The further north you go, the lower the temperature becomes. The ground is frozen. Lakes, rivers, streams, and waterfalls are all frozen. Only the water under the ice is still barely flowing. Fortunately, there is snow, so you can just grab it when you are thirsty.
Just pick up the snow on the ground and put it into your mouth. When it melts, it will naturally turn into water.
The north wind howled every day and night. He walked through the forest and entered the wilderness. In front of him was a snowy tundra. There were no tall trees, only low and rare moss plants on the surface. Groups of trees in the distance
The mountains have been revealed, endless, as if they are the edge of the world. This is exactly the same as the scene he saw in his dream.
The gloomy sky seems to never be sunny, and the snowflakes remain...
In such a cold climate, even with his extraordinary physique, Rhodes began to feel the cold gradually. The dry food he carried had long been eaten, and he could only rely on the ice spiders he caught a few days ago to satisfy his hunger. This was the first time he had ever eaten.
The most disgusting food ever. The shriveled insect legs were burnt black after being roasted in the fire. The insect meat inside still has a fishy smell and is very bitter. Ice spiders as big as the palm of your hand are the only food in the frozen forest. This kind of looks very disgusting.
Disgusting insects can adapt to extreme climates. They are omnivorous insects. When conditions are good, they can feed on the blood and body fluids of animals. When conditions are bad, they can also eat trees and other fungi.
This may just be a young spider. Rhodes has heard that in the southern jungle, there is a giant spider that is larger than a cow. They feed on living animals, including humans... Fortunately,
The harsh natural environment in the north is not suitable for these terrifying creatures to occupy, so so far, Rhodes has not seen such bloody and terrifying creatures.
But the northern forest also has its own dangers, such as beastmen, skinned wolves, trolls, various chaotic creatures, etc. Fortunately, Rhodes did not encounter such opponents along the way. Otherwise, he would be alone and encounter a group of
Even wild monsters are enough to be killed.
Biting the flesh of the spider legs and drinking the melted snow water, Rhodes moved forward like a practicing monk, which was arduous and dangerous.
However, the scenes in the dream were all realized one by one. Ice forests, snowy mountains, misty canyons... The voice of the spirit bear became more and more obvious. It was like a ghost in the ear, and some strange sounds came from time to time.
Finally, dragging his exhausted body, Rhodes walked into the Troll Mountains. The climate here is extremely cold, and the wind and snow are getting worse. It is destroying your body and soul all the time. The strong north wind blows on your face,
It was like a knife cutting, and at the same time, the cold air made it difficult for Rhodes to breathe. Every time he took a breath, his lungs suffered unspeakable pain. Sometimes, even his heart trembled and hurt.
At the same time, his sleep was getting less and less day by day, and every time he fell asleep, he was always accompanied by many dreams.
Of course, this also strengthened Rhodes' confidence, and all phenomena proved that he was not wrong.
Spirit Bear is waiting for him deep in the snowy mountains...
At night, Rhodes hid under a rock to rest. There were no trees here, and the only shelter from the wind was behind the hard rock exposed on the surface. However, it could not block the wind on all sides like a house inhabited by humans. It only had one side.
It can slightly block the howling north wind.
There was no dry wood to make a fire, so he could only rely on the heat he produced to maintain his body temperature. Rhodes wrapped the manticore cloak tighter. The soft fur could keep warm very well, but compared to the harsh climate here, it was also
It's just a little comfort.
Two weeks later, Rhodes entered the Troll Mountains. This place is like the roof of the world... severe cold is accompanied by strong winds, and storms are raging almost all the time. Hail and blizzards are raging here, and empty and terrifying sounds echo among the mountains.
Suddenly, Rhodes knew that it was the roar of ice trolls and various giant beasts.
Is this where Spirit Bear wants to test himself?
Rhodes didn't know... he just moved forward numbly.
Finally, the first roar of a giant bear appeared in the strong wind. Just as Rhodes turned around, a giant bear twice his size came roaring through the broken snow.
Before he could see the opponent's appearance clearly, the giant white bear slapped himself to the ground with a rough palm. This blow, with terrifying power, knocked Rhode unconscious almost instantly. His eyes instantly turned blood red.
, warm blood spurts out from the body, and you can even feel the loss of energy.
Two seconds later, severe pain was transmitted to the brain. It was heartbreaking pain. It was a hundred times more painful than being attacked by the manticore. This was a real trial...
With almost no chance to resist, Rhodes was dragged by his thigh by the violent white bear and thrown out.
Before he even had time to scream, the bear spirit roared and pounced again. The speed and power were far superior to the manticore, like a bloodthirsty god. Rhodes felt like the world was spinning. If it weren't for this extraordinary physique, a normal person would be hit by this.
Enough to shatter one's body into pieces.
Blood flowed into his eyes, making it almost impossible for Rhodes to open his eyes. The giant white bear quickly rode up, tearing his flesh crazily on his back...
The frenzied trial made Rhodes almost collapse. This was a scene he had never imagined... If this was the will of the Bear God, then what was his intention? To abuse his chosen people? Rhodes didn't know... The flesh on his body
The block was torn off so hard that he didn't even have time to scream. His throat was filled with blood, which quickly solidified into blood clots in the cold air.
His head was pressed into the snow by the claws of the giant bear, and he could hardly breathe. Blood kept pouring out from the ragged wounds. The remaining consciousness was struggling...
We must fight! We must keep fighting! Otherwise, I will die here today!
Rhodes repeated this to himself in his mind. He was in so much pain that he could not speak, and every inch of skin on his body seemed to be torn to pieces. However, relying on the primitive blood in his body, Rhodes roared and pushed the white bear.
turn.
As soon as you pushed the giant bear off its back, blood began to pour out. However, the spirit bear would not give you time to relax. In less than a heartbeat, the snow-white giant bear roared back again.
It stood up, twice as tall as Rhodes, and several times heavier than Rhodes. It cast a giant-like shadow in front of Rhodes.
However, Rhodes, who had aroused bloody rage, could no longer ignore the terror. With the unyielding blood in his body and the extraordinary divine power, Rhodes roared and punched out, fighting the spirit bear with his bare hands.
.
A punch hit the giant bear in the face. The white giant also attacked brutally with its fangs and claws.
The two beasts fought bloody battles in the roaring Northland wind. Blood spattered again and again, and they recovered again and again. Because both Rhodes and Spirit Bear have super recovery capabilities...
Between the sky and the earth, white snow is flying, the wind is howling, and there is a vast expanse. Only two small black spots are left fighting constantly.
The giant bear bit Rhode's wrist with its fangs. Rhodes stretched out his other hand and clenched it into a fist, punching it on the head. After being violently attacked by the Chosen One, the giant bear released its fangs and slashed with bloody claws.
At Rhodes' head, Rhodes dodged the attack, hugged the white bear's head, and beat him violently...
Blood was constantly flowing out of the white bear's eyes and nostrils. Similarly, there was no intact part of Rhode's body.
They fought from the mountain to the bottom, rolling together and falling to the ground, and then getting up at the same time until each other was panting and blood stained their bodies.
