168 Celia, Don’t Stop!
Frost Dark Forest is a forest that is completely frozen. Huge layers of ice block the roads and cover the tops of the trees. In some places, even sunlight cannot penetrate. According to Toby, the only people living here are a crazy female magician and some goblins. Of course, the goblins all accidentally entered here by mistake, or were captured by the female magician and used as slaves.
Goblins have excellent adaptability and can survive no matter how bad the environment is. Even in a freezing forest like this, they are difficult to freeze to death. They are simply the most suitable slaves.
Toby fully embodies the Goblin's tough survival characteristics. While Tang Hao and the others were still sighing at the ice, Toby had already found the entrance, broke the thin ice layer on the surface with a stone, and easily got in.
"Here, here!"
Hearing Toby's greeting, the three of them rushed over immediately. When they saw it, they were immediately dizzy.
Even if a magician goes crazy, he will not forget the research of magic, and the study of magic must require a lot of materials, which the magician himself cannot obtain. After all, it is impossible for a normal society to accommodate a madman with powerful power, so he can only Relying on the goblin slaves, as long as the magic mark is placed on the goblins, these cowardly and timid creatures will not be able to disappear forever.
This entrance is obviously for the use of goblins. It is narrow and simple. Toby can easily get in, but it is difficult for Tang Hao and the others.
"Isn't there a bigger entrance?" Asuna asked.
Toby got his head out of the ice cave and thought for a while, "There must be other passages nearby, but this road is the closest. If we look for other entrances, we may waste several hours, and we may not even be able to find them. "
That's right, the mad magician completely froze this forest in order to completely isolate it from humans and prevent adventurers from disturbing her. In this case, of course he would not leave those obvious entrances.
Only then did Tang Hao finally realize that things that could be done easily in the game would be exponentially more difficult in reality.
What do you need to prepare to enter Frostdark Jungle in the game?
No need to prepare anything, you just need to click in with the mouse!
"Forget it, forget it. Although this hole is a bit small, it's not impossible to drill. We don't have so much time to waste... Kirito, you go ahead." Tang Hao waved his hand. Kirito has the physique of a fire elf, maybe he can Make this ice hole bigger.
"Okay." Kirito immediately squatted down and got in.
Toby's body shape allowed him to travel freely back and forth in this ice cave by squatting half down, but the three of them could only crawl in the cave with their butts sticking out. The whole process made Asuna blush, because she was crawling in the ice cave. Middle.
God knows why she was crawling in the middle!
"President, don't look around!" Whenever Asuna turned around and found Tang Hao looking straight ahead, she was so ashamed that she couldn't help but want to kick that face.
"Oh, what's the matter with you?" Tang Hao was also quite speechless. The ice cave was only so big. What else could he see if he didn't look in front of him? Should he close his eyes?
"But I always feel like your eyes are always glancing at me..."
"Illusion, you are just paranoid about being watched. If you are really worried, then let's just change positions and let you see my ass."
"Who wants to see your butt!" Asuna instinctively kicked back, but the force was not very strong.
Snapped!
Tang Hao had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed her ankle almost reflexively, and then took a closer look... Ugh!
Although Asuna's lying position was a bit awkward originally, at most she could only see her thighs and butt covered by her skirt, but now with Asuna's kicking movement, the inside of her skirt was completely exposed. , I even saw things I shouldn’t have seen.
"ah!"
Asuna exclaimed and reacted immediately. Her face turned red and she immediately put her feet back. Then she gritted her teeth and crawled forward without saying a word.
Well, it can be considered a good benefit.
Tang Hao smiled and said no more. It would be unkind if he continued to talk mean words after taking advantage of him. Otherwise, he would really make Asuna anxious. She might not be kicked but stabbed with a sword.
"Phew, it's finally out..."
Not long after, the group finally left the narrow ice cave. When Tong stretched his arms comfortably, Tang Hao said seriously: "Be careful, we have entered the territory of Frost Krach, pay attention to the surroundings at all times." movement."
Tang Hao deliberately diverted everyone's attention to prevent Asuna from talking about the previous welfare incident, but his approach was obviously a bit redundant. Asuna wished she could forget what happened just now, so how could she bring it up again.
And after hearing what he said, everyone's minds quickly focused on the frost forest in front of them.
Judging from the environment, the forest in front of us is like a frozen tribe. There are tent-like houses built with stones and trees everywhere. They are very short, with the highest one not exceeding two meters. They are obviously for Inhabited by goblins.
But what is surprising is that although this clearly looks like a place where goblins live, there is not a single goblin in sight.
Maybe he was sent out by Frost Krach on an errand?
With this thought in mind, everyone continued to walk forward for a while and came to a wide square, and then they saw the corpses of goblins all over the ground!
"Is this?" Everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and Toby was even more shocked.
Tang Hao immediately stepped forward and inspected the corpses of the goblins. He found that the causes of death of these goblins were various. Some were hacked to death, some were beaten to death, and some were frozen into ice sculptures by magic. ...Of course, more of them didn't even have complete bodies, but turned into pieces of broken ice.
"Did...that crazy magician do this?" Asuna asked with a pale face.
"I don't think so." Kirito shook his head, "Although I don't know exactly what type of magician that is, but since she can kill goblins with ice magic, there is no need to use other means, and here, there are many The goblin was killed by a sharp weapon."
"Ice can also be made into sharp weapons."
"But why would she do this? The goblins here are all her slaves. If it was just for shock, it would be enough to kill a few demonstrators, but there are nearly a hundred goblins here. This number That’s almost the total number of the magician’s servants, right?”
"this……"
Asuna was immediately speechless.
"Kirito is right." At this time, Tang Hao slowly stood up.
"Why?" Asuna couldn't find any room to refute, so when she heard this, she was somewhat unhappy.
Tang Hao didn't notice her little emotion and pointed to somewhere on the ground, "Nuo."
The two of them looked around and saw a huge footprint - a cow's hoof footprint!
"The Bull-headed King Sauta!"
The two said in unison.
"That's right." Tang Hao nodded, "After Sauta kidnapped Celia, if he wanted to return to his own territory, he had to pass through this frost forest, and with its power, he didn't have to take a detour to find the entrance like we did. , just break through the ice at the shortest distance and rush in. But Frost Krach is a crazy magician, and there will be a battle between the two powers, so these goblins became cannon fodder."
Speaking of this, Tang frowned slightly.
In his impression, although Sauta is a Minotaur, he is very gentle in nature, and Toby also said before that as long as he does not actively provoke it or deliberately destroy the forest, even if there is a conflict, Sauta will generally He won't kill him directly.
But now, these goblins are dying more miserably than the other...
It was clear that something was wrong with Sauta.
"Let's go quickly. I suspect that Sauta may be violent." Tang Hao immediately looked for the cow's footprints and ran forward. He was not too worried about Celia's situation before, because after all, Sauta is still essentially Celia's subordinates, even if she doesn't remember, but if Sauta really loses reason due to rage, then Celia's situation will be very dangerous.
With her small body, she would be split in half with just one strike of an ax.
"Where is Frost Krach?" Asuna asked as she ran.
"That's not necessary." Tang Hao shook his head, "We didn't see her just now, which means she is either dead or escaped, otherwise there wouldn't be so many goblins dead."
After all, Sauta was once the guardian of Gran Forest. In its heyday, it was still a level 75 boss. Even if it is weakened now, Frost Krach may not be its opponent, and some of these goblins may be Being controlled by Krach and used as cannon fodder to delay Sauta... Otherwise, under normal circumstances, if these two giants went to war, the Goblin would have run far away with his cowardly character. How could he dare to come out as cannon fodder? .
It doesn't matter whether Krach escaped successfully or died.
…
Graka, the tauren tribe.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Stop it!"
A Minotaur was half kneeling on the ground, crying and shouting, but no matter how loud it sounded, it could not stop the ax in front of it from coming down... With a crash, as the heavy ax fell, the Minotaur was instantly split in half. , terrible to look at.
The bull-headed king Sauta, at this moment, black energy fills his body, his red hair is like flames, his eyes are red, as if he has completely lost his mind, not only the axe, but also the body is covered with blood and minced meat, on one side Roaring wildly, he kept slashing at the surrounding tauren.
More than ten meters away, a bull-headed guard had tears streaming down his face, but he quickly turned around, carried a human girl next to him on his shoulders, and cried: "The king has been completely destroyed by the darkness. The power has been eroded, and there is no way to save you. However, I will definitely save you, and while my fellow tribesmen are still alive, please escape no matter what...Miss Celia!"
The girl pursed her lips tightly, "But..."
"You must live!" the bull-headed guard shouted, running forward with all his strength.
But soon, there was a heavy sound behind him.
The bull-headed guard instinctively looked back and found that the last tribesman had fallen. At the same time, Sauta's heavy ax flew towards him like a whirlwind.
"ah!"
With a scream, the heavy ax had struck into the back of the bull-headed guard, and its life was cut off instantly. However, before falling, it still used the last bit of strength to throw the girl on its shoulders.
The girl fell to the ground, but ignored the pain and immediately got up. Seeing that Sauta was only a few steps away from the bull-headed guard, she couldn't help shouting: "Sauta, don't..."
"What are you doing!"
Before the girl could finish speaking, the bull-headed guard raised his neck and howled loudly, "Run, run, you are already our last hope, so don't stop..."
