Chapter 55: Frost Cliff
Leaving the Titans' outpost, Rog, Murphy, and Catherine head west to Frost Bluffs, the lair of the ice phoenix Phoenix.
Before leaving, Rog handed the frozen Lilith to Tali, who asked the lamp god to build a vigorous bonfire and placed ice cubes next to the campfire, although he could not melt the ice, but still hoped to bring a little hope of life to the little one.
Originally, Rog was going to go to Frost Bluff alone, but Murphy and Catherine insisted on going together, especially Catherine, who had always been grateful to Lilith, and hoped that she could do her part to save the poor bird.
When the three of them came to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, where the Frost Cliff was located, it was already completely dark, Rogge looked up at the towering mountain in front of him, silently lit a cigar, and resolutely took the first step.
The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the colder the air becomes, and the flying snowflakes surround the Phoenix Mountain, increasing by one point with each step you climb, and the howling cold wind makes the temperature around you plummet, and the hair and eyebrows of the three of them are condensed with thick frost.
"Wear this, or you'll be frozen!"
Murphy took off the blue and white fleece cotton robe from her body and wrapped it around Catherine, the girl refused at first, but she couldn't resist Murphy's insistence and the invasion of the extremely cold weather, so she had to agree.
Murphy looked up at the back of Rogge in front of him, wearing the tattered black robe, his torn trouser legs exposed his knees, and the clothes on his body were almost better than nothing in terms of keeping out the cold, but he did not show the slightest chill, and hurried towards the top of the mountain.
"This guy is like a monster. Murphy muttered to himself, and Catherine, who was on the side, squinted her eyes to avoid the wind and snow, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"It's nothing, let's go!" Murphy pulled Catherine, and the two quickened their pace to catch up with Rog in front of them, and when they finally reached the top of the hill out of breath, they saw Rogge standing in front of a tall cavern, his eyes staring at the dark cavern.
"Is this it?" Murphy took Catherine behind Rogge, who nodded slightly, and glanced back at Murphy's thin clothes, his face, ears, and nose were red from the cold, and his whole body shivered slightly in the cold wind.
"Are you alright? don't force it, brother!" he asked with concern.
"I'm not going to back down when we're here!let's go inside!" Murphy replied with a snort.
"Thank you!" Rogge looked at Murphy and Catherine's resolute expressions gratefully, and walked into the cave with a silver sword in his hand, followed by Murphy and Catherine, leaving behind the cold wind and snow.
The cave was pitch black, and Murphy and Catherine couldn't see the road around them, but the silver sword in Rogge's hand shone brightly, alerting its owner to the presence of powerful creatures nearby.
The silver light emitted by the sword body illuminated the cave, and the three of them saw that the four walls of the cave were covered with crystal clear ice, like a temple made of crystal, and the light of the silver sword became brighter and brighter as the cave deepened, and the mood of the three became more and more nervous as the light grew.
Suddenly, Rog stopped, crouched down and picked something up from the ground, and when Murphy and Catherine leaned in from both sides to look at it, they found that it was actually a black hair.
"How can there be human hair here?" Murphy and Catherine looked at each other, their gaze falling on Rog's face.
Rogge pondered for a moment and said, "The Titan said that someone once smashed the Ice Phoenix's egg with a boulder, causing the Ice Phoenix to become angry with the Titan, and this must have been left by that person. ”
He glanced down at the length of his hair and said, "Such short hair must have been left by a man, the titan said that the High Mage can manipulate the boulder to fly, so this person's magic must be no less than Tali's, and there is only one known suspect at the moment......"
"It's William the Bloody Hand!" said Catherine first.
"Judging from the current situation, he is the only suspect, and that guy wants to stir up the conflict between the Ice Phoenix and the Titans and take advantage of the fisherman. Rogge stared at the hair in his hand and analyzed.
He threw the hair away, looked up at the two of them, and said, "We need to be careful, that guy is probably still around, and he hasn't achieved his goal yet." ”
With Rogge in front of the sword, Catherine following with her twin guns, and Murphy clutching her scimitar, the three of them cautiously walked through the cave and soon reached the entrance of the cave where the wind and snow were flying.
Rogge leaned against the wall of the cave entrance and looked out, and saw a huge phoenix egg lying quietly on the ice crystal altar in the center of the cliff on the cliff cliff with three phoenix tails wrapped around the outside of the phoenix egg, and the crystal clear tail feathers on it shone dazzlingly in the night.
"It seems to be asleep, you wait here, I'll go first!"
Rogge stepped on the cigarette butt of the cigar and quietly walked out of the hole, walking in the direction of the phoenix egg, where Catherine and Murphy hid, and the girl clenched the handcuff in her hand, ready to shoot.
Rogge tiptoed close to the phoenix egg, carefully stretched out his left hand, gently touched the ice tail feathers on the phoenix's tail, and quickly withdrew his hand, and the phoenix egg lay quietly in place, without any reaction.
He stretched out his left hand again, grabbed a slender tail feather condensed with ice crystals on his tail, looked up at the phoenix egg, struggled to pull the tail feather off, turned around and was about to evacuate in the direction of the cave, when a boulder flew in the sky and smashed his head into Rogge.
Rog rolled on his side to avoid the falling flying stone, and the stone swept past him, smashing heavily on the surface of the phoenix egg, accompanied by a long roar of rage, the ice phoenix burst out of its shell in a burst of blue light, spread its wings and soared into the air.
"Hell!" Rog jumped up from the ground and ran towards the entrance of the cave, the ice phoenix behind him let out an angry scream, and his eyes shot two silvery-white rays of light, leaving two thick lines of ice in the place where the beam passed.
Rogge rushed towards the entrance of the cave at lightning speed, the ice beam followed the weather and quickly froze the ground, Catherine at the entrance of the cave leaned out, raised her twin guns and fired several shots at the ice phoenix in the sky, and the silver bullets hit the ice phoenix in the head.
Taking advantage of the disturbance of the ice phoenix, Rog swept past Catherine like a whirlwind and pulled her away from the hole, and the ice beam followed the weather to hit the spot where Catherine had fired, but it was empty.
"We've got it, let's go!"
Rogge stopped, walked through the cave with Murphy and Catherine, and rushed out of the cave when he came, but the figure of the ice phoenix suddenly fell from the sky, and the ice wings shook and set off a gust of cold wind, blowing the three of them to the ground.
"You filthy thieves, I'm going to freeze you here forever, and don't want to escape from here!" The ice phoenix's huge body landed in front of the three of them, its huge claws slamming into the ground, and its two eyes once again emitted a deadly beam.
Rog got up from the ground with a backward roll, dragged Catherine from the ground into his arms, and pushed her towards Murphy, while taking a silver gun from her waist, and the gunshots rang out, and the silver bullets sparkled the hard ice feathers on the surface of the ice phoenix's body.
Annoyed, the Ice Phoenix turned around and aimed at Rog, and Murphy took the opportunity to hide in the cave with Catherine, who dodged several shots from the Ice Phoenix at lightning speed, and turned and ran towards Murphy and Catherine.
"You have no way to escape!" the Ice Phoenix roared in a gloomy voice.
A sharp ice spear suddenly rose from the ground in front of the three of them, rising into the sky and plunging into the roof of the cave, blocking the path of the three of them like a prison door.
Rogge and the others rushed to the ice cage and slashed the ice spear in front of them with their swords, and the shaft of the spear was not only not shattered, but covered their weapons with a layer of frost.
"Accept death, this is your own punishment!"
The Ice Phoenix's angry voice came from behind him, and Rog looked back to see the Ice Phoenix's head sticking out of the hole, two hateful eyes glaring at them, and a cold white light flashed in their eyes again.
