It's cold, dry, and even cooler than outside. The liquid in this ice cave is almost always in the form of solid ice crystals attached to the surface of the rock wall, and there is also a hard frozen ground underfoot.

Only Oran knows that the Ice Cave is not a simple cave. Judging by the subtle and regular traces on the rock face, as well as the strange and frequent patterns of uniform patterns, it is not difficult to surmise that this ice cave was most likely excavated and built by intelligent beings.

It leads underground and may even stretch for tens to hundreds of miles, crisscrossing like an underground labyrinth. It may end up in an extremely large underground kingdom.

Oran had spent more than a year exploring on his own, sometimes for a month or two in the underground labyrinth. In that dark environment, the vertical pupils of nocturnal creatures gave him great convenience.

Although there are sometimes patches of fluorescent mushrooms and fluorescent mosses that emit a faint turquoise light...... When he ran out of food and water, he even ate spiders, snakes, and cold, slimy worms for weeks.

And the further down you go, the more you can feel that the biological species in the ice cave are gradually increasing, and even a complete underground ecosystem has been formed. That's why Orlan was able to survive being trapped for a few months. Anyway, there is something here, and he almost eats a side when he can move.

Perhaps this was also due to Oran's peculiar constitution, as the old hunter described him as even as a little beast when he was a child, and was found in a hollow in a tree in the camp of Giant Wood, wrapped in swaddles of coarse linen.

I didn't cry or make trouble, and I don't know how long I was hungry, but I kept staring at the old hunter with a pair of big red and round vertical eyes. The old hunter fed him the milk of the she-horned deer, and seemed to be so hungry that he drank up a bag of deer's milk.

Despite the opposition of his fellow hunters, the old hunter, who had no relatives and nothing to rely on, insisted on bringing him back to the village. At first, almost everyone thought that the silver-haired, red-eyed baby was a bad omen, the son of some evil creature that would bring calamity to everyone......

But it turned out that Oran's arrival was only a joy and trouble for the old hunter.

Just like children of the same age...... Of course, according to the old hunter, Orlan is a child in other ways except for his amazing physique like a dragon cub.

Two years ago, Oran ate almost all the animals and plants in the ice cave, poisonous or non-toxic, and the only side effect is that Oran now has an extreme aversion to all raw meat. I'd rather be hungry for ten days without getting a little raw meat.

Ice cave spiders, some can even grow to the size of an adult earth dog. Their venom mainly works by freezing the blood, slowing down the flow of blood and reducing the frequency of contractions in the heart muscle. A person who is poisoned will feel an unusually cold all over his body......

In Orlan's recipe, the big spider can only eat its eight legs, and I believe that I have seen the dark green, blue, and red in the abdominal cavity...... No one will like it.

"Ahh These damn spiders! The thing I hated the most when I was a child was spiders, these fluffy eight-legged bugs, and they were so big! "I can't imagine that a nervous, fearless warrior like Zach could have something to fear.

"Just be careful of their poisonous crows, just meet them with a sword and split their heads."

"I smell blood...... "The air coming in from outside the cave usually slows down after encountering some wide space until it is almost imperceptible.

Maybe you've walked for miles, and then you've come to an even wider subterranean space, so wide that you can't see the edge.

"Looks like we've found the person we're looking for."

……

"Yes...... Is that you? William, the firelight pierces me so much that I can't open my eyes...... It must be you, you're too slow. I waited a long time...... "This is a young female voice, no more than twenty years old." Hoarse with helplessness and joy, wheezing lightly and tiredly, listening to the sound may be a serious injury to the lungs and internal organs.

However, she insisted on standing up against the rock wall, carrying a large sword almost her height, was this her weapon? It's hard to imagine her slender arms wielding such a broadsword......

"William, allow me to challenge you as Arnos...... Ahem, I just want to die by your sword...... As Lilian Janos. ”

"What about your subordinates, why are you alone?" William took a few steps forward, seemingly not intent on drawing his sword.

“…… All of them are dead, and the few people who remain, you also saw it. They tried to protect me, and there were too many spiders for us to handle. ”

Orlan looked at the three corpses not far away, and there were many large spiders. Their faces were almost iron-blue, was it because these people attracted most of the spiders? So they've had a good journey.

"You met the Frost Giant?"

"Please stop talking nonsense, I'm here to kill you...... Hehe, it looks like you're not dead yet. Oh, why do you still have a silver-haired woman, ha, this really suits your style. ”

“…… You can't move anymore, do you still have to fight? ”

"Huh. It seems that after two years of studying at the Royal Knight Academy of the Empire, you have learned nothing...... You're better suited to fiddle with the flowers and plants like you used to, drink with the brothel girls, and brag your head on stage...... Haha clam, I can't even imagine you learning to jump in tight-hipped leggings...... Ahem, ahem. She seemed so agitated that the blood she coughed up dripped from her tiny chin onto the armor on her chest.

"Enough! I wouldn't do it to a woman who can't even stand on her feet. ”

"William, are you already so poor? It's a shame to look at you and your men's gear...... Quick, pick up your rusty iron sword and kill me, and there will be no one to stop another male from becoming a ...... in the North" Before the woman could finish speaking, she had exhausted the last of her strength and fell to the ground.

"Bernie, count me as the only request I have for you in this life, don't kill her...... At least I'll do it myself," William pressed Bernie's right hand beside him, drawing his sword. Bernie looked at the woman who had fallen and sighed......

It seems that William is not going to kill this woman who seems to be an enemy, at least not now.

"Lord Oran, can you save her? I mean, I still have important things to ask her, I can't just let her die. ”

Orlan walked over to the blonde woman and looked at her carefully.

Well, it should be said that it is a young girl. She was probably two or three years older than Oran, and she could be found between her eyebrows and eyes to look like William. Especially the innate self-confidence of the eyebrows and feet, with the fair and tall Qiong nose, it looks heroic.

And the delicate and small size of her face seems a little childish, which is in stark contrast to her unrestrained verbal ridicule.
