Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Avalanche Breaks
Daniel has to spend time taking care of Waltai, while Nicole has trouble getting in and out of the palace, and Higg has nothing to do alone, and after two days of depression, he finally decides to find something to do for himself, to find the pervert of the magic mage Delonso!
Higg didn't tell anyone, but explained to the hotel guy that he was going out for a while, and asked him to tell Nicole and Daniel not to worry, and in the face of the princess's royal highness, the guy could only agree.
Higg only knew that Delonso was on Mount Alves, but his exact location was unknown, even through the Thieves' Guild.
Alves Mountain is not too far from the capital of the Alchemy Country, only three hundred kilometers, but there is no portal in the mountain, and it is estimated that it will take two or three days to walk. In such a large mountainous area, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Delonso, and if you find yourself, you can't beat it, why should people give you magic balls?
Higg was fully armed, armor, divine boots, tree elf bow and sky feather arrows, four spirit beads, the magic ring, and a sword from Waltai's armory shop, he felt that it was quite handy, so he naturally replaced the stall he had been using.
Walking the mountain road in this frozen country, Higg finally realized what it means to walk hard, there is no road at all. On those high mountains, the canopy of the trees is still covered with a thin layer of snow, and only when the middle of summer comes, all the canopy ice and snow melt, can grow quickly for two or three months, although these trees are short, but they have grown for many years to form this shape, in this frozen world, life seems so sluggish. Even in early summer, there are not many large wild animal tracks in the whole mountainous area, and there is no such life as in Erathia.
Fortunately, in the early summer, the days here were very long, and the nights were only a few hours, and Higg kept wandering around the mountains, and did not find any possible seals, nor did he find any buildings, and even he finally got lost. Wander around during the day, find a sheltered place to sleep at night, drink snow water when you are thirsty, roast pheasants when you are hungry, and sleep in the open with real wind meals. Delongso, the pit man, didn't give any hints, where can you find such a big mountain?
"Delongso, you bastard, coward, get out!" Higg, who had been wandering around for more than ten days, took a deep breath and couldn't help but roar loudly in anger, and the whole mountain echoed. The snow from the nearby trees fell to the ground one after another, and the pheasants on the hillside were so frightened that they buried their heads in the snow, but suddenly and quickly pulled their heads out and ran around......
There was a rumbling sound from the top of the mountain in the distance, like an earthquake.
"Avalanche!" Higg, who was originally annoyed, was taken aback, the snow on the mountain was the loosest in early summer, and it was easy for avalanches to occur, and Higg shouted head-on, and the snow on the mountain was pressed down like a galloping horse.
It's not that Higg didn't know the danger of the snow-capped mountain collapsing, but he was so angry that he got into it. It's useless to run, the range of the avalanche in front of you is too big, and you don't have time to retreat to both sides outside the range of the avalanche, and you can't fly, can you run through the avalanche? There isn't even a cave in the mountain here, so you can't hide from it. Not even an object to hold on to to protect themselves, the trees were too small.
In the distance, on the high mountain, where the avalanche passed, all the trees were crushed, and before they could even make a snapping sound, they were covered in mountain snow. Some of the boulders on the mountain also rolled down with the avalanche, adding an even more spectacular terrifying power.
The mountain snow is gradually approaching, Higg began to run back quickly without thinking, to avoid direct collision with the mountain snow, the speed of running is much slower than the surging mountain snow, but at least it can offset some of the speed impact of the mountain snow, as long as he is not seriously injured when he is hit, Higg is still confident that he has control over the ice and snow, and he will definitely be able to survive.
The rumbling snow-covered mountain smashed down like a rainbow, and at the moment when the mountain snow collided with him, the tiny Higg quickly held his mouth and nose and curled up. Then he became a part of the mountain snow and rolled down with the mountain snow. Luckily, Higg wasn't hit by a rock, but was scratched by a few branches, and he was fine. Below the snow blast was a valley, and Higg knew that he would be buried in this valley, and how deep he would be buried depended on how much snow fell on the mountain.
As the snow fell to the bottom of the valley, Higg immediately cast a spell of ice water homologous, enveloping himself, allowing himself to have a little space to move. With a violent vibration from above, Higg felt that his space was severely compressed, and the weight of the snow above almost crushed his ice-water homologous space, making Higg have to sacrifice the water spirit bead to resist, even so, it also made Higg feel an incomparably huge pressure above.
Finally the space was no longer compressed, the vibrations above disappeared, and the avalanche seemed to pass.
Higg didn't want to stay here for a moment, and immediately cast a fire magic, a fire-shaped earth drill in his hand, and then drilled out diagonally above himself, as soon as the mountain snow touched the hot fire drill, it immediately turned into snow water, and Higg crawled diagonally upwards along the snow water, like a mouse burrowing. The further you go, the less pressure you have, and the more space you have, the Flame Diamond is an extremely magically expensive magic skill, and Higg has to be distracted by controlling the Ice Water Homology. Fortunately, the magic vortex has benefited a lot, his magic value has increased significantly, and he has studied in the Alchemy Country Magic Guild for a period of time, and his control of magic skills has become more and more proficient.
Higg kept climbing upwards, turning when he came across a boulder, in short, he would be able to get out if he kept it uphill, and no matter how much snow there was, there was always a thickness, so there was no need to worry about it.
Finally, after drilling like a rat burrowing for more than half an hour, and seeing the bright light, Higg jumped forward, and with a bang, rushed out of the snow with a bang, and then fell deep into the snow, and the snow went directly to a waist-deep position.
"Hehe, I'm too complacent, if I come out slowly, I won't be trapped so deeply!" Higg laughed at himself in a muttering voice.
"You just drilled a good position! Hahaha! ”
A voice sounded in his ears behind him, and Higg turned to see an old man standing behind him, with all white hair and beard, and wearing a white robe, this old man was not a hundred years old but seventy or eighty.
Higg was secretly surprised that the old man was standing silently behind him, and if he had bad intentions, he would have suffered a great loss. What made Xige even more frightened was that according to his current earth-based magic cultivation, he shouldn't be unable to detect the people and dangers around him, even if the other party's whole body was snow-white and invisible.
The soft snow covered the old man's feet only over the instep, and Higg had no idea how the guy did it.
"Immortals?" Higg asked.
"Do you think I want to be a youkai?"
"Like an old monster!" Higg laughed and said, "Are you coming from above or below?" ”
"Same as you, but I won't make holes!" The old man laughed.
"How did you end up down in the valley?" Higg asked curiously.
"There's a bastard yelling at me old man on the hillside, and then the avalanche comes, and then I come out!" The old man shouted angrily.
"You're Delonso? Magic mage? Super big bastard? Higg exclaimed, "Didn't you seal yourself away?" ”
"Such a big avalanche, all the seals are over!" Delonso said angrily, "You disturbed me, I need a perfect explanation!" ”
"You mean the avalanche broke your seal?" Higg was surprised, "I knew that I would have come directly to wake up the avalanche, causing me to comprehend the origin of the four systems so miserable, and as a result, I didn't even have a chance to perform!" ”
"You're looking for me? Have you also comprehended the origin of the four systems? This time it was Delongso's turn to be surprised.
"Bring the Mana Ball!" Higg said with a smile.
"What do you want Mana Balls for?" Delonso said, casually tossing a fist-sized yellowish glowing orb to Higg, "Why should I give it to you?" ”
Higg took the yellow ball and gently jumped over the snow and landed to the side, the snow reaching his knees. The yellow ball exuded a faint magic power, which was completely absorbed by Higg and replenished for his own magic power, "I have unlocked your seal, you must promise me one thing, I only need this magic ball!" ”
"Nonsense, no one can unlock my seal, it's an avalanche that unlocks!" Delongso shouted.
"The avalanche was caused by me scolding the bastard, so I broke the seal, do you want to pay the bill?" Higg tossed the orb back and said, "It doesn't matter, I don't want this orb anymore, unless you kill me, I'll go out and spread the word that Delongso is a big bastard who doesn't keep his word!" ”
Delongso was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smiled and said, "What's the use of me asking for this breaking ball?" Gotta gotcha, here you got! With that, he threw the orb at Higg.
"You just gave me to restore my magic so I could test my magic with you, didn't you?" Higg smiled, "Forget it, I still don't want it, forget about the competition, I don't want to compete with scoundrels anyway!" ”
"You can't do it if you don't want to compete, I haven't done it for decades, and I finally opened the seal, and I can't run away if you want to, hahaha!" Delongso laughed.
"I just don't do it, what can you do with me?" Higg laughed and said, "Kill me? ”
"The magic ball is given to you, as long as you compete with me, you can take it at any time!" Delonso Express.
"If you want to compete with me, you must promise me one condition!"
"Boy, don't take an inch, my old man used to be grumpy!"
"You can keep the magic ball for yourself!" With that, Higg turned and left.
"What more could you ask for?" Delonso stopped Higg and said angrily.
"The magical rainbow of Rainbow Island has disappeared for thousands of years, and only you can make it come back!" Higg said.
"Magic Rainbow?" Delongso shook his head and said, "I can't make it reappear, the Rainbow Island Guardian Beast is extinct!" There are no guardian beasts, what kind of magic rainbow to talk about, those bastards on Rainbow Island are just whimsical, finding a kid is like fooling me to rebuild the magic rainbow! ”
"No, the guardian beast Fire Phoenix has been resurrected!"
"Impossible?" Delongso shouted.
"Nothing impossible, since you are a magic mage, it is impossible that you don't know that there is another spell in this world, called the Phoenix Nirvana Technique, right?"
"That's even more impossible, no one can have the Phoenix Nirvana Technique!" Delonso said angrily.
"Old man, then what are you waiting for, you might as well die!"
"What do you mean, boy?"
Higg smiled and said, "I heard that you used to be very beautiful, so that all the magicians in the world looked at you, and the mountains looked up. Since you are already number one in the world and have no opponents, why do you want to leave a seal and let people untie it and compete with you? Since you think that if you don't have a magic skill, no one else can master it, and if someone else does, it becomes impossible. You want someone to beat you, but when someone actually can beat you, you want to play tricks and don't want to admit it. You are a contradiction, so what is the point of your life? ”
"You seem to have some truth in what you say, but the Phoenix Nirvana Technique ......," Delongso asked suspiciously, "Is the Divine Beast Phoenix really resurrected?" ”
"Why should I lie to you?" Higg asked rhetorically.
"Who resurrected the Fire Phoenix?"
"Of course it's me!" Higg laughed, "Don't I look like it?" ”
Delongso looked Higg up and down in surprise, and then asked again in confusion, "Have you mastered the Phoenix Nirvana Technique?" ”
"It's not mastery, it's just a first glimpse of the door!" Higg said, "This skill is too profound, and it should be difficult for ordinary fire origin masters to comprehend such a complex and advanced magic skill!" ”
"Oh?" Delongso was amazed, "What do you have into the Fire Origin?" ”
"Waste and then stand, put it to death and then live!" "This is the essence of understanding the origin of the fire system!" It's just that it's easy to set up, but it's too difficult to waste, and no one wants to take the initiative to waste and destroy their achievements! ”
"Waste and then stand, put it to death and then live!" Delongso muttered, then suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! I've waited for thirty years, sealed for thirty years, and finally have an opponent, hahaha! ”
