Chapter Fifty-Eight: Crossing the Snowfield
On the vast snowfield, Oguma ordered his snow robbers to pick up the weapons of the slain robbers, and at the same time ordered people to go down to the pit to remove the trap device, and filled the snow pit to bury the robbers' bodies underneath, but there was no extra manpower to clean up the seventy or eighty corpses that died halfway......
"Big Brother Okuma, the nearby Virgian army seems to be heading here, what should we do?" one of the snow thieves reported that Oguma stabbed his broadsword into the snow and gathered the snow thieves together with a loud shout. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Back to the Sifang Inn, the Balmer brothers should be finding a way for us, and they will still settle the trouble for us as before!" After hearing the order, the snow thieves quickly finished their work and ran towards the location of the Sifang Inn.
The Ten Guards hurriedly came to Oguma's side and asked, "What about those corpses? It's almost dawn, and the Virgian army will definitely find the corpses and trouble the Sifang Inn!"
"Don't underestimate the Balmer brothers, they are the quintessential masters of what they say and what they talk about. The Virgians want to get out of their mouths like ascending to the sky, and their brother is also an old acquaintance of my gang, so how about going back to the inn to discuss it first?"
"Alright, Natsuhiko!!Tell everyone to follow, let's go back to the inn!!" He called his companions in a loud voice, and then followed Oguma out of the battlefield to the Sifang Inn.
A moment later, in the Quad Inn, Oguma led his men and the mercenary team to walk through the door breathlessly, and found the Balmer brothers busy at the counter, while Xiao and Baiwen were sitting at the table chatting happily.
Seeing the return of the people, Bai Wen got up from his stool and asked, "What is the result?"
He ran to the counter and grabbed a glass of water and drank it all, and before he could catch his breath, he replied, "It's nothing! Four or five brothers died, and a dozen were wounded, but all the robbers died!!"
"Aren't you sad when you die?" Shaw asked him angrily.
"A good man will not shed tears, even if it is a brother in the past who died, he can only bear the grief in silence. Emphasizing that he too was a man of flesh and blood, and not a merciless beast, he walked out the door without looking back, praying alone for his dead brother.
After Okumar left, Natsuhiko finally breathed a sigh of relief, threw his heavy backpack on the ground, and said to Hakumo, "A Virgian patrol is coming this way, what should I do now?"
White Marin thought for a moment and called Balmer over: "Settle this matter, fool the patrol, and find a way to put an end to the rumors about Oguma's murder, and the principal brought by Kirk in this gamble will be your reward." ”
"Don't worry, wrap it up on me!" The white-veined boss and the brothers hurried out of the inn, Balm had already cleared the way!" As he spoke, he and his brother pushed open the counter, pulled up a secret door below, and lit a torch, and when the white-veined summoned Oguma and the snow thieves, the thirty-odd people entered the secret passage in an orderly manner.
As soon as the shop closed the secret door, there was a knock on the door of horses' hooves, and Balmer himself went to the door to open it, and a patrol of more than fifty people was searching around outside the door, which made the two brothers anxious.
"Boss, I'm going to ask you something, and I'll get some food for my soldiers!" said a fellow who looked like a cavalry captain.
"Master Jun, please come in, let's talk slowly......" Balmer hurriedly offered his courtesy and welcomed the patrol in.
After that, the two brothers entertained the soldiers with good wine and meat, and deceived them with lies that they had no interest in pursuing them, and the patrol took the gang fighting that had taken place in the area as a common vendetta, and left without much investigation.
Dozens of minutes passed, in the underground secret passage, White led everyone along the winding passage to the end, a wooden ladder appeared in front of them, White began to climb up, forcefully opened a skylight to the ground, a large amount of snow fell into the passage, he brushed off the snow on his face and will poke his head out of the passage, the sky became extraordinarily clear, the fog around him began to disperse, the Sifang Inn was nearly a mile or so behind him, and the other side of the snow-capped mountain gradually showed the dawn of dawn......
"Uncle, aren't you going up yet?" Oguma was a little impatient, and began to urge White to hurry up, and when he climbed out of the ground, Oguma also jumped up and fell to the snow, leaned over and pulled the people in the ladder up one by one, and when everyone successfully escaped, they all looked at the Sifang Inn in the distance, and their hanging hearts were finally put down.
At this time, he came to the side of the white tattoo and confirmed again: "Old man, we are serious, Oguma is familiar with the terrain of the snowfield, can you lend him to me for a few days?"
"Hey!!Said I'm not an animal!!"
Oguma, who was bandaging the wounds of the wounded, was so angry that he stepped forward to push Xia Yan away, and then said to Bai Wen: "It seems that this guy is not dying, I will go with him, and I will come back in about three days." ”
"I'm just worried that you kid will have trouble with them, but it doesn't seem to be a ...... right now Hahahaha!Go, go!" Bai Wen happily agreed, and Xia Yan thanked him again.
"Can you reach Tristis in three days?" Not even a moment's delay!" asked the Ten Guards.
"As long as you can keep up with me, it will only take a day and a half to reach the bottom of the snowy mountain of Tristis, but my duty is limited to this, and you can figure out the problem of climbing the mountain yourself. ”
Because of Oguma's assurance, the members of the mercenary group were relieved, and Bai Wen patted him on the shoulder, returned the sharp short knife to him, and instructed: "You kid, it's rare to make a few friends, cherish them." ”
"When did the eldest brother become so verbose! This is just cooperation, how can mercenaries like them, who take money to do things for others, stick a knife in their brothers' ribs? I and other heroes disdain to be in the company of them, hum!"
"Hey, what are you talking about!" Xia Yan on the side listened, rushed over and pushed Oguma back, just thought about the theory but changed his words: "Cooperation, time waits for no one, it's already dawn, let's go!"
"Got it! Got it! Are you bothered by this guy? Big brother, please take care of your brothers!"
Facing the rising sun, Okuma was an eye-opener for the mercenaries, and he showed no less than the strength of the Ten Guards and ran on the snow, and in a blink of an eye, he ran far away, which made the mercenary group lacking horses complain, but there was no other way but to grit his teeth and step on the thick snow and follow him straight to the depths of the snowfield......
On this day, under the guidance of Oguma, they traveled through various treacherous and unknown shortcuts in the snowfield, and after walking about fifty miles, they finally arrived at Kudan City at dusk, and before they had time to enjoy the scenery of Syracuse, they hurriedly settled in a tavern in the city......
There were many wanted notices for the murder in the snowfields posted in Kudan's tavern, but none of them came close to Okuma, and he would always laugh casually when he passed by the wanted notices, and after repeating it many times, Jubei finally noticed his attitude.
"Okuma, what are you laughing at......"
"It seems that my swordsman, known as the Wolf of the Snowfield, is not famous, after all, it is too far away...... Hahaha!" he tore off the parchment on the wall, and with a smile he cut everything in two with a windy knife technique.
"You'd better calculate the next journey with Old White first, and everyone should rest!"
"There's no need for that!!!"
Looking at the puzzled gaze of the Ten Guards, he patted his head and said, "Now that we have arrived at Kudan City, about forty miles southwest is Aslum Town, and this road is equipped with an official road, you can go to the horse dealer and buy some fast horses!"
"Wait...... Tristis Peak must be in the east, right? Why go southwest......" Ten Guards asked, puzzled.
"We needed some of the necessary equipment to get around the snow quickly, and Aslum had what we needed. Believe me, this stop is necessary. ”
At this time, Xiao Yi walked out of the guest room, overheard the conversation between the two, and interjected: "Isn't it snow boots and snow-specific horseshoes, don't fool them...... However, it takes a lot of time to make it here, and the town of Aslum is famous for making such goods~"
"Why do you know it all!, and what are you hiring me for?" asked Oguma, a little embarrassed.
She stretched and continued, "I don't know the way! you're the guide, okay......"
"Really, why do you little devil always work against me!!Last time, you made me make a fool of myself in public......" In a fit of rage, Oguma was about to lose control, and when he noticed Shoy's left arm, he understood it all......
Just as it happened in Oguma's eyes, the erosion of the gem happened again, the words slowly changed, he immediately took Xiao Yi's hand and lifted her sleeve, and found that all the meridians of the entire left arm had been burned red, and he could only shake his head helplessly.
"That's why you have to get to the snowy mountains in three days, but will there be a way to get there?" he asked as he let go of Shoy's hand and turned to Jubei.
Xia Yan, who was napping on the side, also woke up and stepped forward to take over the conversation: "Yes, we planned to find five magical gems containing the power of the natural element, but the first fire elemental gem was lodged in her left hand, and if we can't separate the gem within a certain amount of time, she will die because of it." ”
"Then you're completely mistaken, why do you have to look for other gems, finding a cure is the most important thing, isn't it?"
"This is not a disease that humans can deal with, the bell must be tied to the bell, we can only find an elemental gem with the same level, maybe there is a glimmer of life, otherwise I ......" Xia Yan answered his question, but he didn't dare to guarantee that he could save Xiao Yi, and fell into confusion.
Looking at the frustrated Xia Yan in front of him, Xiao Yi was unhappy, slapped him, and said vigilantly: "Even if I will die because of this, I don't need you to lose faith for me, since there is still time, as long as everyone is willing to go on, there will definitely be a road ahead!"
A word woke up the dreamer, Xia Yan was relieved from frustration, Xiao Yi's words were deeply reflected in the hearts of every teammate, and everyone said that they would not lose their goals again, and they would definitely follow the direction of the god of fate to the end, she was still so optimistic, but Xia Yan's worry did not disappear, and she shook her head and walked to the guest room......
