Chapter 109: The Rugged Spine of the World
Bol and Hejia climbed up the rugged mountain road.
In the end, Bol did not dig the ice hole and followed Hejia to the settlement of the Frostbeard clan.
From a certain dimension, Bol did not think that a person favored by God would lose his life so easily.
Those favored by gods will always be protected by gods on their growth path, so the worries of a mortal like me are a bit unnecessary.
With this beautiful misunderstanding, Bol decided to go to the Frostbeard Clan first. After all, what Hejia said was quite serious.
The Spine of the World has never been a safe haven.
The giant ice worms waiting for prey under the snow are one of the frost giants' favorite foods, but their size means they are not easy to mess with.
Often, hunting an adult ice worm is enough to feed twenty or so frost giants for a month.
So the relationship between this thing and the Frost Giants is that they serve as food for each other.
In addition to the dangers beneath the snow, the sky above the Spine of the World is also very unsafe.
Some white dragons with low intelligence often appear here, and almost all creatures living here are their hunting targets.
Of course, it was not these that caused the sharp decline in the population of the Frost Giant Clan, but the wild giants who were not much smaller than them, but much more numerous than them.
After humans left this mountain range covered with ice and snow all year round, the abandoned buildings left behind became the natural camps of wild giants.
This group of humanoid creatures, slightly shorter than frost giants but ferocious and beast-like in nature, hunt and kill living creatures on the Spine of the World.
What’s even more terrifying is that although this group of wild giants have mastered language and tools, their social form is still in a very primitive and barbaric state.
They are cannibals, or more precisely, they eat their own people as sacrifices and to supplement their daily food rations.
Therefore, the Frost Giants, who looked slightly different from them, also became food for this group of primitive giants who ate raw meat and drank blood.
Before he reached adulthood, Bol had seen frost giants injured in conflicts with wild giants.
When they were carried back, they were either covered in bruises or had broken limbs.
Since Bol left, the attacks of the wild giants have become more and more frequent.
Fortunately, the Frostbeard Clan, which has a spellcaster, still has a great advantage in the confrontation.
But the situation in recent years has not been optimistic.
"Remember those alien creatures that swept across the North?"
“Of course, they almost wiped out the entire North District Cult before.
After I took over the North District, I also killed a few lone ones in the Haze Forest.
The fighting ability of these monsters is terrifying.”
In a moment of carelessness, the finger that was holding onto a protruding rock slipped off, and Boll quickly steadied himself.
He looked back and down at the steep mountain wall. He hadn't walked this mountain road for decades, so it seemed a little unfamiliar.
“During the invasion twelve years ago, this group of monsters bypassed Frostbeard’s territory and rushed directly into the frozen plains;
But this time, it seems they are targeting us.”
"Of course, at this very moment, Oluer went mad?"
"It's a weird coincidence, isn't it?"
Hejia jumped onto a huge rock and looked ahead to make sure that the winding path was not yet buried by the snow.
The frost giant warrior turned around and pulled her brother onto the boulder so that the half-giant could rest on the rock.
"In my opinion, there must be some connection between the invasion of this group of alien species and the changes in the gods."
Pol gasped and did not answer the question.
But his furrowed brows made him look like he didn't think it was nonsense.
Druids, priests of the natural pantheon, although not as close to the gods as priests;
But high-level druids will always know some secrets of the gods.
……
In the pitch-black corridor, Alvin stumbled as he flew upwards.
It’s not actually accurate to say it’s flying.
As a magic innate only possessed by elementals and some dark elves, [Levitation] can only make people float in mid-air, like a low-power anti-gravity device in science fiction novels.
Slow speed, poor control, and not very high altitude...
This kind of magic is simply a great help in making yourself a sitting duck in battle.
Therefore, the group of dark elves would only use the [Floating Technique] when wiping the huge statue.
But this thing becomes a little different for Alvin.
Not only does it last longer, but Alvin can also slowly increase his altitude bit by bit. Apart from the fact that the speed is still hilarious, this thing is like riding a balance bike, which is quite interesting.
Under the guidance of the ice elemental aggregate, Alvin did not plan to return the same way, but went directly into a tunnel near the Frostbeard settlement.
[At the Spine of the World... This is the fastest way to the Frostbeard Clan...
Believe me... after gathering all the memories of the ice element... I know almost everything...】
[Okay, Baymax, this pipe won’t lead to the frost giant’s toilet, right…]
[Meat Man Ivan… What does toilet mean… And… I did not agree to use the name Dabai…]
Recalling the previous conversation, Alvin began to wonder in his heart again.
Whether this road is right or not is aside for now. The big light curtain didn’t say that the corridor would be winding…
Look at this arm and this head, what have they done to them...
Alvin rubbed his red forehead and floated slowly upwards at a speed not much faster than walking.
……
"Captain Xiling!"
A nimble figure descended from the treetop, and the light footsteps did not leave a single footprint on the snow.
The Elf Ranger Lin Liya lifted her hood and looked at the half-elf in front of her with excitement.
"What Philohill said is correct. The invading ice elements have been completely wiped out.
I scouted some distance towards the frozen plains, but didn't find any elementals."
Xiling held a short spear in her hand, which was a new weapon she found in the warehouse, used to replace the previously damaged spear stick.
"It seems that we can reduce the number of patrols on the north side a little. Let's go and take a look at the east side next.
We must defend our station until the Master and Ivan return."
"Don't be so nervous, Xiao Xiling.
Your new weapon is covered with finger marks from your pinching.
I've never seen you so worried about Paul...
Oh, yes, there is also an Ivan this time..."
Todd, who was in charge of supporting this parade, looked at the half-elf girl half-jokingly.
That little girl from before has grown up...tsk tsk tsk...
“Ah…ah? No!
I'm just not familiar with this weapon...
We quickly finished the tour, Alia said she would use the ripe crops to make some new dishes today..."
A half-elf with his face covered by a hood walked deep into the forest without looking back.
"Uncle Todd, aren't we going east?"
Lin Liya pointed to the other side, indicating that Xiling had gone in the wrong direction.
“It’s okay, just follow Xiling.
As long as she doesn’t get lost, she can go anywhere…”
