Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Snowman's Lair
"We might as well go over and see, there are often desperate ways to survive in dangerous places!"
Rog strode ahead, Catherine took off her silver handcuff and followed, walking lightly along the straight cavern, and after walking for a while, Rog suddenly reached back and pressed her shoulder.
Catherine was shocked, and subconsciously stopped and retreated, but was tightly pressed by Rogge's shoulder, only to hear him turn around and say: "Shhh
He pressed his body against the wall and pulled Catherine to his side, and the two of them looked out of the cave entrance, only to see a large eerie cavern, the floor and walls covered with crystal clear white crystals, emitting a faint light.
Some long-haired white monsters roamed freely in the caves, or slept on their stomachs, and from time to time there were bursts of low roars.
"What are these?" Catherine looked at the big, hideous-looking, fat-bodied creatures in surprise, and Rogge stared at them for a moment and said, "I haven't seen them either, but I guess this is the legendary snowman." ”
"Is it a snowman built on the side of the road when it's snowing?" asked Rogge, looking back in surprise.
Rogge was about to answer, when he suddenly felt the little owl above his head shake violently, he frowned and took off his hat, and saw the little furball with two little paws in the sky, holding his stomach and lying on the top of the hat with a silent dumb laugh.
"Little villain, stop making trouble, maybe I should show the snowman what you look like now!"
Rogge poked the little owl's belly with his finger, and the little guy turned over with a "rub", re-lying in place, and said seriously: "Why did you bring such a stupid girl with you, the IQ of our entire team was lowered by her!"
Catherine glared at her in embarrassment and chagrin when she heard the little owl taunt herself.
Rogge flicked the little furball with his fingers, put his hat back on, looked back at Catherine's embarrassed appearance, and said, "Don't pay attention to that little villain, when I say snowman, I mean a monster on the snow field that lives all year round, not a dummy made of snow." ”
"I see, what do we do now?" Catherine glanced into the cave, where there were a dozen snowmen in motion, all fat and strong, and it was even more difficult to pass through without alarming them.
"Now I have to move forward, Antonio is a delicate guy, I don't want to go back and be stuck in the valley outside the cave by him. Rogge said.
He untied a bag of magic food from his body, poured out the cube-shaped food from the small cloth bag, and crushed them into as small pieces as possible.
He put the rations back into the bag, then tied the mouth of the bag into a finger-thick mouth, then grabbed Lilith from her head, held the bag in one hand and the little furball in the other, and said, "Hey, little witch, I have a good job for you to do!"
"A good job in your mouth must be a bad job that could cost you your life!" said the little owl, staring at Rogge with big round eyes, with a look of distrust.
"At least you haven't died for the mission. ”
Rogge sent the bag to her and said, "Throw these dry rations into the hole, I see two forks in the road on the opposite side, find one at random and fly in, scatter the grain in the bag, and then fly away, understand?"
"Do you mean that if I don't fly away, I'll be eaten by the snowmen as dry food?" Lilith asked, glancing at the bag of dry food beside her, pouting her little beak at Rogge.
"I can't rule out this possibility, especially since you're still a pretty and cute little girl, and I've heard that snowmen like to captive cute little girls the most!"
Rogge winked at her with a smile, and the little owl snorted arrogantly, grabbed the bag with its blood-red claws, flapped its wings and flew into the hole.
Rog and Catherine hid at the entrance of the cave and watched as she spilled bags of dry food into the cave all the way through the cave to a hole on the opposite side.
The rich aroma of the magic food attracted the surrounding snowmen, who let out a low roar and dragged their fat bodies from the ground to the scattered dry food.
Following the dry food spilled by the owls along the way, the snowmen gradually left the cave where they lived and entered the narrow passage on the left, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
Seeing that the time had come, Rog grabbed Catherine and rushed out of the cave, through the cave into the passage on the right, where he stopped to meet Lilith.
"Lilith can't have an accident alone, right?" Catherine looked back at the hole behind her, remembering the huge snowman team just now, and was a little worried about the safety of the little owls.
"The only thing that could happen to that little guy is that she might be tempted to grab the food from the snowman and then get caught and eaten by the snowman......" Rogge quipped unhurriedly.
Before he could finish speaking, the little owl flew in silently from outside the hole, landed on Rogge's hat and said, "I heard it just now, someone is saying bad things about me!"
"Did I hear that?" Rog grimaced at Catherine, turned and continued walking towards the cave, Catherine couldn't help but follow Rogge, and the two walked along the dark cavern for a while, when they suddenly heard a heavy snoring in front of them.
"This ...... What is this thing?"
The three of them stood at the exit at the end of the cave, looking at the behemoth outside the cave, it was about five meters tall, covered with long white hair like an ordinary snowman, fat like a hill, lying in the center of the cave and sleeping.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the Yeti King. Rogge turned around, leaned back against the wall, pondered for a moment, and said, "How did we come down this path, it's clearly a misguided path!"
"It's you leading the way...... Catherine said as she looked at Rogge innocently.
"It was Lilith who led the other snowmen to the left path, which is why I chose this path!" Rog said, grabbing the owl from her head and staring at her with a serious expression.
"You told me to take any path, and you didn't tell me there was this thing here!" Lilith glared at him unconvinced.
Rogge stared at her dumbly for a moment, then put her back on his hat and said casually, "It's nothing, I'll just ask, let's discuss more important topics, such as - how did you get over?"
"It's sleeping, and we can sneak past it!" said Catherine, smiling, pointing to the veiled snoring Yeti King outside the hole.
"Sounds like a good idea, but this time we need to do a good reconnaissance first, lest we get around this 'hill' and find that there is no way to go on the other side!"
Rog took Lilith off his head again and said, "Go scout, little witch, it's your job!"
"Nasty, why is it always mine to do my job?" Lilith muttered unhappily, but was thrown into the hole by Rog with a pat on her hairy little ass.
She hurriedly flapped her wings to stabilize herself, glared back at Rogge, turned and flew above the Yeti King, circled around the big man, and then continued to fly forward, finding a huge passage five or six meters high on the other side of the cave.
"Looks like this is supposed to be the passage for the Yeti King. ”
Thinking to herself, Lilith slipped headlong into the passage, and she flew out against the top of the passage, and soon felt a strong air current blowing towards the cave in front of her, and with the natural sensitivity of birds, she realized that the exit must be not far away.
Sure enough, turning a corner, she vaguely saw a hole, and since it was still dark outside the cave, no light came in, and Lilith flew out of the hole to see that it was located under a hillside, and the hole was half hidden by snow-covered shrubs.
"I'm obviously an incomparably good guide!" the little furball landed on a piece of snow, took a few mouthfuls of snow to moisten his throat, turned around and flew back to the cave.
In the passage of the cave, Rog and Catherine had been waiting for Lilith's return, and when they finally saw Lilith's figure, they were relieved.
The little owl flew slowly in front of the Yeti King, and flew head-on towards Rogge, and the surrounding air flow was chaotic, and a roar came from behind her: "There is the smell of food, something has broken into my palace!"
