August 15th, early morning.
The competition has entered the sixth day, and there are only two days and one night left before the dust settles. Many players have figured out the game routines and are running around between the ice field and the World of Warcraft forest, busy "advancing the plot."
——Of course, there are also a group of people who are so anxious that they feel something fishy wherever they look. Even when the NPC steps into the door with his left foot first, he will keep asking for the reason for a long time, making the entire Fengxue Villa as noisy as a wet market. . The actors who played the unlucky village residents were so harassed that they all remembered the horror-themed stories of last year - at least they were playing zombies without being forced to speak.
Beside the alley to the east of the "vegetable market", a girl wearing a newsboy hat looked suspiciously at the two siblings in front of her who were talking nonsense.
"Wait a minute, I think you are bluffing me." The girl grinned, "Ignoring whether what you are saying is true or not, you want our entire team to help you? What, you are sending us a message on behalf of the Himi family? Bonus?"
"Whether we can help or not can be discussed later." Old God Lijiu said in the tunnel, "There are many people here, so let's go in and have a detailed chat."
"Twenty minutes at most." Long Xing held up two fingers with a smile, "This won't delay Sir Captain from earning your bonus, right?"
The girl in the newsboy hat rolled her eyes, and finally couldn't restrain her curiosity. With the mentality of "Let's see how many outrageous stories they can make up," she entered the house with her siblings.
The viewers watching the show only saw the three of them crowding into their sister's bedroom, and the live broadcast gradually dimmed. Ten minutes later, the girl in the newsboy hat reappeared on the screen with red eyes and swollen eyes, looking like she had just burst into tears - if she hadn't rejected the gesture of the Terashima siblings putting their arms around each other, the audience might have called Reported that someone was bullying the players privately.
"Hey, calm down, we are going to do something big, and we can't be exposed now." Lijiu waved her arm and slapped her new companion on the back.
"I know." The girl muttered, wiping away her tears and putting on the bird mask that adventurers were equipped with to cover her eyes that were swollen from crying.
She looked up at the sky and became a little anxious.
"We can't delay any longer - let's go, I'll take you to meet my teammates!"
The three of them hurriedly walked through most of the Snow Wind Villa and went straight to another private house. The viewers at Station N were confused. They rushed into the room and filled the screen with question marks as the live broadcast room turned black again.
[What are they doing, what happened? ? 】
[Why can’t we find a room with a camera to chat (Pain Mask.jpg)]
[Did anyone hear clearly what they said to Asaki at the beginning...]
[You couldn’t hear it, the boys next to me were shouting like they were having a meeting with noisy birds]
[Real-name protest against this kind of abuse of the audience, what kind of southern people are you talking quietly! 】
[I’m so anxious. Didn’t these two people pretend to be anchors in front of the camera yesterday? Why don’t they tell us the progress of the story today?
【What happened last night?】
[Is there any movement over Beidou? 】
[The live broadcast room is still closed]
[Brother, you don’t want to think that if Beidou started a live broadcast, would there still be so many people here?hhh]
[I’ve taken it, it’s been almost ten hours, and I haven’t even shown my face]
[The Himi family hasn’t made any new announcement yet, so I stayed up all night! ! 】
[Staying up all night +1, if it causes my hair to fall out, I will go up the mountain tomorrow to avenge my hair loss (smile.jpg)]
Soon, Lijiu and Long Xing's live broadcast room was opened again - walking out with them was a girl named Asaki and her team of more than a dozen people. The group of people rushed towards the square in the center of Fengxue Villa with high spirits and firm eyes.
After a while, the news bulletin post on the Snowstorm Battle that had the most replies on the GT forum began to be updated one after another.
[Report! The adventurers and the children of the Himi family started fighting in the square! 】
[Report! The conflict was so intense that some even used magic! 】
[Report! After discussion, the conflicting parties decided to set up a ring in the square to compete with each other. Some people have already opened the handicap and started placing bets! 】
[Report! They took down the house number of the Elder's Mansion! 】
【……】
After a brief silence, not only the people squatting in the Terashima sister and brother's live broadcast room - all the viewers watching the live broadcast of the Snow Battle invariably put question marks in the barrage.
When the live broadcast room and forum were swept by a storm of questions, the person who attracted the most attention had already quietly left Snow City.
"If you want to enter the Rift Valley, this is the safest way."
The adventurer Beidou stopped with his companions, looking through the green branches of the cedar and looking at the deep, dark valley not far away.
After leaving the live broadcast camera, Pichu could finally leave the Poké Ball and have some fun. At this moment, he seemed to be suffering from ADHD similar to that of Charizard, stepping on the trainer's shoulders and head and fluttering around, even the cold was forgotten. Seeing that the humans had stopped moving forward, the electric mouse poked its head out curiously and rolled its eyes to look at the place where it was.
Snow covers the rocks in the mountains, mottled gray and white. The three people at the edge of the valley were all wearing light-colored cold-proof clothing. From a distance, they almost blended into the snow. Even if a drone flew over to capture the bird's eye view, it would be difficult to capture them in a fleeting picture. To the figure.
"Time is limited, we need to reach the bottom of the valley as soon as possible." The young man snapped his fingers, and the Snow Witch appeared in response. The hazy ice mist gathered and dispersed, hovering around the human body.
Karl turned his questioning eyes to his companions and received a nod from the two of them.
Snowstorm battles have a common tradition over the years - the venue for the final battle will definitely be on the top of Snowstorm Mountain. Despite this, few players tried to explore the mountain top in advance, because a bottomless rift blocked everyone's way.
The terrain of Fengxue Mountain is steep, and the area near the top of the mountain is especially steep and full of cliffs, making it difficult to walk. If you look down from a high altitude, you can see a deep "crack" almost surrounding the entire mountain top.
It was a rift valley that was approximately ring-shaped. The cliffs that go straight up and down block the climbers' footsteps. There is only a gap near the curling stone, and they can barely climb up the mountain. The only road is usually strictly guarded by the Himi tribe, and competitors are only allowed to pass at the end of the game. . And if you don’t go through Curling, no matter which direction you go up the mountain, you have to cross the chasm that is a thousand meters wide. The peaks on the opposite side of the rift valley rise sharply in elevation. The chaotic airflow caused by the height and complex terrain makes snow fall all year round. It covers the top of the mountain and visibility is extremely low. Even flying wild Pokémon can easily get lost in a snowstorm if they take off rashly. If they are unlucky, they might even crash into a rock wall.
By the way, a once-strong contestant tried to forcefully fly across the rift, but was directly shot down by the Pokémon ambushed nearby by the Himi family. The tragic scene was so sad that everyone cried when they heard it, and it successfully made even the most courageous southerners... Too shocked to dare to act rashly.
Two days ago, when she noticed that Lijiu's spiny shell had the same phenomenon as the lost-lip baby in Bailang Town, Xiaoye asked her about her course of action that day. The place where Riju walked when they split up to explore the road, the location of the crazy Sand King encountered in the Warcraft Forest, and the day when the Diya sea lion went berserk, the scope of its trainer Ikawa Hidetomo's activities - unify the information obtained so far After marking it on the map, Xiaoye realized something.
They were all close to the edge of the circular rift.
If the "ice explosion" phenomenon mentioned by Carr is indeed caused by external influences, then investigating the "rift", the only common point between these three events, becomes a top priority.
"Are there just the three of us?" Xiaoye asked casually while sorting out her elf balls.
When discussing the action plan yesterday, Karl mentioned that the discovery of the rift valley had been reported to the elders in the family. Xiaoye originally thought that there would be new members participating in today's exploration. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Karl immediately expressed his doubts seriously.
"I am the person in charge of the ice explosion incident. Isn't it enough that I am here?"
Clive rolled his eyes fiercely, as if he didn't want to talk to this annoyingly confident compatriot. Xiao Ye didn't know how to respond to this, so she had to type an ellipsis on her forehead in response.
As a semi-primitive who had just gained access to the Internet, Xiaoye’s knowledge of the World Youth Championship quasi-champion was limited to the records listed in the encyclopedia. She had never even watched a video of a match, so she naturally had no idea what his opponents were saying. How strong is "unreasonably strong"? She was hesitantly thinking about whether what she just said was offensive and whether she needed to apologize, when she saw Karl added more seriously: "——My scenes are basically at night, and I have nothing to do during the day, so I am the person in charge. .”
Night:"……"
It turns out that your Himi family allocates jobs not based on strength, but on scheduling?
Clive couldn't bear to interrupt Carl's speech that tarnished the family's image, and threw out two words with an unhappy face, "Leave."
Karl chose a road with few trees and rocks, making it easier to stay. In order to rush on as quickly as possible, both of them resorted to the power of Pokémon - the looming figure of the Snow Witch clung to Carl's back, lifted the boy's body up, and floated towards the deep valley like feathers; while Clive turned over and jumped up. On the back of Bodhidharma Baboon, his partner is strong enough to easily jump between cliffs even with a trainer on board.
Xiaoye looked at the elf ball in her hand and hesitated for a while.
The cedar trees near the Rift Valley grow too densely, and large Pokémon will most likely hang themselves on the southeastern branches if they take off at will. Among Xiaoye's partners, Ghost Stone is undoubtedly the most suitable for carrying people through complex terrain.
only……
Through the translucent shell of the elf ball, Xiaoye saw the big ghost whirling around excitedly, looking like he couldn't wait to come out and show off his skills. She weighed the probability of being "bitten on the head and dragged down the valley", and finally decided to protect her own head - and the hearts of her temporary teammates.
The adventurer put the hairball mouse into his arms, then jumped up and used his own feet to keep up with the pace of his fellow travelers.
The road leading to the bottom of the valley can almost be described as full of dangers. If you slip and fall, your life will probably be lost. But Xiaoye's pace was fast and steady, as nimble as a Pokémon living in the mountains. It made the snowballs on the head of the Damo baboon look square, and almost distracted Clive.
The two young trainers from the Himi family didn't look too surprised. They were probably used to seeing Beidou players jumping up and down in competitions. Karl looked at the bottomless ravine below, patted the Snow Demon Girl's arm, and motioned her to come closer to Xiaoye so that she could take care of each other. Then he smiled and joked: "Fortunately, the hiking boots we issued have good anti-slip properties, so they didn't affect your performance. .”
Xiaoye blinked, and out of curiosity, she deliberately stepped on the ice covered with a thin layer of snow and slid far away. Karl and Clive were startled. Seeing that she did not lose her balance even so, and was still slipping smoothly, they took back their hands reaching for the elf ball at their waists.
The adventurer skated by herself for a while, and came to a rigorous conclusion: the anti-skid performance was indeed much better than her sneakers, probably because the sliding distance was at least two-thirds shorter under the same falling ice speed. Bar.
Karl couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, "You are exactly like our little flame neighbors."
"...?" What fire? What seedlings?
Xiaoye took the time to turn around while spinning and jumping, and threw a confused question mark to the boy floating in the air with the Snow Demon Girl.
"I mean the Fire People - have you tried their special jam? It was ranked in the top ten delicacies in the Orange Islands last year."
"I've tasted it, I've tasted it..."
Xiaoye just felt confused and was thinking about why she called the Fire People Little Flames first, or why she knew she had been to the Valley of Flames, when she saw Karl winking at her with a smile in his eyes.
The boy's gaze suddenly made Xiaoye realize that the feather hair rope she used to tie her hair was a specialty of the Flame Valley. No wonder her travel experience was immediately exposed. It seems that the relationship between the ice and fire tribes is really good, and you can even recognize them by the appearance of the souvenirs sold in the scenic area.
Seeing Xiaoye's clear expression, Karl also showed a satisfied smile - yes, we know that you are the Honorable Flame People who saved many people a few days ago. So you're welcome, just count on us as friends.
Clive: "..."
He looked at his lost friend and the little honorary flame looking at each other understandingly, and vaguely felt that they had not spoken together. Just when he was about to open his mouth to explain, Xiaoye and Karl had already changed the subject and started discussing the mountain climbing skills of the Fire People. Clive hesitated to speak, hesitated to speak, and finally chose to close his mouth again and continue to shut himself up.
Mentioning the People of Fire, Xiao Ye immediately recalled the earth-shattering battle in the Valley of Flames and the conversation with Huo Yuanye after the dust settled.
"...What they want to destroy is not only the bond between Niwa-sama and his tribe, but also the human race - their motives are more vicious and thorough than this, and their existence must be longer than I thought. Maybe they have been There are many mythical beasts that were once revered as beliefs, and the humans who believed in them were included in the target list.”
Late at night after the carnival, the leader of the Fire People once said this to Xiao Ye while sitting by the flickering light by the window.
She once again recalled the ominous dream that was dimmed by the brilliant aurora. The image of the wind and snow swallowing up the flames, and the sharp blade of ice piercing the chest of the divine bird is deeply imprinted in my mind and cannot be forgotten no matter what.
If the brutal fight between gods is really "the future that happened in the past", then... what will become of these two close-knit families living on the Orange Islands, and even the world?
"Mr. Carl, Mr. Clive, I have a question."
The adventurer looked at the two silver-haired and green-eyed teenagers beside him.
"In this game, will the Himi family's guardian beast - "The God of Blue Feathers" appear? "

Clive: Why do you talk ten times more than I do, but you can still say exactly the same thing? (autistic)
