Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 205 Female Corpse

"Boss Murgin, aren't we looking for the peak where something strange has happened recently, but the unusual nature of this Zanmodaya, according to the half-orc mountain people, existed hundreds of years ago. Didn't the news released by the mercenary union say that the green dragon was injured more than a month ago and only temporarily perched on a certain mountain peak hiding here? Hundreds of years and more than a month, this time span is obviously not right!" A half-elven archer who was a hybrid of human and elf blood expressed his doubts to the dwarven man.

It turned out that the team of mercenaries had not been able to find the slightest clue about the injured green dragon after entering Zagaroni Mountain for a few days. Later, the leader of this group of mercenaries, the dwarf Great Han Murkin, took a different path and thought of going to the orc tribe in the mountains to find out if there was anything unusual about the nearby peaks. According to Murkin's thoughts, a green dragon was hidden among the nearby peaks, and it was impossible not to make a little noise. As a result, I really asked that there is a mountain peak near here that is a little strange, and the snow under the snow line of the mountain peak will not melt under the direct sunlight of the summer sun, and the peak will shine with colorful light. It's just that such strange things have existed for hundreds of years, and they obviously don't match the arrival of the green dragon more than a month ago. However, Murgin was still very curious about this, so he hired the orc mountain man Balu as a guide in the price of a pot of rye spirits, and led him and his companions to the snow peak called Zammodaya, ready to find out.

"Ageno, you stupid half-elf, you can't see Boss Murkin's obvious thoughts? The snow under the snow line of this mountain peak does not melt in summer, and it is clearly strange, especially when the sun shines on the peak, the peak will shine with colorful light, indicating that there may be some strange treasure on this peak. Even if we can't slay the dragon this time, if we can find any treasure on the top of this snowy peak, it will be worth the trip!" said the human swordsman from before.

When Agyeno heard the human swordsman call him stupid, his handsome face immediately turned red with anger, and he glared at the human swordsman and shouted, "Alex, who are you calling stupid?

"Alright, you two don't quarrel!" Murgin stopped the two of them and said, "Alex is right, this summit of Zanmodaya's Snow Peak is so weird, we must explore it." As for the female mountain god in the mouth of the half-orc mountain people, hmph, it is just the strange power of the foolish people in the mountains and fields, and the continent has not heard of miracles for thousands of years. If there was really a miracle in this Zanmodaya's Snow Peak, even if it was just a small mountain god showing a miracle, it would have alarmed the entire continent a long time ago, but there is no name here so far, how can you explain it?"

"Therefore, the female mountain god in the mouth of the half-orc mountain people is not to be believed at all!" Murgin came to a conclusion, then waved his hand and shouted: "Let's climb the mountain and see what is on this peak!"

"Yes!" the mercenaries agreed in unison, and then took out crampons, ice axes, hook ropes and other tools for mountaineering from their duffel bags. Obviously, this team of mercenaries has made some preparations for entering the mountain this time.

After everyone put on the climbing tools and fastened them, Murgin gave an order: "Let's go!" and took the lead, first threw the hook rope anchor hook tied around the waist upward, so that the anchor hook hooked a protruding mountain rock on the ice wall of the snow peak, and after finding the support point, Murgin waved the ice axe in his hand, smashed the tip of the pickaxe into the frozen cliff, and lifted it upward, and the crampons full of nail teeth on the sole of his right boot stepped on the cliff. Murgin alternately waved the ice axe in his left and right hands and began to climb towards the summit step by step

。 When he climbed to the position of the rock where the hook hook was hooked, he reached out and removed the anchor hook, and threw it upwards again, hooking a rock further above the cliff and starting a new round of climbing.

Seeing that the leaders had moved, the mercenaries immediately followed.

Under the sky, more than 100 mercenaries climbed slowly upwards on a steep and almost straight cliff at the same time, although the speed was as slow as an ant, the scene was spectacular.

Murgin was the first to climb to the top, and was amazed when he saw that there were no snow-covered rocks on the top of the peak, but a wide platform.

When he moved his gaze forward and saw a colorful ice coffin and the corpse lying in the middle of this glazed world made of white ice crystals, he was stunned.

The mercenaries in the back also climbed to the top one after another. The platform carved out of this peak was wide enough to accommodate the standing of more than 100 mercenaries, and it was not crowded. When the mercenaries saw the strange scene in front of them, they were all stunned on the spot.

"Ice ...... Who is the corpse in the ice......? Mountain goddess?" asked Agueno, bewildered.

"Fuck the mountain god, I think it's just a normal corpse! Bah, the treasure we've been looking forward to is this a dried corpse that has been dead for an unknown amount of time?" Alex exclaimed in disappointment.

Murgin frowned, not only did he fail to find the expected treasure in this place, but somehow, since he stepped on the peak, he has always been shrouded in a chill that cannot be removed. As a veteran mercenary and adventurer, Murgin has always adhered to the creed of "if you have no value, you will never risk your life", so he decisively said: "This place is strange, a place of right and wrong, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, let's remove the peak!"

Hearing Murgin say that he was going to withdraw, a mercenary mage who had been staring at the seven-colored ice coffin since he reached the top of the snow peak hurriedly spoke out to stop Murgin and said: "Boss, don't be busy withdrawing yet, this seven-colored ice used to make the ice coffin seems to be a treasure! I seem to have heard of it somewhere before! Let me think about it!"

"Really?" asked General Murkin, incredulously.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, the mage slapped his thigh with his right hand, and said in ecstasy: "Boss, we have made a fortune, we have made a fortune, I remember, this seven-colored ice is an extremely cold ice that grows in the deepest part of the bottom of the Frost Leaf Glacier' Frost Dragon Pool, called 'Rainbow Streamer', which is commonly known as 'Rainbow Ice' in the Magic Chamber of Commerce!"

"Rainbow Ice? What is this for? Is it some precious magic material?" Mulgin was born as a warrior and had never heard of this 'Rainbow Ice', but seeing that the mage was so excited, he had a guess in his heart.

The mage couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and kept nodding his head and said, "Yes, this rainbow ice is the raw material for making top-level ice-based magic scrolls and magic equipment, and only the 'Frost Dragon Pool' on the continent has only found rainbow ice, and the production is very small, this thing is very rare, it is completely priceless!"

Murkin's eyes lit up.

The mage continued to say excitedly: "Boss, this 'Frost Dragon Pool' is located in the center of the Frost Leaf Glacier, and that is the territory of the Frost Dragon, the dragon does not need magic scrolls and magic equipment for battle, although these precious rainbow ice are just chicken ribs to the Frost Dragons, they still never allow outsiders to touch, only occasionally take out a little rainbow ice reward

Bestow on them a vassal race in the Frostleaf Glacier. It is said that the largest piece of rainbow ice that the vassal races have ever gotten is only the size of a basket. This piece of colorful ice was later auctioned on the market, and it fetched a sky-high price of 500,000 gold coins. The ice coffin made of rainbow ice in front of us is estimated to be worth at least two million gold coins!"

When they heard the mage report the estimated value of the colorful ice coffin in front of them, the mercenaries' breathing almost stopped.

"II...... Two million gold coins?" Murgin asked again in disbelief.

When the mage gave him another affirmative answer, even Murkin, who had always been calm, couldn't help but shake his body and almost couldn't stand steadily.

At this time, Murgin seemed to think of something, suddenly calmed down, and frowned: "Since this ice coffin is made of rainbow ice, the rainbow ice used to make the ice coffin must be a large piece, since this rainbow ice is guarded by the frost dragon, and the frost dragons will not be so atmospheric as to take out such a large piece of rainbow ice from the 'frost dragon pool', then how can this coffin made of rainbow ice appear on this remote snow peak thousands of kilometers away from the frost leaf glacier?"

As soon as Murkin said this, the mage was stunned.

After a long silence, the mage cautiously opened his mouth to say what he had guessed in his heart: "It's difficult...... Could it be that someone stole it from the 'Frost Dragon Pool'?"

Murkin's face suddenly became difficult to look at, in fact, he also guessed this in his heart. Since others guessed the same as him, it means that the possibility that this rainbow ice was stolen is really very high.

Now the problem becomes serious!

To be able to steal rainbow ice from the territory of the Frost Dragon, and to be willing to use such a precious rainbow ice to make a coffin, just to keep a corpse immortal with the extremely cold qi contained in the rainbow ice, what kind of existence should a person with such strength and skill be?

Murgin immediately made a decision and shouted: "While there is no one here now, hurry up and transport this ice coffin down the snow peak, otherwise when the person who put this ice coffin here discovers us, we will definitely die!"

"But Boss, this ice coffin is too big for us to carry down such a steep mountain!" shouted one of the mercenaries.

Murgin glared at the man and scolded: "Stupid, don't you know that after smashing this ice coffin, you will carry the broken ice on your body and take it down the mountain?" Anyway, if such a large ice coffin is taken out for auction, the target is too obvious, and it is easy to be targeted by people with intentions, so it is better to smash this ice coffin and sell it in small pieces!" After speaking, Murgin stretched out his hand and pointed at several mercenaries who used war hammers as weapons among the mercenaries, and said: "You, you, and you, you guys go up and smash this ice coffin for me!"

The named mercenaries immediately strode towards the ice coffin placed in the center of the platform, with their war hammers in their hands.

Just as those mercenaries were about to run to the ice coffin, a beautiful colorful light curtain suddenly gushed out from under the ground, instantly drowning the mercenaries. In the brilliant light curtain, the mercenaries' bodies quickly cracked, and before they even had time to scream, the whole person disappeared, leaving no bones left.

The rest of the mercenaries were all shocked after witnessing this shocking change and exclaimed loudly.

The colorful light curtain gradually dissipated, and a magic array appeared on the ground, blocking between the mercenaries and the ice coffin.
