The three rekindled black stones burned the flattened stone slab on the top. On the stone slab was placed thinly sliced bear paw meat. The flesh and blood of strange creatures emitted cyan grease under the high temperature, dripping down the stone slab onto the flames.
, the air seemed to be filled with the "fragrance of snow".
Being in this smell that they had never smelled before seemed to give the three of them an ethereal state of mind. Quinn swallowed.
"It should be edible, right?"
It was unheard of that a frost spirit of such size could be hunted down so easily, let alone that it could create a scorching flame at such a high altitude.
Being able to sit in a warm cave in such a snowstorm and enjoy this kind of meat that even the nobles could not eat, I have to say - she already had the illusion that her trip was worthwhile.
"How about you try it first?" As the chef, Chai Anping was also a little unsure. After all, he had never cooked such high-end cuisine.
"Sprinkle some cumin for me." Quinn pointed to the small jar next to him.
Chai Anping did as she was told, and the aroma in the cave suddenly became stronger. Chai Anping handed her a pair of ice chopsticks made simply from ice crystals.
"Then I'm welcome!"
The meat pieces that seemed to be "melting" at the edges disappeared into Quinn's small mouth. Her eyes widened instantly. She just let out a whimper and fell back with satisfaction, leaving Chai Anping and Partridge to stand upright.
Thumbs up.
"...It looks like it's ready to eat." Chai Anping twitched the corners of his lips and handed Partridge a pair of chopsticks he made.
A huge bear paw meat was enough to satisfy the three of them. In addition to the precious alchemy materials stolen from Omen, Chai Anping also extracted a lot of blood essence from the heart of the Frost Spirit, along with the storage
Everything in the two compartments is packed into the backpack to avoid occupying compartments with scarce storage space.
That [Elemental Spirit] is a small irregular ice crystal. Holding it, you can feel the amazing spirituality, or soul, possessed by this Frost Spirit.
This is a very precious alchemy material, usually only used in alchemy recipes of level seven or above!
Can you get such a priceless treasure by killing ten rare Frost Spirits?
Chai Anping was noncommittal, and this time he paid the price of [Jackdaw] to re-enter the charging state, solved a crisis, and brought himself a lot of rewards, and he was absolutely guaranteed to make money.
According to Quinn, the corpse of a frost spirit is extremely difficult to preserve. Even if it is in the ice and snow, it will decay and dissipate within two days, turning into cold air and returning to the world.
This mechanism of birth of spiritual creatures that does not rely on the reproduction method of flesh and blood creatures has always been a subject of diligent research by scholars.
After throwing away his chopsticks with satisfaction, something unknown happened to Quinn's eyes when he looked at Chai Anping.
Chai Anping pouted, intuiting that she must not have anything good in mind...
"call--"
Quinn got up and went to the cave entrance to check the weather: "Get ready to continue setting off."
"The wind and snow have stopped?" Chai Anping asked in surprise.
"No, it's just a little smaller." Quinn sat back by the fire: "Although the environment is difficult, the time is tight and we have to suffer a little more."
"All right."
Chai Anping wiped away the alchemical matrix and put away the half-burned black stone.
"Alchemy is really useful at times like this." Quinn said with emotion as he put on his cloak.
"It's just some small tricks." Chai Anping said with a smile: "It's not alchemy at all. If the captain is interested, I can teach you when I return to the capital."
"Well..." Quinn snorted and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Black stone can be said to be "high quality and low price" when used in alchemy, but with so many people in the military, it would be weird if it could be popularized...
The three of them continued on the road in the light of the wind and snow. The blue-winged giant eagle, which had had a feast, also fluttered its wings and flew high. It was full of energy and wanted to challenge the wind and snow in Irwindale.
Then the boring time began, the white snow was endless, the mountains in the north were all covered with white armor, and a chilling and cold mood arose spontaneously.
The Evendale Mountains start from the west coast of the continent and wrap the entire Freljord Icefield on the other side of the mountains. The huge mountain can be said to be Demacia's natural city wall.
The East Peak is the highest part of the Owendale Mountains. When they climbed over the exposed black ridge, they could vaguely see a flat, white ice field under the foothills in the distance.
"The Laxtaq Basin in the northwest is also an ice field now, but in spring and summer, when the ice and snow melt, the fir forests standing on the field will sprout new buds, and the fragrance will be everywhere."
Quinn told the two of his experiences in the North: "There is a temple carved from a huge rock mass. The huge statue of Avarosa is enshrined in the center, and the whole body exudes the light of perfect ice.
The fir trees looked like patches of grass under her feet, and the covenants signed by countless tribes and the Avarosa tribe were engraved under the boulders. Every year, the Avarosa tribe made a pilgrimage there to conclude an alliance under the witness of the gods.
It is rumored that their new war mother Ashe made a blood pact with Tryndamere there and got married. However... I heard that their life as a couple was not very good after marriage. I wonder how they have been in the past two years, ha!"
Quinn's style has always been easy to go off track, but listening to the scene of Freljord she described, Chai Anping actually had a real feeling, and it seemed that the impact of this difficult environment on him had been weakened a lot.
They climbed almost four or five mountains throughout the day. With Valor's help, they checked quickly and steadily. Quinn himself was also a keen observer. If the Noxian army really left any traces,
There must be no hiding from her eyes.
In the evening, the snow finally stopped. Valor flew back to Quinn tiredly, cried twice and announced that he needed to rest.
To some extent, the snowy mountains at night were more dangerous than the jungle. Quinn announced that today's search was over, and then shifted his focus to finding a place to spend the night.
Chai Anping had seen Bei Ye's wilderness survival in his previous life, and knew that extreme terrains such as deserts and snowy mountains were often more dangerous and deadly. It was not easy to find a suitable place to take shelter in such a cold place.
A cave like the one at noon is not something you are lucky enough to encounter every time.
And even the holy place to escape the cold at noon is just a hunting ground for the frost spirit.
Quinn squinted his eyes as he recalled the map, and soon came to a decision.
"follow me!"
She turned around and rushed in a certain direction.
Half an hour later, with the afterglow of the sun, Chai Anping saw - in a windless pass, a small ice-brick watchtower stood quietly, reflecting the sunlight and turning into a golden color.
.
"Great, it hasn't collapsed yet."
Quinn happily rushed over to check the stability of the watchtower, and explained to the two of them: "This is a house built by the scout team that used to be stationed here for a long time. If it is safe, then we can have a good sleep at night!"
