"How can there be such a thing here!" Cynthia whispered.

"Do you recognize what this is?" Alan was startled and looked at her in surprise, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder.

Cynthia quickly covered his mouth, but it seemed to be a little late.

Sure enough, before she could answer, the two behemoths turned their heads as if they had heard their voices, staring at them deadly.

By the light of the nearby magic lamp, Eren could see them clearly. The two big creatures were fat and tall, with their backs bent, and their heads almost touched the roof of the cave when they stood up; they were red all over their bodies, their skin was chapped, and there was a faint smell of steam all around them; their bodies were very deformed, their arms and legs were very thin and their bellies were round, and their long heads had two invisible eyes, and there were only two holes where they should have been ears. This body feels like a patchwork of flesh and pieces.

"Don't make a sound...... Cynthia stared at the two monsters approaching them, the voices so low that only Alan could hear. At the same time, she clenched her wand in her right hand, ready to fight back at any moment.

But fortunately, the intelligence of these two guys didn't seem to be high, and after looking closer for a long time, they didn't realize that it was just a camouflage enchantment, so they roared again and ran towards the entrance of the cave together.

"Phew......" Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief, "you almost killed us...... If they step on it, or if they are smarter and move a rock and throw it at them, we won't be able to run. ”

"Sorry...... Ahem...... "Alan also has palpitations. But just now Cynthia was gagged, and then his head was pressed against the wall, and now the back of his head hurts a little.

"Luckily, giants are born fools, and as long as you don't dangle them in front of their eyes, they won't be of much interest to you. Cynthia let go of her hand.

"Giants!" Alan rubbed the back of his head, only to realize that the external features of these two guys were indeed exactly the same as described in the book, and he had not paid attention to them because he was so panicked that he had not paid attention to them at all. It's a dangerous creature with a danger level of "VD".

"But how did they end up here?" Cynthia stepped out of the camouflage barrier, stunned as she stared in the direction the two giants were running, puzzled.

"That's right...... The only place where giants are suspected to still be left is the westernmost part of the continent, Letri Snow Mountain. Alan followed, and found that the two giants had completely disappeared since the heavy footsteps had disappeared.

"These guys have been around for a long time, but they're in the opposite extreme with the gnomes. Gnomes become short but retain the ability to think, and giants become large and strong, but lose reason and cognition. Cynthia knows more than she reads, "According to the history books, there was a time when giants suddenly appeared in large numbers and slaughtered all living creatures, especially humans and gnomes, and chased after them until they were killed. ”

"Ah......" Hearing this, Alan suddenly understood why the old Seapheus meant by the devil, and based on what had just happened, it was speculated that the drum beat called the devil's heartbeat might be the sound of the giant beating the mountain when he was awakened. For gnomes, giants are naturally brutal, it is easy to kill them, they can be trampled into meat sauce with a single kick, and they are tireless and love to kill, for dwarfs they are truly devilish beings.

"But they don't hunt humans and gnomes to fill their stomachs, but out of pure hatred. Frey adds, "They don't need to eat, their only need is water, so you can see something like steam coming out of them." ”

"Yes, I've heard that they've been cursed from nowhere, and they've become hot and hot, so they've taken refuge in the Lettrysian Mountains. Cynthia nodded.

"But this place is at least a thousand kilometers away from that snow-capped mountain, how could such a terrible thing appear inexplicably?" and back to this question, they realized that they still had no clue after talking for a long time.

"Is it something that's left over from when we drove the giants?"

"Impossible!" Cynthia immediately dismissed the idea, "that history was more than a thousand years ago, and giants didn't have such a long lifespan. ”

"Uh......" Alan scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"It seems that the answer can only be found by entering that door. After pondering for a long time, Cynthia said.

"Hopefully the door hasn't been closed yet. Frey said.

"Hmm. Alan nodded.

The three of them waited for a little longer, and when they realized that the giant really didn't plan to return, they climbed up the stairs again.

The door was still open, but they were all taken aback by what it was in.

Inside the door is a huge cavern with rows of huge pillars standing neatly inside, like a palace. There was only a narrow path on the ground that led straight ahead, and the rest of the place was covered in ice crystals, and there were flower-like things blooming on the ice, similar to those on the door panels. And looking further down, there was something like an altar, carved from a boulder, and there seemed to be something on it, which Alan couldn't see clearly because it was too far away.

The three of them walked in cautiously, cautiously walking in as they looked around.

Frey and Cynthia walked side by side at the front, and Alan had to follow.

Just as they were walking not far from the boulder, the two men in front of them suddenly stopped.

Alan turned his head sideways and looked forward, only to realize what was up there—a man sitting cross-legged with his head down his face from them. On his left hand lay a two-tailed black cat, on his right hand was a lamp that glowed blue, and in front of him lay the long-lost Alyssa.

"Alyssa!" Alan immediately shouted, and the two in front of him tried to run over, but they were grabbed by Frey.

Because as soon as Allen's voice came out, the man with his head down made a move.

She slowly raised her head, and a familiar and pale face was revealed, which made Alan feel shocked again.

"Oh...... I thought who dared to enter my realm, it turned out to be a few of you......" A middle-aged woman's voice sounded, "I wanted to wait until everything was ready to solve you by myself, but I didn't expect you to come to the door in person." ”

"Menissa Frost!" Cynthia whispered.

"Why, did you run in without saying hello to my kids?"

The middle-aged woman in front of her with a cold tone and extremely cold eyes was none other than Menissa Frost.

"Your child?" asked Alan.

"The two brothers I woke up just now...... I even told them to entertain the invaders!" Professor Frost said with a sneer, the expression on his face that Alan had never seen before, "That's my masterpiece...... If it weren't for the limited number of living people I could use for my experiments, I could have made so much more!"

"Your masterpiece?" Alan felt something strange when he heard this.

"Mash the horns of the unicorn, the trunk of the slug, and the roots of the sun tree into cold water and boil them fifteen times, then add the shell of the earthwalker, the claws of the werewolf, and the ...... A living person. Professor Frost looked like he was crazy, smirking in spirit.

The word "living!?" made them shudder, and the three of them seemed to realize something when they heard this.

"This is just one of my little experiments, and I've made another creature out of this similar recipe, you've all seen it......"

"Gnome!?" Alan exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, yes! there they are!" said Professor Frost, as he stepped down from the stone, "but they are the product of failure, refusing to obey me, and short, small, useless garbage!

Alan was completely confused when he heard this. According to what he received from Will, the gnomes were created after an old witch experimented with the Dark Arts a long, long time ago, but now Professor Frost says that both the giant and the gnome are the product of her experiments.

"I knew I had something to do with you!" Cynthia said, "this strange weather, these ice cubes...... And the missing students!"

"Oh, not only did I get here, but I could even guess that I did ......it," Professor Frost sneered, and then stared at Cynthia, "It's worthy of being a child of the Lezbel family, not only has she inherited Xue Lin's talent perfectly, but even her intuition is as sharp as her." ”

Cynthia was taken aback when she heard this, because even she had only recently learned her last name from the elves, and she had always been skeptical about it, but Professor Frost revealed her true identity.

"Why, are you confused?" Professor Frost gave another sneer after seeing Cynthia's expression, and then stared at them viciously, "I think she was the first to discover the experiment I was secretly conducting...... Her distinctive red lightning destroyed all of my experiments and poured a basin of corrosive liquid on me that I was going to use for my experiments, turning me into an old and ugly look......"

"Who the hell are you!?" Hearing this, even Cynthia began to feel a little uneasy.

"Oh, don't worry, I don't really like to reminisce about the past...... Can't we catch up with my old friends, so we can't talk about something pleasant?" Professor Frost stood up, flicking his wand as he spoke, a cold light flew straight towards Cynthia.

Cynthia didn't react at all, and subconsciously wanted to block it with her arm, but it was too late, and the light was already close at hand.

Just as the light was about to touch Cynthia, Frey shouted, "Be careful!", and then jerked her, pushing her away from the path of the cold light.

When they looked back, they saw that the cold light had slammed into the door, freezing an entire door panel into ice......
