"A small town in the south,
Not as cold as the north.
There are beautiful girls here,
and a different smile. "
Knock's song echoed on the river, unbridled and bold, not at all like a priest.
This made Leo, who knew Nok's identity, cover his face speechlessly, fearing that Blue would be shocked when Nok's identity was revealed in the future.
Blue also looked dumbfounded at the receding cliffs on both sides, fearing that some monster that had woken up from hibernation would be attracted by the singing and come to attack them.
"Brother Nock, let's stop singing and leave quickly!"
Nok's interest was interrupted, so he had to put away his interest and shut his mouth.
Leo then breathed a sigh of relief and continued to clear the way while holding up his ice armor shield.
That's right, the way Nok came up with was to let Leo take advantage of the characteristics of the ice armor shield, activate the ice armor shield with fighting spirit, shoot ice towards the river, and create a thickened frost road.
In this way, the three of them don't have to worry about the river thawing and becoming fragile.
At a distance of three hundred meters, Leo's fighting spirit could still hold on. Even if Leo couldn't hold on, Nok would still take over, so Nok would be so relieved to have fun.
However, Nok ignored the mood of Blue who was walking in the middle.
The White Ghost's pursuit caused his caravan to be scattered, and the casualties must have been considerable.
He would definitely give an explanation to the families of the dead people, and he would probably suffer a lot of losses by then.
Now I just hope that nothing happens to the few members who are loyal to him, otherwise he will never have a chance to make a comeback.
If the whole army is wiped out, even if he wants to raise another team, no one will dare to join.
The distance of three hundred meters was not very long, but the three of them still spent half an hour to pass.
During this period, Nok also took over the ice shield once.
After the three of them crossed this section of the river, the three of them found a shore and went ashore, lying directly in the snow on the shore.
Perhaps the weather in the south is not as cold as in the north. The snow in the south of the Dokosom Mountains has begun to melt, and there is not as much snow as in the north.
However, not long after the three of them lay down, they heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.
The three people quickly sat up and looked above the river.
I saw a few figures running in the distance. Although there was reflection from the glacier, the gray sky still made it difficult for the three of them to see the faces of the people coming.
"Raman, is that you? We are here!"
Blue stood up in surprise and shouted loudly.
As if hearing Blue's voice, the figure on the river stumbled towards the three of them.
"Brother Blue! Shut up! Something is wrong!"
Nok seemed to see something, pulled Leo to stand up, and shouted at Blue next to him.
"Something's wrong?" Blue stopped shouting in confusion and looked at the people running over with wide eyes.
"No! Run!" This time, Nok didn't even need to speak. Blue yelled first, turned around and ran away.
It turned out that as the figures got closer, they discovered that those figures were indeed Blue's confidants.
However, on their mouths, mouths and noses, there are half-white figures stuck, it is those white ghosts!
It’s just unclear why those white ghosts, instead of killing Blue’s confidants, were able to manipulate these people strangely to pursue Nok and others.
At least that's unheard of for Blue!
So, he turned around and ran away in fear.
I don’t know if he had good intentions or was just to let Nok and the two of them buy time. After escaping, he didn’t forget to let Nok and the two run with him.
However, although Nok and the two wanted to run, Leo was very tired due to excessive consumption of fighting energy. A short rest was not enough for him to recover. With the ice armor shield, he could not run at all.
But even if he dropped the ice shield, he might not be able to run very far.
Therefore, he yelled at Nok: "Leave me alone, you go first! I'll help you stop them!"
After roaring, he pushed Nok away, raised his shield and hit Blue's henchman.
The white ghost has no body and cannot be attacked, but now that it is stuck on a human body, that may not be possible.
Leo's collision directly knocked down the person in front of him and flew him back, hitting other people who were running over.
"boom!"
Several figures fell on the glacier.
"No! Leo! You are crazy! Run!"
Nok was shocked by Leo's reaction. After being pushed away, he quickly chased after him and grabbed Leo, who was about to raise his shield to shoot someone.
"Quickly go! Before they fly out...come..."
Before Nok finished speaking, he saw familiar white shadows flying out of the body of the person who was knocked down.
It's a white ghost, not just one, but a group of them!
No wonder they get stuck in the human body. It turns out that it’s not that they can’t get in, but that they are already full!
But in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen white ghosts emerged from the body. It's weird that they can be pretended!
Blue, who originally heard the noise and turned back while running away, saw Nok and the two surrounded by white ghosts. He was so frightened that he hated his parents for giving him two less legs. One of his legs was about to run out of Mars, and his head was He ran forward without looking back.
"Nok! I'm going to throw you out, please leave quickly!"
Leo looked at the nearly thirty white ghost figures surrounding the iron gate and rushed towards Nok, planning to take a gamble.
Unexpectedly, Nok turned around to avoid Leo's movement, and then pulled out [Holy Light and Punishment].
"Leo, stop talking nonsense! If we have to fight together, we will die together. You promised to protect me and travel together. Without your protection, there is no point in my traveling alone."
Leo was touched and angry at the same time.
He held up his shield, looked at the motionless white ghost with vigilance, and cursed: "You are such a troublesome kid. You can live, but you insist on staying to die. You are asking me to owe you a favor even if I die." ah!"
Nok put a "Holy Aegis" on each of them, and then charged the two guns.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's try to find a way out. Since physical attacks are ineffective against them, let's try magical attacks! Blue's ancestors can escape from the hands of the White Ghost, I don't believe we can't. He must have concealed the White Ghost’s true weakness!”
Nok's words seemed to give Leo a shot in the arm.
Reinvigorating his tired body with fighting spirit.
"Okay, I'll try to freeze them, and you try to use magic to destroy them."
"Freeze ray!"
Leo slapped his shield, and an icy blue ray flew towards the group of white ghosts.
The group of white ghosts suddenly dispersed and actively avoided the freezing ray.
"Hmm! No! There's something wrong with these white ghosts. They seem to be afraid of magic! This is different from what Blue said!"
Leo excitedly discovered the flaw and quickly reminded Nok loudly.
But Nok was not as relaxed as Leo showed.
"Leo, don't be too happy, haven't you noticed that something is not right?"
"What's wrong?" Leo asked subconsciously after being poured cold water on him.
"They are too quiet. You forgot, they found the target before and just killed it directly. How come they only besieged but not attacked this time? It's too weird."
Leo also discovered this after being reminded by Nok.
"Are they waiting for someone? Like, their leader?"
"It does look like it. They seem to be intelligent!"
Nok's words made Leo's scalp tingle.
If it's just unconscious weirdness, it's probably best to stay away.
But if these white ghosts are conscious, it will be a complete disaster for people!
Maybe Leo's attack stimulated the white ghosts, or maybe Nok's words made the white ghosts uneasy.
In short, the white ghosts who had escaped Leo's attack no longer waited and watched, but rushed towards Leo in a swarm.
"Watch out! They're coming!"
Leo shouted a reminder, hit the shield, and released the freezing ray.
However, this time, the white ghost had no intention of avoiding it. The ray passed through the white ghost without causing any harm.
"Holy Light Strikes!"
Nok raised his left hand and pulled the trigger of the Holy Light.
call out!
The holy light shot out a beam, which actually penetrated a gap in the white ghost's body.
But the white ghost didn't seem to be hurt, and rushed towards Leo regardless, and the gap in his body was filled with white energy from other places in a blink of an eye.
"Get out of my way!"
Leo found that the freezing ray was useless, so he roared and swung his shield at the white ghost.
However, the white ghost was like smoke, scattered by the shield, and then condensed again and fell on Leo.
"No!"
Nok saw the white ghost pounce on Leo's body, ignoring the defense of "divine protection", and was about to drill into Leo's body. He pounced on Leo like crazy.
"Holy Impact!"
boom!
The huge shock wave dispersed the white ghost lying on Leo into white mist. Nok quickly pulled Leo aside and shouted: "Shut your mouth, cover your nose and ears, they come from these places It penetrates the human body."
He said this, but Leo just smiled miserably, waved his shield crazily, created wind pressure to prevent the white ghost from getting close, and then shouted.
"After I cut you off, you use Holy Shock to escape! Leave me alone, I can't run away!"
"I don't! Let's go together!"
"Don't say stupid things! Living well is more important than anything else! Don't you want to find the children in the monastery? Don't you want to be a revered priest? If you die here, you won't be able to accomplish anything!"
"I want to! But if I let the people around me get hurt again and again, then I would rather die here!"
Nok let out an unwilling roar, retracted the firearms in his hands, and continued to activate magical spells.
"Holy Impact!"
"Holy Impact!"
Sacred shocks fell next to Leo, scattering the white ghosts who tried to attack Leo.
"Let's go!"
Nok shouted at Leo with red eyes.
Leo, who originally wanted to wait for death, could no longer bear to give up like this. He put his shield behind him and bent down to hit Nok.
"Ahhhhh!"
Leo hugged Nok's waist, lifted him up, and rushed forward.
"Holy Impact!"
"Holy Impact!"
"Holy Impact!"
Nok's magic was activated for free, knocking away all the white ghosts approaching them.
However, this is simply not the way to go.
Although the holy impact can disperse the white ghosts, it cannot injure or kill them.
Instead, their actions seemed to anger the white ghosts.
More than thirty white ghosts regrouped, gathered together, and swarmed towards the two of them.
"Holy Impact!"
Nok raised his hand and launched an attack on the rushing white ghost group. Unexpectedly, the white ghost group split into two, and actually avoided Nok's attack, and pounced from left and right on Leo, who was immersed in running.
"Ah!" Leo let out a painful scream, threw Nok away, and fell into the snow, trying to catch the white ghost that was digging into his ears and nose with both hands.
Nok made an accident and was thrown several meters away, falling to pieces.
But when he heard Leo's screams, he ignored the pain in his body, got up from the ground, launched an attack, and rushed towards Leo.
"Holy Impact!"
boom!
The huge impact fell on Leo, knocking him away, but the white ghost who was already drilling into his body was not affected.
Nok was so anxious that he didn't have time to think about it. He swooped down on Leo, just in time to suppress a re-condensed White Ghost beneath him.
Zhila!
There was a strange noise, and the white ghost pressed by Nok turned into a white smoke and disappeared into the air.
This scene made Nok, who originally wanted to catch the white ghost on Leo's body, slightly stunned.
The hot chest reminded him of something, and he quickly reached out and took out the thing from his arms.
The white shadows that were flying in the air and trying to continue attacking Leo stopped one after another.
Although the white ghost had no eyes, Nok could feel the gaze in their empty sockets falling on his hands.
To be precise, it was the treasure that fell into Nok's hands.
Nok didn't have time to think too much and covered the struggling Leo's face with the worn silk satin in his hand.
Zhila!
The white ghost who was drilling into Leo's nostrils suddenly burst into white smoke and disappeared.
"efficient!"
Nok's eyes lit up, and he quickly swung the silk and satin to eliminate the two white ghosts in Leo's ears. Then he protected Leo, holding the silk in his hand, and confronted the white ghosts who had retreated.
Obviously, Nok's ability to destroy the white ghost made the white ghost very afraid.
"Leo, wake up, we are saved!"
Holding a weapon to defeat the enemy, Nok was so excited that he confidently slapped Leo on the face.
Leo opened his eyes weakly, with a tired smile on his face: "That's great, I want to take a nap."
"Don't! Don't sleep!"
"Healing!"
"Healing Aura!"
Nok quickly cast two healing spells on Leo. If there wasn't a white ghost watching him, he might have used "Holy Light Salvation" directly.
The white ghosts "looked" at the silk in Nok's hand and instinctively wandered in the air.
They are not intelligent, they just instinctively feel that the aura of that thing makes them afraid.
This is also the reason why they did not attack Nok and the two at first.
It was not until Leo launched an attack and could not harm the white ghosts that the white ghosts determined that Leo was not a threat and then attacked Leo.
But the dangerous aura on Nok's body made them reluctant to contact him.
Unexpectedly, Nok actually took out the thing that restrained them and eliminated four white ghosts.
The remaining white ghosts did not dare to move and kept floating and wandering in the air.
Leo's weak soul is attracting the white ghosts, but the silk in Nok's hand scares the white ghosts.
Under the influence of each other, it became a stalemate and confrontation.
Nok hugged Leo's upper body into his arms, preventing his head from resting on the cold snow.
Leo's body recovered from his injuries after Nok's treatment, but he was attacked by a white ghost and the mental damage caused him to fall into a coma.
Even if Nok wanted to escape with Leo, he couldn't do it at this time.
He could only wait for dawn.
If half of what Blue said was true, then these white ghosts would disappear automatically after dawn.
Just like that, Nok squatted in the snow, holding the unconscious Leo, and stood in a stalemate with the white ghosts.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but his legs had lost all feeling.
But Nok discovered that the white ghosts seemed to be starting to become commotion.
Could it be...
Is it going to be dawn?
Nok's spirit was shaken, and he wanted to look up at the sky. Unexpectedly, a group of white ghosts suddenly rushed towards Nok and the two of them, as if they wanted to give it a try.
"Holy Impact!"
Facing a large group of white ghosts rushing towards him, Nok instinctively released his magic.
But the results this time were different.
The white ghost hit by the magic was not dispersed into white mist by the impact.
Instead, white smoke burst out and disappeared between heaven and earth.
Nok didn't expect that his attack would directly kill half of the white ghosts. He was so excited that he wanted to turn around and attack the remaining white ghosts.
Unexpectedly, an accident happened.
Click, Nok felt that his body suddenly lost balance, fell to the ground, and the silk in his hand fell to the snow.
Seeing this scene, the white ghost rushed towards Nok like crazy.
"It's over!" The severe pain in his feet made it clear to Nok that the two of them were going to play this time.
His legs were frozen because he had been squatting, and suddenly they were twisted with force, so he fell.
And the reason why he was able to use magic to destroy the white ghosts was entirely because he was holding the treasure silk satin and with the blessing of the silk satin, he was able to destroy the white ghosts.
Now he was injured and fell to the ground. The silk satin fell to the ground and was already pressed by Leo's body. If he wanted to take it out to fight the enemy, he would not be able to do it in a short time.
Therefore, he could only sit back and wait for death to come.
Perhaps it was the end of the world, but just when the white ghosts had pounced in front of Nok's eyes, Nok was shocked to find that they had disappeared!
There was no sign, as if he jumped from one world to another, disappearing in front of Nok's eyes.
When Nok saw this scene, he felt violent joy in his heart.
This is the joy of surviving the disaster.
Its daybreak! I don’t know when it will be bright!
However, now is not the time to be happy.
Looking at his broken leg, Nok quickly activated the healing technique to stop the bleeding and heal his injuries first.
The reason why "Holy Light Salvation" was not activated to regenerate the severed limbs was because Leo was unconscious and might have been frostbitten.
If Nok becomes weak due to activating "Holy Light Salvation", the two of them will really be doomed.
At least, they had to wait until Leo woke up before the two of them had a chance to survive.
Nok pushed Leo's body with difficulty, trying to turn him over and take off the shield on his body.
At least, they need to find a cold-proof cushion for the two of them, otherwise they will be paralyzed by the cold in this weather.
But Nok, who had broken his leg, was still extremely weak even after treatment, let alone lifting Leo, who was almost three hundred meters away with his shield.
Nok didn't know how long he had worked hard. Instead of moving Leo, he felt that Leo seemed a little stiff.
This made Nok anxious.
Could it be that after working hard for a long time, the two of them still died here?
Just when Nok was anxious, he suddenly heard a "creak" sound.
It was the sound of someone walking on the snow.
Is someone here? The monsters are still looking for food.
Nok didn't dare to take a breath and stared into the distance.
"Blue?"
Not only did Nok breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
"Hey, little brother Nok, you're still alive! You're really lucky!"
Blue greeted Nok with a relaxed expression, seeming to be happy for Nok.
Nok looked at Blue with a dark face and asked, "How long have you been watching?"
Blue didn't expect Nok to be so straightforward. After a moment of surprise, he laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to guess it. How did you know that I had been watching?"
Nok said with a cold face: "With the speed you ran away at that time, if you didn't stay nearby, you would at least run a long distance now. Even if you think you want to come back at dawn, you can't do it in such a short time. Come back here within a few seconds.”
"The only answer is that you didn't leave at all and hid nearby. It's not dawn yet, but you are not afraid of the white ghosts who dare to hide nearby and peek at us. Then there is only one possibility. You are simply afraid that the white ghosts will attack you. In fact, the white ghost will not attack you at all!"
Nok's words surprised Blue.
He stared at Nok on the ground with an ugly face and asked: "How do you know that I won't be attacked by white ghosts? Who are you and what is your purpose in approaching me!"
Nok laughed angrily: "You ask me what my purpose is? What purpose can I have? Do you think we are just pretending to be lost?"
"Isn't it?" Blue didn't believe Nok at all and shouted loudly: "I saw with my own eyes the way you fought with the White Ghost. The way you fought was not as simple as you showed."
"Who are you? Are you here to catch me?"
Nok ignored Blue's question and asked: "When we are in danger, can we not fight desperately and continue to hide our strength and wait for death? As for hiding our strength in front of you, we only need you to lead the way out of the snowfield, and we are not trying to kill you. When slaves make friends, why should we reveal our strength?”
"Besides, you didn't even tell the truth to your confidants. What qualifications do you have to accuse us of hiding our strength and identity. The one who really hides our strength and identity is you! Your family is definitely inseparable from the White Ghost Relationship, even, you are the one who attracted the white ghost, you big liar!"
Nok's accusation made Blue very excited.
"No! I'm not a liar! Most of what I said is the truth! How did I lie to you!"
"Hmph! You didn't deceive the white ghost by relying on the corpse of your companion! It's because the white ghost didn't attack you at all, but bypassed you and attacked your companion! In fact, the white ghost may have been killed by you. Companion’s!”
"Why do you slander me like this!"
"Just because I have witnessed with my own eyes that the white ghosts are smart! They know hesitation, tactics, and how to distinguish who is a threat and who is not! Therefore, your statement cannot deceive the white ghosts at all. You must be lying!"
Nok's words shocked Blue.
He suddenly laughed wildly and said: "Hahahaha, that's right. It's true that I won't be attacked by white ghosts, but do you think I'll feel better?"
"I witnessed my usual friend being attacked by a monster, and I stood helpless at the scene. What's even more ironic is that the monster didn't attack you at all, but your friend thought that the monster was summoned by you. You betrayed the team and wanted to kill you. You know that feeling!"
"This kind of specialness that is inherited in the bloodline will attract the terrifying bloodline of white ghosts appearing every ten years. Do you think I want it?"
"Yes, I won't be attacked by white ghosts. That's because I am the coordinates of white ghosts in this world! If they kill me, they will lose the coordinates of this world!"
"You think I want to do this? That was all caused by those crazy people in our ancestors!"
"It was a good day, but I had to track down some white ghost, and then the white ghost swallowed half of my soul and became the puppet of the white ghost. Then the offspring I gave birth to were contaminated with the breath of the white ghost! They became the coordinates of the white ghost. !”
"If it's just like this, we can go to the wild or find a village and attack it in less than ten years. It won't affect the life of our clan anyway!"
"But that stupid woman actually wanted to use her own special skills to capture a white ghost to study how to remove the bloodline in her body."
"For this reason, she gave up her status as a noble! Taking advantage of this once-in-ten-year opportunity, she actually trapped a white ghost and wanted to study it. Unexpectedly, she angered the white ghost and put a curse on our whole family!"
"From now on, our family will always have only one child! No matter male or female, there will always be only one heir!"
"In this way, for the sake of the continuation of our family, we won't even dare to commit suicide!"
"Without our huge family, we lost the wealth accumulated by our ancestors and became lowly commoners! I even need to work hard every day to earn enough food to barely fill my stomach!"
"Finally, I found an opportunity to make a fortune! I created a caravan, and then a white ghost attack once every ten years allowed me to monopolize the caravan's finances! But I didn't expect that I would be so unlucky this time! I actually met you, and the white ghost appeared. The time has been advanced! The caravan's goods were not sold, and I lost a lot of money in vain!"
"Fortunately, God has not treated me badly and allowed me to discover your secret, so hand over your method of killing the white ghost!"
"As long as you hand it over, I can become the hero who destroys the white ghosts in the future! Maybe even the cursed bloodline on me can be lifted and my family can return to glory!"
Seeing the "unrecognizable" Blue, Nok's eyes were full of coldness.
"It turns out that you have always been such a hypocritical person. I thought you were just impulsive. In that case, I would be relieved."
Nok's words made Blue ask in confusion: "What are you worried about?"
Nok replied: "Of course I can kill you without any worries."
"Kill me?" Blue seemed to have heard some big joke: "Hahaha, what are you going to kill me for? I have been observing for so long, and it was only when I found that one of you was unconscious and the other was seriously injured and weak that you dared to stand up. You still want to kill me?" Me? With your frostbitten body, or with your mouth that’s tougher than a platypus!”
"With it!"
A cold light flashed in Nok's eyes, and a black gun appeared in his hand. It was [Punishment].
call out!
The black light penetrated Blue's heart and began to devour his body.
Nok looked at the unwilling and stubborn Blue and said: "If you had attacked me as soon as you came over and didn't talk so much nonsense, you would be the winner. But you talked too much nonsense, and you thought you would win. So you have to show off. But you don’t know that I am also delaying time to gather mana!"
With a splash, Blue's body fell on the snow, swallowed up by the energy with a destructive aura.
Nok breathed a sigh of relief and put one hand on the ice shield on Leo's back.
"Icicle, get up!"
With a crash, an icicle emerged from the ice armor shield and pushed Leo's body into the air.
Nok picked up the satin that fell on the ground and put it in his arms.
"Do you think I don't know that you are watching us in the dark? Ever since I have the [Fragment of the Fate Tapestry], your malice has been like the sun in the darkness. It's hard for me not to know! It's a shame it took me so long It took time to act and I was able to hang you out, and I almost froze to death!"
"You should have left and escaped, so why did you turn around greedily! If you come back to rescue us, maybe I can give you dozens of gold coins in return. You insist on seeking death."
"Hmph! Greed is indeed the nature of human beings to pursue inferiority!"
