The team entered the mountains...
Sean also began to feel the cold air brought by the melting snow that lingered around him.
The deeper we went, the thicker the clouds on the top of the mountain became.
The snow on the mountain has indeed melted, revealing the bare land that is invisible all year round. From a distance, the snow-capped mountain on the opposite side seems to have lost its vitality. Green can be seen below, but the upper part is like a wasteland.
It's very special, but it also confirms that the snow is beginning to melt.
Usually when traveling long distances, besides some dry food, the most important thing to bring is water, but this time no one brought water.
Because the snow melted, puddles could be seen all along the mountain trail...
Whenever there was no water, Sean would go forward to get some, then boil it with magic and drink it slowly. The water from melted snow tasted very bad, but after all, it was impossible to worry about these things in the mountains.
And every time this happened, Thor would curiously ask Sean...
"Sir Sean, why do you like drinking boiling water? It doesn't taste natural and has a strange smell."
Most people in this world drink water directly from nature. Many people drink river water or sea water directly when they see it, so Sean was too lazy to explain.
Just say it's a habit of mine...
“Will it be different from others?”
"There's no difference." He replied with a smile.
It was already the second day that the team had entered the depths of the mountains. They could no longer sense any other teams approaching. Perhaps it was because the other team was too large and they were all scattered and had no chance to find a good position.
There were only four people walking on the entire road.
And we have to be thankful that the snow on the mountain has melted at this time, otherwise the concrete puddles under our feet would turn into snow, which would make it even more difficult to walk.
"Have you been looking for dragons in this kind of environment before?" Lucille couldn't help but ask the two of them as they walked through the muddy road.
"It's almost always like this, but the routes we take are also different. This is our fourth time here, and we've only been here this first time. We took different routes last year and the year before."
So the last time I left was three years ago!
"But don't worry, even if we don't come, someone will definitely come. We set out relatively early, and there will be teams coming from behind. Dragon hunting is the highest-level bounty mission in the Xiata Empire. Over the years, no matter how far away, there will always be a hunter who returns."
There are many people who, like the two brothers, dream of finding at least one or two dragon eggs to gain promotion.
Even if many people lose confidence, there will still be others who come later. In short, as long as the bounty conditions of this task are still there, someone will complete it.
Just to see if my luck will be so good.
"Has anyone actually accomplished this in all these years?" Lucille asked.
"Of course..."
This time even Soran rushed to answer.
"There was one incident two years ago. We knew that person, but we gave up because we thought the rest of the journey wouldn't yield any results. But he found the young dragon. It was such a shame!"
The two brothers talked about a story from two years ago, which was almost the closest they had ever been to a dragon egg.
They had already reached the door, but they didn't go any further because the mountain was too steep, and they gave up because they didn't have enough food. However, the people on the other side insisted on going forward and actually met each other on a high cliff.
“Later I heard that they had no food and survived by secretly eating a dragon egg, and the baby dragon was brought back! Oh, what a pity…” The two brothers also talked about how the two people took advantage of the situation and had no strong abilities, but they got it and finally sealed off a large manor.
Now those two men are ranchers, and it is said that the woman has married four men.
The more he spoke, the more envious he became...which made Lucille sound contemptuous.
"Anyway, let's hold on a little longer this time. I've heard that some people heard dragons roaring in the summer. Maybe they will wander in the mountains." Soran said.
Sean has seen a flying dragon...
That image of a pterodactyl in the desert, but I don’t know what the dragons here look like.
At the end of the day, the sky in the forest quickly darkens, and it becomes even colder at night. If you don’t wear a coat on the boat, your eyes and eyebrows will be covered with frost.
Lucille still likes to walk close to Sean, and the team will choose to rest at this time...
It is necessary to calculate how many days the remaining food can last. If you find fruits or wild animals, you must eat them first, so that you can store more food so that there will be more possibilities later.
At night, the team rested in an open space somewhere in the mountains.
The surroundings were still cold and muddy after the melted snow, but there was no other way. They had already come to this point and could not turn back. Moreover, Sean planned to go deeper, otherwise there would be no way to reach the highest peak.
The four people were actually not far from the highest mountain. They could look up and see a group of snow-capped mountains in the distance whose tops were not visible, but the distance was still quite far.
And according to the two Soran brothers, few people dare to approach that no-man's land...
It is very likely that you will not be able to get out once you go in, so I advised the two of them not to go in!
The night deep in the mountains was quieter and colder than the previous one in the valley. The four of them continued to follow the same pattern, with two people taking turns on duty, the first and second half of the night. Sean and Lucille always took the first half...
As soon as they had eaten, the two Soran brothers went to bed early, leaving only Sean and his disciple sitting and chatting by the campfire.
The day before, Lucille felt that she had a lot to say, but after arriving deep in the mountains, she spoke very little, mainly because she was not used to the climate and her breathing was not smooth.
If the two of them didn't possess such strong strength, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for this long...
"Teacher, how are we going to get to the highest peak?"
"We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work out, we'll just separate from them," Sean said.
As long as the two brothers finally find the dragon egg or not, the team can disband on the spot. If they continue to go deeper into the place where they are now, they will reach the highest peak in the world. Even if the two are not there, Sean has the ability to go deeper.
"Yeah." Lucille nodded.
At this moment, a loud howl suddenly came from the dark mountains.
Sean had never heard a cry of this pitch before...
It sounded like a whale in the deep sea, or a monkey in the mountains. The high-pitched voice made it impossible to tell what animal it was.
The two brothers Soren and Thor were suddenly awakened by the cry.
"It's a dragon, a dragon has appeared!"
They hurried out of the tent.
dragon?
Sean looked in the direction of the sound in the darkness. At this moment, he seemed to see a ray of blue light flashing quickly in the dark distance.
"Yes, they must be dragons... They are in that direction!"
