Act 155 Recovery I.

"I have my own way." Brando replied. Naturally, he would not reveal the secret of the elapsed pointer casually. Now the petrifying fog, which is the only threat to this big bug, has been sealed, and it can't compete with him in terms of strength. The fanatic talent will still last for a while, so there is no problem at all for fifteen minutes. Now he was starting to feel a little lucky that the battlefield was not on the ground. Skills such as Frostbite Shake the Ground and Tumble were completely useless under the ice. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to struggle and just wait to die.

Noticing that Enlek was still a little worried, he added: "Don't worry, I would have killed you long ago. The crimes you committed in Ampelsel are enough to make you die ten thousand times. But since I didn't just Kill you, and I won't deal with you now until I find a way to get your krait ring." This was an open secret between the two, Brando simply mentioned it bluntly, and Enlek listened. He smiled coldly and did not answer, but Brando knew that this guy was obviously unwilling and looking for a way to escape.

With these words, Alek finally felt more at ease. At least Brando no longer had to worry about this guy suddenly having some thoughts of dying together.

The next time was a boring street. Anlek thickened the ice layer over and over again. The ice wall technique almost formed a huge lump of ice in Frostbite's throat. Fortunately, this thing didn't need lungs to breathe. , otherwise he will probably become the first boss to die of suffocation. But even so, Brando's presence still made it feel very uncomfortable. It started to jump up and down for a while, which lasted about ten minutes. It finally calmed down, as if it had exhausted its energy. Anyway, it was motionless, but Brando could still feel the temperature of the thing and knew that it was not dead yet.

As for whether he was pretending to be dead or was really exhausted, he didn't know, but this was at least a good sign, indicating that this thing had temporarily settled down, and as long as there were a few minutes, they could escape according to the original plan.

Brando didn't know where Kou Hua and the others had dug. But within a quarter of an hour, it was enough to dig out several hundred meters. The frost-eating giant insect has no intelligence. As long as it doesn't make a sound, it is unlikely to catch up. Brando can only be grateful that this thing does not rely on smell but hearing to track, otherwise he would probably have run ten miles away with this bloody body. This thing like the ground can also catch up.

But just when he relaxed a little. He suddenly felt that he had restrained the big guy from shaking, and then he raised his head slightly.

"What is this for?" Brando was startled.

He felt that the Frostbite Fang was shrinking back. Was it trying to escape? But his instinct told him that it was not like that. He was wondering, but he didn't expect that after the Frostbite Fang retreated slightly, he suddenly rushed forward. This time, even Enlek in front didn't react. He was knocked directly to the side. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been crushed into a meat pie by this giant beast. Anlek was not crushed into a meat pie, but Brando, who was stuck in the mouthpart, was unlucky. Now Brando finally understood what this thing wanted to do.

It went crazy!

I don't know if there is a toothpick stuck in the mouth, which makes it unbearable.

Or it was because there was a piece of ice stuffed in the throat that made it too uncomfortable. Anyway, after a short period of silence. This boss went completely crazy. It crashed directly into the ice wall in front, smashing huge holes in the wall, and traveled through the underground glaciers like lightning. This was just an instinctive action for Frostbite Fang, but for Brando It was simply miserable for him. The monster took him crashing into ice walls one after another. Even with Brando's physique, he was almost vomiting blood after being hit.

Brando saw stars in his eyes, thinking that this shouldn't be how the script was played. He was determined to start the elapsed pointer, but there was nothing he could do. First of all, he dared not move his hands at all, otherwise he would go to see Lady Martha if the big bug bit him down. But if he didn't move, even he didn't know where he would be taken.

He only felt that he was traveling in the dark underground, but he didn't know how far he had walked. Anyway, his back was numb from the impact. Suddenly, his back was empty, and only the whistling wind was left in his ears. Brando instinctively felt that they should have reached the scope of the underground glacier. He turned around and wanted to look around. It was better not to look, but he almost lost his mind at first glance.

This thing actually took him straight out of a cliff, and outside was an abyss. This abyss looked even more outrageous than the abyss under the Spiral Hall. The darkness below was endless, and it seemed that it could lead directly to Like a river of sulfur.

"Stop!" Brando shouted wildly. At this moment, he finally couldn't care less. He quickly let go of the sword in his hand and reached for the elapsed pointer hanging on his chest.

And at this moment, Frostbite Fang had already let out a howl, and most of its body rushed out of the cliff, like a derailed train, taking Brando into the abyss. It was only then that Brando finally touched the dial, "Start it!" He yelled in his heart, and with a crisp sound, Brando felt like a flowing ripple spreading out in all directions with himself as the center. Then at that moment, the whole world slowed down in his eyes.

He saw that he and the Frostbite Fang were still falling downwards, but the speed of falling was negligible. The big bug seemed to be half hanging in the air, and the big hole it drilled out of the cliff was just a few feet away. outside.

"saved!"

Brando screamed in his heart. He quickly pulled out the Sword of the Earth, crawled out from under the terrifying mouthparts of the Frostbite Fang, and then climbed up along the long body of the thing, trying to get back to the cliff.

But it was at this time that he suddenly felt something was wrong.

As if by some strange mistake, he turned back -

…

Time went back half an hour. At the other end of the dark underground world, the mountain girl blinked her eyes and woke up. She stayed in the darkness for a long time before she remembered what happened before she fell into coma. She quickly struggled to sit up. . Surrounded by darkness, the girl usually acted quiet and strong in front of Brando. But at this moment, he was groping on the ground in a panic, and finally caught a long strip-shaped object wrapped in cloth. She removed the cloth strips wrapped around it three times, and then used her hands to confirm the contents inside in the darkness - it was a halberd - but Akane seemed to have found some rare treasure. He looked like he was breathing a long sigh of relief.

She sat holding the halberd for a while, as if she was a little uncomfortable with the current situation, but her vision finally adapted to the darkness, and she could gradually distinguish the surrounding situation with the faint light coming from the glacier. What he saw was completely different from what Brando saw when he woke up. This place was the bottom of a long underground ice crevice. The widest part can accommodate as many as seven or eight people walking side by side. It looks like a canyon from a distance, but the canyon gradually extends into the darkness until it disappears at the end of the field of vision.

Qian waited for a long time, but no one else appeared before she stood up with some fear and called softly: "Lord..."

"Lord Lord..."

The echo travels along the ice wall. Echoing in the valley like a ghost.

The mountain girl's face turned pale, she pursed her lips tightly, and repeatedly recalled what happened when the hall collapsed in her mind. She watched the little prince and Medisa fall from in front of her, disappearing into the abyss below, and then The entire hall fell apart. She seemed to have fallen down along with the broken long bridge, and then lost consciousness. Now her chest hurts like a puncture, and she must have broken a few ribs. Fortunately, she is a mercenary herself, so this injury will not make her cry. It's just that although she was lucky enough to survive, she didn't know if the lord was safe.

Thinking about this. She was trembling with fear. The mountain girl looked around, hoping to find Brando nearby, but she was afraid of seeing a cold corpse. After searching for a long time with this contradictory mentality, Qian suddenly discovered a pair of feet buried under the ice not far away. This discovery almost made her suffocate, but when she took a closer look, she felt relieved. They were the military boots of a Cruz, and presumably the body of a Cruz noble who was near her at the time.

She took a gentle breath and began to move along the ice and snow that fell from above. She soon discovered that the snowdrifts were strewn with the bodies of noble Cruzes, some of which had been completely broken by the accumulation of ice. The limbs assume a strange posture. But these things couldn't bring any fluctuations in Qian's heart. She sat expressionlessly among these grotesque corpses, and her expression became more and more relieved. Finally, she confirmed that none of them belonged to people she said she was familiar with. She couldn't bear it. He breathed out a sigh of relief.

But then she showed a look of sadness. Where is the lord? Since Brando took her in, she has never been away from Brando. Only this time, it seems that she can't see the tall and generous figure from behind. It felt like I was completely helpless. Qian touched her heart, feeling empty in her heart, but even she herself didn't understand what was going on.

And just as she was walking aimlessly along the ice crevice, a weak moan suddenly came from the broken ice, which startled her; she stopped, listened carefully, and finally determined that the sound came from under the ice. She hesitated. After a moment, she was very sensitive to the sound. The sound definitely did not belong to the lord, nor to anyone she was familiar with. However, the mountain girl thought about it and peeled off the ice, and found that a young man wearing a Cruz uniform was buried underneath.

Qian glanced at the gold thread on the other person's collar and recognized that the young man was still a viscount. She naturally didn't understand this knowledge, but following Antitina and Brando, she became familiar with it and gradually gained some knowledge. . Such a young viscount is probably a descendant of a certain big family, not to mention that those who can accompany Veronica probably have some status and background in the Cruz Empire. The empire is martial, and big families like to send their children to serve in the army to gild the army, and even just Even the royal family is no exception. Brando told her these things as stories.

Thinking of Brando, the girl's eyes warmed up a lot.

The young man was so cold that his face turned purple. If ordinary people were like this, they would have died long ago. However, this group of noble officers who traveled with Veronica at least had the strength to go beyond gold, so they recovered quickly. After a while, a trace of blood gradually appeared on his face. The young man sat for a while before regaining his breath. He opened his eyes. His eyes were as blue as the shallow sea. He was a typical Cruz person. His bloodline was just like Faina's, and he was worthy of being respected in the empire. Envious.

But unfortunately it didn't make any sense to Qian, she glanced at the other party. After thinking about it for a while, she asked, "Can you walk on your own?" Qian seemed to remember that she hadn't spoken such a long sentence for a long time. Even her voice became a little dry. She was not like this when she was in the Gray Wolf Mercenary Group before, but the Macaro incident really hit her too hard.

The young man nodded and replied with some gratitude: "I can't thank you enough for saving my life." He stood up from the ground with a rocking chair. He originally thought that this beautiful lady would come up to help her, but he didn't expect that the mountain The folk girl was really like a puppet, looking at him without any courtesy at all. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But he still introduced himself: "My name is Babaan, and I am -"

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Akane turning around. He finally realized that the other party seemed unwilling to talk to him any more, so he quickly stopped her and said, "Please wait a moment."

Qian then stopped and looked back at him, but her eyes were full of caution. It seemed like words like 'If anything happens, I'll leave if nothing happens'.

Babaan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I am definitely not the only survivor under the ice. Could you please do me a favor, Miss, and rescue them? Or at least help me move the bodies of my colleagues out. I can't let them go. So exposed to the wilderness."

Akane simply shook her head.

Babaan swallowed, feeling that it was too difficult to deal with this lady. But for some reason, he felt that such a mountain girl was more real. He is the scion of a big family and has seen those so-called upper-class ladies, but in fact they are nothing more than that. On the contrary, when he faced Akane. He felt his heart skip several beats. He scratched his hair and thought that he was no longer a young boy. what is it today.

However, this hesitation only lasted for a moment. Babaan paused and immediately replied: "Miss, you are also looking for your companions. Forgive me, what if they are also sealed in the ice like below?" I need your help right now."

Akane was slightly startled when she heard what Baba'an said. She looked hesitant, but finally nodded.

She is not afraid that Brando will be sealed below. Such a thin layer of broken ice cannot seal the lord at all, but she is worried about the little prince. Brando entrusted Haruze to her and Metty The little prince was taken care of by Lisa, and now that the little prince has disappeared, the responsibility lies with her.

So the two started searching along the ice crevice. Within twenty minutes, seven or eight people were rescued one after another, but more of them were corpses. The corpses of the Cruz people were placed in a long row and lined up at the bottom of the valley. At first, Babaan was still in the mood to be courteous to Qian, but later, his expression gradually changed. You must know that most of these people were nobles with noble backgrounds, and they actually died here, and this time The blame cannot be placed on Veronica, because they are the empire's military observation group. To put it bluntly, they are here to supervise Veronica. If the Knights of the Broken Sword are damaged here, they will probably He wanted to gloat, but until Babaan dug out the last Cruz body from under the ice, he looked at the surviving person in charge with a pale face, and the guy was already ashen.

In this pile of corpses, everyone else is fine, but there are two people who are the heirs of the Cecil family, so this problem is a bit big. Everyone knew that the Cecil family and the Ashrico family were sworn enemies in the empire. The two of them had seized on Veronica's incident in the Ring of Trade Winds and came to arrest the female legionnaire. With long braids, I originally thought that this trip would be a pleasant trip - and I guess so, the empire's military observation team never goes to the front line, and usually they will not encounter any danger. Who knew that this time Veronica was determined to enter the Hibernator Temple. Of course, they could have stayed outside, but these two guys were also obsessed and insisted on encouraging others to follow. , I want to see what kind of dirty tricks Veronica has.

Of course, they suspected that Veronica had some collusion with that Tony Geer. This was a tacit secret within the observation team. People like Barbarn were unwilling to get involved in the relationship between the Cecil family and the Ashrico family. There was a struggle between them, but they were not willing to offend the heirs of the two big families. With the acquiescence of the person in charge, everyone followed. The most important thing is that Prince Lenaret did not object, which is equivalent to a tacit approval.

But the problem now is that they don't know if Veronica has any conspiracy, but two heirs of the Cecil family died due to accidents. It would be better if only one died, but now they can't tell in any case.

After thinking about this clearly, everyone, including Babaan, couldn't help but sit down next to the pile of corpses with some dejection, unable to find any solution. If nothing else happens, they will definitely be retaliated by the Cecil family. These big families will not talk sense. Fortunately, Babaan's family is enough to keep him out of this whirlpool, but the rest of the people Not so lucky.

But there is one exception among these people.

That's Akane.

The mountain girl didn't understand the intrigues between these nobles at all. She couldn't say whether she was lucky or unlucky. She knew none of the people who were rescued or dug out, including the little prince, Medissa and Miss Aloz. They all seemed to have disappeared, which made her feel both lost and happy at the same time. The sad thing was that a person didn't know what to do. Fortunately, at least she didn't see their cold corpses.

As for the sighing Cruz nobles, what does that have to do with her? She didn't even look at those people, and walked away with her Azure Spear. She knew that Brando didn't like the Cruz people. , she instinctively stayed away from these arrogant Cruz nobles.

Anyway, the lord must have his reasons.

The mountain girl's mind is very simple.

But she didn't know that as soon as she walked away, she attracted the attention of the Naxingruzi people.

"Who is that little girl?" Someone among the sighing nobles suddenly asked.
