Chapter 67: Battlefield Mission
【West Ash Blue Empire・Abyss Corridor - North Forest】
As far as the eye can see, the huge forest is hidden in the endless heavy snow.
This is the northernmost part of the Abyssal Corridor, approaching the northern border of Aslan's realm. At the end of the snow-covered forest is the territory of the Wind Source Inde Empire. For a long time, in addition to the normal trade between the people, the people in the soul art world basically did not easily set foot in the territory of other countries, and the four countries had spent a long time in peace, far away from the flames of war, so they all had a rare consensus with each other.
Moreover, for water sources, the existence of wind sources is an oppressive force. There are relatively more soul magicians in the water source Yaslan who have been to the fire source and the earth source, and there are very few people who have entered the wind source. In the final analysis, it is based on the overwhelming restraint of the wind element against the water element.
Not to mention crossing the border, even the extreme northern land of this abyss corridor located in the territory of the country is rarely inhabited, because there are countless ancient soul beasts with powerful soul power inhabiting this forest sea and snow region.
Undulating, dense and full coniferous forests stretch to the end of the eye, and the horizon is obscured by a dense sea of trees. Every leaf was wrapped in snow and ice and turned into a shining silver thorn. These towering ancient trees that stand between heaven and earth are wrapped in ice and snow in their original outlines, and there is no trace of green in sight, as if they are ice giants standing in the wilderness.
The cold winter had begun two months earlier, with violent winds and snow whirling back and forth between the towering trunks of the trees, and the goose-feathered snow blowing the eyes blank.
The great cold froze the air and also froze all the sounds. Except for the shrill howling of the wind, there was a dead silence in the boundless forest, and there was no roar of birds and beasts.
The sound of rapid footsteps was gradually audible.
From the footsteps, it sounds like the cadence of two people. Their footnotes are light and fast. If you listen closely, the footsteps of one of them are weaker and lighter, like a ghost in the air.
The footsteps kept moving at a flying speed, heading towards the snowy forest.
"This is almost the border of the Abyss Corridor, and further north is about to enter the border of the Wind Source Inde Empire, are you sure this is it? It should be in the center of the abyss corridor, right?"
"Just follow me. Do you even doubt my judgment? You forgot what my talent is, hehe. The sweet voice of a young girl slid through the air like silk. She was the one with lighter, stranger footsteps.
In the white snowy forest where the morning light appeared, teenagers and maidens swept towards the end of the snowy forest at an incredible speed, and their clothes were extremely light, and they seemed to be completely unable to resist the cold of this far north. However, they don't seem to be affected in any way, their complexions are healthy and moisturized, their lips are bright, and they even have a sinister smile on their faces, as if bathed in the warm spring breeze of cherry blossoms.
Two small figures, running quickly, turned into two golden rays of light in the wind and snow.
"Lord Zila. This is almost close to the northern border of the Abyssal Corridor, can the Bronze Sparrow really be on such an edge?" Lu Jue stood at the entrance to the huge Ice and Snow Forest. Looking at the end of the surging wind and snow, he asked with a slight frown. The arch of his brow was covered with scattered snow and looked like an elaborately carved silver ornament.
"This is the Forest of the North, the northernmost part of the Abyssal Corridor and the northernmost territory of the entire Aslan Empire, so the climate is cold. Heavy snow all year round. However, strictly speaking, this endless sea of snow trees is not entirely a pure natural landform. In fact, walk out of this forest, go further north, and enter the territory of the wind source. There weren't so many blizzards over there. A large part of the reason for the heavy snowfall that continues throughout the year is that it is home to the Bronze Sparrow. The Bronze Sparrow is a very rare soul beast in the Yaslan Realm, it is capable of creating snow over a large area, and its chirping can cause the surrounding environment to cool down rapidly, resulting in frost. For Yas Blue Soul Sorcerer, who was born with the water element as the basis for combat, it is a rare auxiliary soul beast that can provide a wide range of buffs to combat effects. When snow changes the battlefield to a water elemental environment, we can quickly create formations that increase the advantage in battle. ”
"However, our talent has been freed from the shackles of the water attribute, and we can make formations in various places at any time, right?
"I hope that the purpose of your capture of the Bronze Sparrow as a soul beast is not to fight against our own Lord of Aslan, nor is it to make it easier for you to make a formation, the purpose of your possession of the Bronze Sparrow is to change the elemental attributes of the battlefield and provide as much buff and support as possible for our own teammates. Our talent has never been known for its unstoppable and powerful attack power, nor is it known for its extreme regenerative recovery ability and defensive ability, and our role on the battlefield is closer to auxiliary support and team control, speed and formation, which are our core combat strength. It is our mission to disrupt the rhythm of the enemy's attack, increase the area of the battlefield, and control the enemy in groups. There are several other Lords in the Yaslan Realm who can output explosive damage in a very short period of time, so it is our important mission to protect and assist them and create a safe and advantageous offensive environment for them. At the same time, changing the attributes of the battlefield can also effectively prevent the Wind Lord and the Earth Lord from arbitrarily creating formations in the air and on the ground. In the icy and snowy water attribute world, the Water Lord will have a more obvious advantage, so that we will have a better chance of winning in the face of the Wind Lord and the mysterious Earth Lord who are suppressed by the innate element. ”
"What about the fire source?" Lu Jue asked.
"Based on the suppression of the fire element by the water element, it is unlikely that the Fire Lord will confront us head-on in the ice and snow or on the ocean. ”
"I see......" Lu Jue looked at Qila's face decorated with ice and snow, and his pupils were the reflection of flying snowflakes.
"Moreover, this is only one of the abilities of the Bronze Sparrow, in addition to the Bronze Sparrow's chirping sound can quickly cause a wide range of cooling, its loud chirp can also stir up the soul power in the soul loop of the soul magician, making it more violent to impact the Lord Seal, so that the soul beast and the soul magician's own soul power can get a huge leap in a short period of time, although it is temporary, but in the battle where every second counts, it is precious. Therefore, its chirp is also known as the "Horn of the God of War". Therefore, for us as auxiliary combat and team buff control, it is very ideal for us to have a soul beast like [Bronze Sparrow]. ”
Qi La wrapped his robe tightly, he looked at Lu Jue, and asked in a low voice, "Are you cold?"
"It's cold, but you can hold on, don't worry, Wangjue. Lu Jue nodded, his eyes resolute.
"Then let's go. ”
The two of them wrapped their cloaks and walked towards the depths of the dense snowy forest. (To be continued.) )
