Chapter 177 The horror of the snowfield
“Your Excellency Russell, Your Excellency Karis!” Lord Stephen, who had a slender horse face and was encamped in the northeast corner, responded calmly.
As a fellow Lord, it was only natural for Russell to come over and say hello.
However, seeing that Lord Stephen was not enthusiastic, Russell was too lazy to talk anymore and returned to his camp.
Knight Commander Caris soon followed: “Your Excellency Stephen is like this. He has a cold face towards everyone, even when he meets the Earl. Don’t mind.”
“I don’t mind.” Russell smiled, “It’s been a hard day, Mr. Karis, let’s have a glass of frozen wine together.”
“As you wish.” Knight Commander Karis responded happily.
After Ram, the valet, cooked dinner, the two sat on the floor, having a simple dinner and sipping the frozen wine.
“It’s so relaxing to have a sip of ice cream in the snow.” Knight Commander Caris praised.
Russell smiled and said: “Who says it isn’t?”
Bingshao is frozen wine. It tastes like ice in the mouth, but burns like fire when it enters the throat, so it is called Bingshao by the public.
Russell didn’t have much interest in wine, so he didn’t do much research, but he also knew that knights and business travelers walking on the snowfield loved to drink frozen wine.
The so-called frozen wine is to freeze the wine, and when the wine starts to freeze, remove the frozen part first. The remaining part is the frozen wine, also known as ice roasting.
According to Russell, this is probably because the freezing point of alcohol is lower than that of water, so water freezes first. In this way, removing the frozen water is equivalent to distilling the wine once.
That’s why the ice burn is so violent, and it burns into the throat like fire.
After drinking a bottle of ice cream, Karis stood up and said goodbye: “Thank you for your hospitality. You can rest early. I’m going back.”
“Your Excellency, please do so.”
After dinner, although it was still early, the lively atmosphere at Cold Spring Point had dissipated, and most of the people in the caravan had finished eating and started to sleep.
Only a few livestock were left, making one or two sounds from time to time.
Russell also fell asleep quickly, and then at some point, his consciousness lit up again, and the dark dream had arrived.
“Gah!”
“Set off!”
Without even looking at the situation near the cold spring point, Russell rode Little Menglong directly and chose to fly south: “In this direction, south of the Shuanghe Commercial Road and south of the entire Shadow Flame Grand Duchy, you can definitely find the Snow Demon!”
The Shuanghe Commercial Road runs east-west. This is the southernmost commercial road in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy. Further south, there is the boundless snowfield.
Xiao Menglong bared his teeth and shouted, responding to Russell: “Gah!”
Thirty kilometers per hour! The wings flapped non-stop, and there was no wind in the dream, but Russell felt that his hair was already flying.
I thought it would take a while to search before we could find traces of the Snow Ghost. However, not even half an hour into the flight, that is to say, only three or four kilometers away from the cold spring point, I saw a cluster of blue light suddenly blooming in front of me.
“Great luck from heaven?” Russell was surprised.
But the surprise only lasted for a minute, and then turned into fright. However, among this cluster of blue light, there were three points of dark blue light, which were particularly eye-catching.
What was even more frightening was that this group of snow ghosts headed by three snow demons actually flew towards Russell and Little Menglong. They couldn’t see Russell and Little Dream Dragon, which meant that they were rushing towards the cold spring point.
“Something’s wrong, ice cream!”
Russell frowned: “There are one or two hundred snow ghosts in this group. There are not only three blue-skinned ones, but also nearly ten large green-skinned ones. If they rush into the cold spring point, can they defend themselves?”
“Gah?”
“No, we have to get rid of some green skin first!”
After Russell reacted, he quickly directed Xiao Menglong: “Ice cream, the old plan is to eat the green skin first, eat all the green skin, then eat the big green skin, and then eat the blue skin!”
“Gah!” Xiao Menglong agreed immediately.
So next it was Xiao Menglong’s turn to start eating.
In just a few minutes, all the green-skinned snow ghosts were wiped out. This undoubtedly made the three speeding snow ghosts notice something unusual. Then they each wielded ice crystal weapons and slashed at the air randomly, but they could not stop the snow ghosts. One by one they disappear.
Like smoke, it disappears with a pop.
“Good job!” Russell was overjoyed, “Speed up a little bit, we’ll be back at the cold spring point soon. If I’m woken up, you won’t be able to eat the Ice Soul Beads!”
“Gah!” How could Xiao Menglong let this happen? His eyes immediately turned red, and his round pupils turned into vertical pupils. As he opened and closed his big mouth, he swallowed up the remaining ten big green skins, and then said to Targeting one of the snow demons.
“Yes, this one, I feel like it has at least two ice soul beads!” Russell encouraged loudly, “Come on, ice cream, after eating it, you will not be hungry for six days!”
“Gah!”
Little Menglong roared, full of milk, and then aimed at the snow demon wielding an ice crystal weapon and sucked it hard.
The dark blue light on the Snow Demon quickly turned into a vortex on his chest.
“Oops!” Russell scratched his head in embarrassment. It seemed that luck was not on his side today. This snow demon only had one ice soul bead.
However, Xiao Menglong had already opened his mouth and started sucking, and it was too late to change it, so he had to solve it first.
After all, after experiencing growth, Xiao Menglong’s devouring ability has become more powerful.
This snow demon couldn’t struggle at all. It could only open its big mouth and roar silently, and then completely disappeared from Youmeng’s clone the moment the ice soul beads were formed. The two snow demons were left at a loss, with their mouths wide open.
He seems to be angry at the disappearance of his companions.
“Crack…” Little Menglong happily chewed up the ice soul beads, swallowed them wholeheartedly, and then turned to look at Russell.
It seemed that he was going to say hello to Russell and then go back to digest it slowly.
Russell also wanted to ask Little Menglong if he could continue to eat. It would be a waste to still have two snow demons to deal with.
But the next moment, consciousness returned to silence.
As if he had a long dream, Russell was in a trance and heard someone calling him: “Master, Master!”
He opened his eyes suddenly: “What’s wrong?”
“Master, the knights on guard have discovered traces of the snow demons. Two snow demons are running towards us!” Ram, the valet, said anxiously.
Russell was excited.
He quickly got up, put the dark gold ceramic armor on his body in a hurry, then picked up the green ceramic sword and walked out of the tent.
Outside the tent, the entire Cold Spring Point camp was disturbed and there was a lot of noise.
Knight Commander Caris brought his phantom beast, the ice crystal white wolf, and walked quickly towards Russell: “Your Excellency Russell, please be careful. The sentry has discovered the snow demon, and there are two snow demons. Now I want to meet up with Mr. Stephen. , fight against the snow demon!”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Karis, I will protect myself.” Russell nodded and did not try to fight.
Those were two snow demons. Even if they were just naked and without any subordinates, they were still not something that a knight in armor like him could deal with.
Fortunately, it is just an ordinary blue skin, not the kind of riding blue skin that rides a snow beast. If it is a riding blue skin, only the two-legged flying dragon can deal with it.
“S-Sir…” Ram, the valet, held an iron sword and followed Russell tremblingly.
“Guard the carriage and protect the elves!” Russell ordered in a deep voice, then asked the Red-Eyed Rat King to follow him, “I’ll go to the top of the patio to take a look at the situation!”
“Yes, yes, sir!” Ram nodded repeatedly.
