Chapter 246: Ice Cemetery (1)
Chapter 246: Ice Cemetery (I)
(I was not energetic for several days after working overtime... I made up for it...)
Flying all the way, one day later, the snow-capped southern snowy mountains were already in sight. Along the way, Jakbo was worried that the mixed-race flying dragon would suddenly attack, but it was very quiet along the way. Although he was knowledgeable, this was the first time he went to slay the dragon. If he had no special ability such as "Voice of Brave", which could ignore all his own adverse factors, he probably wouldn't have received this task at the beginning.
The north of the Changhe Plain is adjacent to the wilderness and the temperature is relatively high, while the south is adjacent to the Eternal Ice Ocean. The temperature is extremely low and dripping water turns into ice. The central area where the cold and cold meets is once known as the place of Changchun. It is warm like spring all year round and has a great climate.
Under this special geographical environment, although the Changhe Plain is flat, there are not many places that are truly suitable for human survival.
Due to the existence of the hybrid dragon, most of the central areas in the richest river plain are desolate, allowing wild animals and weeds to desolate this treasure land given to mankind by God. The repeated compression of human living environment has also made this once-human blessed land a place of war. Human beings who once lived and worked in peace and contentment had to fight for the scarce resources, which also caused several forces that were once family-friendly on this land to turn against each other and become enemies of generations.
For these small forces, life is so sad. Just a mixed-blood dragon can completely change their lives for generations.
And Sout and Catherine were once the product of tragedy in this twisted environment. They were unwilling to accept this unacceptable fate, so they left the Long River Plain.
"Since this dragon is so hateful, why don't you find a way to kill it?" Yao Yan asked in confusion while sitting at the top of the cabin. His words made both Sult and Catherine smile bitterly, and even Jakbo rolled his eyes.
This is really like a young master who doesn't know the sufferings of the world. He can say such words. If the dragon could be killed so easily, the dragon-slaying hero would not be regarded as a legendary hero in this world.
In fact, among the many shortcuts on the road of legend, dragon slaying is definitely one of them. Once someone kills a dragon, they will be praised as the title of "Dragon Slaying Hero". This kind of mental power gathered by the reputation of being praised will save them a lot of time on the road of legend. The legendary path of dragon slaying hero is different from ordinary legends. They often get one or two unique abilities because of this title, such as the deterrence and lethality of dragon creatures.
Unfortunately, in this world, dragons and high-level mages are called the two most difficult beings to deal with. Dragons can fight, fly, and use magic. They are born with the power of soul-suppressed dragons. They are fierce and cunning, and they like to hold grudges. They can fight if they can beat them, and they can run away if they can't beat them. It's easy to drive away a dragon, but then they have to face endless revenge. It's difficult to kill a dragon. Not to mention, there are few dragons, and the preferences of each dragon that has appeared in the human world.
The system map is even popularized as an adventurer's introductory knowledge, so as not to accidentally offend a giant dragon and be chased endlessly. Even if you kill a giant dragon and become a dragon-slaying hero, it is not necessarily a good thing, because although the dragon is divided into several camps, it is still a relatively united and short-supported population. Except for the exiled black dragon, killing any other giant dragon, you have to consider whether you can deal with the subsequent pursuit of the dragon clan.
And the black dragon... is funny. Every black dragon that exists in the world is a famous existence. Those who can move them have either embarked on the road to becoming a god long ago or have not been born yet.
Xiake is the least popular black dragon in the world, but its father is the most difficult black dragon to provoke. Whoever dares to provoke ambitious leopards dares to provoke it.
Although the mixed-blooded dragon is not accepted by the dragon clan and is not as powerful as the real dragon in terms of soul, it is still not as Yao Yan thought and can be killed casually.
Centuries have passed since the ice tomb guards settled in the Changhe Plain. For hundreds of years, the largest country in the Changhe Plain has been divided into two due to the compression of the survival field. Although they hated each other, the only goal has not changed. For hundreds of years, the strong men born in the Changhe Plain have reached their peak consciously and could no longer make progress. After they could not make any progress, they would bring their own weapons, gather like-minded companions, and march towards the southern snow-capped mountains, hoping to defeat the mixed-blood dragon with their own strength and kill this super disaster that threatens the entire Changhe Plain.
Over the past few hundred years, countless people have been one after another. It is their corpses that have made the ice cemetery, and their corpses, which have made the great reputation of the ice cemetery guardians.
And now, Yao Yan actually said something that made them laugh and cry in such an understatement.
This world is unfair, and the gap between people is too huge. People who have not experienced the kind of despair and helplessness personally will not understand the pain of living in this shadow since childhood.
With Xiu Te's low and painful statement, Yao Yan frowned. He could not understand this kind of thing, because there was no indestructible object in the world he lived in before, let alone gathering national power. Although the current two principalities, Daowo and Elan, are only located in a corner of the Long River Plain, the entire Long River Plain is about the same size as Asia in the previous life. The area of the two principalities living in a corner is also a country with a large area in the previous life.
"If you can't defeat the dragon yourself, why don't you find a way to hire someone?" Yao Yan said in confusion.
"Why didn't you invite? The nobles of our two major priests must go out for travel, make friends with masters, and explore the existence of the strong, in order to find more allies and help us deal with the mixed-race dragon. But there are so many experts in this world, and now many people have guarded against the nobles of our two major priests, believing that we are ill-gotten and want them to die. The young people of Daowo and Eland are the most unpopular companions outside. Catherine and I still concealed our origins so that we can join the Demon Dragon Guild." Xiute smiled bitterly, "And if our two major priests had not saved money every year to save a fortune from the treasury and kill the mixed-race dragon, how could they have been on the S-level mission list of the Guild Association for so many years?"
"Save a sum of money from the treasury every year? So, will it be added every year?" Yao Yan's eyes immediately shone, "So, the reward is very rich... Jakbo, I have signed an agreement, and the tasks I completed and the materials rewards will be my!"
"Who wants to compete with you? You are a fan of money!" Jakbo gave Yao Yan a disdainful look. Recently, Jakbo has completed several S-level tasks. Those who can become S-level tasks have very generous rewards, and they don't care much about rewards and other things.
"I've got rich, I've got rich!" Yao Yancai muttered in confusion.
Smiling with a wry smile, Sult held Catherine's hand tightly, and Catherine's fingers and Sult were entangled. Even after leaving the Long River Plain, the two of them had never forgotten this great trouble.
It is their fate to come back and fight to the death with the tomb guardians of Han Bing, and it is a fate that cannot be escaped.
They used to think that they would become a member of the long sleep here, but now, they can finally come back and kill this mixed-race dragon.
The airship was flying rapidly, and the snow-white mountains and rivers could be seen in the distance, and the temperature had dropped below the freezing point. Moreover, as the snow-capped mountains in the south became closer and closer, the temperature continued to drop. Even if it was protected in the shield, the airship began to form blue and white frost. At Jakbo's insistence, the airship slightly slowed down and began to be alert. This was already the hometown of the legendary ice guardian, so he could not be careless.
The airship slightly lowered its height and flew against the ground. In the large coniferous forest, there were open spaces that looked like scars. In the open space, there were faint blue light. He took out his telescope and looked down, and saw the orchid ice cubes on the mountain below, and among the ice cubes, people could be seen vaguely.
This is the famous Ice Cemetery, and it is called the Ice Cemetery.
"This is...the Ice Cemetery!" Shute's voice became hoarse.
"These...the people who are sleeping here are the ancestors of Daowo and Eland...it is me...the ancestors of Shute, my grandfather and others...all sleep here..."
"Or won't we go down?" Yao Yan sought their opinions and flew over the heads of these ancestors, which was very disrespectful.
Xiu Te shook his head gently and said, "The most urgent task now is to kill Han Bing's tomb guardian. As long as he can kill it, it will be enough to comfort all the ancestors."
Yao Yan nodded, and at this moment, Xiu Te's expression changed and he said, "Yao Yan, wait!"
This is a desperate road and the final destination of the Daowo Royal Family. Except for the one who died on the battlefield, the final destination of every royal family man is here.
The eternal ice here is their tombs, their own bodies are natural tombstones, their lives are carried by their backbone, and their eyes are their epitaphs.
Qiao Ruoduan wrapped the fur on his body tightly. The thick snow leopard fur could not warm his body. The steel armor on his body was covered with white frost. Before he could walk for a while, he was about to stop and clean the joints of the armor. He finally knew why there were so many discarded armor on the way to come.
Although the armor he was wearing was made of Daowo's royal craftsmanship, well-made and lined with soft animal skin, the biting cold still penetrated his body, making his steps stiff.
