The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 179 The Demigods’ Snowfield Adventure

"The road ahead is very narrow. If you are not careful, you may get lost in the snow and fall off the cliff. You must be careful."

Marlenia warned the two of them carefully, mainly to tell Li Ang, and Latarn was just a side note.

This road is the only way from the Royal City to the Holy Tree. She has walked it many times before. Although she has not been there much in recent years due to Monggart's blockade of the snow mountain, she is still very familiar with it.

"It's such a strong wind." Li Ang rubbed his stiff cheeks.

The hot breath he exhaled was blown away in the blink of an eye, disappearing into the wind and snow.

The three of them are all demigods and have been protected from the cold and heat for a long time. However, the biting cold wind carrying snowflakes as hard as salt grains and hitting them head on makes them feel quite uncomfortable.

"It's just a wind and snow, but it can't destroy a man's will to stand upright!"

Latarn is still the same as before, with his arms folded and his posture tall and tall.

Gravity magic forms an invisible barrier around him, blocking out all the howling wind and snow, so despite his size, he is the one least affected by the environment.

Seeing this, Li Ang hid directly behind his uncle: "Ah, it really feels much more comfortable."

Marlenia followed suit and hid: "It seems that you, a big fool, are not useless. At least you can protect us from the wind and rain."

Latarn snorted contemptuously. He had a lot of money and was too lazy to argue with the girl.

The three of them, one foot deep and one foot shallow, were struggling to walk in the harsh snowy mountain restricted area. Because the visibility ahead was extremely low and their ears were filled with the roaring wind, they lost interest in chatting and walked on in silence.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the outline of the Lord's Elevator loomed at the end of the field of vision.

The three of them increased their speed. When they were about to step onto the steps in front of the elevator, an unpleasant and old voice sounded from the darkness in the corner.

"Turn back quickly. There is a place of giant flames ahead. Don't get any closer!"

"You are about to commit a serious crime, Lord Finger will punish you!"

Latarn, who was walking at the front, subconsciously stopped and looked around the corner.

Li Ang poked his head out from behind his uncle: "She's an old woman who has her finger removed. There's no need to worry about her."

"You really don't need to pay attention to it." The experienced Marlenia explained: "She always says this every time I pass by, and she has never punished me with her fingers."

After listening to what the two said, Latane lowered his guard and moved forward.

The structure of Lord's Great Elevator is basically the same as that of the Decodas Great Elevator along with Lienia and Yatan Plateau. Li Ang held up the oval talisman given to him by Melina and aimed it at the statues on both sides.

A few seconds later, as the statue rotated little by little, the lifting platform under the three people's feet made a huge roar and slowly climbed up with tremors.

"Lord's Talisman Festival turns out to be here!"

The time for waiting for the lift to reach the top was too long. Marlenia was the first to break the silence: "I told you that I searched the whole city and couldn't find it."

The Lord's Elevator leads directly to the east gate of the royal city. Due to its special location, the east gate is not as tightly guarded as other city gates. If the key to the activation falls into the hands of an enemy force, it can easily be exploited to infiltrate the city.

"Xiaomei picked it up that night." Li Ang handed the talisman to Valkyrie: "If you don't tell me, I will forget about it and give it back to you. I don't think I will need it in the future."

Marlenia put away the talisman and said, "What about Xiaomei, who didn't come with you?"

Latarn was instantly alert, stroking his chin and thinking, "Who is Xiaomei? It sounds like a girl's name."

The three of them chatted one after another, and finally got through the boring and long waiting time.

Stepping out of the stationary big lift, you see a rugged mountain road covered with snow. Strange phantom trees grow on the side of the road. Occasionally, small animals also made of phantoms run by, bringing some warmth to the cold snow-capped mountains. vitality.

The air in the Giant Snow Mountain is different from that in the forbidden area. Although it is still bitingly cold, it is a little clearer than the latter, and the field of view is much wider and brighter than in the forbidden area. It has a bit of a "splendid view ahead".

"This is called the Samir Ruins. Going straight along the ruins is the Giant War Heroes Cemetery."

Marlenia opened her mouth to explain to the two of them.

Hearing the familiar vocabulary, Li Ang and Latarn looked at each other and smiled.

Samir's cold magic has a lot to do with Lani.

The three walked through the snow-covered ruins and climbed a small hill.

Marlenia suddenly released the majestic and fierce aura of a demigod, and explained: "There are a large number of snow-capped falcons living in this area. If you don't scare them away, they will be easily attacked."

Animals are far more sensitive to danger than humans, and they will never rush in foolishly even though they know they cannot defeat them.

Li Ang suddenly realized it and learned another little knowledge about the intersection.

Latarn put away his swords angrily, thinking that Marlenia finally couldn't help but take action.

Following several sharp calls, white falcons nearly as tall as a human soared into the sky from hidden corners that could not be seen, and kept circling in the sky.

Marlenia led the way with ease: "They won't dare to land in the short term, let's go."

Latan looked at the falcon in the sky and said: "It seems that this vicious woman like you is not useless. At least you can be our guide."

Having avenged the stupid guy just now, my uncle is in a good mood.

Li Ang was afraid that the two of them would choke, so he had no choice but to smooth things over: "You are all useful, but I am a useless snack, can we leave quickly?"

Marlenia looked at his face and decided not to be like the stupid guy.

After crossing the hill, a narrow bridge composed of uneven stone platforms came into view, like a sharp knife separating the snowfield and the mountains.

A tall, fat flame bishop dressed in red and several flame martial monks guarded the bridge entrance.

This group of people also has another name - the Flame Watchers.

They are ordered by the Eternal Queen Malika to stop all ambitious people who try to get close to the Ashing Flame.

Many of the Red Lion knights who are good at using fire were born as flame monks.

"I'm very familiar with the flame monks. Let me go and talk to them about old times."

Ratan walked to the bridge carelessly.

Li Ang quickly pulled him back with quick eyes and hands: "My dear uncle, please think about what we are here for."

Marlenia sneered contemptuously: "Stupid!"

Only then did Latarn react and sneer a few times: "Sorry, I forgot."

Then he added: "Then what should we do next? I will never fight with them, otherwise I will be sorry for the gang of bastards under me."

"I'll do it." Marlenia pulled out the prosthetic knife.

The last time she came here, there was no flame monk guarding the bridge. It was obviously Mongot's fault again.

Li Ang also stopped the Valkyrie: "Don't worry, there is no need to take action, we can just fly over. The bridge is so narrow anyway, the general can't pass."

"But there are golem guards on the other side of the bridge who can only shoot arrows. They must be dealt with first."

"Archery?" Latarn took off the lion bow on his back: "Then let's see who is better at shooting!"

He was seen standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance. After locking the target, a huge arrow comparable to a ballista was attached to the bowstring.

"I still prefer to hear you call me uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Latarn loosened the bow string that was as tight as the full moon, and the thick arrow flew out instantly with a long dark purple tail.

Whoosh————!
A loud buzzing sound echoed through the snowfield, and the flame monks subconsciously looked up, only to see a long purple light stretching across the sky.Immediately afterwards, a larger purple meteor flew towards the other end of the bridge.

Behind the meteor is a strange creature with two wings, holding a woman in golden armor in its arms.

The defense lines were breached one after another, and the flame monks were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

After crossing the bridge, the three of them did not rush to land, but followed the frozen river directly to the source of the river - the frozen lake.

The frozen lake lived up to its name. The entire lake was covered with a layer of hard ice several meters thick, making it safe even for Latarn's size standing on it.

As for why I didn’t fly forward, it was because the environment ahead suddenly became harsh again.

The raging snowstorm almost obscured the entire field of vision, and there was a vast expanse of white everywhere, making it easy to get lost while flying.

"There's a church to the southeast. We can take shelter there, if you want."

Marlenia raised her hands to shield her eyes from the wind and snow, and asked the two for their opinions.

Li Ang calculated the time: "It should be getting dark soon, and we probably won't be able to reach the top of the Giant Mountain today. Let's stop and rest, and eat some hot food to warm up."

Latarn squatted on the spot: "Hot? In this damn ice and snow, we are the only three who are still warm."

The wind was too noisy around him, and if he didn't get closer to speak, the other two wouldn't be able to hear him at all.

"Believe me, brother-in-law." Li Ang took out the golden Mongwen holy spear, found a thin ice surface, and quickly rotated the tip of the spear that ignited blood flames.

The ice melted due to the heat and a large amount of white mist evaporated.

After a while, a perfectly round ice cave appeared.

Fish greedy for fresh air were quickly attracted and rushed to the surface to take a breath.

Li Ang held the holy spear and pointed it at the school of fish, just like Runtu meeting Yu under the moon.

One spear down, and you will get a lot of harvest.

"This fork is really good, let me try it too!" Latarn stretched out his hand enthusiastically, also wanting to throw two spears.

If the dead Monger knew that his precious holy spear was called a fork and was used for fishing, he would probably be angry enough to survive.

In just a few minutes, a small fish mountain rolled out at the foot of La Tarn.

When he was a child, he often took his younger brothers and sisters to catch fish in the Lienia Lake area. Today, he was able to reminisce about his childhood.

"It's my turn, it's my turn." Li Ang urged as he saw that there were fewer and fewer fish on the water.

The two had a great time playing, but Marlenia gradually lost her patience and grabbed the holy spear: "You are still playing, how old are you!"

Latan stood up and wanted to argue with her.

As a result, Li Ang, an accomplice, had already walked away with a pile of frozen fish.

"Go to church and make fish soup~"

"No sense of loyalty!" Latarn grabbed the frozen fish with two big hands and chased after him.

It's not that he's afraid of Marlenia, he just doesn't want to argue with women.

"Two childish ghosts." The Valkyrie also used her holy spear to pick up a few fish and followed behind.

The faintly fluorescent light blue soul jellyfish swims lightly among the dead trees by the lake. In order to survive in the harsh environment, they can always find the place with the smallest snowstorm.

So the three of them began to follow the remaining tracks of the jellyfish.

"Why do I feel colder?" Marlenia shook off the hoarfrost on her shoulders.

Li Ang, whose body was always steaming, asked doubtfully: "You haven't been here before?"

Marlenia shook her head: "Ritual Town is to the west of the snowfield, and we have been heading east."

"No wonder." Li Ang suddenly came closer and said mysteriously: "Then have you heard of [Freezing Fog - Boleleus]?"

Marlenia then shook her head.

Latarn, who was walking in front, bent down and spoke: "What ice mist?"

"It's not ice mist, it's a dragon, an ice dragon." Li Ang tried his best to amplify his voice so that both of them could hear clearly: "The ice dragon was the former owner of the giant mountain top we were going to. However, after losing to the flame giant, they were driven away. "

Latane interrupted his story: "You can talk about it later, there seems to be something ahead."

After that, he bent down, gathered strength, took off, and disappeared into the cold ice mist.

The sky lit up with dazzling purple light one after another, and the next second, terrifying meteors fell from the sky with blazing fire.

The shrill wail and the roar of the meteor falling to the ground sounded almost simultaneously.

The blizzard that was raging everywhere in the frozen lake subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Latarn's body gradually appeared, dragging a dragon corpse about the same size as him behind him.

The poor dragon's wings were weirdly bent, its broken ribs pierced the skin, and the back half of its body was as shriveled as a flatbread.

"I was worried just now that this little fish wouldn't be enough to eat, but now it's definitely enough!"

Latan threw the dragon corpse in front of the two of them, squatted down and asked, "Go on, what happened to the ice dragon?"

"Hey, why did the snowstorm stop?"

The corner of Li Ang's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Later, an ice dragon named Boleleus settled by the lake below the top of the Giant Mountain. As long as there is ice and fog, it is its territory. Who knows one day, unlucky Boleleus was eating ice fish and spitting out mist, and was suddenly stoned to death."

Marlenia, who had already understood, was laughing like crazy. She quickly turned her back, her shoulders shaking.

But Latarn hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he kept saying: "Is this the end? Then this Lucius is quite miserable."

Marlenia couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing: "Hahahahaha!"

Latarn glanced sideways at the Valkyrie who kept laughing: "No, it's boring. You don't know how to tell stories at all. You should learn more from Lani in the future."

Li Ang was humble and receptive: "What my uncle taught me is that I must study hard."

Latan showed a satisfied look, picked up his trophies, and continued to lead the charge.

At some point, the bright full moon was already hanging in the sky. He stopped and looked at it for a while before taking another big step.

Because of the presence of snow, the night in the snowfield is not dark at all, but surprisingly bright.

"No wonder ancient stargazers were born here. It is indeed a good place to watch stars." Li Ang looked up at the unfamiliar vast galaxy, feeling a little homesick for no reason.

I don't know what Madam and Bella are doing now.

Marlenia stood beside him quietly, looking up as well: "The last time I saw the stars was when my brother and I moved away from the royal city."

After Latan walked far away, he had no choice but to look back: "Can you stop looking? I, a descendant of stargazers, am not as obsessed with the stars as you are."

Li Ang looked away and joked: "Of course, you are Xingxing's mortal enemy."

"It's a boring joke." Latarn didn't bother to pay attention to this brother-in-law who didn't respect his elders, and turned around and left.

Marlenia smiled at Li Ang: "Let's go too."

　Thank you for your concern. I will go to the hospital during the weekend~
