In order to avoid causing panic, Roland only told his companions, Vigraaf, and Mikhail about the "Hexstow Emblem". Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Stimulated by a sense of crisis, Mikhail decided to set off for the Ice Dragon Canyon immediately, striving to meet the "Pearl Knight" Viktoria Yanbo and his party as soon as possible.

It is about 200 miles from here to the White Dragon Canyon, and it can take three days at the earliest.

Everything seemed to be back to the way it was when we set out on the journey again, the snowy fields were uninhabited, there were no villages or towns to settle down in, and fortunately there were no attacks.

If the snow cover is compared to sand dunes and glaciers to the Gobi, the vast snowfields of Lucia are like white deserts, and the same scenery is seen every day from the time you open your eyes to the time you close your eyes.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day, not far from the White Dragon Canyon, that the scenery finally changed somewhat.

Roland noticed that the snow was showing signs of melting, and the ambient temperature was obviously high, so he couldn't help but wonder what was going on with Mikhail.

"I've never seen this happen before, but I've heard people say that this generation has discovered hot springs, maybe the devil fought underground, causing the hot spring water to gush out of the ground and melt all the snow in the area." Mikhail said, rubbing his red rosacea nose.

Roland knew that Mikhail's so-called "devil's fight" was a superstitious version of the northern mountain people's crustal movements. If, as Mikhail said, there are hot springs in the vicinity, it is good news.

The girls were especially happy about this, and there was nothing more comfortable than a hot spring bath in the cold snowfield.

The convoy continued on its way and soon arrived at the source of geothermal heat, but unfortunately there were no hot springs - what appeared in front of people was an open-air ice cave with a diameter of more than 20 feet, and the boiling steam came out of the pit, which was blown into a haze of white flowers when the cold wind blew it.

"Ahem, although it's not a hot spring, the steam is about the same, anyway, it's all the devil underground."

Faced with the disappointed and resentful eyes of the girls, Uncle Mikhail touched his bald head and smiled.

"Uncle, maybe there's a treasure hidden in this pit, why don't you go over and take a look?" A guy asked eagerly.

Mikhail's eyes lit up, he shook his head and said: "Popov, your idea is very insightful, then go over and see what the hell is in the pit." ”

"I'm going?" Popov pointed to his nose, his face full of astonishment.

"Yes, of course you have to verify your ideas, go young man, and show courage if you really find a treasure...... Uh, I can reward you with double your salary. ”

"That's only twenty gold coins, you're really generous!" Popov reluctantly jumped out of the trailer, grabbed a spear and walked to the ice cave.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Popov cautiously approached the ice cave, poked his spear inside, and then went in to take a look.

After a while, he retracted his head, turned around and shrugged at Mikhail, and said with a regretful face: "There's nothing in it, and the black rumbling can't see the bottom......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden hissing sound behind him, as if something was sliding rapidly against the ice.

Roland stood up abruptly and shouted at Popov: "Come back!" ”

The young fellow had obviously not come to his senses yet, and was stunned for a moment, then turned and slowly retreated.

Bang! A large amount of snow mixed with broken ice and melting snow poured out of the pit, like a bright fountain rising into the sky.

Popov was so frightened that he screamed, slipped and fell to the ground.

At this time, the ice cave stopped erupting, and a huge monster crawled out against the ice wall.

It looked like a giant centipede, with a body of numerous arthropods, each symmetrically flanked by a pair of feet, four slender antennae on its head, and a pair of large, sharp pincers lined up on either side of its throat, spurting hot air from its mouth.

The monster was about twenty feet long from head to tail, its shell was blue-white, and it was very hidden in the snow, with a coronal bone protruding from the top of its head, and similar organs extending along its spine to its tail, like a row of thorns, pulsating with red light, emitting a suffocating scorching aura, causing the temperature around it to rise rapidly, and the ice and snow began to melt.

Mikhail's face changed with fright, frightened by this hideous-looking giant insect, and hurriedly shouted at Popov: "Come back!" ”

Popov didn't want to get out of danger quickly, but he was so frightened by the monster that his feet were too weak to stand up, and he barely mustered up a little courage to clench his spear and wave it wildly, trying to scare the other party away.

The monster's huge compound eyes flashed with a faint cold light, and it suddenly bent down and bit the spear, its strong jaw easily biting off the wooden handle, and the tip of the spear forged from steel was melted by the heat in its mouth, and the molten iron flowed.

Popov was stunned as he held the shaft of the half-cut spear, and before he could react, the monster pounced again.

"Damn it!" Roland cursed to himself, turned on his accelerator boots and rushed over, trying to replace Popov from the "hundred-legged beast" with the "shapeshifting cloak". However, it was too late after all, and the hundred-legged monster bit Popov's head and swallowed him piece by piece, while Popov burned all over his body, and the miserable scream was terrifying.

"His grandmother's big centipede, come to Lao Tzu! I have the ability to swallow Uncle Ben too! Bloom grabbed the hammer and charged at the hundred-legged beast.

Roland saw through at a glance what kind of calculation this dwarf was playing, and hurriedly grabbed him, and said angrily: "Don't go over to die, your trick of Sun Wukong tossing the princess of the iron fan will not work against the hundred-legged demonic beast." ”

Bloom heard Roland tell the story of the battle between the "Transfiguration Archmage and Legendary Warrior Monk Sun Wukong" and the legendary witch "Iron Fan Princess" on a certain continent in the East, Master Sun used the "Shrinking Technique" to burrow into the witch's belly to make waves and his tactical idea of taking the initiative to throw himself into the arms of the giant beast to devour, as the so-called "strong fortress is always the easiest to attack from the inside", but he didn't understand why this trick didn't work for the big centipede.

Roland saw that Bloom's face was full of anger, so he had to explain patiently: "You will not die immediately if you are swallowed by an ordinary large creature such as a giant crocodile, except for the blunt trauma caused by the compression of the stomach wall, you will only suffer from not strong stomach acid corrosion, but the hundred-legged monster is different, this guy's body temperature is extremely high, and he will be severely burned if he touches it slightly, and his stomach is also full of burning acid, and it will melt into pus and blood in less than a minute if he is swallowed - even if you are swallowed by a dragon, it will not be worse than this, and taking the initiative to drill into its stomach is tantamount to killing yourself!" ”

"Hey! Brother Roland, you said I can't do it, so what can you do to deal with that big centipede? Bloom was still a little unconvinced.

Roland's method was very simple, he just turned around and shouted:

"Nikita!" (To be continued.) )
