Chapter 186: Meet the Treasure Adventure Group Again
The snowstorm finally passed, and it was time to set off on the road again in the starry night. Ixusen carried his luggage, Alice was fully armed, and Bing Zhixie was lightly dressed. He glanced at the starry sky and ran away quickly.
After this day of training, Alice's physique has indeed improved a lot. After running with Bing Zhixie for several hours, she didn't feel tired and could barely keep up.
Seeing the obvious changes before and after training, Alice herself felt happy. She was so happy that she could even hum a song: "I vibrate my powerful wings, and the bottom is constantly sliding. Pastures, willows, winding rivers. Here are the moats, and there are gardens where my beloved walks. But when I go back, I must be careful lest I lose the magic book that is strapped to my belt. Flying too high, and there are mountains, I barely. Struggling up to the ridge above the forest, the forest rusty with chestnut and oak leaves. There, towards the birds carved on the dead branches, an invisible hand hurled me down by magic. she keeps me in her On the glove, at this moment, an eagle with bloodstained feathers, the 'witch of the desert'. She found the spell printed on my book ①"
"What is it that you chant?" Ishuson, who was following behind, asked.
"I don't know, it seems to be the poetry the teacher taught me." Alice shook her head: "I'm just happy."
"I can see it."
Bingzhixie said coldly : "If you are not afraid of attracting wolves, just sing."
Alice stumbled and almost fell down.
“What a humorless guy.” Ishuson muttered, steadying Alice and continuing to move forward.
As I was running, I suddenly saw a fire in front of me. There was probably someone there when there was fire. Bingzhixie thought: "Could it be Jack and the others? It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?"
In fact, just as Bingzhixie thought it was such a coincidence, it was indeed Jack and their black servants. The Corps is the treasure adventure group.
"Hey, we meet again, guys." Jack waved to him and walked forward with a smile.
Bing Zhixie saw that some of them were tending their wounds, sorting out medicines, etc. It seemed that they had encountered a battle, and it was a very dangerous battle.
"Hello little girl, there is also this centaur lady Ishuson." Jack behaved like a gentleman.
Alice was furious: "Why do you call me little girl? I am different now from before. I can be an adult on my own." She made a fist gesture as she spoke.
"Huh? Sir." Jack glanced at Alice and then at Bing Zhixie with something else in his eyes.
Eshuson knew that Jack had misunderstood, and quickly covered Alice's mouth, fearing that she would say something random again.
Bing Zhixie asked: "What's wrong? I remember that you and your group have sleds and are taking a different route from us, so you shouldn't be so procrastinating."
"Hey ~! Please take a seat." Jack and Bing Zhixie sat down and said, "We ran into the Ice and Snow Fairy Walker just a few days ago. We fought hard and were entangled by them until we escaped here. Get rid of them.”
Alice interrupted curiously and asked: "What is the ice and snow fairy Walker?"
Bingzhixie said: "It is a small little fairy, fifty or sixty centimeters tall, living in groups, good at ice and snow magic and many other things. The skill allows them to move very fast in the snow, and they can be used in large numbers, usually not less than a hundred. The ice and snow magic they cast together is quite powerful."
"That's right." Jack said: "We encountered more than three hundred of them this time, but luckily no one was seriously injured or died."
"Those nasty little monsters are really annoying." Bertha, who used darts, was carrying an ice fairy. The corpse came over: "Here, little girl, this is it."
"Ah, so ugly, I thought she was a very beautiful ice elf girl." Alice said disappointedly.
Bertha smiled: "The kind of thing you are talking about can only be found in your fairy tales."
Jack opened the map and said: "When you enter the Arctic Line, the little monster will appear. Brother, be careful if you go there."
"Call me Bing." Bing Zhixie looked at the map in his hand. It was much more detailed than the map in his own hand. He could draw everything. It's clear, even the contour lines are there.
Jack said: "This is a map specially made by our Adventure Guild. It is generally difficult to buy on the market. Brother Bing, your map must not be as good as mine."
" Yeah." Bing Zhixie 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 of them here. They are very difficult to deal with." Warcraft, we underestimated these little guys.”
Bing Zhixie looked at where he was pointing and saw that it was still far away from Danluer, and couldn't help but sigh.
Jack smiled and said: "You are going to Danrer. It is difficult to walk here without a guide dog. But we only bought one guide dog and can't give it to you."
< br>"It doesn't matter."
"The better way for you now is to turn to the west. Because the place we are now looks like a plain pine forest, but it is actually in On the high ground, the terrain on the west and east sides will gradually drop, and you may encounter unburied water there, and you can follow the road. On the east side, although the terrain is also relatively low, there is Holy Snow beyond that. There is no way to get out of the mountains." Jack smiled: "But the best way is to follow us. We have guide dogs, which is safer."
Jack's cousin came out of the tent and saw Bing Zhixie again. She seemed very unhappy: "Why are you here again? Do you have any ulterior motives?"
"You..." Alice was very angry after hearing this, and just when she was about to retort, she heard Jack scolding her.
"Sando, why are you so rude! This is a friend, you know?" Jack finished scolding and asked: "How is Carter's injury?"
" I've already taken care of it for him."
Jack said: "Then go see other people! Also, if I hear you say something like this again, don't talk to me again in your life! ”
Sando glanced at Bing Zhixie and the others unhappily and left angrily.
Alice was secretly stunned. This leader, who seemed so forthright and gentle, could be so vicious when he lost his temper.
Jack apologized: "I'm sorry, my cousin is neglectful and her behavior makes you laugh."
It's best not to talk about embarrassing things, Bing Zhixie put aside the topic, He simply asked directly: "How are you finding the treasure?"
Jack was stunned and smiled: "Little brother, you have a lot of them. Such a frank question shows that you are calm. To be honest, you are still calm. No specific location found. ”
"Do you have any clues?" Bing Zhixie asked next.
"Yes." Jack said: "There is a clue, and it is inferred from the riddle."
Bing Zhixie cut him short: "There is no need to say the riddle. We are not very interested in treasures, but we really want to go with you for a while, which can save us some time."
Jack smiled and said: "That's the best, and that's exactly what I meant. You three, master and servant, can walk in the forest and snowy fields, so you must be some capable people. To be together, we also have a helping hand."< br>
Ixusen forced a smile. Bing Zhixie was a capable person, but she and her master Alice... In fact, it can only be said that they were lucky and did not encounter any powerful monsters along the way. Otherwise, if Bing Zhixie did not take action against a monster like the Snow Giant, it would be very dangerous.
Bingzhixie said: "I heard you say that the ice and snow fairies are so powerful. It would be very dangerous for us to walk alone, but it is safer to go together."
"Okay, okay." Jack said: "As for my cousin, please You've been more tolerant, she will never say that again."
Bingzhi smiled evilly.
Alice suddenly asked: "Since you know the danger, why don't you bring more people? Do you only have nine people in your mercenary group?"
Jack said: "This little girl It's really interesting to ask. There are a total of forty-five people in our group, and nine of us here are elites. It's not that we don't want to bring them with us, but the material burden of the nine of us is very heavy. If we want to bring forty-five people, it will be too expensive. And having more people doesn't necessarily make things easier. It's too weak to stay here. The only thing in the team is to drag others down, and no one wants to be a burden to others, right? ”
"It's a burden." Alice glanced at Bing Zhixie, fearing that her master would look at her at this time. But luckily not.
Jack stood up and said: "We need to repair for two days before we can leave, and it will also delay your stay for two more days. I will go check on my companion's injuries. You sit down and just drink the beer."
