When the boiling barrages passed by in the live broadcast room, the ice field in the picture remained silent.
The sudden voice startled the Terashima siblings. One drew his sword and the other took out a ball. They didn't know what they were thinking about. A mantis stalks a cicada and an oriole catches a snipe and a clam fights for the fisherman's profit. . On the contrary, the leader's performance was quite leisurely. He checked the ivory pig's condition step by step, and after confirming that the enemies were unconscious, he turned back slowly.
At some point, a group of people appeared on the white ice field.
The adventurers' white cloaks made their bodies blend easily with the ice and snow. The siblings thought they had seen all directions, but they just didn't notice when they were approaching - this small group of about ten people was tall and short and fat. Different in thickness, but equally silent, standing quietly in the shadow cast by the dark clouds. The leader stood at the front and bowed politely to the strangers.
"My name is Hidechi Ikawa, and I am an adventurer from the East."
As the visitor bowed, a strand of light yellow hair slipped from his ear. The bird-shaped mask covered most of his face, and only the corners of his mouth could be seen raised, as if he was smiling.
Seeing the wary expressions of the Nanguo siblings, the blond adventurer took a step back and raised his hands apologetically, "I have no intention of being hostile to the three of you - although it is very presumptuous, but do the three of you have any plans to cooperate with more people? "
Although there is no need to continue to play the role of an ancient Western adventurer in the uninhabited ice field, since the other party is acting with great interest, Xiaoye does not mind cooperating, so she just follows the conversation and asks: "What are you referring to?"
The young man named Ikawa Hidechi smiled and responded, "Please allow me to introduce my comrades first."
He turned sideways and spoke out the names of the adventurers surrounding him, acting like the leader of the team.
"The three of you must have discovered that Fengxue Mountain is so vast that even this ice field is difficult to fully explore by one person." It was obviously not the first time that the uninvited guest had said this, and he talked skillfully, "Therefore, I We chose to form an alliance with reliable adventurers. So far, we have found out many secrets about Snow Wind Villa and hunted more than twenty Warcraft through teamwork."
Hidechi didn't miss the gentle gasps coming from the Terashima siblings. He thought that the matter was settled, and he smiled and sent out an invitation, "Also, our alliance follows the principle of resource sharing, and intelligence and battle results always belong to everyone - if the three of you think that our strength is acceptable, do you want to consider joining us?"
The meaning of his words was clear, almost making it clear that "as long as you join, you can get a lot of information for free."
Huangfa's alliance leader believed that after trekking in the vast snowy field for most of the day, no one would refuse such a good thing of mutual benefit. As for "Whether resource sharing will harm one's own interests" - as early as when introducing the alliance members, he briefly mentioned everyone's strengths and achievements, which undoubtedly proved that there was no one in the team who did not contribute. In fact, he used the same method to win over his current teammates.
Xiuzhi watched confidently as the three people opposite him exchanged glances and nodded to each other. Just when he had put on an elegant smile to welcome the new members, the purple-haired boy who seemed to be the leader spoke calmly——
"Thank you for the invitation, but we have no such plans for the time being. If there is nothing else, please allow us to take our leave."
Xiuzhi: "..."
The drone cleverly took a ten-second close-up of the yellow-haired boy's frozen smile. The live broadcast room was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the screen was filled with hahaha flying by.
As the most played contestant in the single-player live broadcast room, Hidechi Ikawa is a well-known young man - he has participated in professional leagues and often appears on variety shows, and is considered a member of the celebrity trainer family. Because of his interesting temperament and decent strength, he quickly attracted a group of loyal fans.
Although traditional trainers are quite dissatisfied with some of their colleagues moving closer to the entertainment industry, and online scoldings often occur when the two sides are on the same stage, but in a competition like the Snowstorm Battle, which is based on acting...no, relaxed and happy, there are few Spectators debate among themselves whether competition should be entertaining. The spectators watched with interest as Hidechi Ikawa used words and inducements to strengthen his team, efficiently collected clues, and successfully completed several wild hunts——
Then finally came the first failed mouth escape.
After discovering that the other party's answer was serious and decisive, Xiuzhi suddenly felt that it was difficult.
He watched the entire battle from a distance. The partners of the two spiny clams were average in strength, but the team leader responsible for controlling the field had amazing commanding abilities. His quick and calm reactions and skillful use of tactics made Xiuzhi immediately certain that the opponent must be an experienced and capable trainer.
Thinking of the number of people needed for his plan, the leader of the alliance decided to do some small experiments.
He sighed regretfully, "I understand. Before I say goodbye, I want to give you a piece of advice."
The yellow-haired boy stopped smiling, and his tone was no longer gentle and approachable, "The closer you get to the Warcraft Forest, the more powerful the Warcraft you encounter, and most of them move in groups. You can't cross that harsh ice field by relying on strategy. .You need more pure power, like this-"
As the sound of snapping fingers fell, the beast covered in flames roared behind him. Like a volcano erupting, the fire surged away with smoke and dust, almost creating a tsunami-like momentum.
Hidechi certainly didn't want to hurt the trainers who had different opinions. He just tried to provoke a Pokémon battle, hoping to use his victory over Firestorm to change the other person's opinion - but just a second later, an even more dazzling light emerged from the sea of fire.
Like a divine ax that created the world, the flame beam soared into the sky, almost touching the clouds high in the sky. The dazzling light forced Xiuzhi to close his eyes.
After the heat wave, the scene in front of him made the yellow-haired star trainer stunned on the spot.
A huge ravine appeared between the men and horses on both sides - the snow and ice caps melted and evaporated in an instant, exposing the charred rock surface. The traces left by the Firestorm Beast's fire breath were completely cut off halfway, and the snow on the other side of the ravine was still white, without even a trace of sparks.
Then, the flame dragon descended from the sky like a demon. Its eyes flashed red, steaming heat wrapped around its body, and the flames at the tip of its tail burned so brightly that even the air was distorted.
On the other side of the ravine, the purple-haired boy tilted his head and asked seriously, "Like this?"
Xiuzhi: "..."
Xiuzhi: "Farewell."
It wasn't until the group of people were so far away that they couldn't see the scorch marks left by the fire. The young man walking next to the leader of the alliance muttered, "You are so ignorant that you dare to refuse your invitation. Brother, do we want to Bring a few people to cause them some trouble?”
The expression behind Xiuzhi's mask became indescribable, "... After the show, don't play yourself into a vicious cannon fodder."
"Hey!?" The vicious cannon fodder who thought he had acted just right showed a deeply shocked and sad face.
"But that guy obviously has a fire-breathing dragon, why didn't he let it out even though he fought so hard against the ivory pig?" Someone next to him interjected.
"I'm thinking about this too." The yellow-haired boy frowned.
Although the play style of relying on Ghost Stone and Riolu to control the field is wonderful and fully reflects the trainer's skilled command skills, it is also too risky. There were several times when the ivory pig was only one step away from the trainer. If Ghoststone and Riolu reacted a little slower, the adventurer would be attacked by the enraged monster and would definitely be eliminated. Few trainers use a style with such a low error tolerance when fighting against wild Pokémon - this is why Xiuzhi judged that the opponent did not have a Pokémon with strong attack power.
However, since there is such a powerful Pokémon as Charizard, why should we use such risky tactics? Even if it is to train the Pokémon or preserve the physical strength of the general, Charizard should be sent to guard the side to prevent accidental elimination.
"Why on earth..."
The young star trainer's eyebrows were tangled, and the audience in the live broadcast room had no sympathy and became happier when he was puzzled.
【Can’t you think of it? The reason is "I'm a monster, you export it"]
[Hahaha, it turns out that normal people cannot understand sand sculptures]
[Axiu, wake up! You are a person who made his fortune through tactics, why are you going head-to-head with the Quartz Alliance Explosives wwww]
[It’s a pity that Brother Xiuzhi gave a big speech and didn’t ask the other party’s name]
[I agree, even if I know the name, I won’t use fire against Beidou www]
[And there is no need to worry about why he dares to attack two monsters alone, the martial arts faction is not afraid.jpg]
[Hmm... After watching the replay in the morning, I think the ivory pigs close to Beidou are the ones risking their lives to fight...]
Xiaoling, who was far away in the Baiyin Mountains, sent a few hahaha messages along with the crowd, then put on a serious face and looked at the figure on the video call.
"Captain, is it really okay to continue like this? If we continue to use the vice-captain as the spokesperson, will others mistakenly think that we are a team of comedians?" the golden retriever girl said seriously.
Xiaojie also cooperated very well and made a face, "Yes, captain, we have to shoulder the responsibility and strive to create a stable and reliable team image. How about we contact the reporter for an interview after our special training is over?"
Xiao Tian:"……"
Do you want Dawn to change from a comedy team to a circus?
At this moment, Xiaoye, who was in the snowy mountains, didn't know that she had attracted a group of onlookers because of her violent behavior and remarks - and she didn't know that the captain was deeply worried about the future of the Dawn Team because of this. She and the Terashima siblings circled the two ivory pigs several times, and soon found the "magic core" buried in their fur.
According to the Himi tribe, in order to fairly tally the achievements of adventurers, after killing monsters, the magic cores in their bodies need to be taken out as evidence - of course, in reality, they are just colored glass beads hanging on the Pokémon.
After collecting the loot, Long Xing asked curiously, "Boss, why did you refuse so quickly just now?"
When Xiu Zhi extended the invitation, the three people present seemed to have exchanged opinions with each other's eyes. In fact, Xiao Ye only received a "listen to the boss" look of trust, and had no choice but to act arbitrarily. The two caring siblings finally raised this question. Xiaoye sighed and said, "You said you wanted to finish this game like a righteous protagonist, right?"
"Have you ever said that?" Both of them looked confused.
"So, I think you won't like the way that person behaves." Xiaoye replied.
Lijiu and Long Xing looked at each other in confusion.
"What's the meaning……?"
Xiaoye put away the glass beads representing the "Demon Core" and smiled at the two of them, "It's just a guess - you will know the reason later."
The three-person team packed up and set foot on the road to the Warcraft Forest again.
They followed the original rules and did not actively attack monsters, but only fought back when attacked. Despite this, when they were only one hill away from the Warcraft Forest, they had six or seven more "magic cores" in their hands.
Not many wild Pokémon were encountered along the way, and most of them ran away when they heard any noise. There were only a few particularly irritable ones that attacked anyone they saw and were completely unable to communicate. Xiaoye and his party had no choice but to knock them down in order to protect themselves. Along the way, the Terashima siblings fully realized how pleasant it is to be a carefree output. The only dissatisfaction is that they hope that the Warcraft will stop holding the magic core in their mouths - even spitting glass beads. It's really hard to do in the snow.
At this time, the sunlight has moved westward, and the skyline has begun to glow slightly orange. After discussion, the three of them decided that after finally reaching the forest, it would be a pity to return directly. It would be better to go explore after having dinner in the wild.
So, they temporarily stopped in the safe zone under the hill.
For humanitarian reasons, of course the organizers will not film the contestants 24 hours a day, from eating to using the toilet. There are many safe areas set up on the vast ice field for contestants to rest. As soon as they step into the safe area, the drone will stop recording and Warcraft will not enter. On the snow surrounded by simple wooden fences, neatly set up tents surround the campfire, enough for adventurers to stop and take a rest.
It was probably getting late and most of the adventurers had already returned, so no one else was using this safe zone. Upon seeing this, the Nanguo siblings happily picked a tent they liked, got in and planned to have a simple dinner.
——Then they were dumbfounded by the compressed biscuits prepared for them by the Himi tribe in the package.
It is still the brand most commonly purchased by freelance trainers. It is a filling product and has a variety of flavors. It can be called the best companion for travelers.
"I thought they would give us dry biscuits or something..." Lijiu frowned, feeling that this pile of biscuits simply destroyed the retro atmosphere that the entire package should have.
"Do you know?" Xiaoye held up the compressed biscuits and said expressionlessly, "Just like the black flying objects hovering above our heads are the eyes of the gods, this incredible food is also a gift from the gods - it is said that only the eyes of the gods are These foods will only appear when patrolling his territory, and will be distributed to outside adventurers by the generous Himi clan members."
Lijiu: "..."
Long Xing: "..."
Long Xing: "Boss, please use your magical powers."
After finishing dinner in a few moments, the three of them released their Pokémon one after another to reward their friends who had worked hard along the way. After placing a row of dinner plates, the Terashima siblings turned to Xiaoye's side with great interest, intending to see what Pokémon the boss had.
——Then he was dumbfounded for the second time by the chaotic scene.
"...Uh, that." Lijiu pointed at Xiabei's nose, which for no apparent reason plunged into the snow in an attempt to escape, but was pulled out by Ghost Stone and pinned in the mud with his mental strength, and asked cautiously, " Are you doing any special training..."
"How could that happen?" Xiaoye laughed.
She briefly explained the north-nosed situation to her two temporary teammates. The entanglement between Bailang Town and the poaching group was too long, so she omitted all the background stories, and simply said that the owner of Chao Beibi was someone else, and she was just entrusted by someone to take Chao Beibi on a trip.
The siblings were suddenly enlightened when they heard this.
As pure wild freelance trainers, they have read through many requests at the front desk of the Pokémon Center, and have also seen tasks like this - Pokémon owners are busy with work and cannot bear to have their partners accompany them day and night. Being bored in the house, I had to ask other trainers to take their Pokémon out to relax.
Lijiu finished the whole story by herself, thinking that Chao Beibi was racing against time to escape because she missed her master. She took off her mask, leaned over with a smile and touched Qian Beibi's hard body.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know you want to return to your master, right?" The girl said softly in a coaxing tone, "As long as you endure it a little longer, you will definitely be able to see the person you want to see! Before that, you have to Be a brave child!"
Chao Beibi, who was imprisoned by his mental power, could not move, so he was naturally unable to respond. On the contrary, Ghost Stone, who was floating around while overeating, tilted his head.
It felt that the strength of Chao Bei's struggle suddenly became much weaker, and it quickly circled around the opponent to make sure that it had not broken any rocks in its excitement before it felt relieved.
After the noisy dinner, the sky began to darken. Without further delay, the three of them carried their packages and started climbing over the last snow hill.
Next to the trail near the mountain peak, they saw a stone tablet buried in snow. Longxing stepped forward to brush off the snow and carefully looked at the words and patterns carved on the rocks.
"This seems to be...a boundary monument?"
This seems to be a very ancient stone tablet. Its edges and corners have been rounded off, and the writing has become blurry. Several deep scars were engraved on the surface of the stone tablet from top to bottom, as if someone had tried to destroy it.
In the light of the setting sun, they struggled to make out the fragmented writing under the scratches.
[This is the boundary, and the north is the sacred forest]
"Sacred Forest? Isn't it the World of Warcraft Forest?" The two siblings murmured in discussion, "Looking at this stone tablet, it's quite old. Could it be that it was called a long time ago?"
Xiaoye did not participate in their conversation for the time being. She wiped away the remaining snow at the base of the stone monument and saw a small petroglyph.
In the vast wind and snow, a group of little people were dancing happily around a bonfire. On top of the bonfire, the giant blue bird spread its wings in a protective posture - there is no doubt that this is the posture of the frozen bird.
After thinking for a moment, Xiaoye stood up.
"Let's go to the top of the mountain."
The adventurers in white cloaks walked through the snow and gravel to the final high ground.
In the field of vision, the unchanging gray-white rocks are replaced by the vast sky. When the scenery suddenly opened up in front of them, the siblings from the South looked at the incredible scenery below and were speechless for a moment.
It is a willow tree that grows lushly in the deep mountains, with branches and leaves as crystal clear as diamonds and as bright as stars--a willow tree in the ice and snow.
