Chapter 788: Astral Gate (V.)

Legend has it that the dragons of the Eternal Sleep Mountains believe that there is a ruthless evil god sleeping in the depths of the planet's earth, his name is "Zeuxkir", also known as the "Lord of the Glaciers" and "Prince of Winter", whenever Zeukskel is about to wake up, he will open his sleepy eyes, and his gaze will turn into a cold current erupting from the Eternal Sleep Pass, forming a disaster that causes the entire planet to cool down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoPeople have reason to believe that if this evil god fully awakens, he will crawl out of the mountain pass and easily destroy all the creatures on the Prison Gate Star. Therefore, whenever the cold snap outbreak cycle comes, the White Dragons of the Eternal Sleep Mountains will stop going out and hide in the cave day and night to pray, hoping to make the evil god close his eyes and fall back into a deep sleep in this way.

……

The southern foothills of Mount Eternal are home to the Frost Giant Tribe. In this season, when his breath is frozen, the Frost Giant also has to hide in a house made of large blocks of ice to escape the knife-like wind. Normally, Frost Giants are afraid of fire, their constitution is immune to frost caused by nature and magic, their sharp teeth can easily crush food frozen into ice cubes, and their powerful stomachs will not get sick even if they swallow ice cubes raw. But when the cold wave hits, no one is more eager than these frost giants to have a pot of charcoal to warm their frozen bodies.

In the ice hut, an adult female frost giant sandwiches a treasured "black stone" between her knees, puts a dry mammoth skin on it, and rubs it against it with another black stone sharpened into a pestle.

It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, Hellgate was originally a green planet with a warm climate and rich vegetation, and the land was full of lush trees, which were buried in the ground for a long time and turned into a special black ore, which would ignite flames for a long time when struck by lightning. In order to survive the cold season, the frost giants collect black stones everywhere, and then rub the two black stones repeatedly for a long time, and if they are lucky, they can inspire sparks to ignite the mammoth fur and get a warm charcoal fire.

The female frost giant is a young mother. Beside her, a beautiful boy with milky white skin and long black hair stared curiously at the black stone in his mother's hand, and asked her why she kept rubbing the stone in a giant language.

The mother gave her son a pitiful look, then grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him away like a puppy, so as not to disturb her work.

The Frost Giants are undoubtedly a barbaric people, and low intelligence and rough temperament are the common character of this people, regardless of gender, old and young.

The little frost giant has long been accustomed to his mother's rough attitude. He shook his head, got up, and ran outside the house to play like all over-energetic children, trying to avoid his mother's sight. However, his little abacus failed to succeed, and as soon as he tiptoed to the door, he was grabbed by his mother and slapped on the ground.

The mother's parenting method may be a bit rough, but the original intention is undoubtedly out of love. She knew very well that letting a child run around in this terrible season was tantamount to indulging him to commit suicide, and the cold current erupting from the Eternal Sleep Pass contained inexplicable energy, which seemed to be the embodiment of the resentment of the gods, which could instantly freeze an adult mammoth into an ice sculpture, not to mention a delicate child.

The little frost giant rolled over and got up, whimpered a few times in frustration, and found that his mother was too lazy to take care of himself, so he reluctantly gave up being coquettish, ran to the window, broke off two palm-sized pieces of ice, and rubbed them like his mother.

The mother of the frost giant glanced at her son and muttered "stupid thing", but did not stop the little one from doing such a meaningless thing. The child likes to imitate adults, even though he doesn't understand that ice can never rub even a little bit of spark like a black stone.

……

The bighorn deer and mammoths in the snowfields did not have the wisdom to dig caves or build igloos, and a large number of them froze to death in the first wave of the cold wave. These stupid and poor animals provide a large amount of convenient and tasty reserve food for the snow goblins that inhabit the bottom of the iceberg. In normal times, these white-haired, stinking goblin relatives would not be an easy task to hunt a herd of bighorn deer, or a strong mammoth, and would have to sacrifice their hands and feet to count all their fingers.

The cold snap blows high into the air, and the low temperature keeps pressing deep into the earth. Life in the cave is getting harder and harder. The shaman of the Snow Elf, an old, ugly, and somewhat nervous little man, smeared blood mixed with feces on himself, and held aloft ivory-ground canes, dancing wildly around a pile of stones. This strange ritual is a tradition of the Snow Elf, and it is said that shamans can obtain spiritual telepathy through the "Dancing God" and the evil gods sleeping in the Eternal Sleep Pass, so as to obtain a beneficial oath to survive the cold wave cycle.

"Kill! Creak! Kill more sacrifices! Creak! ”

The snow goblin shaman suddenly twitched, foaming at the mouth and screaming frantically.

Two of the stronger goblin warriors immediately dragged an underage bighorn deer to the stone altar and slashed its throat with their blades, and the blood sprayed on the stone and immediately congealed into scarlet frost. The snow elf shaman's ugly face was also stained red with blood, she suddenly giggled, slowly turned to look at her people, and spat out a sentence of unknown meaning in despair...... The monster is coming...... Disaster is coming...... It's all coming to an end! ”

……

If the White Dragon, the Frost Giant, or the Snow Goblin were a little more daring and dared to step out of the cave and look at the sky; If their eyesight is sharp enough, they should be able to see eerie black spots around the moon on this unusual night, as if a swarm of insects were wriggling. Across the sky, through the atmosphere, you will find that those black spots are actually an armed fleet from the other world, led by a completely black flagship, which is a ghost ship carrying more than 10,000 undead creatures, and the cry of unjust ghosts can be faintly heard in the churning sea of blood around it.

Around the "Naraku Empty Mother", a large group of warships made of white bones of the forest floated in the sea of blood. Farther away, the Gisyankee fleet led by "Grey Sizzer" Zon Gray is also close to the low-Earth orbit of the Prison Gate, but due to the special construction of the Astral Battleship, they must carefully avoid approaching the Prison Gate, lest they be pulled into the atmosphere by the planet's gravity and fall headlong on the glacier.

"Brother Black Robe, the fleet of the Red Plum Alliance may chase after you at any time, we have to hurry up."

The dragon king stared at the silver glacier rising from the surface of the planet, and he could clearly see that the mouth of the black hole was spewing cold currents. The eyes that had been blessed with "Arcane Vision" in advance could vaguely see that the mountain pass was glowing with magic, and it seemed that there was a layer of translucent enchantment. Mars didn't bother to think about why this barrier wouldn't stop the cold ** hair, he just needed to get there, tear the barrier, and then the tunnel to the "Land of the Dead" would open its doors to him.
