"Why would you be right, huh...... How familiar is this place? ”

“...... Didn't I say that? Xue Lingphantasm silently packed her bags, and finally sorted them into a small baggage: "I've been here once." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

At this time, it was already the early morning of the next day, and because it was too late yesterday, Nan Tieshan, who was still the leader of the team, made the decision to stay for one night before setting off. But even if they chose the leeward spot behind the slope as a place to rest, the snowy mountains were still not a good place to camp at night.

It's just too cold here.

The black-armored man had already purchased and prepared the corresponding camping utensils and warm clothes at the foot of the mountain, and distributed them to the other two people, but when he was at the foot of the mountain, he felt that it was not a big deal to spend some small money on the two newcomers, and it was appropriate to take care of the two novices.

But in the face of the mighty forces of nature, this little thing was no problem—with the extremely cold wind and snow blowing outside the tent all night, the three of them spent the night in their tent in cotton clothes, and the howling of the wind through the mountains made it difficult for everyone to sleep. But there is a good thing about it, that is, they don't need three people to take turns keeping vigil.

No beast would haunt such an environment.

When a few people packed up their things and prepared to leave, the wind that had been blowing all night seemed to show no sign of stopping, but even so, they still needed to keep going, because the way they came was blocked, and there was no way to retreat. Nantieshan, who was moving his stiff hands and feet, looked thoughtfully at the narrow crack, and then at the mountain where the crack was located, the high mountain that could not be seen clearly surrounded by a gloomy fog, and asked the previous question in hindsight.

But the answer he got was also what he expected.

"So where do we go next?"

"Forward, of course." The woman glanced at the other party with some surprise, and then nodded: "If I remember correctly, the clansmen of that clan should be somewhere in the snowy mountains." ”

"When you said you knew the location of the Nors, I thought you really had some mission guiding you." Nan Tieshan put away his bags, and then smiled at the woman in black: "I didn't expect it...... Have you really been? ”

“...... Yes. ”

"Underestimate you."

The woman did not reply, but turned her head and walked towards the snow. But before she could take a few steps, she heard a shout from the big man: "Wait, wait, what about Falling Star Mountain?" ”

He turned around and pointed to the mountain with no top in sight in the direction they came: "Aren't we going to climb it on?" Isn't that Nosrid on this mountain? ”

"Of course not." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice said indifferently: "The Norsr clan is a clan of ice and snow, and they live on the top of the mountain, this high mountain...... Refers to the Andacel Mountains, not just this one mountain. ”

"If they hadn't been hidden in the mountains, they would have been discovered by the world."

"But didn't some players say that they found people of that race on Falling Star Mountain?"

"Coincidentally, maybe some people came to this place because of hunting......"

"Really? You're not fooling us......

“......”

The three of them set out in this strange atmosphere of conversation, and this conversation did not last long, because none of them could insist on a few words in the strong wind mixed with ice and snow.

"I mean, you don't really have a mission to come here, do you?"

The heavy ice and snow that had not been here for a long time continued to stretch along the slopes of the sloping mountains, forming smooth snow surfaces, reflecting white light in the cold wind, and white ribbons of snowflakes passed through Duan Qing's feet, some shook up to the sky with the cold wind, and some flowed down the slope against the snow. There are only three of them on the cold snow, and there are only the footprints of the three of them behind them, this kind of scene always gives people a strong sense of loneliness and despair, especially when no one wants to speak up.

Therefore, Duan Qing came to Xue Ling Phantom Ice and wanted to regain the vitality of the team.

"I really don't." The woman walked ahead with her head down, and she didn't seem to have any intention of turning back: "Didn't I tell you before, the reason why I came here?" ”

"But all the way over, how do I feel ......" Duan Qing touched his chin, but what he touched was a layer of snowflakes: "You are quite positive about our goals." ”

“...... The Norsr are a nice bunch, so I want you to take a tour. The woman paused for a moment, then went on to explain, "You'll know when we get there." And ......"

"I don't guarantee that we won't get any assignments or anything like that."

"You, to be exact." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Those clansmen have already had a relationship with you, of course you should have the opportunity to trade something again...... right."

"Maybe." The woman nodded imperceptibly, and said in a hoarse voice, "But...... The situation is still a little different. ”

"It's not normal weather here."

"What? Shouldn't this be a common occurrence on snowy mountains? ”

"No, when we walked this way, there wasn't such a big snowstorm."

"Maybe it's because the weather has been bad for the past two days." Nan Tieshan in front of him suddenly interjected: "Where is there no wind and rain or something......"

"That time, we also braved the wind and snow to travel, but ......" Xue Lingphantom Ice looked up at the gloomy sky, and then pulled the front of his hood: "The sky was not so dark at that time, and the mountain wind was not so strong at that time. ”

"I guess it's because of the bad weather." Duan Qing said casually: "The free world has been rich in precipitation recently, I remember that when we were in the novice village, it seemed to have rained for a long time......

"Heh......" Maybe she thought of something, the woman sighed helplessly, and then shook her head: "It's still ...... Wrong. ”

"The snow here is smooth."

"Huh?"

"In other words, no one has been here for a long time." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice continued, "Including...... Those who are NPCs. ”

Several people looked at the endless snowfield, and an inexplicable sense of strangeness rose in their hearts, and the woman took a breath hard, keeping the pace of progress: "It may be just an accident, it may be that they have migrated, or it may be ......"

"It's also possible that the wind and snow have covered their tracks." Duan Qing followed her words to reveal a possibility, and at the same time prevented the other party from saying the worst answer.

"Perhaps." The woman in the black cloak looked cold, but still nodded: "Wait until we get to the place...... The answer will be revealed. ”

****************

This section of the road on the snowy mountain is much longer than expected, and although there are no monster attacks, it is also a matter of course - the wind and snow have become their worst enemies, whether they are players or monsters as enemies. Nantieshan on the road also proposed that the bad weather was caused by elemental creatures, but it was quickly rejected by the other two people.

"If there really are elemental creatures that can do this, we don't have to go any further." The woman in the black cloak whispered.

Along the way, the wind and snow never stopped, and the frost brought up by the wind and snow was also all over the space they were in, filling the whole world, making people feel a sense of despair. Due to the height, the overcast sky seemed to be pressing on their heads, giving people a heavy pressure, and at the same time, it also made the snow even darker, making it impossible to distinguish the flow of time. After passing through one hill after another, and over another snowy slope, the only woman in the group finally stopped at the top of the slope for a while, and then pressed her hood.

"That's it."

In front of her, not far in front of the slope where everyone was located, a slope like the countless snowy slopes they had walked on was spread on the mountain not far away, but unlike the others, there was a leeward stone hill high above this snowy slope.

An irregular crevice, located on the far right side of the stone hill, revealed the scene of fire inside.

Because it was leeward, there was not much ice and snow on the stone hill, so it showed a gray-black color under the dim sky, which contrasted with the white of the snow, which was particularly conspicuous, but in comparison, the gap on the right, and the fire exposed in the gap, were more obvious in such weather, and even Duan Qing and a few people across a slope could clearly see the burning light swaying in the wind and snow.

"Finally...... It's here. Nan Tieshan slammed his feet into the snow hard, shook his feet into the snow, and at the same time shook off the snow that had been covered by walking in the wind and snow for a long time: "No more...... I'm going to freeze to death. ”

"Isn't the eldest brother also wearing cotton clothes?"

"How do I know that this god will keep scraping." The big man fluttered the snow on his body, and at the same time tried to move his body as much as possible: "Even a man like me, I can't stand being blown like this all the time." ”

"Uh...... Let's get over there. Duan Qing glanced at the figure of the woman in front of him again: "Look at that look, there should be someone inside." ”

Xue Lingphantom Ice did not answer.

As he got closer, Duan Qing realized that the gap in their eyes was actually very wide—on the other side of that gap, there was another mountain made of tall stones, leaving a distance of dozens of meters between the two stone hills, which together formed a place that looked like a gap from a distance. When they stood at the foot of that entrance, Duan Qing and the others could see clearly through the wind and snow and the light of the extinguishing fire: two gray-black giant rocks were like shells, encircling the middle city into an arc-shaped area, making this place a natural haven. In this snow-capped mountain, such a place is indeed the most suitable place to survive.

However, as a player who has been here once, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice's doubts are getting bigger and bigger.

"No one."

“...... Someone's, right? You see there's a fire in there......"

"No, I'm talking about the door." The woman in the black cloak stopped and pointed to the gap called the doorway: "There should be people in that place, and there are a lot of them." ”

"So there's a guard here."

"Well, I think it might be because of the snowstorm, so they all went back to take shelter." Duan Qing said in a low voice, "So...... There shouldn't be any problems, right? ”

"The Norsr are a race in the snowy mountains, do you think they will be afraid of the wind and snow?" Xue Lingphantasm asked rhetorically, "The time we came here before, there were still many clansmen coming and going near here......

"What do you mean...... The person inside wasn't the Gnosrid for some kind of people? ”

"I'm not sure either, but ......" Snow Spirit Phantom Ice stepped forward again, "Something must be wrong." ”

"That time, I accompanied a friend from the team to complete a commission, and my equipment ...... It's a reward for helping them by chance, and I've seen their strength in the process of completing those related tasks, and they're all very powerful, at least at the time...... You can't beat them. ”

"So, if something happens to their clan, it will be a very serious situation."

In the increasingly violent snowstorm, Duan Qing and Nan Tieshan looked at each other, and they both secretly raised their vigilance.

"Stop!"

When several people walked to the entrance of the refuge-like place, a loud shout suddenly came from inside, and Duan Qing and the others invariably stopped, because in front of them, two figures dressed in white velvet leather armor and holding spears suddenly appeared at the end of the wind and snow, and their spearheads were aimed at this side, and then one of the male voices shouted at them.

In the whistling wind and snow, it is very difficult to let others hear his voice in the distance, but these two figures seem to have done it perfectly, so the intuition of that moment made Nan Tieshan feel the strength of the other party, but before he could put on a defensive posture, the woman in front of him had already whispered a hint.

"It's them."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you three! Where did you come to this place? ”

Duan Qing and Nan Tieshan set their eyes on the woman in black in front of them, as if they were waiting for her to come forward to explain.

"I am ......"

"Ahh It's you! ”

The woman cleared her throat, trying to tell the two of them her origin in a higher voice without arousing the suspicion of the other party, but before she could say her name, another shadow suddenly jumped out behind the two figures opposite.

"They're my friends...... No, it's my guest! Not a bad guy! ”

The female voice, like the two people before, came from a long distance in the cold wind and snow: "Don't worry, let them in!" ”
