Chapter 105 3.27 Landing And... The Adventure Begins!
The next morning, after a hearty breakfast, Loki and his four companions, along with Youmu, stood in the cabin fully armed.
Last night, when Old Gore and his three companions fell asleep, he and Youmu had packed everything they needed for this expedition. After more than 20 days of nourishment, the five hungry sled dogs had shiny hair and were full of energy.
Everyone was ready to set off.
"Before we set off, let me repeat our purpose."
"1. Avoid all unnecessary battles!"
"We just found the fleet and encountered such a huge hermit crab. I'm afraid there are still many prehistoric creatures left over from the ancient times on this island. If it's not necessary, we can hide and avoid it!"
"2. After walking on land, everyone will look around and look for all the footprints or traces of the previous people.
It has been 50 years since the expedition team led by Tang Xiao Lu landed! The smell they left in the snow has long disappeared. When the sled dogs can't be relied on, we can only rely on our own eyes."
Seeing everyone nod at the same time, Loki exhaled a breath of snow-white mist, clasped his hands together and prayed softly.
(If this is the land in my memory, Iceland is nearly 100,000 square meters! It would take a long time for us to find an ancient city on foot)
In this case, we can only hope that we can still have some luck
(The Holy Lord in the sky, if you really exist, please bless me to find some benefits! You know, it was actually me who really asked Jerome to build the church!)
The three people around him looked a little nervous, only Yum was still stroking the broadsword that Loki had just put into his hand with a pair of smart eyes. Gently rubbing the black hair on his head twice, Loki opened the door curtain,
Several people faced the wind and snow and plunged into the dark night again!
**
Climbing up the cliff by the sea from the frozen ship, the five people landed on this land within the Arctic Circle for the first time.
Dark clouds rolled in the gloomy sky. In the gap between the dark clouds, when the bright moon and starlight shone on this continent, Loki saw a black and white continent.
White, of course, is the ice and snow that can be seen everywhere.
Black, is the black peaks that tower into the sky one after another. These peaks are not the vertical shapes commonly seen on human land, but like melted chocolate, with arcs and hooks.
They are scattered and irregular.
Not far in front of Loki, there is a big tree with a height of nearly 7 meters. This tree is also very strange. The whole tree is smooth like some underground creature that arches out of the soil, and the branches are composed of wildly growing spikes.
There is not a single leaf on the whole tree.
Under the tree, Loki saw a white cross mark. If it is not wrong, this should be the mark left by Xiao Lu's expedition team 50 years ago.
"This is the common logo of the 'Crusaders': the Holy Cross Emblem." Lawrence said. The huge cross was carried behind him again, making him look quite weird.
"In the process of fighting with pagans, the Crusaders will use white crosses to mark safe areas, and red inverted crosses to mark dangerous areas. There is a white cross here, so it should be safe."
Loki nodded and led everyone forward. Emma took out a pen and paper and squatted on the ground. It took less than a minute to quickly outline the outline and appearance of the ancient tree with a charcoal pencil. She wanted to take off her gloves and touch the strange tree with both hands, but was ruthlessly rejected by Loki.
"If you still want this hand, it's best not to do this."
He still remembered the strange death of old Walder in the City of Water. If the expectation is correct, this strange tree that can perfectly blend with the strange mountain in the distance should also come from outer space. It is very likely that this mysterious "Leviathan" was brought along when it descended from outer space to the earth.
There is no record of the creatures on the island in Xiao Lu's notebook, so Loki dare not take any risks.
Everyone cheered up and continued to move forward.
The most excited person in the group was Old Gore. He gave Zhou Yu the impression of being like his parents in his previous life. He took photos when he got off the bus and slept when he got on the bus. The only purpose of the trip was to get the photos and hang them on the wall, and show them off to the aunts and uncles who came to visit after returning home.
"Haha, it's so comfortable! This is like a continent made of melted whale oil soap! Today, I, Old Gore, have really opened my eyes. After I die, I must brag to my brothers in Valhalla about what I saw and heard during this trip!"
Yom walked obediently at the end of the queue. Like all half-grown children, he seemed to like the sled dogs in the team very much. He was afraid that the dogs pulling the sleds would be exhausted. He also took the initiative to pick up two packages filled with food to help them lighten their burden.
After walking for most of the day, until they entered a cave to rest for a while, Loki saw that he had been carrying such heavy luggage on his shoulders. He quickly walked to his side and hurriedly took the package off his tender shoulders.
"You are not allowed to carry these things, understand!"
Yom widened his watery orange eyes and looked at the five sled dogs not far away with a little anxiety. Seeing this, Loki habitually stretched out his big hand and rubbed his hair. Facing this child with a heart as pure as a blank sheet of paper, he knew he had to change his words.
"I know you feel sorry for these dogs, but you see they have gained weight in the past few days. If they don't move around, they will be too fat to move!"
"If they can't move, anything can kill them, right?"
Yom nodded hesitantly. Loki put the broadsword back into his hand.
"I know you haven't used a sword before, but it's not difficult to use. If you see anything that moves, just stab it with the tip, understand?"
After urgently training the swordsmanship course in one sentence, Loki took out food and distributed it to him, and returned to the front of the team again. He looked at his hands hesitantly, and some doubts rose in his heart.
The child wore a bearskin hat and carried no less than 50 kilograms of supplies on his shoulders. He didn't know how long he had been walking.
How come he didn't sweat a drop?
Carrying the axe and walking all the way, even Loki himself couldn't help sweating slightly. But the child's hair was extremely dry, and he didn't even breathe.
Looking back secretly, he saw Youm tearing the chicken in his hand into long strips, looking at him evasively, and then quietly running to the middle of several sled dogs to feed them the food.
Shaking his head helplessly, he had to pretend that he didn't see it. But at the same time, he had more worries in his heart.
This is a living sacrifice who has already stepped into the realm of demigod. With such a high rank, he is afraid that he will become the target of jealousy of the high-sequence God Chosen in the world.
(Such a kind child, how can he survive in this chaotic world?)
He broke the frozen dough with force and just wanted to take a bite. But Lawrence, the ship's doctor, hurriedly ran over from the cave entrance.
"Lord, we can't stay here for long!"
Following his fingertips, Loki saw an inverted cross mark on the wall of the cave entrance with the light of the fire, which was slightly dimmed by the erosion of time.
