Chapter 290: The Elves Running Wild in the Snowy Night (Medium)
"Go away! Go away! Get out of the way! "This is the third day that Chen Kai and the others have left Teramis, because there has been no new snow in the forest during this time, so the traces of the path opened by the ancient necromancers in front of them are very clear. Chen Kai: They are stepping on Sagronzo, or should it be said that it is the current Keno? The path that Saron had stepped on was moving slowly, and although the path opened up by these ancient mages might have deviated from the direction, the undead master was still in the same direction.
So stepping on these flattened ice and snow Chen Kai's speed is still good, of course, it is definitely better than not finding Keno before? The path that Saron stepped out of was a little faster. But this undead puppet has huge hooves and a great stride. Therefore, Chen Kai's progress is not very smooth, because they still have to step on thick snow in the snow many times.
Fortunately, Chen Kai's winter wolf skin coat in their backpack was not discarded, and at the same time, these winter wolf skins did not have much anger for those winter wolves. Under the handiwork of the elves, the wolf smell on the winter wolf skin has disappeared, otherwise Chen Kai and they really don't have the courage to wear the winter wolf skin and dangle in front of the winter wolf. However, Chen Kai's wolf skin coat has not been exposed to the winter wolves, although the wolf smell on it is gone, but how to say that the color is still very close, God knows if these winter wolves will bite them because of this color, if they are bitten for this reason, they will have no place to cry.
Of course, Chen Kai and their idea is actually not necessary, because under the training of the ancient mages, these winter wolves have learned to be obedient, and if they don't learn to be obedient, they will be slaughtered and turned into skins. Even if those ancient mages were wearing freshly made nitrated skin, no winter wolf would dare to take a bite, as long as the ancient mages were coated with ointment, then no winter wolf would dare to speak. So Chen Kai's actions were a little too worried. But Chen Kai didn't know this, after all, they hadn't heard of this from the mouths of the ancient mages.
Push away the winter wolves that surround you. Chen Kai sighed a little helplessly, then took out the crystal in his pocket and began to search for the traces of Master Keno. Although Chen Kai knew that it was impossible to close the distance between the two sides in such a few days, he looked at the crystal pointer that could not see the edge yet. Chen Kai still had to sigh that the rumored escape master was really capable of running. Of course, this rumor was recently collected by Chen Kai and them, and it belongs to the legendary celebrity anecdotes. It's just that there is no doubt that this celebrity anecdote of Master Keno is really accurate, and it is clear that the Templar who chased him countless miles back then but still couldn't catch up was not wrong.
However, Chen Kai and the others didn't want to be the Templar Knight back then, who had been chasing Kino for three years, and Chen Kai and they obviously couldn't spend three years on a mission, it was simply a fatal thing. After all, three years in the game is more than a year in reality, which is not a short time. The reality of more than a year is directly consumed in this primeval forest in the north, Chen Kai and they are estimated to be not savages but also like savages after they come out. It's a pity that now Chen Kai and the others have entered this primeval forest, and there is no way to retreat if they want to. Because they had never been to the northern part of the Denzel Forest. There were no guiding crystals from the ancient mages in this forest, sea and snowfield, and they didn't even know the direction. Therefore, the farther away from Teramis, the more impossible it is for Chen Kai and them to run out of the forest to other places.
Looking at the white forest, Chen Kai and the others slowly moved forward, and what made them depressed was that the surrounding wolves couldn't even help at all except for eating. Chen Kai and the others originally hoped to tame these winter wolves and then use them as sled dogs to pull sleds, but winter wolves are winter wolves after all, not huskies. For Chen Kai's behavior, these winter wolves would only glance at Chen Kai and them, and then continue to lie in the snow with their stomachs turned over.
What made Chen Kai and them helpless was that these laipi wolves had been following them like a burden that they couldn't shake off, even if they released flying dragons to intimidate them, these winter wolves just chose to shrink around Chen Kai and them instead of directly picking up their tails and running away. If the Wyvern tried to attack, then hundreds of winter wolves would have taken their mouths in advance. For the safety of your own pet. Chen Kai could only endure these shameless winter wolves, and then let them follow.
However, with the protection of these winter wolves, Chen Kai and them are much safer. Although in the Denzel Forest, even in this forest in the north, there is not much danger. But with these winter wolves, they at least don't have to worry about being attacked. Although these winter wolves are a little bit skinny, they are very vigilant, and they will quickly get up from the ground whenever there is any movement. But for now, there is nothing in the Denzel Forest that makes them feel dangerous. Even if it is the Earth Bear, because it belongs to the same ancient mage, it will not lay its claws on these winter wolves.
On such a silent road, Chen Kai and his nerves were quite tense, and of course they occasionally wanted to sing a song to ease the atmosphere. It's a pity that these wolves are very ruinous in the atmosphere. Whenever Chen Kai and the others started singing, they would also raise their voices. The terrible wolf howl spoils the atmosphere as much as it does. As for the bonfire party, don't mention it, as long as the venison is roasted on the fire, it won't take long for Chen Kai and them to stand, and they are all crowded with those winter wolves.
So what kind of bonfire party Chen Kai basically didn't even think about it, now they have to shrink into the tent to even eat meat, not to mention the miasma in the tent, there is no way to eat well. Because there was only an open fire in the fireplace in the tent, and there were very few places on the fireplace where things could be baked, the pieces of meat in the bowl were only as big as chicken wings per ton of rice. Of course, this is already the limit of what Su Wan, the chef in charge, can do, in order to make everyone have such a piece of meat in their bowls, she even makes use of the practice of calling flower chicken. Wrap the venison in moist soil and roast it under the fireplace, and the venison roasted by this method still tastes very good, but even if Su Wan stuffs the fireplace with roasted venison, it is only enough for everyone to have an extra piece of meat the size of a chicken wing in their bowls.
After all, if you count the dwarves, there are more than twenty of them, and the food baked by a fireplace is not enough. Therefore, Chen Kai, it is already a very good thing that their stomachs can be full now, as for eating good things, although they have a lot of food in their backpacks, they can't eat them because of the lack of cooking conditions.
For Chen Kai and them, the saddest thing now is about this. Chen Kai They have food reserves but have no way to eat well, while the elves such as Romans who are running fast in the forest just want to be full. Because they don't have enough supplies. Even drinking water can only be boiled after the snow and ice melt. The most important thing is that the three consecutive days of running wild have brought them closer to Chen Kai, but the food consumption is also extremely huge. Romans doubted that their material reserves would be able to support them until they found Chen Kai. However, there is no turning back for many elves, as they have not been supplied in Teramis, so even if they go to the elven empire, they may go hungry on the way. This is what Romans revealed on the way, which sounds a little strange but is actually normal, because many of their supplies have been taken by the elven thieves who left for the elven empire before. Although these elven thieves didn't take a lot of supplies, most of them were important food. Therefore, if they can't catch up with Chen Kai and them in a few days, Romans and the other elves will be hungry.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, Romans gritted his teeth and continued to hurry with the elves, and in order to catch Keno's undead master Romans decided to pull off his last face. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Romans slowly took out the pointing crystal from his arms, and the positioning magic released by the elven mage did not last long. Therefore, if they don't want to freeze and starve to death in the forest, then they have to catch up with Chen Kai and them before the spell fails.
While Romans sighed, Chen Kai and the others had already settled their dinner and started the regular meeting. Of course, Armand and the other dwarves were not interested in such a meeting, and after saying hello, they went outside the tent to drive away a few winter wolves and began to set up a furnace to make new bullets. Although they still have enough bullets in their pockets, who knows if there will be more brutal battles in the future, so the black dwarves must be prepared with enough bullets.
Of course, they also received some magic gunpowder from the ancient mages, but the magic gunpowder was very problematic because the ancient mages used it as an accelerant or explosive. Therefore, the black dwarves exchanged a lot of magic gunpowder, and of course they exchanged it for an improved magic gunpowder formula, and this formula was naturally not the best but the second. But even so, these ancient mages were pleasantly surprised. They had never imagined that the magic gunpowder that acts as an accelerant would explode so powerfully when improved.
Therefore, the dwarves have a lot of magic gunpowder in their hands, but these gunpowders need to be remixed by themselves, otherwise the low power makes it difficult for the dwarves to make zuò musket bullets. They had been working on this for the past few days, even when they were in Teramis. Chen Kai was worried several times that the black dwarves would blast them into the sky together when they deployed gunpowder. Fortunately, this situation did not occur, otherwise Chen Kai and the others would not have been able to stay in the tent for a meeting now.
When the black dwarves pulled up the bellows, the charcoal made from the ancient trees in the forest began to ignite gradually. However, if you want to increase the temperature of the furnace, you can't just rely on charcoal. Only by channeling the power of the fire elemental with the magic hedron can the temperature in this spell furnace reach the point of melting metal. In fact, for Armand and the others, their most valuable thing is a spell furnace, because they used the recipe of magic gunpowder for the ancient mages to help transform. Even Chen Kai and the others drooled over the Black Dwarf's Spell Furnace, because it was a product transformed by using Ancient Magic Channeling technology.
It's just that the surrounding winter wolves are very uninterested in the fiery spell furnace, because the heat is very uncomfortable for them. So these winter wolves grinned at the black dwarves after the dwarves raised their fires. But in the end, under the dwarf's torso, he did not change places, and continued to rest in the snow. While the dwarves began to melt down the metal zuò bullet casings, Chen Kai and the others began the meeting in the room. Of course, they basically don't have anything to say now, because they are still in the Denzel forest, so there is no problem with safety.
But once they set foot in the Denzel forest, the road behind them becomes quite difficult. As for collecting maps of the northern part of the Denzel Forest from the Internet, it goes without saying that such a thing is even more difficult than collecting the map of the Denzel Forest before. For those who are strong enough to enter and exit this adventurous area, any map is bought with their own blood. It can be said that such a map is enough for them to exchange for untold riches. You must know that many empires on the continent now basically want to expand outward as long as they have the ability, and they can't expand in areas that are already inhabited. Can only expand to unknown areas. So Chen Kai and the others basically had a hard time finding a map of this area on the Internet, and they didn't even know what kind of monsters were in the northern area of the Denzel Forest.
So Chen Kai and they can only fight in the past now. That is, the experience in the area north of the Zela fortress to design the battle plan. It's just that Chen Kai knows very well that some things are not planned, and once they encounter monsters they have never seen before, they can't use human lives to fill them. For Chen Kai, what they are most worried about is encountering a group of monsters, if they encounter such monsters, they simply don't have enough manpower to block them, and the possibility of encountering such monsters in the forest is very high.
"It would be nice if those winter wolves could keep following!" When discussing the face of the group of monsters, Xu Fei slowly said such a sentence, and everyone also agreed with such a mention. Although these wolves are not very good, there is no doubt that they are a little easier without the help of the elven knights, at least the difficulty is reduced during the vigil.
"The question is whether these winter wolves will follow us all the way!" Chen Kai tapped his fingers on the table, his words were not good, but they were undoubtedly the most to the point. They all knew that these winter wolves were domesticated by ancient mages to protect the forest. It may be that following them all the way now is just for food, or maybe it is because the ancient mages are keeping an eye on them.
"So we need to think about two options, the first is if these winter wolves follow us all the way, then what should we do with these winter wolves? The second question is, what should we do when we step out of the Denzel Forest, that is, when these winter wolves are no longer following? Su Xinghe said slowly, after he finished speaking, the first thing that came to Chen Kai's mind was the food to feed these winter wolves, which was a group of big stomach kings that were even more terrifying than the two flying dragons. The most important thing is that Wyverns can sometimes eat a vegetarian diet for a different taste, but these winter wolves seem to only eat meat.
"If it's the first possibility, then we're going to have to worry about food, unless we can meet a lot of reindeer herds along the way. Otherwise, it may not be a few days before these winter wolves will eat all the reindeer meat we killed before! They may leave without food, or they may continue to follow under the control of the ancient mages, but I don't think it's very likely. Chen Kai said slowly, there is no doubt that food is the most important thing in this forest. Without food, not only these winter wolves may starve, but they themselves as well.
"But we can't take the initiative to drive away these winter wolves, and it is estimated that even if we take the initiative to drive them, these winter wolves will not leave!" Fei Yun played with the dagger in his hand, and the narrow dagger emitted a cold light in the firelight. And his words reminded the others of the state of those winter wolves.
"Yes!" Thinking of this, everyone sighed in unison, for them there is nothing more depressing than the Lai Pi Wolf who can't be chased and can't be driven away. The most important thing is if according to Su Xinghe. If they want to take these winter wolves with them, solving the food problem of the winter wolves will become the top priority.
In the end, Chen Kai and the others still didn't come up with a good way to deal with these winter wolves. And the winter wolf outside didn't think about becoming a burden on the hearts of these humans with the aura of ancient mages. They began to drift into their dreams after a roar at the black dwarves, with only some of the winter wolves on guard, yawning around and listening sideways.
When the next day's sun poured down from the sky again, Chen Kai and the others continued to move forward under the thick branches, but there were two fewer people in the team. Zhou Xuan and Fei Yun were exploring the surroundings at the moment, looking for something that could be used as food for the winter wolf, and it would be best if they could encounter a herd of reindeer, but there was no doubt that the odds were not high. Within an hour, the only prey they found was a few hares, which even Chen Kai couldn't stuff their own stomachs.
Fortunately, most of the reindeer were controlled by the ancient mages to migrate to the north and west when the demons attacked, so it is actually easy to find reindeer in this forest now, the only problem is that it takes a little time and luck to catch up with these reindeer. After all, the reindeer are quite capable of running, and they are extremely alert, and if it weren't for their bad luck and rushing into Chen Kai's group last time, it might be really difficult to catch up with these snow elves.
While Fei Yun and the others searched for the reindeer trails, Romans and the other elves also started a new day's journey, but on the new day they encountered a good omen. As far as they could see, there was a herd of reindeer galloping from afar, and for the elves who were starved of food, these reindeer were simply a gift from God, so even though he knew that it would take some food to catch up with these reindeer, Romans did not hesitate to chase after them.
