Chapter Seventy-Four: The Ice Valley Changes
When Arthur took out the Ice Spirit Heart Pendant, the Ice Elf's eyes lit up and he let out a cry of excitement.
Arthur held the pendant in front of the ice elf, and it immediately hugged it with both hands, holding it in his arms like a baby.
Because Arthur has been wearing it closely, Joan also saw Arthur's pendant for the first time, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of thing on you?" The teacher said that the heaven and earth spirit objects of various attributes have a fatal temptation for the elves of the corresponding attributes, and these things can help them quickly advance and improve. ”
By the time Joan explained, Arthur had already noticed a few wisps of white chill wafting out of the pendant, and was immediately sucked into his body by the ice goblin.
Arthur was so frightened that he immediately snatched the pendant back, "I can't give you this thing!"
The ice elf screamed and was about to rush back, only to find that Shino and Spence were staring at him, and immediately hugged Arthur's leg into a pleading expression.
"This thing is especially important to me, you can't absorb the chill in it. Arthur didn't care whether it understood or not, and tried to explain with gestures.
The ice goblin seemed to understand, and the expression on his face changed to a look of frustration.
Arthur and his party hit the road again, only to find that the little goblin had been following closely behind and refused to leave.
Arthur waved at it, and it immediately ran over and clinged to Arthur's legs.
Arthur touched its head, "Come with us if you want, I guess there's still a long way to go?"
The ice goblin immediately nodded excitedly.
Arthur had a bold idea, and a new member was added to their trip to the Ice Valley of Despair. It was Arthur's decision that benefited them for the rest of their trip.
The ice goblin blended in quickly, and it said "Gru, Gru" several times in a row, and Arthur knew that it was called Gru. Because of the attraction of the Ice Spirit Heart Pendant, Gru the little goblin spends most of his time glued to Arthur's side. In addition to Arthur, it quickly became acquainted with the Ice Spirit Fox, who allowed Gru to run around on his back.
The two little ones ran back and forth, adding a lot of joy to the team. Gru brings more than just joy to the team, as a landlord, he knows the situation in the Ice Valley very well, and can remind Arthur that they take the initiative to avoid the territory of some powerful monsters, and even if they can't dodge, they can spot danger before Arthur and them.
With Gru as their guide, Arthur's journey in the Ice Valley of Despair went much smoother in the next few days, with only three major battles in between.
The only thing that still worries a few people is that the battle is becoming more and more difficult, and they have already encountered the lord-level monster mammoth in the last battle. Sino and Spence couldn't take down the lord-level monster with all their might, and only managed to let it escape with serious injuries.
At noon on the third day, two tall ice peaks side by side blocked the path of the ice valley, and between the two ice peaks there was only a narrow ice crack like a ray of sky, and the crack was so narrow that the giant Buku could barely pass through it on his side.
Gru, the little goblin, suddenly ran in front of the ice crack and stretched out his hands to stop everyone from moving forward.
Several people glanced at each other, and Shino spoke slowly first, "Behind these two ice fronts may be hidden the secret of this ice valley and the way to rescue the elven queen, but the danger inside This little guy also told us with practical actions, I will go in with Spence to take a look, and you will stay outside and wait for us." ”
Arthur said seriously: "I understand what you mean, but I've come here, and if I don't go and take a look, I will leave a lifelong regret." I'm hiding behind you, and I'm not going to die. ”
"It's impossible for me to give up on something so exciting. Joan said the same.
Shino's expression became very serious, "I don't know how many Terran generals and orc heroes died in dangerous places?
Despite Shino's persuasion, Arthur and Joan still insist on going together.
Sino finally had to sigh, "It's hard to persuade damn ghosts, but when the time comes, don't blame me for not saving you." After saying that, he turned around and walked directly towards the ice crack.
Spence shook his head, following Shino closely. Arthur, Joan, and Buku followed behind and walked through the ice crevasses.
Seeing that no matter how much he shouted and blocked, Arthur and the others all passed through the ice crack, hesitated for a moment, and finally tiptoed to follow.
After Arthur and the others passed through the narrow ice crack, the space in front of them suddenly opened up, turning from a narrow canyon into an open basin. The entire basin is five or six kilometers in circumference, and the basin is still covered with snow and ice, except for the scattered patches of huge ice, the whole basin is empty.
When they were about to reach the end of the basin, they suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water, and several people jumped on a huge ice block more than ten meters long, and found that there was a clear spring hidden at the foot of the ice peak. Clear spring water gushes out of the ground, creating a pool of water behind the ice.
"It's strange how the water isn't frozen?" Joan muttered.
"The secret may be under the pool, you take off your clothes and go down to see. Arthur was still in the mood to joke with Joan.
Shino looked around warily with the hilt of his sword in hand.
Spence flew to his feet, circled the basin twice, and shook his head at Shino after landing, "Nothing." ”
It was really strange, according to Gru's violent reaction before, there should be a huge danger hidden here, but they turned around and didn't find any creatures.
Joan suddenly laughed and said, "I don't understand it, can I'll tell you the answer, there were terrible monsters guarding here before, but have you forgotten? In the story of the giants, the monsters have been killed by the giant hero Secy, so now there are no monsters in this ice valley." ”
"Fool, that story was tens of thousands of years ago, do you think Gru would be afraid of the breath of a demonic beast that has been dead for tens of thousands of years?"
Joan scratched her head, "You're right, too." ”
"If there is any secret hidden in this ice valley, it is probably related to this pool of unfrozen spring water, so I'll go down and take a look. Arthur began to undress as he spoke, he had practiced in the waters of Lindong Lake before, and he had a sense of closeness to the cold water.
Jumping naked into the lake water, there is no imaginary cold and biting, but a cool infiltration, this coolness through the skin to the spirit, meridians, the whole body is comfortable, as if the whole person is melted in the cool water.
What Arthur didn't notice was that this coolness not only entered his body, but also flowed into the ice spirit jade pendant on his chest.
"This spring is really unusual, come down and feel it!" Arthur beckoned to Joan, who was still standing on the ice.
Joan began to undress with great eagerness, and when he was halfway through, he noticed that Arthur's face had suddenly changed, and then there was a breaking sound from under his feet.
"Run!"
By the time Joan heard Arthur's shout, she had been lifted into the air......
