Chapter 73 [Canyon]

The three of them set off on the road and continued to walk along Dayuan Lake to the north of the forest like this.

The forest in front of me seemed to be vast and endless. The three of them walked along the lakeside and finally walked around the north shore of Dayuan Lake after two difficult days.

Du Wei took out the map of the Ice Peak Forest given by Beinrich, the leader of the Snow Wolf Mercenary Group, and looked at it. On this map, the southern shore of the Dayuan Lake was described in detail. There were marked where there were safer and where there were many places where there were many monsters.

The north shore of Dayuan Lake is relatively simple to mark: the large blank space on the map simply says the word "forest", and the only direction of progress was written by Captain Beinrich based on the information left by many adventurers of his predecessors.

"Okay, if we continue to go north, I think it's better to walk along this road on the map." Du Wei expanded the map and showed the two of them: "Look, this is probably the only place that someone has walked in the past two hundred years. Following here... in this direction, right at the upper left of our current location... and we will travel through a safe area. The map says that there are fewer monsters in this place, but after two days, we will reach a canyon. Oh, this canyon has no name, but it is clearly stated that there are dangers in that place and there will be high-level monsters. And if we go north, it is completely unknown."

Dardanell looked at the map very seriously, but Hussein looked indifferent.

"Do you decide, my companions, how do we go?" Du Wei smiled and said, "Are we following the map signs, which canyon we walk? Or are we just aimlessly going north? Wherever we go?"

When he said this, Du Wei was mostly looking at Hussein. He thought that the old magician must have a purpose in his trip to the Ice Peak Forest. This sacred knight who betrayed the temple should know the destination of the trip. They didn't say it before, but when he got here, he should have said it.

However, Du Wei was disappointed, Hussein looked indifferent and said lightly: "Whatever you want, just keep going north, as long as you go, you will decide which way you go."

"Let's go to the canyon." Dardanell pondered for a while and made his own suggestions: "No one has been to other places, but he knows what there are in those places. Only this canyon has been passed by someone before. Although there is not much information left, at least we can still prepare."

"Okay, then it's decided." Du Wei put away the map and smiled: "Let's head towards the canyon!"

He looked very indifferent. After all, he was surrounded by a number one knight in the mainland, and there was a top super magician following him at any time. Even if he encountered any danger, there shouldn't be much problem.

Going north through Dayuan Lake, the weather was so cold that it was unbearable. It can be said that if it were Du Wei's former physique, he would have been frozen to death on the road. But now, he practiced the new movements that Hussein taught him several times every day, which was enough to resist the cold.

Hussein, relying on his strong fighting spirit, was not afraid of the cold.

On the contrary, Dardanell, although he is a strong samurai, after all, his strength is only a level three warrior, but he seems to be unable to support it any longer.

The forest was entered on the north bank of Dayuan Lake. The weather here was very strange. There was no wind in the forest. There was silence around it, but the snow under your feet was so thick that it made people feel numb!

Sometimes, if you accidentally step into a snow nest, the thick snow can almost bury it on a person's waist!

Moreover, the snow here is not only thick, but also very hard! When everyone was camping these two days, when they dug up the snow on the ground and built a tent, the land was almost impossible to see under the snow! Several times they dug up the snow, but there was a hard ice layer underneath!

"Hell... I suspect that the ground here has no soil at all! It's all a layer of ice! How do these trees grow on this layer of ice? Can these trees grow in the layer of ice?" Dardanell sighed.

Du Wei frowned and whispered: "By the way, do you feel it... Since I left the lake and walked into this forest, I have always had a strange illusion... It's very quiet and there is almost no sound, but I seem to feel that we are always staring at something... Do you feel this?"

Dardanell shook his head, he said no. Hussein seemed to smile, and then the knight looked at Du Wei: "Oh? Do you feel it too?"

Du Wei relies on his strong mental power and keen sensing power, while the Knight is because of his transcendent strength. Only Dardanell, who has a relatively low strength, is just an intermediate warrior and does not have such strong sensing power.

"Are we targeted by some monster?" Du Wei frowned.

"Maybe it's not one, but a bunch." Hussein said lightly: "Not what! They're better not to appear. If they appear, we'll just treat it as more dinner."

Du Wei had no doubt about Hussein's words.

In fact, along the way, along the way, the three of them encountered more than once attacks from monsters.

In this place where food is scarce, the level of the monsters is also very high. Some bloodthirsty monsters will even attack them for a little prey. Even at night, Du Wei sprinkled dragon feces around the tent, but it gradually became less effective.

The monsters here seem to have relatively high intelligence. The dragon's feces cannot scare them away. Although they dare not attack directly, they will conduct some tests.

Once in the middle of the night, three earth dragons emerged from the land under the tent to attack them. This earth dragon is not a real dragon, but looks like a small animal like a pangolin that Du Wei had seen in his previous life, but this kind of thing can make people feel very troublesome!

They can freely dig holes and ice under the snow, which are harder than iron, and they can pass by at random, and the speed is very fast! These guys are covered with hard scales... How hard is they? You can ask Dardanell. Because in a night attack, Dardanell, a third-level warrior, slashed the back of a ground dragon with all his strength, and the ground dragon just shook his body, while the scimitar in Dardanell's hand had been broken into two pieces!

These earth dragons have extraordinary defensive power, but their claws and teeth are even more terrifying! They can easily bite off the hard metal! You must know that they rely on their claws and teeth to make holes in the frozen soil and ice!

This kind of small thing is not big, but it is amazingly fast and almost inferior to swords and guns. However, if you get caught by them or bite a small bite, you can bite your life!

If it weren't for the strong man like Hussein in the team, Du Wei would have no doubt that he and Dardanell would have been done.

That night, Dardanell slashed on a ground dragon with a knife. His own knife was broken. The ground dragon just shook his body and pounced on Dardanell. The claws that were enough to dig through the frozen soil were already on Dardanell's shoulders, easily piercing his leather armor, and even piercing the bones on his shoulders!

At this moment, Hussein, the first knight in the continent, took action. He swung out a sword with a dilapidated sword, with a faint golden aura. This light golden fighting spirit seemed extremely dazzling in the night. Just as this kind of light was radiating, three extremely hard earth dragons, with two cracks, and at the same time, the three earth dragons broke into six pieces, while the one on Dardanell was still lying on his shoulder, but his head had already rolled into the snow.

That night, the three of them enjoyed a barbecue ground dragon.

After breaking through the hard scales outside the earth dragon, the flesh of these small things is as tough as it can't be bitten...but their internal organs are very delicious.

Hussein even peeled off the scales from the three earth dragons, put a heavy bag, and gave them to Du Wei casually: "These things are used as armor. They are very light in weight, but they are harder than metal, and they should be very good materials."

The knight even pulled out the tendons of three earth dragons. The tendons were extremely tough. He used this thing to replace the bow of Dardanell's bow. The bow of the tendons of the earth dragon is several times better than an ordinary iron-tied bow!

Dardanell had no hatred for Hussein. Although Hussein almost killed him, the knight not only saved his life, but also made a good bow for him... In any case, he owed the knight.

Hussein still looked cold and didn't talk much. When he was fine, he held his arms and closed his eyes to rest.

Dardanell was embarrassed to talk to Hussein, but Du Wei didn't care. He had a lot of questions and could only get the answer from the Knights.

"Hey." Du Wei walked to Hussein and sat down: "How about the wound? I have a little ice berries here."

Hussein looked up at Du Wei: "Thank you, but no need. Eating too much of that kind will become addictive. Moreover, I ate ice berries that day and said something I shouldn't say. I can support it now and don't need these things."

Du Wei smiled, then whispered: "I noticed that your fighting spirit... is golden. I have heard that only the fighting spirit of the Paladin is golden. You were once the strongest person closest to the Paladin in a century. Now, look at the color of your fighting spirit... you are already a Paladin?"

Hussein raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Paladin... If I were already a Paladin, I wouldn't have so many injuries."

"Aren't you a Paladin?" Du Wei was a little surprised: with his own strength, he killed two level nine knights of his same level as him, and also killed a top magician (presiding judge) in the temple. Although Du Wei didn't know what level the presiding judge was, he thought there were at least level eight or above. In addition, there was an eight-level holy knight, plus several intermediate knights...

Has Hussein, who has such terrifying strength, not reached the level of a Paladin?

"I'm still at level nine now." Hussein sighed: "I feel that I'm almost at the critical point of breaking through, but I'm always a small step away... This step is clearly in front of me, but I don't know how to take it. Maybe it's today, maybe I can't pass this level in my life, only God knows."

Du Wei took a deep breath: "So... what is the Paladin like?"

"I don't know." Hussein shook his head, his eyes were a little confused: "But what I know is that there is an insurmountable gap before the holy level and the ordinary level. Ordinary knights, whether they are level 8 and level 9, have a big difference in strength, but there is no possibility of winning by level 9. For example, the ninth level knight is stronger than the eighth level, but if you can concentrate a few eighth level knights and work together, you can defeat a ninth level knight. But the holy level...

It is a realm that I don’t know... According to ancient legends, the only holy level cannot be challenged higher than the level. That is to say, once you reach the Paladin realm, you can only be your opponent unless there are other holy level knights. Even if you gather a lot of ninth level, you will never be able to defeat a paladin! Although there is only one level between level nine and paladin, this level represents a huge and insurmountable gap!"

"..." Du Wei didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.

"Sometimes, I feel that I am already very strong." Hussein smiled bitterly: "When I was fighting against Knight Luke and Knight Keli, although my strength was stronger than them, I could only deal with the joint attacks between the two of them, and I had reached my limit. But if I were a Paladin..." Hussein shook his head, closed his mouth, and did not continue talking.

Seeing that Hussein stopped talking, Du Wei knew that the guy didn't want to continue talking, so he could only sigh, shake his head, and go to the side to help Dardanell make a fire.

The next afternoon, the three of them finally approached the last marked place on the map:

canyon.

In fact, the terrain of this place is very simple. There are two hillsides in front of you. Yellow rocks are exposed on the steep hillside. The rocks are covered with ice and snow, and they are steep and rugged. There is a broken hole between the two hillsides. This broken hole is the "canyon" mentioned on the map.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the canyon, but were stunned.

Because at the entrance of this canyon, there were two stone sculptures on both sides as if intentional!

On the left is a human knight, which is about the same size as an ordinary person. This stone sculpture is extremely exquisite and the carving skills are master-level! The long sword in the knight's hand is still waving, the expression on his face is angry, his eyes wide open, his expression is vivid, almost to the extreme! The armor on his body is a little broken, but even every broken gap is extremely carved!

Gently wipe off a layer of floating snow on it, and even the patterns on the exposed knight's armor were so delicate and clear!!

Du Wei's face suddenly changed when he looked at this really realistic and excessive stone statue!

"This... seems not a stone carving! It's not a carved one! It's a real person, petrified!"

Soon, Du Wei and Dardanell looked at each other, and they both spit out a sentence from their mouths at the same time!

"Golden-eyed Python!"

Hussein looked gloomy. He suddenly drew out his sword, frowned and whispered: "Hey! I feel that annoying again! Something is secretly peeking at us!... It seems... it's here!"
