Chapter 21: The Lady with a Sigh (21)

The weather has been getting colder lately. Since we saw snowflakes not long ago, it seems that snow is not uncommon these days. And what is often accompanied by those falling snowflakes is the cold wind. We don't have any problems with such cold winds, and Reading and Firestorm don't seem to be so comfortable.

In fact, Reading is slightly better, because Reading's physique seems to have improved to a certain extent after just recovering. I thought about it carefully, and it may have something to do with the food we ate in that small village. Although there is still some difference between Reading and a normal middle-aged male, there seems to be no problem with hurrying. On the other hand, Firestorm seems destined to prefer heat to cold. As the snowflakes fell from the sky, the firestorm began to sneeze, and now the snow was getting heavier and heavier, freezing the firestorm's face red. Gradually, he also came to the back of us. "I think I can salvage it. ”

I glanced back at Firestorm, which was almost always slowly moving, and laughed helplessly. "If you're really uncomfortable, let Banksy treat you. ”

Who knew that Fire Storm stubbornly shook his head: "Fart, I, I'm a famous Fire Storm, I was also the king of a country before, how could I be cowardly enough to rob an old man of a nanny." You guys, you just have to slow down a little bit so that I can barely get better. Ah, damn it, damn weather!"

"Who said I was a babysitter!" Banksy patted Firestorm lightly in annoyance, and it was this slap that made Firestorm stumble. He almost fell to the ground.

It's a little hard to believe. How is it that the current state of Firestorm has become so weak? It seems that there is no way, now it seems that there is only rest. But is it really good to rest here? Now that it's a snowy field, it's only possible to get colder and colder if you continue to stay here.

"Ma'am, the terrain here is characterized by a relatively rugged mountainous terrain, and if I am not mistaken, there should be a cave nearby. Most of these caves are animal nests. “

I tilted my head to look at Reading and knew what he meant. "You mean, we can find a cave and light torches for us to rest?"

Reading coughed deliberately, pretending to tremble, and said, "Madam, you see, I'm an old man, so my physique is not very good." So I need to take a good break. “

"Old man, you。。。。。。 Firestorm subconsciously said a word, but did not continue. How did Firestorm not know that Reading was doing good for him, after all, he was a young man, and it was not Firestorm's style to take the initiative to show weakness. So he just glanced at Reading gratefully and stopped talking. But he was a little faster. I don't know if it's because he's suddenly less afraid of the cold now or because Reading is touching for him to cover him.

Wait, something is wrong. Something isn't right.

I stopped, sniffing back at something. And my action made the others a little confused.

"It smells of blood. ”

Tie Shan's tone became cold in an instant: "The smell of blood? Well, those who helped us not long ago are likely to have been killed by now." “

I nodded, and said to Banksy with a solemn face, "Banksy, we need you now, do you remember the kind of horse you made with that 'divine power' when we first met?"

Banks nodded, and asked suspiciously, "I don't usually use that ability myself, it's not too hard to use that, and now we can make that kind of horse for each of us." But... ”

"But what?"

"However, while it doesn't take much of my ability to make something like that, if I make something like this for each of us, then my divine power will be almost consumed. Banks continued: "In that case, I will have at least two days of weakness, and during those two days of weakness, I will only be a burden to you. And.... ”

"And what?" I was a little impatient, was she worried that we would leave her?" ”

Banksy smiled a little embarrassedly, "No, I didn't mean that, I'm not worried that you'll leave me." What I'm trying to say is that if I use all my divine power, then I can keep our horses up for half a day, not a little more. So we need to hurry. ”

There was a sudden tremor in the snow, something I didn't like to see. Because the shaking of this magnitude only means that the attackers are about to catch up with me. I yelled at Banksy anxiously, "Hurry up, we need to go right away!

Banksy didn't have the slightest reason, and with a wave of his hand, a dark yellow steed appeared in front of each of us. Unlike the horses I've seen Banksy before, the colors are slightly darker, but they're more realistic. Approaching the dull yellow horse, I could even hear the snort of the imaginary created horse.

As soon as he got on the horse, he sped forward, and unexpectedly, it looked like it was galloping, and the horse's hooves were waving rhythmically, but in fact he was just hovering in mid-air. So I didn't feel any bumps. It seems that this so-called divine power still has a little effect. "Banksy, you're following the Firestorm, but don't forget Reading. Iron Mountain, does your armor have an effect on your speed?"

It doesn't seem to have any effect, because Iron Mountain is about the same speed as me, and he's already at the front. I could only vaguely hear his voice: "Don't worry, no problem, ma'am." I'm a pioneer, and if something goes wrong, I'll let you know as soon as possible. ”

"Good. I nodded: "Then, just my highness." Banksy, you must pay attention to the situation of the two of them, we can't give up on any of them! I'm following you, you have to run as soon as possible!"

With these horses made of divine powers, we are indeed moving much faster than before. And it's also very smooth, and you don't feel any bumps on it at all. So the speed was much faster than usual, and I can even say that these particular horses were almost as fast as the flying beasts we had ridden before. What's more, these horses seem to have a little bit of healing. Because after riding these horses, Firestorm didn't feel cold, and Reading didn't want to vomit from dizziness like before.

So I didn't have to worry about anything else, but now we were getting faster and faster, and finally we found a cave before it got dark.

Somewhat surprisingly, the cave looked like a beast's cave, but as we approached, a large beast suddenly emerged from the dark cave.

"This is a mountain bear, endemic to the province of Popang, a ferocious carnivorous animal. After seeing me mercilessly shoot this beast that had been called Brother Shan's corpse with an arrow, I was stunned and said, "Well, this beast is more like a beast to you... Food... ”

It turned out that before Reading could finish his sigh, Firestorm had already roasted the beast, and very simply tore off a large piece of breast and leg meat from the delicate corpse of the mountain bear and ate it. And while eating, he said deliciously: "It's very good, but there is no salt." If there were spices, it would definitely taste even better. ”

Banksy was the second to try these foods, and unsurprisingly, Banks became immediately obsessed with them. In the eyes of those of us who are hungry, there is no need to care about whether it is clean or not. As long as you can manage your fill, it's already good. Iron Mountain chuckled muffled, and then dragged the mountain bear's carcass into the cave. "Aren't you afraid to attract those hunters when you eat here?"

Hunters, naturally, are those attackers. What Tie Shan said still has some truth, and the corpse of such a heavy mountain bear can only be dragged into it by a physique like Tie Shan.

Walking into the cave, it was a dark place, and the ground was a little soft, which could keep us warm to a certain extent.

"These must be the carcasses of the prey that the mountain bear has captured. Look, there is basically no meat here, which shows that this mountain bear will not spare even a little minced meat of its prey. "Reading picked something up from the ground, and when I looked closely, it was supposed to be the animal's fur. "These furs are a great source of warmth, hey, Firestorm, don't light any more fires. Otherwise, we may be exposed. ”

"Okay, okay. Firestorm was angry with the flames that were about to be ignited, and he didn't understand such things, so he simply continued to eat bear meat.

Now Firestorm's physical strength should have been greatly recovered, so he can use his special ability as freely as before. As for Banksy, it's a bit of a please.

"What's wrong?" I asked curiously, only to see Banksy excitedly say to me, "Ma'am, I found that my divine power has recovered somewhat!"

"Didn't you say that after making those horses just now, you didn't have much divine power left?" And I distinctly remember Banksy saying that the horses had used up the divine power stored in her body. But now she says that she has recovered some of her powers, and it seems that this must have something to do with the bear meat they ate.

I didn't expect this bear meat to be able to recover its strength? This is indeed a good thing. I also tore open a piece of bear meat and ate it, well, not to mention that it tastes really good. And when I swallowed the bear meat in my stomach, my stomach was filled with a warm current. I don't know what these warm currents are, but I guess that's why Banksys has regained his abilities and Firestorm isn't as afraid of the cold as he used to be.

After eating the bear meat again, Banks jumped up and walked to the entrance of the cave, and after whispering something, he waved his hands towards the mouth of the cave, only to see that the hole was shrouded in a dull yellow light. And when we looked outside, the view became blurred. "What is this?"

Banks chuckled and said to me, 'It's a simple barrier, but it doesn't do much to protect me. But if we don't make much noise in this hole, then the pursuers won't be able to see us from outside. ”

I was shocked, how could there be such a thing? Immediately I got up and went to the outside of the cave, and when I looked towards the cave, I found that I could not find the entrance of the cave! All around me looked like the same scenery and terrain, all covered with snow. I wanted to tell where they were by smell, but the snow hindered my sense of smell to some extent, well, now I believe it. "Where are you, I really can't find the entrance to the cave. ”

Banksy smiled and pulled me in. "Well, this is also a type of divine power, and now I think you should not be so prejudiced against divine power. “

Perhaps, this divine power has surprised me not once or twice. And I have to say that the effect this time is not the same. Back in the cave, Redding looked at me in the color of his inquiry, and after receiving my affirmative answer, he relaxed, stretched, piled the furs on the floor into a simple bed, and rested. It seemed that after a long journey, the old man Reading was still feeling a little tired. Firestorm also learned in a good way, but he didn't pile up any fur, just lying on the ground without any scruples, regardless of how hard the rubble on the ground was.

"Let's take a break, we haven't slept much in the past few days. I sat down at the entrance of the cave and whispered to them, it was getting a little dark. This is a precursor to the coming night. Indeed, they all need to get a good rest. Banks also lay down near Reading, and because Reading had kindly helped her build a comfortable bed. As for Tieshan, he didn't sleep, but sat quietly at the entrance of the cave like me, quietly looking outside.

"You don't sleep?"

Tie Shan shook his head: "I'm used to it, my physique is okay, I don't need much rest, and safety is the most important thing." ”
