"Ah Shu, when are we going to wait?"

"Shhh

The speaker's companion had a speechless expression.

“...... I think you're thinking too much. ”

When the two of them walked out of the door with the consciousness of being eaten by the ice puppet, they saw that the silent village was empty, and the monsters they saw cruising back and forth before seemed to be just hallucinations.

The two young trainers looked at each other for a moment.

According to the normal game routine, the monsters in the new map will definitely not retreat and rest for no reason, so the only suspicious thing is the strange sound that sounded before the ice puppet disappeared.

"I see, it must be a song calling for demons. One of the teenagers said firmly - it was really that the voice was so unpleasant that it was beyond the mental endurance of ordinary people, and they only cared about covering their ears, and they didn't see the movement of the ice puppet at all.

However, they firmly believe that there will be no second possibility for such a nasty song other than "summoning demons"!

"Then let's go along and have a look? I don't want to go to the lighthouse anymore anyway......"

"I agree, if you don't act, you won't be able to complete the task that Brother Ikawa commanded...... Belch. ”

The trainer who took the lead turned his head in confusion, "What?"

“...... Did you hear anything?"

The two of them pricked up their ears, trying to catch movement from afar. The sound was like an earthquake, and like thunder, and it was dimly approaching with the tremor of the earth.

After thinking for a while, the young man had a flash of inspiration: "I know, it's the sound of footsteps!"

He clapped his hands happily and pulled his companion around—

They all froze in place.

"I'm so stupid, really. Long Xing ran wildly and said breathlessly, "I only knew that the southerners had to practice swimming well, so why didn't I think of practicing running together......

At this moment, there were countless ice puppets chasing behind them, and Long Xing didn't even dare to take out the Poké Balls and fled in embarrassment - the difference in the number of enemies and friends was too great, and even if they sent out Pokémon, most of them would be drowned in the sea of ice puppets in an instant.

The large-scale gathering of "Ice Attribute Red Monsters" caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, and even the stone pavement was paved with a layer of frost. The siblings were frozen and stiffened, and they relied on their boss Dalian to drag and pull them so that they didn't fall to the ground. On the contrary, Oliver, the youngest, moved freely as a member of the Bingmi clan who was not afraid of the cold, and followed closely behind the three of them with a seal ball.

And Lijiu, who has a slightly better long-distance running performance than her younger brother, still has the energy to look around. She struggled to look ahead through the flying dust and ice shards, then froze.

"Boss, there's someone up ahead!"

After seeing that the figure was wearing the same white cloak as them, the righteous Nanguo siblings immediately shouted and shouted, hoping that the other contestants would not be implicated by them. It's a pity that the two of them didn't know whether they were stunned or didn't react, and they didn't move after being yelled at several times "Run away", until the army of ice puppets and the unlucky people who were being chased by them were close to each other, and they ran forward in a panic after screaming.

Sayo: "......"

Lijiu: "......"

Long Xing: "......"

Seeing that the escape brigade had changed from four to six, Li Jiu couldn't help but say, "What are you doing with us, just hide in the room next to you." ”

The new teenagers ran in tears and answered Lijiu with a few miserable shouts - obviously, they had never seen this formation, and they were scared to lose their brains and lose their ability to think.

Xiao Ye suddenly felt eight big, and just wanted to reach out and pull them, but he saw that one of them was unsteady in his steps, and he hit the other head, and the two unlucky eggs fell into a ball with a grunt, and instantly rolled into the ice puppet team.

The ice puppet that has been stimulated to be ferocious has long since lost its original sluggishness. Feeling the heat approaching, the ice puppet closest to the prey stood, and suddenly a large hole opened in its abdomen.

The fugitives, who were lucky enough not to wrestle, looked horrified as the ice puppets swallowed two living humans into their stomachs in an extremely twisted motion, and then ......

The whole body formed a ball, and it rolled rapidly like a spinning top a few times, and spat the two people who were dizzy to the side of the road. The drone fell in response, flashing a prompt to the contestants who had been eaten and vomited.

Sayo: "......"

Lijiu: "......"

Long Xing: "......"

The frightened eyes of the fugitives gradually died.

Now that the shape of the ice puppet has been used to create a terrifying atmosphere...... Why is the way of "killing" becoming more harmonious!?

The unlucky ones who died in the belly of the ice puppets didn't slow down the monsters much. Xiao Ye glanced at the group of ice puppets that were getting closer and closer, and said decisively: "It can't go on like this-follow me!"

As she spoke, she limped into an alley. The Terashima siblings thought that the boss was trying to slow down the ice puppet with a narrow road, and who wanted to meet a gray wall in front of them as soon as they turned a corner - this was clearly a dead end!

The ice puppets in the vanguard have poured into the narrow alley. At that moment, the light of the Poké Ball pierced the night, and the forest lizards leaped out, and the grass whirlwind rose flat, blocking the path of the ice puppets.

The Terashima siblings only felt that their bodies were being dragged by a force and took off, and the sudden acceleration made people suddenly think they were on a roller coaster. After a familiar whirlwind, their feet finally touched the ground again, and they found themselves over the low wall, through a dilapidated wooden house, to the corner of a small courtyard hidden by the fog.

Carrying the collars of the two people to complete a difficult move, Xiao Ye gestured, and the forest lizard jumped down after him, carefully putting down the little boy in his arms.

The four of them exchanged glances with each other, and each of them raised a finger to breathe lightly.

The Ice Puppets could only rely on their voices to find distant enemies, and the noise created by the Forest Lizard's Grass Oath briefly disrupted their hearing, and the hiding place of the four of them must have not been discovered at this moment.

The surviving adventurers pricked up their ears and listened to the sound of rustling gradually subside, as if no ice puppet had found this remote courtyard. Long Xing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, just as he wanted to move his stiff neck, the sight he saw when he looked up made him stiffen, and his cervical vertebrae made a crisp click.

The ice-walking puppet stood on the courtyard wall behind it. It leaned over, its yellow eyes lit up like a flashlight, and it didn't know how long it had been staring at the fugitives.

The distance between the two was extremely close, only a few centimeters away from being able to touch the face, and the visual impact of that moment made the southern boy's brain go blank, so that he could faint. When he came back to his senses, he had already been dragged by the collar by the Beidou boss and ran out far away—and when he looked back, there were only a lot more ice puppets than just now, and the army had already caught up again.

"The Ice Puppets are their conductors!" said Sayyo's voice, which was a little indistinct in the cold wind.

Superpowers have always been one of the most difficult attributes to deal with, and the ice puppet who has been fooled with stereotype is not the same difficulty at all as the ice puppet who has been fooled. Xiao Ye was racking her brains to think about how to get out with everyone smoothly, when she suddenly heard a song in front of her that was enough to shatter the glass and shatter the soul.

Sayo: "......"

No way......

At this moment, in the square in front of the lighthouse in the abandoned village, two teams of menacing ice puppets rushed from the east and west sides respectively, creating an atmosphere like thousands of troops hedging. And the initiator's heart is like ashes, and he even wants to gag the mouth of a certain ghost who is singing all the way.

It's not good to pull the blame somewhere, why did you bring the ice puppet here......!

Countless ice puppets collided under the lighthouse, and for a while, people turned over on their backs, and the soldiers were chaotic, and it was as lively as a demolition site. Xiao Ye ran around with three oil bottles, and with the help of Ghost Stone, he barely managed to be dressed in a human flesh candy gourd immediately.

Even so, there are too many ice puppets. The ice puppets are hidden between them, the glittering canes are waved gracefully, and the ice puppets continue to rush forward with the rhythm, seeing that the fugitives have no way out.

Saya shoves the Terashima siblings and Oliver behind her, giving Ghost Stone the order to lead them back. She stepped forward, holding two Poké Balls with her right hand at the same time, and the soles of her feet faintly flashed with a thunderous blue light.

Just when Xiao Ye had already decided to fight with an ice puppet a hundred times his size, a light lit up.

The wind briefly dispelled the fog, revealing the warm colors of the early morning hours on the skyline. And at the top of the lighthouse, closest to the sky, a figure appeared.

He leaped slightly, and the twin swords in his hands bloomed with light that pierced the night. The ice-like sword and the swordsman descended from the sky, slicing through the array of ice puppets.

The storm unleashed by the Snow Maiden made it difficult for the fugitives to see the swordsman's tracks, and they could only vaguely catch glimpses of the flying light swimming below the lighthouse, and the ice puppets collapsed everywhere they went, falling to the ground like toys that had been de-electrified. Only the flying sword light and the wind and snow never stop, intertwining into a scenery that is enough to be amazing.

When the night grew brighter, the warm orange hues smeared half of the sky, and the blizzard finally stopped.

The silver-robed swordsman stood atop the corpses of a horde of ice puppets, the snow-white blades still spotless.

He only glanced at it lightly, and the little boy from the Bingjian family reluctantly stepped out of the line and obediently walked to the swordsman's side.

"Okay, I was wrong, I knew I shouldn't have come in quietly. Oliver pouted, aggrieved.

The boy seemed to whisper something too. The fugitives standing in the outer circle of the battlefield could not hear their conversation clearly, only to see the silver-robed swordsman turn around and nod to them.

"It's time for you to leave. ”

After speaking, the snow demon girl let out a beautiful clear sound, and the wind and snow rolled up again. Before disappearing completely, Oliver hesitated and turned his gaze to the man who had helped him.

"Head east. The boy's voice came out.

The next moment, the wind buried the faint voices of the humans. By the time the snow and dust had settled, the two men standing in the middle of the square had disappeared without a trace.

Posted by: Mystery Boy Oliver

Location: Abandoned Village

Objective: Find a photo in the lighthouse

Progress: Not yet

I know it's a very capricious request. I shouldn't have snuck in alone, it would cause trouble for Lord Silverrobe and hurt the well-meaning adventurers.

But...... Please, please take me to the lighthouse and find a picture!

Even if you can't turn back time, what you lost won't come back...... But at least we're still qualified to recall, aren't we?

====================

"Boss...... Do you feel that the fog is getting thicker?" Li Jiu looked around at the white fog around her, and said uneasily, "Is the direction we are going in the east, I think it is the north ......"

Long Xing's eyes widened and retorted, "Sister, what are you talking about, it's obviously Xi." ”

Sayo: "...... "How the hell did you survive until now?"

Just as they had guessed, after dawn the ice puppets in the village fell to the ground and "hibernated", and there was no movement. So, the three of them took the opportunity to pick up their pace and move towards the "east" that Oliver was referring to.

It's just that the fog is getting thicker and thicker, and not only does it obstruct the view, but it also interferes with the detection of the waveguide – obviously, this is no ordinary white fog. They couldn't guess what that meant, so they could only move as fast as they could.

The Terashima siblings only felt that they had run at least three marathons today, and they were almost out of breath. Just when the two of them couldn't hold on and wanted to ask the boss for a few minutes to rest, the person running at the front stopped.

"I think that's what Oliver wants us to see. ”

The siblings panted and looked around, a look of surprise on their faces.

Although the fog was thick, the scene could still be seen clearly from a few meters away. The mound grows haphazardly in front of it, and the top is crooked with a stone tablet with inscriptions.

There is no doubt that this is a cemetery.

The Nanguo siblings suddenly felt cold in their hands and feet, and hurried to keep up with the boss to absorb a sense of security. The trio walked through the center of the cemetery and had a panoramic view of everything.

Rather than a cemetery, the "mass graves" may be more in line with this scenario: the mounds are built of different heights, the shape of the stone monuments is hastily carved, and some of them do not even have the names of the deceased written. However, regardless of whether the inscription is beautiful or not, whether the name, gender, and year of birth and death are clearly written, all steles are engraved with the same line of characters.

[We will always remember our compatriots who lost in this disaster]

"Calamity......" Li Jiu repeated the words on the inscription softly, vaguely feeling that this might be a key point. And Long Xing compared the names on each stone tablet on the side of the road, and also determined one thing.

Those buried here are all members of the Himi family.

The time of death on the stele is almost always concentrated in a year ago - it's hard to imagine what happened at that time to cause such heavy casualties to the Himi family, which has powerful magical powers. And...... Why did the Bingmi family, which values brotherhood, hastily bury their relatives and leave?

The white fog grew thicker and thicker, and gradually even the roads that were close at hand were swallowed up. The three had to stay in a hand-in-hand position so that no one would get separated. Soon, they came to the end of the cemetery.

The stone monument standing in the center of the mound is taller than any of the previous ones. Xiao Ye stepped forward and struggled to read the first line.

No longer a fixed inscription, but - [Rest in peace, valiant warrior].

The viscous mist began to surge, as if repelling a foreign object, and it was restless to try to drive away the uninvited guests. Before her vision fell into a blank expanse, she could see the names engraved on the stele.

[Ice Mir Ralph]

Xiao Ye remembered very clearly—it was the name of the strongest warrior in the Wind and Snow Villa, the second elder of the Bingmi family.
