Chapter 506: The Ridge
Uma didn't know if it was the right thing to do, but anyway, he didn't force Mirna to come along. But just as she was ready to go, Mirna came to her side. In any case, it made him happy, even though Milna was already frozen in a ball by this time. She was still draped in the blanket of the tent, her teeth chattering, and she shuffled behind her with heavy steps.
"Are you sure it's okay, Mirna?" asked Uma with concern.
"I ...... I... No problem......" she replied with a shudder.
"Why did you choose to let Freya stay in the camp and follow me to the ridge on her own? Uma asked, but he was grateful to Mirna. Besides, he was used to Mirna by his side, even though the other party was currently a frozen ghost who couldn't even speak clearly. Of course, he didn't dare to say such things in front of the other party, otherwise he would definitely turn into a barbecue.
"Because...... Because...... You're so stupid......" Mirna wanted to reach out and kick Umma's ass, but she didn't want to leave any part of her body off the blanket right now.
Uma smiled heartily, "Thanks, Mirna, let's get this done quickly." ”
"That's ...... Of course ......"
Snow is falling in the sky, which is no longer common in the snowy regions of the north. Snowflakes can suddenly fall in this place at any time of the day, and perhaps the Bantu people are used to this climate, but for outsiders, it is simply deadly. Most of those who come here have vowed never to set foot in the snowy northern lands again for the rest of their lives, and they are terrified of the cold here.
The snow on the snowy mountain was so thick that the two moved slowly. They had to stop for a while to rest every distance they walked, because climbing a mountain with such a thick layer of snow was really tiring. When they were halfway there, they couldn't walk anymore. But they thought that this might be Orka's first test for outsiders. The snow-capped mountains here are not as steep as those in the snowy border areas, so it is no easier for the Bantu people to climb such snow-capped mountains. Although Uma and Mirna have encountered worse circumstances, they don't want to spend time in such environments constantly.
The cries of wild ice tigers came from the woods, and the snow sliding down the hillside made the two of them feel like an avalanche was going to happen at any moment. It's so dangerous here that you can't even make a fire. When Uma returned to his resting place with a bundle of firewood, he found Mirna sitting on a stone that had been wiped off the snow. He hurriedly threw down the bundle of firewood and ran over and patted Mirna on the shoulder. "Hey, Mirna, don't sleep!"
Mirna slowly opened her eyes and said weakly. "What's wrong? Is it dawn?"
"What the hell......" Uma cursed. "I've found firewood, we can make a fire. ”
"Wow, that's the best news I've ever heard......" Mirna grinned as she tried to move her body, but she found herself unable to move. Even a blanket doesn't make much difference, and the cold here can be imagined. And once you fall asleep on the snowy mountain, then it means that your life has come to an end.
Uma quickly lit a bonfire with flint and steel, making it less cold. The fire beating in Mirna's eyes seemed to have become her spiritual sustenance at the moment, and now she finally became a little more sober. When she realized what kind of state she had just entered, she covered her mouth in horror. "Oh my God, I'm almost going to be an ice sculpture. ”
"Thanks to the fact that you can still remember, alas, I shouldn't have brought you here. Uma let out a long sigh.
"It's okay, it's okay to move your muscles and bones. Milna laughed.
"Would you like something to eat?" Uma asked.
Mirna shook her head, "No, frozen jerky will make me vomit my whole stomach." ”
"Yes, I know you, you must be wishing you had a steaming steak in front of you, preferably topped with tomato juice. ”
"Shut up, Uma, the more you talk about me, the hungrier I get. Mirna stopped.
"Well, I'm not going to talk about it. Uma added new firewood to the campfire.
yes, what to talk about in this hellish place? Silence swept over the two of them, but they weren't embarrassed. It's nice to warm up around a campfire, and silence doesn't mean anything. Both knew that when they returned to the warm tent, they would find plenty to talk about.
The thought of the adventurers who had gone to the ridge to challenge the beast trainer Ruug made Uma feel a little incredible. They must have had the same experience as themselves, except that they were not afraid of the cold, and they had to survive on the white snow-capped mountains that seemed to devour people. He looked up at Mirna, who was sitting across from him. Her face was flushed, which made her look even more cute.
"Uma. Mirna said suddenly. "What do you think we're going to encounter on the ridge?"
"Well, warlike Bantu, tamed Ice Tiger. If possible, we might run into snow rays, but I'm not sure if the Bantu have the power to tame them. Uma replied earnestly.
"Alas......" Mirna sighed. "Why do these barbarians always like to speak by force?"
"It's like they can't understand the people outside the snowy northern regions, we don't belong here anyway, and we should be neutral in the disputes between the Arads. Uma said.
Mirna looked up at Uma. "Can we really remain neutral? We are here to help the Duchy of Belmar, and we have chosen a side. ”
Uma raised a hand and gestured. "I'm not here to help the Duchy, I'm just here to meet the Ice Dragon Skasa. ”
"Say whatever you want. Mirna didn't intend to continue arguing, she was also confused and confused.
The wind was still howling, and time seemed to be frozen by the cold climate here. Much later, the experience of surrounding a bonfire on a snowy mountain still vividly remembers the two of them. Although this is only a small part of the long journey, I don't know why, this short experience is especially vivid in the memories of the two of them.
"It's time to go. Uma stood up and patted the snow off her clothes.
"Are you ready to face them?" asked Mirna.
"Of course, why would I choose to come here?" Uma shrugged.
Mirna clenched her fists, and now she was completely alive. "I'm going to look good on those guys, and I promise I'll show mercy. Her expression sent a chill through Uma standing across from her, which he believed was due to the terrifying look on Mirna's face. Uma thought, I don't know how many more unlucky eggs are going to turn into barbecue today.
