After half a day of nervous travel, coupled with the fact that they were almost killed in an avalanche, everyone was already a little tired both mentally and physically. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After entering the Icefield Village, Asuna asked the rest of the team to camp on the flat ground and set up a windbreak tent, while she personally led two guards to "talk" with the NPCs.

Of course, their conversation is just a conversation set up in the system.

"Captain Chen Xiao, you are really leisurely and elegant, aren't you afraid that you will go back tonight without a tent and sleep in the wilderness?"

After Asuna asked a few NPCs to no avail, she happened to meet Chen Xiao who came to inquire in an igloo.

has been deflated many times, which makes her arrogant, and she always can't help but want to anger Chen Xiao verbally and make him ugly.

"No way, who called me popular, my team members were the first to help me build it." Chen Xiao shrugged his shoulders from inside, and didn't look back when he heard Asuna's voice.

And the two guards behind Asuna touched their noses after hearing Chen Xiao's reply, and their expressions were also a little strange.

Good popularity?

If we don't have any equipment and experience like you, let alone pitch a tent, I'm afraid we will even have someone to wash our feet at night!

"The villagers here are all hunters, and they are of little value, so you can stay here if you want to spend time here!"

Asuna snorted and turned to leave.

"Not necessarily, it's just that you're not really talking to them." Chen Xiao's voice came over again, making Asuna stunned.

I couldn't help but turn my head and look inside carefully, and saw Chen Xiao and a young man inside, but the NPC's expression was not too old-fashioned, but a little excited......

"I'd like to see what kind of heart is used!" When Asuna was about to get in, Chen Xiao walked out with the NPC.

Unlike the rest of the NPCs wrapped in animal skins and bearded faces, the NPC in front of him is quite handsome, with an iron sword with a rusty scabbard hanging from his waist.

"Let's go back to the camp, it just so happens that we need your help in this matter." Chen Xiao's complexion was not very good-looking, and he was also a little gloomy.

"Can he ......" Asuna looked at the NPC, and before she could say the words that she doubted later, Chen Xiao had already led him to the camp outside the snow village.

They were accompanied by several young men who came out of the nearby igloo.

"This bastard, do you think he's the head of the regiment?"

Asuna stomped her foot and chased after her, but she was very curious, how could a group of NPCs leave their position and go with a player?

……

Return to camp.

Because it was in the ice field, the ordinary bonfire in the camp could not be lit at all, and at this time, it was only possible to barely cook the dry food by relying on the mage to continuously use fire magic from the side.

"Captain Asuna, you're back." Her deputy, Cladeer, and the Big Nose President of the Holy Dragons Federation were patrolling the camp.

After seeing Asuna and the others returning, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Of course, when Kladier saw Chen Xiao, his expression was still a little unkind, especially after Chen Xiao showed his might just now and saved the whole team, which made him even more jealous.

"Well, what's going on with Deputy Head Ye Zixuan in the east? Any news? Asuna asked as she walked at the front.

"Not yet, but according to the investigation, there was also a violent avalanche on their side in the afternoon, and now the team channel seems to be disturbed by something and cannot be contacted." Kratir reported truthfully.

"It's really weird...... Asuna frowned, the team channel was missing, this was a situation that had never happened in any layer before, and since the inexplicable avalanche this afternoon, there was an air of conspiracy.

"Deputy Commander, ALF's Sinka Commander is waiting for you in the tent to discuss the next route, who are these?" Kraidier and the Holy Dragon President looked at the people dressed as NPCs behind Chen Xiao and asked with some curiosity.

"They? I don't know, you can ask Captain Chen Xiao! Asuna had already walked to the largest tent in the center, and after half-opening it, she frowned and looked at Chen Xiao:

"Chen Xiao, the next meeting is above the captain level, do you want to bring these NPCs in?"

"Why not? They have important information. Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Asuna.

"Hubris, Deputy Head Asuna, he's just a captain! The rank is not as high as mine! Kladier was furious, but when he saw Chen Xiao exposing the blade in his right hand intentionally or unintentionally, he was a little timid.

Last time, he had limited influence in the meeting, but if he was beaten by Chen Xiao again in front of so many people, he really didn't have the face to stay in the Blood Alliance Knights anymore.

"Lord Knight Kladier's words are a bit biased, in case Captain Chen Xiao really finds out, after all, his strength ......" The big nose leader's eyes rolled, and he smiled to speak for Chen Xiao.

He is very aware of the current situation.

"Forget it, forget it. Let them in, they're NPCs anyway, and I'm going to see what he can ask us about what we can't! ”

Looking at the look of anticipation and excitement on the face of the handsome NPC, Asuna felt a pang of anxiety in her heart, waved her hand, and entered the tent.

NPCs will also have feelings, what are you kidding?!

Everyone entered the tent, there was no seating, only a rectangular table, on which was a stereoscopic projection of the 40-story map, and there were already several captains pointing there.

"Captain Andrew, let's introduce the map."

Asuna stopped everyone's greetings and asked directly and resolutely.

"Snow Hill is far bigger than we thought, we're here now, it's called Icefield Village, and there are several NPC strongholds like this around the Tower of the Center." The middle-aged knight with a national character face and a heroic appearance said that, he pointed out those locations on the map.

Chen Xiao saw that everyone was still half an arm's length away from the central tower at the moment, and if it was converted into an actual distance, according to the speed of everyone, there would be at least more than a day to travel.

There seems to be some undulations and folds in it, which are the hallmarks of hills and low mountains.

"There's only one way into the tower, right? Does the map show any notable monsters? Asuna looked at the map and didn't look up.

Looking at her focused side face, Chen Xiao suddenly thought of Asami in the Apocalypse, and he hadn't been in contact with her for many days, and he didn't know what the situation was over there.

"Yes, at least tomorrow there is only one way, and the labyrinth is in the area near the tower." The middle-aged captain paused, seemed to think for a moment before continuing:

"As for the monsters...... The boss on the 40th floor is the Frost Dragon, and the only ones in the wild are the Ice Monster and the Frost Wolf...... None of this is a threat to us. ”

"In this way, we can relax along the way, and when we meet the tower and the regimental leader, we can sit back and relax, right?" Asuna's expression was a little sarcastic.

The expressions of the "......" were a little embarrassed, but the ice and snow were confused, and they really couldn't get too much information.

"No, it won't! The front is dangerous! ”

The several NPCs who were following Chen Xiao suddenly shouted in unison!
