In the steep snow-capped mountains, there is a line of inconspicuous footprints, just on the edge of the mountain, in the cliffs. A team of people riding oxen rode along the side of the mountain, crossed the cold ice caves, and stepped on the frozen lakes.
.
The team was led by a woman who was 1.23 meters tall, wearing strange goggles, and with the body of a child. The cold made her cheeks turn as red as apples, but she did not seem to be afraid of the cold. At this time, she was facing the wind, using her
Looking into the distance with firm eyes.
She was the dwarf princess Fuyin who set out from the last dwarf royal city. After obtaining permission from her father and the Great Demon King Wusen, she embarked on a journey to find the World Tree. Of course, this was the superficial purpose.
Beside and behind her were three dwarves, a few Corabbits who had become obese due to moulting in winter, a werewolf bodyguard, and an unknown insect man who could change his form and use his hands to create magic.
The sharp sickle also has wings.
At this moment, Mr. Werewolf sniffed his nose, stretched out his hand and looked ahead, and the team immediately stopped.
"Is there anything going on ahead?"
Fuyin asked immediately.
The werewolf did not answer immediately, but sniffed again to confirm that he was not wrong.
"There are people, and there are many of them."
He was sniffing while talking. Werewolves have a very powerful sense of smell. They can smell the smell of blood twenty miles away. Of course, this is under the best circumstances. The snow will cover up the smell, and the sniffing range is estimated to be only two to three meters.
inside.
"Can you tell their race?"
"No, there is no smell."
"That shouldn't be the Crook tribe."
"Let's take a detour."
Mr. Bray, the werewolf, said that in human minds, werewolves are a very ferocious race. They are eager to kill and will kill everyone they encounter.
However, this is a prejudice. In fact, werewolves are very timid. Wolves live in groups, but most werewolves live alone. They hide in the mountains. They are afraid that their hiding places will be discovered, so once they encounter those who accidentally intrude into their territory,
? And if they find their own people? They will kill them without hesitation.
Because humans will regard them as a threat? Once a human is spared, the result will be a group of soldiers with torches and weapons.
Mr. Bray lives in a certain corner of the Ufa Forest. After the establishment of the Wusen Empire, he, like most residents of the Ufa Forest, took refuge in the Demon King.
Although living alone is very free, it seems pretty good to live alone without having to worry about food and clothing, or so he thought.
"No? I want to go see them. Maybe they are friendly."
said the dwarf princess.
This answer to Werewolf Bree is not surprising at all. She is very curious? More curious than a kitten? Being too curious about the world is a bad thing. Many accidents they encountered were due to the curiosity of this princess.
"It won't work this time. Don't forget the lesson from last time? There's no way that insect and I can deal with an army."
Others also showed uneasy expressions? The dwarf guards looked at each other. During this long journey, too many accidents happened? If it weren't for this werewolf brother, they would have died in the middle of the journey without seeing the world.
"But they may have information about World Tree, and we are not completely incapable of protecting ourselves."
As he spoke, Fuyin patted the weapon on his thigh. Although the weapon looked inconspicuous, the attack magic it fired was very powerful and had a powerful deterrent effect on unidentified enemies. The dwarves all had one. And the werewolf thunder
Because of its claws, it cannot use this weapon.
"My advice will not change, but you are the one who makes the decision, so just do what you say, but if I feel you are in danger, you must follow my instructions and retreat."
"learn!!"
The dwarves cheered.
They like traveling very much, especially Princess Fuyin. She will use a magic recording device to draw pictures of the mountains and rivers she has traveled through, and she will record them every day.
Continuing to walk towards the snow, snowflakes began to slowly fall from the sky. Everyone was wearing hats. They were made by dwarves and allowed the snow to slide off the body without worrying that it would melt on the body and then freeze into ice slag.
A few stars gradually appeared in the dim sky, and suddenly a red light appeared on the white horizon.
"It's fire! A phenomenon of civilization!"
Fuyin said excitedly.
"Maybe it's the demons of fire, who will treat us like burning firewood."
The werewolf said calmly.
"Princess Fuyin, why don't we leave some people here, in case we tell Mr. Bray that it might be easier to escape by putting down the heavy luggage."
The dwarf guard said.
"That makes sense."
The werewolf nodded, seeming to agree with this proposal.
"We can also send people to investigate and put on our invisibility cloak!"
"That's right! If something goes wrong, I mean, it's a trap or something, we can find out in advance and escape immediately."
The dwarf guards came up with many ideas. At this moment, Fuyin suddenly said: "No, we will go there like this."
"But."
"They found us."
She turned around, put down the telescope in her hand and said.
Hearing this, several people behind him were stunned for a moment.
The team advanced slowly. The werewolf hid his fangs and claws as much as possible. The rabbit man stayed behind the team. They were responsible for food and guarding the situation behind them. The taciturn insect bodyguard rarely communicated. I heard from the devil,
This kind of peculiarly changed shape-shifting monster would lose some of its functions, such as language and thinking ability. Others didn't ask much.
Soon, they saw a small lake and a forest beside it, where the fire came from.
There were people here, there were simple buildings in the forest and on the ice lake, and there were many figures moving around. Fuyin immediately took out a magic recorder and recorded the scenery.
"Is it human?"
"There should be no humans here. This is the territory of the Elemental Demon King, although it is essentially a no-man's land."
Fuyin said, she held a telescope and looked at the figures in the distance. They were indeed no different from humans. They had hands and feet and walked upright. The light was not enough for her to see clearly what they looked like.
No man's land is the largest area on land. It generally refers to a place that is not ruled by demons or humans, or an undeveloped territory. In fact, the area where humans and demons live only accounts for ten percent of the total land area.
Less than one.
Fuyin held a stick like a cane with a crystal lamp on it. When the switch was turned on, it glowed with flames. She raised it above her head and shook it towards the other party.
This is the meaning of greeting and showing goodwill. As an adventurer, she learned it from other travelers. If the other party also makes similar actions, it means that they agree to approach. If not, but the other party approaches rashly, then you'd better do it.
A good plan to escape.
"There's a response!"
Fuyin said happily, at this time, there was a little green light swaying on the ice lake in the distance.
