Chapter 340: The Road to the Top of Ice and Snow (I)
I have to say that after having the elves leading the way, the next journey was much easier for Fang Zheng and the others.
The most important thing is that they have a new means of transportation.
Because of the overcrowding, and the fact that everyone except for the astrological sister resolutely refused to ride the square planetary landing vehicle again, these elves found a new mount for them, which was βββ goat!
Unlike the goats in captivity in the pasture, these goats grown up in the Forest of Life are taller than ordinary war horses, and are quite docile, under the guidance of the elves, these goats can easily carry people to jump between mountain streams, which also saves Fang Zheng and others from the trouble of climbing the mountain.
"Just keep going down this path, and in half a day, we will reach the top of the ice, from where we need to go through the caves, and then deal with the dwarves, as long as we can get the consent of the dwarves, and pass through the ice gate, we will be able to reach the top of the top of the ice."
Walking beside everyone, Jasmine explained to everyone with a smile, and at this moment she couldn't see the desperate and painful look at that time. On the contrary, it is full of a kind of vitality unique to elves, and it looks more cheerful.
"I really didn't expect you, Mr. Fangzheng, you are really powerful........."
Looking at the elf girl running in front of her, Fina couldn't help but sigh, and then she looked at Fang Zheng curiously.
"Mr. Fangzheng, how did you do it? I've seen victims rescued in the lairs of goblins and orcs, and they couldn't even respond at all, so much so that the poor maidens ended up going to the monastery, where they were calmed by serving the gods, and some of them never left for life, but you brought them back to normal in such a short time........."
"Uh......... Well, I have my own way.........
Hearing Fina's inquiry, Fang Zheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while, he couldn't say that he was "fighting poison with poison". To be honest, now Fang Zhengdu has some regrets. Because from the eyes of this elf girl, he could feel a very familiar look. That's the look she often showed when she first fell in love with her girlfriend before she was reborn............... For Jasmine, the previous experience with him was too wonderful, and now it seems like an addiction?
"What is the solution? If it spreads throughout the temple, I think it will save more people........."
"No, this ........."
In the face of Fina's aggressive questioning, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say for a while. But fortunately, perhaps the goddess was blessing him, and at this moment, suddenly, the advancing goat stopped, and Jasmine quickly stopped, lowered her body, and stared carefully at the ground.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong? β
Sensing the situation ahead, Fang Zheng hurriedly wiped a cold sweat from his heart, and then he jumped off the goat's body, walked to Jasmine's side and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Mr. Founder."
Hearing Fangzheng's inquiry, Jasmine nodded, and then she reached out and pointed forwardβββ where another pair of huge footprints made their way up the hillside, disappearing into the rubble.
"That's ........."
"That's the footprints of the Frost Giant, but it's strange, it's rare for the Frost Giant to come this far."
"Didn't you say that the Frost Giants also inhabit the top of the Ice?"
At this time, several other people also came to Jasmine's side, and when they heard the elf girl's words, Helion asked curiously.
"Then it's not surprising that they're here."
"It's not the same."
Jasmine shook her head at Helion's inquiry.
"The Frost Giants are called Frost Giants because they prefer cold places, and the climate here is comfortable for us elves and humans, but it is quite hot for the Frost Giants. Not to mention, the passages in and out here are all controlled by dwarves, and if the average frost giant group rushes down the mountain, they will be cut off by those beards. The Frost Giants have no brains, but they don't kill themselves. β
"Could it be that he broke away from the group and came out alone?"
"It can't be said that there is no such possibility........."
Hearing Fina and Jasmine's words, Fang Zheng raised his head and glanced at Nimfu beside him, who shook his head.
"Nothing has been found, master."
"I see."
After receiving an answer from Nimfu, Fang Zheng nodded, and then he looked at the others.
"Okay, although I don't know where this footprint came from, it seems that we need to be careful next, and everyone should be more vigilant to avoid accidents. Miss Jasmine and Miss Katie, you don't need to continue to be avant-garde, come back to us and be ready to fight at any time, and leave the scouting to Nimfu. β
"Okay, Mr. Founder."
"Understood."
After receiving Fangzheng's order, the elf girl nodded, then took out the longbow from behind her, and looked around vigilantly. And beside her, Katie's voice also came from the originally empty air, and then Fang Zheng could feel Katie's breath quietly passing by everyone like a ghostβββ it seems that in the past few days in the elven village, Katie's stealth skills have also improved a lot.
But.........
"Frost Giant......... Goblin ........."
While muttering to himself, Fang Zheng seemed to think of something, and looked at the elf girl beside him again.
"Jasmine, that's the same with you here......... Are monsters running all over the place? β
"This ......... Not so, Mr. Founder. β
Jasmine was not stupid, she instantly understood the hidden meaning of Fang Zheng's words, recalling the experience of that day, the elf girl's face also became a little stiff, but it quickly returned to normal.
"On weekdays, the Forest of Life is still very peaceful, but it is strange to say......... The animals that lived here seem to have disappeared along the way......... Although it is said that it is the time for them to come out of the nest to feed, it is ......... It's not like there's no movement at all. β
Although it was a little strange, everyone continued to move forward vigilantly, but as they advanced, the situation became more and more unexpected for everyone. Because on the next mountain path, they saw not only the footprints of the frost giants, but also the footprints of goblins, goblins, and gnollsβββ it can be said that almost all the monster races in this mountain area are out of the nest.
"W-what's going on?"
At this moment, Jasmine also felt that something was not quite right, this was simply like a riot of all the monsters in the Ice and Snow Top Mountain Range, did they plan to form six major factions to besiege the Bright Peak?
"Oh no, those bearded men shouldn't have an accident!"
Although the relationship between elves and dwarves is not very good, these two races are more like "evil friends", and it is common for them to quarrel on weekdays, but if they face an evil attack, the two sides will still have some contact with each other. It stands to reason that if the dwarves were attacked by so many monsters, they would at least give some signals to the elves!
But why is there no reaction at all?
"We must go to the Boulder Tunnel now! There's a good chance something went wrong there! β
Under the leadership of Jasmine, everyone also quickened their pace and continued to rush forward along the mountain road. However, the more he advanced, the worse Fang Zheng felt, because the response that Nimfu gave him along the way was that there was no sign of life around, which meant ......... Something is clearly not normal.
Sure enough, as Fang Zheng expected, when they came to the boulder tunnel under the leadership of Jasmine, the scene in front of them surprised everyone.
