244. Friends on the other side of the mountain
Roy came out of his tent and shivered at the oncoming wind, and the temperature at Pass Three dropped to freezing at night, so it was no wonder that the environment around it was barren except for bare rocks and pine forests.
The campfire in the center of the camp was always blown by the wind and was always on the verge of extinguishing.
Roy walked out, sat down next to the campfire, scooped out a cup of extremely sweet fruit tea from the hanging iron pot, and had to say that when he woke up, especially on such a cold night, he could drink a cup of hot fruit tea, and felt that the cold in the bone knots was dispelled.
Roy wrapped the blanket around him a little tighter, and the tents around him were blown by the wind.
But at night, there was no other noise except for the howling of the cold wind......
Above the clouds, Roy sat by the campfire and looked up at the starry sky, which was completely different from the starry sky of Castleton, and Instructor Nora had told him that the legendary powerhouses who could break through the fourth turn could travel to the Outlands and explore new planes.
This made Roy yearn for it, and he couldn't understand how the legendary powerhouses survived in outer space.
After drinking a cup of fruit tea, Roy felt that the fruit tea was really fragrant in the iron pot, so he poured himself another cup......
After drinking two cups of fruit tea in a row, I was blown by the cold wind again, and suddenly I felt a burst of urine.
Roy hurriedly put down his teacup, observed the downwind in the woodland, untied the blanket draped over his body, and walked under a secluded pine tree.
The cold wind made Roy shiver, and in a place where the campfire couldn't shine, Roy pouted at the pine trees.
In the howling wind, Roy suddenly heard a few short spells......
'Appeased'
Roy could only hear the word at the end of the spell.
He only felt a wave of sleepiness rushing over, and his eyelids were constantly fighting, obviously he had just woken up, and he actually wanted to sleep for a while uncontrollably.
His body leaned forward, and he quickly stretched out one hand to hold the pine tree, and the other barely lifted his pants.
At this moment, Roy suddenly heard a voice talking behind a pine tree beside him, so he did not act rashly, and stood quietly next to the pine tree......
He didn't go over to investigate, but wanted to hear what they had to say.
"I heard that there are many silver moon elves living on the other side of the mountain, not only beautiful, but also very white, why didn't I see where he was white, and you look at his ears, they are not pointed ears, I don't think he can be an elf."
The young voice reached Roy's ears.
Although he is very fluent in Elvish, he is somewhat different from the Elvish language on the part of Castletown in some syllables.
"Let's go over and take a look, be quiet, don't wake him up, it's a little cold here, you see he wears so little, and we can't carry him to the campfire, then take a closer look, wake him up quickly, so as not to be blown by the cold wind for too long, and it will be easy to get sick."
"Got it!" "Kaka, you said they ran into this forest, why wasn't they eaten by that big guy?"
"Maybe the big guy is full."
The sound of the conversation next to him became clearer and clearer...... Roy suddenly turned around and saw two young half-blood elves, dressed in deerskin leather armor, and the hat on their heads was actually a deer head, not only with antlers, but also with eyes and noses, which were very joyful to wear on their heads.
The two young half-blood elves stared at Roy with round eyes.
One of the half-blood elves stammered and pointed at Roy and said, "You...... How did you wake up? ”
The two half-blood elves hurriedly took two steps back, and when they saw that Roy had no malicious intent, they stopped again.
"Where did you come from? Or is your home right here? Roy asked the two young half-blood elves curiously.
The two half-blood elves looked at each other, and instead of answering Roy's question, they said bluntly, "You haven't answered our question yet!" ”
"Well, why can't I be awake?" Roy asked the two young elves rhetorically.
The two young half-blood elves were a little speechless.
One of the elves said, "Because we used pacifying magic on you, you should sleep for a while!" ”
"That's probably because your magic is dead." Roy said casually.
He was a little cold from the wind, and he wanted to sit back by the campfire and put on a blanket.
"I made some tea over there, in such a cold weather, would you like to drink some hot together?" Roy asked them.
"No, it's so late, we should go back too."
With that, the young half-blood elf turned around and ran into the pine forest.
Roy had wanted to talk to them more, and although they had just cast a hypnotic spell on themselves, it was clear that they didn't seem to have any ill intentions, so Roy didn't care about it.
He was going to learn more about Pass Three, especially since there were still half-blood elves living here, and the villagers on the other side of the barrier village didn't know anything about it.
Maybe the half-blood elves in the Barrier Village knew, but they just pretended not to know......
However, it was cold and food was scarce at Pass No. 3.
During the day, Instructor Eleanor did not find the elves' dwellings in the pine forest, and where they lived was a mystery to Roy.
As soon as Roy wanted to walk back to the camp and report the incident to Instructor Nora, he saw the two half-blood elves running back in a panic.
They saw that Roy hadn't left yet, so they hurriedly came to Roy, and one of the half-blood elves took out two mango-like fruits from his pocket with some restraint, and Roy didn't refuse at all, and stuffed them directly into Roy's hands.
"Well, we're going to invite you to eat the Tyro fruit, and you must not spread the news that you have seen us, please, please." The half-blood elf said pleadingly.
“…… Well, you haven't even answered my question......" Roy said.
"Okay, he's already seen us, if he wants to tell the story that he has seen us, it probably won't be long before the Silver Moon Elves will find him, and even if we don't say it, they'll know." The young half-blood elf standing in front turned back to his companion and said.
Then he answered Roy's question honestly.
"We live at the foot of the southern slopes, and we're from there!" The half-blood elf explained honestly to Roy.
"It turns out that there is also an elven village south of the griffin fortress......"
Roy was a little dumbfounded, which was obviously different from what he had known before.
Instructor Nora and Marjery Guides have always thought of the vast jungle south of the Griffon's Barrier Mountains.
For the elves, it is a jungle full of unknown dangers.
But now, Roy actually heard that there were other elven villages at the southern foot of the Griffin Mountains, so that Nora's Instructor's action of climbing the Griffon Mountains this time was not very meaningful.
"We've been living there for a long time." The half-blood elf replied bluntly.
"Okay, you asked us questions, and we answered them all, remember not to tell the other elves about going to see us." The two young half-blood elves hurried away again.
Roy couldn't talk to them any longer.
Maybe it was an agreement between young friends, or maybe it was the two Taylor nuts that stuck to his mouth, but Roy didn't report the matter to Instructor Nora when he returned to camp.
……
Sit in front of the campfire until dawn.
The members of the adventuring group woke up and walked out of their tents, and Instructor Eleanor went to explore the pine forest as usual.
Instructor Nora sat by the fire and drank a cup of hot fruit tea.
Roy also took the opportunity to ask Instructor Nora:
"Instructor Nora, do you think it's possible...... The jungle south of the Griffon Mountains is also inhabited by a group of half-blood elves? ”
Before Instructor Nora could speak, the Marjery guide, who was sitting silently beside him, stood up and said excitedly:
"Absolutely impossible, I'm sure...... Aside from our party, no elves have yet arrived! ”
Roy was a little unconvinced, he pointed to the ruins on the other side of the pine forest clearing, and asked, "And what is the explanation of the ruins here?" ”
"These ruins are not left by the elves, there should be other races living here, and then I don't know why I left, we are the first adventure group to reach the peak pass, and I am also the first guide to successfully lead the adventure group to the third pass!"
Guide Marjery immediately explained.
"Today we are going to stop at Pass No. 3 for a whole day, we have to explore around, and then go to the southern slope to find out if there is any way down the mountain!"
Instructor Nora said to everyone.
……
Presumably to confirm that the giant spider's nest would not be dangerous.
Instructor Nora allowed Roy, Sabrina, and Miss Christine to explore the spider's lair during the day.
Exploring this rare nest of magical beasts can enrich the three students' experience and experience of survival in the wild......
This time, Instructor Gru offered to lead the team, and Instructor Nora readily agreed.
Instructor Gru followed Instructor Eleanor's direction and led the three students through the pine forest to a mountain wall that had become noticeably steeper.
This is the peak on the left side of Pass No. 3, the pine forest has not spread out, the mountain wall outside the pass is still bare, at the end of the pine forest can clearly see a large snow-white cobweb, the snow-white cobweb spread out for several hundred meters, it looks like snow.
As soon as the group of four people walked into the area covered with cobwebs, they found that there were all kinds of white bones scattered under the white cobwebs all over the ground.
Covered in white cobwebs, the pine trees here are almost all dead.
The cobwebs are not sticky at all and are exceptionally tough......
When you step on it, it's like standing on a soft sofa, very soft, and full of rebound, but it's a little unsteady.
White bones, cobwebs, dead trees, and the smell of rot wafting everywhere made the spider nest a little eerie, and Instructor Gru walked in front with a battle bow, but because of Instructor Eleanor's two reconnaissances, Instructor Gru knew that this lair was not dangerous.
So he barely stopped, and walked straight inside......
The abundance of bones and cobwebs made both Sabrina and Miss Christine feel a little uncomfortable, and they covered their mouths and noses as low as they could, following the group.
Roy could tell that many of the bones on the spider's lair were griffin bones, and that many of the dead trees had white cocoons hanging from them.
Roy curiously asks Instructor Gru what the white cocoons on the tree are......
Instructor Gru didn't explain, he directly shot the white cocoon with an arrow, and the viscous juice filled with sour smell was hula, flowing all over the ground, this sudden change frightened the two ladies to retreat again and again, Roy saw the bones of a argali, which melted into the juice and only had some bones and fascia.
"These should be rations stored by the giant spiders." Instructor Gru pinched his nose and walked closer to observe before speaking.
Everyone continued to walk along the white cobwebs, and sure enough, the cave was empty except for the cobwebs and white bones.
Obviously, this giant spider usually hides in its nest, and the nest is not too deep, it is full of cobwebs, and there is a pile of bones in the depths of the cave, it seems that this guy must usually eat a lot.
"This is a third-order demonic beast black mace spider, it is almost extinct in the elven continent, I didn't expect to see their traces on the side of the Partington plane, they usually rely on their own strength, they can defeat the vast majority of beasts in the jungle, if you see it in the wild, run as far as you can, it is an extremely aggressive demonic beast."
Instructor Gru introduced to the three students.
Miss Christine listened attentively to Instructor Gru's story......
Roy and Sabrina crouched next to the pile of bones, fiddling with them with a twig in an attempt to find the core that had fallen inside.
The two of them searched next to the pile of bones, and indeed found a few magic crystals.
Gru will crouch to the side, rummaging through a few fanged skulls, and whisper, "This big guy really feeds on griffins......
……
Instructor Nora and several other instructors, Marjery's guide, and Scarlett Wizard explored the southern slope for a day, and came to the conclusion that there was no way down the southern slope of Pass No. 3 at all, except by sliding down a long rope.
This news frustrated Instructor Nora, who had planned to make her next expedition to the Partington Plane to reach the southern jungle of the Griffon Mountains from Pass Three, but had not found a way to get through it now......
"It's good to be here, we've achieved our mission goal, it's not bad!" Instructor Nora said to everyone.
The other members of the party didn't care, it didn't matter if they could go to the southern jungle or not.
In the evening, Roy again asked Instructor Nora to be on duty.
Someone offered to be on duty for the night, and Instructor Nora gave Roy a very appreciative look, and then readily agreed.
Roy, as usual, was shouted by a yawning Instructor Eleanor in the middle of the night, and sat by the fire wrapped in a blanket......
Sure enough, they didn't have to wait too long, just behind a pine tree, two half-blood elves looked at this side, and the deer head hats on their heads looked really funny.
Roy walked over to the pine tree, handed out two cups of hot fruit tea to the half-blood elf hiding behind the pine tree, and said:
"Why are you guys again? It's so cold here, why don't you have two cups of hot tea? ”
A half-blood elf took a cup of fruit tea and said to Roy:
"Let's take advantage of the night to get some spider silk, this thing can be boiled into glue, and it can be used to make bows and arrows......"
