Chapter 344: The Road to the Snow Peak (IV)
Perhaps it was because the rumor of the dragon made the girls even more excited. In the end, Fang Zheng had no choice but to take them to continue the action.
Of course, before that, Fangzheng did not forget to ask Jasmine to notify the elf village at the foot of the mountain to take precautions. After all, the defense of elves is not as good as that of dwarves. Even dwarves are instantly defeated. It would only be worse if they were replaced by elves.
From now on, Fangzheng's choice is still—cowardly!
Although the task said that he had to investigate the Ice and Snow Peak by himself, he didn't say that he was required to go alone. In other words, if something really happened to the Ice and Snow Peak, it was the dwarf who was unlucky and not himself. Taking another 10,000 steps back, even if there is some demon king on the top of the ice and snow who wants to destroy the world, and the temple and the goddess of order will support the sky when the sky falls, why would he rush up to die by himself?
Therefore, adhering to the principle of "never do anything unless you take the victim on the road together", Fangzheng's decision is... contact those dwarves first, and then act according to the situation.
Fangzheng will not be like the brave men in many stories. When he finds that the situation is wrong, he will go to the waves first, and then go to the relevant parties. His attitude has always been that it's okay to do good deeds by himself, and it's okay to do good deeds without leaving a name, but he must get the consent and recognition of the victim. If there is no request or approval from the other party, then he will not do it. This is the case in the dark swamp, and Fang Zheng's attitude will not change when he reaches the peak of ice and snow.
He would first ask the dwarf if he needed help, and if the dwarf said no, then Fang Zheng took the girls to complete the task and then turned around and left. And if the dwarves needed their assistance, then Fang Zheng didn't mind staying to help them solve this strange trouble.
After all, if the other person doesn't want to help themselves, why bother to make trouble for yourself?
I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but just when everyone was preparing everything and planning to move on, suddenly, a roar like thunder suddenly sounded.
"Which damned bastard actually broke through our city gate and killed our compatriots, I'm going to smash you into meat paste and feed the frost giant's dogs!!"
Hearing the angry roar, Fangzheng raised his head, and saw several armored dwarves galloping towards this side riding underground lizards. They were furious, brandishing the axes in their hands angrily, and rushed towards Fangzheng and the others. Then I saw the leader dwarf suddenly waved his hand, and the next moment the other dwarves uniformly controlled their mounts and blocked their way.
"By the rocks, you bloody bastards, I'm going to shove you all up the lizard's ass and..."
"Wait, what are you talking about with a beard!"
Before the leader of the dwarves finished speaking, Jasmine jumped up first.
"Move your brain like a rock, look at us, do we look like the ones who destroyed this place?"
"What? It's long ears."
Glancing at Jasmine who jumped out, the dwarf in the lead muttered something, and then he looked at Fangzheng and the other girls seriously. Perhaps he also felt that this combination really didn't look like a threat, so he put down the dwarf in his hand. ax.
"What's going on? Why didn't you bring these humans here in the woods?"
"What's the matter if I come? Ice and Snow Peak belongs to your family? Will it agree if you call it?"
It seems that the relationship between dwarves and elves is really not good.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Fangzheng couldn't help feeling emotional. In his opinion, Jasmine was a relatively docile and introverted elf girl, but when she met dwarves, she quarreled like little tigers. It seems that the two races The "evil relationship" between them is really far-reaching...
But of course Fangzheng will not let these two continue to quarrel, after all, this is not the time to discuss the racial dispute between elves and dwarves. So Fangzheng quickly intervened between the two of them, planning their meaningless conversation.
"The thing is like this, we are a team from the Alliance of Order. A few days ago, we came to the Forest of Life..."
Standing in front of the dwarves, Fang Zheng quickly told what had happened during this period of time, and after listening to Fang Zheng's narration, the angry expressions of the dwarves gradually began to change.
"That is to say... Those long ears also encountered the same trouble as us?"
"Yes, at that time we only thought that this was likely to be an action against the elves, but now it seems that things are not so simple..."
"Hmm... If that's the case, it's really strange..."
Hearing this, the dwarf also became contemplative, but soon, he seemed to give up thinking.
"Forget it, I'll talk about this kind of thing later, let me send someone to collect the corpses of my compatriots first."
"I said bearded."
Looking at the dwarf, Jasmine also asked curiously at this moment.
"You guys came from Jinshi City, didn't you meet any monsters along the way? We just saw a lot of monster footprints heading towards the ice and snow peak."
"No, we didn't even see a single mouse on this road!"
"Then they must have gone to the mountain on the top of the ice and snow."
After hearing the dwarf's answer, Jasmine immediately looked at Fangzheng.
"There are only two roads to the top of the ice and snow. One leads to the dwarf city, and the other leads directly to the top of the mountain. If those monsters didn't go to Jinshi City, then they must have gone to the top of the mountain!"
"Are you planning to go to the top of the mountain?"
The dwarf originally planned to turn around and leave, but after hearing this sentence, he came closer again. He glanced at Jasmine, and then at Fangzheng.
"Humans, you said that you plan to find the mastermind behind these tragedies?"
"more or less."
Faced with the dwarf's question, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders. What can he do? This is a system task, can I not do it myself? Unless he wants a random skill -1 - which of course is impossible.
"I'll go with you too!"
After listening to Fang Zheng's answer, the dwarf reached out and tapped the armor on his chest, and then he glanced proudly at the magic power.
"If you want to climb trees in the woods, those with long ears are good at it. But if you want to advance in caves, that's our dwarves' ability! Since you are going to find the murderers who killed our compatriots, then I will also Go with you, if those bastards really go to the top of the ice and snow mountain, I can take you a shortcut, definitely faster than those long ears leading the way!"
"you---!"
Hearing the dwarf's words, Jasmine clenched her longbow angrily, stared at the dwarf with puffed up cheeks dissatisfied, and looked at her, as if she was planning to make a hole in the dwarf's rock-hard head. However, as the dwarves said, the things in the forest are left to the elves, and the dwarves are more suitable for underground caves.
And that dwarf's character is also very hot-tempered. After making a suggestion, Fangzheng didn't wait for anyone to answer, and he made a decision on his own. He grabbed the dwarf soldier beside him, and then began to order loudly.
"Hey, you stay here, you, go back to Jinshi City, report the things here to the dwarf king, let him send people to rotate the garrison, we must not let the gang of frost giant bastards take advantage of the fire! I will go and see, what happened? What dares to attack us dwarves, my battle ax will definitely not spare it!"
This dwarf seemed to be a very high-ranking officer as well. He quickly gave the order, and then waved at Fangzheng and the others.
"Okay, humans, long ears, let's go! Come with me, I know there is a shortcut near here!"
After saying this, the dwarf drove the subterranean lizard to run quickly along the way it came from. Seeing this scene, Fang Zheng looked at everyone helplessly.
What else can I do? I have no choice but to follow up?
