217. The Mermaid

In the frost mist, wrapped in a little pale and death.

Razor-like claws, cutting deep marks on the ice. The flesh and skin like iron juice are tumbling hot. The face is like a red-baked soldering iron, revealing a touch of heat that makes people unable to look at it directly.

The facial features like orange peel are as if all the water has been drained, and there is no trace of life.

In the red pupils of the beast, there was a chilling madness and tyranny.

The "clucking" sound like a plague chicken shook the coldness in the surrounding air.

"Red-faced hyenas!!"

There are a lot of red-faced hyenas, these red-faced hyenas with a sausage-like size, which definitely make Rick remember deeply, and this time he suddenly gasped hard when he saw it.

Among the red-faced hyenas, which are more than white, are interspersed with more than a dozen giant red-faced hyenas that are tall and abnormally tall and steaming all over their bodies.

Rick immediately lowered his body, like a shrunken hedgehog, and covered his body as much as he could.

Not to mention seeing these combat powers, even when he smelled this smell of meat, Rick had to avoid it from afar.

With his current strength, he could only be tough on a giant red-faced hyena at most, but there were at least a dozen of them here, and even Rick, who had the thick earth coat of arms that day, had to avoid it, let alone restore him to ordinary first-order strength.

These are not the things that surprise Rick, but the things that follow these East Evil are the things that make people feel frightened.

A group of amphibians with fish scales and a film of water on their heads were following the hyenas.

They smelled fishy, and their cheeks were open with dark red cheeks, and a large amount of viscous fluid could be seen secreting from them. Make your cheeks slippery. That water film allows these merfolk to survive on land. Pointed fish face on top. A dark blue piece of cold steel was cast into something like an antenna, embedded in the top of their heads.

There are a large number of ciphertexts carved on it, and what is even more surprising is that in addition to these small number of fishmen, there are more humans dressed as ordinary people, who are also mixed in this huge team.

Their facial muscles are stiff and their movements are rigid, like puppets. They followed behind the merfolk.

The face was covered with a thin layer of ice-like diaphragm, and the entire face was occupied by those steel rods like cold steel, and if you counted it carefully, there were also four cold steel pillars on the smallest human cheeks.

These cold steel pillars, about the length of a small arm, were connected to the merfolk by a faint pale blue filament.

Whenever the frost and fog around them faded a little, the merfolk immediately dragged a human to them like a feral cat with its tail stepped on. The cold steel pillar on his body was violently activated, and a large frost mist immediately spread.

The rigidity and paleness of the human body is even thicker. After a few repetitions, the human is finished.

But this consumption is very slow, and it takes about half an hour to walk for about one human.

Looking at the ordinary clothes of these people, Rick immediately connected them to the disappearance of Copperplate City. No wonder he couldn't find any clues when he investigated the case, it turned out that he was hidden here in the Great Snow Mountain.

After following for more than an hour, Rick quietly retreated.

In a hidden place, Rick muttered for a moment before setting off for John's house

"What? You want us to get out of here right now?! ”

John stared at two big bull's-eyed beads, and his laryngeal muscles squeezed his voice, making his voice sound full of disbelief!

John's parents also looked at Rick with puzzled expressions, really not understanding how the man who led the Binghe Gang to the treasure hunt could come back alone? And as soon as the other party returned, he demanded that John's family move out of here at once and settle in the more distant silver city of Zat.

The other party was not empty words, and directly took out two hundred silver thalers to give them the settling-in fee, which can be regarded as repaying them for saving their lives.

The bill of exchange of two hundred silver thalers was very beautiful, and it was hot in the palm of the husband and wife like a soldering iron in his hand.

They have struggled all their lives, and they have never seen such a large denomination of silver thaler bills, which is simply money that they can't earn in a lifetime!!

But suddenly letting them leave their hometown where they have lived all their lives is really difficult for some strong people.

"I don't understand what you mean, why do we have to move out of here, is it really like you said, there is going to be a disaster here?!" John's father looked solemn, and the other party took out two hundred silver thalers, which did not seem to be a joke.

John's mother also looked at Rick with a cautious expression, and her voice was as heavy as a lead block: "What the hell is going on?" Can you make that clear? ”

Rick breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to reveal his true identity, but since the family didn't believe in him, there was nothing he could do.

The mind moved slightly, the ground on which he stood trembled slightly, and large patches of earthy yellow light wandered from the veins condensed in the palm. The veins that exploded from time to time turned into falling light dust and droplets.

Show strength, more than any explanations and nonsense.

John's mouth was wide open, and he could see his tongue sliding in excitement. The muscles around the eye sockets are beating endlessly as if they have been injected with an excessive amount of chicken blood.

Even John's mother opened her mouth in disbelief. On the contrary, John's father, who has always been unkind to Rick, is more calm.

"You're a wizard?!"

Looking at the large patches of earthy yellow light and dust condensed from Rick's palm, John's father tried to make himself look calmer, but the voice of some of the sliding shovels betrayed him.

Rick nodded silently, and the large crumbs-like dust foam continued to peel off as he moved, looking very magical.

After that, it's simple, a powerful wizard will not deceive a tenant, and when the family gets along with Rick, they also feel the wizard's gratitude to their people, since they understand that the other party will not harm themselves, then the disaster in the other party's mouth is true.

"Shall we not inform the city lord?"

Rick didn't explain, just shook his hand with his back to the others, nodded and left.

Following the huge team down the snowy mountain, looking in the direction the other party had left, Rick made a startling inference.

"Monte Copperplate City!!"

That's right, the other party's destination is actually Monte Copper Plate City.

There were too many of these red-faced hyenas and giant red-faced hyenas for even Rick, a powerful first-order wizard, to shake them head-on.

The strange fish-man sacrifices, the powerful red-faced creatures, and the clues they found on the last outing with Lilith all joined together, and soon pointed the finger at the only large city in the vicinity, Monte Copperplate. (To be continued......)
