Chapter 755: Frost Lizard

Chapter 281: Frost Lizard

After embracing and kissing, Holden whispered goodbye in Evelyn's ear.

Evelyn listened in silence with a shy face, then nodded solemnly, then turned around and showed a slightly sad smile to Audrey, Joan and Hylar.

"Thank you for taking care of me these days."

"No matter what you think of me, in my heart, you will always be my most precious friends."

"It's time to say goodbye, dear friends, one day in the future, the gods will lead us to meet again."

Sending her farewell wishes, Evelyn kissed Holden back again, then opened any door and merged into the teleportation radiance.

Audrey watched her disappear, then suddenly raised her hand and patted her forehead hard, sighing regretfully.

"Joan, have you noticed..."

"Find what?"

Joan could see that she was in a bad mood, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

"I just did something so stupid that I pretended to be smart!"

Seeing that she was about to pat her head again, Joan quickly grabbed her hand.

"I'm not sure what you're regretting, but hitting yourself in the head certainly doesn't make you any wiser."

Audrey shook off his hand angrily.

"I'd rather slap myself like a fool!"

"Whatever you want, it's all the same to me anyway."

Qiao An saw that her mood had improved, so she stopped persuading her and turned around to walk away.

What does "all the same" mean?

Audrey stared at Joan's back, bit her lips and pondered for a long time, gradually savoring the meaning of his last words, and secretly gritted her teeth angrily, but she was reluctant to pat herself on the head again, lest she really become stupid.

Joan walked up to Holden who was still in a daze, and patted him on the shoulder, but he didn't try to comfort him, everything was kept silent.

Holden forced a smile, pretending to be calm and said: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"Evelyn has left the mine safely, let's go too."

Hailar reminded his companions that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

"The dwarves said that there is a kind of cold monster called frost lizard lurking in the mine. We'd better leave the mine before they find it."

The female swordsman's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, but there was more than one way to leave the mine, and the four of them disagreed on which way to choose.

Holden believes that the path closest to the exit should be chosen, that is, the exit that Evelyn sent out just now.

The advantage of this is that the distance is shorter, the risk of being attacked by monsters is lower, and it is safer.

Audrey suggested to go back the way you came.

Although this road is relatively long, the exit is the closest to the dwarf camp.

"We sent Evelyn away, but it's not over yet."

"Then we must give the dwarves an explanation."

"Trying to resolve the hatred between the dwarves and Evelyn is difficult, but we must try hard."

"Evasion will only exacerbate the conflict between the two sides."

"What's more, the dwarves treated us as honored guests. Wouldn't it be rude if we left without saying goodbye?"

Audrey's words are well-founded.

Joan was inclined to just walk away to save trouble. But after hearing Audrey's analysis, I also felt that it would be impolite to leave without saying goodbye, let alone my old friend Klein Stove.

What's going on if you agreed to help others and just slipped away without saying a word?

Thinking of this, Qiao An made up his mind, turned around and returned the same way.

Audrey smiled and followed quickly.

Holden and Hailar looked at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to catch up.

In this four-person team, Audrey is very assertive, while Joan is very self-willed, doing whatever she wants, and sometimes she doesn't even bother to explain to her companions.

Once the two of them reach a consensus, Holden and Hailaer, who are not tough enough, can only follow suit.

The four of them walked for about 20 minutes in the tunnel covered with thick frost, when a sharp cold current suddenly blew in front of them.

Joan, who was walking at the front, couldn't help but shuddered, and hurriedly stopped.

"Where is the wind coming from? It's so cold!"

Hailar couldn't help chattering his teeth.

As if responding to her doubts, the roar of wild animals came from the depths of the deep ice cave ahead, mixed with the faint sound of fighting.

Everyone suddenly became alert, and their faces became solemn.

Qiao An exhaled a mouthful of frosty white mist, quickly made a spell-casting gesture, spent 1 mythical power, and blessed himself with 2 rings of "cold resistance barrier".

"The cold wind that hit just now is not a naturally generated low-temperature air flow, but more like the aftermath of cold magic or supernatural power."

"If I'm not mistaken, there may be frost lizards in front of us, we'd better be careful."

Joan dug out three bottles of "cold resistance potion" from the storage bag, distributed them to his companions, and signaled them to take them as soon as possible.

No matter how thick the clothes are, they can't stop the magical cold current. If you don't want to be frozen, you'd better take the medicine in advance to get the protection of "cold resistance barrier".

Audrey, Hyrule, and Holden, all aware of the seriousness of the problem, took the medicine from Joan and poured it down their throats.

A stream of warm liquid was swallowed into the abdomen, and the three of them immediately felt the chill disappear, and there was a vague red aura on the surface of the body, which was a sign that the "cold resistance barrier" was taking effect.

The magic potion prepared by Joan has the same anti-cold effect as that of himself. It can completely absorb the explosive cold attack of no more than 7 energy levels, or the continuous cold current erosion of 1 energy level per second.

The cold current spreading from the opposite side did not exceed the resistance limit of the enchantment. Everyone walked quickly against the bitter cold current without feeling the slightest discomfort.

Turning a corner, an empty ice cave appeared in front of him, and the roaring and fighting sounds of wild animals came from here.

Joan was the first to rush into the ice cave!

From a distance, I saw two familiar figures.

One person was lying prone in front of the ice wall, holding a bloody pickaxe tightly in his right hand. His body was frozen to death. It was Scholz.

Klein Huolu held a large shield and a warhammer, guarding Scholz who fell to the ground, spewing out a large cloud of white mist, trying his best to resist the siege of three blue monsters, preventing them from going around behind him, and the damage had already been reduced. A comatose Scholz.

Joan moved his gaze forward to observe the three monsters on the opposite side.

This creature is about six feet long from head to tail. At first glance, it looks like a common monitor lizard in the Underdark. Its body is covered with a hard shell of ice and it drags a long tail. Its belly is milky white and its back is ice blue. , with black stripes, was clearly the "frost lizard" that the dwarves were talking about.

But looking carefully, Joan found that the physiological structure of this kind of cold magical beast was significantly different from that of ordinary reptiles and lizards.

Frost lizards have three pairs of lower limbs. The two hind legs are the thickest. There are suction cups on the broad soles and webbed between the toes. They are very suitable for walking on smooth ice, and they can even crawl freely on ice walls perpendicular to the ground.

The two pairs of limbs in the center and the front of the frost lizard are more slender and nimble than the hind legs, and the toes have sharp claws, which can be used as weapons for hand-to-hand combat.

During the battle, the frost lizard uses its strong hind legs and tail to form a tripod, props up its upper body, releases two pairs of sharp claws to scratch its opponents, sometimes protrudes forward, and bites with its wide mouth full of sharp teeth.

In addition, the frost lizard is centered on itself, and emits supernatural cold air outside the body through the tiny gaps under the scales.

The cold wind that Joan and the others felt just now was the "cold aura" emanating from the frost lizard's body.
