Chapter 398 Ethiopian Lizard
The biting cold wind was like a knife blowing on his face, and Brian had to put on a defensive barrier to block the wind and snow in order to withstand the harsh environment here.
The convenience brought by magic made him feel warm all over without any chill even if he didn't put on warm clothes.
He walked directly from the standing stone plain of the Eno Oak Desert towards the highest iceberg group in the north.
Although outsiders always imagine the Great Desert as a simple vast desert, in fact it is composed of a series of continuous deserts of different types.
It transitions from dry sandstorm areas to savannas covered with weathered gravel, then to frozen tundra areas and desolate mountain areas, and finally to the huge glacier group known as the 'Supreme Glacier'.
As Brian hurried on, the originally hot and soft desert began to gradually turn into desolate and rugged rock-scale peaks, and then gradually condensed into ice, until the snow-capped glacial plateau appeared in front of him. Within sight, he just stopped.
He has reached the boundary between the highest glacier and the desert.
Brian was hiding in the defensive barrier, facing the biting cold wind, standing on a glacier fault in a certain mountain range, looking beyond the falling snowflakes into the distance.
The Supreme Glacier is a barren land, not only because of the dangerous natural environment, but also because of various monster groups living in cold areas. The average challenge level is maintained at around level 10 for player adventure teams. Only then do they dare to act on the periphery.
Because in addition to the common frost trolls, winter wolves, and mammoths and many other evil humanoid creatures and ferocious beasts, there are also legendary creatures such as white dragons, shadows of the void, and pale hunters.
And in this vast glacier group, there is also a huge tribe of frost giants living in seclusion. Even legendary professionals who are not magic-casting systems may be buried here if they are not careful.
Of course, this is not dangerous for a strong man like Brian, and the main reason why he stopped was to sense the holy symbol given to him by Seth's clone. The hidden location of the Saluk witch clan.
"This is the Supreme Glacier." Seeing Brian stop and watch, the golden dragon Paralandax couldn't help but sigh in his mind:
"Dozens of A century ago, there were lush forests and plains here, and there were countless ports along the Narrow Sea. Now it has become such a scene. Even the Netherese people regard the Narrow Sea as a life route, and it has been covered by white glaciers. Swallowed.”
"I said, didn't you feel anything strange along the way?" He asked again as if he remembered something.
“What’s so strange?” Brian asked with a look on his face.
“The environmental gap here is too great.” Jin Long said what he discovered:
“Look at the junction where we stand, there are cold glaciers in front of us, and behind us are cold glaciers. It turns out to be the yellow Gobi Desert. This weird environment seems to be forcibly divided by some kind of energy. It doesn't look like it was formed by nature at all."
"And, I am already here. I was vaguely aware of the dead magic energy." He added in a low voice.
"Of course." Brian had obviously noticed the problem here a long time ago and said casually, "Otherwise, the Eno Oak Desert would not have been able to last for dozens of centuries without significant changes."
"Yours It means that Felin Mokui's death-draining spell has polluted this place." Paralandax understood it at once, and he said thoughtfully:
"Looking at it this way, I want to. It is simply impossible to restore this vast desert to the verdure of the Netheril era and rely on magic to melt the highest glacier like High King Telamant. The only way to completely solve the problem is to completely solve the problem of being sealed in the Forbidden Wall of Saron. Without the restraint of this evil energy, even if you ignore it, the highest glacier will gradually melt, and eventually the water resources frozen into the glacier will be returned to the entire desert to realize the greening effect."
"That's probably what it means." Brian did not deny it, but there was a hint of worry in his expression as he looked at the vast snowfield.
Among his current goals, in addition to saving the small world targeted by ancient evil creatures, another goal is to heal the wounds in the Enook Desert, and the key to healing is the Phayling Demon Sunflower.
Originally, he thought that if he wanted to completely eliminate the Felin Demon Kui, he would need to be at least as strong as a high-level legend before he could go to the inside of the Saron Forbidden Wall to find the memory tower of the Felin Demon Kui.
This will undoubtedly take a long time for him to complete.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. As the lost lady Shar further targeted the goddess of magic, even the Felin Demon Kui was involved.
This allowed Brian to come up with a way to quickly eliminate the Phaelim after learning from the ruins of the floating city of the great arcanist Ellando of the Phaelim.
This plan has been implemented as he obtained a large amount of information about the Felin Demon Sunflower. As for whether it will succeed, even he himself cannot guarantee it.
Because he is not the executor of the plan, there are naturally many variables involved.
Of course, even if the plan failed in the end, he did not suffer much loss. Instead, it was like a test that gave him a deeper understanding of the Felin Demon Kui.
Brian no longer thought about it, calmed down, and began to communicate with Seth's holy symbol, asking him to guide him to the location where the Istosefifer witch was sleeping.
At this moment, an angry roar came faintly from the howling wind and snow.
It seemed that Brian's standing position was so conspicuous that it disturbed the indigenous people in the snow-capped mountains. With a roar, several burly and majestic figures ran down from the snow-capped mountains not far away, facing the heavy snow. Giant, the glacier behind him also collapsed, sending up ice dust all over the sky.
These native creatures wield oversized maces and other heavy weapons, have light blue hair, and wear the furs of mammoths, white dragons, or winter wolves around their waists.
Most of the giants are naked, and a small number of giant warriors wear patchwork chain mail shirts or white dragon leather armor, and weird helmets with dragon horns on their heads.
“It’s a frost giant!” The golden dragon Paralandusk’s thoughts became excited:
“I knew I would definitely encounter these guys when I came here, so don’t do anything. Leave it all to me. With my deep integration of arcane fire, I have gradually mastered the ability to cast spells in the soul form. It is not easy to deal with these wastes. "
No wonder. The golden dragon would be so excited to see the frost giant. After all, the hatred between the dragon and the giant can be traced back to the dawn of thirty thousand years.
The dragons and giants that followed the three major creator races fought for control of the world for a thousand years on the continent. In the end, the two races gradually withdrew from the stage of history due to the fierce and tragic battle. Here comes the elven civilization.
Brian nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to the frost giant rushing towards him in the blizzard, and continued to concentrate on trying to communicate with Seth's holy symbol and find the location of the Saluk witch. On the other side, the golden dragon Paralandusk roared loudly through his mind.
All the surrounding frost giants were frightened in place by this soul attack. A few of the weaker ones were even frightened to the point where their legs became weak and they lay on the ground shivering.
Immediately afterwards, hot flame dragon breath spurted out from the mouth of the golden dragon shadow.
The terrifying dragon's breath suddenly raised the surrounding temperature, melting all the ice wherever it passed, like a long spiraling dragon, wrapping all the frost giants in a sea of fire and burning.
After a while, the group of frost giants who were howling in the sea of fire were no longer alive. When the thick smoke wrapped in the wind and snow dissipated, the corpses of the frost giants with their whole bodies charred and black were revealed, lying quietly on the melting ice. There were pools of dark blood oozing out from inside.
This seemingly one-sided battle was not fierce, but as the battle ended, the surrounding glaciers were actually affected and collapsed and broke, like raging waves, carrying ice dust and mist all over the sky. The white-capped mountains rushed down, threatening to completely submerge Brian.
At this time, Brian happened to search for the sleeping location of Saluk Witch Snake through the Holy Emblem.
With a thought, he activated the flying technique and soared into the sky.
Then, under the protection of the defensive barrier, he floated high in the sky against the cold wind, glanced condescendingly at the icebergs in the distance, and said to Jin Long, "Let's go, I have found their location."
"Let's go now."
The shadow of Paralandax hovered around Brian, reluctantly looked at the frost giant team that came to support not far away, and said:
"I haven't had a happy battle in nearly a thousand years, and I plan to take you to find a white dragon's lair and loot it. This is not fun at all."
"Don't waste time here." Brian frowned, holding the Holy Emblem in one hand and pointing to the far north with the other:
"The connection between Saluk and Wuhu is very weak. If it's too late, I'm worried that something unexpected will happen."
"Okay." Jinlong responded helplessly, put away his playful intentions, and turned into a A golden light disappeared into the arcane fire.
Under the guidance of the Holy Emblem, Brian reached the deepest part of the Supreme Glacier without any danger.
Densely packed ice cellars of different sizes here are like honeycombs, scattered on the snow-covered glaciers, and the sleeping place of the Saluk Witch Snake is very likely to be hidden somewhere here. Inside the ice cave.
Faced with this situation, Brian could only endure and float in mid-air, looking for the sleeping place of the Saluk witch in the harsh wind and snow that could block his sight.
The golden dragon Paralandax also turned into a huge phantom surrounding him, exuding the soul shock unique to the true dragon clan from time to time, and was always wary of the indigenous monsters that might emerge from the unknown ice cellar at any time.
After all, in the nearly four hours they spent searching for the witch scorpion, whether it was groups of winter wolves, legendary level pale hunters, or even a white dragon running away with its tail between its legs, it can be said that everything I have experienced it many times, so I naturally don’t dare to be careless.
Brian, who is burdened with a mission, is not in the mood to fight with these things. He usually uses concealment spells to avoid them after noticing their existence in advance.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and Brian stopped beside a glacier canyon that was as deep as a bottomless abyss.
Feeling the hot temperature transmitted by the Holy Emblem in the palm of his hand, he realized that the shaman of the ancient Istosefifer Empire might be hiding inside.
Brian stood there and pondered for a moment. After confirming that there was nothing dangerous enough to threaten him, he adjusted his triggering spells and various buffing spells, and jumped in without hesitation.
When he slowly fell to the ground through levitation, he found that the canyon was very dry, and there was not even any trace of ice and snow erosion.
Feeling the warmth and instructions conveyed by the Holy Emblem, Brian continued walking towards the north of the canyon according to the direction it guided.
"Are you really going to help Seth's clone?" Walking in the silent canyon, the golden dragon who had been silent for a long time suddenly conveyed his thoughts to him.
“What if?” Brian was slightly startled, then smiled nonchalantly, “What’s the problem?”
"No matter what, Seth represents the evil side of the Serpent of the World." As the two of them got closer and closer to the end of the canyon, the golden dragon analyzed him with a solemn expression:
"After all, now The Quetzalcoatl is also a member of the former Okos witch clan. If the clone of Seth is really allowed to regain its strength, as long as he is not stupid, he will never attack the evil god Seth of Mulhorand first. In the Chultan Jungle, the feathered snakes that compete with the evil snake people for survival and expansion will be the first to suffer. By then, the war may completely spread to the Chultan Peninsula.”
“If this is the case, the two of us will. Wouldn't it be an indirect accomplice in causing this disaster?" He reminded vaguely.
"In fact, I have already considered the issue you mentioned." Regarding Paralandusk's concerns, Brian was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Even if Seth doesn't Being swallowed by the bottomless abyss, it is impossible for him to threaten the feathered serpent in the Chult jungle, because Uotah, the father of dinosaurs, will never sit idly by."
He glanced at the end of the road. Canyon, then said, "Besides, I don't think the sleeping Istosefifer witch will help their former god. This is the main reason why I dare to take on the task of Seth's clone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong fishy smell wafted over.
Immediately afterwards, Brian noticed that densely packed indigenous monsters suddenly appeared in many cracks and caves on both sides of the canyon.
A closer look revealed that these were a group of lizard people who were good at jumping.
They jumped and rushed down from the various cliffs of the canyon, vaguely surrounding him, holding various weapons and making threatening noises.
"These are the Ethiopian lizards!" The golden dragon thought in surprise, "It turns out that they are not extinct, but actually live in the canyon deep in the highest glacier."
"The creator of the Ethiopian lizards is Istosefifer." Faced with the menacing lizard people, Brian remained unmoved and said calmly, "This means that the Ethiopian lizards The denser the place, the more likely it is that the resting place of Istosefifv is hidden."
"It seems we are in the right place." He smiled and raised Seth. The Holy Emblem given to him met this group of Ethiopian lizards who looked fierce but did not dare to get too close.
