"Oops! it hurts!" Mocha let out a loud scream as she rubbed her frozen hands from time to time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, can you be quiet? You've just climbed up a distance. White on the side shouted to him, the mercenaries had already climbed the foot of the mountain, advancing towards the middle of the Tristis Snow Mountain, and the group understood that time was running out, and they had to reach the top of the mountain before dark, so Xia Yan walked alone with Xiao Yi ahead of the group......
The first rays of the morning sun finally shone on them, warming their already frozen bodies, and when they climbed a relatively flat hillside again, many of them had no longer fed up, and stopped to stomp their feet and breathe hot air into their palms.
"I can't really walk...... And it's so cold......" Mocha kept complaining, shivering from time to time.
"It's icy and snowy, if we hadn't left all our luggage at the Sifang Inn, we would have had a few thick clothes to protect us from the cold...... Hold on a little longer!"
"I can't help it! I'm almost an iceman......"
He continued to complain, but was ridiculed by Joshim, who provoked: "Stand up like a man, grit your teeth and keep up, we can't waste time here!"
"Don't be hard-mouthed...... Aren't you freezing yourself, man?" he replied unhurriedly, seeing that Joshim was wearing only a leather bodysuit.
“...... Mr...... We're freezing too much, and the terrain here is so high that we can't even breathe......" Several mercenaries looked at Josim with painful expressions, obviously not adapted to the highland climate.
White thought about it in detail and ordered: "It's understandable that you don't adapt to the high environment, the air here is indeed very thin, there is really no way! I hope there will be no wind and snow today, set up camp here, and wait for us to come back." ”
"That's right...... Then I ......" When the mercenaries took out the tent and spare dry firewood to set up camp, Mo Cha tiptoed over, but was unfortunately discovered by White.
"Stop, we need you and Hawke, and this good thing is out of your breath. White emphasized.
After a long time, seeing that White and the others hadn't followed yet, Xiao Yi, who was walking in front of him, pulled the corner of Xia Yan's clothes, pointed to his teammates who were thrown away, and asked, "You want to wait for them, right?"
"Cut...... When did Old White become so abrasive, he didn't have time to wait for them, just follow me!" He continued to walk up without looking back, when a cold wind hit, and the figure of Hawke appeared in the sky, which swept past Xia Yan and the others, and after arriving at the temporary camp, it hovered and landed on Mo Cha's shoulder.
Mo Cha nodded after listening to its call a few times, and Hawk also got into his cotton coat to keep warm, and he shouted to Xia Yan in the distance: "Don't rub it off! Now you must hurry up the mountain, there may be an avalanche after a long time!"
"Then hurry up! I don't have time to wait for you!" Xia Yan also shouted back, and took Xiao Yi's hand and rushed up.
The mercenaries lit a campfire here, and at the same time planted weapons and flags in the snow as signposts for the others, while the rest followed Natsuhiko as fast as they could, crawling with the cold wind for about an hour, and gradually approaching the middle level, where the terrain began to become more treacherous, and the temperature was lower, and the air was thinner.
"Woooooooo
It didn't take long for them to arrive at a mountain road in the middle of the mountain under the welcome scene of the wolves' growth, White picked up the steel gun and walked in front, the wolves looked around, and there was no open space under his feet that could be used as a battlefield, he motioned for everyone to move closer to ensure that they would not be scattered and fall off the cliff, and waved a long pole to make the wolves dare not approach easily.
After Xiang An walked to the spacious flat ground without incident, Mo Mocha clenched the long knife with trembling hands and asked Xia Yan, "...... Can you still play in this climate......"
"Where is so much nonsense, just chop them down, and warm them up!" Xia Yan pulled the crescent moon out of the scabbard, held the knife in his right hand and the sheath in his left, and took a posture to meet the enemy.
The wolves pounced at the same time, Xia Yan threw the scabbard and landed on the snow near the wolves, several of the wolves immediately began to snatch the scabbard, taking advantage of this opportunity, White, Mo Cha, and Joshim stepped forward one after another to solve the absent-minded wolves, Xia Yan quickly cut off the heads of several wolves that pounced on him like a ghost, and Xiao Yi left the battlefield under the protection of the Ten Guards, handing over the battle to his teammates.
After killing the first batch, the cold wind swept through the mountainous area, and the snow slowly fell in the air, and the cold wind mixed with the snow water made people unable to open their eyes, and the second wave of wolves attacked at this time. When it was extremely urgent, Xia Yan closed his eyes in the cold wind, the crescent moon in his hand shone with cold light, and he swung his destructive sword qi to directly cut several snow wolves in a straight line into two, and then quickly picked up the scabbard from the ground to retract the crescent moon and replaced the water chopper from the backpack, and opened the posture.
Sure enough, at this time, several wolves approached Xia Yan under the cover of the wind and snow, but they were cut into minced meat by Juhe Chop in an instant, Xia Yan performed a Flying Swallow Sword-like drawing technique-Hazy Moon, and used the Drawing Slash three times in a row at a high speed that the naked eye could not fully perceive, and after solving these unfriendly hungry wolves, he felt that he was braving the wind and snow and rushed to the location where the Ten Soldiers were to determine Xiao Yi's safety.
"you!!!How can there be!!"
On the other side, Mo Cha used his superb knife skills to kill more than a dozen snow wolves in a row, but because of the wind and snow, he couldn't see the enemy, and was thrown to the ground by a wolf, but fortunately, Josim arrived in time and kicked it away, so that Mo Cha was rescued from the bloody mouth, and White also came to meet at this time, and when the three of them worked together to clean up these hungry wolves who tried to eat human flesh, the wind and snow gradually stopped.
"Everyone's okay, I'm old, and my physical strength is not as good as before, you two are quite energetic?"
"Since I was a child, I have learned all kinds of survival skills in the army, and I have developed a good physique, and I can still bear to change the environment occasionally!"
"That's enough! I'm frozen, stop standing stupid, I'm going to warm up!"
While the two were chatting, Mo Mocha shouted and ran to the heights, and they were not to be left behind, and they also chased after them......
After hours of walking on winding and slippery mountain roads, they finally came to the upper reaches of the snow-capped mountains, where there were no signs of life due to the thin air and extreme climate, but there were some huge caves in the walls of the mountains where they were located, which was really suspicious......
"Xia Yan, are you okay? or I'll open the way!!"
Out of concern for his partner, the ten guards kept asking, and he wrapped the cotton clothes on his body more tightly, saying, "It seems to be colder, you are all okay!"
White wrapped a scarf around his neck and said to Xia Yan: "This kind of climate is enough to make ordinary creatures lose their vitality, so we must not stop moving, it is better to speed up the pace." ”
That's right, but the tea is already frozen, and he keeps shivering, and says weakly: "...... I...... I'm almost freezing...... Finish...... If this time ...... Waiting for a snow monster to attack us......"
