Chapter 16: The Blizzard

Snow-capped, vast snowfield, the sky is pure like a blue diamond, the ancient vast iceberg, winding and undulating, rugged and steep, like a curled giant, and like a dormant dragon. The wind is cold, and the scenery is magnificent!

The snow ostrich crossed more than ten miles of snowfields and entered the tundra area at great speed. Some meadows or mountain forests appeared, and there were more signs of life. The sky is getting late, the sun is setting in the west, the icebergs and snowy ridges are shrouded in twilight, and the snow icebergs seem to be plated red, with a gratifying warmth.

Qin Yue looked at the scene on the horizon, and couldn't help but be a little intoxicated in her heart, if she stayed in Baicheng, she was afraid that she would never see the vision in front of her for the rest of her life!

Ying'er hugged the ostrich tightly, she was exhausted.

Mu Yun took out the map, unable to determine where it was, the Frost Plateau was vast and sparsely populated, and it was not easy to find the exact location of the [Song of Hell] and the location of the [Holy Spring].

No clue!

Mu Yun frowned and looked at the spotless iceberg and snow ridge, and the journey to the frost plateau was probably more difficult than imagined. Leave it alone for the time being, it's getting dark, find a place to spend the night.

"Oh no! Orc!"

Meng Hu shouted again.

Mu Yun's nerves tensed again, and he immediately looked in the direction pointed by Meng Hu, the wolf cavalry was lined up and was galloping towards it, the number was twice as many as just now, at least 80!

"These bastards are really persistent!"

"Say no more! Run!"

The snow ostrich did not need to be commanded at all, and when it saw the wolf appear, it immediately screamed twice in fright, turned around and ran in the opposite direction, completely ignoring the command.

Pojie led all his wolf cavalry to chase after him through the scent, but what he didn't expect was that these damn humans had brought in a few bigfoot!

"Bigfoot can't stamina, can't run far!"

"Give me chase!"

The wolf cavalry pursued fiercely, while the humans fled desperately.

Under the twilight of the sunset, a fierce chase is being staged on the snowfields of the highlands. While driving the wolf, Bojie took out his longbow and shot an arrow at it, the distance was too far, and the arrow missed, almost touching Mu Yun's face.

It's so thrilling!

The snow ostrich was stimulated and ran even more lifelessly!

Mu Yun clamped the ostrich between his legs so as not to be turned upside down, and he shouted to Ying'er: "Ying'er, you must hold on!"

Ying'er was about to cry when she was turned upside down, and she grabbed it with all her might. She knew that if she was thrown out, she would die. Meng Hu is the most calm, after all, he is a martial artist, his physical fitness is tough, and he still has the strength to turn around and reflect an arrow.

Shout!

A galloping wolf was shot in the head, and fell down with a wail, and the wolf cavalry rolled out of the snow for four or five meters, and was thrown to pieces, and he definitely couldn't stand up.

Qin Yue borrowed the power of the Staff of the Green Forest to cast a 20-ring [Vine Trap] across 3 rings.

Four or five green beams were spilled out, all of which disappeared into the ground, and when the wolf cavalry stepped on them, several vines came out like lightning and wrapped around the wolf's legs, and one of the wolf cavalry tripped on the spot without paying attention.

Mu Yun felt that the situation was very bad.

The ghost face's soul fire can't be overdrawn anymore, otherwise it will be extinguished, and it is very difficult to refine the high-level corpse witch, so I don't want to scrap it like this! It's just that the snow ostrich can't stamina, and with a big living person on his back, he can't run away from a wolf.

Mu Yun just doesn't understand, are these orcs sick?

It's just four or five people, is it really necessary to work hard and hold on to it?

The two sides are getting closer!

The situation is getting more and more critical!

In the process of chasing the wolf cavalry, suddenly the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the frost plateau climate is harsh, the weather often changes, the sky in front has gradually become gloomy, and the arrows shot out are hindered by the strong wind, which has a certain impact on the accuracy.

"The blizzard is coming!"

"Hurry back!"

Bojie, a half-orc native of the Frost Plateau, knew immediately what was going to happen and immediately lifted the chase and left the wolf cavalry to find a place to hide from the blizzard.

Mu Yun looked back.

The wolf cavalry was thrown away from the distance.

"They're not chasing!"

Meng Hu glanced at the sky and said, "This sky doesn't look good!"

I saw the clouds surging in the distance, like a vast and turbulent wave, raging and rolling. The roar was more like the galloping of thousands of horses, and the momentum was incomparably majestic. The howling wind, blowing desperately, made a piercing hiss, as if there were thousands of poisonous snakes, and hissed in the ears at the same time.

The day had become so fast that distant shadows had just appeared, and in the blink of an eye, half the sky was covered!

Meng Hu shouted, "It's a snow storm!"

Mu Yun shouted to Ying'er: "Quickly use the talisman to protect yourself!"

Ying'er and Qin Yue activated a [Water Shield Technique] talisman, and a layer of light water patterns formed around their bodies.

"Find a place to hide!"

Meng Hu's shouts were muffled in the wind. Several people rode ostriches in the snow, looking for shelter in a frenzy.

The blizzard had already come, instantly filling the whole world, the wind swept the hail, shot like bullets, and landed on the spell shield, flooding with water-like ripples, constantly hitting the icebergs and ice, and bursts of glass shattered like a crisp sound. It's like a million steel balls being thrown to the floor at the same time.

"There it is!"

"There's a hole here!"

Several people gave up the ostrich and hid in a small cave, Meng Hu was the last to enter, he filled his hands with his true qi, picked up a large stone weighing hundreds of kilograms, retreated into the cave, and blocked the entrance of the cave with a stone.

"It's safe!"

Several people sat in the cave exhausted.

Mu Yun's whole body was sore, there was no place to be comfortable, he was still like this, and the two women were even worse, "Are you all right?"

Qin Yue and Ying'er were lying on the ground gasping for breath, Qin Yue was speechless, just waved her hand, indicating that she couldn't die. Mu Yun took out two potions from his bag and let the two of them drink them, one of them was a cold-resistant elixir, and the other was a fatigue relief potion, which was needed the most at the moment.

The two of them drank it and got better.

Ying'er said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't help every time!"

Mu Yun patted Ying'er's head: "No, how many men don't dare to go to the Frost High Plain, how many soldiers have weak legs when they see half-orcs, you are only a little girl under 16 years old! Your performance is already very satisfactory!"

"But ......" Ying'er was overjoyed, but she pursed her mouth and said, "The young master is more than a year older than me!"

Mu Yun patted her: "Can you compare with me?"

Ying'er laughed, scratched her head and said, "I also prepared spells, but every time I was nervous, I forgot the spell!"

Mu Yun couldn't cry or laugh, how could the mana at the level of Ying'er's apprentice be used to deal with the wolf cavalry?

Meng Hu didn't understand very much why Mu Yun brought Ying'er to the plateau, but fortunately, Ying'er looked stronger than she looked, and although she didn't help, she didn't hold back. On the contrary, it is Qin Yue, Meng Hu is more optimistic, this woman is not afraid of danger, calmly casts the right spell, but has a good talent for actual combat!

"I'm going to recharge Ghost Face!"

Mu Yun untied his pocket and grabbed out a few Rank 1 Beast Crystals.

Qin Yue watched curiously from the side.

Oniface lay flat on the ground, his cloak and armor taken off, revealing a thin, blue-black body, which looked a little scary. Ghostface's body was covered with different circles and runes, like strange tattoos, and around the place of the seventh vertebrae, there was a distinctive gray-black circle.

Mu Yun put the beast crystal in the center, made a strange gesture with both hands, and recited an obscure spell from his mouth.

The magic circle lit up, and the energy in the beast crystal was drawn in little by little.

This process takes several hours.

Use up eight Rank 1 Beast Crystals before and after.

When everything was over, Mu Yun showed a hint of deep exhaustion, and after drinking a few bottles of potion, he put on armor for the ghost face, put on a black cloak, and put on a mask.

"High-level corpse witches are easy to use, but they are too expensive, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to use them. ”

It cost 8 beast crystals in such a short time!

Qin Yue and Ying'er drank the potion, the fatigue was quickly relieved, the cold-resistant medicine warmed the body, and they ate some cold venison left over from last night, and used spells to create a flame to roast it to eat, and their physical strength quickly recovered.

A blizzard roared outside, like tens of thousands of monsters roaring.

I don't know when it will pass.

"Take a sip and warm up!"

Meng Hu handed over an animal skin bag around his waist.

Mu Yun unscrewed it and took a sip, and immediately felt a flame flowing from his throat into his stomach, and he felt that his tears were almost smoked out, but he still swallowed it hard.

Meng Hu laughed a few times and said, "It's cool, isn't it!"

After speaking.

He grabbed it back and took two large sips with a happy expression.

Ying'er said: "Brother Tiger's archery skills are awesome! And his martial arts skills are also very powerful, stronger than Uncle One-eyed!"

Meng Hu laughed proudly when he heard this, and said, "That old man is old, how can he compare with me? My archery and martial arts are all taught by the regiment leader!"

Mu Yun said with a slight teasing: "The head of the regiment teaches and guides you hand-in-hand, and he also marries his daughter to you, and the next head of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Regiment is none other than you!"

Meng Hu's old face turned red, coughed a few times and said, "That's my strength to catch up, it's not about the head of the regiment!"

Seeing his bear-like rude appearance, Qin Yue couldn't help but pout, a little unconvinced!

"Hey, don't believe it yet!" Meng Hu began to explain. "There were several competitors of the same age, one of whom I had broken his leg, one of whom had broken his hands, one of whom had broken four or five ribs, and one who had fled before he could fight. The winner is king, the fist speaks, this is not by strength, but by what?"

Ying'er and Qin Yue glanced at each other.

It's really a matter of strength!

Mu Yun also showed a hint of a smile, Meng Hu's personality was like his father, he seemed to be rude and savage, but in fact he was rough and fine. Compared with the one-eyed, Meng Hu is considered to be blue and has great potential. The head of the Snow Wolf Mercenary is not a stupid person, and nine times out of ten he is the heir of the Snow Wolf Mercenary.

Meng Hu is a bloody man.

This kind of person is rare!

Mu Yun has a good impression, if he can go back safely, he will definitely help him.

The blizzard lasted all night, and only weakened slightly the next morning, Meng Hu took a lot of effort to push away the stones blocking the entrance of the cave, and a large number of crystal snowflakes floated in the air, and the snow on the ground was thicker, but it was mixed with hail in it, so it was still relatively strong.

"Let's go!"

Mu Yun studied the map for a night and found the approximate location, the current location is in the [Falling Cold Mountain Range], about 50 kilometers away, which can only be regarded as the outer area of the Frost Plateau, if Mu Yun wants to advance north, it will take several days to reach the sphere of influence of the [Song of Hell] tribe at the earliest.

The wolf cavalry may still not have given up the pursuit.

Those orcs were very persistent and annoying, they seemed to sense Mu Yun's purpose of entering the plateau, and they were trying their best to prevent Mu Yun from meeting with the people of [Hell Song], the more this happened, the more Mu Yun wanted to meet.

Because [Hell Song] may really have the power to prevent the war!

Several people walked for dozens of minutes.

"Mu Yun, look!"

A few frozen snow ostriches fell in front, and not long after they died, the warbler saw it and showed regret. These big birds run very fast, and if you can ride them, then you can save a lot of energy.

Mu Yun didn't care and said: "Don't worry, there are grasslands and forests in front, and there will definitely be demonic beasts such as cows, sheep, and horses, and we can just tame a few." ”

Meng Hu observed the corpse and said, "These bigfoot birds did not die from the blizzard, the wounds on their bodies were huge, and the internal organs were eaten, they must have been killed!"

"Oh?" Mu Yun glanced at it, and sure enough, "Can you tell that you were killed by something?"

Meng Hu shook his head and said: "From the shape of the wound, it is not torn with teeth or sharp objects, but it is torn apart like brute force, and the bones also show signs of shattering, it is estimated that it was done by a demonic beast similar to an iron gibbon!"

"This blood hasn't been completely frozen yet, and that thing is probably nearby!"

Mu Yun had some vigilance in his heart.

Now that he has just gotten rid of the wolf cavalry, could he not be targeted by the demonic beasts again?
