Chapter 40: Encounters
Tang Yan didn't follow, he said that he might not have appeared in the village for many years, and he needed to say hello to everyone, so he parted from everyone.
Although he didn't say exactly how far away it was from the snowfield, the vegetation and temperature changes along the way could tell us a little bit. Now, for example, after trekking for an unknown amount of time, the surrounding broad-leaved forest has finally become a coniferous forest that prefers a cold climate.
In many games, there is a setting similar to "a team's travel speed is determined by the slowest unit", which has to be said to be a perfect restoration of reality, and this is the case with Surya's group now, but the overall speed is much faster after Horsti took the initiative to carry the Glazer.
Despite this, the old man's body and bones could not withstand the bumps, and it took them two days and two nights to see the white snow tops and howling winds in the distance.
It wasn't all without success, for example, on the first night, when the moon crept into the night sky from the west, the people of Tallinn danced like crazy. He sat in silence under the moonlight all night, caressing two pairs of swords in his hands as if caressing the skin of a lover.
However, the two weapons did not resonate as written in the books, perhaps due to the fact that it was not the real moonlight.
Another example is that the "health" setting, which everyone has never understood, has finally come in handy.
Jerry, who served as a scout on the way, came across a black and white mink creature, and was attacked by its ruthless gas when he stepped forward to tease, and he directly covered his nose and passed out with a keen sense of smell, and finally woke up to find that his health was deducted by half, and the number also turned yellow-green, and the charm attribute dropped directly to 0, and there was an extra line of text above his head:
"You are like a heated durian, it stinks so bad."
At the end is a countdown that looks like it will last for seven days.
Indeed, he emitted a strong and unusual odor, as if he had a mass, temperature, and even a viscous touch, and Ricky said that Uno, who had not bathed in a month, was fragrant in front of him.
As a last resort, he had to walk at the front of the line alone, like the locomotive of an old-fashioned train with billowing smoke, but the smell he came out was lethal.
It's weird, they have three scouts, Ricky is still the one at the front, why was Jerry sprayed? This puzzled him.
……
On the fourth day, they arrived at the snowfield. When the first north wind whistled, everyone received a hint.
"You've set foot in the frozen Far North, keep warm. There are hidden treasures here that only the lucky can obtain."
At first, they didn't pay much attention to it, but after taking two steps, the three ordinary people, except for Unuo, all showed abnormal states of varying severity. Miss Grace was talking nonsense in her mouth, her consciousness was confused, Eric was frozen, her face turned blue, and the old mage who was in the worst health was simply fainted by the cold.
The trio's already small amount of health slowly declined, and the same text appeared above their heads.
"The cold wind enters the body, and the life is short."
As a last resort, the three patients were taken away from the snowfield and taken care of by Tom, while the rest of the group continued on their way.
Heru also has places covered in ice, so the adventurous Hosdi's knowledge of making his way along the ice covered in freshwater is to dig a hole in the thinnest part of the ice to get food, which is a common practice for the snowy natives.
An hour later, the six found a brick-paved ice cave near a cave that Amacer said resembled an orc's well on the Kadra Plateau, with a line of fishing line hanging from it.
Hosdi was an anxious man, and after checking the ice cave and finding that it was not covered by wind and snow, he decided that there were living people in the cave, and he was about to run in it with his feet raised. However, as soon as he stepped into the cave with one foot, he was blown out by a gust of air between the wind and the high pressure, which seemed to be a concussion.
The shock was like an icy broadsword, heavy and cold, and with Hosdi's skill, he was pushed into the ice hole before he could react, and when he scrambled to crawl out, he was also frozen unconscious.
"The ice is in the body, and there is no help."
This is what he said above his head.
At the same time, new instructions are slowly emerging.
"You have found a mysterious cave, and the wind coming from it is like clean snow."
"What should I do?" Surya sweated from her forehead, "What would Eric think if he was here...... Clues, clues......"
"'The lucky get it'...... Isn't this sentence let's pick the guy with the highest luck value? Uno scratched his head and guessed, he looked around, and the luckiest among the crowd were Suria and Jerry, both of whom were lucky enough to 18 o'clock with the blessing of the "big meal......
"Clean snow...... Surya glanced at Jerry, who was standing in the distance because of the smell on his body, and suddenly had an idea.
She pinched her nose and called Jerry to come over, and then asked him to stand at the entrance of the cave, and the others couldn't stand the stench on him and moved away, Ricky punched himself in the nose and hid above the cave.
"Your nose is out of breath now, that's smart," he said above his head.
An indescribable stench wafted into the cavern, and only a minute passed before a roar could be heard from inside.
"Who's cooking!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a creature with horns on his nose, which looked like a strange elephant, and some resemblance to the centaur of Ashenvale, rushed out, and it rode a man on its back, wielding a metal scepter in his hand, with a pair of hairy triangular ears, and pupils like those of a wolf.
The roar came from the mouth of this guy.
However, the Tallinn had been waiting for a long time, and fell like a snowflake, stepping on the back of the half-human mammoth, and the short sword kissed him on the neck.
"Name, sir." The people of Tallinn said coldly.
"Kelly." Kelly replied dryly, throwing his scepter with a thud and raising his hand to show that he had thrown in the towel.
"Please keep that foul-smelling guy away from me, please?" He said.
Surya winked at Jerry, who nodded and jumped away.
Seeing Jerry walking away, the corners of Kelly's mouth suddenly hooked, and at the same moment, as if telepathic, the half-human mammoth roared, jumped high with its front hooves, and then trampled on the ground. An inexplicable suction burst out from the ground, and everyone except Jerry was pulled to Mammoth's side.
"Boom-click-"
At the same time, the cave was trembling, and cracks in the ice were visible to the naked eye, and the people who were pulled over were instantly trapped in the ice cave, unable to move at all.
Surya tried to open the realm, but no sooner had she had the idea than a scepter was clubbed in front of her.
"Be honest, little girl!" Kelly scepter in his hand, his gaze swept over the rest.
"And you, be honest with me."
"You've annoyed Kelly, you're going to be finished."
The hint that popped up at this point was a bit of schadenfreude.
