The snow forest behind him was in a mess, and large tracts of trees had collapsed and broken. They had all been frozen in the ice and snow.
The broken trees covered under the ice and snow are like strange sculptures.
In front of it is a vast flat ice field, seemingly endless and white.
Hussein stood at the edge of the woods, staring coldly at the distance of the ice field. Behind him, Rodriguez sat cross-legged in the snow, grabbed a handful of snow with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he took another bite of dry food that was already frozen hard.
After a while, Rodriguez suddenly smiled and said: "Counting the days, it should be the first day of the New Year now. If it is in the imperial capital or in our city of Loulan, I don't know how many people there will be."
Lively. According to the tradition in our Duke's Mansion, Butler Mudd should have ordered the kitchen to make a lot of... Well, what is the name of that thing, the edible thing invented by the Duke?"
Hussein did not look back, but simply answered with two words: "Dumplings."
"Ah, yes, they are dumplings. Speaking of which, the taste of that thing is really good. Alas, now that the two of us are drinking snow water and eating dry food here, I can't help but miss the taste of that thing.
.”
Hussein then turned around, glanced at Rodriguez, frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on. In the past two days, I haven't seen a single monster around."
Rodriguez also nodded: "Yes, we have been eating dry food for two days, but we can't even catch a single prey."
Hussein sat next to Rodriguez and also grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he looked at the ice field in the distance: "If I wait another day, if there are still no clues... I want to go north to look.
look."
Rodriguez frowned: "North? You mean, the place in the north of this ice sheet where dragons live?"
Previously, Rodriguez was entrusted by Du Wei and found Hussein halfway. The two of them went north together, entered the frozen forest, and then went all the way north to inquire about news. But after the two entered the forest, they crossed the Great Round Lake.
The forest was surprisingly quiet. Although the two found many large-scale footprints touched by monsters, but since the torrent of monsters raged, the monsters retreated into the forest, but seemed to be scattered and hiding.
In the forest, there was no sound of animals or traces of animals.
Along the way, Hussein also knew what Du Wei meant, so he told him about the sacred mountain in the north of the frozen forest, behind the forgotten ice field, which is where the dragon tribe lives. And the mission of the dragon tribe, etc.
Wait, etc., they all told Rodriguez. Of course Rodriguez was extremely surprised when he heard it...
However, the two of them reached the edge of the forest and still found nothing. They had been sitting at the northern end of the forest for two days, but there was no clue. Hussein was still thinking about it, so he decided to continue north to the Dragon Clan territory.
Inquiry ideas.
"But, you said that there is an ancient huge magic circle on this ice field. Can you pass this magic circle?"
Hussein thought for a while: "When we came back last time, we have seen through the weakness of this magic circle. The stronger you are, the more you resist, and the power of the magic circle will be triggered. As long as I carefully restrain my breath,
When encountering a small earth storm, you don’t need to resist it with grudges, and I guess it won’t trigger a large-scale attack... there should be no problem.”
Although he said this, there must still be some confusion in his heart.
Rodriguez thought for a while and then said: "Since you have decided, let's go together."
Hussein shook his head: "If you continue to go north, the danger will be much greater. But it is far less than this frozen forest. In this forest, with the strength of you and me, we are not afraid of encountering monsters. But if you go north,
, that is the territory of the Dragon Clan, and the leader of the Dragon Clan and I have a big feud. If we meet, it will be a fight to the death. I think I am not his opponent. It will be extremely dangerous if he goes there. Even if you are included, it will be the same. Du Wei cannot be missing from his side.
If I don’t have help, I’ll go alone. You’d better stay here, just in case...in case I can’t come back, you can continue to help Du Wei.”
Rodriguez was about to say something, but suddenly his heart moved. He felt something unusual in the distance. He raised his head and looked north, blurting out: "Look!"
The two of them looked north together. On the originally calm ice field between them, on the horizon in the distance, a storm came roaring from far to near! The sky was so densely covered with dark clouds that it seemed like it would make people unable to breathe!
Under the storm, on the far horizon, there seemed to be an extremely faint figure, staggering and trying to move forward in the storm...
Rodriguez and Hussein looked at each other, jumped up at the same time, jumped out of the forest, and rushed towards the figure in the north of the ice field...
In the distance, on the horizon, the outline of the forest is already vaguely visible!
How far is it? Three thousand meters? Four thousand meters?
If it were on a normal day, I would be able to reach such a distance by flying in just two ups and downs. It's a pity that now...
The wound on the chest pulled, and there was another burst of pain. And the light of magic dimmed again... That damn wind, the terrible wind, like countless knives, rolling down densely...
The blood on his chest began to flow again...this time it flowed more violently. Unfortunately, the wound had begun to heal, but along the way, he kept activating magic to contend with the storm, but his body could not get any healing at all.
With the slightest bit of self-cultivation, the wound healed and then burst, burst and then healed, and healed and then burst!
At this moment, I took a deep breath, only to find that my magic power had been exhausted! I could no longer extract any magic power!
Seeing that the light of this magic barrier has weakened, the area covered by the barrier is getting smaller and smaller under the suppression of the storm... getting lower and lower...
My eyes are starting to feel dizzy. The outline of the woods seems to be out of reach...
The Dragon Prince hugged the things in his arms hard...
Just die... But even if you can't walk out of the ice field alive, you can at least send the things in your arms to the woods...
Otherwise, our clan...
Finally, his body softened and he could no longer move forward. He knelt down on the ground with a plop. At this moment, the magic power was exhausted. Under the almost death struggle, his eyes, mouth and nose were all filled with traces of blood.
Blood! This terrifying appearance is really frightening. He supported the ground with one hand and tried to get up...but where was there any strength left in his body?
Thump...thump...
This is not the sound of my own heartbeat, but the sound of the two in my arms...
This strange and rhythmic beating sound seemed to inspire his last bit of potential, and he suddenly roared, with endless reluctance and sadness in the roar of the dragon!
The body stood up tenaciously again. The barrier, as if prompted by the roar, flickered again and suddenly lit up.
Unfortunately, this seems to be a comeback.
After a violent flash, the light suddenly disappeared! As soon as the barrier was gone, the wind knives in the sky swept down crazily!
He finally became desperate in his heart, and using up his last bit of strength, he suddenly threw himself on the ground. He pressed the two objects in his arms tightly under his body, and used his back to resist the wind sweeping down from the sky.
knife!
Chi chi chi chi… countless cutting sounds sounded…
Why...I don't feel any pain at all...
Could it be that I am already dead?
Just before the last trace of consciousness was about to dissipate, he suddenly saw two figures appearing in front of him. Human figures!
The sky was filled with silver light flashing, and the storm that swept down from the sky was instantly defeated.
Then, he finally closed his eyes...
When he woke up again, he found himself lying in the woods. The surrounding woods seemed to have been broken into pieces after a disaster. The broken trees showed what kind of terrible disaster this place had experienced.
.
The next reaction was that he immediately reached out to touch his arms. Fortunately... the two things were still there!
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became wary.
A voice next to me came: "Are you awake?"
He tried hard to open his eyes wide, and then he gradually saw clearly that a human was standing in front of him, looking down at him.
"I recognize you, you are the eldest prince of the Dragon Clan, right?"
Just when he was shocked, the man's next words reassured him.
"I am not your enemy. I am a member of the Tulip Duke. My name is Hussein."
Duwei...
Duwei...
Well, that's the human being who plays the piano and makes friends with me.
The Dragon Prince was finally relieved.
He didn't know how long he had been asleep, but the slightest movement of his body and the severe pain from the wound almost made him faint again.
In a hoarse voice, he reluctantly said: "Please, please help me get up."
Behind him, a pair of strong arms lifted him up. The Dragon Prince turned around and saw a handsome middle-aged man smiling gently at him: "My name is Rodriguez."
"Dear Dragon Prince." Hussein stood in front of him: "We were entrusted by Du Wei to come here to inquire about the news. Looking at your appearance, could it be that something bad happened to the Dragon Clan?"
The Dragon Prince was silent for a while, with a hint of defeat in his eyes. Finally, after a long time, he smiled miserably: "Dragon clan... there is no longer any dragon clan in this world!"
??!!
Ignoring Hussein and Rodriguez looking at each other, Prince Long took a deep breath. Although the pain in his chest made his body tremble, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "I...I can't do it anymore.
, but I am lucky to meet you before I die."
As he spoke, he gasped hard, but the sound of his breathing was like a broken bellows.
"I'm sorry." Rodriguez sighed. The paladin looked helplessly at the dragon prince on the ground: "I have checked your injuries... You are too seriously injured. There is nothing we can do. I can see
There is a powerful force in your body, which destroyed half of your lungs, but that force is still in your body. If you hadn't suppressed it yourself, I'm afraid you would have died long ago. It's a pity that you are not human,
You are a dragon, so human healing magic has no effect on you. And..."
Hussein also sighed: "Besides, there was originally a spring water that could heal your injuries. Unfortunately...after the earthquake, the spring water has dried up."
The Dragon Prince smiled laboriously: "It doesn't matter, I... I can only hold on for a little while longer, so please tell Duke Tulip what I'm going to say below. Because... in my opinion, among humans,
I'm afraid only he can prevent this disaster..."
His hands had been firmly grasped into the ground, as if enduring great pain, and then he began to tell...
"The Dragon Clan suffered a massive attack from the sinners in the north. This time, they came with ferocious force, huge numbers, and boundless... In order to preserve the power of the Dragon Clan, our great clan leader, my respected father, accepted the attack of those sinners.
The leader, a guy named 'Elf King Luoxue' asked for a duel with it. If my father wins, then the Elf King promises to let their army retreat. And if my father loses, then the Dragon Clan
You must surrender!"
When Hussein heard this, his heart skipped a beat: "Could it be..."
Seeing that the Dragon Prince is in such a desperate state, will the leader of the Dragon Clan...that powerful and almost perverted old Dragon King also lose?
At the beginning, he, Gandolf and Medusa, three strong men who could not defeat each other together, could they actually lose?
The Dragon Prince nodded. His action immediately made Hussein's heart sink to the bottom!
"Father, the decisive battle with that elf lasted for three whole days and three nights, and finally..."
