Cold Rock Passage - Section 9

Frostfury is a low-level elemental creature. It was three feet long and looked like a flying crystal centipede. And it moves quickly, its whole body exudes a terrifying freezing air, and it also has a pair of miserable white fangs, but its combat ability is not very strong. Their teeth can be used in medicine, and blood is one of the essential materials for copying lower-level spell scrolls.

In the Eastern Realm of Skyrim, if a young warrior wants to prove his talents, slaying a Frostwrath on his own is the most common of several choices with the appropriate difficulty.

After all, these guys don't have a very strong bite and are very sluggish in their way of moving. As long as you have a warm outfit, they won't pose much of a threat.

Alice quickly went through the above information from her brain, and then decisively sorted them into the [Non-Recyclables] section.

[Hell!]

She turned around, and the huge range of movement almost startled Jamila.

"Get in the car!we're in trouble!**Annoy!" the girl shouted with the loudest voice she could make, waving her arms.

"Huh, it's just a few Frostfury ......" The puzzled expression on Jamila's face was startled by a sudden pull before it could take shape. By the time she reacted, she had already been thrown onto the carriage by the collar by Chamak. The Redguard jumped on it.

But none of them were the fastest, for as Quinn, who was hiding under the carriage, scrambled to his feet and jumped into the driver's seat at a speed that was not at all in keeping with his stocky figure.

This guy is clever.

At this time, Yuga, who was driven by Alice in the direction of the traveler's path, had also exchanged hands with the Frostfury Spirit. It's still a long way off—at least two hundred feet. But the sound of the spell explosion could still be heard clearly.

[There is only the smell of ice in the air...... There's no way he's going to use an ice spell on the Frostwrath......]

[Is there too much of it?]

[So...... Hold us off for a while. 】

Alice stared at the other side of the passage, as if to carve into her heart the burst of light and roar. There was no pity or affection in her eyes, only an indifferent coldness, and a sense of crisis that almost condensed into substance.

The bone-piercing chill was like a sharp sword against her brow. Even in Loristed, she didn't feel such a strong sense of threat in the trap that almost killed her—she could imagine with her eyebrows that nothing good would happen to her stay.

"Let's go!" the girl jumped into the carriage. Whispered.

Her orders were well executed, and with a blow of the whip Quinn sent the two horses in stride. At this point, the other members of the Traveler sensed that something was wrong.

It's getting colder.

The whipped colt rushed forward with a spirit. It doesn't matter if it's completely dark ahead. Wild animals have the ability to avoid danger, and if they hadn't been domesticated for many years, they might have run away long ago. Rao was so, and before Alice could warn him, the two pack horses were already rubbing their hooves against the ground restlessly. And now after getting the signal, he got rid of his temperament and ran wildly!

Run, run, the faster, the better!

The horses' hooves pounded sharply against the stone slabs, and the wheels gurgled and turned.

The stone wall, which was originally a blur, could not be seen clearly under this high-speed movement. The flares on both sides of the carriage burned violently, and the fluttering tongues of fire were almost pulled at right angles by the wind. But it remained immortal under the care of Jamila and Chamak.

The limit of what can be seen is only thirty feet. And Quinn's vision is even worse.

But now, he is the only one who can drive.

Alice pressed her sword and stood quietly at the end of the carriage. Silently gazing at the wriggling darkness.

[That idiot wizard, maybe he thought he could do it?]

[That's right, if it's just one or two, ten or twenty, I won't put it in my eyes. But ......]

Alice's ears twitched.

Just now, a particularly violent spell explosion reached her ears. The fear and despair contained in the grand sound wave were clearly expressed. The meaning of what it represents is self-evident.

Yuga is dead.

His superior spell scroll didn't save his life. He hadn't even been able to pull down enough Frostfury to back him - maybe it was just a change or restoration scroll, maybe he was just bluffing, maybe ...... He couldn't even activate the scroll.

Alice's heartfelt expectation of the truth was not the last she had guessed. Even though...... The probability of that possibility is the highest, and the same is true.

There may be a thousand Frostfury Spirits in the wake of that.

"Oh my God, are we in the Frostfury Lair?" Jamila said in disbelief, pinching her face.

She didn't see a single Frostfury in her field of vision. After all, the torch stuck in the carriage can provide that far vision. But the thin and dense sound of ice cracking still came through the dark curtains, giving her goosebumps.

"Perhaps. Chamak replied in a deep voice, "These creatures should have been sleeping under the tunnel. It must have been that the noise from our previous battle was so loud that it woke them up from the bottom of the crevice. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to chase us from behind. ”

The wind was rolling on top of the bumpy carriage that was moving at full speed. Even when they were so close, the sound was a little choppy.

"I count, I know why, no caravan dares to go in the cold rock passage!" Jamila said with a wry smile: "This kind of thing...... Hey, carriage, can't you go any faster!" she shouted to Quinn, who was driving.

Before she could finish her words, Quinn began to cry out in agony. "My, Miss. This is already, the fastest!"

The merchant looked at the two horses pulling the cart with great pain, and ran at this speed, and in half an hour the two horses would be ruined!

At this moment, the quiet voice of the maiden of Sirodil came from the rear of the carriage.

"It's coming. ”

A long strip of light color suddenly skimmed through the darkness. The sound of cracking ice is mixed with the wheels turning, making it difficult to tell.

Alice's pupils shrank suddenly.

Chop!

The air a foot and a half in front of the girl exploded violently, shattered ice crystals flew everywhere, and the transparent blood of the elemental creature spread outward in a radial shape, and in the blink of an eye, it coagulated into a sharp ice thorn flower.

Victory in the first battle.

However, before the girl could breathe a sigh of relief, a second round of attacks followed.

And this time, there are six Frostfury Spirits!

[Really, can't you let me live in peace?]

The sword in her hand burst into flames, and with a swing of her might, a bright flame of light swept by.

'Hupong-'

The first three exploded directly. The rest of the Frostfury Spirits were also severely damaged by the flames. Their color became dull, and the front parts were missing, and in the blink of an eye, they were thrown into the darkness by the carriage and disappeared.

[No Vital ...... Is it?】

The girl's brow furrowed slightly. The magic of the metal was running at full strength, repairing the tiny faults caused by the burning of the elven longsword, and all the parameters were fed back into the depths of his mind.

[With all my strength, I can probably use the magic sword fifteen times.] But the sword was only enough to last seven more times at most. 】

[Something else has to be done.] 】

She thought, the sword in her hand not staggering. Even the seemingly endless Frostfury Spirits leaping out of the darkness didn't make her sword deviate in the slightest.

The mighty slay it, and the weak repel it. If it gathers together, it will be completely destroyed with the sword of fire entanglement!

The carriage was galloping rapidly, and everyone had to stick to their posts. Driving Quinn can not travel cuò, the flare at both ends of the lighting can not be blown out. Then, the only one who can stop the frostfury spirit is Alice.

And her power is not endless.

Just now, a severed Frostfury Spirit passed through her sword curtain and bit her left arm.

The wound was not very severe, and the blood had already coagulated at extremely low temperatures before it could flow out. And the lucky Frostfury was torn to pieces by Alice. Turned into an insignificant member of the dozens of icethorn flowers in the passage.

But it was still a signal, one that made the Frostfurry even more excited.

A beast is a beast, even if it is an elemental creature, how can anyone be willing to give up casually after seeing blood?

They grew in number and strength, and even a few of the Frostfury had turned a translucent crimson - it was supposed to be Yuga's blood.

If this continues, there will be big problems. Even if Alice was able to stop all of the Frostfury that attacked the rear of the carriage, they could bypass her, attack the side of the carriage, attack the ponies, and even attack Quinn driving the carriage. And once the carriage stopped, a dead end awaited the travelers.

The task of caring for the torch has long been the sole responsibility of Jamila. Chamak picked up Bymon's shortbow and overpowered the elemental creatures in the distance with a rain of arrows that were less precise but as fierce as a storm. And Quinn no longer cherished his horses, and whipped them like crazy, even if they beat the horses to a blur of flesh and blood, they had to squeeze out the last of their strength.

However, the effect is limited.

The horses gasped, sweat mixed with blood and fell to the ground in large drops. They also know that their lives are in danger, and they know that stopping is a dead end. But that doesn't mean they're going to be able to stay at full speed all the time.

However, the number of Frostfury Spirits has not decreased in the slightest.

Maybe two hundred, maybe five hundred, maybe even thousands.

There were only four of them, and only two of them were able to fight.

[This doesn't work......]

She glanced at her surroundings, and as far as the eye could see, there were only one dark stone wall after another.

Wait!she'll be able to see the stone wall from here!?

Doesn't that mean......

[The passage is getting narrow!?]

[Then ......]

The girl raised her hand, and a long-prepared fireball spell instantly cleared a large gap in the array of frost fury. Although this gap was filled by more frostfury spirits in the blink of an eye. But it bought her a little time.

She took a step back.

"Block it for me. Alice exclaimed.

Before he could finish speaking, Chamak threw down his short bow and slashed the two Frostfury Spirits to pieces with a single stride. Behind him, Alice, who had inserted her sword into the plank, also held her hands empty, and a huge amount of magical energy immediately converged in the gap between her hands.

【Retrieving Model ......】

A Frostfury flew through the side, and Jamila threw a bone sword and nailed to the edge of the railing. Bursting ice chips flew everywhere.

【Conception Rune ......】

Ice flowers suddenly erupted from Chamak's side, and he received a blow on the right side of the waist, bursting with some blood foam, and the attacker was reduced to pieces in the next moment.

【Bootstrapping...... Correction ......】

The galloping carriage slammed into a stumbling motion, and even the girl who controlled the magical power stumbled. One elemental creature after another shattered under the Redguard's twin swords, and the wounds on his body grew.

"How much longer!!" Chamak shouted.

In response to him was a short word.

"Get out of the way!"

He jerked sideways, and the scorching jet grazed Chamak's shoulder. Crimson pillars of flame spewed straight into the Frostwrath's collection and firmly attached to the ground, expanding, absorbing, and turning into a blazing wall of flames.

High-level Destruction Miè Spell: Wall of Fire!

The Frostfury let out a shrill cry as they attempted to continue their path through the wall of fire. Alice, however, controlled the trajectory of the flame jets, and with a few diagonal strokes, several flame barriers that completely cut off the passage firmly blocked them out.

These are mana flames, and they are able to support at least five minutes before the spell fails.

And the distance that can be opened in these five minutes is enough for these frostfurious spirits, who are not very sensitive, to give up this chase.

It is impossible for them to be away from the nest for long.

Twenty minutes later, the vigilant travelers failed to notice any signs of being followed.

They escaped.
