Chapter 3 Dragon Slayer
Below a hillside, a caravan from Yata was carefully marching on the road. On the left side of the road were rocky slopes of cliffs, and on the right were dense vegetation hidden in the forest.
Due to the existence of cliff hills, this is the only way to reach Miraba, the important town of the extreme northern part from the north.
In fact, the journey at the beginning was quite easy. The team was moving along the road. Almost all caravans acted like this, and it was easier to find danger on the vast and empty plains. In fact, it was rare to hear that someone encountered thieves or other monsters in the first half.
However, after resting from Xiqiao Town, you will start to encounter trouble when you set off again, because it is the edge of cliffs and hidden forests.
It is not surprising that the thief group and the goblin robbery group are not surprised. They are unlucky to encounter stone giants on the cliff hills or barbarian tribes that are roaming from further north.
On the cart that was leading, a strong bearded man picked up the leather bag in his hand, took a sip of strong wine, and wore an eye mask on his left eye, but the surviving right eye was covered with a turbidity. His right hand was always rubbing the hammer handle wrapped around the cloth strip, and there was a heavy shield that could be picked up at any time.
The young groom beside him didn't have the interest, but just gently wielded the whip in his hand with a little nervousness and fatigue.
In addition to some cargo, there are two young people dressed in adventurers sitting on it, whispering to each other about adventure stories that they heard from the tavern.
There were more than a dozen carts behind and a carriage owner who was riding in.
In a broad sense, this place is already very close to the ridge of the world. As winter approaches, the bitter cold wind will ruthlessly take away the heat from people.
The bearded adventurer glanced at the two young men behind, listened to the irrelevant stories, and sneered. But he didn't intend to bully the children. As one of the adventurers hired by this caravan, Ge Lied is a good warrior. He has run more than once on this road. The mace in his hand has broken the heads of more than twenty goblins. His left eye was blinded by a robber, and of course the robber gave his head. Among the adventurers hired by the merchant, he is already quite experienced.
"Witch?" a young man with a fur hat from behind muttered. He looked up at the long stone slope and sighed, "I think that businessman can't afford to hire."
The young man was right. Although Ge Liede did not participate in the discussion, he listened. The stingy businessman just hired two groups of people, a total of more than a dozen adventurers, half of whom were newcomers with lack of experience. Even these two were his original old friends who gave the upper half of his body to Shi Giant, and the other went back to his hometown to get married. Only then did the novice who came in. There were some businessmen's own private guards, but in addition to being dressed more brightly, they were just better than the newcomers on their side.
"I heard of that person" said another person, "It was a powerful wizard from Luskan, and it was the failure of the competition for the tower master and he ran away."
It is impossible to distinguish the difference between a sorcerer and a mage, so many people directly call those spellcasters wearing robes wizards.
"No, it's obviously a wizard from Chang'an Town. My relative in the 'Three Pig Land' said that he was still a dragon slayer and killed the black dragon."
Greed has also heard of that wizard recently. He has suddenly become famous in the north in the past two months. In just one month, he is alone... and I heard that he is still with a child. This made the generation of Beren Mountain completely quiet.
Barbarians, orcs, orcs, bear goblins, I heard that many tribes suffered heavy costs in conflict with this wizard and began to escape in the direction of the Sword Mountains.
Based on his experience, it felt that it might be a warlock. Because warlocks take more frequent adventures, mages stayed in their own place for research. When he was young, he was fortunate to participate in an adventure with warlocks in the Dead Swamp. The flames released by the arrogant and beautiful woman were impressive. I heard that she was from Luskan. However, compared with the famous warlock "Dorag" recently, it is much worse. Some people suspect that this name actually claims to be a dragon vein warlock, not a real name.
Judging from the range of activities of the warlock, he is indeed quite likely to be in Chang'an Town. However, it is hard to say whether he is from Chang'an Town. At least the scholars of the Habel family have never heard of such a warlike guy.
As for dragon slaying... I really think that even the black dragon, which ranks behind the five-colored dragon, is not easy to provoke. Unless countries are forced to force themselves, they will not provoke any dragon.
Suddenly, Ge Lied instinctively felt something was wrong. A rock fell into the middle of the team and hit the driver of the second cart. Zhi saw the man groaning, flew into the air, and fell heavily to the ground. His face was facing down and he didn't move.
The horse was also frightened and ran away. As a result, the cart was stuck by the stones on the side of the road, and the horse could not escape it.
"Enemy attack!" Grasping the shield beside him, the driver beside him had already hid behind the cart, and the two people behind him jumped out of the cart with long swords. One of them was broken by another rock and wailed.
The entire caravan also found covers one after another. Not long after, a few more rocks rumbling and landed near the convoy.
The young adventurer who was lucky enough to be unharmed asked in a frightened question.
"Damn... it's a stone giant." Ge Lied hid behind a rock more than ten feet away from the cart and supported the side with a shield. He didn't think that his ordinary iron shield could block the rock thrown by the stone giant. He smacked his lips at the young man on the other side of the rock. "It's so unlucky"
In fact, although stone giants cannot be said to be rare, they are actually quite unlucky to meet them. Relatively speaking, they are really lucky.
Another rock fell down, almost rubbing the shield. This made him feel excited to escape. Of course, credibility is very important in this business. Survival after fighting and surviving after running away are two concepts. Unless all the people present die, this can be considered as death without evidence.
The rocks fell like raindrops, and the stormy attack did not interrupt at all. The stones kept falling around the caravan, with at least ten stone giants. Some stone giants were gradually moving forward. These giants were divided into three groups, one of which kept throwing stones to attack, and the remaining two groups surrounded the trapped humans by the left and right wings respectively.
The stone giant is the most good creature on the continent to attack. Even the strongest human beings cannot withstand the throws of the stone giant.
But God seems to have not given up on them.
Suddenly a black shadow appeared in the sky, and the black shadow became larger and larger. Whether it was a stone giant or a human, they all looked at the huge black shadow in horror. It was a black dragon, but the state of this one was obviously not right, and it seemed to be injured...
Just as the dark blue beam penetrated the black dragon, it instantly lost its power from the air, fell down, and killed two giants who had no time to escape.
You can see the black dragon reaching the broken chest, which can terrible crystallization and penetrate the cavity. The biological tissue that has become crystallized emits a chilling cold air. Not long after, the black dragon's corpse and the surrounding gravel were covered with frost.
It was originally the climate of late autumn, but in less than ten seconds, this area had become a valley of ice wind comparable to that of the deep winter. Although there was no cold wind, the biting cold made humans and stone giants very scared. Especially when they saw that they were closer to the black dragon, they were lucky to be hit, but they did not escape immediately because they were staring at the corpse of the black dragon. They crawled all over by frost. They turned their heads to escape but couldn't take steps. As a result, they were frozen in a few breaths, turning into an ice sculpture that they didn't even remember to wail.
It seems that the scene in the movie "The Day Afternoon" was staged on the hillside, and the last one of the stone giants did not escape the fate of being frozen to death. Perhaps it would be much more kind to turn into crystallization in one breath.
The humans at the foot of the mountain not only felt the terrible cold, but also felt cold in their hearts, especially as they watched the black dragon's corpse gradually turn into crystals and shatter, turning into shiny dust in the wind disappear.
At this time, they noticed that on the hillside that turned into a snowy world, two figures appeared without being affected by the cold at all. One was wearing a black hoodie robe, and a petite golden color beside the man.
The wizard with a little blonde girl...
This perception reminded many people of the rumor that had no evidence not long ago.
Yes... If the dragon is slaying like this, how could the corpse (evidence) be left behind?
