Avi was still thinking about what had just happened, the strange voices he heard, the reason why he had spent too much time with the young mare by talking to Winter, and the words of the owl in Goldhoof City were hallucinations of grief and anger. But this time, the snow wolf's whisper was very clear, and it made corresponding movements.

But why didn't he hear the sounds of other animals when he usually heard them? Avi's heart was still full of doubts, and he considered finding an opportunity to prove his ability.

Avi placed the Quenching Knight Sword on Snow Wolf's fur, wiped the wolf's blood back and forth, and then looked back at the other two.

The closest to him was the big-nosed Fan, and Avi had never seen how the two of them fought before, so he immediately looked at Fan seriously.

The iron spear in Fan's hand is not very long, and the "figure" of the iron spear is a bit thick and heavy, which is completely different from ordinary spears. I saw that the snow wolf was even stronger than the one that Avi had killed, its fangs trembling slightly a few meters away from Fan, and its front hooves took a step forward and stopped, as if trying to find a suitable distance to attack.

But when the snow wolf took another step forward, the iron spear in the big nose fan's hand suddenly split into several pieces, and shot out quickly, and the sharp point at the top directly hit the snow wolf's head, and the snow wolf fell to the ground after a sad whimper.

Fan pulled the iron spear head out with a hard pull, and the middle of the iron spear that was divided into several pieces was linked together by a steel chain, but as for the principle of ejection, Avi didn't think of it.

"This attack distance is about five to seven meters, but at such a close distance, it has the speed of a crossbow arrow, and ordinary people can't react at all and are hit. Avi calculated to himself.

"Brother Avi is so good, he killed the snow wolf so quickly, and the cut of the wolf's head is so accurate, as if you knew it would pounce on this position!" Carrie suddenly appeared behind Avi, and there was no footstep at all.

Avi hurriedly diverted the other party's attention and asked, "I'm just lucky, how is Sister Carrie over there, you're not injured, are you?"

Carrie took Avi's hand and walked in the direction of the big nose fan, the package she had just dropped had already been on her back, and the cuffs of her hands seemed to have never been untied, she replied lightly: "Maybe it's because you killed those two snow wolves quickly, the one on my side fled after smelling the corpse of his companion, and I didn't make a move!"

Avi looked at the side where Carrie was just now, and there was no sign of the snow wolf except for a patch of snow, could it really be that the snow wolf was scared away as she said? If this is the case, Carrie's luck is really good.

Carrie seemed to be able to see what Avi was thinking in her heart, she used her hand to flick the bangs that were about to cover her eyes, a pair of big watery eyes looked at Avi, her long eyelashes blinked, her mouth curved into a disc arc and said with a smile: "Our luck here Carrie has always been very good, Brother Fan is the calmest and strongest, and Brother Avi is the most potential!" Such a compliment praised everyone, which was very useful to Avi, because he had never heard many compliments since he was a child, and there were many vicious slanderous slanders.

The big-nosed fan also restored the iron spear to its original state, and he walked over and said, "Let's go, we will soon reach the highest point of this mountain range, and after we have crossed it, we can go down the mountain!"

The three of them immediately continued to walk upward, and soon they were at the highest point of this parted mountain range, the top of a snow-capped mountain about 2,700 meters above sea level.

The sight in front of the three of them made them all stop. The wind and snow on the eastern side of the mountain range have subsided, and there is no end in sight. The steep snow-capped slopes resemble a huge white cloth that stretches halfway up the mountain. From where they stood, they could clearly see the vast expanse of the Eastern Oguna Empire's continent. The sky is embraced by the white clouds and the blue sky, the green forests and rivers and lakes on the ground, and the stately castles and markets built close to the mountains and the natural formation of the main transportation routes, they are all like small color dots, embedded in this huge painting of nature.

"Wow! it's so beautiful here!" exclaimed Carrie.

"Let's go, we're going to catch the carriage on time!" the big-nosed fan urged.

Avi was also fascinated by the view, but suddenly he turned his head and looked higher to the right of the Split Mountains. In the higher mountain peaks, which were obscured by the wind and snow, there were faint noises.

"There seems to be a strange sound over there. Avi pointed to a white snowy peak in the upper right.

"That's the sound of the wind and snow blowing, hurry up, don't stay!" Fan continued to urge.

"Perhaps," Avi followed the two of them, but his eyes were still on the hidden peak, "that voice can be transformed into words, and only I can hear it." Avi said to himself.

At that moment, a huge black shadow loomed in the blizzard, and disappeared to the top of the snow-capped mountain peak in a split second, and the howling wind and snow mixed with the whisper of some creature terrified Avi's heart even more—there was something terrible there.

As the sun was about to set, the three of them walked from the top of the mountain range to the flat land, where the warm grassland contrasted with the cold snow-capped mountains in the heights. This forced them to take off a few pieces of their clothes.

"Tonight we will continue to walk a little further east from here, and then reach the location marked on the map, and through that cave we will be able to leave the border of the Oguna Empire and enter the border of the Kosai Kingdom in the north. Bignose Fan took out the map and pointed out the route to the other two.

"Is it the Winter Nation hidden in the ice fields?" asked Avi.

"Yes, the people there are not very willing to communicate with other peoples, so we are not very familiar with the things over there, but we will not enter the interior of the Kosai Kingdom this time, we are just going to the Republic through the passage. Carrie explained.

"Stop being verbose, find a town to resupply, and then hurry to find that cave!" said Bignose Fan impatiently.

The three of them walked to a small town, called Tall Tree, which was far from the Split Mountains, but was the main gateway from the southern part of the empire to the kingdom of Kosai. There are not many people in the town in the evening, and as a relatively prosperous business town, there is a huge hotel made of stone in the middle of the town.

"'I've heard of the inn,' that's a poetic name!" said Carrie, standing at the door of the inn, looking at the name of the inn.

"Let's go in and replenish some water and dry food, and then buy three torches. Fan said and walked in.

The hotel has nearly 100 rooms, and the lobby of the hotel is already full, and the bustle here is the opposite of the gloom and desertion of the streets. The innkeeper was like a man, running back and forth between the kitchen and the lobby with food in his hand.

The three of them sat in a corner and ordered a few cakes and three servings of ground beef stew.

"There are so many people at dinner time that they will probably have to continue across the border after eating. Avi's attention to the fact that most of the people here were business travelers reminded him that Miranda and Uncle Charric must have been here, perhaps staying in the same hotel and eating at the same table.

"Don't be in a daze! if you don't want to eat it, I can get rid of your portion of the beef stew!" said Big Nose Fan as he reached out to Avi's broth.

"Don't make a fuss, listen to the conversation at the next table!" Carrie raised her finger and made a "shhhhhh

Next to them was a table of people, all of whom looked like mercenaries, devouring bone-in roast pork, and not only the words on the table reached Carrie's side, but also the smell of the jam-grilled steak.

"I heard that cold-blooded woman has been promoted to a first-class privileged mercenary, it's hard to imagine that she will have such a huge power!"

"Those guys in the Two-Colored Blade Mercenary Regiment are actually nothing special, it's just that the head of the group, Delia, has a sister that the whole continent wants. ”

"So her sister is a stunning beauty, but Delia is in her thirties!"

"I don't know if it's a beauty or not, but she now lives in the palace of the empire, and it seems that she has become the high priest of the empire, and Oguna is about to become a religious empire!"

"High priest, where did this come from! Can she talk to God?"

"I heard that she can do magic! She is the only woman in the mainland who can do magic!"

"Hehe, then it is estimated that the empire is going to make a move against the Papal States, they have always considered their church to be the most orthodox. ”

Avi and the others wanted to continue eavesdropping, but Fan knew that time did not allow it, so he immediately put all the dry food in his bag and prepared to leave.

"Turns out Miss Delia has a sister!" said Avi in amazement.

Carrie nodded and said, "Those guys are probably talking nonsense, don't listen to them, let's go quickly." ”

When they came out of the bazaar, each of them had an extra torch that had not been lit, for no one knew how deep and dark the cave was.

As the night deepened, the insects that came out at night became more numerous, and the squeaking of insects enveloped the small forest in front of the cave.

"This is it," Bignose Fan swept the entrance to the Hessian cave in front of him with a torch, and there was not a trace of reflection in it to respond to his words, "I didn't expect this cave to be so big." He lit up the left and right with a torch to see if there was anything suspicious.

Carrie took the map and said, "It is indeed the cave that the map refers to, and there is a pattern mark next to this cave," she pointed to the triangular pattern carved next to the mouth of the cave, "The map says that the cave has this mark, and it is correct here." ”

Avi looked at the cavern that was heading diagonally downward, and fear began to rise in his heart—it was as dark and cold as the dungeon of the Golden Hoof Sheriff's Office.

Fan said: "Hmph, I guess it's Miss Delia training for us again, this is an unplanned training, and there may be danger in the cave." He said so, but before he could finish his sentence, he jumped into the cave.

Carrie and Avi also immediately lit torches and followed Fan.
