Chapter 632 [Wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep]
On the third day after entering the mountain, Muse vaguely saw some clues about this team, which seemed to be trying to cross the Kilimaro Mountains!
This discovery surprised the Muse quite a bit!
The Kilimaro Mountains are a huge natural barrier on the continent from north to south, stretching across the continent from northwest to southwest, winding for thousands of kilometers. The continuous mountains are like a creeping mountain on the continent.
The only gap in the giant snake is the "Northwest Corridor" in the northwest Desa Province.
In addition, other places are all majestic mountains towering into the clouds... Some mountains are so continuous that there is no end at a glance; some are solitary peaks like clouds, which make people sigh in admiration.
.
If you want to cross such a mountain range, you will encounter countless cliffs, steep mountain roads, natural chasms, and solitary peaks, which are naturally dangerous places!
It is said that even the lowest peak in the Kilimaro Mountains is over three thousand meters high!
After the team entered the mountain, they first followed a mountain road all the way up in the past three days. After one day, the mountain road became steeper and narrower as they went further in.
However, although the mountain road is difficult to walk, these wolf knights are naturally extremely agile. Even in such a rugged terrain, if they were human cavalry, they would have been unable to move forward. But those wolf knights,
He can still control the giant wolf, jump and move forward lightly on the mountain road.
Even the six hundred elves gave up their carts and walked on foot. The elves were already slender and their movements were as nimble as the wind, so it was no problem.
The only one who suffered was Muse. Along the way, two days of hiking on the mountain, her feet had already developed blisters. After the blisters burst, she felt burning pain every step she took. Muse didn't want to
He lost his dignity in front of these enemies and just gritted his teeth secretly and persisted fiercely.
A large group of wolf riders walked hard in the mountains. At night, they lit a fire, prepared the food and dried meat that the wolf riders carried, and divided them to eat. The elves did not eat these dried meats, but took some with them.
Muse, on the other hand, felt even more miserable. In this team, it seemed that all the wolf riders were male werewolves, but the elves seemed to have no distinction between men and women. The only one was Muse, a woman.
However, she had not bathed for ten days. When she was on the road with Longbottom and others, she had not seen water for four days. It had been so many days since Bei was captured. At this moment, she felt that there was no place on her body that was not unbearably itchy.
Muse was originally a girl. Although she had suffered a lot after entering the military camp, it was still a bit intolerable to not take a shower for more than ten days.
When they reached the fourth heaven and earth on the mountain road, Langqi began to consciously save food.
After all, it was a group of five thousand wolf riders. Before entering the mountain, they brought a lot of grain carts with them. However, after entering the mountain, those grain carts could only be left outside the mountain. The wolf riders only carried them with them for a few days.
Just rations and dried meat for mounts.
Obviously, the rations they carry with them are not enough to sustain them until they cross the mountain range. According to estimates, if they want to cross this mountain range, even if they are lucky and can take the nearest mountain road, it will take less than twenty or thirty days.
.If you get lost in the mountains, it is normal for you to not be able to get out for two or three months.
Fortunately, these orcs and wolves have natural talents. They will not get lost in such mountains and forests. After walking for a few days, it seems that being in such wild mountains has stimulated the talents in their blood.
Come wild.
Later, these wolves could easily find water sources and the most convenient mountain roads in the mountains and forests without even carefully identifying them.
There are even ground wolf riders who patrol around during their breaks and will soon bring back some hunted beasts to replenish their food reserves.
By the time she reached the seventh heaven, Muse's leather boots were worn out. She could only quietly pull a strip of cloth from her close-fitting clothes, wrap it around her feet, and then walk hard in the worn boots.
The narrow mountain road leads up to a distant mountain peak. Because of the narrowness of the mountain road, the large army is compressed into a long snake queue. The road can only accommodate two wolf riders walking side by side, and the team is dragged for a long time.
The elder is long.
Muse was walking staggeringly, but there were cliffs around him. Looking down, he saw that the winding mountain road and the mountain road below were all filled with his own group of wolf riders.
After climbing over this high mountain, the team finally reached above the "snow line"!
From here, as we continue forward, we can see that the peaks one after another are covered with white snow. The air suddenly becomes colder, and above the top of the snow bee, the oxygen is even thinner.
Si's body could no longer hold up at first, and now he felt as if a stone was pressing on his chest. Even though he took a deep breath, he still felt out of breath.
The thick snow and ice underfoot brought great difficulties to the team.
Muse's boots were already torn. After walking for less than half a day, a lot of ice and snow filled the boots. They were first stimulated by body temperature, melted, and then froze again. It almost caused her feet to freeze.
Fortunately, the elves seemed to be very kind to Muse along the way. Some elves saw that Muse was walking strangely, so they came up and helped her sit down. After taking off her boots, they saw Muse's feet
The few blisters on her ankles had long since been smoothed away, but the originally tender skin was red from the cold. As soon as the elf's hand touched her ankle, Muse almost cried out in pain.
"You have frostbite. Fortunately, I discovered it. Otherwise, if you had walked for half a day, your feet would have been frozen."
Then, the elf took out a pair of boots from the bag he was carrying and handed them to the muse. The boots had a very strange shape, with one tip raised high and a leaf inlaid on the ankle.
What’s even stranger is that when you touch these boots, they don’t feel like they are made of animal skin, but...
"This is made of the skin of a kind of tree vine." The elf looked very gentle and said with a smile: "We, the elves, are a natural race, and naturally we will not kill animals to take their skins. There is a special species cultivated in our clan.
The tree vines will automatically shed their skin every summer. Peel off the surface bark. This bark is strong and elastic, no worse than animal skin."
Muse noticed that the other party used the word "we elves", but this wording was a bit strange. It seemed that he was included in it.
However, this elf spoke the language of the human empire very fluently, and his attitude was very gentle, which made Muse feel a little closer to him.
"Put on these boots and walk in them. Your feet won't get cold."
Muse was a little confused and changed her boots. Sure enough, she felt dry and warm. Her feet, which were originally frozen, soon felt warm.
"These boots are waterproof. In the summer, we also use the bark of this tree to make clothes. Wear them when we jump into the lake without getting wet." This kind elf glanced at the muse again.
clothing.
Muse was still wearing the mercenary uniform. But when he was walking on the mountain road a few days ago, many places were scratched by branches and looked a bit tattered. So the elf took out another cloak and gave it to him with his own hands.
Muse put it on and said softly: "This is a magic cloak. Wear it and you won't be afraid of the cold."
Muse allowed the other party to put a cloak on her, and felt a mass of magic heat naturally emitting from the cloak, and her whole body gradually warmed up.
She didn't know what to do, but she looked at the elf in front of her blankly, and couldn't help but feel a little soft. Although the two sides were enemies rather than friends, these elves treated her very well along the way. At this moment, they were sending boots and
He was giving her clothes, and his words were gentle. He didn't treat her as a prisoner of war at all, but as if she were the same kind.
"You...why are you so nice to me?" Muse shook her head vigorously.
"Because... we are the same." The elf smiled, stood up, and walked forward along the line again.
Muse was stunned and couldn't help but murmured: "Same..."
It turns out that the three sisters of the Liszt family are half-blood elves. Mrs. Liszt only told Angel, but Muse had no idea.
But at this moment, these elves' gentle words to her made her involuntarily feel a natural feeling of closeness in her heart.
With those magical leather boots and magic cloak, Muse finally no longer had to endure the torture of the cold. Just the trek on the mountain road was physically taxing, but it also made Muse feel strenuous.
Especially on high mountains, it was difficult to breathe. After walking for a while, the dizzy feeling made her almost fall off the cliff several times. Fortunately, the elf next to her held her back.
But on the tenth day, despite repeated efforts to save food, the food was finally finished.
Those wolf riders scattered and began to search for food. Fortunately, there were still many blue sheep, snow chickens, snow foxes and the like surviving on the snow-capped mountains.
In this area, there are few people around. These beasts are not afraid of people and don't know how to run away. And the wolf riders move quickly and hunt everywhere.
The six hundred elves also made huge contributions.
They brought with them a kind of plant species unique to the elves. The elves sprinkled these species on the snow, and then used the magic of the elves. Then the seeds immediately grew and sprouted in the snow, and soon they saw a plant in the snow.
One green plant after another suddenly climbed up!
These plants were intertwined like several vines, and soon formed thick tree trunks. The highest point was even more than ten meters high!
The branches and leaves grew in just one meal. The smallest leaves were as big as a basin, and the largest ones were as big as a tabletop.
And then, after six hundred elves collectively chanted a spell, purple light enveloped this small piece of magic plant. Soon, fruits grew one by one on the trunk. In an instant, dozens of big trees grew.
, it is full of fruits!
Each of those fruits was as big as a pumpkin. Seeing this dazzling array of huge fruits, many wolves and elves cheered.
Soon, an elf picked off a fruit and handed it to the Muse. He took out a dagger and gently cut it open. The flesh inside was golden. The Muse took a small bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance, and the flesh was delicate and full.
, I only ate three or five bites before I felt full.
The other wolf tribes also happily picked all the fruits on the trees and shared them.
After all the fruits were picked, these big trees quickly withered. The green branches and leaves quickly turned yellow and shrank, gradually shrank, and finally turned into a seed in the snow. But this used one
The seeds look yellow and withered.
"Don't worry, it's not dead." The elf recovered the seeds one by one: "We just have to wait for us to find a suitable water source and re-soak these seeds in water for a few days. After a year, it will regain its vitality."
The elves brought a full bag of the seeds of this magical plant.
