- I will carry him to the top of the tree, the dense foliage should provide us with some shelter.

- Although there were ghosts in the fortress, the sound was so real that I couldn't tell if it was a living person or a ghost.

-Suddenly, I felt the temperature drop suddenly, and I could feel the breath being frozen. I glanced at John next to me, and he gritted his teeth.

- The neat shouts got closer and closer, and in a moment they turned into roars and slashes. The sound of weapons clashing, the sound of shields, and even explosions. Of course, all kinds of screams are endless.

- The sound was so close to us, but we couldn't see anything in the fog, and there was an explosion but no fire.

- "Could it be a ghost?" "I forced myself not to fight, but the temperature around me was really low at this point!

- John just nodded, and his rapid breathing told me that he was very cold at this time. But I can't help him, I'm a little overwhelmed.

……

- Lasted for a while, maybe an hour? I don't know, but it's been a long time.

……

-Hold on, because there is not only one direction where there is a fight, there is all around, but you can't see anything.

- And you may not know anything about the cold!

……

-No! Cold, the opposite of heat, is still enough to torment people. Goosebumps are just the initial reaction, and the temperature on your skin is quickly lost. This is followed by the constriction of blood vessels in your epidermis and the involuntary tension of your muscles. You don't feel irritable, because at this time you can't get irritable at all, at most you will feel sad, painful, pitiful, helpless.

- Regardless of whether the temperature is 20 degrees lower than your body temperature or more, when the body loses temperature to a certain extent, some people will feel dizzy, confused, and want to fall asleep, and some will gradually hallucinate.

- Have you ever experienced that kind of cold?

……

-Hum...... I hope you never go through it.

- That pain is more brutal than whipping you. There is no way to avoid it, it continues, the pain of the cold, it feels like the nose, ears and fingers are going to fall off and be frostbitten and then necrotic, but there is no way! If you haven't experienced this kind of feeling, just listen to me, maybe it's nothing, only if you have experienced that kind of pain yourself, you know that the feeling is the same as your whole body being scalded by boiling water, or worse.

……

- At this time, one is to look at perseverance, and the other is to look at physical fitness. It was really low, I don't know if it was freezing, but I was already feeling a little confused.

- Although the battle lasted for a long time, the sound suddenly stopped!

- That's not an illusion, I'm sure it's not an illusion. It just came to an abrupt end! All of a sudden, there was no sound at all, as if nothing had happened.

-But the temperature didn't go up, and I glared hard and prepared to slide slowly down the tree. But just then, another horse came running in our direction. I didn't hear the mount's breathing, only the sound of hooves rubbing against the armor.

-I looked at John, oh...... He seemed to be frozen, still in that position, but his eyes were closed. I glanced down, and saw the dwarf cavalry riding a war sheep slowly near the tree.

-By this time, my hands were already stiff, and I felt that it was difficult to throw the axe out of my hand, not to mention whether I could draw the bow or not.

- And luckily, the guy didn't look up at the tree. I could only see its general appearance, but not its face at all.

- But one thing is for sure, I don't really feel the slightest bit of anger in this thing.

……

-What can I say about that feeling, the feeling that a living creature emits is different from that of a dead thing. And this thing makes a sound, but it feels weird.

- Is it a hallucination? Anyway, I think I was awake at the time, and I even asked myself several times if it was a hallucination. Probably not......

……

- And then it went!

-It circled around and then slowly disappeared into the fog in the distance. Seeing this, I quickly grabbed John's face and twisted him hard. Tight skin and hard muscles!

……

- Of course he lived. I tried hard to wake him up, even to the point of smacking him in the face. The tree was so tall that I couldn't push him straight down from it.

- Pinch his lips hard, slap his face, twist, hammer.

- When I wondered if he was just freezing to death, his head moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes with difficulty.

- This guy really scared me just now, I don't want him to die! He finally woke up.

- "Those ghosts are gone! I said when he was relieved.

- "Ghosts don't disappear. Suddenly, he said this. Inexplicably, I'm more worried about whether he is controlled by something, or something wrong with his brain.

- "Don't fucking talk nonsense, you seem to be freezing to death. "I said." Are you frozen? ”

- "Nope. He didn't even admit it.

- "Although you won't blush at this time, I am not blind about what you look like. I said.

- He did not slip from a tree, almost fell.

……

- He paused for a moment to say that his arm was almost unconscious. He climbed down two branches, and then suddenly missed it, and fell straight from the tree. If it weren't for a few branches blocking him a few times, I guess he would have choked on this fall.

-I hurried over to see him, probably because he was frozen, so I didn't feel that much pain at the time, but after a while, he screamed that it hurt, and then I saw that my skin was bruised.

-I wanted to start a fire, but before I could find the firewood, I could clearly feel the temperature around me gradually rising, and I soon felt warm.

- Although the temperature rose, we still made a fire, and in the flickering light of the fire, I quickly fell asleep in a daze. When the sunlight penetrated the fog and hit the two of us, I felt that the temperature of our whole body slowly eased.

- It's a bad feeling.

-After getting a little more comfortable, we quickly left the hellish place. But it was not long before the two of us walked far, and the feeling that came from our feet told me that I probably encountered a ghost last night.

-There were a lot of dry bones in the grass, the thick but not very long bones were easy to identify, and some of them had feet. This look is the bones of a dwarf. And the large number of damaged weapons shows that this was once a battlefield.

- "May they rest in peace soon. There was not a hint of banter in John's tone, and he said it a little seriously and a little sadly. Perhaps this is the true expression of the warrior's heart.

-I was sure I was far away from that place when it was dark again, but I was still worried about something coming up again at night. After all, it was a cloudy day, and the fog was completely directionless. If it weren't for the remnants of the road on the ground, the decaying signs, and the few signs and stone signs, we wouldn't know where we would have got.

……

- You can't go wrong with these east-west directions. It's much better than in the wilderness where no one has ever seen it.

……

- Of course will look for directions, otherwise it is not possible to get there. It's just that occasionally it goes wrong.

- After two more days of traveling, we crossed many valleys and finally got blocked by a fortress in front of us.

- The fortress was built between two mountains, so to speak, it was the entrance to a valley. The word fortress may not be very accurate, it should be called pass. Well, passes!

- The pass is actually very large, although it is overgrown with moss and weeds, and this scene has not been estimated for decades.

-Actually, I was a little stunned when I saw this scene, and the ghosts I met a few days ago really made me feel a little unhappy. For the first time, I felt a sense of disgust with these ruins.

……

- That's just your imagination, kid. You think of treasures, but those things weren't worth mentioning at the time. I don't think about gold or silver or anything like that. Maybe it's because of a different starting point.

……

- The treasure of the fart, that place......

-If it weren't for the fact that it has been ravaged by the years, I guess it would have been a bit difficult to climb up.

……

- The door is closed, of course. Do you think the doors are always open and they welcome you? No, no, no, although the grass in front of the door is hopefully submerged, the door is really well preserved.

- At least my axe can't do any damage to it.

- Climb up, only climb up. Of course, I climbed first, and then I dragged him up.

……

- It's as simple as you think, the people who build the pass have better brains than yours, and they will build it steep enough to connect the two sides of the valley.

……

- I'm good at rock climbing, this kind of place is not a big problem for me. John was almost exhausted, and I dragged him up at the end. The rope was found from there, and it was also black and weird. And it's full of bats.

……

- Hmph, I'm not in the mood to look at it, how can I be in the mood to wander around this black rumbling place, and the sound of rustling inside makes people feel very uncomfortable. And I'm not here to hunt for treasure.

……

- No ghosts were found here, at least no anomalies were found when we walked through. In fact, I often imagine that I have a power that can rush through this place like a cannonball, and the smell is so terrible.

……

- How did you get out...... That's how I slowly groped it out. There is no good way.

……

-What? What can the inside of a fortress look like? This is not the official residence of the royal palace. Besides, I don't have any mood to take a good look at what it looks like.

-When I finally found the exit, I was actually surprised. The fortress is tall, and in front of it is a huge clearing.

……

- I really didn't know why I wanted to build such a large open space.

- now knows. An aerial passage was built between the fortress and the city wall in front of it, but the passage had broken down.

-Seeing that we couldn't walk from above, it took us a long time to finally turn to the bottom, and when I came to the clearing below, I turned my head and looked at it, and I really shuddered. Not only because of the high walls, but also because of the high walls, I found that this clearing was like a slaughterhouse. It seems that the dwarves are not much worse than the humans.

-I thought there would be dry bones in the grass, but I didn't. At this point, my only thought was to quickly climb over the wall in front of me and get out of here. By the time I was up there, I had seen the marshes of the north.

……

- No, nothing happened. Nothing. They seemed to take everything they could. Not a single piece of armor, including weapons, was seen.

-We climbed down from the city, and I don't know if the gate was rusted or if it was like that, but we didn't push the winch in ten positions anyway.

- Walking through this land has nothing to remember except for feeling depressing, dreary, terrifying. Then again, what's there to remember about those things?
