The sound of heavy footsteps stomping on the frozen ground was getting closer and closer.

The guy outside with a pig's nose has an unexpectedly good nose, and his sense of smell is actually more sensitive than that of a kobold.

Hill and the others have already been treated for smells.

But sometimes it's still caught by the noses of these monsters.

Step by step, the black shadow of the monster had appeared in their sight.

This proves that the monster is behind that corner at this time.

The hairy monster seemed to be in a state of alertness, too.

The hand holding the giant bone rod tightened visibly as it was raised.

Strike a pose that will swing down at any moment.

It's enough to see that this guy's head is not as stupid as it seems!

Then he stepped out, and the figure of the monster suddenly appeared in the sight of Hill and them.

At the moment when both parties discover each other's existence.

Harold, who climbed the mountain wall, fell straight from the sky!

With the momentum of falling, the bronze battle axe in his hand slashed directly at the monster's head with a fierce blow.

Under the blow, with the sound of bones shattering, the blade of the bronze battle axe directly sank into the monster's skull!

The impact of the force caused the surrounding parts to sink noticeably.

Blood began to spill out of the monster's mouth and nose.

However, Harold's blow from the sky failed to kill him with one blow!

"Roar—"

There was a low roar with obvious pain and irritability, and the sound resounded through the hill at once.

Harold, who was riding on the monster at this time, was shocked.

"Grass!"

After a foul mouth, Harold subconsciously pulled out the bronze battle axe and made up for the monster.

Unexpectedly, the blade of the axe seemed to be stuck in the monster's skull, and it couldn't be pulled out for a while.

It's all happening in the middle of nowhere.

Faced with the threat of death, the monster roared wildly and waved the bone club in his hand, and a pair of bloodshot pupils were full of tyranny.

It's completely a posture of 'even if you die, you have to pull a few backs'.

Seeing this, Hill snatched the spear of the soldier beside him.

In the blink of an eye, only the sound of a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh was heard, and the sharp tip of the spear had completely sunk into the monster's throat.

Gave the final blow to the monster that was teetering on the brink of death!

However, the blow was clearly too late.

The roar was already heard.

The other monsters scattered around, as long as their ears are not deaf, must have heard them.

The same warning soon sounded.

Their faces sank to the bottom.

"Let's go! If you're surrounded by them, you're doomed!! ”

As he spoke, Hill took a few quick steps and climbed directly onto the back of Mammoth Huck.

Harold on the side also hurriedly rode his ice bear mount.

Since there is no way to hide it anymore, then I simply don't bother to hide it anymore.

The group fled directly in one direction!

The surrounding monsters were undoubtedly aware of the movement and quickly converged.

Harold glanced back, there were quite a few of them, not to mention dozens, or even hundreds!

For a moment, a trace of palpitation flashed on his face.

In that wave just now, if they fought head-on with that group of monsters, they estimated that many people would have died.

I ran all the way, and I don't know how long I ran.

Those monsters are bulky, not fast, and the long-distance running speed is even more miserable, and they can't catch up with them under normal circumstances.

But they were afraid that the monsters would follow the smell and the tracks.

So for a short time, Harold and Hill and others didn't dare to stop at all.

I don't know how long it took to run this way, but it felt like it was far enough.

Huck and the Ice Bears were running out of stamina.

The speed of the group slowly slowed down.

Sitting at the height of the elephant's back, Hill glanced around.

At this point, the monsters were completely out of sight.

"Whew-"

Exhaling a long breath, Hill said after checking the sky again.

"It's getting late, we need to find a place to spend the night."

With that, Hill glanced at Harold.

"As always, your people are responsible for collecting food, and my people are responsible for housing them."

The bitter cold is covered with snow all year round.

If you want to spend the night here, you can either set up a permanent camp with the locals.

Either that or dig a deep enough snow hole nearby.

At night, everyone would take refuge in the snow cave and then block the hole with snow.

Leave only a few small holes to allow air circulation.

On the one hand, this is naturally to shelter from the wind and snow.

On the other hand, it is to avoid the attacks of individual beasts and monsters, so that they can rest relatively peacefully.

If you want to survive in the bitter cold, these are the most basic survival skills.

However, they were outnumbered, and they were accompanied by large creatures such as mammoths and ice bears.

It's obviously not realistic to create a snow cave that can accommodate so many people, including mammoths and ice bears.

So the usual situation is for the members of the exploration team to rest in the snow cave.

Northerners, like Harold and Hill, camped outside the snow caves.

The current climate is not so unbearable that these northerners can't stand it.

The sky in the bitter cold gets dark very quickly.

After nightfall, several fires were lit in the camp.

After a simple bite to eat and two bowls of hot soup, everyone went to bed early.

At the end of the day, it was really tiring enough for them.

But to be honest, the nights in the bitter cold are still not very peaceful.

The slightest unusual movement immediately alerted the surrounding ice bears and mammoths.

Harold, Hill and others, who were resting in the tent, also opened their eyes.

The first reaction of the soldiers in the camp who were responsible for taking turns to keep vigil after noticing something unusual was to extinguish the campfire.

Soon, the members of the exploration team, who were sleeping soundly in the snow cave, were also woken up.

Truth be told, they're used to being woken up in the middle of the night.

A good night's sleep is a luxury.

This is enough to show how harsh the living environment of the bitter cold land is.

"Those monsters are a little too persistent......"

After realizing the fact that the group of monsters had chased the neighborhood during the day.

Hill couldn't help but be in a bad mood.

At this point, she really wanted to step on the heads of the pigs, and tell them, 'Why don't you go find some food?' ’

Although the pigs' heads may have taken them for food.

Even in terms of numbers, they are still a lot of food......

Well, that's probably the biggest reason why the pigs' heads are chasing them!

Anyway, they're going to have to get out of here!

The update is sent, thank you for the monthly pass of '123'!
