The waterhole was only a dozen miles away from the Snowman Gate, and an hour later, Dai Damont and Paladin arrived at the stables outside the Snowman Gate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A carriage had stopped there, and a middle-aged uncle was sitting in the carriage, holding a dog's tail grass in his mouth, leisurely looking at the passing crowd.

Dai Dameng stepped forward and asked the uncle, "Are you running the carriage?" ”

"Hey, you're asking the right person." The uncle said proudly: "I have been running a carriage for 20 years, I am familiar with all the roads in the sky, I have dotted every level, and it is absolutely safe to ride in my carriage, and the fee is fair." ”

Dai Dameng didn't care about this, as long as he was willing to run a car, so he asked impatiently: "I want to go to the Gukar Monument, how much?" ”

"You know." The uncle looked embarrassed and said, "The Gukar Monument is in the wilderness, and it is difficult to pull guests back to the city, so whether you are a one-way trip or a round-trip trip, I will charge for both trips." Twenty septins are required. ”

"Okay." Dai Dameng counted twenty gold coins and handed them to his uncle, and then boarded the carriage, and Paladin followed him.

"Maybe I didn't make it clear," the uncle looked at Paladin and said lightly, "I mean twenty septins for one person." ”

Paladin turned his head to Dai Dameng, who immediately turned his head and said, "My brother is settling accounts." ”

Standing on the carriage, the field of vision was even wider, and at this time Dai Dameng found that the snow-filled city gate was bustling and very lively. There were several tents in the center of the crowd, and a few people in the middle had hairy heads and tails. It was a cat man, and he didn't know if Groome was in it.

Dai Dameng immediately jumped out of the carriage and squeezed into the crowd.

"Hey, what do you want to buy?" In the crowd, a black female cat man sat on a stall in front of the open top, squinting green eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, and said hoarsely: "Akari's goods are the most complete meow......"

There were seven cat people here, and they almost looked the same in the eyes of Dai Dameng, and he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and asked Akari, "Is Grum not here?" ”

"Grum? He was a generous guest. Akari stretched out his furry hand, pointed out the crowd, and said, "Isn't he right there?" ”

Dai Dameng followed her fingers and saw a cat man in cyan steel plate armor, lying on his back on a flat boulder like mud, his black and yellow mottled furry head hanging weakly from the edge of the stone, his eyes were misty, his mouth was open, his mouth was full of wine, his tongue hung outside his mouth, and his tongue kept flowing down the corners of his mouth.

It was Grum, who was now like an upstart, with ten fingers full of rings and a dozen jeweled necklaces around his neck, jeweled and golden.

Demon had been worried that Gurum would have an accident, and it seemed that his worries were unfounded. Not only did Grum escape the Giant King's pursuit, but he also managed to steal the Giant King's jewels.

Dai Dameng walked up to him and said happily, "Hey, Grum, it's great that you're still alive." ”

"Meow ......" Gurum shook his head, his eyes slowly focused on Dai Dameng, his face froze, and then he said happily: "Boss......"

He turned over suddenly, rubbed his head into Dai Dameng's arms, and said, "You're still alive, and Grum is worried about meow...... Why is your helmet missing? ”

"I'll hand it over to your brother for safekeeping." Seeing that the cat man was fine, Dai Dameng's heart that had always been hanging was put down, and then he remembered the cat man stealing money, grabbed his neck and said, "Quickly pay back my money!" ”

"Boss......" Grum squinted his eyes and said, "Your money was scammed out by the big giant......"

"!" Damon interrupted him angrily, pointed to his ring and necklace and said, "You have money now, pay it back quickly." ”

"This is Gurum's own money," Gurum said, grabbing the necklace around his neck and stretching it out to his eyes, his big eyes full of the reflection of jewels, "This is what Gurum took from the big giant, he deceived Gurum, and Gurum wants him to pay back ten, a hundred times......"

Dai Dameng reasoned with him: "No, if you didn't have me and Brother Guiren dragging the Giant King, you wouldn't have been able to get the jewels, and these jewels are half of us." ”

Groome glared at the big innocent eyes and said, "Grum asked you to help deal with the big giant, but you didn't agree. Later, when you dealt with the big giants, it was not for the sake of Grum, who took the jewels of the big giants by his own ability, and gave you half of them. ”

What he said seemed to make sense, but Dai Dameng was speechless.

"Hey, you can't say that." Paladin couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said, "He is your boss, and all your things should be handed over to the boss." ”

"It's the robber's theory." Gurum rolled his eyes and said angrily: "The boss should think about Gurum, if the boss wants to rob Gurum's money, Gurum will not recognize him as the boss, meow!" ”

"This ......," he said made a point, and Paladin was speechless.

In fact, compared to the safety of his brothers, Dai Dameng didn't care about Gurum's jewelry, didn't bother to argue with him, and asked him: "Well, I don't want your money." Now I'm going to the Gukar Monument, do you want to come with me? ”

"Don't go!" Gurum said without thinking: "Gurum has money now, there is endless moon candy, and there is endless mead, Gurum is not going anywhere, meow ......"

Dai Dameng had no choice but to return to the carriage, and the driving uncle shook the reins, and the driving horse neighed, and the cart was about to move forward.

Suddenly, the carriage shook and stopped, and the horse kept neighing, but the carriage seemed to be stuck in something and remained motionless.

At this time, the driving uncle smiled and said, "Your Excellency Warrior, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Dai Dameng looked up and saw a tall man in green glass armor, holding the wheel with one hand, and actually stopped the carriage alive.

The man was about thirty years old, with short dark red hair, a dark complexion, and a face full of vicissitudes, and asked coldly, "Where are you going?" ”

Dai Dameng secretly admired that person, he also had this strength, but he would grit his teeth and not be so calm.

The driving uncle said calmly: "Gukar monument." ”

The indifferent man asked, "How much?" The man didn't seem to be a talker, and each sentence was extremely short and stiff.

The driving uncle also replied briefly: "Twenty septin." ”

The cold-faced man stopped talking, counted out twenty gold coins and handed them to the driving uncle, then jumped into the carriage, his cold eyes swept over Dai Dameng and Paladin, and then sat down.

The driving uncle shook the reins, and the carriage sped away from the snow.

Dai Daemon and Paladin chatted happily about their experiences, and when he told the story of the fifty-two brothers who re-walked the path of the Dragonborn, Paladin leaned back with a smile, "Hahaha, the village chief lied to you, what kind of Dragonborn are you, he just wants to trick you to go." ”

Daemon wondered why no one believed he was a Dragonborn. They must be jealous, Dai Dameng has long been accustomed to it, patted his chest, and said confidently: "One day I kill a dragon, you will know if I am a dragonborn." ”

Paladin laughed so hard that tears flowed down his eyes, and at this moment, the corners of the cold-faced man's mouth curled indistinctly, and he was snickering. A smile is the best way to draw into the relationship between people, and Dai Dameng feels as if he can communicate with him.

"Hey, don't believe me." Dai Dameng patted the indifferent man on the shoulder and said, "The next time the dragon appears in Skyrim Province, I will definitely kill it for you to see." ”

The man's body suddenly tensed like a bowstring, and a hint of fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and Dai Dameng felt the snow mouse mark flash in his mind, and he was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.

The man didn't speak coldly, and Dai Dameng didn't dare to speak anymore, and the atmosphere that had just eased up suddenly became cold.

The carriage was fast, and an hour later, they reached a junction. There is a small road to the north on the main road, and there are two small hills that are very close to each other one kilometer in front of the path, and the two small hills are facing each other from east to west, forming a pass between them.

The indifferent man suddenly spoke, "It's here." ”

The driver stopped the carriage and asked suspiciously, "Your Excellency Warrior, are you sure to get off here?" I need to remind you that the mountain pass ahead is actually a den of robbers. ”

"Not from today." The indifferent man jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the pass without looking back.

Diomon and Paladin continued on their way, and walked another four or five miles to their destination.

On the north side of the main road, there is a wide valley, with a radius of dozens of miles, the terrain is flat, standing on the main road, the scenery of the valley is unobstructed.

To the north of the valley are the ruins of a city, and to the west of the valley there is a towering monument, the Gukar Monument.

On the south side of the valley, under the cliff next to the main road, there is a small lake, no more than a hundred meters in circumference, and the mudflats around the lake are dotted with many stones of different sizes, the large ones are the size of a basin, and the small ones are about the size of eggs. In the northeast corner of the lake, there is a smooth monolithic boulder, like a small house, which is very conspicuous.

Mireururks can only survive near the water's edge, and trials must be near this small lake.

Dalmont and Paladin walked to the lake and carefully walked around the rocks on the mudflats.

These stones are actually the exposed shells of mirelurks. Mireururks are scavengers that like to eat the rotting flesh of drowned animals, leaving only clean white bones. But they are also masters of ambushes. They lurk in the mire, leaving only their stone-like shells exposed, and if a careless prey enters their ambush circle, they emerge from the mire, drag the prey into the mire with their strong, sharp claws, and drown in them, before feasting.

Wearing and Paladin walked along the surface of the lake, avoiding startling them, and slowly came to the great boulder in the northeast corner of the small lake.

The boulder is in the shape of a thick round cake with a diameter of three meters, like a small house. If you look closely, it can be divided into two halves, and where the two halves meet, there is a ridge that surrounds the boulder. The boulder stands at the water's edge, its head held high in front of it, like a giant mirelurk, with a mouth and eyes, lifelike.

The shells of mirelurks will gradually become stony, harder and heavier as they grow.

Maybe it's really the shell left by a dead mireurur, but the usual mireururk has difficulty moving when it grows to the size of a basin, and it's hard to grow up again, so I don't know how this mireurk grew so big.

Dai Dameng was exclaiming, and suddenly the mark that Floki had painted on his body was slightly hot, and with a bang, a soul storm suddenly erupted out of thin air, and a huge blue mireurk shadow like a small house appeared in front of him.

The spirit of the mirelururk has finally found it.

The Spirit of the Mireururk raised its massive claws and rushed towards Dai Dameng.

Dai Dameng remembered the experience of the snow rat trial and Tashiti's words, and hurriedly said to the spirit of the mireurk with his mind: "Stop, I'm not here to fight, I'm going to start a special trial." ”

"Huh......" The spirit of the mirelurk lowered its claws and stopped in front of Dai Dameng, a slow old voice came into his mind, "You...... How...... What...... Know...... Road...... Special...... Special...... Try...... ...... refining

He spoke so slowly that Dai Dameng listened very uncomfortably, as if he had a breath that choked in his throat and couldn't get out.

Finally, when he finished speaking, Dai Dameng immediately said, "It was Graybeard who told me." ”

"Yes...... Meaning...... Think...... Scold...... Heh......" the mirelurk spirit said with a slight smile in his tone, "Look...... Come...... You...... Come...... Arrive...... This...... Village...... Break off...... Not...... Idol...... Correct...... That...... What...... You...... Know...... Road...... Special...... Special...... Try...... Refine...... Target...... Meaning...... Righteousness...... ......"

His slow pace of speech was maddening, and Dai Dameng couldn't help but urge him to say, "I know that I have completed the special trial of the snow rat spirit. I'm in a hurry, let's stop talking and start the trial quickly! ”

The spirit of the mireururk said slowly, "Huh...... Scold...... As...... You...... Place...... May ......"

Then, a cloud of green light erupted towards Dai Dameng, and with a bang, when Dai Dameng opened his eyes again, he found that he had indeed turned into a mirelurk the size of a fingernail.

With the experience of the last Snow Mouse Trial, Dai Dameng knew that he would be able to return to reality after death, so he completed the trial. So, he stretched out his eight little short legs and crawled and crawled hard.

There are many ways to die a baby mirelurk, to be eaten by a waterfowl, to be eaten by a piranha, or to be pinched to death.

But he looked around, and there were no animals around except mirelurks, but mirelurks did not kill their own kind.

How can this die, it makes Dai Dameng worried. Raising his small pincers and slapping the shell vigorously, he suddenly had an idea when he saw the huge mirelurk standing by the water's edge.

Dai Dameng stretched out his eight small short legs and desperately climbed up the back of the giant mireururk. The back of the giant mirelurk crab has been washed by years of rain, and it is very smooth, and Dai Dameng has slid down again and again. But he was not discouraged, and after a lot of hardship, he finally climbed to the top of the giant mirelurk.

Just below the giant mireururk lurked a basin-sized mirelurk, revealing its hard shell like a stone.

Dai Dameng was very happy, aimed at the shell of the mireururk, kicked his leg hard, turned over, and fell on his back. Yes, he was going to fall to his death.

However, Dai Dameng was not accustomed to such a perspective after becoming a mirelurk, which led to a bias in his estimates. With a snap, he landed in the soft mud next to the mireururk.

Poor Dai Dameng, whose shell was stuck in the mire, scratched in vain with his eight legs, could not turn over.

At this time, the weather was already relatively cold, the mireurk crab was about to reach the dormant season, and the rate of energy consumption was extremely slow, poor Dai Dameng, hungry and cold, dry mouth, dizzy and black, experienced seven days and nights in the mire, and finally exhausted the last trace of energy.

With a bang, Dai Dameng's eyes flickered, and his consciousness returned to reality, seeing the spirit of the mireururk standing in front of him.

When he finally returned, Dai Dameng was crying. In the past seven days, he has experienced the process of death minute by minute, and he feels that he doesn't want to do it again.

These days suffer a lot more than the snow rats did in those months, and the spirit of the mireururk must compensate. Dai Dameng hurriedly said to him: "Hey, I have finally completed the trial, hurry up and reward me." ”

The spirit of the mireurk said slowly, "No...... You...... Not...... Yes...... Finish...... Yes...... Try...... ...... refining

"How is that possible!" Dai Dameng jumped up angrily, "I was starved to death, why do you say that I didn't complete the trial?" ”
