The night is getting deeper.

The Canyon of the Dead Whisper is cold and windy, because of the special terrain, the sound of the "whining" wind is sometimes like the roar of some ancient creature, and the monsters hide in their nests to avoid the cold, and at such temperatures, there is no trace of even the "nocturnal animals" that come out to forage for food in the valley.

But in front of the cave at the end of the canyon, everything was silent - an invisible barrier cut off all wind and snow, making the cave less like a passage and more like a gateway to another world.

When you walk through the dark tunnel, you will find that there is a world of difference between this place and the outside of the cave: the cold that drips into ice disappears in an instant, and under the bright moonlight, there is no green vegetation everywhere you look.

The air is moist and warm, the chirping of insects and birds never stops, and the warm breeze blowing in your face carries the fragrance of flowers that can only be found in spring...

The Shadow Dragon Myrinsella walked through the glacial forest, staring cautiously ahead, striding forward.

In the eyes of others, everything in front of them is enough to be called weird: how can a tropical rainforest with minus 30 degrees Celsius appear in a bitterly cold environment of minus 40 degrees?

But Merin Sera didn't have much doubt about that.

After leveling above level sixty, the Shadow Dragon's strength had surpassed that of most humans, so what was in front of her was not uncommon in her eyes: it was theoretically feasible to cover a land with an "elemental barrier" and completely isolate the cold of the outside world.

However, although the theory is true, generally speaking, the scope of this "barrier" is remarkable, and a few hundred square meters is not bad, and Merinthera never imagined that the enveloping area of an enchantment could reach tens of thousands of square kilometers...

Obviously, the forest in front of you has been called a "miracle".

The earliest "elemental barriers" were used to study spells, and most of the methods were to increase the concentration of a certain element within the barrier, and then test the effects of certain spells, which is somewhat like "superconductors" under the "absolute zero" of modern scientific research. In the same way, this huge "elemental barrier" at the moment may also be used for "experiments" in the eyes of Mai Linsera.

But what is the object of "experimentation"? to create a "world"?

The temperature, humidity, and creatures here are no different from a real rainforest, but an enchantment can't make these things grow on their own, so what exactly did the people who created it want to do?

After walking for more than an hour, she came to an apparently artificially created clearing.

Three paths leading in different directions were laid ahead.

The Shadow Dragon's brow furrowed slightly, she wasn't here for pleasure or exploration, the history books record that there are treasures buried by Rakmon, and each of them is powerful enough to shock the world - but where are these things hidden?

Scanning the road in front of her, Merinthra found that her perception was completely cut off, and she couldn't probe the scene at the end of the road, but she could vaguely feel that each road had different levels of prohibition... After a little thought, she went straight to the road on the far right, raised her hand and stretched out her hand into the air.

"Insect carving skills. ”

In the faint words, a wall-like barrier suddenly appeared in the air, and countless complicated lines and incantations flickered, but they dissolved and collapsed the moment Mai Linsera's fingertips touched it.

More than twenty kinds of protective enchantments of all kinds were broken by Merinthra in less than a second, and the level of those shields was probably completely "unsolvable" in the eyes of human mages, but in front of the Shadow Dragon, these things were no different from a layer of tissue paper.

The three paths have three levels of spells and protection, among which only the enchantments in front of them are the highest level and the most difficult to crack - from the perspective of common sense, the best treasure must have the best protection, so Merinsera resolutely chose this path.

The bright spell floated and annihilated in the air, and all the dangers seemed to have been eliminated, but just as Merinthera took a step forward, a violent elemental fluctuation made her eyes widen in an instant!

"Hum..."

Instinctively, Merinthera unleashed countless shields, and then realized that the elemental fluctuations did not attack her.

She took a step back in confusion, but without warning, her back touched a large sturdy tree.

"What?!"

Melinthera turned her head suddenly: there was no more clearing in front of her, everything seemed to be gone, and in its place was a completely unfamiliar forest.

This scene made her heart tighten: could it be that the barrier she had just broken was just a trap used to paralyze her vigilance?

But at this time, there was no way back for Merinthera, she took a deep breath, sensed the elemental fluctuations in front of her, and walked forward.

"You're saying that in that unit, those two women are the most powerful?"

On the other side, in the village of the Bada tribe, the leader of Avala was whispering to several hunters in front of him.

Erwin had gone back to his room to rest, but several of his men who had hunted with him today were summoned to the leader's side, and were asked to tell everything they had seen.

Avala's one-eyed eyes narrowed slightly, his expression looked cloudy, and after listening to the descriptions of these men, he seemed to hesitate a little, and paced back and forth in the room.

Although "barbarian" usually means "barbaric", it does not mean that everyone is as innocent and innocent as Erwin - Avala can lead the tribe to survive in a harsh environment for ten years, and naturally has a good intelligence.

But this "wisdom" could not solve the biggest problem in front of him: if the hunting grounds continued to be compressed by snow monsters, I am afraid that the tribe would soon face the worst "famine" in history.

When the time comes, the babies and children who are waiting to be fed in the tribe will have no way to live, and there is a high probability that they will even become "rations".

Such a thing may sound cruel and unbelievable, but in the most cruel of circumstances, the word "morality" really cannot be applied to hungry and irrational barbarians. Because people who live in comfortable environments can never understand the fear that comes with "hunger", and the madness behind that fear.

Selfish, ruthless, ungrateful?

In Avala's view, there was nothing wrong with his decision—and when there was a suitable excuse for all his actions, the hesitation was only because he was thinking about how to do it.

"Gather all the veteran hunters, grab all the weapons, and set off now. ”

He clenched the scimitar in his hand and continued, "Be careful not to call Erwin and those young fools, they will only ruin our business!"

"Roddy, is that village really only four kilometers away?"

In the cold wind, Sodrore, whose face was blown stiff, turned his head to ask Roddy, who was also cold by the extreme climate, he opened the [map bar] and took a look, muttering: "Isn't that guy talking about here?"

The barbarian who had sent the message from the territory of the Bada tribe did not follow the procession, the other party only pointed the way back to the village, and Roddy also took the road after repeatedly confirming the address, but when he arrived at the place, he found that there was no trace of the village in front of him.

"Akasha, light it up. ”

"Hmm. ”

The little priest was also frozen and stiff, and his palms shrunk under the cloak trembled, and the "Holy Light Technique" continued to bloom in the dark night sky with some stumbling prayers.

"Over there!"

Roddy's eyesight was outstanding, and he finally found a raised shadow on the edge of a hillside in the distance. The soldiers, who had endured the bitter cold, immediately let out a low cheer when they found that their destination was in front of them, and then silently accelerated their march.

"Keep it up, it's coming soon!"

Although the level is high and the attribute is strong, but this feeling of being frozen Luo Di is really a little unbearable, he shouted while not forgetting to remind: "The weapon must be half unsheathed, be careful to freeze in the scabbard! Don't touch the weapon with your skin! Pay attention to the surroundings!"

These "common sense" are important to soldiers who have not experienced extreme temperatures, Sodrore asked the reason with some curiosity, and after asking the answer, he reached out and touched it, and finally put on his gloves honestly after being glued off a layer of skin...

"That's really the case..."

Sodrore muttered a few words, and was about to curse a few words about the bad weather, but when he turned his gaze ahead, he suddenly stopped-

"There... Something seems to have just happened?"

"Huh?"

When he was in a hurry, because of the strong wind, Roddy usually lowered his head and buried his face in his hood, and when he saw Sodrore stop, he also looked over curiously: "What can be in this kind of place? It could be a polar fox or something—"

In the middle of his words, Luo Di suddenly changed his tone: "No, no, no! Akasha, immediately continue to light the vigilance!"

"Everyone, first-level combat readiness!"
