Chapter 249: The Demon Spotted Leopard's Lair and the Wolves Reappear
It wasn't until the minotaur left that Ruan Chi and Deep Blue both came out from behind the rocks, and just at this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the distance, and a figure jumped out of the thick snow.
Ruan Chi took a closer look and found that the figure that broke through the snow was the Manhattan leader of the jungle hunter, and the other party seemed to have discovered Ruan Chi and quickly approached this side.
"Are you alright?" Seeing people still alive, Manhattan also showed a look of surprise.
"Commander, your mask?" As soon as Ruan Chi was about to answer, he found that the mask on the face of the Manhattan regiment commander had fallen off at some point, and what he saw now was his face of a Chinese character who was over forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a slight vicissitudes of life.
Manhattan obviously knew that his mask was gone, and touched his sparse chin and smiled, "Do I look weird?" ”
"No, I'm just curious why you're wearing the mask all the time, and the mask is suddenly gone, and now it looks a little bit out of place." Ruan Chi said.
"Let's talk about these things later, go around and find the others, maybe they're still alive." Manhattan moved away from the topic of masks and said in a deep voice.
Although the destructive power caused by the avalanche is amazing, the Jungle Hunter is also an A-class adventure party, and most of them still have considerable strength to survive.
Ruan Chi and Deep Blue, who was possessed by Morley, then followed the Manhattan Commander to search the neighborhood, and soon found the lost members.
Among them, the first to be found was the deputy head Satsuma, a sturdy magician who cast a fifth-level wind magic wind shield to protect some of the weaker members of the adventure group, but because the barrier was pressed against hundreds of tons of snow. So someone needs to be outside to help remove the snow first.
Manhattan immediately picked up Gaia and slapped him violently. The blue palm wind blows away the thick snow.
"You're a little late. I probably won't be able to hold it up. Satsuma smiled bitterly after disarming the magic of the wind barrier and sweating profusely from overdrawing his magic.
"But thanks to you, we don't have that much to lose." Manhattan took a look, because of Satsuma's magical protection, not only did a considerable number of the members of the adventure party survive, but even the convoy brought some supplies in it.
Among those who survived under Satsuma's protection, the two Luo Wei Qihar brothers were among them, when they saw Ruan Chi. also showed a surprised expression, probably not expecting Ruan Chi to be able to survive the avalanche attack.
Another round of search was launched in the nearby snow, and several members of the adventure group who escaped were found, including the ugly woman Mei Ling who hid her strength, and there were two stunned guys beside this woman, who were obviously rescued by her.
In addition, during the search, they also found some members of the adventure party who were unfortunately crushed to death by the snow under the thick snow, and when they were dug up, the corpses were already as hard as ice cubes. There is almost certainly no cure.
Manhattan immediately gathered everyone together and buried the dead brothers on the spot. The number of people and supplies was counted, and it turned out that less than half of the people survived the avalanche, most of the supplies were lost, and to make matters worse, all the horses responsible for pulling the cart were buried under the snow.
In the face of this bad situation, there are only two ways left, one is to temporarily abandon the task and return to the Ice Peak Post Station to replenish supplies and set off again, and the other is to continue to move forward.
"Everyone, bring your stuff, and we'll hike into the Rakshasa Valley." The Manhattan Commander apparently chose the second route, as it was too far away from the Ice Peak Station, and it would be a waste of time to go back now.
Hearing that Manhattan chose to move on, Ruan Chi also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he didn't have much time, and if he returned the same way, it would be an extra day to waste.
Everyone brought the supplies they could, such as some food and water, as well as weapons, and set off lightly, quickly returning to the entrance of the Rakshasa Valley.
Because of the avalanche, the entrance to the entire valley was blocked by thick snow and ice, and most of the giant trees that were originally towering were also buried by the ice and snow, leaving only the canopy bare.
The entrance was blocked, and the only road to the Wolf Clan's holy land was gone, which was also where Ruan Chi had a headache now.
Manhattan walked up to the entrance, his brows furrowed, and said in a half-loud voice, "Now the only way to enter the Rakshasa Valley is to go through the air." ”
Air?
After hearing this, Ruan Chi was also curious about what the group leader had to do to make so many people here enter the Rakshasa Valley from the aerial route.
"Dorabe, this matter is going to trouble you." Said a woman in Manhattan who looked to be in her thirties and had a bewitching build.
"Don't worry, Captain, I know what to do!" Dora beckoned several powerful members of the regiment and walked in the direction of the forest.
"What is she going to do?" Ruan Chi asked as he pulled an old member of the adventure group beside him.
"Dora Bei is an intermediate beast trainer who can tame demonic beasts below the third level, and the head of the group means to let her find some magical beasts that can fly out and domesticate them, as a tool for us to fly over the level in front of us." The old member said with a proud face.
Beast trainer is a relatively rare profession, because the cultivation of this profession is very difficult, it is a profession between a warrior and a magician, not only requires the beast tamer himself to have a certain hand-to-hand combat ability, but also needs to be proficient in some spells when domesticating monsters, because as a double cultivation profession, the cultivation of beast trainers is more severe than ordinary professions, and many beast trainers can cultivate to the primary level is the limit, no wonder the old member said that Dora Belle is so proud when he is an intermediate beast trainer, After all, there is an intermediate beast trainer, who can not only domesticate a lot of magical beasts as a means of attack, but also become a special means of transportation.
Everyone waited in place for more than three hours, and before the sun went down, Dora Belle and the companions who had called over to help finally returned.
It is worth noting that Dora Belle and they came back on a flock of flying monsters, a group of strange birds covered in black feathers, croaking as they flew along.
Dora Belle jumped down from a strange bird and said to Manhattan, who had been waiting for a long time, "Captain, I'm sorry. Maybe it's because of the avalanche just now. So we searched for a long time to find the nest of these black heron eagles. ”
"It doesn't matter. Just being able to come back before the sun goes down is nice. "Although it took longer than expected, Manhattan was quite satisfied.
After these black heron eagles were domesticated by Dorabe, they became very well-behaved, and when they saw Dorabei whistle and then make a gesture, they all flew down from the sky and landed in front of everyone like well-trained soldiers.
"How is this done?" Seeing such a scene, the surname Ruan couldn't help but have some interest in the profession of animal trainer. Throwing a reconnaissance spell at the heads of these black heron eagles, it was found that their suffixes were all uniformly marked with the words "Master Dora Bei", indicating that these magical beasts were really under the control of Dora Bei, the beast trainer.
Riding an assigned black heron eagle with Molly, who was in the dark blue control, Ruan Chi found that the system did not judge this as a riding state. At first, the scene where I was worried that I would be thrown out did not happen, and it seems that these black heron eagles were directly controlled by Dora Bei, so the system did not judge the black heron eagles as mounts.
"Remember, you just have to sit on it, you don't have to do anything." After Dora Belle had said something to look out for, she whistled and gestured in the direction of the black heron eagles.
After the sound of wings flapping. These black heron eagles carried the crowd up and climbed in height. The scenery ahead gradually became clear.
When everyone flew from a high altitude to the sky above the Rakshasa Valley, they found that the damage caused by the avalanche was much more powerful than everyone imagined, and the ice and snow did not know where to gush out, as if a white torrent blocked most of the valley, and a large number of trees destroyed by the torrent could be seen scattered in the thick snow.
As the only one who saw the murderer who caused this avalanche, Ruan Chi didn't tell everyone about it, after all, the bull-headed monster was really weird, and it was estimated that no one would believe it when he said it.
In line with the principle that more is better than less, Ruan Chi sat quietly on the back of the Black Heron Eagle and followed the team towards the depths of the Rakshasa Valley.
Deep Blue has no plans to go back since she occupied Mo Li's body, and Ruan Chi doesn't care about this, anyway, it can be quieter this way.
After flying in the sky for about fifteen minutes, Manhattan, who led the team in front, quickly found the leopard's nest as described in the mission.
Luckily, the lair was located in the innermost part of the Rakshasa Valley, so thankfully, the road below was not blocked by the snow and ice rolling down from the avalanche.
Dora Belle whistled again, and the black heron eagle flock landed with a croaking cry, and everyone jumped off their backs, and then took up their weapons and prepared for battle.
"Everyone be careful, we haven't figured out the cause of the avalanche just now, just in case, we leave a team of people to wait outside the nest, and we will retreat as soon as we find something unusual, and ......" Manhattan began to arrange the division of labor, requiring everyone to completely hunt the spotted leopard before the sun went down.
In the end, the work of entering the lair to hunt the spotted leopard was carried out by the special attack team led by Manhattan himself, as well as the personnel of the first and second teams, and the rest of the people, including Ruan Chi, were all left outside the lair to be in charge of guarding.
Without entering the lair, Ruan Chi was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately found a clean place to sit down, and at the same time opened the system map.
The location where Ruan Chi is now happens to be in the innermost part of the Rakshasa Valley, only about 20 kilometers away from the straight-line distance of the Silver Peak of the Wolf Clan's Holy Land.
Looking in that direction, Ruan Chi began to think about when to leave, after all, the purpose of coming here thousands of miles was not to accompany the jungle hunter on a mission.
Ruan Chi carefully observed the system map and found that the next 20 kilometers were not easy to walk at all, not to mention the rough road, and there was a possibility of severe cold weather.
Looking up at the sun that was about to go down, Ruan Chi couldn't help but think in his heart that if there was a mount that could fly, he should be able to reach the Wolf Clan's holy land soon.
"yes, didn't we just fly over just now?"
Ruan Chi seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes drifted to Dora Bei, who was in charge of participating in the guard not far away, this female animal trainer also stayed outside the nest to wait because she had to guard the relationship between all the black heron eagles.
"Hey, big sister!" Ruan Chi secretly pulled the dark blue beside him, and then pointed to Dora Bei and said, "Can you change your body?" To that woman? ”
"The host wants me to possess that woman?" Deep Blue, who was still attached to Morley, tilted her head and asked.
"yes. The woman was an animal tamer. Aren't you possessing her to help me control those black heron eagles? I'm in dire need of these flying mounts right now. After saying this, Ruan Chi couldn't help but secretly praise himself for being so witty, he could even think of this.
"Okay, you wait for me." Deep Blue readily agreed, and then closed her eyes.
After a while, Morley shuddered all over, and when he reopened his eyes, his unfocused gaze was clear. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked blankly at the surrounding environment, "This...... What is this place? ”
Seeing Mo Li's reaction, Ruan Chi knew that Deep Blue had left his body, and then looked in the direction of Dorabe, Ruan Chi saw that she was taking the initiative to walk towards this side.
"Host, what am I going to do next?" Deep Blue, who had successfully possessed the female animal trainer, walked up to Ruan Chi and asked.
Ruan Chi pressed the excitement in his heart, pulled Deep Blue and ran to the other side, and then said, "Listen, you take advantage of the fact that others are not paying attention for a while." With this woman's ability to domesticate a demonic beast, control a black heron eagle, and then carry us out of here together. ”
"Understood!"
After explaining to the navy. Ruan Chi pretended to be okay and went back to his original place and sat down, although he had already thought about getting rid of the jungle hunter immediately, but he also needed to find a suitable time.
God seemed to know that Ruan Chi needed such an opportunity, and while waiting, the sun slowly disappeared on the horizon, and the night quietly fell.
"Here's your chance!"
Ruan Chi was overjoyed, and was about to make a gesture at the dark blue, when a wolf howl suddenly sounded in the distance.
"Woo~"
Ruan Chi's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped his movements, and the other members of the Jungle Hunter Adventure Group who were in charge of vigilance also stood up in shock, and at the same time looked in the direction where the wolf howl came from.
I saw that in the dark night, a green glow came from far to near, and a group of white-haired plain wolves came to the front.
"Oh no, this is the Ice Wolf!"
Seeing the huge size of these wolves, the faces of some members of the adventure group suddenly changed greatly, although the ice wolf and the ice wolf are just one word, but the strength between the two is very different, it is said that an adult ice wolf can single out three to five adult ice wolves.
What appeared in front of everyone now was a group of giant ice wolves, numbering hundreds of them, and their combat strength was three to five times that of the ice wolves they had encountered on the broken ice trail earlier.
"What now?" A member of the group asked in a panic, now the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander are leading the special attack team to fight in the lair of the demon leopard, and the people who remain outside the lair are all personnel with average strength, and now facing hundreds of ice giant wolves, this situation is simply desperate.
"It's just some big wolves, what's there to be afraid of, let's go!" Zihar, who was also in charge of staying outside to do the guard work, was unexpectedly very brave and was the first to rush out.
When the others saw that a child was so brave, they didn't care about their timidity at the moment, and immediately raised their weapons and rushed forward to fight those ice wolves.
"Whew!"
Among the wolves, a wolf king the size of a baby elephant let out a scream, and all the ice giant wolves pounced as if they had received an order, showing their sharp fangs to everyone
For a moment, the scene fell into unprecedented chaos, and an ice giant wolf rushed into the crowd, and the wolf's claws struck a heavy blow, smashing into one person's chest.
The man screamed, blood flowed out of his mouth, ears, and nostrils, and the bones in his chest were broken one by one, and the whole person flew upside down.
These Iceplane Wolves are indeed more powerful than the Icewolves encountered yesterday, and it is almost difficult for ordinary people to kill them in a one-on-one situation, not to mention that most of the elites of the Jungle Hunter Adventure followed the Manhattan Special Attack Team into the Spotted Leopard's lair, and most of the members who stayed here were novices or members who were not very strong in combat, so just a simple contact, and a few members of the Jungle Hunter's adventure group died.
Qihar, who was already injured, was surprisingly brave, grabbed a big sword with both hands and rushed up to cut down an ice wolf, but at this time, a flower flashed in front of him, and a larger ice wolf flashed in front of him.
The ice wolf's fur was as white as frost and snow, and the snow-covered environment almost all around it blended together, and if it hadn't felt the heat exhaled by the other party, Zihar wouldn't even know when it would have come to his side.
Thinking of if this ice giant wolf attacked him just now, Qi Har was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, but he was not timid, but he tightened the sword in his hand and aimed it at the ice giant wolf in front of him.
The giant wolf of the ice field that appeared in front of Qihar was none other than the Wolf King, and it opened its mouth wide at this moment, spewing out a blue-blue flame.
The nervous Qihar hurriedly ducked to the side, but the person behind him was not so lucky.
"Ahh
The man let out a scream, and the flames fell on him, and his whole body was immediately covered with a thick layer of frost, and the whole person was frozen in place, and finally became an ice sculpture.
What's even more terrifying is that the surface of the ice sculpture quickly emitted a muffled "crackling" sound, and then the whole building shattered with a "wow", turning into pieces of bloody ice and scattering all over the ground.
Seeing this scene, Qihar was completely stunned, and the appearance of the man's tragic death was deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind, and just when he was stunned, the wolf king rushed up with a pounce, and his bloody mouth suddenly opened.
Seeing that Qihar was about to be bitten off by the wolf king, a figure suddenly rushed over from the side, just in time to hit the wolf king hard.
The wolf king let out a whining roar and was knocked over. (To be continued......)
