Chapter 14: Target Naronto
The Narondo Mountains are unusually large, and the Gega Forest is like the skirt of the high Narondo Mountains, along the winding Ergul River on the west side, fluttering softly and softly connected to the southernmost Blue Persian coast, and the Uwang Kingdom on the east side is like a child led by Narondo's mother, closely following his mother's footsteps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe farther north you go, the taller and more majestic the Narondo Mountains become, there is a huge crater on the top of the highest peak of Naronto, surrounded by scattered shrubs, and down there is perennial snow and ice, from a distance, it looks like a goddess of ice and snow wearing a beautiful crown of thorns, looking at the orc kingdom farther north with a wary gaze.
Liang Ke has been walking in the mountains for three days, and he has long been unable to see any trees that can shelter from the wind and snow, and the swift mountain wind mixed with ice particles and snow slag hit Liang Ke's face with a crackling sound, if it weren't for Liang Ke's modified monster physique, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to reach the mountainside, so this never-ending Gang wind blew away the shelf.
"My lord, even if we don't freeze to death, you must tell me that this hard life of hunger and cold will come to an end someday. "Although the teeth are strong and strong, in such a wind, I have to be careful to take every step solidly, so as not to be blown down the ice and die unjustly in this mountain.
"I didn't expect these dwarf winter melons to live in such a harsh environment, even if they are made of stone, they will be blown into slag by this wind! Old Zida told me that they live near here, you see, the road under our feet has come to an end, I don't believe they can fly. ā
"Whew!" Although Ya didn't dare to express it, he still used an angry howl to vent his dissatisfaction with Liang Ke. With that long roar, another voice was heard in the air.
"Click!"
"My lord, did you hear anything?" Tooth's hearing was obviously much better than Liang Ke's, he raised his head high, and then, from the air, smelled a smell called danger.
"It seems that there are some sounds, but I can't hear them clearly, you ...... again" Liang Ke just pricked up his ears and was about to listen carefully to what the sound was, only to hear a loud "boom!" from the ridge, followed by a piece of frozen snow with a width of three or four miles, with the momentum of thunder, broke away from the mountain, galloped like a meteor, and pressed towards the end of the path where Liang Ke and Ya were.
"Fuck run, it's an avalanche, run diagonally. You bastard, howl to death, and now you're going to die. Liang Ke faced the snow waves that pressed over like a mountain, showing the qualities of a special soldier, recovering his composure at the first time, and making the most reasonable response, with a sharp mane of teeth, he rushed out desperately towards the only clump of larch forest on the mountainside below the right.
At this moment, Ya also showed a lot of running qualities beyond the normal level, stretching out his long fiery red tongue, lowering his head, hunching his waist, and every time he ran forward, he would cross a distance of more than ten meters, but even so, the roar of the snow waves behind him was getting closer and closer, and snow foam had already begun to hit Ya's big buttocks. 500 meters...... 300 meters...... 100 meters...... The woods were close in front of him, and at the moment when Liang Ke and his teeth were about to rush into the pine forest, the heavy snow with huge inertia slammed into Liang Ke's head from behind, and the huge teeth of his body were like a lonely boat in the sea at this time, and they were instantly submerged by the snow waves dozens of meters high, and they didn't even have time to let out an unwilling howl.
A sudden avalanche lasted for a few minutes, and the woods on the mountainside were completely submerged under the thick snow, and even the little finches that had been in the mountains did not know where they had flown away, and the whole Naronto Mountains seemed to be left with only a whining wind.
Liang Ke slowly regained some consciousness, and slowly, his hands and feet began to move, although his eyelids were a little heavy, but instinct told him to open his eyes immediately to figure out his condition.
When Liang Ke tried to raise his eyelids, he found something that made his hairs stand on end, and he might be blind, because even if he confirmed that he had raised his eyelids and widened his eyes, it was still infinitely dark in front of him. Liang Ke closed his eyes again, shook his head, let his tense nerves relax, when he regained his calm thinking, Liang Ke opened his eyes again, but still did not see the light he hoped to see, there was still infinite darkness in front of him. Liang Ke reached out and touched the surroundings, and found that the teeth were in front of him, with a normal body temperature and well-proportioned breathing. "Foolish!" Liang Ke tried to call out through his mental power.
"My lord, are we still alive?" Fang moved his body hard, and found that he seemed to be pressed by something.
"It's supposed to be alive, but it's like we're buried in the snow, and we have to find a way to get out. Liang Ke was sure that his teeth were fine, and he felt a little at ease.
"I said this place doesn't look like hell! As long as you live, it's easy to get out. As he spoke, his teeth opened his mouth, and a mouthful of lava erupted like a volcanic eruption, where could the already loose snow withstand such high temperatures, and a big hole was dissolved in an instant, and the cave wall became bigger and bigger, Liang Ke was horrified to find that he and his teeth actually began to slide into the depths of this hole.
"Damn, you bastard, your head is down. The speed of the slide of one man and one beast became faster and faster, and Liang Ke finally realized that the teeth were dissolving a hole under his body, and the two of them were falling deeper into the snow.
"Hold on to my mane, my lord, this blazing wave of mine shouldn't be so powerful, we might have fallen into the ice. ā
"Nonsense, it's still up to you, with your paws, stupid. ā
Only then did the tooth react, and quickly inserted his claws like a steel rake deep into the smooth ice wall, and the sharp claws cut through the ice, shooting out countless ice chips, pulling out two deep ravines, and I don't know how long it took for the inertia of the descent of one man and one beast to slowly disappear, and finally stopped. At this time, only a pair of front paws were still on the edge of the ice cave, and the hind legs were already hanging in the air, and Liang Ke tightly grasped the big tail of the tooth, hanging behind the ass of the tooth, like the secretion that the tooth had not processed cleanly.
Liang Ke looked down, there seemed to be a cave below, and there was a faint fire, but because it was obscured by smoke and mist, he couldn't really see it.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not blind, and I didn't fall straight down, otherwise we'd both be turned into meatloaf." Liang Ke patted his thumping chest and comforted his teeth that were also frightened.
"We'll have to find a way to get out of here, hanging here isn't a long-term solution!" the dragon egg gave a seemingly wise suggestion.
"I don't know how to go out yet?, the great demon dragon Lord Achilles, why don't you come and have a magic that will make us fly?" Liang Ke strongly despised the most useless egg at the moment.
"It's not easy to get out, look at me. As soon as the teeth fell, the two hind legs that hung in the air stretched back, and then the waist and abdomen exerted force forward, and the hind legs suddenly kicked back on the ice wall.
"Stupid, don't!ah......" Before Liang Ke could stop Ya's stupid action again, Ya's powerful hind limbs shattered the already extremely fragile ice wall, and the cracked ice could no longer bear Ya's heavy body, and Liang Ke and Ya fell to the bottom of the cave with a long sound.
"Ah...... Puff pass! puff pass!" "The tooth used the simplest and rude method to get this strange combination out of the strange predicament, and the price was that it hurt so much that Liang Ke tried to climb a few times and didn't get up, it seems that this monster physique is not King Kong is not bad, Liang Ke gritted his teeth, inhaled the cold air and touched his body. It was finally confirmed that three ribs were fractured, the tibia of the left and right legs was comminuted, and the internal organs may also have ruptured, making it difficult to breathe.
"Foolish, are you still alive?" Liang Ke struggled to keep himself conscious, and then tapped his head against his motionless teeth.
"This guy didn't fall lightly, I'm afraid he won't regain consciousness for a while. This time it was the egg that answered him.
"It's good that you're not dead, how serious is it?"
"I'm afraid it's serious, I have a terrible toothache. ā
Liang Ke confirmed that his teeth were not in danger of life, and his tense emotions relaxed suddenly, and his eyes went dark, and he fainted.
I don't know how long later, Liang Ke woke up, and after waking up, he first confirmed his physical condition, although it did not improve significantly, but someone had already strengthened the broken bone, and it was no longer so painful, and Liang Ke began to observe the room.
It's a stone house, a pure stone house. The whole granite carved large bed is thick and generous, and on the round table of dark green blue tooth stone in the middle of the stone house, there is a slightly reddish mutton fat jade tea tray, and a set of pale yellow water cave lotus jade tea sets are placed on the tea tray. Around the stone table are four stone benches that are also made of green tooth stones. The hard granite wall is connected to the same granite floor, and there is not a single gap in sight, and a small round window has opened in the wall, and a faint fire shines through the window, reflecting on Liang Ke's face. "Squeak!" the heavy stone door pushed open from the outside, and a short figure squeezed in through the crack in the door with a large stone basin. Liang Ke raised his head to look, but due to the backlight, he couldn't see the face of the person who came.
"Master Aragorn, you're awake!" the dwarf put down the stone basin, lit the candle on the wall, and went to the bed to check on Liang Ke's injuries.
"Master, are you better?"
"Oh, it's Tucker, it doesn't hurt so much, where am I now, what's going on with my big dog?" asked Liang Ke with concern.
"This is the sky city of our hill dwarves, you and your demon pet are really powerful, it's okay to fall from the sky so high in the holy city to the smelter, your demon pet's recovery is quite amazing, it woke up earlier than you, and the broken bones on its body are actually healed by itself, but now the body is still a little weak, my father asked Aunt Belina to take care of it, please rest assured." Tucker briefly introduced the situation to Liang Ke.
"Master, you are really amazing, I have never seen anyone jump from a height of nearly 100 meters and survive. Father said that your physical recovery ability is comparable to that of high-level demonic beasts, otherwise I am afraid that even our high priest will not be able to save you. You rest first, and I'll go and tell my father and Uncle Zida the good news that you've woken up. After saying that, Tucker poured Liang Ke a cup of tea and put it on the bedside, and then ran out to report the news.
There was not much time, and the loud voice of old Zida came from outside the door. "Is Brother Aragorn awake? It's wonderful, thank you to the god of work for bless this reckless bad boy, how dare he jump from such a height?"
Zida took a few dwarven warriors who were familiar with Liang Ke, rushed into the door, walked to the bed and held Liang Ke's hand excitedly.
"Brother Aragorn, you have woken up, I have been scared a lot these days. ā
"Brother, thank you so much for saving your life this time!" Liang Ke was faintly painful by Qi Da's shaking arm and pulling the injury on his body, but looking at the old Zida's concerned expression, he couldn't bear to snort.
"What a life-saving grace, that's your kid's own life, and he didn't fall directly into the smelting furnace of our smelter, otherwise even Father God may not be able to save you. By the way, tell my brother, how did you jump from such a high place?"
"Old brother, don't mess with me, where did I jump down, I fell ......" Liang Ke shook his head helplessly, and told Old Qida about his experiences in the past few days after coming out of the county town.
"Oh, I see, I said Tucker, this stupid boy, has been waiting for you in the pass for days, and I haven't seen any of you. I didn't make it clear to blame my brother for this matter, you were in a hurry at the beginning, and I only told you a rough idea. The entrance to the holy city of our hill dwarves is very hidden, and few people who are not of my race know how to enter it. Actually, the entrance is in a cave in the Gega Forest where you came, and it is rarely used in normal times, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it. Originally, I asked Tucker to wait for you at the edge of the Gega Forest, but I was afraid that you would go the wrong way and end up missing. Thanks to the roar of that demon pet of yours, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to find a way to enter the Holy City even if you had been walking around the mountain for a few years!"
"Brother, don't make fun of me, if it weren't for that foolish man who repeatedly and repeatedly got into trouble, I wouldn't have fallen so badly, and I would have to lie on the bed and bother my brother to take care of me. Hehe!" Liang Ke blushed and laughed twice.
"You lord's favor is really extraordinary, that big guy doesn't even know his kind of wise high priest, and you are also a pervert with a strong body, you can only move in a few days......"
While Qida and Liang Ke were talking, there was another sound of heavy and rhythmic footsteps at the door. Zida glanced back at the few people who came in, and quickly got up and stood by the bed, while the other dwarves also bowed their heads respectfully and stepped aside.
The dwarf who walked in front was thicker than the other dwarves, covered in a set of dark red heavy steel armor, thick eyebrows like two brooms, and a pair of small eyes under the thick eyebrows flashed brightly, not angry and self-threatening, making people always feel as if those eyes could penetrate the heart and read the truest thoughts in their hearts. The resolute cheeks were densely covered with short whiskers like steel needles, and from a distance they looked like a hedgehog hanging from the neck of a dwarf.
Half a step behind the red-armored dwarf, followed by an old man who was tall and thin, wearing a gray robe, holding a wooden staff, this old man gave people the feeling of "gray", gray hair was sparsely draped behind his head, thousands of wrinkles cut by the years were messily piled up on his slightly long cheeks, a pair of gray-brown eyes under the long gray eyebrows, the gray whites of the eyes were mixed with the gray pupils, making people feel a trace of gray uneasiness rising from the bottom of their hearts. The most unbelievable thing was that the old man's hands exposed outside the sleeves of his robe were shriveled and thin, and a layer of drooping old skin trembled on the ground with the staff, and that layer of old skin was actually a dull gray. It was the first time for Liang Ke to see such a terrifying-looking person, and he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and his body unconsciously lifted up, so he touched the wound again, making Liang Ke feel a burst of pain.
"Brother Aragon, let me introduce you. This is the most valiant warrior of our hill dwarves, our Patton chief, the master of the Holy City today. Zida stroked the red-armored dwarf's arm with his hand.
"This is the great wise man we all admire, the soul of Mount Narondo, our high priest, Master Narondo. Zida was more respectful when he introduced the gray-robed old man.
"Patriarch Barton, Master Narondo, Aragorn is injured and unable to get up to salute, please forgive me!" Liang Ke turned sideways slightly, nodding to the two dwarves' leaders.
"Hahaha! The Aragonese brothers are too out-of-the-box. Not only did you generously give us the entire Mithril vein for free, but you also taught Tucker martial arts yourself, and now, as a father, it is difficult for me to defeat this boy. What's more, you have also selflessly taught us the dwarves the art of weapons with such exquisite designs and powerful attacks, so that we not only have the ability to attack from a distance, but also discover new mechanical ideas that have not been thought of in the past thousands of years, and these are of immeasurable value to the dwarves. So, what's the point of taking care of some of your minor injuries today?I just hope that the Aragonese brothers don't dislike the dwarves for their lack of materials and clumsiness!" Patriarch Barton said loudly, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he used honorifics for Liang Ke's title.
"Yes, the patriarch is right, we people claim to be the descendants of the god of work, and we think that our understanding of mechanical manufacturing should be the most profound in the entire continent, and no one has been able to surpass the level of dwarves for thousands of years. But when I saw the drawings of the Aragonese brothers with my own eyes, I realized that there was such a magical and profound idea beyond the mountains of Narondo, which really embarrassed me, an old fellow who had lived for hundreds of years!"
"Yes, yes, the High Priest was right. Zida and the other dwarves chimed in.
"Where is there a high priest who says so magical, it's just a bit of nonsense, it's not systematic. ā
"Brother Aragorn is too modest, if that's all nonsense, where are we going to put the old guys' skins?" "The Priestess of Narondo stepped forward slowly, lifted the front of his robe, and sat down on the stone pier beside the bed.
"Brother Aragorn, lie down and I'll check your injuries. The master reached out and put his hand on Liang Ke's shoulders and told Liang Ke to lie down.
Master Zida, who was standing on the side, gave Liang Ke a reassuring look and nodded to signal him to obey the arrangement of the High Priest of Naronto at ease.
Liang Ke obeyed, his whole body relaxed, and he lay flat on the granite bed. High Priest Naronto reached out and unscrewed the metal ball at the top of his staff, poured out a few drops of gray liquid from it and applied it to his right hand, which slowly seeped into the skin, and then, High Priest Naronto's right hand gradually emitted a faint blue-gray fluorescence, looking like a dream. Narondo's right hand hung five inches on Liang Ke's body, from top to bottom and from left to right, repeatedly wandering, while muttering in his mouth, constantly speaking a language that Liang Ke couldn't understand. With the movements of the high priest, a faint mist drifted out of those gray fluorescents, and the mist slowly sprinkled on the skin through the clothes, and Liang Ke felt as if a cold hand was caressing him, which made Liang Ke feel extremely uncomfortable, and his body trembled from time to time.
After a quarter of an hour, the High Priest of Naronto stopped, got up and took the towel handed over by the guard, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his face, and looked at Liang Ke and frowned slightly.
"High Priestess, how are our friends doing?" asked Patriarch Barton with concern.
"This ...... It was a shocking thing that the Aragonese brothers' injuries and damaged organs were recovering quite quickly, and at such a rate of recovery, it would not be long before they could jump from the sky again. Hahaha!"
"Thank you High Priest for bothering!" Although Liang Ke didn't know what Narunto was doing to him just now, when the chill slowly subsided from his body, his body obviously felt much more comfortable, and the pain on his body was much less, he knew that this eerie-looking old man was helping him recover from his injuries, and when he looked at the old man, he always felt that the ash was also warm.
"Thank you for what I'm doing, I didn't help much, your Demon Beast physique basically doesn't need external treatment, because the effect of any external force drug treatment, except for making you feel more comfortable, can't catch up with your own recovery speed. What an amazing guy!"
"I'll just say, the Aragonese brothers are no ordinary people, and they are full of incredible light. Patriarch, High Priest of Narondo, let's let the Aragonese brothers rest more, and when he is well, we can slowly study the magical things on him. Haha!" said old Zida and retreated to the door.
"Okay, Brother Aragorn, get well quickly, my stupid boy is still waiting for you to teach him! ā
"Rest well! Tucker will always take care of you, if you need anything, just tell him, and we won't bother. After speaking, Patriarch Barton, High Priest of Narondo, Old Zida and others took their leave one after another and left the small stone house where Liang Ke lived.
