Chapter 867 [0864] On the Glacier

It was easy to say, but after Lux successfully dragged the sled and Yukal to the glacier, she still lay on the sled for most of the day before she recovered.

This was too strenuous.

Lux rested, and Ashe continued to work - put the saddle on Yukal again, confirmed the north direction, and cracked the whip.

The sled left two long traces on the floating snow, and Yukal shook his head and pulled the sled forward.

There was almost no night on the Great Glacier in the Far North.

And the trajectory of the sun was quite abnormal, and Lux ​​and Ashe's judgment of time even gradually became problematic - in such a place, even the mechanical pocket watch in Lux's arms could no longer operate normally, and coupled with the almost disappearance of the rotation of the sun and the moon, the two seemed to be in a chaos.

What's more troublesome is that compared to the Freljord continent, there are no animals or plants on the Great Glacier. Although there are still some supplies on their sleds and drinking water can be solved by melting ice and snow, the grass in Yukal was quickly eaten up. If they continue, they will not be able to hold on sooner or later.

Lux is lucky. She has the experience of climbing Mount Targon and can fast for a long time.

But Ashe's body showed obvious weakness three days after climbing the Great Glacier.

"So, how can we find Anivia?" Seeing that Ashe's condition was getting worse and worse, Lux was quite helpless, "You always said that you could find Anivia on the Great Glacier. Now we are here, where is Anivia?"

"To the north." Ashe didn't look very energetic, but in the face of Lux's question, her attitude was unexpectedly firm, "The wind is still blowing, and Anivia knows where there is cold wind."

Ashe's words made Lux frown. She wanted to say that this was pure superstition, but under this circumstance, she could only treat a dead horse as a living horse. After identifying the north, she continued to drive Yukal, who was almost unable to walk and seriously losing weight, to move forward.

On the fourth day on the Great Glacier, when the sun and the moon were in the sky, Lux, who was driving Yukal forward, finally saw some shadowy figures on this endless plain.

From a distance, it seemed to be... a large group of Ernyuk?

Are there still wild Ernyuk on the Great Glacier?

Although she was a little confused, Lux quickly changed direction and headed towards the Ernyuks.

However, when she got closer and closer to the Ernyuks and picked up the Hex telescope, the scene that appeared in the antifreeze lens made her breath stagnate.

It was indeed a group of giant beasts.

But after getting a little closer and having a reference, Lux realized that these giant beasts were much larger than the Ernyuks!

Unlike the Ernyuks with big heads and thick necks, these huge beasts have slender necks like giraffes. When they walk, these necks seem to be moving pillars supporting the sky and the earth, which makes people feel amazing at a glance.

Of course, the above parity is based on the body shape of these giant beasts.

If you look closely at their body surface, the amazing will become breathtaking.

Their bodies seemed to be twisted by some strange substance, which was different from any species known to people. Outside of this strange substance, it was covered with thick ice. The layers of ice were like a layer of armor and a seal, tightly wrapping every inch of these behemoths, even the elephant-like hooves.

Lux adjusted the focus of the Hex telescope and carefully confirmed this point - there was also a thick layer of ice under their feet, and it even looked no different from the True Ice.

When Lux put down the Hex telescope, an indescribable palpitation made her feel very uncomfortable. It seemed that just looking at these behemoths was enough to make her heart tremble.

Even when facing the Titan, Lux had never had this feeling.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

I have never heard of any wandering creatures on the Great Glacier...

Could it be that these behemoths are actually the followers of Anivia - just like the bear people to Volibear?

But if Anivia has followers, they should be a group of phoenixes, right?

Even if they are not phoenixes, they should at least be a group of birds!

Is this guy who seems to have almost nothing to do with Anivia except for the ice on his body really Anivia's follower?

Lux, who was a little confused, turned to look at Ashe.

"There are some strange creatures ahead." She handed the Hex telescope in her hand to Ashe, "Come and take a look, what are they?"

Hearing this, Ashe turned over from the sled, took the Hex telescope, and looked in the direction where Lux found the abnormality.

Then, she frowned immediately.

"I haven't seen them." Ashe shook her head with a serious expression, "But I always feel that they are probably not good things."

"If you think so, then I feel relieved." Lux took back the Hex telescope and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I was afraid that they were Anivia's followers before."

"No, rather than saying that they are Anivia's followers, in my opinion, they are probably closer to our trial target."

"Trial...goal?" Hearing Ashe's words, Lux was slightly stunned. "You mean, what we have to do next is to defeat them. Only by defeating them can we see Anivia?"

"Very likely."

"Shouldn't this be a trial of wisdom?"

"The wisdom of fighting is also wisdom."

For Ashe's explanation, Lux could only shrug and had nothing to say - along the way, she also realized that in Freljord, wisdom is a rather broad term.

Here, existence is wisdom, development is wisdom, and even combat skills are a kind of wisdom.

If the Freljord people didn't seem to really think so, Lux couldn't help but wonder if Anivia had mastered some kind of deception skill, allowing the Freljord people to attribute everything to wisdom.

In this case, "battle wisdom is also wisdom" sounds quite fresh.

And almost at this time, these big guys finally turned around and took the initiative to meet the direction of Lux and Ashe.

"These guys have good eyesight. They can spot us from such a distance." After taking back the Hex telescope and starting to observe again, Lux began to warm up and try to be more active. At the same time, she whispered to Ashe, "Help me keep an eye on them."

Lux can spot them from farther away because these behemoths are huge - but on the other hand, they can easily spot Lux and Ashe, which only shows that they are sharp.

Seeing that Lux wanted her to play support again, Ashe actually wanted to say that she would join in.

But after seeing Lux take action before, she still had a relatively clear understanding of the gap between herself and Lux.

Now Lux has shown extreme caution, which is very telling.

So she nodded.

"I'll go around to the flank and look for an opportunity."

"You look weak. If this is really a trial, maybe you can eat something first..." Looking at Ashe who was packing up her bow and arrows, Lux frowned slightly, "Although it seems to have discovered us, it should be in time to fill its stomach a little."

"No, this is exactly the trial I was looking forward to." Although her face was a little pale, Ashe looked quite excited, and even had a hint of expectation, "I can feel that my bow is cheering!"

……………………

A mile away from these behemoths, Yukal stopped his steps. No matter how Lux and Ashe urged him, his four legs were still rooted in the glacier and did not move forward a step.

Even when those behemoths turned and came towards Lux and Ashe, this Yukal even wailed and retreated, almost overturning the sled.

This was obviously very abnormal, because Yukal had already fully recognized Lux's identity as the "leader". At this time, even if it was ordered to die, it would not hesitate at all.

But now, it became hesitant and even retreated repeatedly, which was simply against its biological instinct!

Lux, who was originally very cautious, had to give up the sled after seeing this situation, and also supplemented a series of defensive magic for herself and Ashe - being on the big glacier, it is better to be cautious when encountering such strange creatures!

Facts have proved that these defensive spells can be said to have saved her and Ashe's lives.

When the two approached these giants and Ashe pulled the True Ice Longbow carefully on guard, these behemoths also discovered them, and then a wave of invisible waves spread from the air. Lux and Ashe didn't even react, and a burst of colorful light appeared on their bodies.

All the defensive spells that Lux had arranged in advance were invalid!

You know, the defensive spells that Lux arranged were not ordinary ones. Under the guidance of Kalya, her defense system could be said to be very complete and could cope with almost any complex occasion.

But now, Lux didn't even have time to feel the destructive methods of the spells she arranged, and these spells became invalid in an instant!

Lux ​​had never seen such a situation before. The pressure brought to her by this giant was even better than that of the giant god.

So, Lux supplemented herself and Ashe with defensive spells while slowing down her pace a little.

Ashe separated from Lux as planned before and began to detour from the side, looking for a more reliable cover shooting point there.

Well, considering that there was really endless ice and snow on the Great Glacier and the sharp vision of these giants, this shooting point might not be easy to find.

Shaking her head, Lux stopped thinking about Ashe and turned to look at the behemoth.

After getting really close, she could finally see many details of this huge monster.

Through the ice covering its body, Lux saw the muscles and tendons twisted together like a dragon. They seemed to be preserved in an ice display case, reflecting arcs of light that made people shudder in the sun.

Hmm, no, that doesn't seem to be twisted muscles and tendons!

After getting closer to these giants, Lux finally realized that the part of its body covered by ice looked quite bright, not because of the ice, but because its surface had a waxy structure that could reflect sunlight like the shell of an ant!

Wait, the shell of an ant?

Chitinous shell?

At this moment, Lux's heart suddenly sank.

In the description of void creatures, a very important feature is "chitinous shell and body structure similar to insects and beasts".

And the big guy in front of him happened to have a chitinous shell and a body structure similar to that of a beast.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't mean anything.

The key is that it gave Lux a strong sense of oppression. Lux couldn't imagine what kind of existence could make herself, who was fearless in the face of Volibear's roar, feel a kind of suffocating oppression from the bottom of her heart.

Only the void.

Only that world that is always hungry and never satisfied can make Lux, who once faced the glory of the heaven, tremble and shudder from the inside out, and let her feel the silent oppression before any battle!

So... is this a void creature?

However, according to Kalya, void creatures are rarely so huge, because void creatures change their material form when they come to Runeland. If void creatures want to have a physical form in Runeland, they must understand the world laws of Runeland, otherwise their bodies will not take shape at all.

Therefore, generally speaking, the larger the size of the void creature, the more it adapts to the world laws of Runeland, and the greater the threat.

And how could such a large void giant be unknown?

Although she was full of doubts, Lux's movements did not hesitate at all. A light-forged greatsword was directly held in her hand. The light-forged greatsword grew against the wind and instantly turned into a hundred-foot-long giant sword, cutting horizontally towards the giant beast.

Facing Lux's slash, the beast did not roar, nor did it make any other emotional movements. It just walked steadily, as if it was unaware of Lux's blade.

So, Lux successfully slashed its neck, which was as slender as Optimus Prime.

The blade shattered the ice layer, and Optimus Prime broke directly.

However, even though its neck had been completely cut off, the beast's forward steps did not slow down at all. It still walked towards Lux, not hurriedly.

Instead, Lux, who succeeded in one strike, seemed to realize something and gave up the Lightforged Greatsword.

Something is wrong!

There is no small class today.
