Chapter 856: Returning to Fangshan Mountain

The shortest straight-line distance from the central part of the east coast of Wilnoa, where Midgard City is located, to the Tusk Mountain Range is about three to four hundred miles.

Joan turned into a Hawkman and flew westward in the dark. It took five hours until dawn to reach Fangshan Mountain.

During the flight, Joan consciously looked for the updraft, just like a migrating geese, using the airflow to spread its wings and glide to save energy to the greatest extent.

Flying all the way down like this takes a long time, but it doesn't consume much energy.

Flying all the way, Joan seemed to be chasing the fading night, and the morning light slowly emerged from behind him, covering his wings with a layer of crimson light.

"Mythological Transformation" is superior to "Transfiguration" in many details. These details cannot be distinguished from the appearance, and can only be understood after personal experience.

For example, Qiao An has become a hawk at this moment. If he uses the ordinary 2-level "transformation technique", although his eyesight will be enhanced and he can see farther than the human form, but compared with the real hawk, there are still obvious differences. difference.

However, with the "myth transformation technique", his eyes changed at the cellular level, perfectly simulating the eye structure of the eagle man, and his visual acuity was enhanced by another level compared with the normal transformation state, which was no different from the real eagle man. the difference.

After reaching the sky above the snow-capped mountains, Joan also opened the "fog vision" attached to the prosthetic eye. With a sharp eye like a falcon, he could see through the hazy morning mist and overlook the ups and downs of the Tusk Mountains.

There are few people on the snow-covered mountains all the year round, only Joan's own figure flitting across the endless snowfield.

Joan has checked the surrounding terrain with the "navigation compass" and found that this area is close to the sphere of influence of "Winterhold". If he continues to fly westward, the chances of encountering frost giants and even white dragons will rise sharply.

Joan's trip was only to hunt a snow monster and collect some plasma samples for experiments. He didn't want to conflict with the people of "Winterhold".

So he didn't continue to fly towards the hinterland of the Tusk Mountain Range, turned around and headed south, lowered his altitude, and slowly glided along the towering ridges, searching for traces of the Yeti.

The snow monster's fur is a natural protective color, and it is difficult to find their traces in this snow-covered environment.

Fortunately, Yingman's eyesight is sharp enough, and Joan has experience in dealing with the snow monsters before, and knows that these barbarians are used to settling in valleys sheltered from wind.

During the search, Joan consciously looked for those low-lying valleys and canyons, circled over the valleys for a long time, and carefully scouted for footprints on the snow.

After half an hour of searching, Joan finally found the snow monster in a snow-covered valley when the morning sun had completely jumped out of the horizon.

The snow monster seemed to have just woken up from a deep sleep, yawned, and lazily climbed towards the hillside. It seemed that it wanted to go hunting, but it didn't know that it had become a prey in the eyes of others.

Joan spread his wings and followed the snow monster in a gliding posture. He freed his hands to cast spells continuously, and blessed himself with "protection against evil" and "cold resistance barrier". The former can be immune to the "paralysis" state, and the latter can absorb cold damage, combined for a perfect defense against "Shivering Gaze".

Next, Joan took out a half-foot-long cast iron rod from the spell-casting material bag, held it in his palm, chanted the spell-casting incantation, and at the same time retracted his wings and swooped down.

The strong air flow brought by the eagle wings immediately aroused the snow monster's vigilance, and hurriedly looked up at the sky, his eyes widened blankly, and his dark face was full of surprise.

"Canwa!"

The moment Joan chanted the spell activation spell, he had already flown to a height of less than a hundred feet above the snow monster's head, stretched out his eagle claws, and shot a cyan beam of light from the sharp claw tip, hitting the snow monster's chest.

This unlucky white-haired monster hadn't figured out the situation until now. The moment it was attacked by magic, it trembled all over, and then stood still, as if it had turned into a clay puppet.

Seeing that the "human immobilization technique" had taken effect, Joan put down his guard, retracted his wings, and hovered and landed on the hillside.

The snow monster is a "humanoid creature", and the third-level arcane "Hold Human" is of course effective for it.

Once you get hit, if your will is not firm enough, you will be bound by the magic power that invades your body, and your whole body will become paralyzed. Except for breathing and heartbeat, you can maintain normal. Neither can be completed.

Joan strode towards the immobilized snow monster, seeing the other party's eyes suddenly wide open, separated by a layer of transparent inner eyelids, blue eyes showing panic, he couldn't help laughing secretly.

These snow monsters are used to releasing supernatural rays with their eyes, freezing their prey until their bodies are paralyzed. Have they ever thought that they will fall into the same desperate situation one day, and this is their retribution.

Joan stopped in front of the snow monster, pulled out the "Electric Light Blade" from his waist, and at the same time observed the change in the snow monster's expression with great interest.

This snow monster was about eight and a half feet tall. Because it was on the low side of the hill and its waist was bowed, it looked a head shorter than the seven-foot-tall Yingman.

When his eyes touched the bright dagger in Joan's hand, the panic and confusion in his eyes immediately turned into a desperate pleading.

"I'm really sorry. For the cause of scientific research, I have to ask you to make some sacrifices."

Joan bowed slightly to the snow monster to express his apologies, and then stepped forward, grabbing the back of his neck with his left claw, forcing him to look up and expose his neck, while holding the dagger tightly with his right claw, he stabbed it hard into his throat.

puff!

The sharp blade was almost hilt inserted into the snow monster's thick neck, as precisely as Joan had calculated, and cut off the trachea with one blow.

The pupils of the snow monster's eyes suddenly dilated!

At the last moment of his life, he might think of his mother, brothers and sisters, two lines of tears poured out of his blue eyes, and in a blink of an eye they condensed into ice in the wind.

Joan drew his knife and retreated, staring at the snow monster coldly.

The blood gushing out of the monster's throat wound contained extremely cold magic power. It condensed into crimson frost in just a few seconds after being exposed to the air, sealing the knife mark and preventing the wound from continuing to lose blood.

When the light in the snow monster's eyes completely dimmed, the lifeless body was no longer bound by the "human immobilization technique", and collapsed down the snow slope.

Joan sheathed the knife, walked over and leaned over to examine the body of the snow monster.

The other party's unrepentant demeanor, as well as the crystal clear teardrops condensed in the corners of his eyes, made him feel a little guilty.

However, he is not a sentimental person after all, so he snuffed out the trace of unbearable in a flash, his eyes returned to indifference, and he cast the "shrinking technique" on the snow monster's corpse, shrinking it to the size of a hunting dog.

Joan was about to take off his backpack and stuff the shrunken snow monster body into the bag to take away, when suddenly there was a loud roar in the opposite valley.

In a blink of an eye, a large group of snow monsters broke into his field of vision.
