Chapter 18: The Path of Rebellion (3)

Eltord's path to the northwest was forever different from that of a human, relying on his massive but agile body and eight long, pointed spider legs to weave between the cliffs and trees.

Butos wanted to go into his hometown as he passed by, but Butos suddenly remembered what Eltord had done in the town square, and for fear that he would kill him again, Butos had to suppress his longing for his hometown again.

Whenever the moon rises in the south and the stars fill the night sky, Butos takes out the "Tears of the Shark" again. Each time, he longed to see old Butos through the fog, but we know the outcome......

Eltold's excellent marching ability no longer works when it reaches the Ice Field.

The northwest of the world is a place of extreme cold, and bare ridges, sparse trees, and raging blizzards force Eltodd to retract his spider form, knowing that the winds of the ice fields are more merciful to the smaller......

When he first entered the ice field, Butos was wrapped like a pine cone, and the layers of warm clothing made Butos's movement extremely inconvenient.

But fortunately, Eltord is extremely strong, and with Eltord, Butos does not have too much trouble to move forward on the ice field.

Eltod advanced slowly but forcefully in front, while Butos was led by Elto. Eltord's strong arms always reminded Butos of old Butos.

This is how old Butos walked on the frozen river with little Butos. At that time, Butos still seemed to be able to see the fish swimming slowly under the ice......

Thinking of this, Butos also looked at his feet, some places were covered with ice and snow, and some places were bottomless ice blue...... What will be buried in the deep ice of the ice field?treasure or sleeping dragon?, Butos imagines wildly......

"Eltord," Butos asked Butol in the blizzard with all his strength, and as soon as he spoke, Butos regretted it, and the snow and ice ballast were swallowed into Butos' stomach in a big gulp: "What's under the ice field?"

Eltod's voice was still low, but strangely enough, Butos could still hear what Eltold was saying in the snow.

"What lies beneath the ice field is eternal...... Perhaps only the priests know......"

Butos suddenly felt regretful, and he should have asked old Butos about everything beneath the ice sheet earlier.

"Eltod, what else does old Butos know?

Eltodd was in a rare confusion: "Old Butos ......"

Just as Butos was full of longing for the road ahead, and Eltord had not yet understood Butos's words, a high-pitched and rough wolf howl sounded out from nowhere.

Butos shuddered, and Eltodd stood still.

Then another howl of wolves rang out around Butos and Eltord. Butos couldn't help but clench his dagger (Eltord had sharpened it from the boar's fangs, not the one that Lilvay had given to Butos).

Eltord looked around, and all he could see was the wind and snow......

However, just behind the wind and snow lies an infinite crisis.

In order to protect Butos, Eltord took on the form of a giant spider, and while the creatures in the ice field may not know what the big creature is, Eltord's terrifying appearance may deter them.

The wolves of the ice field are still hiding behind the ice. Butos and Eltord could only see the wind and snow, and the invisible threat was terrifying to Butos, while Eltord remained on guard.

In the extreme cold, the confrontation lasted for a long time.

In the end, Eltord had to make everything go faster, because even if he had the ability to wear down the wolves, the weak Butos wouldn't be able to hold on for long.

Eltodd let out a huge roar.

A tearing roar that was even more intimidating in the midst of the blizzard resounded around Butos and Eltord.

A few scrambled wolf barks responded to Eltold.

Eltodd continued to roar. Butos clutched his ears tightly.

After a duel of howls and howls, the wolves flinched. And the invisible threat that originated after the wind and snow has gradually disappeared......

Eltord regained his tall human form and pulled Butos as he began to move on through the ice fields.

"Oh my God...... What if those guys pounced just now?" Butos was still shocked, he didn't know how powerful the wolves of the far north were, and a certain scar on old Butos's back was caused by them.

Eltold's pace is as steady as ever: "They only shoot when you run out of stamina...... Emissary...... Please keep your strength and don't speak...... Eltodd will protect you...... Until the place where the messenger should come......"

Butos swallowed.

Indeed, speaking in the midst of such a storm was not a wise decision.

After a long and silent trek, Eltord led Butos to the gap between two boulders.

The wind and snow were even more rampant in the gaps between the boulders, and Butos felt like he was almost blown away...... And Eltodd told Butos: "We will spend the night here tonight......"

Although Butos was not so good at adapting, this time, Butos had to protest: "Oh my God! You're not kidding! Eltold! I'll be ice when I wake up tomorrow morning!"

Eltodd didn't answer Butos, just stared at Butos with his empty eyes.

At this point, Butos was surprised to find that Eltold's left eye no longer seemed so intimidating, or rather, his left and right eyes were now exactly the same, not at all as if they had been gouged out.

Eltord stared at Butos for a long time, perhaps because Eltord finally felt that what Butos said was not true, or that it was for the purpose of currying favor with the messenger to curry favor with the priests, Eltord finally decided to do something.

Eltodd strode out of the stone gap.

"Hey, what are you going to do!" called Butos.

Eltodd had transformed into a giant spider again, the wind and snow howling, but it couldn't shake his body in the slightest.

"Don't leave! Eltold! I beg ......"

As soon as Butos was about to plead, Eltodd proved that Butos's fears were unnecessary.

Eltord climbed the boulder and weaved thick cobwebs along the way, blocking the gaps in the boulder with cobwebs......

When Eltodd had done all this, Butos suddenly felt that it was not cold, but there was still a hint of warmth.

Eltodd eventually returned to human form, back to Butos's side.

Perhaps Butos felt that all this was not enough, so Butos dug out a few pieces of travel wood from his backpack and lit them with flint.

When Butos lit the fire and got into the woolen blanket, Butos happily said "good night" to Eltold.

It is impossible to see the moon tonight, so Butos did not take out the "Tears of the Shark" as before.

Eltord didn't plan to sleep, he sat on the other side of the campfire.

"Good night...... The messenger ...... Eltord's voice was still hoarse and cold.

But Butos now sounds like Eltodd's voice is something else...... Cute? No, no, no! Eltodd has nothing to do with cuteness......

Butos thought wildly, and finally fell asleep in a daze.

Eltodd looked at Butos's smiling cheeks in his sleep, his eyes still glazed and hollow.

Does Butos dream of old Butos?

We don't know, but we know for sure that Butos won't see old Butos again......

Oh, poor boy......
