Chapter 222 Since It Is Called Gushan, the Enemy Must Be
Chapter 222 Since it’s called Gushan, of course the enemy is...
By the time it got light, Carl and others had finished processing the body of the petrified cow and had breakfast.
After packing up the camp, the group began to move towards the lonely mountain, and as expected, were moved to other areas halfway.
"Hmm~, I can't tell where this world is!"
I checked the nearby environment with the three-dimensional map I just made, but it turned out that I couldn't match it with the map at all.
Even though Karl risked falling and flew to the extreme height of flying, he did not see terrain similar to a three-dimensional map.
Carl was sure that they were moved far away from the target area!
"You've drawn the worst lottery, do you want to go back again?"
After landing back on the ground, Karl sought the opinions of his companions.
Even if you turn back, you may not be able to return to the previous area.
"No, it's better not to do this. It is said that travelers hate going back. Although this is actually a bit superstitious, adventurers do try to avoid it. Let's explore in this direction first."
After trying hard to distinguish the smell in the air, Bain finally decided to head southwest.
The ranger's ability to guide in the forest is still very trustworthy, so everyone got on the truck transformed by the mecha and headed in the direction Bain said.
Because he had considered this possibility before, Carl opened up the truck-shaped cab and the rear compartment, turning it into some kind of RV style.
As Karl and Bain returned to the car, Thorin stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction Bain said.
The soil shaping technique smoothed the road in front of the truck. The two floating cannons changed the type of shells and were now hanging on the front of the truck, freezing all the trees blocking the front into ice sculptures, which were then smashed by the front of the truck.
Although this kind of adventure seems very comfortable and can keep those overestimating beasts away, on the other hand, dangerous beasts and giants will always come to join in the fun.
The car drove forward for a few kilometers. Before Karl and others could jump to the area, a giant discovered this strange steel box.
It was a frost giant with green-blue skin. He was holding a mallet cut from an ancient tree. It was covered with blood and dirt. It seemed that it had been with him for a long time.
As soon as he discovered Karl and others, he immediately stood up from the hillside of a hill.
Saying something random in his mouth, he raised his legs and chased after Karl and the others.
Originally, Karl was thinking about transforming the mecha and fighting against the frost giant.
But when I looked through the secret eye mechanism, the giant's body actually glowed with the red light of a barbarian going crazy.
"Thorin! Run! Press the accelerator to the bottom!"
Without any hesitation, Karl immediately gave up his previous idea.
After hearing Karl's words, Thorin smiled in the driver's seat.
"Hey! Just waiting for you to say this!"
Pressing the accelerator all the way to the bottom, Thorin shifted into gear skillfully, then he held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and looked straight ahead.
A red button popped up in the middle of the steering wheel. Without looking at it, he slapped it directly.
On the roof of the car, the two floating cannons turned around and pointed their muzzles toward the rear.
The oncoming air is poured into the gun barrel, and then compressed into a solid state by the air compressor.
But they did not directly fire the solid nitrogen out, but used the original shell as a jet assist to revaporize from the muzzle.
Everyone in the car was pushed down on their seats by a strong push, and the whole truck rushed out like a cannonball.
Karl, who was using the secret eye device to check the status of the frost giant, felt that as soon as he lay back, the frost giant was far behind by the truck.
Suddenly, the scenery ahead changed suddenly, and everyone realized that the truck had driven out of the area just now.
But just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the frost giant actually appeared behind them.
"Wori! Bain! Thorin! Turn on the auxiliary driver's seat!"
After disconnecting from the Mystic Eye, Carl opened his eyes and left the side of Hope and Shadow.
On the co-pilot, a mystical eye mechanism and a joystick rose in front of Bain.
At the rear of the truck, two mechanical arms separated from the truck armor, and then came together again, transforming into a cannon muzzle.
Two footprints appeared on the metal ground behind the manual transmission. Karl stepped on them wearing power armor boots, and they were perfectly integrated with them.
Then, two levers dropped from the roof of the car. Karl reached out to grab them, and the arm armor of the power armor was also combined with them.
The magic power circulated rapidly through Carl in the truck, and the feeling of his body being filled with magic power made Carl's brain slightly dizzy.
But Karl still insisted on giving the order.
"attack!"
As the order was given, the muzzle formed by the mechanical arms lit up with dazzling electric light, and Bane controlled the muzzle, aiming at the frost giant behind him.
When Bain pressed the button, there was a "buzz" sound, a metal cannonball was fired from the muzzle, and the truck suddenly jumped forward.
The frost giant behind him seemed to have felt the danger of this attack, and even tried to avoid the electromagnetic gun by turning sideways.
But although his brain reacted, his body's agility attribute couldn't keep up.
In addition, Bain, the hunter, had made advance preparations, so the shell flew directly over his left shoulder, and the hit position exploded on the spot.
Blood poured down like rain, and the frost giant was slowed down by this blow, and the distance between the two sides began to widen rapidly.
But he still did not give up the plan to chase Carl and others. He threw the huge club directly, and the target was the truck that was fleeing at a high speed.
The road ahead was not easy to walk. If Thorin dodges to the sides, he will inevitably hit the cliff or fall to the bottom of the valley. There was no way, Carl had to operate the pull rod to separate the two mechanical arms.
When the huge club was about to hit the truck, Carl operated the mechanical arm to punch it hard.
"Boom!"
The club smashed a hole in the ground, and the truck narrowly avoided the attack.
The distance between the truck and the giant was widened again, and Thorin was not affected at all, and the accelerator was still welded.
The angry roar of the frost giant soon came from behind, but everyone turned a deaf ear to it and continued to move forward.
More than ten minutes later, the scene in front suddenly changed again.
But this time, the crowd did not hold on to luck and continued to drive forward for a long time.
Until they confirmed that there was no creature chasing them, Thorin finally released the accelerator and stopped the car.
"I must bring this thing back when I return to my hometown in the future!"
Rubbing his calloused hands excitedly, Thorin, a good-tempered dwarf, rarely showed his love for something.
"I think you can consider finding a wife first. You are obviously a young man among the dwarves, but you are depressed every day, not like your fellow tribesmen at all."
In the co-pilot, Bain took his eyes off the sight and complained about Thorin's character.
"Oh! Do you think I don't want to? But I grew up in Sarn, and the female dwarves there and here have very bad beards. How can I find that kind of stuff with such a beautiful beard?"
As we all know, dwarves, both men and women, have beards, and they also rely on beards to distinguish beauty and ugliness.
This aesthetic may be very different from most intelligent races, but it is the aesthetic standard that dwarves are born with.
Even dwarves like Thorin who grew up in human society are no exception.
"Tsk, so you just want to find someone who can make you fall in love at first sight? I thought the aesthetics finally leaned towards us."
Bain smiled and teased while lying back in the seat.
"I don't really want to discuss this with a guy like you who has abandoned the racial aesthetics. I remember that the standard for orcs and half-orcs to find a spouse is to look at muscle mass, right?"
As he said this, Thorin suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart. Looking back, Scorpion didn't know when to take out her scimitar, and was looking at Thorin with a smile.
"We just escaped from death, and you are talking about this? Wait, let me see where we are now."
After getting off the device, Carl opened the car door and walked out.
He still used the flying spell to take off and observe the terrain, but this time Carl landed quickly.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Carl had been standing still after landing, Bain thought Carl had seen something dangerous.
But Carl slowly raised his hand, his arm trembling obviously.
"That's the Lonely Mountain! The surrounding terrain also matches! We seem to have hit the jackpot!"
After a brief silence, cheers suddenly rang out in the carriage.
To be honest, Bain always felt that Carl's adventure with Hope and Shadow to Xen'drik was unnecessary.
No matter how precious the giant's treasure is, if you lose your life, you will lose everything.
Carl's ability to make money is obvious to all, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he makes a fortune every day.
But since he has agreed to be a guide and scout for Carl, Bain does not want to go back on his word.
Now that he has finally found the target, he is relieved.
The only difficulty now is that they don't know how dangerous the Lonely Mountain ruins are.
Logically speaking, the security measures of the ruins that can be opened with adamantium as a key should not be too weak.
"Okay! Let's leave the joy for the exploration. Let's rest here now. After lunch, we will go into the lonely mountain to explore!"
Although they had just started not long ago, the journey of being chased by the frost giants also consumed a lot of attention of Carl and his friends.
Adventure is a job that requires carefulness. If something goes wrong because of a bad state, there is really no place to complain.
Since there is this condition, Carl will naturally not let everyone explore the ruins with a negative state.
After a short rest, everyone woke up again and then started to cook.
Everything was ready, and everyone drove the truck and drove forward slowly.
There may be some kind of more dangerous creatures on this lonely mountain. After walking in the mountains for a while, there was not even a living thing.
But Hope cast a druid spell to explore the surroundings, but did not find any negative energy reactions of the undead or anything else.
But as everyone kept moving forward, they all had accelerated heartbeats and suspicious performances.
Suddenly, a roar sounded from the cliff in the distance.
A breath of fire shot out into the sky and hit a giant eagle in the sky.
