The caravan leader Gusang commanded his subordinates to sort out the goods in the camp and carry them to the pack cart, and then looked at the sun that was about to rise overhead, and couldn't help cursing in his heart, but also felt a little puzzled.

The people in the caravan got up late today, and they should have been called up by the guards who were keeping vigil in the early morning, but knowing that the sun was rising high, the people in the caravan woke up one after another, missing the best time to climb over the Quincy Snow Mountain.

If they continue on their journey, they may have to climb the mountain overnight, which is far more dangerous than climbing the mountain during the day.

In addition to such a big matter, the principals of the caravan, large and small, naturally have to be held accountable.

After questioning everyone, it was found out that the guards who were supposed to be on duty for the night had all fallen asleep one by one, which meant that their caravan's camp was in a completely undefended state last night.

After learning about this, everyone was afraid, and they were glad that they didn't meet any robbers, robbers or anything like that, otherwise the whole caravan would be over.

However, although they knew that the responsibility rested with the guards who were on duty at night, the principals who were present and listened to the guards' explanations did not mean to blame the guards, because they all thought of the legends about the castle at this moment.

Although the whole caravan seemed to be in good condition now, the night watchmen knew that they had all fallen asleep inexplicably last night, just like the victims of the legendary night in the castle.

So they all felt scared in their hearts, even in the daytime under the sun, they still felt that the surroundings seemed to be very eerie, and almost all the people in charge said that they did not want to stay here for another night, and proposed to leave immediately, even if they had to climb the mountain overnight.

Seeing this situation, although Gusang was worried about the danger he would encounter when walking the mountain road at night, he was also worried about the danger hidden in the ancient castle, thinking that this was not a place where he could stay for a long time, so he ordered to set up camp and pack up.

Although the caravan had already sorted out most of its packing the day before, these finishing methods were for climbing the mountain during the day, and at night, this finishing method could not be used, and it was necessary to change to a method to reduce the danger of climbing the mountain, such as the cargo of each pack cart must be lightened, and so on.

It took a lot of time to rearrange the goods, and by the time the pack carts were completely arranged and ready to hit the road, it was already midday.

The convoy did not stop to eat, but prepared a little dry food casually, and drove the pack cart directly, passing through the castle road at one end of the square to the other end, and began to officially step into the mountain road of Quincy Snow Mountain, according to the previous calculation, this is the real ancient salt railway.

The ancient salt railway was first a mountain road used by the mountain people of the Maris Kingdom to hunt, chop wood, and collect medicine, and was later discovered by some smugglers in the Maris Kingdom, so they expanded the mountain road, and then dug a road on the slope of this side of the Savile Kingdom, which gave rise to the Ancient Salt Railway.

At that time, there was no sea salt refining method in the world of Velon, and all the demand for salt came from salt mines on several continents, and the top three salt mines in the world of Velen were all in the Kingdom of Savile, and these salts were also important commodities in the Kingdom of Savile, and were listed as one of the prohibited goods by the Kingdom.

Similarly, the Kingdom of Maris uses the highest quality iron ore in the entire Vinylon world, and the special iron tools they produce can be said to be high-quality products, and they are also the hottest commodities in the entire Vinylon world.

The smugglers used this ancient salt railway to transport these two best-selling goods to the two countries, and obtained unimaginable profits, and some smugglers even became nobles of the two countries through the huge profits obtained.

Such huge profits naturally attracted the attention of the real nobles of the two countries, and they soon decided to take this smuggling trade route for themselves.

Although the smugglers were unwilling to give up such a big profit, they could not do anything in the face of the oppression of the two kingdoms, so they could only give up the ancient salt railway.

However, after that, the Savile Kingdom seemed to have attracted all the attention of the kingdom to the civil strife except for some civil strife, and the Maris Kingdom quickly sent people to the other side of the ancient salt railway, built a strong castle, and occupied the entire ancient salt railway.

Although the ancient salt railway dug by smugglers on the slopes of the Savile Kingdom was a little narrow and rudimentary at the beginning, because the Mares Kingdom later built a castle here to station troops, and it was necessary to transport military supplies frequently, so the ancient salt railway underwent a large-scale renovation.

Not only were the roads widened, but the width of the pack carts was carefully measured, and two tracks were installed on the ground for the pack carts to climb.

I saw that the caravan came to the bluestone road heading upward, skillfully stuck the wheels in the guide rail grooves on both sides of the road, and then drove the pack cart towards the top of the mountain.

Because, from time to time, smugglers and other caravans took this road, this old salt railway was not familiar with the long-abandoned road, except for some places where weeds grew and some gravel fell from the mountains, the road was in good condition.

However, this relatively good road condition only lasted halfway up the mountain, and after the middle section, most of the previously paved roads had been destroyed, leaving only a gravel road that could allow two cars to walk in parallel, and there would be some gravel falling down the road due to the mountain wind.

It took less than two hours to reach the caravan from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain, and it took almost the same amount of time to climb less than two kilometers from the halfway point of the mountain, and according to this speed of climbing, it is probably not possible until late at night to reach the summit area.

To make matters worse, it was already starting to rain and snow, and the ground was starting to get slippery.

For this reason, Gusan had to stop for a moment, cover the wheels with non-slip holsters, and then tie each pack cart with iron chains, which would also ensure that the pack cart would be pulled away from slipping into the ravine on the side of the road.

The really bad thing is not the slippery ground, but the strong winds brought by the rain and snow, which not only slow down the climb, but also constantly drop large boulders from the hillside, which are often fatal to fall.

The convoy was also very experienced in dealing with these large stones, and they all set up several shield-like iron plates on the pack carts, and the caravans and pack beasts hid under the iron plates, but there were still people who were too careless to catch the wheels, and were blown away from the protection of the iron plates by the strong wind, and then were hit by falling rocks and died on the spot.

The dead men, according to tribal rules, cut off their hair and nails, wrapped them in paper and handed them over to their families when they returned, while their bodies were dumped under cliffs beside the road.

Compared to the pack cart that was struggling ahead, the pack cart at the end of the caravan without any defenses seemed very relaxed.

There seemed to be an invisible force around the packer, and the violent rain and snow turned into a drizzle of snow when it approached there, and the wind turned into a breeze, and even the stones that fell from the sky would inexplicably change direction and pass by before approaching there, without causing any trouble to the carriage.

The driver of the packer, Sans, was worried about this danger at first, but as all kinds of strange things happened around him, he realized in his heart that it must be the people in the tent behind him, and his heart was slightly relieved.

Some of the people in the caravan who knew about the wood carving also noticed the situation of the carriage, and guessed in their hearts that this strange situation should be the work of the people in the carriage, and they felt more and more awe-inspiring in their hearts, and no one dared to come to the horse to make friends and talk.

Sitting in the carriage, Leo was not obstructed by the wind and snow and the falling rocks around him through the spirit net and the psionic protector carriage, but his mind was not on protecting the cart, but on the change of the pattern on his back.

There is no doubt that the pages from yesterday's Night God's Sigh have brought great changes to the pattern on his back, but the problem is that he can only find the change in the shape of the pattern now, and the changed pattern has not changed his nightmare power in any way, neither greatly enhanced the nightmare power, nor given him any knowledge related to the nightmare power and the Night God's sigh.

"Could it be that yesterday's thunder gun was too hard and damaged those pages? Leo couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and at the same time, some speculations came to his mind.

Although it was just a guess, Leo also felt that this guess might be true, after all, he didn't relentless at all from last night's thunder gun, and the power contained in it was not much worse than the energy main cannon on a starship, and although those pages were from the mysterious and powerful strange thing of the night god's sigh, but after all, it was only a few pages, even if it really contained powerful power, but after so many years, I am afraid that there was not much left, and it was reasonable that the thunder gun could damage it.

It's just that even if he was skeptical, Leo didn't give up on continuing to study the tattoo behind him, since those few pages can still cause changes in the tattoo behind him, then it will definitely make his nightmare power change, maybe this change is hidden, or maybe this change is very small, so he didn't notice it for the time being.

In this way, Leo stayed quietly in the pack cart, studying his own affairs, and paid no attention to all the movements outside.

The caravan pack carts, led by experienced veterans, slowly moved toward the top of the hill.

As it got dark, the convoy lit the torches, but because of the proximity to the top of the hill or for some other reason, the wind and snow around were much lighter, and the amount of gravel falling from the slope next to the road was greatly reduced, and it was all very fine gravel, no longer large boulders.

However, this does not mean that the road is easy to walk, the rain and snow during the day, at this time the road has become icy, the road is slippery and difficult to walk, a little careless, will make the pack car slide out of the lane.

Fortunately, every time there was an accident, the veteran in charge of the pack car was able to use the braking device on the pack cart in time to jam the ground and prevent the pack cart from sliding further, and then the other pack carts used the attached iron chain to pull the pack cart back that slid out of the lane, which did not cause major losses.

Along the way, the caravan did not suffer any major losses, except that when one pack cart slid out of the lane, nearly half of the cargo on it fell under the cliff on the side of the road because it was not securely tied.

Although the convoy walked slowly, it was steady, and finally reached the top of the Quincy Snow Mountain in the middle of the night.

The summit part of the ancient salt railway was built along a summit glacier, and there are some relatively gentle terrain around it for people to rest.

Although as the head of the caravan, it was much like continuing to walk along the mountain path in one go, but his sanity prevented him from doing so.

After a whole day of intense travel, the convoy was exhausted, and the ancient salt railway on the side of the Maris Kingdom was not like most of the relatively spacious two-lane roads on the side of the Savile Kingdom, most of them were extremely narrow lanes, and it took more concentration to drive the pack car to be able to walk through this ancient salt railway safely.

So, Gusan ordered the convoy to rest in place for an hour, boil some hot water and make some hot food on the spot, eat something, and recover some strength and energy.

When the convoy stopped, Leo stepped out of the pack cart and walked alone towards the glacier not far away.

Some of the convoy guards didn't know about Leo's situation and tried to prevent Leo from approaching the glacier, but they were stopped by the convoy masters, who didn't know what Leo was trying to do, but they knew that whatever Leo wanted to do was not up to them.

Leo walked to the edge of the glacier, and the spirit net was released, and he probed into the glacier.

The reason why Leo is interested in the glacier is because he feels that the glacier seems to contain an energy fluctuation, this energy fluctuation is very weak, almost equivalent to a low-level psionic creature, but the level of this energy is very high, at least beyond Leo's psionic level, because while feeling the energy fluctuation of Dao, he also feels a suppression from the life level.

"The god of the Quincy Snow Mountain, how is this thing?" Leo quickly discovered the source of this energy fluctuation, but what he found through the spirit net made him feel a little puzzled.

Because, Leo found that the thing that emitted that high-level energy fluctuations turned out to be a skull fragment, and this was also an extremely special skull fragment.

Driven by curiosity, Leo walked briskly to the top of the glacier, and the psionic energy was driven from his body, gathering at his feet to form an invisible drill bit, allowing him to drill into the skull fragments below the glacier like some kind of drilling device.

The people in the caravan were attracted by Leo's movements, they only saw Leo walking to the glacier, and suddenly the whole person sank into the iceberg, mistakenly thinking that he had fallen into the glacier crack, but before they could go to the rescue, Leo, who had just sunk into the glacier, floated up from below and landed on the surface of the glacier, but there seemed to be an extra thing in his hand.
