The eagle shield blocked the smashed bone stick, and the long sword flowed upstreams from the opponent's exposed empty door, and the cold blade carried the bright red and hot blood, leaving a sharp arc in the air.

Seeing that his opponent had fallen, the master of the sword turned his head and began to look for a new target, his eyes wandering around, but no new hilichurl dared to approach him.

"Smoke!"

"The smoke is rising." The tall and mighty knight spotted a pillar of gray smoke rising from the gap in the canopy.

"Hey~! Timmy, this kid is pretty good. The dwarf knight let out a white breath and raised his shield against the two smashing clubs, apparently the hilichurls thought he was a better target.

"your ugly thing, you think I'm short and easy to bully, right?! Drink ~~~~~~! The dwarf knight slammed into the two hilichurls like an angry bull, and the two hilichurls were rolled over one after the other, and he saw the opportunity to the vulture's shield, and kicked one of them away with a raised leg, and the metal bent shin kicked the hilichurl in the abdomen, making a crisp sound of fractures.

The long sword in his right hand drew a folded line, and the blade of the sword spat out from the bottom to the top like a snake letter, and the cold blade pierced into the soft skin of the neck, and continued to penetrate. Hot blood poured out of the blood groove on the sword's spine, and white heat escaped in the icy air.

"If it weren't for the confidence in him, I wouldn't have given him this task." Timar shook the short sword in his hand, and the blade was connected with a whip-like royal blue stream, with the shaking of the short sword, the beautiful arc of the water swinging in the air, like a real whip, pumped towards the hilichurl warrior on the opposite side, the skin and muscles hit by the water instantly cracked, and the bright red blood burst out, as if it had been cut by the blade.

The hilichurl warrior was visibly stronger than Tima's, and he was panting heavily, and the white heat rising from the mask was as thick as the boiling water in a pot.

Even the surface of his naked upper body was rising with white mist.

At this moment, the wooden handle of the double-edged giant axe he held and the surface of his right arm were condensed with a thin layer of ice shell, and the palm of his hand kept slipping on the frozen wooden handle, and he couldn't hold it firmly at all.

The battle between it and Tima was not so much a battle with the human knights, but more of a battle between himself and the ice on the axe's handle, and every time he was about to slash, the axe handle would slip, causing the axe to be greatly reduced, not to mention how much the head was crooked.

In contrast to his own grievances, on the other hand, the human knight with a broken leg on the other side was so relaxed that he seemed to be just playing with the cub.

The hilichurl roared angrily, and the loud sound shook the snow from the canopy, covering the faces of the people fighting in the woods.

"If you can't beat it, you'll roar, what other skills do you have as a big guy?" Tima didn't care if the other party understood it or not, she just threw out the taunt according to her habit.

The roar of the hilichurl warrior on the opposite side was not without effect, and soon another tall figure joined the battlefield, it was not like the giant axe warrior with dark skin and bare upper body, but was draped in thick snow-white animal fur, the unwrapped skin had a blue-white color close to ice and snow, and the huge shield in its hand was condensed with a thick layer of ice.

"Oops." Two voices rang out at the same time.

"They're running for Timmy!" The tall and thin knight added.

"We're still too few in number, and there's only a limit to the number of hilichurls we can hold."

There are already a dozen ordinary hilichurls who have been put down by the knight team in the field, but the number of hilichurls around the battlefield is still increasing, and trying to deal with them for a while is obviously just wishful thinking.

"The hilichurls chasing Timmy have a shooter among them, and he would be the best target if he escaped along the path." The tall knight said loudly, he was quickly entangled by the three hilichurls who had been idle before, and with his instincts, he instantly raised his left arm.

Bite~!

A crude crossbow bolt was blocked by the metal shield held in his left hand, and the arrow burst out of several sparks, and the bolt swirled and flew away.

"Wow, put the cold arrows on the offal." He spat and began to grapple with the three hilichurls. "It seems that not only over there, but we also have a lot of shooters here."

"Fleeing along the woods beside the cliff in the direction of the icewater river should be able to escape the hilichurls. Next, as long as he jumps into the river and goes down the river, he will have a chance to reach safety faster. ”

"The waterhole below that waterfall really cushions the impact of the fall. But even if it's us, falling from such a high place will fall half to death, can this little guy Timmy really hold on? The short knight spoke as he fought.

"I'm more worried about whether the waterhole under the waterfall will freeze this season. After all, the water is already cold in the summer. The knight of ordinary stature, who had been fighting silently, joined in.

Tima silently circled with the two hilichurl warriors, and said in the interval between breaths.

"Pray for the blessing of the wind god."

"Whether it's him or us."

The whip made of water is firmly blocked by the ice shield, and the water element attached to the surface of the shield when the whip is struck will be frozen by the ice, which will increase the thickness of the ice shield.

The slashing effect inflicted by the water flow becomes useless when faced with the Great Shield.

In the face of the new shield-wielding warriors who joined the battle, Tima no longer had the same ease and calmness as before, and under the siege of him and the giant axe warriors, the situation on Tima's side was reversed, and it was already in a bitter battle.

In the midst of the battle between the people and the hilichurls that were outnumbered before, a banner made of whole animal skins appeared on the edge of the battlefield with a long wooden pole propped up.

Two huge square wooden towers and shields stood in front of the flag, and through the gap between the two giant shields, a rickety figure could be seen, its old black skin sagging and falling, as if it was just a layer of clothing hanging from the skeleton around it. It carries a staff of unusual style, the tip of which is carved into a totemic statue of the hilichurls, and the middle of the staff is decorated with several brightly colored feathers and slender ribs neatly tied in series.

"Damn, it's a shaman. He was about to start dancing. The knight, who had seen the scene, shouted.

"Move outside, we move away from it. The shaman needs distance to cast spells, and before it completes the spellcasting dance, it can leave the radius. Tima pointed in a direction with the blade of her sword and responded.

The knights began to break through in the direction that Tima had pointed out, no longer bothering to discuss Timmy, who was being hunted by the hilichurls.

The other side

Drilling into the woods, Xu Yun, who fled along the edge of the cliff, dodged left and right and did quite embarrassing evasion moves. From time to time, a crossbow bolt would be nailed to the trunk of a tree behind him, and it would burst out with a heart-tugging 'duh! 'Sound.

"It would be nice if I had Wind Wings, I could jump right from here, spread the Wind Wings when I landed normally, and glide a little bit to land safely."

"But that's just thinking about it, it's not a game now, that thing doesn't even have a wing bone to support, and if I can't hold it, won't I fall into a big cake?"

There is no road on the cliff on this side of the forest, so you can only make your way through the wilderness over shrubs and knee-deep snow. He didn't dare to get too close to the edge of the cliff, in case he stepped on the air, and he didn't need to chase and kill the hilichurls again, he would have to report to Hades first.

Running along the cliff, seeing the unnatural truncated traces of trees and vegetation growing at the edge of the cliff up close, as well as a small grove of trees near the bottom of the cliff on the edge of the plain below, Xu Yun felt more intuitively the great power that tore the earth apart.

"Does this unreliable drunken poet really have such a skill?" He couldn't help but start to wonder about the unreliable cuckold man in the game.

But since there are gods in the world, no matter how magical things are, it doesn't seem surprising.

Time passed in a hurry, and the woods came to an end, leaving only snow and sparse bushes.

The sound of turbulent water came from not far ahead, the waves of the river were shining a beautiful ice blue in the sunlight, and there was a layer of white light mist floating on the surface of the river, I don't know if it was the heat of the water temperature or the ice mist that was pouring out because it was too cold.

Xu Yun couldn't care about it so much.

All he could see was an empty tidal flat of more than ten meters between the river bank and the trees, and there was not even a single shrub that was slightly taller, except for snow and weeds that might be buried under the snow.

He had to rush through the empty space of more than ten meters at full speed, and the thickness of the snow made it impossible for him to go at full speed. Now all you have to do is gamble that the hilichurl shooter won't have time to chase to the edge of the woods before he jumps into the river.

As for the ordinary hilichurls with sticks, he was not afraid, anyway, everyone couldn't run fast, and it was almost impossible for them to catch up with him in a short time.

There was no time to hesitate, and he couldn't tolerate his own hesitation, Xu Yun gritted his teeth and accelerated again, and rushed out of the woods almost heedlessly.

The snow shimmered dazzlingly white in the sun, and if it weren't for watching the river get closer and closer to him, Xu Yun couldn't tell whether he was moving forward or not.

Suddenly, the snow at the landing place was soft, and he stepped into the pit covered by the snow, because he was rushing forward at full speed, he didn't have time to adjust his center of gravity, and he instantly lost his balance, and fell into the snow in front of him, and the slightly soft snow collided with his body, smashing a large handful of snowflakes into the air.

Sou~

A crossbow bolt made of rough, slender wooden poles shot through the flying mist and landed in an arc into the snow on the other side of the river in front of them.

Xu Yun secretly said that he was lucky, and the whole person lay in the snow, trying to listen to the movement behind him while trying to move the foot that stepped into the pit.

The ankle moved from side to side, and although it hurt slightly, it was obviously not sprained, at most it flashed. He thought to himself, fortunately, his ears had caught the sound of the bushes breaking through the trees behind him.

It is estimated that the hilichurl shooter has once again loaded his crossbow bolt and is aiming for the spot where he fell.

If you want to escape, you can't just get up and run.

A simple strategy flashed through my mind in an instant.

"Sometimes simple strategies work surprisingly well, and that's what the saying goes." It wasn't that there weren't more complex and safer strategies pouring out of his mind, but Xu Yun almost instantly denied them.

The most precious thing right now is time.

He rolled in the snow, away from where he had fallen, the snow was not solid, and it was not difficult to roll in the snow, and this goal was successfully achieved. Then he grabbed a handful of snow with both hands and jerked it to the side where he had been before.

Collapse~

With a whoosh, one crossbow bolt flew from above.

Xu Yun didn't wait any longer, got up instantly, jumped out of the hiding snow pit like a rabbit, and continued to rush towards the river.

There was no second bolt, only the restless cries of hilichurls.

"Kaz Dinggou~"

"Siavi!"

"Puff ~ sun!"

But the hilichurl could not catch up with Xu Yun, who had already run with all his might, he stepped on the rough sand and rocks on the river beach, and at the moment of his jump, he turned abruptly and jumped into the river crookedly, avoiding the original forward and jumping into the river.

Before falling into the river, he turned and glanced behind him, a newly fired crossbow bolt slashing in the air a few meters away from him, heading straight for the direction he had been traveling. On the river beach, three ordinary hilichurls with sticks spread out and chased after them through the snow.

If they were willing to throw out the sticks in their hands, maybe Xu Yun would be hit.

But it's over.

Puff~!

Xu Yun fell into the clear river water with a beautiful ice blue, and the ubiquitous cold chill in the river instantly enveloped him. Fortunately, with the strength of the Relic Suit, the chill in the river was not as good as the numbness and stinging pain in the legs and feet when trekking through the ice and snow when he had not obtained the Relic Set before.

The river is not deep, he only sank less than a meter to the bottom, but because of the proximity to the waterfall, so the water flow is extremely turbulent, in order to avoid the shooting of the hilichurl, he forgot to take a breath before falling into the water, so he hurriedly kicked at the bottom of the riverbed, the whole person instantly floated up and rushed out of the water, the current rolled him down for a distance, when his head and neck rushed out of the river water package, inhaled the first breath of air, the person has been washed by the river to the edge of the waterfall.

How can the power of nature be countered by ordinary people?

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yun was wrapped in the river without any suspense and flew out from the cliffside.

A chain of silver and white flying clouds falls, thousands of dazzling rainbow bridges.

The waterfall waterfall that was wrapped in Xu Yunfei flowed straight down had already dispersed into countless fine water masses and particles when it fell in mid-air. Naturally, he was free, and with a little dance of his hands and feet, he came to the edge of this turbulent stream, and followed the force of the fall, tilting down to make a free fall.

Flying in the air, I can more intuitively feel how high the drop between the top and bottom of the cliff is, and the body falls in the air for a few seconds, only half of the height falls.

It was at this moment that he saw a few children playing with an ice cart on the river a little farther away.

This river is frozen!

"! Skinny, you pit me~~~~! Xu Yun only had time to shout this voice when the person followed the water flow of the waterfall and smashed into the small pool of jewel-blue water below.

Bang!!

Xu Yun was knocked to pieces by the impact, his ears were chaotic with the sound of popping water, he didn't feel any pain, he couldn't feel cold, his whole body was completely numb after the impact came, and he couldn't even feel that his hands and feet were still on his body.

He could only close his eyes and let the darkness swallow him.

Frozen on the river

"A man has fallen from the sky and come down!" A child on the shore seemed to hear a shout on the other side of the waterfall, turned his head to look over, and happened to see the scene of Xu Yun falling into the pool.

"Alright Adora, don't make such boring jokes."

"Your mother won't let us take you down the river to skate, so you're either going to stay on the shore and watch honestly, or you can go home and help your mother sharpen the barrels."

The boys, who were skating happily, shouted with a giggle.

"Sharpen the sticks, make the barrels, and fill a barrel of wine next year~"

"Fill a barrel, sell a barrel, and the cellar will not be empty every year~"

"Really! I didn't lie to you, he ended up in the waterhole over there. Let's go and see, and we'll find it. The children on the shore shouted.

"No, the ice is very thin over there, we're going to fall." One boy retorted

"We only looked on the shore, and we didn't say we were going to skate from here." Said the child on the shore.

"If someone falls into a cold pool, by the time you run over, you'll freeze to death."

"Ah, look, the forest above the cliff is on fire, and it's smoking!" A boy looking in the direction of the waterfall spotted a column of alarm smoke that Xu Yun had lit in the woods above the cliff.

"How can there be a wildfire in the mountains and forests in winter, there must be a special situation, and the people above are emitting smoke to warn. My dad once told me the story of the beacon. The eldest of the children turned serious in an instant, and he decisively dropped the ice cart he was sitting in and ran to the riverbank.

"I'll go and inform Dad, you go to Hantan to have a look, maybe Adora will make a meritorious contribution this time." The boy shouted as he ran.

"Alan's father is the captain of the guards, since he said so, something must have happened."

"The boss has spoken, so what are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go and have a look. ”

Alan was clearly the leader of the group, and the other boys had to stop playing, even if they didn't want to.

"Adora, you'd better not lie, or I'll sue your mother at night."

"A girl who loves to lie will not be able to marry in the future, and will become a fat woman and be captured and eaten by the hilichurls."

The children were talking babblingly, and they climbed ashore with their hands and feet and hurried to the cold pool.

Because the water of the cold pool is crystal clear, and only a thin layer of ice has formed on the side that connects the main channel of the river, when the children came to the shore, they saw Xu Yun floating in the middle of the pool at a glance.

But because the water was so cold, they didn't dare to go into the water. After several attempts to hook Xu Yun in the water with a tree branch failed, he could only squat on the shore and watch.

It wasn't long before a muscular adult man strode up at the exit of the shore path, and at a glance he saw Xu Yun floating like a dead body in the middle of the pool.

"Whose child is this? So accidentally fell into the cold pool! How many times have I told you not to come near this place to play, but you just won't listen. There is still time to be saved. ”

He reprimanded the onlookers on the shore at a rapid pace, and quickly took off his clothes, the skin exposed after the clothes fell was covered with thick body hair, and his strong muscles were constantly shaking under the stimulation of the cold wind.

Adora was so shy that she covered her cheeks with her hands, but peeked through the gaping ten gaping fingers.

The man quickly jumped into the cold pool, and it only took a short moment for the cold water to freeze his skin as red as if boiled.

He paddled desperately with his teeth clenched, and finally caught the thinly clothed child floating in the water before his hands and feet were numb from the cold and he lost consciousness.

When he grabbed Xu Yun, although he was motionless as if he was a dead corpse, the man could clearly feel that the arm he was holding was actually transferring heat to his palm.

"He's alive!" He shouted to change his breath, and then dragged Xu Yun to swim to the shore. The icy water of the pool is like a cold devil, madly devouring the physical strength and body temperature of the man. Halfway through the swim, he couldn't feel his hands and feet, and even breathing became difficult.

He gritted his teeth and used his last will to desperately move his limbs.

"Pull me with a branch!" When he saw the branch that the children had just tried to hook Xu Yun in their hands, his eyes lit up.

"All of you hold on to the other side, or I'll drag you into the water." He heard that his voice was completely out of tune, but the children quickly carried out his order, and the four boys grabbed one end of the branch and stretched the other end into the pool.

With the last of his strength, the man reached out and grabbed the long branch. Only this time, the children on the shore of the road stumbled and almost fell.

"Come on, pull to the shore." The man gasped, and he looked at the white breath exhaled from his mouth as if his soul was leaving him. He couldn't even hear his own voice clearly.

Four boys grabbed a branch and dragged the man to the shore.

"Quick, hard! One-two, hard, one-two! Daddy hold on, we'll drag you ashore. The boy named Alan watched as the man became weaker and weaker before his eyes, and his reddened skin, which had been frozen by the pool, turned pale at a rate visible to the naked eye. He shouted anxiously, shouting slogans for his partners around him, and working together.

Everyone finally pulled the man to the shore to dive, and Alan couldn't wait to get into the water, and his shoes had just been immersed in the pool, and tears were washed out of his eyes by the biting cold.

"Dad actually went into the water to save people in such a cold! It's too cold, don't come down, wait for me to drag people over! He hurriedly stopped his little friend who wanted to go into the water to help.

He tried his best to endure the stinging pain caused by the pool water, grabbed his father's arm, gritted his teeth and dragged him to the shore with all his strength.

Just a few meters away, it was as if a day had passed in his senses. Approaching the shore, the friends were finally able to help, and the four of them grabbed the man's two arms with eight hands and dragged him completely up the riverbank. The man knew that his body was unconscious and he was still holding Xu Yun's arm, so Xu Yun was also dragged up.

At this time, Xu Yun had already recovered a little from the numbness of the collision when he fell into the pool, opened his mouth and exhaled, and the white heat rose into the air in front of him.

"I'm alive."
