(4) Fighting hard in the snowy mountains

The winter dawn in Northern Province can definitely be said to be like an ice cellar, the biting cold wind cuts through the face like a knife, the thick snow buries the feet of pedestrians, and when the snow pours into the shoes, the feet and necks are easily frostbitten. But Sun Weifeng didn't want to worry about this, although he only wore a thick deerskin cloak over his leather armor, but his heart was hot, and the dual effect of adrenaline and cold wind made him get goosebumps all over his body. However, the companion of the Demon Sealing Envoy at this time showed a painful look, although the companion was fully dressed, thick hats, gloves, scarves, and two cotton jackets alone, wrapping his thin body like a cicada chrysalis, but he still shrugged his shoulders and moved with difficulty.

Thinking back to the incident about two hours ago, the village chief felt remorseful, if he insisted on not entering the mountain, I was afraid that the demon envoy would not do anything to him, why didn't he refuse, it was good now, maybe he would freeze to death in this deep mountain in a while.

Sun Weifeng followed behind the village chief, moving slowly in line with the village chief's speed. At this time, Sun Weifeng didn't want to urge the village chief, he knew that the village chief was not like him, how many times he had undergone extremely harsh training to create himself today, and he occasionally envied the village chief Such a "free man", the demon envoy could not retire to live the life he wanted until he was 40 years old, but few demon envoys would live to that day, and the sad life was the business card of the demon envoys.

Sun Yufeng took a small sip of the spirit, and the hot liquid flowed through his throat, warming his body again. He watched as he walked, he had to remember the way back, in fact he would never get lost, tracking and finding the way was the basic skill of the Demon Sealers.

After another half an hour, the village chief stopped his steps and pointed to a cliff: "Go up to that cliff, and you will see a bulging mountain bag, and you will go around the mouth of the cave." “

Sun Weifeng looked at the cliff, it was not very high, that is, the height of a five-story building, but it was almost perpendicular to the ground, the surface was bare, the snow covered the raised rocks, and the snow below seemed too flat, indicating that there was a layer of ice underneath the snow.

Sun Weifeng asked, "Is it common to see stagnant water under this cliff?"

The chief of the village replied, "Yes, there is a spring down here, and the woodcutters use it as a resting place when the weather is warm." “

"Then how do I get up to the top of that cliff?" asked Sun Weifeng again.

The village chief replied to Sun Weifeng: "When the weather is warm, you can see the wooden stakes nailed to it, and the ladder is fixed to that pillar, but last time the guards said that the ladder was also damaged, and they found the body under the cliff." “

Sun Weifeng already knew the general process of the whole thing, and the last step was to see what monster did all this. Thinking that he would not need the village chief in the future, he said to the village chief: "Trouble my lord, you can go back, if I don't come back before dark, it means that I am dead, and then I will trouble you to write another letter to the headquarters to explain the situation, and the above will send someone else to take my horse and take charge of the task of exterminating the demon." ”

The village chief originally thought that the Demon Sealing Envoy would ask him to wait here, but when he heard that he was asked to go back first, what should he do so much, he immediately greeted him with a smile, although his face was so stiff that he could hardly tell that he was smiling: "Yes...... Yes, my lord, I'll go back, and rest assured I'll take care of your horse, and make sure it's healthy when it's taken away!"

Sun Weifeng looked at the village chief's back as he walked away, and sighed, the village chief seemed to be very sure that he would be killed, but in fact, every time they were on a demon eradication mission, the demon envoys would be mentally prepared to die, whether the other party was a huge and flexible dragon or just an ordinary wolf, what they all had in common was that they all had the ability to cause death.

And now, when it comes to the moment of a decisive battle with monsters, Sun Weifeng still doesn't know what kind of monster the target is, but there is a general range in his mind: first, the target will hibernate in winter, second, the target has no fixed location, indicating that it likes to live alone, and finally, it has eaten once not long ago, and the eating method is cruel, indicating that it is huge.

At this time, the sky was already bright, about 9 o'clock, the weather was not so cold, but this place was already on the mountain, the wind was stronger, thanks to the effect of the wind, the snow on the mountain was not as thick as under the mountain, only over the shoes.

Sun Weifeng took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He took off his deerskin cloak, and the chill immediately swept over his body, and even a demon envoy like him couldn't help but shiver.

He walked to the foot of the cliff, held a protruding rock with his hand, and then slammed it in his direction. In winter conditions, both mounds and stones become harder, and often the strength of an ordinary person is not enough to break them. But even so, Sun Weifeng still had to test the hardness of the surface of the mountain, after all, he was not a steel skeleton, and once he fell off the cliff, he was afraid that he would either die or be disabled.

Sun Jiefeng eventually broke the stone, but fortunately, the hardness of the rock proved to be enough to support his weight under Sun Weifeng's verification. So, he began to climb upwards, although he was wearing tight-fitting leather armor, but this leather armor left some space at the joints and did not affect his flexibility.

After spending some time, Sun Weifeng finally climbed to the top of the cliff. Climbing the mountain is a hard job, and Sun Weifeng is still very glad that he can do some warm-up exercises before fighting monsters. However, to Sun Weifeng's disappointment, the space on the mountain was not wide, and although the entrance to the cave was clearly visible, the interior was pitch black, and it could not be stretched anywhere.

Behind Sun Weifeng is a cliff, with no more than ten pine trees on the left, and a cliff on the right, and the entrance to the cave in front. There were still mottled blood stains on the surface of the rock at the entrance to the cave that had hardened and blackened, and several rocks had obviously been knocked down by something huge later, both inside and outside, and it seemed that the target monster must be larger than the cave entrance, and considering that in such a terrain, a creature without wings would not come to this kind of place for the winter. Sun Weifeng was almost sure that it was that kind of monster, and the next step was to go inside the cave to find out!

Looking at the darkness inside the cave entrance, Sun Weifeng slowly walked towards the inside of the cave with light hands. He had to be quiet enough, for he wasn't sure if the cave's owner was dormant at the moment, and if he offended it early by his bold move, he would have put himself at a disadvantage from the start.

There is a thin layer of ice on the ground at the entrance to the cave, which means that the temperature inside the cave is higher than the outside, and this would not have been possible if there were no creatures inside.

The inside of the cave is very dark, it is almost impossible to see the five fingers, Sun Weifeng regrets not preparing a torch, it seems that next time he should think more carefully. The space inside the cave is noticeably much larger, as evidenced by the number of rocks that have been knocked off the ground. And as Sun Weifeng groped forward little by little, there was also a heavy snoring sound from the depths of the cave.

The snoring was very different from the human voice, and it was different from the sound of some animals, like the sound of a giant animal. The sound was constant, and one breath lasted for a long time, but the breathing was very regular, and the time for each sound was almost the same, but as Sun Weifeng went deeper into the cave, the movement of the voice became louder and louder.

In the end, the movement of the voice reached the maximum level, and Sun Weifeng could already be completely sure that the target was in this last space. Sun Weifeng's eyes had adapted to the darkness at this time, and he could barely see what was in this space.

I saw that there were several tools standing on the wall at the very end, some of which could be seen to be axes, and several boxes were placed next to them, most of which were in tatters, but some were still intact. There was a stump on the ground in the middle that I couldn't tell what it was, but there was always a rancid smell in the air, and there were a few rib-looking things in the middle of the stand, which looked like food scraps that the target monster had eaten, or possibly its excrement. However, although the snoring sound felt so close to Sun Weifeng, Sun Weifeng looked around and couldn't see any creatures that were heaving from breathing.

Sun Weifeng thought in his head for a moment, and then his eyes widened. He understood, he understood what kind of creature it was. After Sun Weifeng got out of the cave, he took a deep breath, he couldn't breathe normally in the cave just now, and now he must make up for it. He walked under the pine trees on the right side of the platform, swept away the thin layer of snow on the ground with his feet, and then he got down on his knees, closed his eyes, and began to take regular deep breaths, he had to keep himself calm, only by staying calm could he face the battle that was coming.

Sun Weifeng began to think back to his every move and style during training, as well as the bits and pieces of his past life. From how to hold a sword, to killing monsters with your own hands with a sword for the first time, from being an orphan to training with everyone later, starting from friends who were once alive, and now only being left alone. How many friends from the past died in training, how many friends died at the hands of monsters, and those who wanted to be free, and they ended up being just another skeleton in prison. He hated, he hated his identity, he hated the rule that only 40 years old could be free, and he hated himself who could only obey. "What are you afraid of?", Sun Weifeng asked himself, he didn't know what he was afraid of, maybe it was just obedience that became a habit.

Sun Weifeng always thinks like this, he habitually thinks like this, he needs this kind of thinking, because he needs that hatred, and it is that hatred that has supported him to this day and to his 26 years old for many years.

"It's okay", Sun Feng thought so, he pulled out his "Demon Slaying Sword" from behind his back, and then put it on the ground on his right hand, and then put his left hand on the sleeve crossbow in his right hand, and his right hand was aimed at the hole, Sun Weifeng pulled the trigger on the sleeve crossbow, and a small barrel flew into the hole.

Sun Weifeng took a deep breath and shouted "Break!", and a huge explosion immediately sounded in the mouth of the cave, and the echo reached the depths of the cave.

Then there was a scream from inside the cavern, and it was so angry and harsh. Then there was a sound like an elephant crashing around, and with the sound of crashing closer and closer, the sound of panting came closer and closer. Eventually, the rocks on the ground at the entrance to the cave were kicked out, and the rocks flew straight to the bottom of the cliff. I saw a pitch-black behemoth come out of the hole, move around and look around, and finally it saw Sun Weifeng meditating under the pine tree.

The black shadow faced Sun Weifeng, spread its wings, and let out a piercing scream again, and the snow on those pine trees was blown down, and the earth seemed to shake with it. At this time, it was noon, the sun was at its brightest, and when the black shadow spread its wings, Sun Weifeng could finally see the ugly face of the black shadow.

I saw that it was a creature with a slightly taller body than a human body, covered with black fur, and a bulging belly, even if it was howling hard at the moment, it didn't let the stomach deflat, it seemed that it had eaten not long ago, and the creature in hibernation always had to get up in a long hibernation for a while to eat, and then it entered the state of hibernation again. Looking further at the head of the torso, there were two protrusions on the left and right sides of the skull, each with an eye and a nostril, which looked like a hammerhead shark in the ocean, but covered with black hair. Underneath the monstrous head is a flat, long mouth full of fangs that bulge forward in the middle of the mouth when it screams or needs to eat. The wings attached to the sides of its torso are a pair of fleshy wings, which evolved from the forelimbs during the evolutionary process, and are composed of wing membranes connected between its slender claws, and its wingspan is more than 3 meters long.

Sun Weifeng has long thought that it is some kind of huge humpback bat monster, but it must be confirmed what kind of giant bat it is, after seeing that it is a "hammerhead bat", Sun Weifeng breathed a sigh of relief, although the vision of this giant bat can see both sides and not just see the front like most animals, but because it can't see the front, it has to swing its head to see the front, and it is precisely because it can't see the front that it will create an opportunity for Sun Weifeng, as long as it is in the blind spot of its vision, it can't see Sun Weifeng. However, bats do not rely on sight to identify directions, they rely on sound to sense directions, and if they want to have the upper hand in battle, they must first destroy their throat or ears.

After the hammerhead bat screamed, it ran towards Sun Weifeng, Sun Weifeng held the sword in his right hand and backhand, glaring angrily at the dark hammerhead bat, if the eyes can kill, then now Sun Weifeng can definitely kill a person.

The hammerhead bat swung its slender claws on its wings at Sun Weifeng. And Sun Weifeng changed his kneeling posture, his left leg was no longer kneeling, but supporting the ground with his foot, in a posture of wanting to jump. Sun Weifeng glared angrily at the eyes of the hammerhead bat, a battle in the mountains was about to begin!
