Chapter 152 Do you want to eat sweets?
Galantos Snow Mountain, also known as Snow Drop Flower Mountain.
The nearby village, where Mrs. Weiss lives, is named after this mountain.
The mountainside and above are covered with snow all year round, and only the foot of the mountain in the south will briefly thaw when summer comes.
It was November at this time, and the foot of the mountain was also white.
The cold wind blew and was biting to the bone.
Fine snow particles are blown by the wind and roll on the surface of the snow like fine sand on a beach.
So even on a sunny day, the footprints left by people going up the mountain will be quickly buried.
At that time, it will become very difficult for people on the mountain to find a way down the mountain, or for people at the foot of the mountain to go up the mountain for search and rescue.
In addition, the further up the mountain you go, the thicker the snow becomes and the stronger the wind becomes.
It will be very difficult to walk normally at that time. If you are not careful, you may fall down and be buried in the snow, and sleep here forever.
However, even under such harsh conditions, Jimmy still walked hard forward, looking left and right for the herb that carried the hope of their family.
Her little face was already red from the cold, and even though she was wearing a thick cotton coat and a hat with a cotton coat belt, she could not block the biting cold wind.
"Devotion, Devotion...white bell-like flowers..."
She repeated the characteristics of the medicinal herbs in a low voice, as if to cheer herself up, or as if she was worried that she would miss the white flowers in the snow.
If you find the medicinal herbs, you can cure your father. If you cure your father, your mother will not have to work so hard, and your brother will not have to hide and cry secretly.
Children sometimes do things with clear purpose and do not consider the consequences, or they think that bad things will not happen.
That's what Jimmy is like, she just wants to use her own efforts to make this family return to what it was before.
Hunter, who is chasing his sister's back, probably has a similar logic.
When dad is sick, it is up to him to protect mom and sister, and it is up to him to cure dad.
Snowy mountains are very dangerous places, and I cannot let my sister go there alone.
Two small figures staggered on this snow-capped mountain, looking for the target they wanted to find.
"Found it!" Sister Jimmy's eyes lit up.
Under a slightly protruding rock, several emerald green stems and leaves seemed to poke out from the cracks in the stone, with small white flowers hanging on them swaying in the wind.
Although surrounded by snow, they still show vigorous vitality.
Jimmy jogged over excitedly and even fell down.
She didn't care that her clothes were stained with snow, and she didn't even bother to stand up. She moved forward almost on all fours, carefully peeled away the snow, and gently pulled out the herbs and part of the roots.
One after another, Jimmy put the herbs into his clothes, as if he was gathering hope for his father's recovery bit by bit.
After a while, Jimmy stood up with hope, but staggered a little.
Her physical strength was severely exhausted, but she still walked one step at a time. She had to work hard to bring the herbs back.
"elder sister!"
The familiar voice made Jimmy wonder if he was hallucinating because he was too tired.
But the silly kid in front of him with his arms folded, his neck hunched, his nose red and his snot almost frozen, isn't he his stupid brother?
"Hunter?! Why are you here!"
"Of course I'm here to find my sister!" Hunter sniffed hard, but didn't move. "Mom said, the mountains are very dangerous. I want to protect my sister."
Jimmy didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh. As a person who sneaked up the mountain, he didn't seem to have the right to reprimand his brother, right?
"Idiot... I found the medicinal herb. Let's go back to save dad."
"Sister...sister..." Hunter's eyes widened, looking behind Jimmy in horror.
"What's wrong?" Jimmy turned around and his body froze.
A monster as big as a bear, with a head like a rabbit and glowing red eyes was standing behind her.
"Laban..."
Labang's claw arms are swung down, trying to kill, stun or scratch the prey. This is their common hunting method.
Hunter rushed out and pushed Jimmy away, but he was swept by Labang's fingertips. His cotton coat was torn, and his whole body rolled several times on the snow. A little bit of blood was sprinkled on the snow.
"Hunter!"
Jimmy lay on the snow, ignoring Labang behind him, and crawled towards Hunter on his hands and knees.
But she desperately discovered that another pack of wolves appeared behind Hunter!
Jimmy's face turned pale, his lips were trembling, it was over...
"Ha--" Labang let out a warning breath, but the three wolves pounced on them without any hesitation.
Jimmy watched blankly as the three wolves jumped over Hunter and rushed toward Labang, not even noticing that one of them had two heads.
The two ordinary wolves bit Labang's arms, while the two-headed wolf jumped up, pressed its claws on Labang's shoulders, bit each other's ears, one on the left and the other on the right, and tore them apart.
An ordinary wolf was thrown away, but Labang soon fell to the ground, dripping with blood.
Jimmy crawled cautiously toward Hunter, and then saw more of Labang.
Laban...is a social animal.
Jimmy remembered what everyone in the village knew.
She heard the howls of the wolves and closed her eyes in despair, but the pain she expected did not come.
Jimmy opened his eyes and saw a tall figure from behind.
The man's arm was like a monster, standing in front of her, holding the claw of Labang that was attacking her.
"Are you okay?" It was a deep and powerful male voice, sounding like a tough guy and feeling safe.
Before Jimmy could speak, he heard another voice.
"It's not good. This child is injured and bleeding a lot. You should support him first." This time it was a gentler voice.
"That's a bit of a tricky amount, but...manly!"
Jimmy was surprised to see that Labang, who was as big as a giant bear, was thrown directly out by that person!
"Crimson mark tree monster!"
"Crown of Embers! That girl...forget it, you have one too, Crown of Embers!"
Jimmy saw a red light surrounding Hunter, and then the wounds on his body slowly stopped bleeding.
After being pointed at by the big brother, a red light appeared on her body. Although she didn't know why, she felt warm.
"The effect of Ember Crown in treating this kind of trauma seems to be quite obvious."
Rhodes didn't even know that this thing could keep people warm. He didn't want to waste a second and commanded the tree monster to give the Labans some warmth.
The tree monster waved its front paws and slapped three Labangs away.
Those who were thrown or knocked away by Elfman could still move after struggling a few times.
But the Labans who were shot away by the tree monster were already kicking their legs when they landed.
It looks like a casual blow, but its attack power is quite powerful.
But Rhodes still reluctantly sent it back to Summoner's Canyon, and replaced it with other wild monsters to fight.
This thing consumes too much, and he needs to save more magic power to prevent this little boy from having an accident.
After the wild monsters and Elfman entangled the Labang group, Rhodes quickly took out the bandages and trauma medicine from his backpack, and while bandaging the little boy, he comforted the little girl:
"Are your names Jimmy and Hunter? Don't be afraid, we are magicians invited by your mother, and we will take you back.
The child's bleeding has stopped. He just needs to sleep. It's okay. We'll go back right away. "
After quickly bandaging Hunter's wound, Rhodes took out a spare cotton coat and wrapped the child up to prevent him from freezing.
After thinking about it, he took out another piece of chocolate from his backpack and gestured to Jimmy: "Want to eat it?"
Snowdrops represent the hope of life and the strength to move forward courageously.
Devotion actually means devotion, which means love, enthusiasm and care.
