Chapter 341: The Road to the Snow Peak (I)
It has to be said that after the elves lead the way, the next journey is much easier for Fangzheng and others.
The most important point is that they have new means of transportation.
Because of the overcrowding and the resolute refusal of everyone except the astrologer's sister to take the Founder's planetary landing vehicle, these elves found a new mount for them, that is——goat!
Different from the goats raised in the ranch, these goats grown in the forest of life are taller than ordinary war horses, and they are quite docile. Under the guidance of the elves, these goats can easily carry people in the mountain stream. This also saves Fangzheng and others from the trouble of climbing the mountain.
"As long as we continue to walk along this road, in another half a day, we can reach the mouth of the ice and snow peak, from where we need to go through the cave, and then deal with those dwarves, as long as we can win the consent of the dwarves, wear Pass through the Ice and Snow Gate, and you will be able to reach the top of the Ice and Snow Mountain."
Walking beside the crowd, Jasmine explained to the crowd with a smile on her face. At this moment, she could no longer see the look of despair and pain back then. On the contrary, it is full of vitality unique to elves, and looks more cheerful.
"I didn't expect that, Mr. Fang Zheng, you are really amazing..."
Looking at the elf girl running around in front of her, Fina couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then she looked at Fangzheng curiously.
"Mr. Fangzheng, how did you do it? I have seen some victims rescued from the lairs of goblins and orcs. They couldn't even respond at all, so that those poor girls ended up dying." You can only go to the monastery, where you can calm your heart by serving the gods, and some people will never leave there for life, but you have restored them to normal in such a short period of time..."
"Uh... well, I have my own way..."
Hearing Fei Na's question, Fang Zheng couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He couldn't say that he was "fighting poison with fire". To be honest, Fangzheng has regretted it a little now. Because from the eyes of this elf girl, he could feel a very familiar look. That was the look in her eyes when she first fell in love with my girlfriend before I was reborn... For Jasmine, the previous experience with him was too wonderful, but now it seems like an addiction?
"Excuse me, what is the method? If it can be promoted in the temple, I think it should be able to save more people..."
"No, this..."
Faced with Fina's aggressive questioning, Fangzheng didn't know what to say for a while. But fortunately, perhaps the goddess was protecting him in the dark. At this moment, the goat that was advancing suddenly stopped, and Jasmine also quickly stopped, lowered her body, and carefully stared at the ground.
"What's the matter? Is something wrong?"
Aware of the situation ahead, Fang Zheng hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his heart, then he jumped off the goat, walked to Jasmine's side and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Mr. Fangzheng."
Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Jasmine nodded, and then she stretched out her hand, pointing forward——there was another pair of huge footprints going up the hillside, disappearing among the complicated rubble.
"That is………"
"That's the footprint of a frost giant, but it's really strange. Generally speaking, frost giants rarely come to such a far place."
"Didn't it mean that the frost giants also inhabit the top of the ice and snow?"
At this time, several other people also came to Jasmine's side. Hearing what this elf girl said, Helian asked curiously.
"Then it's not too surprising that they will appear here."
"It's different."
Facing Helian's question, Jasmine shook her head.
"The reason why frost giants are called frost giants is because they prefer cold places. The climate here is quite comfortable for us elves and humans, but it is already quite hot for frost giants. Not to mention, The entrance and exit passages here are all controlled by dwarves, and if the general frost giants descend the mountain rashly, they will be cut off by those bearded people. Although the frost giants have no brains, they will not seek their own death."
"Could it be that he broke away from the ethnic group and came out alone?"
"It can't be said that there is no such possibility..."
Hearing what Fina and Jasmine said, Fangzheng raised his head and glanced at Nimf beside him, who shook his head.
"Nothing found around, master."
"I see."
After getting the answer from Nimfu, Fangzheng nodded, and then he looked at the others.
"Okay, although I don't know how this footprint came about, it looks like we have to be more careful next time, and everyone should strengthen their defenses to avoid accidents. Miss Jasmine and Miss Katie, you don't need to continue to be avant-garde , come back to us and be ready for battle at any time, as for the investigation, just leave it to Nymph."
"Okay, Mr. Fangzheng."
"clear."
After getting Fang Zheng's order, the elf girl nodded, then took out the longbow from behind, and looked around vigilantly. And beside her, Katie's voice came from the originally empty air, and then Fang Zheng could feel Katie's aura passing by the crowd silently like a ghost—it seems that in the elf village In the past few days, Katie's stealth skills have also improved a lot.
but………
"Frost giants... Goblins..."
While muttering to himself, Fangzheng seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the elf girl beside him again.
"Jasmine, it's usually like this here... Are monsters running around all over the place?"
"This...is not like this, Mr. Fangzheng."
Jasmine was not stupid, she immediately understood the meaning hidden in Fangzheng's words. Recalling the experience that day, the expression on the elf girl's face also became a little stiff, but it quickly returned to normal.
"On weekdays, the Forest of Life is still very peaceful, but it's really strange... the animals that used to live here seem to have disappeared along the way... Although it's time for them to come out of their nests to look for food, But...it’s not like there’s no movement at all.”
Although it was a bit strange, everyone continued to move forward vigilantly, but as they moved forward, the situation became more and more unexpected. Because on the next mountain road, they saw not only the footprints of frost giants, but also the footprints of goblins, goblins, and jackals—it can be said that almost all the monster groups with names in this mountain area are considered to be monsters. All out.
"Here, what's going on here?"
At this moment, Jasmine also felt that something was not right. It was like a riot by all the monsters in the Ice Peak Mountain Range. Could it be that they planned to form six factions to besiege the Bright Peak?
"No, nothing will happen to those bearded men!"
Although the relationship between elves and dwarves is not very good, these two races are more like "evil friends". Bickering and quarrels are common on weekdays, but if faced with an evil attack, there will still be some tension between the two races. contact. Logically speaking, if the dwarves were attacked by so many monsters, they would at least give some signals to the elves!
But why is there no response at all?
"We must go to the Boulder Tunnel immediately! There may be something wrong there!"
Under Jasmine's leadership, everyone also quickened their pace and continued to run forward along the mountain road. But the further he advanced, the worse Fangzheng felt, because Nimf responded to him that there were no signs of life around him, which meant... the situation was obviously not normal.
Sure enough, as Fangzheng expected, when they came to the boulder tunnel led by Jasmine, the scene before them surprised everyone.
