Chapter 21: The Valley of the Wind
The Yulin River, which converges on the northern slope of Canglong Snow Mountain, winds down the Snow River, turns around the roaring rocks and rushes straight down, and finally arrives at the Rinfeng Valley, which is cut in half by the snow line. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe valley is like an inverted funnel, the wide upper half is covered with snow all year round, and the lower half is drastically reduced, and the vegetation is lush, but it is eventually squeezed into a canyon, and only the turbulent Yulin River carries the rain and dew from the top of the snow-capped mountains to the Changchuan Plain, forming a fertile impact soil.
A group of ten people stood in a snow-covered pine forest, looking out over the steep terrain of the Windy Valley. It is full of storm energy, and it is suitable for plant growth, and if there is, according to the bibliography, the grass from heaven is indeed here.
"Get ready to fight, at least the Snow Ape. "Hale's long sword is unsheathed, and we are all ready to fight, saying that no one will believe it if there is no demonic beast here, I don't know much about ice energy, but seeing Su Man's solemn expression, I also know that the opponent will not be easy to deal with.
We fanned the area, and it was a small blue and white grass with well-developed roots, but it was extremely short, and we had to peel through the snow and weeds to slowly search for its traces. Several snow wolves looked at the distance for a long time, and finally gave up on the group of humans.
"What are you picking all this grass for?" I asked curiously as I watched as Aqiu stuffed some flowers and plants of different colors into her jade ring.
"Give my Xiaoqing a medicinal bath, my Xiaoqing likes to take a bath the most. Yaqiu raised her wrist as she spoke, and a pair of golden snake eyes glared at me in the darkness of her sleeves. I got goosebumps all over my body, and remembered the tragic situation of the earth-splitting beast being killed by the snake, and quickly lowered my head and continued to rummage through the grass.
I've always been curious about Aki's identity and abilities, and she doesn't have any realm magician insignia on her. But at her age, it was already terrifying to be able to cultivate a snake spirit companion to such a realm. If she were going to report to the Supreme Tower, it would be no less than the ability of a fourth-order beast spirit.
In the afternoon, the team found nothing, but alarmed many creatures in the canyon, and the cautious Hale let us find a hidden crevice in the canyon to rest while the sun was still high in the western sky. Paige has collected a lot of rare herbs and plants today, and is happily sorting them, and we are relieved to see that he is so energetic, he has been languishing since the night of resurrection, and I hope that today is the beginning of a transformation.
We set up our humble camp and rested separately, and on this occasion, Aqiu asked me a lot about the trip, and she was particularly interested in the affairs of Luke the Necromancer.
"That's what he left behind. I took the small box out of the package and handed it to Yaqiu. Yaqiu stroked the lines on the bottom of the box and said, "This is the ancient Beige script. ”
I also noticed the symbols, but I didn't realize they were words, and I thought they were just symbolic patterns, so I asked, "Can you recognize them?"
After carefully identifying it, Yaqiu said, "The soul does not die, but only destroys. ”
I don't know anything about soul magic, but I at least know that Luke's ability to directly attack souls is beyond the boundaries of current magic, and Suman is also preparing to report this to the Tower of Suman.
"Who knows, maybe the soul system will rise in the future, just like the beast master rose in the Fourth Age. "Yaqiu handed the box back to me, and I put it in the package, because the spatial enchantment could not continue to store the spatial enchantment items.
After that, we talked about our experience at Tongtian Pass, and Yaqiu's words attracted Jiawen's attention.
"The tribes of the south are indeed gathering and seem to be preparing to march north, and the orcs and nomads have been getting close lately. ”
Gavin asked incredulously, "Orcs and Terrans?" ”
"Because the number of orcs is no longer growing, and the dragons are in a deep sleep again, they will sooner or later lose if they continue to wear out the alliance, which should be their strategy: to unite the marginal peoples of the human race. Yaqiu analyzed.
"But the barbarians also hate orcs. I asked.
"Yes, but the strength of the orcs is fading, and the territory of Sobainadine is shrinking, and in the face of the vast land, who can not be moved?"
What Yaqiu said does make sense, the nomads and the jungle people don't know how many battles they have fought with various kingdoms, if it weren't for the return of the dragons, the Third Age would be a contest within the human race. Now that the dragons are asleep, it is natural for them to seize the opportunity to seize the fertile land and territory.
Jiawen was very disturbed by this news, although he did not like politics and court politics, but he could not ignore the major affairs of the country, he was still the third prince of the Phipu Kingdom, with the unparalleled surname Solomon, and the blood of a hero in his veins.
Hale was also interested in this matter, and according to him, Aria was the gateway to the Terran kingdom to the Western Regions, and if the southern mountains and jungle tribes were united, Aria would bear the brunt. I didn't know much about military and political matters, and I could only silently listen to the three of them talking about the internal problems of the Terran Nation, as if I was not facing an adventure party, but a royal council.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky that night, and the ghost weather undoubtedly made our search much harder. We searched for three days without seeing the shadow of the grass falling from the sky, but the snow kept falling, during which some snow wolves and giant bears tried to take advantage of the wind and snow to attack us, and we took them down one by one. Yaqiu also made a pure white cloak out of snow wolf skin, and of course she didn't forget to get me wolf skin gloves and leggings to show me the care I have been taking care of, or rather bickering.
Snow wolf skins are indeed a good thing, especially in the Valley of the Wind, which has been completely covered in snow and ice.
"I think we'll have to search along the cliffs. Hale looked at the vast valley, and for days he had been carefully avoiding the mountains on both sides, searching along the Yulin River, but maybe the grass from the sky would grow on the cliffs?
We had to split into two teams to search along both sides of the valley, and I went to the east side of the canyon with Akiu, Gavin, Galio, and Sarah, who were three kilometers away from us, and it was difficult for them to take care of each other, and the large monsters often lived in caves in the mountains, so we would inevitably encounter some danger in this search. But Hale couldn't care about it anymore, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and if the path back to the southern part of the mountain was blocked, I am afraid that we would encounter even greater danger.
Galio, who was on guard, seemed to have noticed something, and his golden-blue wings flapped slowly, and then slowly rose into the air. We took a few steps back and saw the head of a snow ape glaring at us, letting out a few angry roars before leaving.
"That's not good. "When I saw the Snow Ape, the experience of the second adventure came to mind, this creature was only physically powerful, but it was quite intelligent, and it was never a good thing to be targeted by them.
"Don't you think that snow ape is a little weird? Sarah asked me. I was stunned, and in retrospect, there was something really wrong.
"Their heads are huge, and the moment I see it pull away, its eyes turn red. Sarah explained. Only then did I understand the problem, I am afraid that it was not as simple as the snow giant ape, but the ice monster - the snow troll.
