In order to thank the three for saving his life, the dwarf quickly began to cook the pair of bear paws.
He took out the kitchen utensils and condiments he carried with him, picked up some dry firewood nearby to start a fire, and peeled and cut the meat. It looked like he was doing it in an orderly manner.
However, even though this guy had repeatedly stressed that he was a gourmet, Rob did not have high expectations of him, because dwarves were also famous for their love of bragging.
Basically, they would brag that a 10% chance of success was a 50% chance, and in the dwarves' dictionary, a 50% chance probably meant certain.
However, this time, the dwarf named Sungta used his cooking skills to prove the dwarves' name. The bear paws he cooked were indeed very delicious, and even the future Supreme Magus Your Honor was full of praise after tasting it.
The next morning, when they parted, the dwarf left behind a bag of matsutake and half a bottle of wild honey. That bottle of wild honey was also the reason why he was chased by the brown bear. From the perspective of wanting ingredients more than his life, he really lived up to his name as a gourmet.
After saying goodbye to the dwarf, the three spent about a day and a half to finally reach the dangerous area marked on the map. The journey was considered smooth, and apart from a group of wild wolves, they did not encounter any other accidents.
In fact, there were some powerful magical beasts in the Kilimanjaro Mountains, but most of them were relatively gentle and not so aggressive. Under normal circumstances, as long as you did not step into their territory, they would not attack travelers for no reason.
However, after entering the dangerous area, the situation obviously changed.
After bypassing the huge limestone, it was like entering another world. The density and ferocity of the magical beasts on this side of the limestone had increased compared to the first mate's.
Now, the three of them were hiding behind a banyan tree covered in vines. In just a moment, they passed by the figures of several predators.
Rob observed for a while and said, "The magical beasts in this place should have been modified by someone. Their temperament has changed greatly, and they are much more violent than the magical beasts outside. They are also much stronger."
"Did the temple do it?" Lolo asked.
"Yes, changing the habits of the species in an area. Apart from them, no one else has the ability to do such a thing. But this is also good news for us. It means we are closer to Ao Grimm's prison. These mutated magical beasts outside should be used to prevent outsiders from approaching the prison. In addition, they can also prevent the prisoners from escaping. In short, we need to be more careful in our next actions. Try not to get entangled by them. If we can't end the battle in a short time, it may attract more trouble."
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor pointed to a place not far away, where an Earth Bear was fighting two Gale Cheetahs. The noise and the smell of blood quickly attracted new predators.
In the end, after a fierce battle, only one Gale Cheetah managed to escape with a limp. The Earth Bear and its companion were devoured by another more powerful magical beast.
Luo Bu frowned when he saw this. Back in the Endless Forest, he had intimidated a two-headed wolf with his aura alone, causing it to tuck its tail between its legs and obediently turn into a husky. However, this trick clearly didn't work here because the magical beasts in this area were clearly more violent and irrational.
From the battle just now, it could be seen that the first reaction of the Earth Bear and Gale Cheetah was not to run when faced with a magical beast that was obviously stronger than them, but to face it head-on. This decision was undoubtedly extremely stupid, and they soon paid the price for their recklessness.
However, for the future Supreme Magus Your Honor, the situation in front of him only looked more dangerous. Rob could easily sense the magical waves in the air nearby. With him leading the way, the three successfully avoided the crazy magical beasts and passed through the dangerous area without any danger. Soon, they saw the destination of the trip — the largest prison of the shrine in the south, Och Grimm Prison.
It was located on the steepest cliff. From this angle, it looked like a giant black beast crouching on the top of the mountain. The towering iron walls on all sides isolated it from the outside world. The only thing taller than the iron walls was a giant gray tower that was more than 100 meters tall.
Just as the three reached the foot of the mountain, the sky darkened. Soon, the sky was shrouded by dark clouds, and lightning and thunder began to rumble.
Lolo raised her head and could vaguely see a path on the cliff. The path was very narrow, probably only allowing one person to pass sideways. There was no protection around it, and if the wind was a little strong, it could even directly blow people off the cliff. There was only a slightly flat terrace about one-third of the top of the mountain, but there was also a stone house on the terrace.
Compared to the steep path, the simple and crude house looked even more conspicuous. It was located on a bare stone wall. Because of the high content of copper and iron in the mountain, the entire mountain could not grow any plants. The nearest water source was tens of miles away. It was hard to believe that someone would choose such a harsh environment to live in.
"It's the guardian of Och Grimm Prison."
"Huh? What?"
"The twelve grade eight knights of the Pantheon live there. They are all warriors with strong faith. The moment they chose to become the prison guards, it was equivalent to abandoning everything in the world. With them guarding the mountainside, with the terrain here, even thousands of soldiers and horses would not be able to break through Och Grimm Prison."
Rob didn't like the Pantheon, but this didn't prevent him from respecting those who had pure faith. These twelve grade eight knights were obviously such people. Because of their existence, none of the villains imprisoned in Och Grimm Prison could escape.
The future Supreme Magus Your Honor shook his head. "We can't go this way, so it's your turn now." Rob shifted his gaze to the little golem at the side.
The little golem nodded. It had regained its sense of direction after arriving here. It led the two to the other side of the mountain. There was a cave that wasn't too big. It seemed that some wild animals lived here. However, the owner of the cave had left for a long time, and the small animal bones on the ground were quite old.
