost Mountain.
After losing its fuel, the deflated balloon quickly landed. Everyone was still looking forward to a way to repair the balloon, but Reggie made a decisive decision.
Abandon the balloon and cross the Lost Mountain immediately.
"Crossing the Mountain of the Lost?" Salah looked at Reggie dumbfounded, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. Without charcoal, my witchcraft has disappeared." Reggie took out the food and weapons in the hanging basket. In order to prevent the technology from leaking, he burned the balloon and buried the charcoal stove in the accumulation.
Under the snow.
"We can't go to the Mountain of the Lost," Salah shook his head desperately. "This is simply a way to die. At least we have to wait until dawn tomorrow!"
"We can't wait until daybreak," Reggie looked at the hoof marks on the snow, "There are sentries from the Kingdom of Ryan nearby. You have experienced countless battles, you should know what this means."
Salah gave up the argument. Reggie was right. The sentries had fixed patrol routes and they would appear again soon.
With helplessness and fear, a group of four people went up the Lost Mountain. The fog in the mountain quickly obscured everyone's sight. With visibility less than ten meters, they got lost in the mountain.
Reggie held the compass and trudged through the waist-deep snow.
"Don't worry, if we walk in one direction, we will definitely reach the ridge, and then we will find the way down the mountain."
"I really can't think of a stupider idea than this." The snow was almost reaching Sophia's chest. "Do you know how high the Lost Mountain is? We will be buried here by the heavy snow."
"Set up camp!" Salah looked around, "Find a suitable place and wait until tomorrow morning to set off!"
Reggie said: "Are you sure there is a suitable place in the Lost Mountain?"
Salah said: "You knew this would happen, why did you bring us to the mountain?"
Reggie said: "I said, we have no choice!"
Sophia said: "Didn't you say that the mountain demon is your friend?"
"Do you want me to invite the mountain monster?" Reggie stopped and gasped, "You are right, we can only rely on them. It would be great if Doranor was here."
Reggie wanted to ask the troll for help. Natalie knew that Reggie didn't want to provoke the troll. She grabbed Reggie's arm and whispered: "Sir, I can blow away the snow, let me try."
There is snow all over the mountains and plains. Even if it is a tornado, how much can it be blown away?
"Save your strength, there may be a battle later." Reggie stuck the torch in the snow, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "Modos La Catana, Chi Chi Roy Siwaka!
"
This is the language of the mountain demon that Reggie learned from Tortosa, which means: "My friend, I need your help." When Tortosa first came to Shattered Snow City, he had to talk to him almost every night.
Reggie had a private conversation, mainly teaching Reggie to learn the language of the mountain demon.
After shouting for more than ten minutes, Reggie ran out of energy. Salah took out his sword and began to clear the surrounding snow.
Reggie shook his head and said: "It's useless, the snow is too deep."
"I only need to clear a small clearing for Her Majesty the Queen," Salah said confidently. He knew how to survive in the snowfield. "As long as there is a small clearing and a fire, Her Majesty the Queen can survive."
"
Natalie agreed with Salah: "If you clear a small area of open space, the lord can get through it."
Three people shoveled the snow, and one asked for help. After an hour, all three except Natalie gave up.
Sophia and Salah condemned Reggie together. In their opinion, the balloon's leaking was not a problem. As long as Reggie didn't hesitate to use his mana, he could always fly back to Hanmaple Fortress.
Reggie had nothing to say. After shouting for a whole hour, he was speechless. He took a bite of snow to try to relieve the severe pain in his throat, but saw Sophia pull out the dagger and said: "Something is coming.
.”
Who is coming? Is it a mountain demon?
Reggie asked Natalie to stop casting spells and prepare for battle.
There was a strange friction sound in the distance, as if someone was sliding towards here on a sled.
Ta! Hiss! Ta! Hiss!
Take a step and slide. What is this operation?
Besides, are there sleds in this era?
Everyone held torches and nervously searched for the source of the sound, but the five-meter visibility made all searches in vain.
Reggie said to Natalie: "Try to create a strong wind to blow away some of the fog."
Sophia said: "It's useless, no wind can blow away the thick fog of the Lost Mountain."
Reggie said: "You can at least give it a try."
Sophia said: "This is simply a waste of effort!"
Natalie ignored Sophia. She tried her best to create a strong wind, but only dispersed the thick fog a little.
However, this little effect allowed everyone to see each other. About ten meters away from them, a strange creature lay quietly on the snow.
When she saw this creature, Sophia almost screamed, and even Salah, who was accustomed to seeing bloodshed, opened his mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
They had never seen such a terrifying monster, but Reggie had seen it. It had stubby limbs, flat facial features, and a torso of even thickness. This was exactly the mat that Reggie saw when he first climbed the Mountain of the Lost.
monster.
"Hello, hello, do you still recognize me? I recognize you! I am Laduca's friend. Do you know Laduca, right? He is very powerful!"
The mat monster opened its extremely terrifying mouth and stuck out its three suffocating tongues in front of Reggie.
The scene instantly got out of control. Natalie screamed, Sophia pulled out the dagger, Salah took out the long sword, and Reggie was trying to find a suitable weapon, preferably a shield. He was very afraid of this.
The monster's acidic bodily fluids.
"Your Majesty," Salah trembled, "we should chop this monster's neck first."
"Good idea, but where is its neck?"
"Lord," Natalie said, "it's too heavy, I can't blow it too far."
"Don't worry, stand behind me first!" Reggie simply took out the grenade and held the torch ready to light the fuse at any time.
A fierce battle was about to break out, but the monster suddenly retracted its tongue, closed its mouth, and even its eyes became much gentler.
This scene seemed familiar. Reggie looked around and shouted: "Laduka, Adayataka (is that you)?"
Laduca stood up from the monster's back and laughed loudly: "Regituritu, Sahibulida (long time no see)!"
