Alien Knights

Chapter 242: Mid-Levels Snow Night

From the Froststone Tribe, he marched all the way to the northwest.

With Boyle as a guide, the journey on Wild 6 is less dangerous, more vivid and exciting. In this bitter journey of body and soul, the most beautiful scenery of the northern land was revealed in front of them.

In order to avoid the barbarian army, reduce the attention it draws. Boyle led Todd and Rachel through uninhabited secret trails, through hidden roads that only appear after low tide, and crawling along the vines to those seemingly out of reach openings.

Unlike Rachel, who is worried and anxious, every river that Todd has crossed and every mountain he climbed is the most meaningful segment of his life in his opinion. He also enjoys this period of life that may be life. The journey of the last time.

For ten days and ten nights, on the road day and night. The group walked out of the vast forest, walked through several kingdoms, and finally came to the border of the Ulster Kingdom-a towering snow mountain.

Grasping the protruding stone on the snow wall with his mutated claws, Todd jumped up with his strength and jumped into the air, then firmly grasped the edge of the top of the mountain.

One turned over and jumped to the top of the mountain. Todd exclaimed sincerely at the holy and magnificent snow scene: "I finally understand why some people like climbing so much..."

Rachel used his "mind force" to turn the rope and nails into a "self-propelled mountain climbing lift", and the second one climbed to the top of the mountain.

When it was Boyle's turn, he was frosty and it took a lot of effort to reach the summit. The first thing he climbed up was to lie on the snow, with his limbs spread out, in the shape of a "big" character, and said out of breath: "It's really good to have supernatural powers. We can do it with all our energy. You can do it with no effort."

Rachel patted the snowflakes on his body, looked at Todd not far away, and whispered: "But, we have to pay a heavy price..."

Pretending not to hear the woman's words, Todd looked at the scenery on the other side of the mountain and asked, "How far are we?"

"Climbing this mountain, you will see the Ulster Kingdom in front of you. This is the last kingdom you will pass through. You can see the fog of the "Shadow Kingdom" through it." Boyle got up from the ground and shook off. The remnant snow on his body pointed to a path down the mountain and said: "The sky is getting darker. We must speed up our journey. There is a hidden hut halfway up the North Peak for hunters who go up the mountain. We can sleep tonight. there."

Todd wrapped the fur tightly around him and said with a smile: "You don't need to eat and sleep, this is good news."

Two hours later, the sun set westward and the stars first appeared.

Before the blizzard raged, the group of three rushed to the cabin on the leeward side of the mountain in time.

Pushing open the wooden door gently, Boyle looked at the furnishings in the house by the moonlight, frowned and said: "Someone has been here not long ago. It's strange, this season is not a good time to go hunting in the mountains."

Using the power of "Night Vision", Todd looked at the things in the wooden house, firewood, iron pots, haystacks, everything necessary for life, and there was even a small bag of rye in the corner of the house.

"The hunters who go up the mountain sometimes do not know when they will be trapped by Blizzard, so they prepare food and firewood in advance at this location. Over time, this has become an unwritten rule—anyone can use the food here. Items, but remember to replenish them after use, so that the next visitor can use them.” Boyle took out the flint and steel from his arms and began to prepare for cooking.

Todd lit the wind-proof lamp in the house filled with animal fat, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to scratch his clothes with his left hand.

Rachel walked over and helped him complete this action.

Boyle holding the wood in his arms and walking towards the fireplace, in the light of the oil lamp, saw Todd taking off his coat, his body froze in place, and his footsteps moved backward unconsciously.

In his opinion, the mutant man in front of him can hardly be equated with humans.

The scales glowing with steel luster, the sharp bone spurs protruding from the spine, the horrifying sharp claws like a beast... Boyle subconsciously moved his eyes away and turned his attention to the food in front of him.

Picking up the cloth towel soaked in the snow, Rachel carefully and gently wiped every inch of Todd's skin. There was no fear and discomfort in his eyes, only helplessness and sadness.

Todd raised his arm, looked down at his body, and said with a wry smile.

"The degree of variation seems to be faster again..."

Rachel's voice was so low that it was almost imperceptible.

"Um."

"A few days ago, only the right arm, shoulder and spine were the only ones that have spread to the right leg today..."

"Um."

"But the mutation is not necessarily all bad, at least you don't need ropes and nails when climbing the mountain..."

Rachel put away the cloth towel and helped Todd put on his clothes again: "The "Land of Shadows" is not far away. As long as you get there before you completely mutate, you will be as good as ever..."

Todd nodded and gave Rachel a smile of "rest assured", but there was a voice deep in his heart that kept reminding him.

"Is it really? 』

Trying to put these mixed thoughts behind him, Todd chose to change the subject and asked Boyle: "Have you been to the "Land of Shadows"?"

The barbarian nodded in the lead, and then shook his head: "Due to a coincidence, I have been to the edge of the "Land of Shadows". Facing the black mist in front of me, I chose to shrink."

Todd touched the bridge of his nose: "So, what exactly is "Land of Shadows" like?"

"That's a magical realm with shadows all over all directions, a dark place that the sun will never touch, the home of the dead's souls." Boyle added a piece of wood to the hearth and said quietly: "It is rumored that there is a king of the underworld. Guarding the "dark gate" leading to the land of the dead. No one knows what it looks like. People who have been there either die on the way or enter the underworld forever."

Todd compares these descriptions with the myths of previous lives ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ is familiar, but he doesn't know the details.

"So, in the land of the North, have you ever seen someone like me?" Todd raised his mutated right arm and looked at Boyle.

The latter swallowed and whispered, "The cursed demigod."

Todd raised his ears and leaned forward: "What's that?"

"In the rumors of the Northern Territory, a group of people gained the power of gods, and they became half-god and half-human creatures. But this power itself is a curse, and it guides this group of "half-gods" to two paths. : The first way is to be controlled by a curse. "Demigods" will completely lose their humanity and become bloodthirsty monsters; the second way is to resist the curse, gain strength, survive, and maintain their human form. It is rumored that they can Gain the power to meet the gods and find a way to step into the realm of the gods."
