"What? You let me go all the way with that shortyman? The devil is willing to say yes! Cooper pointed to Sado, who was sitting in the camp, and shouted at Draenor.

"Shhhh I'll leave you alone, be quiet! They are familiar with the snowfield, and we have already agreed that they will take us to Nagyseus as compensation, and even prepare a place for us to stay, so be a little patient! ”

Draenor bent almost at an angle parallel to the ground, he had always seen people accurately, the two "artists" in the snow field were definitely not some liars, on the contrary, they were the only hope that the group could leave the snow field.

Of course, he also considered that Cooper might be troubled by the presence of those two, especially the halfling named Sado, who had a very different personality from the dwarf, and was a taciturn figure most of the time.

"His name is Sado, he's a capable guy, we shared supplies, and I'm sure he'll be happy to help us." Draeno tried to persuade Cooper, unable to understand why he was so disgusted with the halfling.

"Hmph, then you really underestimate him." Cooper sneered, it seemed that he knew the race very well, "Halflings, those guys are lazy parasites!" If you have nothing to do all day, you know that you hide in the kingdoms of other races, water flowers and plants, and like to steal and eat! You'll definitely regret following him all the way! ”

With that, Cooper spat on the ground and turned to walk toward the camp. Draenor couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the uncle's distant figure, it seemed that Cooper had also acquiesced in the decision to go with Sado and the others, but his intuition told him that Cooper and Sado would get along very poorly in the future.

Looking at the sun as it faded westward, Draenor felt it was time to leave, so he beckoned everyone to pack their bags, distribute the little water they had left, and walk down the road deeper into the forest.

Everyone tried to remain silent along the way, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they were afraid that the slightest inadvertent irritation would provoke Cooper's old problem - swearing.

But it was at this moment that the normally quiet Sado visibly snorted a few times, and the sound sounded disgusting, like the movement of an anteater quickly pulling its tongue back.

Draenor didn't dare to throw up the topic to divert Cooper's attention. To tell the truth, for the first time, he found that the dwarf could be so quiet, and the uncle was like a scarecrow with long legs, and he pulled his leg out of the hole in the snow and stepped forward, leaving another hole.

At this time, Vikily made a different noise, she laboriously untied the kettle from her waist, twisted the cork with her fingers that were almost freezing, and took a few sips to the mouth of the bottle.

It can be seen that even she is hungry enough, but fortunately, clean water is not a rare thing in this vicinity, snow is everywhere, just scoop some casually, and when it melts, you can quench your thirst. And in this case, I can only barely rely on drinking water to satisfy my hunger.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to be too quiet, and there is hardly any trace of any creature left in the forest for dozens of kilometers except for the messy bird's nest hanging on the trees, so the sound of any movement is so obvious, especially the sound of a group of people stepping on the snow similar to chewing grease, which makes Draenor feel an inexplicable irritability,

He suddenly realized that people instinctively kept quiet in extremely tense situations, and that it wasn't the atmosphere that Cooper had brought up that made everyone nervous, but the fact that they could die in the snow at any moment.

Before they knew it, the sun was approaching the edge of the horizon, and Jett, who was a Celestial Spirit, couldn't lead the way in the dark, not to mention that there was no reliable lighting at hand, and the cold wind blowing from the valley was getting more and more arrogant, so they had to stop in time to set up a new camp before the sun set.

"Four hours have passed, and I suggest that you stop for a while, find a place to settle down while it is still dark, and hunt some prey to satisfy your hunger." Eventually, it was Vicky who spoke first, and it seemed that this was in line with everyone's thoughts, so she spread a blanket in her place, found some barely sturdy branches, and set up a makeshift camp.

In the pre-sunset afterglow, Delano led Jeanne towards the valley between the snow-capped mountains. He had been thinking about dinner when he had been cooking the fire in the camp, and he happened to be able to see a frozen lake a few kilometers down the hill, which seemed to be the only body of water in the vicinity.

Happily, there are also several quadrupeds with horns roaming around the lake, perhaps antelopes or yaks...... In short, if you bake it on the fire, it won't taste too bad.

Hopefully we'll be able to catch one or two before dark, Draenor thought to himself, leaning back and walking down the slope of the hill with Jeanne in a near-lying position.

Surprisingly, the snow in this area does not seem to be thick, like the floating sand of the northern wasteland, and a single movement can cause it to roll down until the particles snowball and turn into powder on the trunks of trees.

"It looks like it snowed here a while ago, and the ground is very unstable, so it's better to slow down your pace and don't fall into any holes." Delano lifted Jeanne's arm to help her balance, and in case one of them did get stuck in the snow, he could help each other.

Along the hill near the lake, a couple of moose were digging through the ice with shovel-like hooves, trying to find a chance to drink. Draenor stared at the massive creature in front of him, his right hand already resting on the handle of the firebolt, and after a moment's hesitation, he decided not to risk shooting.

The nearby mountains form a basin around the lake, and any excessive movement will create echoes here, and the snow itself is not solid, so it would be bad in case of an avalanche.

Before he started, he first looked back at the faintly flickering bonfire on the side of the mountain, the uncle's temper was indeed a little short-tempered, but no one dared to deny that Cooper was a principled person, and believed that he should also be aware of the situation around him, and would not shout because of some trivial things.

"Jeanne, it seems that we have to divide the labor for the time being, the task of hunting will be handed over to you, and I will carry the prey after the matter is completed."

Nodding in agreement, Jeanne pulled out her dagger, held her breath, and slowly approached the nearest moose.

But just as she flew towards the moose, the trees on the side were suddenly knocked down, and a pillar of thigh rushed out of the forest and attacked Jeanne. With the only glimmer of light, Draenor could see the behemoth, its stone-like muscles and barely visible hair, its human-like body, but a head taller than the tallest pine.

"Jeanne! Leave the prey alone, come back! Draenor ran desperately towards the troll, hoping to cover Jeanna's escape.

The troll in front of him frantically raised its fist and smashed the moose that had no time to escape into a pulp, and the blood mixed with the snow flew into the air, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

It was clear that the monster was not attacking the two directly, but was focusing entirely on the moose. Draenor took the opportunity to pull Jeanne's arm and drag her head towards the hillside without looking back.

As he was about to leave the forest, Draenor suddenly noticed a cold wind blowing in front of him, not only cold wind, but also tens of thousands of broken ice as sharp as blades.

Looking up, a milky white cloud suddenly appeared near the top of the mountain, and the roaring wind continued to hit, almost tearing the bodies of the two of them. The small, dim campfire in the distance didn't have time to struggle, and was swallowed up by the hundred-foot-high wave in less than a few seconds.

Suddenly, the dead silence of the valley was swallowed up by an overwhelming roar, as if the sky had fallen to the earth.

"Jeanne! Come over here! ”

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Draenor stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Jeanne's body, straightening his back against the trunk. Endless pressure came from both sides, and there was a loud sound of a tree trunk breaking behind him, it was already too late, and he felt his center of gravity thrown by an unimaginable force a distance of a hundred meters, and then it was firmly wrapped in the cold air current.

The light in front of him became more and more blurred, and the last scene engraved in his mind was the white sea that was advancing wildly towards the surface of the lake.
