Daisetsuzan Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I don't know how many years have passed, the snowy mountains are still so cold, the continuous towering peaks of the forbidden land for humans, even in the prosperity of magic now, no magician can crack the mystery of the snowy mountain, it seems to be the ancient god once left in the world of the magic circle, there are many altars in the mountain, engraved with runes that cannot be distinguished. Between the mountains and ravines, you can clearly feel the strong aura of demonic beasts, I don't know how many high-level demonic beasts live here, they are like the guards of the Great Snow Mountain, guarding the ancient forbidden land day after day, year after year.
Legend has it that the end of the Great Snow Mountain is the gateway to the other world, and human technology is constantly advancing, even if one day it will crack this gate and open the way to the other world.
There is also another theory, there are countless treasures buried in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, its wealth is comparable to everything in this continent, there are countless gold and silver, there are countless crystal mines and magic springs, and even the extremely rare holy gold mines in the continent are also extremely rich in reserves.
For this reason, many treasure hunters and mercenary groups have been suspected of going to the Great Snow Mountain in an attempt to obtain the treasure of the Great Snow Mountain, and in the end none of them survived.
There are all kinds of rumors, people are not good, most of them are human beings' self-pity, the unknown of the mysterious snowy mountains has made them have never given up the pursuit, continental historians, geologists, biologists, monsters, theologians and many other scholars have discussed for thousands of years, and still have not come to a complete conclusion.
Four hundred years ago, the Dick Kingdom promulgated a law prohibiting humans from approaching the Great Snow Mountain, and all human beings who entered and left the Great Snow Mountain, regardless of their status, were to be executed for treason.
As a result, there are many fewer human beings who kill themselves.
For hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Dick had occupied the frozen tundra and snowy mountains, and the only Far Eastern Empire that could compete with the Kingdom of Dick did not seem to be interested in this area. For nearly a hundred years, the Far Eastern Empire has focused all its energy on cultivating a large number of magicians, establishing magic guilds, and searching for traces of dragons.
It seems that the future magic apostle is still walking on the road of the Great Snow Mountain.
The wind and snow blew Sido's hair white, his physical condition looked poor, the demonization function did not completely retreat, and half of his body retained the demonized form, and it was precisely because of this that on the way to follow Kulo, he had enough strength to repel the demonic beasts that stood in front of him.
One of his pupils was pitch black, the other was blood-red from demonization, hardened bones covered his waist, new bone spurs were extremely sharp, and his blood-stained right hand had several deep wounds that could be seen in the bone.
In front of him, there is a snow-capped mountain thousands of meters high, there are many such mountains behind, and the aura of Kulo has been spreading far away, and the demonic beasts with high intelligence will never appear in the breath of Kulo, they hate and avoid the breath of Kulo - any living creature will hate the breath of death.
The half-demonized Sido gradually stopped.
A silver-white python blocked his way, and the python spat out letters, apparently seeing the boy in front of him as his prey.
This is a third-order demonic beast, judging from the demonic patterns that it has begun to grow, it is possible that this demonic beast will advance to a fourth-order demonic beast in hundreds of years, of course, this process will undergo a metamorphosis, constantly devouring other weak demonic beasts.
Sido's body moved, and the speed was like lightning, and he instantly came to the giant python.
Poof!
The ground was scattered with the flesh and blood of the demonic beast, and the speed of this blow was extremely fast, and the giant python, which was a third-order demonic beast, couldn't react, and by the time it could see the young man in front of it clearly, the head had been cut off by sharp claws, and a large piece of snake blood gushed out from the wound, and it quickly stained the snow red.
The killing is decisive and the attack is ruthless.
This is the reason why humans are afraid of demons, a race that treats life as nothing, cold-blooded and cruel, and has no feelings. Among all the human beings who meet with demons, very few people can survive, this race is too powerful, they are born with a strong recovery ability, and they have the same strength as humans who have cultivated for decades, the only deficiency is lifespan, when the creator god created the demon, he put it in the same position as the human being, so most of the demons' lifespan is less than a hundred years, and when they are old, their strength will be greatly weakened.
The demons are the descendants of demons, and they have more or less some demonic bloodline and have inherited a little power.
The night grew from light to dark, and the light faded away.
The sound of the wind, the snow, a line of shallow footprints, I don't know how far I have walked and how high I have climbed. Sido looked into the distance, and he followed the breath left by Kulo for a day and a night, and was now on a hill. The cold wind eroded his body, and the demonic bloodline provided a faint warmth, ensuring that his body would not freeze.
Ahead, large flakes of snow melt here, the heat is steaming, and a certain heat prompts the cold to disappear quickly, there will be no geothermal lakes on the snowy mountains, let alone fire-based demonic beasts, and the only heat that can have this kind of heat is some kind of hot liquid overflowing from the mountain-magma.
Sido walked over and saw clearly, it turned out to be a volcanic crater, the magma in it was still churning, and the bones of many creatures could be seen around the crater, including monsters and humans, and it was not difficult to see that this was once a burial ground.
Sido walked through the bone-buried ground, the heat of the crater melted the snow in his hair, and the cold wind blew again, and there was an inexplicable chill.
Click-click--
A strange sound sounded behind him, and the young man's body was stunned, and when he turned around, the bones all over the ground burned, and the bones continued to shatter in the flames, and a faint blue phosphorus fire came out...... The flames grew higher and higher, and soon a wall of fire was formed, blocking the boy's way back.
Serpentine flames climbed the ground and struck westward like living creatures.
Sido dodged the rushing flames sideways, and the long snake turned into flames suddenly exploded in the air, burning violently, and Sido was blown backwards by this force, and almost crashed into the wall of fire.
There is a powerful force nearby, Sido can feel the magic fluctuating in the air, and the person who is stealth in the darkness and manipulates the flames seems to have some special ability to hide his breath from the undetectable.
Immediately afterward, several more fiery snakes crawled out of the wall of fire, and a fiery wolf ran out of the wall howling, and the huge flaming bird flapped its wings and wandered in the sky, turning into a flame and rushing towards Sido.
The flames scorched, and many fire-type creatures exploded in front of the boy.
Sido used half of his demonized body to resist the impact of the flames, and wave after wave of flames exploded around him, and the demonized right hand was actually wounded by the flames, and the hardened bones gradually showed signs of crumbling.
Sido jerked out of the way, opened his mouth, and spat out a black flame.
How the flames of the mortal world fought against the fire of demons, in just an instant, many flame-based creatures exploded one by one.
Someone in the darkness curled the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.
"Some small things are really not enough to see, but in this case, what about that?" The fire elementals quickly gathered in the darkness, and in an instant, a large area of fire light illuminated the entire crater, and the red-clothed woman in the flames floated in the sky, and the crimson elemental core in her hand was flicked slightly by her fingers and fell.
A trace of stellar flames, at the moment of falling to the ground, frantically devoured the flames on the ground, countless flames poured towards the flame as if obeying the monarch, the wall of fire several people high disappeared in an instant, replaced by a huge polymer, its body was lit with flames, lava continued to drip down, the body of the polymer became higher and higher, bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a flame giant nearly thirty meters high.
Firefiend.
The waves of fire were churning, and the woman in red sat on the shoulder of the flame demon, and a smile appeared on her bright red lips: "Coming to entertain my guests like this is the meaning of the existence of the flame envoy." ”
The half-demonized Sido felt the powerful power, and his body began to further demonize, and the bloodline was about to control him, and he was too weak to control this power...... More demonic fire sparked around his body, and black, hardened bones quickly spread all around him.
Danger is coming!
The flame demon spat out a flame nearly three meters thick from his mouth, and arrived in front of Sido in a gasp, and the demonized body didn't have time to resist any more before rolling into the flames...... The scorching flames and lava quickly melted Sido's hardened bones, beginning to scorch his skin, flesh, and the boy's mouth let out a beastly wail......
"Aretheia, stop. ”
A heavy voice came from a distance, and the flames made Elthea squint slightly, and withdrew the power attached to the fire demon, and after losing the power of his master, the fire demon quickly collapsed, turned into a pile of flames again, and disappeared out of thin air.
The charred body rolled out in the flames, Sido's whole body was charred black, his skin festered, and most of his chest was burned by lava, but fortunately, the demonic power was still surging, the charred skin receded little by little, bones and flesh quickly grew out, and the wounds began to heal little by little......
"Irehia, bring him to me. ”
"Yes, my master," the flame envoy bowed slightly to the north, "and everything is up to you. ”
