Chapter 331 Snowy Night
The improvement of Zhou Zhongshan’s star level relieved Zhou Xuna’s anxiety to a certain extent after learning that his side had suffered heavy casualties.
From the time he was summoned to now, Zhou Xu found that improving the star level was really not an easy task.
This fierce battle probably pushed Zhou Chongshan's physical strength and willpower to the limit, and only then did he successfully break through the two-star bottleneck in both endurance and mental attributes, reaching the three-star level.
It is a good thing that the star rating can be improved, but the cost of the improvement is a bit painful, which makes Zhou Xu's mood at the moment really contradictory.
After adjusting their mood, with Chitose acting as a bodyguard and Zhou Chongshan guiding the way, the group arrived at the destination smoothly.
After hearing the noise and seeing clearly that it was the rescue team headed by Zhou Xu, Li Ce, Ye Jinghong, Zhuo Ge and Silk all became energetic.
For them, Zhou Xu's arrival was like a shot of cardiotonic, making their emotions more exciting.
At this point in time, although the snow has not gotten heavier yet, considering the condition of their wounded, if rescue is delayed, there is no guarantee that they will not die in this snowy night.
Now, this worry can be temporarily put aside.
"Quick! Get everyone on the oxcart, let's leave quickly!"
Zhou Xu doesn't plan to linger here for too long. As it gets late at night on the grassland, the temperature gets lower, and it's still snowing. , there is no guarantee that something will happen to the seriously injured soldiers, so it is safest to rush back to the village as soon as possible.
During this period, Hilke saw him coming, ran up quickly, grabbed him and asked him.
"How is the village, our village?"
Looking at Hilke's appearance, Zhou Xu had a flash of hesitation in his heart, but in the end he decided to tell the truth.
Anyway, this matter can't be kept secret for long. If he doesn't tell it at this time, it might cause him some trouble.
"I don't know the specific situation very well. I only know that the large army of lizardmen captured the village."
Hilk looked collapsed when he got the news, but he didn't Do something out of control.
On the way here, he had actually learned some things from the Zhouchong Mountain Pass. Seeing how Silk looked like this, he must have recognized the reality. This was something for him. Good thing.
“Anyway, you should go to our village to take shelter first, otherwise with this weather, you will probably be in bad luck if you stay in the wild.”
As Zhou Xu spoke, he personally pulled the collapsed Hilke up from the ground and walked towards the bullock cart nearby.
Silk, on the other hand, acted like a walking corpse throughout the whole process, allowing Zhou Xu to place him on the bullock cart.
Long before Zhou Xu and his rescue team arrived, Li Ce and Ye Jinghong had already gathered all the people and horses together, providing a lot of convenience for their rescue team's work. .
After everyone was settled, the group embarked on the return journey.
By the time they arrived at Prairie Village, it was already close to midnight.
But this night, it was obvious that none of them had to sleep.
Before departure, Zhou Xu had already given orders to the village, asking them to boil hot water and prepare food in advance.
Now under this snowy night, with the return of this group of wounded, the whole village became completely busy.
At the same time, the lizardman army is here.
After tying down the elven village, the lizardman leader looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky. His body tensed up unconsciously, and his face became a little ugly.
As a clan of lizardmen, their main living environment is the tropical rainforest.
Through the energy channel, when they first came here, the season was late autumn, and the climate in their living environment was already very different, making them feel obvious discomfort.
Under this premise, the temperature difference between day and night on the grassland is still large, which further aggravates the discomfort. This is also the main reason why although they had night vision before, they did not like to take action after dark. reason.
Of course, the lizard man's physical fitness is still strong, and nothing major will happen in a short period of time.
Based on this premise, the lizardman leader originally wanted to win a quick victory. In fact, their actions were already relatively fast. Who would have thought that the climate here would get colder faster. For those who are not naturally adapted to cold climates, if the temperature drops further, the risks they need to bear will skyrocket.
Want to bet? Are you betting that the climate here won't get any colder?
He didn't dare to risk the lives of so many lizards and himself.
If the bet is wrong, they may all die in the cold winter. This is probably the most unworthy way to die.
He would rather die on the battlefield than die so worthlessly.
His eyes swept over the elven village that was basically reduced to ruins...
[This trip has yielded some results. The high priest can also give an explanation. The rest of the matter must wait for this. Let’s wait until the weather gets warmer. 】
Thinking of this, the lizardman leader gave a deep order.
"Send the order and retreat to the edge of the world as quickly as possible!"
Before attacking the elven village, the lizard soldiers in the large army were basically resting in place. I have regained a little strength.
At this moment, facing this order from the lizardman leader, although the lizardmen were very tired, they unexpectedly did not express their dissatisfaction.
The climate here makes them very uncomfortable. Snow is falling in the sky, and the temperature has been dropping after nightfall. Many lizard soldiers have begun to shiver.
Faced with such an environment, they didn’t even need the lizard leader to urge them, they all wanted to leave quickly.
【No, this efficiency is still too slow. 】
Thinking of this, the lizardman leader’s gaze fell directly on the giant beast not far away.
At that time, dinner was being prepared in the elf village, and now a lot of this food had entered the belly of this giant beast.
After a big meal, the giant beast was in a much better mood.
"Get ready, let's climb on the backs of the armored dragon and the monitor lizard and speed up!"
Although the monitor lizard has explosive power, it does not last long, and the armored dragon, even No explosive power.
But whether it is an armored dragon or a monitor lizard, they all have one advantage in common, and that is endurance.
It would definitely be more efficient for the lizard people to squeeze into the armored dragons and monitor lizards than to run by themselves.
This is great. The original "bus" armored dragon, after being covered with "car-riding" lizard people, directly transformed into a train from a certain Asan Kingdom.
To a certain extent, the scene is also spectacular.
During this period, the lizardman commander had not thought about the Velociraptors who had left before, but at this time he obviously did not have the energy to find them, so he could only blow the retreat horn and rush to the edge of the world. .
I believe that the Velociraptors know what to do after feeling the changes in the climate here.
Thanks to the excellent physical strength of the armored dragon and the giant lizard, they successfully reached the edge of the world, but the velociraptor cavalry was completely missing. This made the lizardman commander's heart sink, but he had no time to wait any longer. .
“Let’s begin.”
As he spoke, a green lizard man holding an animal bone staff in his hand and wearing a feather belt on his head jumped directly over there and said, He also chanted an incomprehensible tune.
He danced for nearly ten minutes. During this time, he became visibly weaker, as if his entire body was about to be drained dry.
Before he was completely drained, there was finally movement in the position where he danced the Great God. The space began to rotate and twist, and finally formed an energy channel in front of them.
"Withdraw!"
There was no time to wait, the lizardmen commander gave an order, and the lizardmen quickly poured into the energy channel and left the world here.
