Chapter 68: The End of the Continent
Arthur: They set out on a journey home with the little giant Buku.
Unable to fly through the air due to the need for the Ice Spirit Fox to lead the way, Arthur and Buku embarked on an unforgettable journey to measure the ice field with their feet.
Buku said that he had followed his father for a long time on the way here, but he did not give a distance. When they actually embarked on this journey north, Arthur and the others walked for a month.
It was also a month that Arthur and Joan will never forget.
The biggest danger on the ice sheet is not the extremely low temperature, nor the sudden ice and snow storms, but the demonic beasts that pop up from time to time on the ice field.
Due to the lack of food on the ice field, all the predators are extremely fierce, and the weak have long been eliminated by the harsh environment. Along the way, Arthur and the others encounter packs of ice wolves, small lord-level ice demon bears, and even the extremely rare shadowless snow leopard.
In order to train Arthur and Joan, most of the battles Sino and Spence did not shoot, and only shot when they were extremely dangerous or when the gap was too large.
Arthur's trip to the ice field still did not give up the opportunity to improve, often rushing and fighting during the day, and cultivating fighting spirit at night. With the continuous improvement of Danyang's cultivation level, the ice spirit heart already had a faint sign of not being able to suppress the violent fighting qi in his body, Arthur had begun to feel a faint pain when he was cultivating before, but the extremely low temperature on the ice field had alleviated this pain to a certain extent.
Joan is also progressing in battle, and the fire magic elements on the ice field are extremely rare, and the power of fire magic on the ice field is reduced by at least half. Joan is training the ability to manipulate fire-based magic under extreme conditions, mobilizing limited magical elements through manipulation to maximize magical effects.
Because of the responsibility, the two of them grew up rapidly in a difficult environment.
The further north they went, the shorter the daylight hours became, and most of the day was in darkness, and Arthur even felt that they were gradually walking towards the darkness.
The little fox suddenly ran up quickly, and Arthur seemed to hear something.
Buku also ran excitedly, "Did you hear that? We're here, and our village is in front of us." ”
The further forward it was, the clearer the sound became, and it was the rumbling sound of water.
Sino couldn't help but fly into the air, and as far as he could see, he had reached the end of the ice field, the northern end of the continent, and beyond that was the endless ocean.
Arthur and Joan, who saw the ocean for the first time, were all stunned, as far as the eye could see, the sea was deep and almost black, and the huge black waves were rolling up waves and crashing against the iceberg cliffs at the end of the white ice field.
The black sea and white ice fields meet here, forming a striking dividing line, as if this is the place where light and darkness meet, and you will officially enter the dark world with one step.
Sino suddenly said: "I have heard the legend that after passing through the frozen plateau, the end of the continent is the Sea of Darkness, which is another world, and you will never return to the continent when you enter the Sea of Darkness. ”
"Hurry up, there's our village ahead. Buku turned back to Arthur and beckoned to them.
At the end of the ice field, there is a strange village on the shore of the Sea of Darkness, the houses in the village are all built very tall, the walls of the village facing the ice field are made of white ice, and the walls facing the side of the Dark Sea are made of black sand.
There were no guards at the entrance of the village, and Buku ran directly into the village excitedly, but there was no one in the village.
Buku pushed open the doors of several houses one after another, and there was no one in the room.
"Where have all the people gone?" Buku scratched his head and shouted directly into the street, "Aru, Daisy, where are you? I'm back." ”
Buku shouted the name of his former friend as he walked along the road, but still received no response.
Shino and Spence flew around the village quickly, again finding no figure.
This time, the giants are really gone!
After turning around for a long time and not finding the clansman, Buku squatted on the ground and cried, aggrieved like a child.
"Buku, don't be sad, your people and friends are fine, they just moved away. Arthur began to comfort the little giant.
"Really?" Buku looked at Arthur with tears in his eyes.
"Really. Arthur had carefully observed that there was no sign of fighting in the village, and that many things in the house, including food, had been taken away, and it was clear that the villagers had moved away in a planned way, rather than being attacked.
"And where did they go?"
This question really stumped Arthur, the giants seemed to have been gone for a while, and it was difficult to find out where they were going from the traces. Whether it's a dark sea or a frozen plateau, finding a small number of giants without a definite clue is really looking for a needle in a haystack.
Arthur reluctantly proposed, "I don't know where they went? ”
Arthur and the others were also very disappointed by the disappearance of the giants, because it meant that there was no cure for the "Frozen Body". Researching the village was the only thing they could do right now, and it was the only hope Arthur had left.
So Arthur and Shino took Buku's group, and Joan and Spence began to re-search room by room, carefully down to every inch of space, even knocking on the walls and floors to see if there were any hidden tunnels.
After three days of searching the village, he still did not find any valuable clues.
The few people who met again were not very interested, and this trip to the ice field was probably going to be fruitless.
"It seems that the only way to save the elven queen is the kiss of the prince, and I don't mind dedicating myself. "Joan, a fool, still has the heart to joke at this time.
Arthur suddenly noticed Joan with a large animal skin book in her pocket, "What are you holding?"
"I guess it's the giant's storybook that the kids brought back to commemorate their trip to the icefields. ”
"Show me. Arthur asked for the book.
This is a book of dozens of animal skins nailed together, each skin has a story drawn, most of which are the stories of giant heroes fighting, and the characters and animals are also colored with special dyes, which is already a very rare masterpiece in terms of the level of giant painting.
As Joan guessed, this book is a story book for giants to tell their children about the heroes of the giants' history.
Arthur had planned to turn the pages and return them to Joan, but his eyes were fixed on the third page.
"What do you think this is?" Arthur beckoned to the crowd to come around.
I saw that on the far left side of the picture were several giants lying side by side on the ground, then a giant fighting many monsters in the valley, and the last battle scene was a picture of fighting a white monster with a sword spine on its back. At the end of the scroll, the giant trampled the monster under his feet, and the giant who had been lying on the ground before cheered around him.
Several of the people present were smart people, and they instantly guessed what kind of story this might be telling!
