Chapter 253: There is a Bear Before Laban (First Update!) )
The Great Route, the Magnetic Drum Country.
The mountain peaks in the distance are overlapped, covered with a layer of snow, like the monstrous white waves rolled up by the sea. Walking into the snow and stepping on it with your foot, it creaks and squeaks, making it easy to lose your center of gravity.
In this patch of white, several figures pestle a mountaineering pickaxe, slowly moving forward on this rugged mountain road.
The leader seemed to be badly wounded, and every few steps he had to stop and gasp for breath for a long time. Whenever this happens, the people behind him will look at him nervously, fearing that he will fall.
"Captain, I'll carry you up!"
The speaker was Drake's former lieutenant, Moore, as his old partner who had followed him all the way from the boot camp. Moore knew very well that if it weren't for the fact that the injury was really unbearable, the man in front of him would not have been able to stop and rest.
"No need, let's go."
Drake's face turned pale, and he didn't know if he was freezing or bleeding too much.
As he spoke, Drake looked up at the castle hidden in the clouds and snow, and cut it lightly.
"Is the mountain on which the castle is located 5,000 meters high?"
5000 meters is also a very terrifying height for people in the One Piece world! You must know that the empty island of this world is only in the White Sea, where it is only 10,000 meters from the sea below. The place called the White Sea by the people of Sky Island is only about 7,000 meters high.
Living in such a high castle, people will really have a kind of mentality of looking down on all beings and being self-respecting.
At this moment, Drake's ears moved, and he alertly beckoned his subordinates to stop.
"Stop, there's a situation!"
Although his domineering cultivation is not very good, as an animal-based fruit ability, the beast intuition brought to him by the fruit ability lets him know that something is peeking at them.
Warned by Drake, the rest of the people drew their swords and set up their muskets, and watched around vigilantly. Drake also silently took out the saber he was carrying, held it on his chest, and scanned the surroundings.
Suddenly, he looked at him and asked in a low voice.
"Moore, was there so much snow under the roots of that tree over there?"
"Roots? Snow cover? Moore was stunned for a moment, and followed Drake's line of sight. I saw that under a plant that resembled a tower pine on the earth, where the roots of the tree met the ground, there was a bulging semi-circular snowdrift. This snowdrift is as if someone deliberately piled it there, with a sleek outline and a natural arc, and at first glance I thought it was a huge rice ball.
But...... In this snowy and inaccessible place, there are not so many man-made objects.
Click!
Moore's eyes narrowed, he pointed his musket at that side, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Oh!
The bullets propelled by the gunpowder blew up a blush on the "snowdrift", and a piercing scream rang out at the same time.
As soon as they landed on the island, they wounded several civilians and threatened them to go to a doctor. Naturally, no resident would be kind enough to warn them of the dangers on the snowy mountains.
After all, Stockholm syndrome is just an isolated case.
So, Moore's shot can be regarded as a stab in the big basket.
Under the shocked eyes of Drake and the others, the snowdrift slowly stretched out, and then gradually stood up. When it was fully up, it was presented with a giant rabbit that was three meters tall.
Perhaps this kind of thing can no longer be called a rabbit, and the ratio of the head to the body of an ordinary rabbit is no more than 1:5 at most. And the rabbit in front of him, the ratio of the head to the body can no longer be described as small.
But combined with its massive frame, strong forelimbs, and sharp claws, Drake knew why.
Because this thing doesn't seem to live on its head.
Oh!!!
As soon as it stood up, this Rabang did not immediately attack Drake and the others. It grabbed a handful of snow and leaves and slammed it into the wound on its buttocks, then roared to the sky.
A loud roar resounded through the valley, causing Drake's heart to sink directly.
This is not a demonstration or intimidation before the attack, but the cry of a social animal gathering its companions.
So, Drake retreated, pulled Moore and ran down the hill quickly.
"Retreat, it's calling for a companion!"
"What?!" Moore's eyes widened, and he turned his head abruptly. Sure enough, with the roar of Laban, rabbit heads suddenly emerged from under the calm snowfield.
They first looked at the whistling Rabang in a daze, and then the leader of the Rabang was directly angry.
Carnivorous animals, or social animals, have a very strong sense of territory. Come to my territory and dare to hurt my subordinates, you humans are so bold!
Rise!
The leader of Rabang roared angrily and jumped out directly from under the snowfield, shouting. Some of the remaining Rabangs didn't know what was going on, as they had just woken up. The creatures on the East Island are not as active as those on the Summer Island, and the Labans will sleep under the warm snow layer when they are fine, reducing their fat consumption.
However, now that the boss has spoken, there is no need to think too much.
For a while, hundreds of pairs of red rabbit eyes were aimed at Drake and the others. In the next moment, countless huge white plush balls jumped out from under the snow field and charged towards Drake and the others.
"Hell! What the hell are these things? ”
Drake cursed and quickened his escape. He didn't want to use his seriously injured body to try the minions of this group of rabbits, and looking at the opponent's agile movements, he would be caught up by the other party if he was a little slower.
"After we break off, Captain, run away!" At the critical moment, Moore broke free of Drake's big hand, picked up a musket and aimed it at Rabon, who was chasing after him.
"Moore?!" Drake was about to say something when he was interrupted by a scream from ahead.
"What's going on?" He quickly turned around, only to see a white bear taller than the rabbits behind him, slowly approaching them with a hiking stick.
In addition to the huge size of the other party, the real reason why the subordinates screamed was because this bear was actually walking upright!
Under the stunned eyes of everyone, the hiking bear silently walked to the side of the group, looked at them expressionlessly, and then ......
Nod.
Drake and the others remained motionless, for fear of disturbing this monster that was not easy to mess with at first glance.
Then, the hiking bear nodded again.
Drake and the others continued to stay put.
And then......
Rise!
Seeing that the other party did not perform the mountaineering salute, the hiking bear, who felt that he had been insulted, angrily threw away the stick, slapped them in the face, and slapped them. The howling wind and the squeezed snowflakes told them that if I slap you down, you might die.
"Hold the grass!" Can't watch his subordinates being attacked, Drake cursed secretly, and forced the pain to activate the fruit ability.
The next moment, a huge Tyrannosaurus rex appeared on the snowy field, swooped down and swooped into the paw of a hiking bear.
Boom!
