Chapter 244: The Ice Trail and the Ice Wolves
Following.
After packing up the camp early in the morning, the Jungle Hunters set off for the north again, I have to say that they are an excellent adventure group, not only well-trained, but also disciplined, Ruan Chi has been operating with them for two days, feeling like military training.
Although Ruan Chi beat up the two brothers Qihar and Luo Wei last time, since he joined the Jungle Hunters, the people in the adventure group have not been so repulsive to him, and even took the initiative to come over to show goodwill.
Later, Ruan Chi learned that jungle hunters believe in the law of the jungle, where the weak are looked down upon and the strong are respected, so after Ruan Chi showed his strong strength, many people ran over to stammer.
Among them, Morley, who is now in a carriage with Ruan Chi, is one of them, this guy is about the same age as Ruan Chi, with big eyes and white skin, and red hair that is relatively rare among the human race, and his facial features can barely be regarded as a handsome guy, but he usually has a noisy mouth and likes to brag, but in general there is nothing particularly bad, so he is also the first friend Ruan Chi met after coming to the jungle hunter.
"By the way, Ruan Chi, how much do you think we can get paid after completing the task this time?" Morley, who was in charge of driving, chattered all the way, although Ruan Chi rarely paid attention to him, but this guy was a chatterbox, even if no one cared about him, he could still talk to himself.
At this time, Ruan Chi was lying on the top of the carriage, the orc territory was close to the north, so the weather was cold, although Ruan Chi had a system to help correct the temperature, but the coldness still made him feel uncomfortable, so as soon as he set off today, he climbed to the roof of the car and lay down in the sun.
Morley's voice was heard. Ruan Chi said lazily: "You are the old man of the adventure group. Isn't that what I should ask you? β
This guy just has nothing to do. I know something, but I have to ask someone.
Sure enough, Morley quickly smiled and said, "I just want to test you, the distribution of remuneration and work in the regiment When you join us, Mr. Satsuma should send you the relevant manual, you should always know this problem, right?" β
"Sorry, there were too many words in that thing, I didn't read it."
Joke. Brother joined the jungle hunter not for money, look at what that thing is for, Ruan Chi added in his heart.
"You didn't see it?" Hearing Ruan Chi's words, Mo Li's reaction was surprisingly loud, and he shouted: "Ruan Chi, you are doing death, we jungle hunters have a lot of rules, if you accidentally commit one of them, it will be a big problem." β
"If something really goes wrong, let's talk about it, and besides. Shut your mouth for me, and don't make Lao Tzu sleep. Ruan Chi said without worry.
ββ¦β¦β
The long convoy made its way along the canyon. After letting Morley's words be silenced, Ruan Chi quickly began to snore, the sun at noon was warm, and with the shaking amplitude of the carriage, it was very suitable for sleeping.
System: You found the Crushed Ice Trail.
I don't know how long it took, but when Ruan Chi opened his eyes, he found that there was such an information prompt hanging in front of him, and then looked at the scenery on both sides of the carriage, and found that this was no longer the Roaring Canyon.
Just as he was about to ask Morley, who was driving, where this place was, he suddenly felt a chill on the bridge of his nose, and reached out to touch it, only to find that it was a crystal snowflake.
Snow?
Ruan Chi raised his head in a daze, and found that the sun in the sky was gone, replaced by a thick layer of dark clouds, and snowflakes falling down one after another.
Ruan Chi had been living in the non-human research center in Dijing before, although Dijing also had snowy weather, but because he lived indoors for a long time, Ruan Chi didn't really see much snow.
Stretching out his hand to pick up the falling snowflakes, Ruan Chi began to collect these falling snowflakes on the roof of the car, and after a while, he held a small snowball in his hand and threw it at the back of the neck of Morley, who was driving.
"Wow, it's so freezing, it's freezing me."
Molly, who was attacked by the sneak attack, immediately screamed, turned around and shouted from Ruan Chi on the roof of the car: "Bastard, what are you doing." β
"Haha." Ruan Chi laughed heartily, completely ignoring Mo Li's angry eyes.
Because of the relationship between the car, Mo Li could only stare dryly, and there was no way to take Ruan Chi, so he had to fight back: "It's so naΓ―ve, it seems that Ruan Chi's state of mind is still very similar to your age, just a little kid." β
"What's wrong with the little kid? My brother is not very old. Ruan Chi climbed out of the roof of the car, sat down next to Morley again, and reached for the snowflakes again.
"At the beginning, when I saw you defeat Qihar, I thought you were a very boring guy, but I didn't expect you to be a big child." Morley said with a look of disappointment.
"Why do you think I'm a boring guy?" Ruan Chi asked while catching the snowflakes.
"Because usually the guys who are good at martial arts, they are very serious about their work, like the guy from Qihar, usually we talk to him, he always says that he wants to train, not like people of our age at all." Morley pouted.
"That guy is really boring." Ringing out of Qihar's mouth in the ring at the time, Ruan Chi came to the same conclusion.
"So when we saw you defeat him, we cheered for you from the bottom of our hearts." Morley slapped his ass at the right time.
"Come on, you were obviously coaxing at the time, and I wanted Qihar to beat me away."
"We didn't know you were joining our adventure party at the time, and if I had known at the time, I would have cheered you on."
"Don't say something useless." Ruan Chi rolled his eyes and patted off the snowflakes on his hands.
As the road deepened, some white frost began to appear where the wheels of the carriage rolled, and the snow gradually increased from the sky, and occasionally a cold northern bout blew up.
"Ahh
Mo Li really couldn't stand it, and hurriedly took out a thick sweater from the burden next to him and put it on, seeing that Ruan Chi was still dressed in cloth, thinking that he had no clothes, so he took the initiative to hand over a coat, "Put it on, the weather in the orc realm is very bad, and it may be even more cold if you continue to walk forward." β
"No, I don't feel freezing." Ruan Chi waved his hand and said.
The system can automatically correct the temperature of Ruan Chi's body surface, although it will be a little cold, but it will not feel cold, and Ruan Chi naturally does not need to wear warm clothes.
Seeing that Ruan Chi refused his clothes, Mo Li was not reluctant, he simply put on the coat as well, and finally wrapped himself into a zongzi and continued to drive.
As the weather got colder, more and more people in the convoy wore warm clothes, and of course a few people like Ruan Chi still wore thin cloth clothes or leather armor.
Of course, these people don't have a system to help correct the temperature like Ruan Chi, and the reason why they can do this is entirely because of their own strength.
Especially the profession is warriors, swordsmen and the like, their physique is relatively strong, and some cold weather will not make them shrink back.
However, among these people, the person who surprised Ruan Chi the most was Satsuma, this old man was obviously a magician, but he was born with a warrior-like physique, some of the weaker people wore thick clothes, but he was a magician but wore a thin robe from beginning to end, and his expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't feel the cold.
Now Ruan Chi and the road they took is called the Crushed Ice Trail, and the terrain is just like its name, stretching all the way into the distance, zigzag like a sheep's intestine path.
On both sides of the road is an endless grassland, because of the snow, the visibility is relatively low, and under the wheels of the convoy, there are gradually more fine pieces of ice, so when the convoy passes, there will always be a "clattering" sound.
"This is already in the middle of the ice trail, and there is a high probability that there will be predatory ice wolves ahead, so everyone should be ready for battle at all times."
Suddenly there was an alert from the front of the convoy, and Morley immediately drew his weapon from the back of the carriage, a machete.
Ruan Chi also pretended to find a crossbow from the carriage, and then sat down again.
Seeing Ruan Chi holding a crossbow, Mo Li couldn't help but be a little curious, and pointed to the magic sword Phyllisto wrapped densely in canvas around Ruan Chi's waist and asked, "Don't you have your own weapon?" How do you use a crossbow? β
"Stupid, the crossbow can be attacked from a distance, so you don't have to fight hand-to-hand." Ruan Chi said in a natural tone.
Morley nodded as if he didn't understand, but immediately after reacting, he exclaimed, "You're stupid." β
β¦β¦
After another half an hour, the warning just now really happened, the convoy had not seen the wolves, and the wolf screams had been heard in the distance.
Ruan Chi discovered these beasts earlier than ordinary people, because they all had blood-red names on their heads, and it was really difficult not to find them in the plains with a wide field of vision.
There was no need for Ruan Chi to specifically prompt him, someone in the convoy soon discovered the location of the wolves, and the regiment commander Manhattan immediately said coldly: "The first team is ready, and when the wolves approach, they will be cleared immediately." β
The jungle hunters brought out a total of 130 people this time, except for 10 logistics personnel, the rest including the regiment commander Manhattan and the deputy regiment commander Satsuma are all combatants.
Among them, the team responsible for the battle is divided into 6 teams in 20 units, the team name of the regiment commander and deputy commander is the special attack team, and the rest of the teams are called the first squad, the second squad, the third squad, the fourth squad and the fifth squad.
Ruan Chi's squad is the fifth squad, and it is also the weakest team among the combatants arranged for this mission, and most of the team members are newcomers like Ruan Chi and Mo Li, who are not very old but have a certain strength, so their team is nicknamed the "rookie team".
Ruan Chi felt that it didn't matter what kind of team he was in, anyway, he joined the jungle hunter this time, the purpose was just to take a ride, and as soon as the convoy approached the vicinity of the wolf clan's holy land, Ruan Chi would "get off" and leave.
The first squad shouted by Manhattan was the elite of the combatants involved in this mission, and as soon as they received the order, they immediately entered the preparation for battle.
However, what was surprising was that the battle with the ice wolves did not start this time, because the wolves followed the convoy for a while and then quickly left. (To be continued......)
