The blizzard has finally passed, and in the starry night, it's time to set off again. Edherson put his bags on his back, Alice was fully armed, and the Ice Evil was lightly dressed, glanced at the starry sky, and ran quickly.

After this day of tempering, Alice's physique has indeed strengthened a lot, and she has been running with Bing Zhiye for several hours in a row, but she is not tired, and she can barely keep up.

Alice herself was so happy to see the obvious changes before and after the training, so happy that she could even hum a song: "I vibrate my powerful wings, and below is the sliding blue pastures, willows, and winding rivers. This is the moat, and nearby, is the garden, where my loved ones walk. But when I returned, I had to be careful not to lose the magic book that was tied to my belt. I can never fly too high, and there are mountains. I barely struggled to the ridge above the forest, a forest rusted by the leaves of chestnut and oak trees. There, to the birds carved into the dead branches, an invisible hand threw the branches, and magically led me down. I fell. She kept me in her gloves, and at this moment, a blood-feathered eagle, 'the witch of the desert'. In the castle, she found the spell printed on my book. ①”

"What are you chanting?" asked Ishian, who was following behind.

"I don't know, it seems that the teacher taught me poetry. Alice shook her head: "I'm just happy. ”

"You can see it. ”

Bing Zhiye said coldly: "If you are not afraid of summoning the wolf, you can just sing." ”

Alice stumbled and almost didn't fall.

"What a guy who doesn't care about any fun. Ishon muttered, helping Alice to continue her journey.

As he ran, he suddenly saw a fire in front of him. There is firelight, most of them are people, and Bingzhi said evilly: "Could it be Jack and them, it won't be such a coincidence, right?"

In fact, it was indeed Jack's black mercenary group, that is, the Treasure Adventure Group.

"Hey, man, meet again. Jack beckoned to him and stepped forward with a smile.

Bingzhi saw that some of them were holding wounds, sorting out medicines, etc., and it seemed that they had encountered a battle, and it was a very sinister battle.

"Hello little girl, and this centaur lady, Ishiansen. "Jack behaved like a gentleman.

Alice puffed up: "Weishenme call me a little girl, I'm not the same as before now, I can be an adult on my own." He gestured with a fist.

"Huh?" Jack looked at Alice with something else in his eyes, and then at Ice Childish.

Knowing that Jack had misunderstood, Isesen hurriedly covered Alice's mouth, afraid that she would say something nonsense.

"What's wrong?" I remember that your group had a sled, and you didn't take a different path than us, so you shouldn't be so procrastinating. ”

"Hey~!, please sit down, please take a seat. Jack and Ice Evil sat down and said, "We have only been gone for a few days, and we ran into the Ice and Snow Fairy Walker, and we fought a bitter battle, and we were entangled by them again and again, and we fled here until we got rid of them. ”

Alice interjected curiously and asked, "What is the Ice Elblin Walker?"

Bingzhi said: "It is a small goblin, fifty or sixty centimeters tall, living in groups, good at ice and snow magic and many skills, moving extremely fast in the snow, there are a lot of them, generally not less than a hundred, and the ice and snow magic that is cast together is also quite powerful." ”

"That's right. Jack said: "We met more than 300 of them this time, and luckily none of them died of serious injuries." ”

"Those abominable little monsters are a real nuisance. Bertha, who made the darts, came over with the corpse of an ice goblin: "Oh, little girl, this is it. ”

"Ah, it's so ugly, I thought it was a pretty Miss Ice Elf. Alice said disappointed.

Bertha laughed: "The kind of thing you are talking about can only be found in your fairy tales." ”

Jack opened the map and said, "Once you enter the North Pole, that little monster will be there, little brother, if you go over, be careful." ”

"Call me Ice. Bing Zhixiao looked at the map in his hand, which was much more detailed than the map in his hand, and everything was drawn clearly, even the contour line.

Jack said: "This is a map specially made by our adventure union, it is generally difficult to buy on the market, Brother Bing, your map must not have me." ”

"Hmm. Bing Zhixiao nodded: "Where are we now?"

Jack pointed to a place, not far below a very thick black line: "This black line is the North Pole Line, ice and snow fairies generally live on the North Pole line, there are very few here, it is a kind of difficult monster, we underestimate these little guys." ”

Bing Zhiye looked at the place he pointed, and he was still far away from Danluer, and couldn't help but sigh.

Jack laughed, "You're going to Danluer, it's hard to walk here without a guide dog." However, we only bought a guide dog and cannot give it to you. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"A better way for you at the moment is to turn around and head west. Because where we are now looks like a flat pine forest, but in fact we are on high ground, and the terrain to the west and east will slowly descend, and there may be unburied water, and you will be able to follow the road. To the east, although the terrain is relatively low, there is the Shengxue Mountain Range beyond that, and you can't go out. Jack smiled: "But the best way, you still follow us, we have guide dogs, more secure." ”

Jack's cousin came out of the tent and looked very unhappy when she saw Bing Zhixiao again: "Why are you here again, is there any ulterior motive?"

"You ......" Alice was very angry when she heard this, and just as she wanted to retort, she heard Jack scold.

"Sando, why are you so rude! It's a guest, you know?" Jack finished his drink and asked again, "How's Carter's injury?"

"I've taken care of it for him. ”

Jack said, "Then go see someone else! And if I hear you say such things again, don't talk to me for the rest of your life!"

Sando glanced at them unhappily and left in a huff.

Alice was secretly speechless, this regimental leader, who seemed to be very bold and gentle, had such a fierce temper.

Jack apologized, "I'm sorry for my cousin's neglect, her appearance made you laugh." ”,

It's best not to talk about embarrassing things, Bing Zhiyi put aside this topic and simply asked directly, "How are you looking for your treasure?"

Jack was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Little brother, you have a lot, such a frank question also shows that you are calm." To be honest, no definite location has been found. ”

"Is there a clue?" asked Bing Zhixie.

"Hmm. Jack said: "There is a clue, and it is also inferred from the myth. ”

Bing Zhiye shortened his words: "Needless to say, we are not very interested in treasures, but we really want to break off the road with you, which will save us some time." ”

Jack laughed, "That's the best, that's exactly what I thought." The three of you master and servant can walk in the forest and snow field, and they must also be people with some ability, so we also have a help to be together. ”

Ixiusen smiled reluctantly, Ice Childish is a capable person, but she herself and her master Alice are ....... In fact, along the way, it can only be said that they are lucky, and they haven't encountered any too powerful magical beasts, otherwise if they encounter a magical beast like the Snow Giant, it will be very dangerous if the ice and evil don't make a move.

Bingzhi said evilly: "I heard you say that the ice and snow goblins are so powerful, if we are alone, we are afraid that it will be very dangerous, and it is safe for our peers." ”

"That's good, that's good. Jack said, "Please include more about my cousin, and she will never say anything like that again." ”

Bing Zhiye smiled.

Alice suddenly asked, "Since you know the danger, why don't you bring more people?

Isherson smiled, "This little girl's question is really interesting. There were forty-five people in our regiment, and nine of us here were elites. It's not that I don't want to bring them with us, but the material burden of the nine of us is very heavy, and it would be too expensive to bring forty-five people. And a lot of people doesn't necessarily mean it's easy to do things, it's too weak, staying in the team only drags others down, and no one wants to be a burden to others, right?"

"It's a burden. Alice glanced at the icy childish.

Jack got up and said, "We're going to have to fix it for two days before we can leave, and we're going to delay you for two more days." I'll take a look at my companion's wounds, you sit, just drink the beer. ”
