Until they crossed the entire glacier, the king of the Frost Devourer, 'Frostfang', which should have existed in the game, never appeared. There were only some Frost Wraiths in the snow. These undead creatures were said to be born from the souls of the travelers who had frozen to death under the glacier. They were similar to ghosts, but looked like ice demons that roamed the snow-covered forest. Fortunately, they were not very powerful, and the little female dragon, Brando, and Veronica easily dispatched them. They did not even need the Ash Sword Saint to do anything, and The Shire trio certainly gained a lot of EXP.
The small monsters in such a large-scale dungeon were also very rich in EXP and loot. It was a pity that Brando's luck had been ruined when he got the Elapsing Needle today. None of the dozens of Frost Wraiths dropped anything good, not even a high-level white equipment. Brendel felt like crying. It would have been worth it if he had gotten a whole set of Elapsing Needles, but it was only half of it. It was too unfair that he still had to lose some of his luck.
After crossing the glacier, the team once again entered the belly of the mountain through a cave hidden in the valley. Under Brando's guidance, they turned into a long artificial corridor. It was as if a spectacular painting had suddenly appeared before everyone from the sky. It was a magnificent temple embedded in the belly of the mountain, hundreds of feet high, with arched beams opening up a towering trapezoidal space. The temple followed the architectural style of Milos's wreckage that they had seen on the surface, but beams of sky-blue light hung down from the dome of the temple like sharp swords that were hundreds of feet long, sprinkling on the blue ice, crisscrossing with the slanted beams to form disorderly and picturesque shadow patches.
The temple was so majestic, as if it was a giant sandwiched in the belly of the mountain, independently supporting both sides of the glacier. When they walked out of the narrow corridor, they could only feel that they were as small as dust.
Everyone could not help but exclaim in their hearts. Even Brando, who had read the description in the guide, was shaken at the moment. This was the Eternal Extinction Square, and further back was the Spiral Hall. This was the creation of the civilization from the previous era. The square was still echoing with the tragic cries from that war. Then, everything fell silent, leaving only the silence of the tens of millions of years later.
"What's that?" It was not known when the little prince had run to the front. He curiously stared at the groups of blue light balls cruising in the square below and asked.
"Breath of Frost."
Those were the Activation Spells that had been awakened from the ancient battlefield by the Dark Magic Power. However, the number of Activation Spells was astonishing. From one end of the square to the other, there were at least 1,000 of them. They were scattered like stars in the night sky. Veronica couldn't help but feel a little troubled when she saw this scene. This kind of ancient activation magic was quite difficult to deal with. If there were only a few dozen of them, it would be easy to deal with, but there were thousands of them. Even if she and the Ash Sword Saint attacked together, along with the little female dragon and Brando, she was afraid that they would be drowned.
"Kill them directly?" Veronica took a deep breath. The scene in front of her also proved that the ancient war was tragic. How dense the explosion of magic was needed to cause so many Activation Spells to gather here thousands of years later. There was another ancient battlefield in Wohnde. That was the place where the Four Sages and the Dark Dragon had the final battle. Today, that place was called the Dead Land. A large number of Activation Spells were active in that place, but the number was not as ridiculous as here. The battlefield spanned dozens of miles, and there were only a few hundred Activation Spells wandering around. But here … Veronica could not help but shake her head. "I'm afraid it will take a few days to clean up all of them."
"We don't have that much time. The Spiral Hall is behind us. At this time, Arreck and the others should be here soon. We have to be one step ahead of them." Brando immediately replied. "I'll lure these things away. I'll give you a signal later, and you guys will go through the square."
"No!"
"No!" Brando was slightly startled. When he turned around, he found that the ones who objected were the little female dragon and Metisha. The little female dragon looked at him up and down, and replied with some dissatisfaction. "You are my toy. Before you act on your own, shouldn't you ask for the master's opinion first?"
Metisha, on the other hand, was more worried. "My lord, your identity is different from before. There is no need to take the risk yourself. As a superior, you have to learn how to do things. "
Brando raised an eyebrow. Why did this line sound so familiar? He looked at the Silver Elf princess and asked. "What else did Amandina say to you?"
The Silver Elf princess' face turned red. She stammered. "No … no, this … this … this is what I wanted to say."
Brando looked at the red-faced Metisha and couldn't help but find it funny. He probably didn't expect the little Elven princess to have such a side. He was about to comfort her, but at this time, Veronica also spoke. Her opinion was similar to Metisha's. "Brando, you are not the strongest among us. The little princess is right. Leave it to me or Mephisto."
Brando shrugged and directly ignored the little female dragon's previous nonsense. As for Veronica's question, he had his own opinion. In fact, it wasn't as dangerous as imagined. It was just luring the monsters. If a pure Warrior who had more than 100 levels in the game didn't even know how to do this, then he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself. Moreover, luring away these Icy Breaths here was a very famous technique. Players used to farm materials here.
This was a necessary method. Although Brando hadn't personally tried it, he couldn't say that he didn't know how to do it.
But it didn't mean that Mephisto or Veronica couldn't learn this technique. In fact, it wasn't difficult. The problem was that this technique required a prerequisite, and that was to be familiar with the terrain. And among everyone present, only he could reluctantly say that he was qualified to meet this condition. And there was no room for mistakes. Once surrounded by thousands of Icy Breaths, even Mephisto would not be able to escape easily. If that happened, it would turn into a direct battle, then there would be a lot of fun. Just like Veronica said before, it would take a few days to finish.
So in the end, he shook his head. "Master Veronica, Master, it's not difficult to lure these monsters away. But do you know where to lure them? I know because I am more familiar with this place than you. Let me try first. Don't worry, if it's troublesome, I will find a way to return. "
"How will you return?" Brando's perfunctory words obviously couldn't fool the Cruz legion commander.
"Uh …" This lie was not easy to tell. Brando hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's hard to say, I will find a way myself."
Veronica stared at him suspiciously.
Brando sighed and had to explain, "Master Veronica, please don't worry. Do you think I am the kind of person who doesn't care about his own safety? Well, maybe I can give it a try for Erouine, but I am not that noble to work for you Cruz people, so please believe me, okay? "
This statement finally moved the female legion commander, although it sounded a little unpleasant. Even Prince Lenarette couldn't help but snort coldly, thinking that Brando's statement was too arrogant. Since when did the Cruz people need the help of Erouine people? Veronica looked at him deeply and replied in a deliberately cold voice, "That's true. There is still a gap between a sly little guy like you and those who flaunt self-sacrifice, although you often pretend to be so bewitching."
Brando couldn't help but smile bitterly. He knew that Veronica was talking about the scene that happened in the Loop of Trade Winds, but at that time, he really didn't have the intention to sacrifice himself for the Druids or the Tree Elves. He just wanted to find a way to survive in a desperate situation. He looked back and saw that most of the Cruz people who were not familiar with this experience were at a loss, but a few of his subordinates were secretly laughing, especially the Silver Elf Princess, who smiled especially sweetly.
But in any case, Veronica finally didn't object.
He looked back again, and his teacher, the Ash Sword Saint, also didn't say a word. He just nodded slightly to him and replied lightly, "Since this is what you asked for, then be careful and have more opportunities to train yourself. This is also a good thing for you." Brando raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that his teacher was also a strange person. Perhaps breaking out of the encirclement of tens of thousands of monsters was not a big deal for him. After all, he was the one who made a bloody path out of the encirclement of the central area of the Cruz Empire.
There was no comparison at all. After all, there was no lack of people at Veronica's level who had participated in the ambush back then. Compared to these people, the threat of Frost Breath was only slightly stronger than a pet dog.
Thinking of this, he shook his head and gestured to his wizard servant not far away, "The Shire, come with me."
Luring monsters was a skill. Although he could do it alone, it was still a bit difficult with his current strength. It would be a different story if he had the help of a wizard. The key was that The Shire was his summoned creature. If there was any danger, he could reset him at any time. If he brought someone else with him, it would be more or less a hindrance at the critical moment. And the most important reason was that he didn't want Veronica to know some of his little secrets.
In the face of his lord's summons, The Shire could only sigh. He spread his hands as if he had already expected this. Anyway, as long as it was hard work, he would be indispensable.
"My lord, I didn't owe you anything in my previous life."
"It's hard to say, but I think I probably owe someone." Brando replied somewhat helplessly.
"Someone?"
The young wizard looked back and found that Brando had just taken a step when someone's hand tightly grabbed the corner of his clothes. Brando helplessly turned back and met Scarlet's bright and somewhat worried eyes, "You wait for me here, Scarlet, I'll be right back. Oh no, it should be that we'll meet on the other side right away, okay? "Brando felt that the phrase 'right away' was a bit too unlucky. Why would he come back? So he quickly changed his words.
However, the red-haired girl looked at him and shook her head seriously.
That was — — 'Not good!'
… …
The detection range of the Breath of Ice was about thirty feet, and the perception of the Activation Magic was very poor. Furthermore, his level was higher than the theoretical entry level of the Holy Cathedral of the Hibernator, so Brendel only stopped when he was about twenty-five feet away. The Shire followed closely behind. A wizard's stealth ability was far inferior to a warrior's profession, not to mention compared to Nightingale. However, magic could solve this problem. He used the Law of Sound Absorption to completely eliminate the sound of his footsteps, so his steps sounded lighter than Brando's.
Then, it was Scarlet. Brando couldn't persuade the mountain girl, so he had to let her follow. Fortunately, Scarlet's strength was not weak, and she had dragon blood. It would be difficult for her to hide her voice in front of those monsters who were good at detection, but it was not a problem for a half-deaf, half-blind thing like the Frost Breath.
Just that — Brando looked back again and saw the sneaky faces of Aloz and Shitah.
"What are you doing here?" Brando stared at them angrily.
"I'm afraid I'll lose my toy." Aloz's answer was natural.
"She caught me." Shitah replied, wanting to cry but without tears.
Brando was a little speechless. If he had known, he would have just taken everyone to break out of the encirclement. These four or five people together to lure the monsters was simply a fantasy. He had to fiercely gesture to Aloz, "Listen to my command later."
"What's with your attitude!" The little female dragon seemed very dissatisfied, but after a while, she added, "… But if there's a reason, I can still consider it."
Brando snorted softly, hiding behind the first beam, and pointed to the beam on the other side and said, "See over there, the Frost Breath attacks by rays, with a range of about 120 feet. They move by flying, with a movement speed of about 15 feet per second. However, we have five chances to avoid their pursuit through the beam, so if your own explosive speed can't reach more than 12 feet per second, just obediently retreat."
With that, he looked back at the others.
But Aloz looked at him as if he was an idiot, "What are you looking at?"
"Of course it's a question." Brando replied.
"Are you an idiot, we're dragons." The little female dragon replied snappily, "We can run faster than you even if we walk."
"Him too?" Brando used his chin to point to the little fatty beside Aloz.
"My Lord, although I don't like to exercise, I'm still faster than you no matter what." Shitah stuck out his little belly and replied in a low muffled voice.
Brando couldn't help but touch his face, feeling that it was a bit of a blunder. The giant dragons were the Golden People, and a combat-oriented race, their physical fitness was naturally not for show. He just kept the habit of being a leader and asked subconsciously, but forgot about this. He looked at Scarlet again. The mountain girl did not answer, but the other party was half dragon, so naturally there was no need to say more. He had to turn his attention to The Shire.
"My Lord, I have a dimensional gate." The wizard servant pondered for a moment and replied with a smile.
"So, I'm still the slowest?" Brando suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Well … More or less." The Shire looked at the others. Aloz and Shitah were giant dragons, Scarlet could also be said to be half a dragon, and he himself had magic, so it seemed that the Lord was indeed holding them back.
"How about it, little Brando?" Aloz seemed very happy to see Brando deflated, and couldn't help but giggle. "Now you understand, we're here to help you. Without this young lady's help, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to complete this mission. This is secondary, if you were to be killed by these flies, then wouldn't the toy that I had painstakingly obtained be gone? This is very bad. "
Brando knew that the little female dragon was deliberately going against him, as if she had been holding a grudge ever since she knew that he gave the Golden Apple to Scarlet. But he suddenly thought of a plan. "Aloz, how about we make a bet?"
"A bet?" The little female dragon narrowed her eyes, and subconsciously became a little vigilant.
"Well, what I want to say is, to lead these monsters away so that others can pass, it's not as simple as you think. If you think that it's enough as long as you're fast enough, then you're gravely mistaken. And I can tell you, even if it's speed, you can't compare to me here. " Brando replied, "So, I suggest that you and Shitah go back and act with the others, and leave this to the Professional Personnel Department."
"Don't give me that, I'm not going to be provoked by you." Aloz snorted. "But how do you want to bet?"
Brando snickered, this little female dragon did not mean what she said, and he had already experienced it. He quickly replied, "Didn't I say, let's compete in speed to see who gets to the finish line first?"
"Competing in speed with the dragon race?" Aloz's eyes widened. "Are you crazy?"
Brando nodded seriously. "The loser must unconditionally agree to a condition of the winner."
"A condition?" The little female dragon was slightly startled, and suddenly hugged her chest, her little face red, and shouted with some anger. "What are you trying to do, shameless!"
F * ck, what are you thinking about? Brendel almost screamed when he saw the little female dragon like this. He hurriedly put up a finger and gestured for her to keep quiet. Then, he poked his head out to take a look. Fortunately, the Icy Breaths that were cruising outside did not seem to notice the noise here at all. It was indeed worthy of the title of being half-deaf and half-blind. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned back, and scolded Aloz angrily. "Are you crazy, do you want to die here?"
Aloz looked at him hatefully, showing her fangs and retorted, "Who told you to make such a shameful request."
"How is it shameful!" Brando suddenly saw The Shire and Shitah's strange expressions, as well as Scarlet's blushing face. He wanted to strangle this stupid little female dragon to death. "I mean, if I win, you have to give me the real Heart of the Dragon." When Brando said this, he paused for a moment. After all, the Heart of the Dragon was the secret treasure of the dragon clan, and he did not know how valuable it was to the dragon clan.
It was just that Princess Magadal needed to rely on the Heart of the Dragon to revive, so he came up with this idea in a hurry.
Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, Shitah hurriedly shook his head. "The Heart of the Dragon is mine!" But unfortunately, Aloz looked at him suspiciously and asked, "That's it? Okay, I agree. "
"Sister Aloz!" The little fat dragon widened his eyes.
"It's okay, you can join in too." Aloz patted her cheap brother's shoulder, and said casually, "This way, if he loses, he owes each of us a request."
"You can do that?" The Shire was stunned, and he quickly raised his hand. "Then I'll join in too."
Brando looked on coldly, watching his young wizard servant digging his own grave, and could not help but sneer in his heart. But he was also curious, and asked, "What kind of wager do you want?" Because in Brando's impression, The Shire seemed to be the kind of person who was indifferent and carefree. Unless it was necessary for magic research, he did not seem to have any other desires.
"That's nothing, but I think it's cool, isn't it? Think about it, your master owes you a request, it's so dirty and unreasonable." The Shire could not help but answer with a smile.
"Damn," Brando was speechless at his servant's strange idea.
But when he turned around, he saw Scarlet's face was red, and she raised her hand.
"You want to join in too?"
"Yes."
"Damn!" For a moment, Brando could not help but have such a thought in his mind.
This was indeed very dirty and unreasonable.
