This is a beautiful and heroic woman. 「」

Her long, thick brown hair was tied behind her, the light green quiver behind her exuded faint magical fluctuations, and a half-human-tall longbow was already attached to an arrow.

The woman lowered her figure in the run, her slender legs looked more vigorous than the semale on the grassland, she looked back, her emerald green eyes were full of color.

Anxious, frightened, fixed her appearance in the moment before death-

It's an ice sculpture, an ice sculpture with a dead man in it.

"The third."

Different from the two ice cubes they saw blooming in place before, the ice cubes that sealed the woman were like a long ice flower frozen on the branches, and the woman was frozen at the end of the ice cubes, separated from the outside world by only a thin layer of ice walls, making her face very clear, lifelike like a living person, as if she could break through the ice in the next second.

Others can fully imagine such a picture:

The female archer vigilantly stretched her bow and walked on the snow, and when she accidentally triggered the trap on the ground, she made the fastest reaction in an instant, but unfortunately she was only one line behind, and at the last second of her escape, she was wrapped in the ice pillar that was chasing from behind, and became the lifelike ice sculpture in front of Lin An and them. 「」

"Lena, didn't you find out a long time ago?"

Different from the long icicles in front of them, the first two icicles bloomed on the spot, reaching as high as five or six zhang, and one by one the prisms wrapped the deceased deeply in the middle, although everyone paid attention when they passed, they did not realize the mystery.

Because they had already entered the area above the snow line of the mountain where the Colorful Demon Source was located.

At such a close distance from the Demon Source, the energy radiation of the countless elements converging reached its maximum, not only making it impossible for ordinary creatures to survive here. It also distorts the laws of nature, making many scenes that are difficult to see from the outside world become commonplace here. Everywhere.

They just thought that these ice cubes were one of them.

Lin An was the only one who looked a little wrong when he saw the ice pillar for the first time, and when he saw it for the second time, he was still lingering under the ice pillar for a while.

Now that I think about it, before seeing the third ice pillar, Lin An was probably the only one among them who had discovered the clue.

Everyone looked at Lin An, and the cold of the mountains seemed to have penetrated into their bodies, making everyone's faces look as cold and severe as the temperature.

"I just, smell death. Until I see this icicle, I'm not sure if it's a groundless conjecture. 「」”

Lin An's hand in his sleeve stroked Titi. Tell the reason with reservations, and then explain the reason that was not said to the others.

No one can say anything about her rhetoric.

Because the prophecy system, the necromancy system, and even several other departments all have spells with similar effects that can smell the so-called "breath of death", the field of magic is vast and boundless, and the term "breath of death" seems perfunctory, but for others, it is impossible to guess whether Lin An is a pretext or not.

No one wants to delve into this at a time like this.

The hike was inevitably disrupted, and eight people stayed in place.

The condition of the ice cube must be checked. At least know if it's man-made or natural. Otherwise, it is difficult to ensure that the rest of the trip can be passed safely.

But before that, they have one more trouble that they have to solve first.

"The guy with the back, do you want to get rid of it?" Joshua asked the others. His patmo, with his long beak tucked under his wings on his shoulder, seemed to be uncomfortable with the freezing temperatures.

"Those two guys are still in the back?" Aibo was quick talked, not realizing that he had accidentally revealed his own truth. 「」

Lin An remained silent.

The three of them, face and heart, have their own methods of detecting the environment:

Joshua used his Patmo's eyes in the air;

Lin An relied on Titi's plant perception;

And among Nicholas's group, Nicholas is the only mage, Lin An guessed that he might be using things like the bugs he raised, and now from Aibo's words, her guess is very accurate.

- Nicholas's "eyes" are obviously useless, unless he happens to have "eyes" that can survive in the cold environment of the high mountains, but Lin An guesses that it is unlikely, because if Nicholas is really a member of the Holy Empire, the insects and ants cultivated in that kind of warm and humid area are already considered tenacious if they do not die quickly in this environment.

Lin An's plant perception is actually completely useless, because after reaching above the snow line, the plants gradually become extinct, and occasionally there are one or two hardy plants, which have no effect on her.

Similar to the ice field and alpine environment, the perception of plants is absolutely restrained, and Lin An feels as if he is back on the ice field - I believe that others feel the same way.

Patmo is actually quite restricted, the high-altitude currents are violent, and it is not suitable for flying, but Patmo's adaptability and vitality are a little stronger, and Lin An believes that Nicholas has the same envy for this as she does. 「」

"They dare to stay behind us, I really think we can't catch them! Deal with those two guys first, I don't want to be here before, there aren't so many places for them to hide. ”

Aibo clasped his fingers together, slowly twisted his wrist to make a gurgling sound, and said with a sneer.

Soon after they climbed the mountain, Joshua, Lynn, and Nicholas noticed that there were people in the distance.

The three of them have their own advantages and disadvantages in their detection methods, and as soon as they exchanged information, they immediately became clear about the number and general strength of the other party.

Both are warriors.

The other party seems to regard them as pathfinders, and they are quite bold, knowing that this practice is taboo, but they still dare to provoke their group with the strength of two people.

Of course, it is impossible for the eight people to let the other party stab in the back, but the other party's detection method is also very unusual, not inferior to Lin An and the three of them, and they fled far away without waiting for Aibo and them to get closer, faster than the frightened rabbits.

And with Lin An's speed, once the other party was far away, a few of their short-legged mages couldn't catch up at all, and it was easy for them to leave the detection range and disappear.

This is also the biggest constraint and shortcoming of Lin An's mage apprentices:

It seems to be much stronger than ordinary people, but in fact, the means are still limited. 「」

If you can advance to the white-robed mage, then whether it is the wind and qi spells of the plastic energy system, the summoning spells of the spell system, the floating saucer technique of the change system, the wing protection technique of the protection system, and even the necromancer system of playing with the bones of the dead, there are many ways to accelerate and even fly, and it is rare to encounter this dilemma of not being able to catch up with people.

It is precisely because of the mastery of air supremacy that the mage has a suppressive position in tactics at this stage.

Even in the face of a gold-level martial artist of the same level, most mages can run away as long as they can let go of the sub-problems.

However, Lin An's exploration here is restricted, and most of the other party is also like this, otherwise he would not let Joshua know that they are still following.

Scrap the biggest reliance of those two guys, and the rest is just a piece of cake for them.

Joshua's proposal of this matter also happened to be the right time, the other party probably just crossed the snow line, and he hadn't reacted yet, I am afraid that he was still stuck on the idea that Lin An and the others could not catch them, and when they were defenseless, they just solved it in one fell swoop.

There are only three warriors in the group of eight, and they don't do much to check the ice cubes, so Spike and Abbo go together, leaving Sarina just in case, after all, the rest are mages.

The other two groups of people are out, and of course Lin An and Salin have to have one of them.

Originally, Lin An was more interested in doing things with soul power, but the matter of inspecting the ice pillar was more important after all, so Salin was the mage who pressed the formation.

In addition, Joshua has his Patmo with him, and with Spike present, they can understand Patmo's language of flying.

"If you can keep a mouthful, it's better to keep one back. Since the other party knows that he has been discovered and provoked us, he will not lack the confidence and strength to climb the mountain alone-"

Before Salin and the others were about to leave, Lin An suddenly spoke.

Others are also quick-witted people, quickly connecting their previous encounters.

"Lena mean, they know what's going on here?" Jacob asked.

The others were also stunned.

"I'm not sure, I can only say it's a little guess." Lin An said slowly.

"In that case, I'll go with me. I have a kind of puppet worm that can temporarily control the opponent's body without causing them to lose their minds...... However, the cost of such golem culture is significant. ”

Nicholas, who had always rarely spoken, spoke up, wearing a hood, and his face could not be seen, but the brim of his hat was slightly fluttering.

Hearing this, Lin An and the others' faces changed more or less, the corners of Jacob's eyes jumped even harder, and his body under the robe tightened - puppet insects have always been a taboo for the royal families of all countries, even low-level puppet insects are also jealous of royal family members.

Although he had an idea, Joshua reacted quickly.

"In this case, I mention that all the loot this time can go to Nicholas as compensation, and if it is insufficient, Nicholas can also have the right of first refusal to choose our loot later."

"I agree." Lin An said secondly.

"Yes."

"I have no opinion."

……

Salin and the others also quickly replied.

The puppet worm is definitely one of the hole cards at the bottom of Nicholas's box, and Nicholas has made a lot of money, of course, he can't help but get something in return.

Nicholas's strength and hole cards will definitely not be limited to this, and there may even be more than one puppet worm in his hand, but no one will care about this, even if Nicholas's move obviously shows muscles.

-- Strong strength is always the best pass to gain the respect and status of others.

Lin Anxin was even more jealous of Nicholas, a silent but blockbuster mage, and at the same time more cautious about the situation of the Ice Pillar.

――Even if it's to show off muscles, puppet insects don't just take them out.

Nicholas is obviously also very cautious about the ice pillar, and in order to make the future trip smoother, he will be willing to play a hole card like the puppet worm. (To be continued.)
