Chapter 39: Surviving in the Frost Fire Ridge Wilderness
"Tell me, then, why did you attack us, and who sent you?"
"To be honest, you can live, tell a lie, die in eight pieces, I'm not kidding, I'm really going to chop you into eight pieces. (Fake, of course.) Izzy said to the orcs who had finally surrendered.
The orc listened to Izzy's words, his face turned pale, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his head, and after thinking for a while, he spoke:
"We are a gang of bandits of several exiles, no one has sent us, and we are attacking you for your food and equipment. ”
"Anyone else?"
"No more. ”
"How did you find ours?"
"The cave where you live is the most suitable place to camp before entering the Frost Fire Ridge, so as long as you send someone to monitor the entrance to the cave on the mountain, you can detect pedestrians in advance. ”
Izzy probably understood the situation, and looking at the trembling orc in front of him, Izzy felt that what he said should be the truth, but he decided to scare him anyway.
He pulled out his great sword and put it around his neck, looked at him with fierce eyes, and asked the above question again, the orc was afraid to die, but it was basically the same.
Izzy sighed and whispered, "Are you the first surrendered orc I've ever seen in my life?"
"I don't know, I don't know. ”
Izzy couldn't laugh when he heard it, and asked him first what he was going to do with his companion's corpse, and the orc thought about it for a while, and replied to Izzy with some fear, which was still the meaning of the question.
"Eat?"
Izzy was completely stunned, and he almost drew his sword in fear, and disintegrated the man into pieces, but he held back and asked in a low voice:
"You've eaten it?"
"Not yet, but I should be able to eat it in the future, I was born an exile, my father wanted to eat my mother, and my mother wanted to eat him, and I was afraid that I wouldn't do it, so I ran out, and after wandering around the continent for a long time, I came here to settle down. ”
"Won't they hunt?"
"Only wild beasts hunted us, and most of those who went out to hunt were buried in the belly of wild beasts"
Izzy understands that this is the cruel reality of the lowest level of real exiles, unable to support themselves in the wilderness, and cannibalism, which is really a perfect portrayal of poor and hateful people.
Izzy has no interest in him, he doesn't want to kill him, but he can't let him go for the time being, if he lies, and there are other companions, Izzy will still kill him, Izzy really doesn't understand what he lives for, to live to live?
Tie this orc tightly to the boulder in the cave, Izzy emphasized to him one last time, stay honest until dawn, and let him go, if he lies and other companions come to him at night, his life will be lost immediately!
The exile, who didn't even have a name, nodded frantically.
Izzy and Leah reported that they were safe, and went to clean up all the corpses, and let the beasts bury them for him, and continued to keep vigil.
Rantreso complained about what he was waking him up for?Izzy laughed and scolded him, and asked him not to be afraid of being hacked to death in his sleep.
In the second half of the night, Izzy slept very unsteadily, and he knew that he should not ask about those things, let their despair and pain enter his heart, but when he asked, they were just telling the truth, and he couldn't kill him because he was angry and untrustworthy.
The next day, Izzy released the orc and entered the Frostfire Ridge, he was not worried that someone would follow them, not to mention how to track the footsteps of the Lava Hand, who could catch up with it?
Walking through this wonderful area of molten volcanoes and icy snow, Izzy knew that it would be a huge challenge for them to find the Frostwolf Clan, and that as the world got bigger, there was no such stretch of road as the game could be used as a reference.
In fact, Izzy didn't know how the Frostwolf Clan's annual Kshhag Festival got out of this wilderness of ice and fire.
The man at the top of the food chain once taught that one way to see the weather is that the characteristics of the cloud are often the same as its appearance, and if it looks menacing, then it is really menacing, and Izzy looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and his heart was full of worry.
He beckoned Lantreso to find shelter as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later, Izzy and the others stopped, the blizzard came, Izzy didn't expect it to be so fast, they had to stop and dig a hole in the snow, walking in a very low-visibility, thunderous blizzard, it was really not a good idea.
Luckily, Izzy was well prepared and chose a great location, a small slope where there would never be a huge avalanche, and the snow on the slope was very thick and solid, and Izzy taught Rantreso to use a shovel to dig a snow hole three times the size of his body on one side and the other on the bottom, make a blanket and put it on the high side, seal the hole, leave a ventilation hole that could be checked at any time, smooth the walls of the snow cave with his hands, and the two of them hid in the snow cave they dug.
Izzy was lying on the high side of the snow cave, spreading a blanket, and found that it was unexpectedly warm and comfortable inside, and couldn't help but think of the man at the top of the food chain in the video in his previous life, and he was very grateful to him, and I didn't know how many lives he had saved.
To be honest, Izzy is a little excited now, the snowstorm outside is huge, Izzy stretches out his hand for a while, and the whole hand can catch a snowball out, but the snow cave is very comfortable, Izzy bites a piece of dried meat, drinks saliva, but feels very comfortable, and the successful survival skills make him feel very comfortable.
However, Izzy was a little worried about Lantriso, and he reminded him to check the vents, and now that the snowstorm was so big, he was afraid that Lantriso would fall asleep and suffocate himself in the snow cave.
Just thinking this, a hole suddenly collapsed into the wall of the snow cave on Izzy's right, startling Izzy and eating a mouthful of snow.
"Nima, you are stupid, you have dug through the snow hole, and you are not afraid of collapsing and burying the two of us alive. Randreso smirked and said, "No, I know it."
Izzy looked at him with an ugly face, patted the snow off his body, and roared in his heart.
"You've got a chicken count in your heart!"
Lanteriso suddenly asked, "Izzy, where did you learn all this survival knowledge?"
Izzy was about to speak, but Lanteriso interjected again: "Don't fool me into saying that it's the knowledge of the elements, the elemental spirits don't have to survive, they're all right outside, you see the lava hand is out there." ”
Izzy's face darkened, and he said, "Taught by the Spirit of the Ancestors." Izzy looked at Rantreso's shriveled face and smugly.
"Sample, fight with me. ”
The two chatted, then took turns resting for a while, until they were both well rested, and Izzy stuck his head out of the snow cave to look outside.
"It's beautiful!" This was the first thought that came to Izzy's mind, the cloudless blue sky, the sunlight sprinkled on the endless snowfield, the lava of the volcanic crater in the distance boiled into the sky, and the melting snow gave birth to a pillar of steam, and the magic of nature was perfectly presented in front of Izzy's eyes at this moment.
Randriso also stuck out his head, this person didn't know if he was born with less roots, he didn't react at all when he saw this superb scene, he walked out and stretched out a lazy waist, and his bones crackled all over his body.
Izzy looked speechless for a while, dug the lava hand out of the snow, patted it, it woke up with a "yet" sound, and turned into a hand again, Izzy looked at his feet, 6 long spikes, I was afraid that it would not be too easy to walk in the snow, a little annoyed.
But they still rode up, Izzy controlled the lava hand and walked slowly, it was really a foot hole, Izzy looked at the endless snowfield, thought it was a frozen lake, and then looked at the volcanic steam of the Optimus Pillar, he looked at the map and could probably tell where it was, he controlled the lava hand to walk on the other side of the slope of the snow cave where they were hiding.
It was a pine-like jungle in front of him, and Izzy tilted his head, why the hell did he dig a snow cave and build a wooden house to build a fire.
Shaking his head, Izzy thought that the simple wooden hut built outside in the previous snowstorm might not be better than the snow cave.
Walking into the woods and looking at the trees, which looked like some kind of combination of pine and bamboo, he drew his sword and cut down one, only to find that it was solid, and took out a dagger and cut out six discs that looked a bit like a cutting board.
Equip the Lava Hand's feet, and immediately transform his pointed feet into six snow poles, and then ride on them, and the speed is really increased significantly.
Randreso sat at his little finger, shivering, he didn't feel anything in the open car-like lava hand when the temperature was high, and now the cold wind outside was blowing like a knife, which was uncomfortable.
Izzy was also so cold that he had to slow down, and he also noticed that the lava hand was not in a normal state, as if it was about to run out of gas, and the strange face on his thumb looked like it was about to fall asleep.
Izzy thought for a moment and controlled it closer in the direction of the volcano, and just as it was about to arrive, the lava hand completely extinguished, like a strange statue that had frozen.
Izzy cried out that it was dangerous, and carried him with Lanteriso to the lava that flowed down like a river, and I didn't know what to do, it was impossible to throw it into it, and God knew if it would come out.
Izzy opened the elemental horizon and observed, the fire elemental energy was being absorbed by the hand of lava, just wait here depending on the situation, it's not too convenient, Izzy thanked Longdelnosh in his heart, and if he had the opportunity, he would bring a few stones from the Frost Fire Ridge back to see if he wanted to eat them as snacks.
Izzy and they waited for a long time, a little impatient, so they started to practice again, after Lanteriso mastered the concept of the next game, the attack became more and more powerful and sinking, Izzy often has more defense and less attack, and finally he couldn't help it and began to get lucky, and the thick and strong wooden stick in the hands of the two broke off in response.
Rantreso also wanted to practice with real knives and guns, but Izzy felt unrealistic and refused, the gap between the two of them was not obvious, and it would be bad if one could not play the other to death.
Suddenly there was a sound in the distance, it seemed to come from the woods, and Izzy and Rantreso looked over and watched as the snow-covered trees were smashed to pieces by something huge, large and small branches and trunks flew into the sky, and wolf barks could be heard in the forest.
The two of them quickly grabbed their weapons and guarded the direction, and they gradually approached, and Izzy saw clearly.
It's an adult Gorone, who is being chased by a pack of iron-jawed wolves.
