Chapter 19: Monsters of the Snow Mountains
The good luck finally came to an end, and the group had not encountered a single demonic beast since they entered the Terium Forest, so that everyone was a little negligent and completely forgot that this was a forest full of dangers.
One of Baron Julian's soldiers slashed a pine branch with his sword while searching, and then he suddenly felt as if he had been bitten by something in the chest. A white figure flew away from him, and when he looked down, he immediately let out a terrified scream! At some point, his heart was pierced by an ice arrow, and he hung on his chest. When everyone vigilantly gathered around, the soldier was already blind and dead!
"It's a squirrel, I see, it's a white squirrel!" another soldier not far from him shouted in horror, pointing to the bushes in the distance: "Aven alerted the beast when he chopped the branches, it spat out an ice arrow at Aven, and fled." Isn't the Green Arrow Squirrel's magic the weakest?Why did he kill Evan, and why did he ......!"
"That's not a Green Arrow squirrel. Lady Celine said, she looked at the chest of the dead soldier, the ice arrows had begun to melt, "The Green Arrow Squirrels can only send water arrows, and they can't hurt people at all, and their hair should be red and green arrows, without white animal hair." This should be the Ice Dwindling, a Level 2 Demonic Beast. Be careful not to go near the mountain. She pointed to the mountains beside her. "As long as you are vigilant, the speed of the ice arrow rat is not fast, and it should be completely able to dodge. But around the Ice Dart Rat, there must be another more powerful water-based magical beast [Ice and Snow Clouded Leopard], which feeds on this squirrel, but also doesn't mind tasting humans. ”
The Ice and Snow Clouded Leopard is a third-level demonic beast, and a junior Dou Qi warrior cannot defeat it alone. Miró feared further casualties, so he immediately ordered: "Don't disperse, a few people get together, Sera, you follow me." Worried about his daughter, and even worried about Lady Celine, a magician, Miro called her daughter directly.
Julian naturally called Kyle, who had long been frightened and pale, together, plus the two guards of the mid-level Fighting Spirit Warriors, even if the ice and snow clouded leopard really appeared, he would have time to retreat. The others were also five or six people gathered around, full of vigilance.
It seems that people have forgotten about the orc boy, Baroque doesn't mind at all, his vigilance is very sharp, in fact, he has just found the white squirrel hiding in the bushes, but he is too lazy to say, after all, it is a human and Julian's subordinates who died, he doesn't think he has an obligation to remind, and even if he can kill a few more people, it will be easier for him to clean up Julian and Kyle.
On the contrary, it was Madame Celine, seeing that the orc boy did not gather with others, and suddenly said to him: "Baroque, you can follow me." ”
After a little hesitation, Baroque leaned over, a little puzzled. After all, how could Lady Celine think of protecting a lowly orc, but she immediately thanked you: "Thank you, Lady Celine, you are a true nobleman with all the noble qualities. ”
Madame Celine chuckled, and Baroque suddenly realized that although she did not speak much, she was a very attractive beauty. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to her ......?
Baroque immediately shook his head, laughing at his own thoughts. Madame Celine's eyes were clear, and there was no unusual thought at all, which could still be seen for an orc shaman who dealt with spirits. She is indeed an upright and respectable lady.
The dead soldiers were put aside for the time being, and then taken away when it was time to leave. They continued to search the Red Pine Forest, and Baroque found that Madame Celine seemed to have something to say to him, but he didn't want to talk about anything with a human magician, so he asked in advance: "Madame Celine, as far as I know, the magic of the Green Arrow Squirrels is weak, and the magic core in their bodies is even smaller and pitiful, and they are of no use to the mage except as pets." I really don't understand why you came from the royal capital to the Terrim Forest to catch it?"
"Well, I don't need a Green Arrow squirrel, I just want to catch it just to fulfill the wish of a little one. Mrs. Celine sighed and showed a sad look: "My little niece Rorel has a strange disease, her time in the world is running out, she has always had a wish...... Would love to have a Green Arrow squirrel pet of your own. The Green Arrow squirrel is almost extinct, and it is not to be seen in the royal capital at all, and in order to fulfill the last wish of this poor child, it is said that there may still be traces of this squirrel in the forest of Terem, even if it is just a rumor, I will try my luck. ”
"But as you can see, this red pine forest is inhabited by ice dart rats, and there are almost no green dart squirrels anymore, after all, two squirrel groups cannot coexist in the same woods. Baroque said.
"I also know I might not find a Green Arrow squirrel here, but I always have to give it a try. You know, if I go back empty-handed, I really don't dare face that pitiful look in Lorel's eyes. Madame Celine shook her head, a little sad.
Although Baroque sympathized with the unfortunate little girl, he had promised the Green Arrow Squirrel King that he would not reveal any trace of their race, so he could not break his promise. He secretly wondered if he would secretly go back to the Squirrel King and ask for a squirrel back for Lady Celine...... It has so many people, it won't mind one or two less, right?
No matter how big the red pine forest is, there is always a time when the search is finished, but fortunately, although a few ice dirrels were encountered, no one was injured this time. It seemed that he was going to go home empty-handed, and everyone was very frustrated. Especially the two barons, Julian and Miró, one feels that his sycophants are not filmed well, which will upset Madame Celine, while the other is worried that his baby daughter has little hope of going to the Royal Capital Pampin Padya Higher School!
"Look, there's a big red pine forest in the middle of the mountain, or we can go there and have a look, maybe we'll find something!" said Julian, unwilling, pointing to a red pine forest halfway up the snow-capped mountain.
"This snow-capped mountain is likely to be inhabited by high-level demonic beasts, so let's not risk it, right?" Miro hesitated.
"Hehe, Brother Miro, we are only halfway up the mountain, not to go to the top of the mountain, we will not alarm the demonic beasts, and even if we alarm the demonic beasts on the mountain, we can all have time to retreat. Come on, we are the masters, don't let Lady Celine down. Julian said, insisting on going up and looking.
For the sake of her daughter, Miró no longer objected, and Lady Celine naturally didn't say anything and thanked the two barons. However, for the sake of safety, only a few people went up the mountain this time. Lady Celine, Baron Miró, Julian, two mid-level vindictive warriors, and Baroque!
Baroque was specially named by Julian, as for whether the orc boy who doesn't know how to fight or magic has a chance to escape in case he encounters a monster, then it is not something that the venerable baron should consider!
Perhaps Baron Julien's hope was fulfilled, and the four of them climbed the pine forest in the middle of the mountain, and before they could search carefully, Baroque suddenly raised his head with some feeling and looked at the towering snow-capped mountain. An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth! His soul was touched, and a powerful presence was approaching here, which made him feel familiar, but the others didn't seem to notice anything.
At this time, the advantages of the orcs were revealed, especially as an orc shaman, Baroque trance noticed a faint white figure wandering around the periphery, but if you looked closely, you didn't find anything, you could only feel that it was slowly approaching.
Baroque quietly avoided the side, and saw with his peripheral vision that the faint figure, hidden behind the white of the snowy mountain, was getting closer and closer to the two captains of Baron Julian's bodyguard. Baroque counted three in his heart 'one, two, three...... , I heard a very strange sound, like cutting fruit. Even though the two mid-level Dou Qi warriors had already sent out their Dou Qi to protect their bodies, it was still a little late, and a crystal ring of ice spun like a wheel and shot through, and the poor two guys' Dou Qi only lasted less than a second before it shattered, and the ice ring started from the waist and neatly cut them in half!
"Ah......hh Uh......" They let out a terrible scream, but because their bodies were broken, the screams stopped abruptly, only the sound of 'cooing' remained, and the two kept spitting blood clots in their mouths, and they couldn't die for a while, their faces were full of horror, and they stretched out their hands and crawled on the ground unconsciously, which was terrifying!
Baroque was completely stunned, he finally realized why it was so familiar! The ice ring, the ice ring that shot out, was exactly the same as the demonic beast that had already manifested its form, the wolf-shaped demonic beast! It was exactly the same as the wolf-shaped light and shadow in the totem pole!
"It's not good, it's a sixth-level demonic beast frost giant wolf, everyone run away!" Lady Celine was shocked, she was just an intermediate magician, in the face of this kind of high-level demonic beast, she had no ability to fight at all, and she didn't even have time to cast intermediate magic, so she immediately took out a magic scroll and tore it out, and a blazing wall of fire instantly burned and unfolded, blocking the frost giant wolf, and then turned around and fled down the mountain! Comparable, even if Madame Celine escapes late, she will be caught up and killed in an instant!
Julian and Miro turned and fled when they saw the Frost Wolf. At this time, the strength of Miro's high fighting spirit samurai was fully unfolded, and he rushed down the mountain at twice the speed of Yurian, picked up his daughter and ran away. The others also fled for their lives, and the guards of Spirits City had no one to care about the fat Young Master Kyle. Scared this kid out loud. ...... At this time, his true nature is revealed, who cares whether he lives or dies?
Fortunately, Julian rushed down the mountain, dragged his son, and secretly cursed the stupid and fat boy of the stinky boy, but he couldn't leave his only heir, and finally escaped far!
Only the Baroque, which remained where it was and did not leave. The frost wolf didn't chase after the fleeing man, but stared at the orc in front of him. The huge body was like the strongest horse, with a thick layer of animal hair as clear as snow. Open your mouth, under the sharp fangs like icicles, spit out a scarlet tongue, indescribably hideous and powerful. A ring of ice looms outside you, ready to burst out at any moment!
But neither the Baroque nor the Frost Wolf meant to attack. They were staring at each other, and Baroque had begun to whisper totemic incantations, as if standing under a totem pole, as he tried to communicate with the beast. In any case, I didn't expect to encounter the Frost Giant Wolf in this situation...... The wolf spirit in his totem pole is this kind of magical beast, and Baroque feels that his critical point can have hope of breaking through today!
Of course, the premise is that he can communicate with the soul of the Frost Giant Wolf and gain the trust of the Warcraft, otherwise, he will become the food of the Warcraft!
Orc shamans are sometimes so crazy that they are completely unaware of their danger, or rather don't care, Norman once told Baroque that there were too many orc shamans in the past who failed to communicate with Warcraft and were killed by Warcraft. But if you succeed, the harvest is often huge, maybe this is the way of shamanic sacrifice!
