The sky in the north was overcast, the clouds were faintly stirring, and the snow flakes were increasing in the wind, indicating that a blizzard was coming.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Allen and his entourage arrived at the Rinfeng Gorge. It was hard to imagine what their purpose was in the wild at the end of winter, but nothing was good for humans. Alan finds traces and traces them to the outside of an ice cave. These holes eroded by the wind and snow are covered in thick frost and snow in winter, and they are full of traps. In some places that seem to be flat, there is a gap at the foot that leads to nowhere, but it is only obscured by frost, snow and thin ice.

However, due to the planetary environment of the underworld, the temperature of a glacier like this will be warmer than that of the ground if it is 100 meters underground. Therefore, when winter comes, the external sword demons often hide under the crypt and survive the winter with the heating from the center of the earth.

The nest of the demon in the mountain will only go down, not up.

Alan made a careful gesture to get into the ice cave first. The three people in the back entered one after another, and soon after they entered. The wind in the Rinkeze Gorge intensified, and large clouds of snow and fist-sized hail began to sweep through the place. The snow is just like this, and these hailstones are like *, hitting the entire Cold Crown Glacier with a roaring sound.

After the blizzard, I don't know how many mountains will be smashed. Hail is responsible for the many ice caves on this glacier, and after they break through the mountain, the cold wind continues to erode it, and the mountain looks like this over time.

Eren and the others crawled along a passage through the crypt that led diagonally downward, and they did not dare to turn on the light, for fear that the light would attract the attention of the sword demon under the refraction of the ice and snow. Only the glow stick was lit, and it was inserted in the breast pocket to reveal a corner, illuminating the square inch.

This passage is covered in snow and ice, and people are in it, and the cold is terrible. And the ground is smooth, and if you are not careful, you will slip. In particular, the angle of the passage is slanted downward, so that several people can get up more carefully.

Suddenly, a strange roar sounded behind him, and Bloy thought that the sword demon had appeared. One of the people in the passage turned his head sharply, and the soles of his feet slipped at the moment, and the whole person slammed forward uncontrollably. Suddenly, people bumped into people, and several people quickly slid down. Fortunately, several people were very good and did not scream in fright. Especially Lucy, her face was pale, but she didn't shout, which is very rare.

Alan was at the front, desperately trying to stop the slide. The slope can be too steep, and there is nothing to climb. Now that the passage is in sight, Alan thinks he is going to hit the mountain wall. However, looking through the fluorescent light in front of him, there was a void in front of him. He snorted, and Cheonjun slammed into the ground. The frost-covered ground was inserted like cheese, and Alan had just clenched the handle of the knife with both hands, and the whole person had been thrown out of the void by inertia.

"Catch!" Alan drank softly, and a figure flew overhead. He reached out with his free hand and grabbed Bloy's arm.

Bloy grabbed Willik's foot with a big hand. Eventually, Willik grabbed Lucy's hands on the ground with his head and feet, and the four of them hung on the hillwall at the end of the passage.

Willik's body hangs upside down, and the glow stick on his chest falls. I saw a ball of fluorescent light falling, first hitting a raised mountain rock, and the frost and snow could still be seen. Rolling down further, the frost and snow gradually decreased, revealing the bare rock of the mountain. Finally, he plopped and sank into a pool. By the glow of the fluorescent light, it seems that the pond is very deep, and it should be some underground river vein. Due to the extremely high temperature at the core of the earth, these rivers do not freeze in winter.

"Dump me out there." Lucy looked over at the raised rock.

Alan nodded, and he adjusted his angle and led everyone to swing in the direction of the rocks. After a few back and forth, Willik let go, and Lucy fell lightly diagonally, right on the stone. It's just that the rocks are slippery, and she steps on some slips. Fortunately, I lowered my center of gravity in time, and the whole person was about to lie on it, so that he didn't fall.

When Lucy fell, Willik used his fiery fist to eject a blue flame, dissolving the nearby snow and ice, and then inserting his fingers into the cracks of the rocks, so that Bloy would not need to carry him again. In this way, Bloy was able to free up his hand to untie the big axe behind the loss. Use an axe to clip into the mountain wall to immobilize your body. Alan immediately withdrew his arm and pulled a rappelling rope from his rucksack. Tie it firmly to the hilt of Chijun's sword, then pull the rope and swing it down to the stone where Lucy was.

He beckoned, and Lucy jumped on top of him. The two hugged tightly, Alan put the rope with one hand, and the two fell to the ground safely. After Willik and Bloy also reached the ground with a rappelling cable, Alan shook the rope hard, and Qianjun immediately broke out of the rock, raising a puff of frosty sand and stones, and fell into the pool not far away. Qianjun hummed and fell downward with the sound of wind and thunder.

Alan stretched out his hand to fish, and then swiped to the side, unloading the huge force carried by Qianjun's fall, and raised a gust of sword wind out of thin air, buzzing and reverberating in the belly of this mountain.

There was the sound of footsteps in the depths of the mountain.

Alan frowned and made a hidden gesture. He and Lucy hid behind a few stalagmites, while Bloy and Willik dispersed, each finding a few reclining rocks to use as cover. As soon as it was hidden, the flames appeared, and two sword demons appeared twenty meters away with torches. Behind them was a deep passage that seemed to lead somewhere else.

The sword demon shone it with a torch, and when he saw that nothing was wrong, he turned and returned.

After they left, the four of them came out of their hiding place. Alan said, "You are waiting for me here. ”

He had to go to reconnoiter alone, and it was not necessarily a good thing to have a lot of people in such a place, and a few people had no objections. Alan untied his backpack, took off his camouflage uniform, and left with only Chikyun. He drilled into the passage where the sword demon had left before, which was only six or seven meters away, and there was a faint fire at the exit. Alan cautiously leaned forward, and when he came out of the passage, there was a slope, and the fire flickered below the slope, and several demons lit a bonfire on the ground.

There is a passage behind the demon, but it is unknown where it leads. Alan asked himself if he had the ability to kill these demons at the same time without making a sound, so he dismissed his plan to kill the ramp. His eyes wandered, and he saw that there were several dark gaps in the mountain wall above, which seemed to lead to the depths.

Alan silently touched a gap, and the man scurried inside. At first, the vision was dim, but gradually it became brighter, as if the light of a fire was shining in from outside, and it was obvious that the mountain walls here were very thin. And began to hear the sound, Alan determined the direction according to the sound, and crawled in the direction of the sound. After crawling for a few minutes, he stopped, and the words of the sword demon sounded outside.

He used Qianjun to cut a small hole in the mountain wall, and when he looked out, the fire rose from below. Below was an open space, where some sword demons sat around the fire. There are not many of them, and the strange thing is that these sword demons are all not low in source power. The source power light on their bodies is stronger than that of ordinary tribes' warriors, and the weakest of them is afraid that they also have a tenth-level level.

Among the sword demons, the demon sitting on a stone pier is the tallest. Judging from the brightness of the source power light on his body, this sword demon also has a level of seventeen or eighteen. This level is good enough for a small tribe to be a chieftain.

Looking at this situation, the sword demon here does not look like a tribe. After all, their numbers are too small, less than thirty people, not even a small tribe. And there is no clear division of labor, all males, not even horned wolves. The sword demon seemed to be talking, and since the two sides were more than ten meters apart, they didn't speak loudly. Although Eren knew the language of the sword demons, it was difficult to hear what they were saying.

Suddenly, a thin sword demon stood up and shouted at the sword demon who looked like a leader: "Baziba, that's the sacrificial team of the ten divisions, we can't afford to mess with them." ”

"Coward." The sword demon leader's chest rose and fell, and he roared: "You don't look at the Alex Plains, where the ten armies against humans are losing and retreating. They are no longer the ten parts they used to be, not to mention that the ten departments and their attention are all on the plains, how can they notice the sacrificial team on the barren land. ”

"But what if we rob the sacrificial team and the Ten Ministries issue a beheading order to us?" Another sword demon asked in a deep voice.

The leader laughed loudly: "If we rob the sacrificial team, we can form a tribe ourselves." When the time comes, take refuge back here, the Cold Crown Glacier has a complex topography and is also near the human base. Unless the Ten Divisions want to pull the front here, it will be very difficult to move us. Hide for a while, and when they don't have time to pay attention, then we will lay down that human base and swallow a few more small tribes, and then the ten will still know that we did it? ”

"At that time, you will be the general's priests, and I will be the chief, who would have thought that it was us who robbed their sacrificial team."

The loud laughter of the leader sounded below, and Eren stepped back, and his heart turned out to be a bandit composed of sword demons below. And it seems to be the attention that is ready to play ten. However, the sacrificial procession in the mouth of the Baziba made Alan very concerned, if he guessed correctly, it should be ten sacrificial processions sent to the holy miracle. Let's not talk about whether this group of daring sword demon robbers can grab the sacrificial team, but if Alan follows them, he can find the sacrificial team, and he may also find the holy trace of the sword demon.

In Windsor Bello's speculation, the Miracle may have been the place of origin of the Knife Demon. In the case of Alan, it is more likely that there is a record of demonic praise there. Both privately and publicly, Alan felt the need to take a risk.

He retreated to the hiding place where everyone had been, and when Alan returned, Lucy and the others came out of hiding. Alan called them aside and said, "Now that the wind and snow are interfering with the signal, we can't contact the base. I can only go back and report the intelligence here, but someone has to watch here. So, the three of you go back first, and I'll stay here. ”

Going to the holy site, he didn't know what kind of danger he would encounter, and Alan didn't want to pull the three of them in, so he thought of an excuse to break them up. Willik and Bloy didn't think much of it, but Lucy had an extra heart. She pulled Alan to another corner and whispered, "Sue me, what are you going to do?" Your expression is not as simple as staying where you are. ”

Alan smiled bitterly, raised his hand and said, "Okay, in fact, the guy in there is a gang of robbers, and he is planning to make a deal." I want to go with them, because the target of their robbery is the people of the Ten Divisions. ”

"Then why don't you take us with you?" R1058
