……

In the evening, as the sun sets, a hurricane comes in from the west side of the Red Canyon, not very cold, but mixed with ice slag and a little more wind and snow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's true that he doesn't feel much cold in the Eagle Man state, but Zoro thinks that if it weren't for the Eagle King state, he would have frozen to death in one night.

Armed with a few Eagle Warriors, Sauron went out of his way to observe the west side of the Grand Canyon.

"To the west of the Bloodstained Grand Canyon, there is nothing but an ice desert. For the time being, the path of exploration to the west was put off. ”

Raising his head and drinking the last sip of water from the water bag, Sauron took out the wooden slab and marked the western landscape of the canyon.

At this moment, standing on the ice wall, you can see more or less all the strange growth of vegetation in the ice.

Majestic, quiet, always in a monotonous color, always a scorching snow-white.

In the evening, the wind on the ice field hits, the ice slag flies, and the sky is dark, and this is literally the world of Vernagant snow, with no place to stand.

Waves of snow surged forward, like an invisible giant hand, pushing the distant snowfields up one layer after another.

I heard the Hawkman Warrior explain, "Here, two years ago, was still a meadow. ”

When Sauron heard this, he immediately realized that this snowy desert in the distance was walking wantonly, and they all said that "man transforms nature", and many times, on the contrary, Sauron thinks that it is always nature that transforms everything.

A flash of light reflected off the ground, causing Yasolon to feel an inexplicable burning sensation in his vision. He took two steps forward, bent down and picked a crystal clear stone in the ice field, and raised the stone with one hand, in the section of the stone, you can see that there are many purple crystals, which are crystal-like glowing, glassy, and show extremely beautiful colors under the sunlight.

“…… There is no waste in this world, but the treasure is misplaced and becomes waste. ”

Not only this stone mixed with crystals, but also people.

As long as the excess can be removed; Everyone can have a spirit of perfection, as long as the flaws and imperfections are removed.

Stuffing this strange stone mixed with crystals into their bags, the group returned to the canyon.

To be sure, a single canyon separates two different geographies. And this change has only happened for two years. It feels a little weird.

But with the presence of the Red Grand Canyon, Zoro at least didn't have to worry that the Eagle King's territory would be eroded by this walking snowfield.

The Red Grand Canyon is only at least 9 kilometers away from the Eagle King's territory, and it will only take two or three hours to walk normally. The flight would be there in the blink of an eye, but with four thousand black-haired slaves to be carried, and a large amount of loot to be sorted, Sauron planned to stay overnight and wait until dawn before setting off.

But what Sauron didn't expect was that he would spend an extremely long night here.

Back in the valley, his ears were listening to his own heartbeat, his throat was thirsty, and sweat crawled over his twisted cheeks like water worms. Holding his hands, his bones aching as if he had been punished, his stomach was empty, and his eyes were glazed with thirst.

Water does not alleviate this strange symptom, but only makes you thirstier the more you drink.

Sauron considered himself strong-willed, and he forced himself to endure. Poisoning also thought about poisoning more than once in my head! But the normal behavior of the Eagle Man Warrior made him quickly veto this possibility.

This strange thirst reached its violent apex, and Sauron could not feel the tongue and teeth in his mouth, only the boiling anger that seemed to have lost his mind. "Come on, arrest all the barbarians who have approached me within ten meters today. Kill!!! ”

The heart was beating violently, but the blood seemed to be getting thicker and slower.

At night, the blood vessels in his body, hands, and neck were purple and violent.

Minute by minute, time flowed through the trembling fingertips, like a silent file, painful and slow.

After falling into a coma from intense pain and then waking up from a coma, Zoro found that the sky at this time had slightly revealed proteins.

Looking up, the clouds seemed to be intentionally gathered on the horizon, as if soaked in blood, showing a faint red.

Looking straight into the clouds on the horizon, Zoro found his gaze sharper.

The slightly bulging chest and the bulging muscles of his arms made him feel the power in his body, like an invisible 'wall'.

"It's like an illusion that I couldn't feel this power before, as if it was because of the lack of a focal point."

This can be done by giving such an example:

If you push your hands forward out of thin air, you won't be able to feel the force of your arms pushing out anyway.

However, if there is a wall in front of you, when you push the wall harder, every part of your body will feel the power clearly.

Now, Sauron could fully appreciate the abundant power that permeated him.

The strength and flexibility of the muscles in all parts of the body have been enhanced like never before. This is undoubtedly a real change.

Look down at your arms with both eyes, watch your biceps slowly contract, and feel the slight vibration brought by the explosive force of the muscles.

More than once in Sauron's mind, he thought of the stone he had picked up on the ice field. By the time I got back to that position, the glowing stones were gone.

……

Looking down at the cave, I saw the Ice Clan who were executed by the Eagle Man and died.

Zoro tugged at the corners of his mouth and let out a helpless wry smile.

In the morning, a milky white mist fills the blood-stained Grand Canyon, and although the sun is not yet visible, it exudes the smell of the sun beginning to burn.

Compared with the sweltering valley, the valley in the early morning is slightly fragrant, and the night rain washes away the fragrance of flowers and plants, and with the wind, it drifts into the pores of Sauron's every breath.

After an hour. The slaves marching on the plains, and the supplies on the backs of pack beasts, like a long dragon, 9 outcast tribes, as Rudolph said before, only need the presence of the green-haired warriors, and they can be peacefully collected without force in the name of the ruler of the valley.

The sky is a large area of blue, and the ground is a pure white building. In the pillar-like porch, a string of tiny right-angled toothed fabric decorations is specially hung today.

Witnessing the Eagle Man warriors bringing back tens of thousands of slaves, the architect Gareth stretched out his arms to the sides, and a pair of cloudy eyes were instantly filled with enthusiasm.

"Cheers to the prosperity of the Eagle King's territory! ――”

The slave maiden greeted the triumphant warrior with an enthusiastic dance. Under the surprised gaze of Architect Garrys, many people pointed at the Ice Clan slaves who had entered the Eagle King's territory. The busy figure of the slaves filled the warehouses with all kinds of booty and daily necessities.

……

However, at this time, 60 miles away from the Eagle King's territory, drowning in a nameless river, Zoro clearly felt that his nose was drinking water, and his lungs were choking to the point of almost suffocation.

His soul is also almost cut off from reality. In the past less than two hours, this wild wilderness has performed a classic wilderness escape.

When the calm river surface, countless blisters gushed out, and the whole head of Zoro slowly floated to the surface, and his face was covered with many unknown green algae.

"Who would have thought that in the south of the ice field, there would be these murderous and dangerous races active."

The bitterness of Sauron cannot be conveyed in words. "Perhaps, this is a warning and a profound lesson."

Explore the southern part of the plains, nothing more than a whim.

And with wings to travel, Sauron didn't expect to be attacked.

But the facts told him that in this wild continent, even if he walked a few hundred meters forward, there were always some unknown dangers lurking.

Dealing with two eagles alone, Sauron broke the neck bone of one and crushed the Adam's apple of the other.

Thinking back to the two hateful faces in my mind, a group of savage humanoids, except for a head that resembles an eagle man and feathers on their bodies, they are not as tall as ordinary eagles, but even if they don't use wings to run on all fours, the explosive speed can surpass anyone else.

You can't escape, you can't escape.

The Eagle Clan brutally tore apart the three Hawkman retinue, and Sauron tugged at the corners of his mouth, secretly noting the hatred.

Sauron slipped several times and fell into the water with a 'plop', taking a bite of the mud.

Within two seconds, he would lose all his strength and could only lie on the ground convulsively, resting and waiting.

The body that was about to collapse seemed to be unable to continue to support it.

But what bothered him even more was that he was rounded up by a group of eagle clans, because in his ears, there was always a strong cry of the eagle clan passing on to each other~~~~

…………

It sounded like a grim reaper's version of the whistling, and Sauron couldn't understand what they were shouting at each other. He hid himself under the glacier, blinked, peeked through the cracks in the ice, and peered into the sky.

As the sun approaches noon, the weather becomes cloudy.

And in such a situation, the only feeling in his heart is: "A person's situation and change are really so fast." ”

"If this scene, I am fortunate to be under the gaze of the god of the sky. Then please protect me and get out of trouble from the minions of the Eagle Clan, and then ...... I will fulfill the duty of the Eagle King's sacrifice and build a temple for you in return. ”

For the first time in his life, he prayed to the god of the underworld, but at this time, he was soaked in water, and Zoro's eyes seemed to be slowly fluctuating with the full river.

At such a time, he only felt the silt on the banks of this river, burning nerves and burning blood vessels.

As a result, the corners of his mouth floated one wry smile after another.

The unfortunate encounter made it difficult for him to find the best way to express his emotions for a while, and the corners of his slightly resolute mouth pulled to the sides, and he spit out a few words frankly.

"Gods Protection!"

The feeling of collapse was not pleasant, because of the stimulation of the river, he felt half of his body suddenly start to tremble, and shivered.

But at this moment, Zoro felt even more unlucky, and what burned his hearing was that there were already eagle clans who began to search for this 'conspicuous' hiding place next to him.

……

"Is this coming?" The angular silver pupils of Sauron's gaze began to reveal a fierce atmosphere.

Through the cracks in the shaking ice, he could see a searching eagle, crouched on the ground.

The other party was tracking with his sense of smell, and let out a low roar from his throat, as if he were reading some kind of contract. At the same time, he will raise his head from time to time and keenly observe the wind and grass around him for tens of meters.

Zoro thought he couldn't escape the other party's search, and the green tendons of one of his exposed arms wriggled under his skin like a snake, and he didn't know where to use his strength to grope and grab a sharp ice chip.

He chose to lie quietly on his back in the mud and wait.

The belief of fighting to the death is carried through in Sauron's heart: "No matter what situation you find yourself in, do not unconditionally and completely entrust your life to the enemy." ”

The rain falling from the sky was very thin, and the eagle clan who kept approaching his steps were very broken and fast, but he searched very carefully.

Sauron could even hear his breath as he leaned down, swirling like a spinning top in the ripples of the water.

Facing the moment of death, Aaron chose to fight.

As for how it ends, whether he lives or dies, he will leave it to the gods in the underworld to decide.

……

It's now.

When the opponent was caught off guard, there was a 'flutter', and Zoro's palm suddenly poked out from under the water.

grabbed the other person's shoulders and pulled them close to the mud. Four pairs of wings fluttered back and forth, and with the sound of splashing, the two began to fight in the shallows.

In order to prevent too much noise, Sauron, who had been prepared, held the Eagle Clan's tone with his hand, turned upward, and inserted the hard branch from his eye socket into his mind. And stirred vigorously, with the other party's whimpering howl, the central nervous system of the carved person was stirred into a mess.

However, Zoro still underestimated the strength of the Eagle Clan, and the other party's desperate resistance to the movement of the other party, fluttering out of the waves, performing accompaniment in this shallow, echoing back and forth several times.

It wasn't until Sauron picked up a hard object and struck the other man's head hard that he didn't make a sound.

After a fierce battle, Sauron's chest calmed and he gasped for breath.

A force of excitation, especially when encountering any danger, it does not cause discouragement, but rage, but the explosive power of this force is definitely proportional to anger.

……

"――――――"

Suddenly, there was a carving sound. In Sauron's eyes, in addition to the corpse of a carved man at his feet, what was even more striking was that there was a carved man standing across the river.

This is something that Zoro hadn't discovered before. When the eagle in sight raised his head to the sky and chirped, Sauron gritted his teeth, stood up, and then spread his wings and flew north like an arrow from a string.

It had only been a few minutes since Zoro had flown out, and he was a little discouraged. Because—"It doesn't seem to be of any use at all." ”

Not only did his body collapse, but a pair of wings also began to freeze because of the cold, becoming more and more unable to fly, and becoming more and more strained, Zoro's chest began to pant profusely, and his whole body was a little soft, as if he was about to fall from the sky!

On the other hand, the Eagle Clan on the other side of the river had already flown up, and out of nowhere another companion had sprang out, and at this moment, they had both risen into the air quickly, and they were about to catch up. (To be continued.) )
