Liku patio
While having dinner at Renault's house, the three of them listened to Renault tell him something about the Bantu people.
It turned out that the Bantu originally lived in the largest city in the Strou Mountains, the snow capital of Amlos. However, due to the awakening of the ice dragon Skasa, a new crisis has appeared in the snow-capped mountains, and even some Bantu warriors are willing to be loyal to it. Everyone had no choice but to come to the snowy region of Ston to take refuge, leaving only some warriors on the ridge to defend against the threat from the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains.
The Bantu are divided into three tribes, namely the Walker, the Kunik and the Toulouse, with the Walker being the most numerous and the Kunnik being the least.
The three totems are different, namely the wolf, the hare, and the bison, while Renaud and Barrena both belong to the Toulouse clan, the deputy patriarch Orka is a Walker, and Mintai is a hybrid of the Walker and Kunicke clans. The three tribes united to form the Bantu.
However, despite the unity of the Bantu people, under the evil magic of Skarsa, there are defectors, and the monsters have become more irritable than before, and the Bantu people are threatened at the time of the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain, so they can only abandon the capital and come to the snowy land of Ston.
Moreover, the deputy patriarch of Orka knew that the Bantu tribe was powerless to fight against the ice dragon Skasa in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, so it seemed that he intended to lead the Bantu tribe to attack the principality and seize the land.
When asked why they did not turn to the Duchy for help, Renaud said that the Bantu people had always been xenophobic, that there were only a few enthusiastic people like him and Barrena, and that many more, like Orka, would never turn to strangers for help. In addition, the Bantu have always been warlike, and they did not pay attention to the warnings of the principality at all.
Now that the three of them are willing to help the Bantu tribe solve the ice dragon Skasa, Renaud is also very worried, because the ice dragon is extremely powerful, even if the warriors of the Bantu tribe are united, they cannot defeat it, and it is really difficult for a strong man to rely on only three adventurers.
"If the Bantu can unite again and fight Skazar to the death, there may be a chance. Charlotte agrees with Renault.
"Although your strength is recognized by our warriors, you must prove yourself further in order to have appeal. "In the depths of the snowy mountains, there are many monsters in ambush, they are all Skasa's men, and if you can destroy them, you will definitely give confidence to the Bantu people." ”
With that, Renault took out a map and laid it on the table in front of him, which was the map of the Struo Mountains, and he pointed to the northwest side of the map and said, "This is the Snowy Land of Ston." ”
The three of them leaned over and looked at the map, only to see that the 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountain was extremely large, and it was divided into many large and small mountain ranges, and in the center of the mountain range, a large city was drawn, which seemed to be their capital Amros.
Renault pointed to a mountain range near the Ston Snow Field, and said, "This mountain is called Mount Kanak, which is the habitat of the ice dragon Skaza, and it is not too far from the Ston Snow Land. Actually, we also wanted to take refuge in the east, but the east was the territory of the empire, so ......"
When Charlotte heard the word Empire, she couldn't help but "snort" and said, "The Empire is a group of beasts, and if you go, it will be more dangerous than in Skarza." ”
"Yes. It is said that 500 years ago, when Skarza first descended on the 10,000-year-old Snow Mountain, the Bantu people migrated to the territory of the Empire, resulting in a 'Snow Battle'. The Bantu tribe was defeated by the Empire and fled back to the snowy mountains, and the Imperial army pursued them, but because they got lost, they came to the front of the Skassar, and were completely annihilated by the Skasa!"
Hearing this, Laurent frowned and thought: This Scasa has such a strong strength?
Later, Skasa entered a long hibernation, and the empire did not dare to go deep into the snowy mountains, so the two sides were safe. Now that Skarsa has woken up again, the deputy patriarch does not want to repeat the mistakes of five hundred years ago, so he has taken us to the borders of the duchy for refuge. ”
"Anyway, we now know where Skasa is, let's get it done!" Thorde looked at the map, and was already eager to try!
Renault shook his head: "No, you are not his opponent, but you can eliminate Skasa's minions first." ”
He pointed to the west of the map: "This place is called Liku Tianjing, and it is in the low valley of the mountain range, so you should destroy the monsters here first!"
——————————————
Afterwards, the three of them went up the mountain again, with the purpose of raiding the Riku patio.
They went up the mountain again and found a tunnel in the snowy mountain, which seemed to be shaped by ice, and was surrounded by ice.
There was silence in the tunnel, and from time to time there was the sound of ice crushing falling to the ground.
Except for the part of the snow that was blown in by the wind at the door, there was no snow inside, and the stone floor was not slippery, so the three of them walked faster than outside.
Through the tunnel, the three of them came to the bottom of the valley, and when they looked up, the snow-capped mountains formed a small crack, only a trace of light penetrated, causing the entire valley floor to be very dark, and therefore, there was no snow here, because the snow that drifted in from that crack had already melted, but the terrain was extremely terrainous, and the cold wind was howling, but it was colder than the mountain.
Then the slightest light from above, the three of them saw the monster that appeared in front of them!
It was a Golem monster. Charlotte had gone on an adventure in the Sky City, and naturally she had seen the stone giants of the Sky City. Like the ones there, the Golems had no legs, like a large stone with a head and hands, a "chest" and hands and armor-like ornaments. Although they have no legs, they have huge hands and can walk with alternating support from their arms. But the difference is that the upper body of these golems is not ordinary gray or silver, but that crystal clear blue.
These blue stone giants moved aimlessly, leaving a faint mist behind them, and it seemed that these were frost stone giants who had completed their "special evolution" on the snowy mountains.
"Let's fight, then!" Thorde was already eager to try, for to him, a stone could be easily shattered, without any pressure, and with that, he turned around and flew up, kicking it into the middle of the golem's body!
Sure enough, this kick instantly shattered a part of the stone giant's back, causing it to "stumble" forward, and then turned back, and was hit by a punch, and his body was shattered into countless ice chips and flew out, instantly forming a large hole in the stone giant's body, and then, the stone giant collapsed.
At the same time, Laurent and Charlotte also began to act, and before the many Golems could react, they made a move to kill two, and then, the three of them easily dodged the Golem's attack and counterattacked them, quickly eliminating the Golems one by one.
After confirming that there were no other enemies around, the three of them began to move forward again, but they saw a huge humanoid figure not far ahead!
It was a strange-looking golem with the same blue-and-white body, but with the exception of the stone body, it had a base of ice under it and an ice pick in the shape of a crown on its head, as if it were declaring itself to be the "king" of the place.
"Ice Giant, Riku. Charlotte silently said its name, which was what Renault told them. This ice giant Riku has always been entrenched in the "Liku Patio" named after him, and is a very dangerous monster in the first place, but now, it has officially become the right-hand man of the ice dragon Skasa, leading many ice giants to threaten the lives of the Bantu people living in the snowy mountains.
That's why Renault commissioned three people to destroy it!
"Then let's do it!" Thorde had already had experience fighting the Golem in the Sky City, and when he saw the behemoth in front of him, he felt that it was just the same as the Golem. After saying that, he was the first to rush over!
Just as Thorde was within a few meters of Liku, the other party also spotted him, only to see Liku turn around suddenly, and then, a cold air swept over, so that Thorde had to stop, his feet were tightly gripping the ground, his joints were slightly bent, and he bent down and stretched out his hand to resist the wind pressure.
"Cut ......" Thorde used the outside of his arm to resist the cold wind, and his arm was blown out of a layer of frost, and he lost consciousness for a while, so he had to retreat.
"I see, it doesn't just use brute force...... Charlotte summoned the Demon Sword of Fire, and then slashed out with an instantaneous three: "A flash!"
The sword aura of the flames slashed across Riku's body, but it only added three insignificant scratches to its abdomen!
"It's pretty hard......"
Laurent also jumped over with a spear in his heart, and threw a shot from the sky, which was "Xingyun Falling"!
The Phantom Spear stabbed into Riku's body, but only sank into it for about ten centimeters before stopping, and quickly disappeared.
At this time, Liku finally began to fight back, it opened its mouth on its head, and began to inhale widely! The three of them were constantly drawn towards Liku by the air current, and then, Liku spewed out a cold breath to attack, and the nearest Laurent bore the brunt, was completely hit by the cold air, flew out upside down, and hit Thorde, who was the second closest, and the two fell to the ground and slid out on the ground!
This blow directly made Laurent faint and lose his combat effectiveness, and Thorde was also affected by the cold ice, and he barely stood up.
"Told, you're watching Laurent there, I'll deal with this monster alone!" and Charlotte, who was the furthest away and completely unharmed, shouted.
“...... I'll help you after a while!" Thorde also felt that he needed to warm himself up before getting up, and at the same time, he also tugged at Laurent's clothes and dragged him towards a safer place.
Then, it's time for Charlotte to face off against the Ice Giant Riku!
