Chapter 330: Forward, Yongchun Lake
People in the Shenyuan world also have a good or bad fate, but it is not the gods, Buddhas, lords and other earthly beliefs that determine their fate, and different people have different opinions.
Magicians believe that the rules of the world determine the quality of fate, and those who understand the rules have the opportunity to take their fate into their own hands, but the gods who understand the rules never give a clear statement on this.
The knights believed that the power of the bloodline carried the good or bad of their personal fate, and sometimes even affected the rise and fall of the entire family, but those high-ranking martial gods only ensured that the family would not be destroyed, and they never cared about the rise and fall of the family.
Samurai, archers, and ordinary people have their own preferences, some believe in rules, some believe in blood, and of course, those who believe that they can change their lives against the sky, and their common characteristic is that they all believe that fate is unpredictable.
Ding Kui currently believes in the rules, compared with his previous life, his luck in this world is much better, it is obvious that the rules of the earth world cannot control him in the Shenyuan world, and it can be inferred that the rules of the Shenyuan world control his destiny.
Not all areas of the mountains are covered in snow, and one of them is the Hot Springs Ridge, which is rich in geothermal resources and has many naturally occurring surface hot springs that melt quickly when snow falls.
The sparrow's mouth does not sound like much in the day, but the road is not so easy, it is all a ravine, and the ground is mostly slippery rocks and ice, and there is an unbroken stream.
It is estimated that Ding Kui, a knight dressed in the skin of a magician, walks in the ravine like walking on the ground, causing Bai Ruoxi to mutter, "How is he more like a knight than me" in private.
In such road conditions, the three samurai were a little clumsy, and Bai Ruoxi, who was dexterous in footwork, showed his advantages, and commented on the scenery on the road leisurely.
"If all magicians were knights before they became magic apprentices, then physical weakness would not be one of the disadvantages of magicians. Bai Ruoxi couldn't help but say to Ding Kui.
"Hehe, good proposal, you can suggest it to the Wizard's Association. When you pay attention to your body, it is difficult to perceive the elements around you, and if you solve this problem, President Zhe will definitely give you a big reward. "Ding Kui is not the rookie magician he was at the beginning, he knows a little bit of common sense.
He himself is a demon first and then a fighting spirit, this road is not accessible to anyone, and he is the only one in this world for human beings.
Bai Ruoxi pursed her lips, "Hmph, what a pervert like you can do doesn't mean that others can do it, even if I know, it's useless, and magicians will never be able to promote it when I say it." After the beef jerky incident, she became familiar with Ding Kui a lot, and couldn't figure out why he was so powerful and often complained about perverts.
Several other people belong to the bottom of society and don't know much about magicians and knights; Bai Ruoxi is not deeply involved in the world and has low strength, so he can't see Ding Kui's problem, so Ding Kui dares to show his strength so boldly.
If there was a master present, he would have seen that there was something wrong with Ding Kui, and a magician who was not left behind by an archer while traveling in the mountains could no longer be explained by metamorphosis.
Suddenly, the sparrow, which was dozens of meters ahead of everyone, stopped, touched the side of the hill with a cat's waist, and untied the bow on his back all the way, and pulled out a feather arrow and put it on the string.
Cui Tianwu put his finger in front of his mouth, made a silent gesture, and motioned for the team to stop advancing.
Ding Kui didn't dare to carelessly pull out his magic wand and added a magic shield to himself for safety.
"Whoosh" The sparrow shot out, and a roe deer fell in the snowdrift in the distance.
Sparrow turned around to signal that everyone was okay.
"Hey, a roe deer, I said it earlier, I added a magic shield. Ding Kui stopped outputting his magic power, and the magic shield disappeared.
"Hehe, that's because you don't work well with Sparrow, and if we need to get into a fight, he'll gesture to tell me. Cui Tianwu smiled, Ding Kui's reaction was finally much more normal, indicating that he was indeed entering the mountain for the first time.
Lei Feixiang stepped forward and lifted the dead roe deer in his hand, and the sparrow continued to explore the path ahead.
"Hehe, this roe deer weighs fifty or sixty pounds, and today's dinner has been settled. Lei Feixiang said to the crowd who caught up.
"This is the first living creature we've seen along the way. Ding Kui looked at the surrounding mountains.
"That's right, it's a good sign, the roe deer is stuck in the ravine, which proves that no one should pass here, and there may be a harvest on this trip to Hot Spring Ridge. Cui Tianwu nodded.
This statement played a role in boosting the morale of the team, and everyone rushed faster, and every step was easier than before.
No wonder Cao Cao's Wangmei quenched his thirst and killed his army, this psychological hint has an extraordinary effect on the right place, and when used for mobilization before the war, will it increase the combat effectiveness a lot?
Ding Kui's thinking was different from others, and at this time he actually thought of pre-war mobilization.
In the later journey, they could hear the cries of wild beasts and see the abnormal movement of grass and trees in the mountains and forests, indicating that this area had not become the main route of the beast tide, and some beasts and monsters that were good at hiding came out to move after the beast tide.
That night, due to the faster than expected journey, the group had time to find an ownerless cave in the mountains and no longer have to camp in a treacherous ravine.
Although winter is threatened by low temperatures, there is one thing that is not comparable to other seasons, that is, it is easy to get water, and there are water sources everywhere in the open air. This can reduce the burden on the adventure group, and they don't have to carry too large a hydration bag, which can be regarded as making up for some of the weight of winter clothing.
After the meal, the group gathered around the map to discuss tomorrow's itinerary.
"There is a non-freezing lake under the Hot Spring Ridge, we call it Yongchun Lake, and it is speculated from the route that the bone beetles and thundering frogs that attacked Tianmen Town came from here. Sparrow said, pointing to a small piece on the map.
"The water of Yongchun Lake is very deep, and there used to be bone beetles and thundering frogs, even if there are water magicians, they don't dare to come here, after all, only magicians can dive underwater, and others can only watch from the shore. Lei Feixiang said something that embarrassed everyone.
Who will go into the water? How can you search the lair of these two water-based demonic beasts without the familiar water nature?
Looking at his teammates who were looking at each other, Ding Kui smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it's a coincidence, I practiced the 'Water Breath Technique' a few days ago, and although I am not very water-based, I can stay underwater for a while. ”
The four major systems of magic, in addition to the auxiliary magic that helps breathe in the qi system, have the "Earth Breath Technique", the fire system has the "Fire Breath Technique", and the water system has the "Water Breath Technique", which can ensure that breathing under extreme conditions in each system.
"I'm okay with the water, it's not a problem to stay underwater for half an hour. Bai Ruoxi found that he was among the best in the team in this aspect.
"Neither of my husband and I are proficient in water, I'm afraid we can't help, who else can go into the water?" Cui Tianwu confessed that he could only make soy sauce in Yongchun Lake.
Ding Kui looked around at everyone, Sparrow, Dou Xiaoqi and Lei Feixiang all lowered their heads and did not speak, Cui Tianwu and his wife looked helpless, only Bai Ruoxi stood up with his head held high.
"I, I can float on the surface, I can't really dive in. Lei Feixiang couldn't hold back and whispered.
"The battle of Tianmen killed tens of thousands of bone beetles and thundering frogs, and one of the bone beetle leader beasts was seriously injured and fled;
In this case, I will first go into the water to find the lair where those races have all died, and if I encounter a water-based demonic beast, I can still escape from the water. Once the empty nest containing the demon core was discovered, Bai Ruoxi brought a bag to pick it up and handed it to Lei Feixiang to send back to the shore.
The rest of the men were on guard on the shore, the archers were responsible for killing the monsters that came out of the water, and the samurai kept the shore safe. Even if we can't beat this Yongchun Lake, our lives will not be in danger. Ding Kui put forward his own opinion.
"Are you sure you won't be in danger?" Cui Tianwu asked Ding Kui.
"Sure, you can't attack the monster underwater, and it's okay to protect yourself. Ding Kui said confidently.
"Cousin, are you okay?" Cui Tianwu turned his head and asked Bai Ruoxi.
"It's just that it's not a big problem to be responsible for passing and transporting, if there are not many third-level demonic beasts, I can still kill a few. "Bai Ruoxi seems that the water nature is really good.
"If you just send things back to the shore, I'll do it!" Lei Feixiang hurriedly answered without waiting for Cui Tianwu to ask.
"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow according to His Excellency Xie Peng's method. If it succeeds, His Excellency Xie Peng will account for 40 percent of the income this time, Bai Ruoxi will account for 2 percent of 5 percent, Lei Feixiang will account for 1 percent of 5 percent, and the four of us will share the remaining 20 percent. Do you have any opinions?" Cui Tianwu will not be the team organizer, and in the blink of an eye, even how to divide the spoils has been decided.
Sparrow's eyes flickered, and her lips moved, but she didn't say anything, and everyone else nodded in agreement.
When the effort is uneven, the adventure group needs to negotiate the distribution of benefits first, which is a necessary means to avoid team conflicts. After all, everyone is here for the sake of profit, and if there is a pimple in the heart, it will affect unity, and in a critical moment, it may cause the team to fall apart.
There may be a lot of monsters in Yongchun Lake, and after setting a plan of action, everyone rested early to recharge their energy to face unknown dangers.
The next day was a sunny day, and Cui Tianwu came down to the lucky side. At the very least, on a sunny day, you have a clear view and can observe the deeper underwater conditions.
Ding Kui and the others left the cave and walked along the ravine for about thirty miles, and a waterfall with a drop of nearly eighty meters appeared in front of them.
"I'll go up and see first, and if it's not dangerous, I'll shoot a fireball down, and then I'll throw the rope down to you. After Ding Kui finished speaking, he took a bundle of hemp rope handed over by Dou Xiaoqi, and then used his aerial technique to fly.
With flying magicians on the team, the difficulty of climbing mountains has dropped by at least half.
Ding Kui rose into the air under the morning light, the water of the waterfall was not large, and there were still patches of mist, and the people below looked up and saw several rainbows surrounding him.
"That's how good a magician is, he can fly when he reaches the fourth level of combat power, I really envy him. Bai Ruo hoped that Ding Kui's eyes in the air were straight.
