Chapter 289 The Elf Running in the Snowy Night (Part 1)
There is no doubt that when Chen Kai and the others left the Elf Knights and set out on the road alone, their team shrank a lot. The most important thing is that although the Elf Knights are arrogant, they are more powerful combat power. The most important thing is that the Elf archers are also very powerful scouts, which can help Chen Kai and the others discover many dangers in advance.
So after leaving Tyramis and moving north, Chen Kai and the others slowed down. Although it might be safer to catch up with the legendary ancient mages in front of them who hunted the demons, God knows whether the ancient mages of the undead will use them as cannon fodder. Of course, the most important thing is that it is uncomfortable to let Chen Kai and the temple professions stay with a group of undeads. When dragging Negrim back to the elf empire, everyone was uncomfortable all the way.
The demonic power emitted from Negrim made Chen Kai and his body seriously repel the sacred power in Chen Kai and his body. Chen Kai and other temple professions almost held their faces all the way and barely walked to the elf empire. Then they threw Negrim to the elves, so they felt a little more comfortable, but even so because of helping the demon Chen Kai and other temple professions, they still suffered some losses in the kindness value. If they had not helped the elves resist the attacks of the undead elves in Lorant Yilit, they would not know when the kindness value they lost would be made up.
So if Chen Kai and the others catch up with the undead ancient mage in front and walk along with them, everyone might lose another good value. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Kai and the others chose to slow down. Of course, another idea in their hearts was to distance themselves from the ancient mages and let those ancient mages fight against the monsters in the forest. However, Chen Kai and the others knew that they would be safe in a short time, at least they should not encounter terrible monsters within the Denzel Forest.
After leaving Teramis, the roads around them were covered with snow again. The snow-capped forest once again became the main color of the world. Although the wolves that often pass by are approaching from time to time, their number has shrunk. They no longer threaten Chen Kai and the others' safety. The only problem is that although the wolves will not bite Chen Kai and the others, they will still make trouble for Chen Kai and the others. Because on the first night after leaving Teramis, Chen Kai and the others were robbed by the winter wolf in a big pot of meat outside. The pitiful pot of reindeer meat was all in the stomach of the winter wolf, even if Chen Kai and the others knocked them with sticks. These winter wolf did not let go of the delicacies that were stewed.
Looking at the extremely clean pot, Chen Kai and the others' faces were almost as dark as the bottom of the pot. How could they know that these winter wolves were as disgusting as they didn't attack them. There was not even a single piece of bone left in the pot of reindeer meat. The most disgusting thing was that these winter wolves didn't leave after eating and drinking. They lay directly next to Chen Kai and their tent, chose a place to shelter them and fell asleep.
"I'll go! Are these guys still wolves? TMD's dogs are better than them. I really want to kill them!!" Fei Yun yelled angrily, but he couldn't do it when he really practiced his words. If he dared to stab these winter wolves, these winter wolves would dare to bite him more than a dozen times. By then, Fei Yun's small body would definitely die, so although he shouted fiercely on his mouth, he could only squat on the ground and biting bread in great depression.
"Save some effort! After finishing it quickly and brushing the pot, I don't want to eat wolf hair in the broth tomorrow!" Chen Kai took a bite of the bread in his hand. Because the winter wolves occupied the outside territory, the bread could only be baked in the fire in the tent, so the bread tasted almost hard. Even if Chen Kai had a good teeth, his cheeks would hurt when he ate it.
"Why do you want me to clean the pot?" Fei Yun asked gritting his teeth while biting the dry and hard bread. Of course, he was not angry, but because the bread was too hard and he couldn't bite it. Feeling the power of the hard dough in his mouth, Fei Yun became even more angry with the winter wolf.
"Who are you going? Look at the duty schedule. You can do it today! Don't be lazy, be careful when you go out, don't step on the tails of those winter wolves. Otherwise they will bite you!" Chen Kai finally finished his food, and this time he added a lot of supplies from the ancient wizards, which were enough for them to eat for several months. In fact, the food prepared by Chen Kai and the others also included the portions of the elves knights, but unfortunately Romans finally disappointed Chen Kai.
"Okay!" Fei Yun looked at the duty schedule and found that it was really his turn to clean the pot today. Finally, he could only stand up helplessly and lift the curtain of the tent and walk outside. When the curtain was pulled open, a winter wolf tried to get into the tent, but of course it was kicked out by Fei Yun.
"Aowu!!" The Dong Wolf, who was kicked by Fei Yun, roared directly, and then opened her mouth and was about to bite Fei Yun's leg. However, a thick deer bone was stuffed into her mouth halfway. The angry roar soon turned into a crackling sound of eating bones. The winter wolf next to him smelled the smell of bones and rushed towards the winter wolf. Unfortunately, the winter wolf who was protecting food directly lowered his head and did not give him any chance to take advantage of the same kind.
"Get out! There is no bones anymore! Let's go!" Looking at the winter wolf surrounding him, Fei Yun drove him away impatiently. These winter wolf asking for food were even more annoying than dogs, because dogs would not dare to bite them after they kicked him. After all, Fei Yun's murderous aura was enough to scare away those low-level dogs. Unfortunately, no matter how Fei Yun scolded him, these winter wolves were still surrounding him. In the end, he could only squeeze out the winter wolf and walk to the edge of the pot.
As Fei Yun kicked over the big pot, the full winter wolf inside was directly lifted out of the pot by him. The hundreds of kilograms of winter wolf was not light, and this kick almost knocked the whole pot down. Fei Yun rubbed his feet and kicked it a little painfully and began to carry the pot outside. Originally, Chen Kai and the others could boil water to brush the pot, but now the bonfire was blown by the winter wolf with ice spells. Not to mention boiling water, it was impossible to keep warm. So Fei Yun could only use ice and snow to brush the pot, and then carry it back into the tent and rinse it with hot water once.
When he returned to the tent with a pot of heavy weight, his physical energy consumption was higher than a battle. Fortunately, his strength value was not low. After all, he was not leaving the pure agile thief, but the pure agile thief, although his combat power was strong, his defense was too poor. Of course, Fei Yun's strength value was not too high. After all, the thief did not rely on strength to make a living, but there was absolutely no problem to resist a pot.
"Get out!" After entering the tent, Fei Yun kicked the two winter wolves who were trying to follow in. The angry roar of the winter wolves outside the closed tent curtain was blocked before it could be transmitted inside. For Chen Kai and the others, being blocked by a group of winter wolves was definitely a tragedy, although they didn't need to worry about their own safety. Even the people on the night watch saved the trouble of these winter wolves.
"Are a bunch of bastards!!" Chen Kai sighed helplessly and then retracted into the quilt to start resting. When Chen Kai was sleeping soundly, there was a person or an elf who could not sleep. This elf was Romans. He was lowering his head and thinking, and the scroll he took from Chen Kai had already been thrown aside.
Romans had his own considerations for rejecting Chen Kai's request. Of course, this was not because he was afraid of death. If he was afraid of death, he would not have followed Chen Kai and the others into the Denzel Forest with less than a hundred people. You should know that Barthley was still waiting for him to go back to get married, but fortunately he did not put such a death flag in front of Chen Kai, otherwise Chen Kai would definitely choose to hide from him.
"Tomorrow, let's talk to the ancient mages that we are going to return to the Elf Empire!" Romans slowly said to the elves adjutant beside him. This elves powerhouse with the strength of the Sacred Domain level is one of the two elves powerhouses second only to Romans among the entire elves knights. However, he was a little dissatisfied with Romans' idea. After all, it was their responsibility to chase Jino, but they had to throw away Chen Kai and the others and the travelers and directly turn back to the Elf Empire. But as a soldier, he still chose to obey. After all, Romans is his commander no matter what.
"Hey!" Looking at the expression of the elf adjutant, he knew what the other party was thinking, but Romans did not reveal his thoughts in the end. However, he knew that the ancient wizards would still find his actions in the end, but it was important to take down the benefits before that. Of course, there was absolutely no benefit for them to leave Teramis and turn around the elf empire, because the benefits were all in the hands of Chen Kai and the others.
When it was bright the next day, Chen Kai and the others began to dismantle the tent, and the winter wolves who had eaten a meal of venison did not leave, but followed Chen Kai and the others. Because these winter wolves felt that they could eat meat with their group. In fact, they were all creatures raised by ancient wizards in a small plane before. These ancient wizards would come over from time to time to put some food to prevent the winter wolves from starving to death. Of course, they also instantly collected some winter wolf skins or magic crystals as materials.
So when Chen Kai and the others carried the ointment of the ancient wizards and a delicious meal of venison, the group of winter wolves, who had no moral integrity, all began to choose to follow Chen Kai and the others to prepare for food. This was a very good option for them, because they often did this in that plane in the past. First of all, their group of winter wolves had been completely crippled. Although they gathered up a group of old, weak and sterile soldiers, the overall number was only huge, but they were not led by the leader.
Because most of the head wolves lost all their losses against the demon elves, as the most powerful winter wolves, they almost rushed in the front. So they died the most. This group of winter wolves was actually recombined by more than a dozen winter wolves. If the winter wolves in the forest were not supplemented by ancient wizards from the small plane, there would probably be less than two thousand left.
"This group of damn wolves, can't they really depend on us?" Fei Yun felt extremely helpless when he looked at the Dongwolf who was following him, and at the same time he had a very bad premonition. As he said, these winter wolves followed Chen Kai and the others until noon. They basically followed them wherever they went.
"I'll go! Damn the sluts!!" Chen Kai and the others had no other tricks except to sigh. Fortunately, the winter wolf just wanted to eat and did not interfere with Chen Kai and the others' idea of rushing on the way. So although there were winter wolfs following, their speed was still not slow. At the same time, the Lord Jino, who had been running thousands of kilometers, began to slow down because he also knew that he had entered the rarely-peeded northern primeval forest area. So now Master Jino's speed is slower than Chen Kai and the others. Even if Chen Kai and the others were traveling on the snow, the speed was still several times that of the "Kino** Master". In a day, the Master of the Dead only walked less than a few kilometers, while Chen Kai and the others advanced more than thirty kilometers.
While Chen Kai and his friends were fighting with a group of elves, a group of elves knights slowly left Teramis with contemptuous eyes of several bronze mages and moved towards the direction of the elf empire. They didn't care about the departure of these elves from the ancient mages. In their eyes, a group of elves who dared not go to the north were cowards, and of course they themselves did not have a good intention.
Feeling the gazes of these ancient mages, even if Romans was thick-skinned enough, he felt a little depressed, but he could not tell the other party that he could only grit his teeth and endure the shameful gaze. He led the elves to run wildly towards the elves empire without looking back. Within a radius of 100 kilometers, the elves' wildebeests were very fast, but they barely entered the snow-covered area when the sky gradually became dark, because all the elves had a ball of fire in their hearts.
"What are you looking at! Keep on rushing for me, we still have a lot of roads to go today!" Romans put on a white wolf fur coat and rushed into the snow field quickly. Under the dim light, the light reflected by the snow in the forest was very dark. Because the deaths of a large number of winter wolves made the ancient wizards' eyes and ears become rare, so Romans and the others did not encounter winter wolves on their way forward.
But these elves soon discovered something was wrong, because their commander did not follow the path to the elves empire, but kept checking a crystal. The direction they were heading towards the north, not the west.
"My Lord Romans! Where are we going?" The Elf Adjutant standing behind Romans was one of the two Elf Knights who were second only to Romans. This Elf Knight named Rolarze had a fresh scar on his face, which was the trace of the claw of the Earth Bear that attacked them before. Although this scar may disappear soon, it now adds a hint of hideousness to the originally handsome Elf Knight.
"Where are you going? Of course, I'm asking for trouble for the necromancer Keno! Stop talking nonsense, we must speed up, otherwise we will not be able to catch up with that guy Kaichen!" Romans's words surprised the elves around him, because they didn't expect Romans to say this at this time.
"Then why didn't we set out with Knight Kaichen before? And why didn't we go from Teramis but from the snow?" Several elves were a little puzzled, because they seemed to be purely asking for trouble.
"Because Keno is a prisoner of our Elf Empire! I don't want to hand over his head to the ancient wizard. The tens of thousands of dead souls of Lolaner Ilitt are still waiting for his head to pay tribute!" Romans' expression on his face was very serious when he said this. Because this is his true words. If he set out with Chen Kai, then there is no doubt that even if he catches up with the Necromancer in the end, the ancient wizards would not let him take Keno's head back to the Elf Empire, so he could only complete the task in this way.
"But where is the Knight Kaichen?" Another elves knight obviously thought of Chen Kai and the others' problems. Because the ancient wizards asked Chen Kai and the others to take Jino's head back. If they brought Jino's head back to the Elf Empire, what would Chen Kai and the others have to pay for it?
"Of course I will say this after I have paid tribute to the soul of Lorant Illit!" Romans' words were very direct, and then they began to walk quickly on the snow. The thick snow quickly turned into footprints under their feet, and their speed was much faster than Chen Kai and others, but it would take a long time to catch up with Chen Kai and others. Fortunately, these elves had more physical strength than Chen Kai and others, and they could recover quickly after a long march. So these elves were faster than Chen Kai and others. But the problem was that they were hundreds of kilometers away from Chen Kai and others. If they hadn't had the crystal in Romans's hand, they might have lost their way in the vast forest and snow sea and finally died of starvation due to exhaustion of supplies.
You should know that because the elves went to the Elf Empire, they did not receive supplies from the ancient wizards at all. The supplies in Romans' hands are saved during this period. All the food is only enough for these elves to eat for about a week. If you save some, you can eat for more than ten days, but how can you save a high-intensity march? Therefore, whether for the belly or for safety, Romans and others must meet with Chen Kai and the others as soon as possible.
