The 73rd Chapter "Canyon"
The three of them continued to walk along the Big Circle Lake towards the north of the forest.
The forest in front of them seemed to be endless. The three of them walked along the lakeside. Finally, after two days of difficult trekking, they arrived at the north side of the Big Circle Lake.
Du Wei took out the map of the Ice Mountain Forest that was given to him by the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group's leader Beinrich. On this map, the description of the south side of the Big Circle Lake was very detailed. The places that were relatively safe and where there were more monsters were marked.
As for the north side of the Big Circle Lake, the marking was relatively simple. On the map, there was a large area of blank space, only the word "Forest" was written. The only direction to go forward was also written by Beinrich according to the information left by the previous adventurers.
"Well, if we continue to go north, I think it's best to follow this path on the map." Du Wei opened the map and showed it to the two of them, "Look, this is probably the only place that people have walked through in the past two hundred years. Follow this … … this direction, just to the left of where we are now … … Keep going north, we will pass through a safe area. The map says that there are fewer monsters in this area, but after two days, we will reach a canyon. Oh, this canyon doesn't have a name, but it is clearly written that this place is dangerous and there will be high level monsters there. And if we continue to go north … … it's completely unknown. "
Dadaneier looked at the map seriously, but Hussain had an indifferent expression.
"Let's decide, my companions. How do we go?" Du-Wei smiled: "According to the map, which canyon do we go through? Or do we just keep going north aimlessly? Wherever we go? "
When he said this, Du Wei was mostly looking at Hussain. He felt that the Old Magician must have a purpose for going to the Ice Mountain Forest. This God Paladin who betrayed the Shrines should know the destination. They didn't say it before, but now that they were here, they should say it.
However, Du Wei was disappointed. Hussain's face was indifferent as he said indifferently, "Whatever, as long as you keep heading north. As for which path to take, you can decide."
"Let's go through the canyon." Dadaneier pondered for a moment and then suggested, "No one has been to the other places. Who knows what is in those places? Only this canyon has been passed by people in the past. Although there isn't much information left behind, at least we can make some preparations. "
"Okay, then it's decided." Du Wei put away the map and smiled. "Let's go to the canyon!"
After all, he had the continent's number one Knight by his side, and there was a top-notch Magician following him at all times. Even if they encountered any danger, it shouldn't be too big of a problem.
North of the Great Circle Lake, the weather was unbearably cold. It could be said that with Du Wei's previous physique, he would have frozen to death on the road. But now, he practiced the new set of moves that Hussain taught him a few times every day. It was enough to resist the cold.
And Hussain, with his strong Dou Qi, was also not afraid of the cold.
On the other hand, although Dadaneier was a strong warrior, his strength was only a third level warrior, so he was gradually unable to withstand the cold.
They walked into the forest from the north shore of the Great Circle Lake. The weather here was very strange. There was no wind in the forest, and the surroundings were quiet. Only the snow under their feet was so thick that it made their hearts numb!
Sometimes, they would accidentally step into a snow nest, and the thick snow could almost bury them up to their waist!
Moreover, the snow here was not only thick, but also very hard! These two days, when they were camping, they dug up the snow on the ground to set up their tents, but they couldn't see the ground under the snow! There were a few times when they dug up the snow, but there was a hard layer of ice underneath!
"Damn it … I suspect that there is no soil on the ground! It is all ice! How did these trees grow on this layer of ice? Could it be that these trees can grow on the ice? "Dadaneier sighed.
Du Wei frowned and said in a low voice, "Right, do you feel that … since we left the lake and walked into this forest, I have a strange feeling … It is very quiet here, and there is almost no sound. But I feel that we are being watched by something all the time … Do you feel that?"
Dadaneier shook his head, indicating that he didn't. Hussein, on the other hand, seemed to smile for a moment. Then the knight glanced at Du-Wei: "Oh? You feel it too? "
Du Wei relied on his strong spiritual power and sharp senses, and Knight because of his extraordinary strength. Only Dadaneier, who was relatively weaker, was only an intermediate warrior, and didn't have such strong senses.
"Are we being watched by some magical beast?" Du Wei frowned.
"Maybe not one, but a group." Hussain said lightly, "Who cares! They better not appear. If they appear, we will just have more dinner. "
Du Wei didn't doubt Hussain's words.
In fact, along the way, along the way, the three of them had been attacked by magical beasts more than once.
In this world of ice and snow, where food was scarce, the level of the magical beasts was also very high. Some bloodthirsty magical beasts would even attack them for a little prey. Even at night, Du Wei sprinkled dragon feces around the tent, but it gradually became less effective.
The magical beasts here seemed to have higher intelligence, and the feces of the Megalosaurus couldn't scare them away. Although they didn't dare to attack directly, they would launch some probing attacks.
One night, in the middle of the night, three earth dragons came out from the ground under the tent and attacked them. These earth dragons weren't real dragons, but looked like small animals like the pangolins that Du Wei saw in his previous life. But these things were very troublesome!
They were able to dig through the frozen soil and ice that were harder than iron at will. Moreover, they were able to move at a very fast speed! These guys were covered with a layer of hard scales … How hard was it? You can ask Dadaneier. Because in one night attack, Dadaneier, a level three warrior, used all his strength to hack at the back of an earth dragon. As a result, the earth dragon only shook its body, but the machete in Dadaneier's hand had already broken into two!
These Earth Dragons possessed extraordinary defensive capabilities, and their sharp claws and teeth were even more terrifying! They could easily bite through hard metal! One must know that they relied on their claws and teeth to dig through the frozen ground and ice!
These small creatures were not big in size, but their speed was amazing. They were almost inferior to swords and spears. But if you were scratched or bitten by them, it would be enough to kill you!
If there wasn't such a strong warrior like Hussain in the team, Du Wei didn't doubt that he and Dadaneier would have been finished.
That night, Dadaneier slashed at an Earth Dragon, but his own blade broke. The Earth Dragon only shook its body a little before pouncing on Dadaneier's body. Its claws, which could dig through the frozen earth, were already on Dadaneier's shoulder. It easily pierced through his leather armor, and even the bones of his shoulder were pierced through!
At this time, Hussain, the continent's number one Knight, made his move. He used a worn-out longsword and swung it out, bringing along a faint golden flame. This kind of faint golden Dou Qi was abnormally dazzling in the night. Under this brilliance, three incomparably tough Earth Dragons were beheaded at the same time with two cracking sounds! The three earth dragons were cut into six pieces, and the one that was on Dadaneier's shoulder was still lying on his shoulder, but its head had already rolled into the snow.
That night, the three of them enjoyed a barbecued earth dragon.
After breaking through the hard scales of the earth dragons, the meat of these small creatures was also very tough and couldn't be bitten at all … but their internal organs were very delicious.
Hussain even peeled off the scales of the three earth dragons and put them into a heavy bag. He gave it to Du Wei, "These things should be used to make armor. They are very light, but harder than metal. They should be a very good material."
This Knight even pulled out the tendons of the three earth dragons. These tendons were very tough, and he used them to change Dadaneier's bow into a bow. Using the tendons of the earth dragons to make a bow was a few times better than an ordinary iron bow!
Dadaneier didn't hate Hussain anymore. Although Hussain almost killed him, this Knight not only saved his life, but also gave him a good bow … no matter what, he owed this Knight.
Hussain still had a cold look and didn't say much. When there was nothing to do, he would close his eyes and rest.
Dadaneier was embarrassed to talk to Hussain, but Du Wei didn't care. He had a lot of questions, and he could only get answers from Knight.
"Hey." Du Wei walked to Hussain's side and sat down, "How's your wound? I still have some ice berries. "
Hussain raised his head and looked at Du Wei, "Thank you, but I don't need it. If you eat too much of that kind of thing, you will get addicted. Moreover, I ate the ice berries that day, and I already said some things that I shouldn't have said. I can handle it now, so I don't need these things. "
Du Wei smiled and then said in a low voice, "I noticed that your Dou Qi … is golden. I heard that only Paladin's Dou Qi is golden. You were called the strongest person in a hundred years who was closest to Paladin. Now looking at the color of your Dou Qi … you are now a Paladin, right? "
Hussain raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Paladin … if I was already a Paladin, I wouldn't have so many wounds on my body."
"You are not a Paladin yet?" Du-Wei was a little surprised: With his own strength, he was able to kill two ninth level knights of the same level as himself. Not only that, but he also killed a top level magician of the Temple (Head of the Inquisition). Although Du-Wei didn't know what level the Head of the Inquisition was, but he was sure it was at least eighth level. In addition, there was an eighth level God Paladin, plus several mid-level Knights …
Hussain had such terrifying strength, could it be that he still hadn't reached the level of Paladin?
"I am still ninth level now." Hussain sighed, "I feel that I am close to the threshold of a breakthrough, but I am always one small step away … this step is clearly in front of me, but I don't know how to cross it. Maybe today, maybe I won't be able to cross this hurdle in my life, only God knows. "
Du Wei took a deep breath, "Then … Paladin, what is he like?"
"I don't know." Hussain shook his head, his eyes were a little confused, "But what I know is that there is an insurmountable gap between the Saint level and the ordinary level. Although there is a big difference in strength between eighth level and ninth level for an ordinary Knight, it is not impossible to win in a cross-level challenge. For example, although a ninth level Knight is stronger than an eighth level, if a few eighth level Knights can gather together, they can also defeat a ninth level Knight. But the Saint level … that is a realm I don't know … According to ancient legends, only the Saint level can't challenge someone of a higher level. That is to say, once you reach the level of Paladin, only other Saint level Knights can be your opponent. And a lower level Knight will never be able to defeat a Paladin even if they gather many ninth level Knights! Although there is only a difference of one level between a ninth level and a Paladin, this one level represents a huge, insurmountable gap! "
"…" Du Wei didn't say anything, he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Sometimes, I feel that I am already very strong." Hussein bitterly smiled: "When I was fighting with Knight Commander Luke and Knight Commander Hoilik, although I was stronger than both of them, the most I could do was deal with their combined attacks. I had already reached my limit. But if I were Paladin … "Hussain shook his head and closed his mouth, he didn't continue.
Seeing that Hussain didn't say anything, Du Wei knew that this guy didn't want to continue the conversation. He could only sigh and shake his head, he went to the side to help Hussain start a fire.
On the afternoon of the second day, the trio finally approached the last marked location on the map.
Canyon.
In fact, the terrain of this place was very simple. There were two hillsides in front of him. Yellow rocks were exposed on the steep hillsides. The rocks were covered with ice and snow. There was a break between the two hillsides. This break was the "canyon" mentioned on the map.
When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the canyon, they were all shocked.
Because on both sides of the canyon's entrance, there were two stone sculptures that seemed to have been deliberately erected!
The one on the left was a human Knight, about the same size as an ordinary person. This stone sculpture was very exquisite, the carving skill could be said to be at the grandmaster level! The long sword in the Knight's hand was still brandishing, the expression on his face was furious and his eyes were glaring. His expression was very lifelike, almost lifelike to the extreme! The armour on his body was somewhat broken, but each of the broken gaps were carved very carefully!
Gently wiping away the layer of snow on the surface, the Knight's armour was revealed. Even the patterns on the armour were so exquisite and clear!
Du Wei looked at the excessively lifelike stone sculpture and his face suddenly changed!
"This … does not look like a stone sculpture! It is not carved out! This is a real person, one that has been petrified! "
Soon, Du Wei and Dadaneier glanced at each other and the two of them spoke out at the same time!
"Golden-eyed Python!"
Hussain's face was gloomy. He suddenly pulled out his long sword, frowned and said in a low voice, "Hey! I have that hateful feeling again! Something else is watching us in the dark! … It seems … it is here! "
