As the stone door moved away with a rumbling sound, the sudden light pierced the eyes of the people. шwщ

Aisha led them around the tunnel called the "Snake Cave" for a long time, and they didn't know how many forks in the road they had passed. Not to mention Aisha, Ivan can't even find where North is now. All he knew was that they had never walked this path before.

The stone door was opened by Aisha, and she felt the switch of the magic device, and the ensuing noise caused the rest of them to straighten their backs, for fear of being discovered by the enemy.

However, there seems to be no enemy in this vicinity. Hunter glanced back and walked out the door. The air above your head is so clean that you can't help but feel refreshed.

"Damn, we're out!" Hunter cried softly. Here, obviously, it's no longer the Valley of the Fog Wind. After a stretch of flat ground, a narrow stone staircase is carved out of the bare slope that winds to the top of the hill.

At the top of the hill stood a black tower, similar to the watchtower in the Misty Valley, but from a distance, the tower was unusually quiet, as if it was not guarded by soldiers. Ivan also turned his head to look at the tunnel they had passed. The dark entrance of the cave, like a dark tomb, exudes an eerie atmosphere.

"What is this place?" he said, surveying the landscape. They stood between two hillsides, not the kind of cliffs that go straight up and down in the Misty Valley, but it was probably difficult to climb.

I don't know where the Valley of the Fogwind is, did they cross a mountain, how far did they go?

"Who knows. Hunter replied in a rough voice, "Hey, young master, I don't think there's anyone else here, we have to find a place to rest, you see the sun is about to set, it's not a way to hide." ”

Ivan glanced at him. He knew that Hunter was not quite willing to believe that the Nome wanted to oppose them, and he always felt that seeing a familiar Nome would solve a problem. But will Hunter's familiar Noem help them?

Nome, who heard the horn and opened the iron door to let them in, presumably knew the hunters, but they were trapped in the Misty Valley, with deadly fireballs falling overhead.

He didn't think the hunters would cheat them, he just couldn't believe Hunter's "familiar" Noam, whoever it was.

"Hmm...... Find a place to rest before it gets dark. Ivan looked a little lost at the bare and steep hill ahead. The tent was placed on the sleigh, long since it was engulfed in flames, and all the sled dogs had either died tragically or their whereabouts were unknown, and Aisha only had time to pick up their small backpacks. There is nothing in the bag to shelter from the wind or keep warm, so what should I do after dark?

There's not even a forest in front of you!

"What about there? I don't see there's anybody. Shrek looked up at the tower at the top of the mountain. As hunters enter the Misty Valley, they discuss ale and barbecue. By this time, the ale and the barbecue had become a distant delusion, and it would be nice to have an eaves.

Ivan thought for a moment and shook his head.

"The way up is too narrow, and if they catch up, if there are people up there, we won't be able to escape. He looked to the side of the steep slope, "Let's go this way, let's go around, there should be a cave or something." ”

"I also think it's better not to go up. Aisha immediately agreed, "We can't go down the path they have repaired, they ...... They shouldn't let us go. ”

The road down the steep slope looks like it has never been repaired by the Nome. They had to hold each other as if they were in a dark tunnel so that they wouldn't fall when they stepped on the sloping stones. Despite this, if you want to move forward, you still have to use your hands and feet at the same time.

After walking for a while, several people took turns sliding down a slope covered with thick snow, and finally a hardy cedar bush appeared in front of them. Further on, the trees grew denser and denser, and whenever the mountain wind blew, the treetops rustled, as if countless wild beasts were walking through them.

"I had to hide from those little things. Shrek breathed a sigh of relief and began to mumble dissatisfiedly. Low branches often skimmed over his head, and he had lost his hat, and his scalp was cold.

"We had to hide from those gadgets! We didn't even have a place to spend the night! We told them to burn down our tents!"

"Alright, don't chirp for me!" said Hunter, who was now in a terrible temper, and with a swing of his scimitar, he slashed a branch that had been bent by the snow so as not to be blocked from the way, and the cedars swayed and whined.

"I don't think there are any caves here, why don't we rest for a while?" Hunter looked at Ivan with a visibly resentful look. Ivan can't lift his feet now. Walking on the carpet-like soft snow requires more effort with each step. He nodded, leaning against a stout cedar.

"I guess the sleeping bag should be here......" Aisha rummaged through the backpack. The deerskin mats were also burned, and only the sleeping bags stuffed with wool were able to keep out the cold of the ice. The sky was getting dark, the sun was moving to their right, and they were heading north.

Bob suddenly raised his longbow, his face alarmed.

Hunter had just sat down and stood up, and the hunters quickly formed a small circle. Although they were all tired and their mood had fallen to the bottom, the hunter's duty was not forgotten. Seeing this, Ai Xia hurriedly put away his backpack and took out the magic magic weapon pistol.

"We've been discovered?"

She asked in a whisper. At this time, about a hundred meters away from the bushes, a wolf slowly walked out.

The wolf's size was as large as the monster they had encountered a few days ago, but its eyes were black, and there was not a single trace of origin magic emanating from its body. The wolf seemed to be so patient that it didn't even howl to call its companions, but moved slowly, as if to examine the strangers.

Another wolf came out from another direction, and then another one came. Ivan stood among the hunters with his dagger in his hand, and he was surprised to find that before he knew it, they were surrounded by wolves! Pure white wolves surrounded them silently like ghosts roaming in the forest, there were probably as many as ten, and these were real snowfield wolves!

"How many can you solve?"

Ivan noticed that Bob was whispering to Shrek, who was holding a huge crossbow and staring intently at the first wolf to come out.

"I can at least fix this. Shrek replied with great certainty, "Aim well, hold steady." ”

Ivan knew why the hunters were so calm. Wolves don't give up on their companions casually, and when they realize that if they attack, some of them will die, they won't act rashly. He also knew that wolves generally did not come out to hunt during the day. He had encountered wolves on the Taka Desert Crater, and the wolves were sorcerers who defended their homes.

So who are these wolves?

"Young Master, Miss, we're getting ready to rush out, I remember that you all have the magic to light fire. Hunter's tone was full of hunter's confidence. These wolves are not monsters, even if they are giant wolves in the snow field, they are as afraid of fire as ordinary beasts, "I'll count one, two, three, kill the wolves over there, the young master and the young lady will set fire to them directly, they won't dare to chase them." One, two, three"

"Wait a minute!"

Ivan was a step too late, and his crossbow and bow roared through the air, taking the wolf's head. However, as if prepared, a strange light arced in front of the wolf. The wolf swooped to the side, and Shrek's crossbow bolt was actually deflected to the side and nailed to the tree.
