Chapter 416: Desperate Survival (2nd Monthly Pass)
"These mounted wolves refuse to eat or drink now, and they do not move." The princess told Li Teng bad news.
"Is it too low to hibernate at such a temperature?" Li Teng asked.
"Giant wolves don't hibernate, I don't know what's wrong, the experts in the guard said that the temperature dropped too fast, the temperature was too cold, and we didn't keep them warm enough, and their body temperature dropped sharply and they had severe frostbite." The princess had a sad look on her face.
"Didn't your healing work on them?" Li Teng asked again.
"I've tried, but it didn't work, there are experts in this area in my guard, and they said that the situation is not optimistic, and these giant wolves may be hopeless." The princess shook her head.
"Looks like we'll have to walk through the giant forest on our own." Li Teng is not surprised by this new situation, and the screenwriter will definitely find all kinds of trouble for him.
The Obsidian Giant fell into the pit, and all the mounts on this side froze to death.
Of course, even if nothing happened to the giant wolf mount, they would not have been able to ride the giant wolf through the giant forest.
The hibernating insects crowded the woods floor, leaving not enough room for the wolves to walk through.
Many places may only be enough for one person to pass through.
It's already getting dark.
After Shan Yao came over and discussed with the princess and Li Teng, he decided to set up camp at the edge of the giant forest, light a fire to keep warm, and set off through the giant forest after dawn tomorrow.
There is no warm wind blowing in the desert anymore.
The temperature here is also dropping dramatically.
Li Teng talked about what the obsidian giant had seen and heard on the other side of the swamp, and told them that the army of 20,000 bears had all been frozen into ice bears, and everyone had a look of fear on their faces.
This cold wave is too violent.
Compared to the cold wave, the previous werewolf army, bear army, mountain giants and the like are all weak.
If they don't get to the warm south as soon as possible, they will freeze to death here sooner or later.
Fortunately, humans have intelligence and know how to make fires for warmth.
Some of the giant trees were cut down, and one by one the fires were lit, and the people in the middle of the fires were finally no longer so cold.
There were also a lot of fires burning around the giant wolf mounts, and the princess didn't want to give them up just like that, and after passing through the giant insect swarm, maybe they would be used sometimes.
……
When I woke up the next day, I had sad news.
The wolves were all dead.
There is no other suitable reason for this, they refuse to eat, and the temperature is so low that they can only be assumed to freeze to death.
In their honor, they were cremated.
Then I ate them into my stomach.
They also roasted their meat into jerky and carried it on their backs to signify that they would never be separated from them.
After the heavy cremation ceremony, the procession marched into the giant forest.
Although the giant insects didn't seem to want to move much, the sight of their hideous mouthparts and sharp front claws when they passed by them, and even squeezed between the two giant insects, was still terrifying.
The giant insects that spread all over the floor of the giant forest severely slowed down the speed of the group's movement, but there was no way but to squeeze through them, their backs were not flat, it was not feasible to jump on their backs, and there was no guarantee that they would be woken up in large numbers.
Once they are woken up in large numbers, the humans caught between them will be quickly chopped into a pile of minced meat under their sharp mouthparts and sharp claws.
For these humans, the number of giant insects is dozens or even hundreds of times overwhelming.
So, it's best not to wake them up.
Just let them continue to sleep.
……
Li Teng had to do two things.
On the one hand, he controls his body to follow the army through the giant insects, and on the other hand, he manipulates the obsidian giant, which has regained its magical power, to pound the slope and slowly climb up little by little.
The Obsidian Giant was very exhausted, and after two hours, he was exhausted again and had to lie down on the spot to rest.
The good news is that the ramp is almost complete, and in half an hour, the obsidian giant will be able to climb back to the surface from the pit.
After climbing back to the ground again, Li Teng decided to use his fist to punch the ice in front of him with every crawling step, although it consumed mana, at least he would not fall into such a deep pit again.
Once you fall into this pit, the mana consumed will be even greater.
Just as the obsidian giant lay down on the spot to meditate and recover his magic, there was a rumbling sound on the ice behind him, and Li Teng looked behind him through the obsidian giant's vision.
There is the influence of potholes, and the situation in the rear is not clear for the time being.
But soon Li Teng knew what was going on.
More than a hundred mountain giants ran from the direction of the Dead Woods.
It seems that they hiding in the mountains could not stand such cold weather, and were forced to leave the cave where they were hiding, preparing to migrate to the south in a big way.
This made Li Teng worried.
Once these mountain giants catch up with him and the princess's party, there is a good chance that they will take their anger out on their heads.
He and the princess's team faced the more than 100 giants, but they were powerless.
But now that the obsidian giant's magic power was exhausted, he couldn't move, and he was powerless to stop the more than 100 mountain giants.
It's just that...... The more than 100 mountain giants took the initiative to stop after seeing the motionless obsidian giant.
They scolded one of the lowly mountain giants in the group for jumping down the slope of the hole, coming to the obsidian giant's side, smashing the obsidian giant with ice blocks, stabbing the obsidian giant with metal sticks, and finally smashing several sticks at the obsidian giant.
The obsidian giants were motionless and unresponsive.
So the mountain giants began to knock on the slope, knocking the last section flat, and a dozen mountain giants jumped down the hole, shouting neat trumpets, and pushed the obsidian giants out of the hole.
Is it fun to help others?
Of course not.
They probably thought that the obsidian giant was dead, and more than a hundred tons of obsidian could be made into a large number of weapons and armor, raising the overall strength of their mountain and forest giant clan to a higher level.
No matter what race it is, it is impossible not to be tempted to see such a large pile of obsidian.
After pushing the Obsidian Giant back onto the ice, they put a dozen thick ropes on the Obsidian Giant, and then dozens of mountain giants pulled the ropes together, dragging the Obsidian Giant forward.
"These money-grubbing guys! It's really a matter of asking for money! Li Teng sighed.
The obsidian giant was dragged down, seriously affecting the speed of the mountain giant's advance.
Li Teng continued to control the obsidian giant to meditate, absorbing the magic power.
How to prevent these mountain giants from catching up with the troops in front of him, he didn't have any good ideas for the time being.
You can only take one step at a time.
