Chapter Twenty-Four: The Little Apple.
The whiteness of the Karanras mountain was dazzling, knee-high snow covered the slopes, and as soon as you stepped into it, you would sink into your shoes and pants, and even if the hem of the pants was tied up, the snow would still pour into your feet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The pants were gradually melted by the ice and snow *** moisture that melted due to body temperature, and slowly stretched upwards, and in the end, everyone below the thighs was wet and cold. Fortunately, the physical fitness of these people present far exceeds that of ordinary people, and they can endure such cold for a while.
Zheng Zha is the most carefree of the crowd, the skeleton war horse will not let him fall into the snow at all, no matter how steep the terrain is, it is like walking on the ground, so the people who are wrapped in wet pants on their legs are basically looking at Zheng Zha's horse with envy. Zheng Zhe was embarrassed by that look, and jumped around with the reins of the horse, constantly wandering on the cliff.
Zhang Jie was much more low-key, he rode the skeleton war horse in southern Sunan, and silently followed the back of the team, while Zhan Lan walked in the middle of the team, including Chu Xuan, and also walked in the middle of the team.
There is Zheng Zhe in front to explore the way, and the back is protected by a capable and not weak veteran, and the rest of the people are walking on the side, which is almost an unwritten rule.
“…… Come on, everyone! Look what I found! When Zheng Zha was patrolling, he suddenly shouted in surprise, and suddenly everyone looked at him nervously, but everyone's expressions were a little weird.
They are separated by several valleys.
Zheng Zha also came back to his senses and said loudly: "Here...... I found bodies here, twelve in all, all frozen into popsicles. Thankfully, there wasn't much snow here, so we didn't bury them all......"
Gandalf didn't care, and said: "Maybe it's a medicine collection team, there is a snow lotus on the top of the snow mountain, some wizards spend a lot of money to buy this kind of medicinal material, because there are snow wolves in the vicinity, so it is usually a team of people who gather to collect medicine, those people may have encountered a snowstorm before collecting medicine, and they all died of cold there." ”
Zheng Zhe's face was pale, and he jumped in the air on the skeleton war horse, and jumped straight to everyone's side from a distance. He whispered to the rest of the reincarnation team veterans, "They...... They were dressed in our clothes, and they saw that their wounds were killed with sharp weapons! ”
Zhang Jie rode a war horse at the end of the line, muttering to himself with his eyes closed.
In his consciousness, there seemed to be silence for a while, and then a voice affirmed: "East American Squad." "[Relying on the induction between the Yatsuga Mirror and Kagura Chizuru]
"How do you know?"
Sunan, who was on the other end of consciousness, rubbed his forehead in distress, and suddenly felt that Zhang Jie's IQ seemed to be completely offline. Even if they don't know the original book, now they have three teams there, Adam of the Celestial God Team is in his hands, and his members obviously can't catch up for a while, of course, that stunned Qingluo Yinglong may have already arrived, but he is afraid that he will not be able to act, and the rest will only be the East American team.
Sure enough, Neos, who was not far away, was very sure: "It can't be the Celestial Squad, after all, the captains of all the teams have joined the Celestial Squad, and its number is only more than ten people, and there are already twelve people dead here, even if there are people from the Celestial Squad who die here, then most of them are definitely the East American Squad, and in such a big world, it is almost impossible to let two randomly appearing teams collide within a few days, so I guess that those twelve people are all members of the East American team." ”
If Adam of the Celestial Squad knew this, the other party would definitely cry and say, there were nineteen people in our Celestial Squad at its peak, okay!
Chu Xuan shook his head and reminded loudly: "Although the Celestial Squad is a collective team of all captains, after the second captain's authority of each squad is determined, will they no longer receive the voice of the main god's prompt of 'Do you want to join the Celestial Squad'?" Necessarily not. But your analysis is correct, this is indeed the East American team. ”
[The setting here was modified by me, as mentioned in the original book, the clone Zheng Zhe alone resisted the attack of 8 members of the Celestial Squad, according to Neos's thinking, the Celestial Squad only had Adam and another member left (I think it is the strongest combat power Song Tian), then in terms of the wisdom of the clone Chu Xuan, with the clone Zhao Fukong, Ming Yanwei and others, and the existence of people with spiritual abilities, he actually let Adam save the Celestial Team with his wits and escape? You know, the Celestial Gods don't have mental abilities. So, this is obviously unreasonable. 】
Neos was a little unconvinced: "Although what you said is true, but how do you think ......?"
Zhang Jie, who was at the end of the team, looked at Neos and Chu Xuan again, shook his head with a smile, and asked in his heart, "How is it over there?" ”
This time, after a while, a voice came from the other side: "Ah, I'm in a little trouble." I won't tell you first, it's not a big problem, Zheng Zhe's side, you appease him, don't let him do stupid things. ”
Zhang Jie touched his nose and smiled bitterly, raised his head, and heard that not far away, Neos had summarized.
"Unfortunately, we better pray that our three teams don't fight with the East American team, otherwise most of us may die in battle, the East American team is not an internal power struggle, but their own veterans have all killed the newcomers, and they have more newcomers than any of our three teams......"
"I even suspect that these twelve people are all veterans, in other words, the 'Lord God' thinks that only three veterans are better than any of our three teams, and the three members of that team can only be described as unfathomable."
Gunnier on the side interjected in time: "The East American team is like this, I really don't know what the Celestial Team will be like." ”
Zhang Jie sneered and didn't explain.
Although everyone was very uneasy, the group of three teams was still on the road, and continued to climb up the mountain road, and the snow was getting more and more.
As the walking time got longer, gradually, the mountain road became steeper, and there was a snowstorm all around, everyone carefully leaned against the mountain wall, except for Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie, who were not affected at all, the rest of them were affected in the face of such a natural might, and the speed of the team was getting slower and slower.
The snow was waist-high, and any higher it would have been dangerous for the dwarves and hobbits.
At that moment, a majestic sound began to spread from the air, and it was the voice of an elderly man chanting a mantra, which was difficult to understand, but it seemed very melodic.
"That's Saruman!" Gandalf immediately roared loudly, and as he roared, the solemn voice suddenly became clear, and it resounded throughout the mountains as if it were the voice of a god or a giant.
The spell of the wizard Saruman brought about a blizzard that was not unexpected.
But he didn't expect the power of the spell to be so great, it was originally just a blizzard and a thunderbolt fell from the air, and dozens of meters away from Zheng Zha, there was a violent explosion there, followed by a second thunderbolt, and a third thunderbolt...... Dense thunder and lightning fell like rain.
Gandalf also recited the incantation, forming a shield to fend off Saruman's attack spell.
The power is simply terrifying.
Not to mention Zheng Zha, even Zhang Jie felt frightened.
Nothing is more powerful than the power of nature, and the veterans, though powerful, are confined to a certain range. Here, however, there are wizards who can manipulate thunder and lightning and snowstorms! If it weren't for the fact that the lightning had attacked a large area and not just landed on them, they would have all died here, even with Gandalf's protection! Maybe only you can survive......
When the last lightning blasted on the snowy mountain, everyone opened their eyes and saw that the mountain road they were standing on had been completely buried by the falling snow rocks, Gandalf's protective shield blocked these snowy rocks, and the places without protective shields around them had been destroyed beyond recognition, especially the section of the road up the mountain, which was bombarded into pieces by lightning and lightning, and everyone had no way up the mountain except for the broken road to the bottom of the cliff.
As a result, naturally, after discussion among the characters, they decided to return to the Moriath Tunnel and walk through it to prevent another attack by the Saruman Wizard.
There is a long way to get from Mount Karranras to the Moriath Tunnel, which will take at least a few days in between. For the past few days, everyone's spirits have been extremely tense, firstly to guard against Saruman's scouting crows, and secondly, to prevent the magic that could fall at any time, even though Gandalf repeatedly declared that no more magic could fall, but everyone still could not relax. Although Gandalf can guarantee Saruman, can he guarantee that the Lord God will not make things difficult for him?
Saruman's magic in the movie isn't so perverted! The Ringwrath isn't so perverted!
……
……
The other side.
"Apple, are you done talking to your teammates?" The long-haired man looked at the two in front of him with a smile, and the dagger in his hand flipped from time to time. Although this person looked smiling, the coldness in his eyes made Sunan can't help but wonder what he had experienced.
"Zhao Fukong, why do you call me Little Apple?" Sunan rubbed his forehead in distress, his whole body was also on guard, and he couldn't help but think about it in his heart. In the original book, there is no mention of Zhao Fukong's actions at this time, but at this moment, he appeared in front of himself and Kagura Chizuru, which convinced him that he had entered infinity until now, and the butterfly's wings had finally begun to stir.
"You know my name is Zhao Fukong." The long-haired man licked the dagger in his hand and smiled: "Sure enough, as rumored by other squads, you have the potential to be picked by me, you must know that you of the demon team have really grown to the point where you can pick them." ”
