No.72 The Son of God praises the boundless wind and snow
As the boiling barrage swept through the webcast room, the ice field remained silent.
The sudden voice of the voice startled the Terashima sisters and brothers, and they drew their swords and pulled out the balls, and they didn't know what to make up in their brains. On the contrary, the leader behaved quite leisurely, checking the condition of the ivory pig step by step, and only turned back unhurriedly after confirming that the enemy was unconscious.
At some point, a group of people appeared on the white ice field.
The adventurer's white cloak made it easy for their bodies to blend into the snow and ice, and the siblings thought they had seen and heard in all directions, but they didn't notice when they were approaching—a small group of about ten people, tall and thin, but equally silent, standing silently in the shadows cast by the dark clouds. The leader stood at the forefront, bowing politely to the stranger.
"My name is Hidechi Ikawa, and I'm an adventurer from the East. ”
With the movement of the visitor, a strand of light yellow hair slipped from his ear. The bird-shaped mask obscured most of his face, and only the corners of his mouth could be seen raised, as if smiling.
Seeing the vigilant expressions of the Nanguo siblings, the blonde-haired adventurer took a step back and raised his hands apologetically, "I don't mean to be hostile to the three of them—although it's presumptuous, do the three of you have any plans to cooperate with more people?"
Although there was no need to continue to play the adventurer of the ancient West in the uninhabited ice field, since the other party was playing with great interest, Xiao Ye didn't mind cooperating, so he just asked, "What do you mean?"
A young man named Hidechi Ikawa replied with a smile, "Please allow me to introduce my comrades-in-arms first. ”
He turned sideways and spelled out the names of the adventurers who had gathered around him, making him the leader of the party.
"Presumably, the three of them have also discovered that the area of Fengxue Mountain is vast, and even this ice field is difficult to fully explore by a single person's strength. It was obviously not the first time that the uninvited guest had uttered such words, and he spoke skillfully and eloquently, "so I chose to form an alliance with a reliable adventurer." So far, we have heard many secrets about the Wind and Snow Villa, and we have killed more than 20 monsters through teamwork. ”
Hidechi didn't miss the gentle gasping sound of the Terashima siblings. He thought that the matter was already secure, and he smiled and extended an invitation, "Also, we follow the principle of resource sharing within the alliance, and the intelligence and results of the battle will always belong to everyone - if the three of you think that we are still strong, do you want to consider joining us?"
The meaning of his words is clear, and it is almost on the surface that "as long as you join, you can get a lot of information for nothing".
The leader of the yellow-haired alliance believed that after trekking through the vast snowfields for most of the day, no one would refuse such a good thing of mutual benefit. As for "whether sharing resources will harm their own interests" - as early as when introducing the members of the Alliance, he briefly mentioned the strengths and achievements of each of them, which undoubtedly proves that there are no people in the team who have not contributed. In fact, he used the same method to win over his current teammates.
Hidechi confidently looked at the three people opposite and exchanged glances and nodded to each other. Just as he had already put on an elegant smile to welcome the new members, the purple-haired boy who seemed to be the leader of the team spoke calmly—
"Thank you for having me, but we have no plans to do so for the time being. If nothing else, allow us to take our leave. ”
Hidechi: "......"
The drone took a ten-second close-up of the yellow-haired boy's frozen smile on his face with full spirituality, and the live broadcast room was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the screen was flying by hahaha.
As the contestant with the most views in the single-person live broadcast room at present, Hidechi Ikawa is a well-known young man - he has participated in professional leagues, and he often appears on variety shows, and is considered a member of the star trainer. Because of its interesting temperament and strength, it quickly attracted a group of loyal fans.
Although traditional trainers are quite dissatisfied with some of their peers moving closer to the entertainment industry, and the two sides often cause online scolding wars when they are on the same stage, they are so ...... with their acting skills in the Battle of Wind and Snow No, in a light-hearted competition, there are very few spectators who debate each other's emotions about whether or not the competition should be entertaining. The spectators watched with great interest as Hidechi Ikawa used words and lures to expand his team, efficiently collected clues, and beautifully completed several wild hunts-
And then finally ushered in the mouth escape of the first failure.
After discovering that the other party's answer was serious and resolute, Xiuzhi suddenly felt that it was tricky.
He watched the battle from afar. The two thorn shell partners are of decent strength, but the team leader in charge of controlling the field is quite impressive, and the quick and calm reaction and skillful use of tactics make Hidechi immediately sure that the opponent must be an experienced and strong trainer.
Thinking of the number of people his plan would need, the leader of the alliance decided to make a small test.
He sighed regretfully, "I see. Before I say goodbye, I would like to give you a piece of advice. ”
The yellow-haired boy retracted his smile, and his tone was no longer gentle and amiable, "The closer you get to the Demonic Beast Forest, the more powerful the Demonic Beasts you encounter, and most of them act as a group, and you can't cross that harsh ice field by relying on stratagems. You need more pure power, like this—"
As the snapping of his fingers fell, the flame-clad beast roared behind him. Like a volcanic eruption, the fire swept away with smoke and dust, almost creating a tsunami-like sound.
Hidechi certainly didn't want to hurt the disagreeing trainers. He was just trying to provoke a Pokémon battle, hoping to change the opponent's opinion with his victory over the Fire Storm Beast - but just a second later, an even brighter light emerged from the sea of fire.
Like a groundbreaking axe, pillars of flame rose into the sky, almost touching the clouds high in the sky. The blinding light forced Hidechi to close his eyes.
After the heat wave, the scene in front of him made the yellow-haired star trainer stunned on the spot.
A large ravine appeared between the two men - the snow and ice caps melted and evaporated in an instant, revealing a charred rock surface. The traces left by the firestorm beast's fire-breathing were completely cut off halfway through, and the snow on the other side of the ravine was still white, without even a trace of spark.
Then, the dragon descended from the sky like a demon god. Its eyes glowed red, steaming heat swirled around it, and the flames at the tip of its tail burned so brightly that even the air twisted into it.
On the other side of the ravine, the purple-haired boy tilted his head and asked as if seriously, "Just like this?"
Hidechi: "......"
Hidechi: "Farewell." ”
It wasn't until the group walked far away that they couldn't see the scorch marks left by the fire, and the young man walking beside the leader of the alliance muttered, "I really don't know what to do, I dare to refuse even your invitation, big brother." Big brother, should we bring a few people to make some trouble for them?"
The expression under Hidechi's mask became indescribable, "...... After the play, don't play yourself as vicious cannon fodder. ”
"Hey!?" The vicious cannon fodder, who thought he had acted just right, showed a deeply stricken crying face.
"But that person obviously has a fire-breathing dragon, why didn't he let it out when he fought so hard against the ivory pig?" someone next to him chimed in.
"I'm thinking about that too. The yellow-haired boy frowned.
The Ghost Stone and Leo Road style of play, while brilliant and full of the trainer's skillful commanding skills, was also too risky. There were several times when Ivory Pig was only one step away from the trainer, and if Ghost Stone and Leolu were a little slower, the adventurer would be attacked by a furious monster and would definitely be out. It's rare for trainers to use such a low margin for error against wild Pokémon - which is why Hidechi judged that the opponent didn't have Pokémon with strong attack power.
However, if there is such a powerful Pokémon as Charizard, why use such risky tactics? Even if it is to train the Pokémon or preserve the physical strength of the general, you should also send Charizard to sit on the side to prevent accidental exit.
"Why the hell ......"
The young star trainer's eyebrows are tangled, and the audience in the live broadcast room is unsympathetic, and he is even happier when he is puzzled.
[Unexpected, right? The reason is "I'm T weird, you output"]
[Hahaha It turns out that normal people can't understand sand sculptures]
[Ah Xiu, wake up, you are a person who started by tactics, why do you have a hard fight with the quartz alliance explosion maniac wwww]
[It's a pity that Brother Xiuzhi gave a big speech, but he didn't ask the other party's name]
[Agree, knowing the name will not use fire to deal with Beidou www]
[And there is no need to worry about why he dares to be one person and two monsters, the martial arts faction is not afraid.jpg]
[Hmm...... After watching the replay in the morning, I felt that the ivory pig close to Beidou was the one who risked his life to fight......]
Xiao Ling, who was far away in the Silver Mountain Range, sent a few strings of hahaha with the crowd, and then put on a serious face and looked at the figure on the video call.
"Captain, is it really okay to go on like this? will it not make others mistakenly think that we are a team of funny artists?" said the golden retriever girl seriously.
Xiao Jie also made a face very cooperative, "Yes, Captain, we have to shoulder the responsibility and strive to create a calm and reliable team image." How about contacting the reporter for an interview after the training is over?"
Xiaotian: "......"
Do you want to turn Dawn from a team of funny entertainers into a circus?
At this moment, Xiao Ye, who is in the snowy mountains, does not know that he has attracted a group of spectators because of his violent behavior and sand sculpture speech - and he does not know that the captain has a strong concern about the future of the Dawn Clan. She and the Terashima siblings circled around the two ivory pigs a few times, and soon found the "magic core" buried in their fur.
According to the Himi people, in order to fairly count the exploits of adventurers, after killing the monsters, it is necessary to take out the magic core in their bodies as proof - of course, in reality, it is just a stained glass bead hanging from the Pokémon's body.
After collecting the loot, Long Xing asked curiously, "Boss, why did you refuse so quickly just now?"
When Hidechi threw out the invitation, the three people present seemed to make eye contact, but in fact, Xiaoya only received a trusting gaze in the style of "listening to the boss", so he had to act arbitrarily once. Seeing that the big-hearted siblings finally raised this question, Xiao Ye sighed and said, "You said that you want to finish this game like the hero of justice, right?"
"Did you say it?" both of them looked confused.
"So, I don't think you like that guy's way of doing things. Sayo replied.
Li Jiu and Long Xing immediately looked at each other in confusion.
"What do you mean......?"
Xiao Ye put away the glass beads representing the "magic core" and smiled at the two of them, "It's just a guess - the reason will be known later." ”
The three-person team packed up and set out on the road to the Warcraft Forest again.
They practiced the original rules, did not take the initiative to attack the monsters, and only fought back when they were attacked. Despite this, when they were only one hill away from the Warcraft Forest, they had six or seven more "Demon Cores" in their hands.
There weren't many wild Pokémon encountered along the way, and most of them fled when they heard the movement. There are only a few extraordinarily irritable guys who fight when they see people, and they can't communicate at all, and Xiao Ye and his party have to knock them down in order to protect themselves. Along the way, the Terashima siblings fully realized how enjoyable it was to be a carefree output, and the only dissatisfaction was the hope that the monsters would stop holding the magic core in their mouths - it was really hard to spit on the snow with glass beads and saliva.
By this time, the daylight had shifted westward, and the skyline was beginning to glow a slight orange. After the three of them discussed, they felt that it was a pity to finally walk near the forest, and it would be a pity to return directly, so it was better to explore after dinner in the wilderness.
So, they stopped for a moment in the safety zone under the hill.
For humanitarian reasons, the organizers certainly don't shoot the contestants 24 hours a day, from eating to going to the toilet. There are many safe areas on the vast ice field where participants can rest, and once you step into the safe zone, the drone will stop filming and the monster will not enter. On the plain wooden fenced snow, neatly built tents surround a campfire, enough for adventurers to stop and rest.
It was probably late in the day, most of the adventurers had already returned, and no one else was using the safe zone. Seeing this, the Nanguo sisters and brothers happily picked a favorite tent for themselves, and went in to have a simple dinner.
—and then stared at the compressed biscuits that the Himi clan had prepared for them in the package.
It is also the brand most commonly bought by freelance trainers, and it is the best companion for travelers with a full tube and a variety of flavors.
"I thought they were going to give us dry biscuits or something...... "Lijiu frowned, feeling that the pile of cookies had ruined the retro atmosphere of the whole package.
"Did you know?" said Sayra, holding up the compressed biscuit, with a blank face, "Just as the black flying creature hovering above our heads is the eyes of the gods, this incredible food is also a gift from the gods - it is said that these foods only appear when the eyes of the gods patrol his territory, and are distributed to foreign adventurers by the generous Himi people." ”
Lijiu: "......"
Long Xing: "......"
Long Xing: "Boss, take your magical powers." ”
After settling dinner in three or two, the three of them released Pokémon one after another to reward their partners who had fought hard all the way. After setting up a row of plates, the Terashima siblings turned to Xiao Ye's side with great interest, intending to see what Pokémon the boss had.
- and then he was dumbfounded for the second time at the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
“...... Uh, that. Li Jiu pointed to a fierce man who plunged into the snow for unknown reasons and wanted to escape, and was pulled out by the ghost Si General Spirit, and pressed his nose in the mud, and asked cautiously, "Are you doing any special training......
"How could it be. Xiao Ye smiled.
She briefly explained to her two temporary teammates the situation towards the north nose. Bailangzhen's entanglement with the poaching group is too long, and she omits all the backstory, and simply says that the owner of Chaobeibi is someone else, and she is just entrusted to travel with Chaobeibi.
When the sister and brother heard this, they were suddenly stunned.
As pure wild freelance trainers, they have read a lot of commissions at the front desk of the Pokémon Center, and they have also seen this kind of task - the owner of the Pokémon is busy with work, and he can't bear to let his partner accompany him in the house day and night, so he has to ask other trainers to take their Pokémon out for a walk.
Li Jiu finished the whole story by herself, only thinking that Chaobei Nose missed her master and would race against time to escape. She took off her mask and smiled as she leaned over and touched her hard body facing the north nose.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know you want to go back to your master, right. The girl whispered in a childish tone, "If you bear with it a little longer, you will definitely be able to meet the person you want!"
Chaobei, who was imprisoned by mental power, couldn't move, and naturally couldn't respond. Instead, Ghost Stone, who was overeating while floating around, tilted his head.
It felt that the strength of its struggle towards the north nose suddenly became much smaller, and it hurriedly floated around the other party, making sure that it had not broken any stone in an agitation before relieving itself.
After the noisy dinner, the sky was already starting to darken. The three of them didn't delay any longer, and began to climb over the last snow mound.
On the path near the peak, they saw a stone monument buried in snow. Long Xing stepped forward to brush away the snow and carefully looked at the words and patterns carved on the rock.
"It's like ...... Boundary Monument?"
This seems to be a very old stone monument. Its edges and corners have been rounded, and the handwriting has become blurred. Several deep scars were carved into the surface of the stele from top to bottom, as if someone had tried to destroy it.
By the glow of the setting sun, they struggled to make out the fragmented handwriting beneath the scratches.
[With this as the boundary, the north is a sacred forest]
"Isn't the Sacred Forest?" The siblings muttered and discussed, "Look at this stone tablet for some years, is it the name of a long time ago?"
Xiao Ye did not participate in their conversation for the time being. She wiped away the remaining snow at the base of the stele and saw a small petroglyph.
In the vast snowstorm, a group of villains are dancing happily around the bonfire. And above the campfire, the giant cyan bird stretched its wings in a sheltering gesture - no doubt the form of a frozen bird.
After thinking for a moment, Saya stood up.
"Let's go, go to the top of the mountain. ”
Dressed in white cloaks, adventurers tread snow and gravel to the final highlands.
In the field of vision, the unchanging gray and white mountain rocks are replaced by the vast sky. When the front suddenly opened up, the sister and brother from the south looked at the incredible scenery under their feet and were speechless for a while.
It was a willow tree in the snow and ice that grew lush in the mountains, with branches and leaves as clear as diamonds and shining like stars.
