The sky in the north was gloomy, the clouds stirred faintly, and there were more snowflakes in the wind. Everything indicated that a blizzard was coming.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, Allen and his party arrived at Cold Wind Gorge. Not long after entering the canyon, traces of the Saber Demon were discovered. It was hard to imagine what their purpose was in the wilderness at the end of winter, but it would not be a good thing for humans no matter what. Allen continued to find some traces and followed them to the outside of an ice cave. These holes eroded by the wind and snow would be covered with a thick layer of frost and snow in winter, and there were traps everywhere inside. In some places that seemed to be flat ground, there might be a gap that led to an unknown place, but it was blocked by frost and thin ice.
However, due to the environment of Nether Domain Star, a glacier like this would be warmer than the ground if it was a hundred meters underground. Therefore, when winter came, the external Saber Demons would often hide under the crypts and use the warmth from the earth's core to survive the winter.
The nests of the Demons in the mountains would only go down, not up.
Allen made a careful gesture and went into the ice cave first. The three people behind them entered one after another. Not long after they entered … The howling of the wind in the Cold Wind Gorge intensified, and large masses of snow and fist-sized hailstones began to sweep through the place. The snowballs were one thing, but the hailstones were like bombs, causing the entire Frost Crown Glacier to rumble incessantly.
After the blizzard, who knew how many mountains would be smashed full of holes. Hail was the main culprit of the many ice caves on this glacier. After it smashed through the mountain, the cold wind continued to blow, and after a long time, the mountain became like this.
Allen and the others climbed down an oblique tunnel. They didn't dare to light up their lights for fear that they would attract the attention of the Saber Demon under the refraction of the ice and snow. He only lit up the fluorescent stick and stuck it in his chest pocket, revealing a corner of it, illuminating the area.
This passageway was covered in ice and snow. Anyone who was inside would feel the chill. Furthermore, the ground was slippery, and one would slip if they were not careful. In particular, the angle of the passageway was slanted downward, so they had to be even more careful when climbing up.
Suddenly, a strange howl sounded from behind him. Bloy thought that the Saber Demon had appeared. In the passageway, he suddenly turned his head. His feet slipped, and his whole body fell forward uncontrollably. Instantly, people bumped into each other, and the few of them quickly slid down. Fortunately, the few of them were of high quality and didn't shout in shock. Especially Lucy, whose face was pale, but she didn't shout out a single word. It was very rare.
Allen was at the front, desperately trying to stop the slide. However, the slope was too oblique, and there was nothing to climb. However, the slope was too oblique, and there was nothing. He snorted and Qian Jun fiercely stabbed into the ground. With a muffled groan, Qian Jun stabbed into the ground. The frost-covered ground was stabbed into by Qianjun like cheese. Allen had just gripped the hilt of his saber tightly when he was thrown out of the void by inertia.
"Catch him!" Allen shouted softly as a figure flew over his head. He reached out with his free hand and grabbed Broy's arm.
Bro, "Brow" Brow King Dragon with "Brow."'E Bro. At last Wilick grabbed Lucy's hands from head to toe, and the four of them hung from the mountain wall at the end of the passage.
Welik grabbed Lucy's hands from head to toe, and the four of them hung on the mountain wall at the end of the passageway. A ball of fluorescent light fell down and first hit a protruding mountain rock. Frost and snow could still be seen spreading. He saw a ball of fluorescent light fall, first hitting a protruding mountain rock, and the frost and snow could still be seen spreading. Rolling down, the frost and snow gradually reduced, revealing the bare rocks of the mountain. With the help of the fluorescent light, the pool seemed to be very deep. It should be some kind of underground river. With the help of the fluorescent light, it seemed that the pool was very deep. It should be an underground river vein.
"Throw me there." Lucy looked at the protruding rock.
Allen nodded. He adjusted the angle and led everyone in the direction of the rock. After a few back and forth, William let go, and Lucy slanted lightly and stepped right on the stone. However, the rocks were smooth, and she almost slipped. Fortunately, he lowered his center of gravity in time, and his entire body was almost lying on the ground, so he didn't fall.
After Lucy landed, Welik used his Blazing Gloves to shoot out a faint blue flame, melting the nearby ice and snow. Then, he inserted his fingers into the crevices of the rocks, so that Broy didn't need to carry him anymore. As a result, Broy was able to free his hand to untie the axe behind him. He stuck the axe into the mountain wall to fix his body. Allen immediately retracted his arm and pulled out a rope from his backpack. He first tied it firmly to the hilt of Qianjun's saber, then pulled the rope down and came to the stone where Lucy was.
He waved his hand and Lucy jumped onto him. The two of them hugged each other tightly. Allen released the rope with one hand and the two of them landed safely on the ground. After William and Bloy also used the rope to reach the ground, Allen shook the rope forcefully. Qianjun immediately broke out of the stone, raising a cloud of frost sand and stones that fell into the pool not far away. Qianjun buzzed and fell down with the sound of wind and thunder.
Allen stretched out his hand and slashed sideways, removing the tremendous force carried by Qianjun's fall. A gust of saber wind rose out of thin air, buzzing endlessly in the belly of the mountain.
Footsteps came from the depths of the mountain.
Allen frowned and made a hidden gesture. He and Lucy hid behind a few stalagmites, while Broy and William dispersed and found a few reclining rocks to use as a mask. Just as he hid, flames appeared. Two Saber Demons appeared twenty meters away with torches in their hands. Behind them was a deep passageway that seemed to lead elsewhere.
The Saber Demon shone the torch and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he turned around and returned.
After they left, the four of them came out of their hiding place. Allen said, "Wait for me here."
He wanted to scout alone. It wasn't necessarily a good thing to have more people in this place. The few of them had no objections. Allen untied his backpack, took off his camouflage uniform, and left with Qianjun. He drilled into the passageway that the Saber Demon had left. This passageway was only six to seven meters away, and flames could be seen at the exit. Allen carefully probed forward. The passageway was a slope. Flames flickered beneath the slope, and a few Demons were making a bonfire on the ground.
There was a passageway behind the Demon Cultivator, but he didn't know where it led to. Allen asked himself that he didn't have the ability to kill these Demons at the same time without making a single sound, so he dispelled his plan to kill them down the slope. His gaze swept around and saw a few dark gaps in the mountain wall above, as if they could lead to the depths.
Allen silently touched a gap and rushed inside. At first, his line of sight was dim, but it gradually lit up, as if there was a flame shining in from outside. Obviously, the mountain wall here was very thin. Moreover, he began to hear the sound. Allen determined the direction of the sound and crawled in the direction of the sound. After crawling for a few minutes, he stopped and the voice of the Saber Demon sounded from outside.
He used Qianjun to make a small hole in the mountain wall and looked out. Flames rose from below. Below was an open space, and some Saber Demons were sitting around the fire. There weren't many of them, but strangely enough, these Saber Demons didn't seem to have low Origin Energy. The Origin Energy radiance on their bodies was stronger than that of the warriors of ordinary tribes. The weakest of them was probably at the tenth level.
Amongst the Saber Demons, the Demon Cultivator sitting on a stone block was the tallest. Judging from the brightness of the Origin Energy radiance on his body, this Saber Demon was at least at Level 17 or 18. If he were to throw this level into a small tribe, he would already be qualified for the role of a chief.
From the looks of it, the Saber Demons here did not seem to be a tribe. After all, they were too few in number, less than 30 people, not even a small tribe. There was no clear division of labor. They were all men, and not even horned wolves were present. The Saber Demon seemed to be talking. Since the two sides were more than ten meters apart, their voices were not loud. Although Allen understood the Saber Demon's language, it was difficult for him to hear what they were saying.
Suddenly, a thin Saber Demon stood up and shouted at the Saber Demon who looked like a leader, "Bazba, that's a sacrificial squad of ten tribes. We can't afford to offend them."
"Coward." The Saber Demon leader's chest rose and fell as he roared, "Don't you look at the Alex Plains? The ten tribes have been defeated by the human army. They are no longer the ten tribes of the past. Moreover, the ten tribes and their attention are all on the plains. How could they notice the sacrificial squad in the Barren Lands? "
"But what if we rob the sacrificial team and the ten tribes issue a beheading order to us?" Another Saber Demon asked in a deep voice.
"If we rob the sacrificial team, we can form a tribe ourselves." Another Saber Demon asked in a deep voice. At that time, we would hide back here. The terrain of the Cold Crown Glacier was complicated and near the human base. Unless the ten tribes wanted to pull the front here, it would be very difficult to move us. "Hide for a while, when they have no time to pay attention, we will take down that human base and swallow a few small tribes. At that time, will the ten tribes still know that we did it?"
"At that time, you will be the general's priests, and I will be the chief. Who would have thought that we would be the ones who robbed their sacrificial team?"
A loud and clear laughter sounded from below. Allen retreated, thinking to himself, "So it turns out that this is a bandit made up of Saber Demons." Moreover, it seemed that he was preparing to hit the ten tribes. However, Allen was very concerned about the sacrificial team that Bazba was talking about. If he guessed correctly, it should be the sacrificial team that the ten tribes had sent to the Sacred Site. Not to mention whether or not this group of daring Saber Demon bandits could snatch the sacrificial team, if Allen followed them, he could find the sacrificial team and discover the location of the Saber Demon's sacred site.
According to Windsor Bellow's speculation, the Sacred Site might be the origin of the Saber Demon. For Allen, there were more likely to be records of the devil's praise. Privately and publicly, Allen felt that it was necessary to take the risk.
He retreated to the hiding place where everyone had been hiding. Seeing that Allen had returned, Lucy and the others came out of hiding. Allen called them aside and said, "Now that the snow and wind have interfered with the signal, we can't contact the base. We can only go back and report the information here, but someone has to keep an eye on it. So, the three of you go back first, and I'll stay here. "
He didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter when he went to the Sacred Site. Allen didn't want to drag the three of them in, so he thought of an excuse to send them away. William and Broyle didn't think too much about it, but Lucy had an extra mind. She pulled Allen to another corner and whispered, "Tell me, what are you going to do? Your expression doesn't seem to be as simple as staying in place. "
Allen smiled bitterly and raised his hand. "Well, the guys inside are actually bandits who are going to make a deal. I want to go with them because the target they are going to rob is the people of the Ten Ministries. "
"Then why don't you bring us along?"
