The Hegalos Mountains stretch for more than 2,000 kilometers from the Gaugamean Plateau in the west, starting from the World Tree Temple in the Sacred Mountain of Hyjal to the Dark Jungle and Mount Namoa in the east, covering almost all the northern borders of the Auckland Empire.

It's called the Ridge of the World, not that it's the average highest mountain in the world, nor is it the longest. Rather, it is located in the middle of the continent, dividing the entire continent into a clear north and south side. In the vast historical years, the south of the mountains is a civilized society, and the north is a barbarian, which has been the consensus of many people for a long time. In addition, in the mythological era, the only way for mortals to reach the celestial realm was through the rainbow bridge and the guidance of the gods themselves, which was through the main peak of Mount Hegalus, the Dome Peak, which is the "Heavenly River Ferry" in myths and legends. It is said that every once in a while, one of the servants of the sun god Hetesis, Olympia, the goddess of war of the Three Realms, will drive through the sky in a sun chariot drawn by twelve eight-legged horses, but it will pass under the towering dome peak. At that time, mortals mustered up the courage to jump from the top of the peak, and it was possible to fall right on the chariot and follow the goddess Olympia to smuggle through the heavenly palace. The so-called "Firmament Peak" refers to the consciousness that connects the Heavenly Palace.

In addition, there are various legends and myths about the Hegaros Mountains. For example, at that time, Mara, the goddess of the earth who represents matter, and Hesa, the god of fire, who represents the soul, were born, and the goddess of steel, Lofe, who later became the goddess of fire and forging, Vimelia, the goddess of springs, Nisti, the goddess of snowy mountains, Cenalius, the goddess of nature, Elune, the goddess of life, and Uton, the goddess of judgment, were born, and so on—these two were arguably the most prolific gods of that mythological era. Of course, Mother Earth Goddess herself represents the consciousness of fertility and abundance, and it is normal to have many children and grandchildren—and for a long time after her birth, these gods placed their temples and residences in the mountains of Hegalos, rather than in the heavenly palaces. As a result, the gods had countless opportunities to get close to mortals, and they also left behind various myths, legends, and historical allusions.

From the above story, we know that most of the time, the historical status of famous mountains and rivers is not determined by geographical conditions and location, but by history itself.

Of course, in real time, we all know that none of the heirs of the goddess Mara survived in the war of the gods, that is, the powerful fire god Hesa himself, who also fell between heaven and earth, and his priesthood was inherited by the two most powerful daughters, Lofe and Uton, respectively. Naturally, those temples hidden deep in the Hegalos Mountains have also lost the maintenance of their master's divine power, and have slowly turned into ruins under the invasion of wind and snow for ten thousand years.

…… Well, that's the end of the sighs and sighs. Lu Xi came to the conclusion that although the Hegalos Mountains sound very tall, they are really much friendlier than the Atlas Mountains when they are climbed.

If it weren't for the fact that a fat snow leopard always had to drop its chain when it came to an emergency, maybe it would have reached its destination at this time. Is that so? Even if you're stuffed into Dreadnought, you're still essentially a dead house of waste wood and grass-fed!

“…… It's not my fault! Little master, isn't it because there are too many broken parts on that steel dragon? I, I can fly you here, isn't that the result of my hard work? The fat snow leopard cautiously followed behind Lu Xi, and once again squeezed out a fairly bright expression on the face of the cat who should have no expression, and said with a smile: "This, this, you should blame the bloodthirsty king, right?" It's because of it that the powerful body you managed to find for me has become tattered. Otherwise, I would have carried you directly to the summit of the Dome. ”

"Well, but in fact, you made a strong forced landing in the snowy mountains halfway up the mountain, and your huge head was smashed into the snowy mountains. If it weren't for the protagonist's wake-up and jumping away from the emergency moment, he might have been unlucky with you now. Lu Xi patted the fat snow leopard's head angrily, and kept rubbing its shiny fur before he stopped satisfied.

Take a closer look at the steel dragon body that had been completely planted upside down in the thick snowy mountain, and the huge body exposed outside the snow was smashed flat on the white ice, half of which was sunk into the snow. Well, what is certain is that there is indeed some strange mysterious power on this Hegalus Mountain, if it were another place, such a huge and heavy steel giant smashed half on the snowy mountain, I am afraid that it would have already caused an avalanche.

Lu Xi stepped on the soft snow (shocked by the steel dragon) and walked to his side, looking at the shocking natural cracks in his chest and abdomen, as well as the parts scattered all over the ground, and sighed with a headache.

This steel body was originally prepared for the Dawn Star Lady back then, but it is the culmination of the Titan Demon Dao technology and the golem design, and it is also a powerful weapon that can fight against the true gods. However, perhaps it was the 20,000-year-long prevention of play that somewhat caused some wear and tear on this powerful steel dragon, or perhaps it was because its manipulator Panarsis was too weak and fought head-on with the Bloodthirsty King as soon as it came out, and it finally reached an overwhelmed situation. When Lu Xi rode the steel dragon to the top of the high mountain of Hegalus, and as the violent wind passed through the cracks in the mountain, it struck like a sharp blade formed by the air current, and the body that was supposed to have resisted the true god still made a terrifying sound after all.

With the sour "squeak" sound and Lu Xi's collapsed eyes, the cracks in the steel dragon's body gradually appeared, and they were torn bigger and bigger.

"I used to think that this would be the place where something would go wrong...... This is the frontal armor of the Iron Dragon, which must have been torn apart by the Bloodthirsty King's direct attack last time. It was an alloy of the Titans, and many of the materials were unknown, so we had to repair it with our alchemy alloy, which cost me a fortune. However, it is still unreliable! Lu Xi looked at the broken wound on the dragon's body, as if he had opened a heart-digging wound for this steel giant, and couldn't help but want to shiver in pain: "...... Sure enough, this is the so-called Murphy's Law, and if you think you will be unlucky, you will definitely be unlucky! ”

"It's not just the tearing in the armor, it's also that a lot of parts inside are out of order, and it's hard to find a replacement...... To be honest, even though I'm the one in control of this body, I can't fully understand all of its true structure. Well, I'm really sorry Miss Seyleliu, she's done everything she can to fix those traps for me. Well, I thought that while the weapons and defenses weren't fully restored, at least the power should be fine. I've tried it before, but haven't I made several trips back and forth under Miss Lim's urging during this time, and transported a lot of supplies? ”

"Yes, thanks to you, the dwarves think that the Federation has created some new puppet killer, and the higher echelons of the Federation think that it is our Rainbow Rose that has mastered the special skills of the new threat to the center. It's also fun to let them guess at each other, so let's take a while longer...... However, there is no point in saying anything to let them see what they are now. Lu Xi sighed slightly and looked at the fat snow leopard beside him. At this time, Panarsis was lying on the snow, looking at the "body" that he had managed to rely on to be handsome with great difficulty, half-sunk in the snow, with an extremely sad expression, like an old widower who had just died of his wife.

Uh, that's a creepy adjective...... So, let's praise him, otherwise it's really pitiful to just throw it away. Thinking of this, Lu Xi walked to the side of the fat snow leopard, rubbed its head again, and then took out a small piece of dried fish from the space bag and threw it over: "Yes, the soul switch between bodies is indeed becoming more and more proficient. ”

Panarsis happily nibbled on his snack and meal. He didn't feel anything wrong at all now.

"First of all, we need to determine the way forward...... Well, you're okay with your current state, right? Although the soul of your dragon clan is extremely strong, and Miss Krisel has taught you a set of spirit exercises unique to the Holy Dragon, in any case, the difference between the soul of a fat snow leopard and a steel dragon that is almost a hundred meters long should be quite surprising. What's more, in the body of your current snow leopard, there are actually many important organs that have been corroded by demonic toxins, and they are replaced by artificial alchemy organs, unnatural things, even if the performance is good, the senses should not be too comfortable. You can take a break and get used to your current body. Anyway......" Lu Xi looked at the time: "We still have more than twenty-five days...... Hey, you're crying?! ”

The fat snow leopard covered his face, but two lines of tears had already left along his cheeks, leaving two furrows on his hairy fat face: "Woo woo, little master, it's the first time you have been so good to me...... Lao Pa, Lao Pa, I am willing to die now. ”

…… Strictly speaking, I had to ride you to get you to the field you are in now, right? You just accepted it so indifferently? Isn't this a form of Stockholm disease in disguise?

Of course, it can also be disguised to show that this young master tunes (meow) is very successful in teaching.

Lu Xi put the body of the steel dragon that had been half-trapped in the snow and used the sky in his palm to hold it - now that the little wife, that is, the Qiyao Aurora was not around, this secret treasure obtained from Miss Zhenzu had become Lao Pa's exclusive prop - and then he came to the top of the peak with a position jump, and began to look for a direction to continue moving.

In his sight, the white sea of clouds and the equally white snow-capped mountains had converged into one, and under the reflection of the sun, even he felt a little dazzling. The icy cold wind blew with the slightest drop of snow, whirring and hitting his cheek, which was exposed to space, bringing a slight tingle.

If it weren't for Lu Xi, but an ordinary person, under such low temperatures and cold winds, he might not even be able to walk. It's more likely that he lost his life in a daze under the attack of the violent cold wind, right?

However, even a person with extraordinary physical fitness like Lu Xi must move on now, otherwise if he stays any longer, he will definitely be drowned by the blizzard. Take a look at the fat snow leopard next to it, right? After a while, it was already half-pulled and even buried in the snow...... In other words, this is the first time I have seen a snow leopard that will be buried by snow on a snowy mountain.

"You're a cat, you know?"

Lu Xi added a buff to Panarsis. The other party suddenly seemed to have lost a hundred pounds and was opened to Ren Du's second vein, so he jumped up from the burial of the snow, just like an ordinary cat, shook off the snow on his body with his hair, and then rushed to Lu Xi stupidly.

“…… This, hehe, it's not because the lungs and bronchi in the stomach are replaced with alchemy materials, and it's normal to run here all of a sudden, and have a little altitude sickness. ”

Well, snow leopards that can get altitude sickness are also fine.

"So, which direction should we probably go, do you have a score? Our veteran drivers. Lu Xi asked. After all, the other party is a "primeval dragon" born in the era of mythology (if it was not eaten by Osha), and he is indeed the oldest and most experienced one in the team. Although in many cases, his status is about the same as the two new horned eagles and a long-haired cat of the Sehiru family, but he also has to fulfill the duties of the veteran driver of the team. Eating grass and milking out, there are probably no fat snow leopards and "dragons" in this world who are more dedicated than Panarsis. In this operation, the reason why Lu Xi didn't bring anyone, only Lao Pa, except that he could ride away, was the only reason.

"According to His Highness Muradin, the spirit of the mountains has only been heard to have been born on the peak of Hegaros so far, and there have only been eight ...... in history."

“…… So there are so many! I thought it would be a very unique treasure. Lu Xi pouted dissatisfiedly: "In this world, what is more sad than learning that the Bugatti pureblood that is customized by himself is handmade, but it is a big road goods made by machinery?" ”

"This one, uh, if you compare it with 20,000 years of history, isn't it not much at all? You see, even the Heart of the Oakland Empire's Supreme Treasure Holy Spring, which has only been around for more than a thousand years, has appeared two of them! ”

"Well, well, let's accept your explanation. In this way, gifts for children can be valuable, but they can't be really unique, otherwise it will not be good for growth. Lu Xi held his chin and muttered to himself.

The Fat Snow Leopard couldn't help but shudder, but he didn't hear it, and continued: "In short, according to His Highness Muradin, for ten thousand years, it is possible for the spirit of the mountains to appear anywhere in the high mountains of Hegalos, and it is theoretically impossible to find it. However, we also know that in the age of mythology, the sun god Hetesis entrusted the balance and maintenance of the earth to the earth goddess Mara and the fire god Hesa, and the Hegalos Mountains are their shrine on land, and the axis of the earth used by the two ancient gods to maintain the stability of the earth. ”

"Yes, but after the second creation, there is no need for the Hegalos Mountains, the axis attribute that maintains the stability of the earth. Now at most, it is a ...... with a particularly rich aura Well, it should be the mountain range with the richest aura, the most active magical elements, and the easiest to give birth to natural treasures. Coupled with the fact that there are hundreds of temples hidden in the mountains, it has become the most adventurous holy place in the world, right? ”

"This ...... It should be said that it is the ultimate challenge that all adventurers are fascinated by, right? If the Dark Forest is an Expert challenge, Hegalos must be a Master challenge! The fat snow leopard, who likes to play card games, used a metaphor that made Lu Xi feel that it was not inconsistent at all: "...... And what we want to challenge is the master difficulty of the masters. ”

"The so-called Temple of Hegaros, right? That is, the Temple of Earth and Fire, the residence of Heza, the god of fire, and Mara, the goddess of the earth. The old man did say that it was the collection and control center of all the leylines, spiritual veins, and even elements in the Hegalos Mountains, and it was more of a central computer than a temple. Although after the fall of Hesa and the return of Mara, the goddess of the earth, to the outer realm, none of these functions existed. All the turmoil that has taken place in this mountain should be a clue to that temple. The host of the previous 'Spirit of the Mountains', Ufstan, the King of the Hills, is said to have found the real thing in this way. Lu Xicai took out a notebook in his arms, flipped through it seriously, and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance: "Well, that's what it says in this adventure diary given by Your Excellency Jin Li...... We are now at the summit of Bevel Peak, so we should head southeast, cross a mountain peak, and then cross a ravine, and we will enter the range of the remnants of the divine power of the two ancient gods. However, since it is the Earth and the Flame Temple in the past, it shouldn't be so easy to find, right? ”

"No, actually, the great god Hesa and the goddess Mara are open-minded and tolerant gods, not as high as the goddess Yavanna and her descendants in the heavenly palace, but they are actually very fond of communing with the mortals who come before them. Our problem is not to find the location of the temple at all, but to find the remnants of the divine power. Speaking of this, the fat snow leopard couldn't help but look up at Lu Xi cautiously: "That, little master...... I've always wanted to ask, you, why did you come here alone? ”
