Chapter 344 missed
"This is?" Dempsey's complexion changed slightly, "That ice and snow monster just came?"
Not far in front of him were more than a dozen broken dome houses, and there were some fragmentary things that seemed to be fragments of corpses, scattered aside.
Colin looked serious, released the tri-detection ability, and then walked quickly to the second broken dome on the left, and pulled out a pale boy from it with a wave of his hand.
The boy was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a handsome face, and was wrapped in a thick off-white suede coat.
At this moment, his eyes are closed, his face is livid, his body is as stiff as a block of iron, and he seems to have lost his life.
However, the result of the three-energy detection was not the case. Colin pressed his palm to the boy's chest.
Healing necromantic light glows from the point of contact.
Under the power of witchcraft, the blue color on the young man's face disappeared rapidly visible to the naked eye, and his body also regained its softness.
After a while, the boy coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes.
"Terry..."
It seemed that he hadn't realized the situation yet, he subconsciously murmured sadly, his eyes filled with tears.
"Where did that monster go?" Colin asked in a deep voice.
The boy was in a trance for a while, and then he realized that he looked up at Colin with a confused expression on his face.
Colin frowned slightly, and repeated his question again.
"Quickly answer Lord Colin's question!" Dempsey on the side also urged.
"Master Dempsey..." Seeing that Dempsey finally came to his senses, the young man raised his finger to the right and said:
"The last thing I saw was that ice monster flying over there!"
"Dempsey, take care of him, I'll see if I can catch up with the ice monster."
Colin didn't delay any longer, simply gave Dempsey a few words, and then he stood up and chased in the direction the boy pointed.
The blizzard quickly engulfed Colin.
The worry on Dempsey's face flashed, and he turned to look at the boy, "Tell me about what exactly happened?"
At this moment, perhaps because the ice and snow monster had left for a while, villagers gradually came out from other dome houses not far away.
Holding lanterns and some stick tools in their hands, they gathered together and walked here, as if they were here to check the situation.
"It's that monster... That monster is coming again!" The boy gritted his teeth and said, with fear in his tone, but more hatred and anger.
"Just now?" Dempsey continued to ask.
"Yes, I came here about half an hour ago, and I left after the blizzard arrived." The boy answered while searching the surroundings with his eyes.
Dempsey was a little depressed. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that they just missed the ice and snow monster.
"Lord Dempsey... why are you here?"
At this time, the villagers in the distance had already approached, and the leading village head, Hunter, saw the figure in front of him clearly through the light blue light emitted by the lantern in his hand, and asked in surprise.
Dempsey briefly explained the situation.
"The wizard who helped us came? But now rushing into the blizzard to chase the monster?"
Hunter's mood fluctuated with Dempsey's words like a roller coaster ride, and he subconsciously worried:
"The monster has been gone for quite a while, and the blizzard is so violent, will anything happen to the new wizard?"
"Don't worry." Dempsey was also a little worried, but when he thought of the strength Colin showed when he flew over, he relaxed a little.
The wizard named Colin is really powerful. It can be said that he is the strongest first-order wizard he has ever seen!
Even if you can't catch up with the monster, you can at least return safely.
Hanter nodded slightly, looking at the raging snowstorm in the distance, but the worry between his brows never dissipated.
"Terry..." A suppressed sob suddenly came, breaking the silence at the moment.
The neglected teenager Robin is kneeling on the snow at this moment, holding a broken finger in both hands, tears streaming down his face.
Hanter looked at this scene, and reacted as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly turned around to greet the villagers who followed:
"Go and see if there are any living people in those houses!"
Under the influence of the ice and snow monster, the ice fragments that fell from the collapse of the dome house and the ground or the remaining walls were all stuck together again, as if they were originally one, and it was extremely difficult to separate.
The villagers could only keep tapping with a sledgehammer and a chisel, trying to open up a new way of life in the ruins of the sealed dome house.
Dempsey originally wanted to find a place to avoid the snow, but seeing this scene and thinking of what Colin said earlier, he hesitated for a moment, but he took the initiative to step forward and began to use witchcraft to help.
With the help of Dempsey, the ruins of the domes were quickly searched one by one, and finally three survivors were rescued again.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Dempsey." The village chief Hunter placed the three survivors who were basically unconscious, and turned to thank him.
Hunter was wearing a thick black cotton cap, and a wide gray scarf wrapped around his nose and mouth, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
But from the skin around the eyes, it can be seen that Hunter is young, in his thirties.
"Thank you, Lord Dempsey!" The villagers behind Hunter echoed, with a sincere tone.
It is important to know that even though they tried their best to rescue the thirty or so families who were attacked by ice and snow monsters last time, none of them survived in the end.
"You're welcome." Dempsey waved his hand, feeling a little sad in his heart.
However, the life of mortals is like this. At least Gubei Village still has the shelter of Neustadt City, and they can be rescued when encountering these monsters.
Like some ordinary kingdoms without wizards to enshrine, many times they don't even get rescue, they don't even have anyone to ask for help.
It is not uncommon for rivers of blood to be shed overnight and entire kingdoms to be destroyed.
The wind and snow were whistling, Hunter walked behind Robin who was kneeling and crying in the snow, and asked curiously after a moment of silence:
"Who is Terri?"
Robin wiped away tears, "Terry is my favorite wife."
Shua!
At this moment, a figure descended from the sky, and Dempsey shuddered and turned around quickly.
After seeing the appearance of the visitor clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said hello: "Lord Colin."
Robin raised his head reflexively, staring at Colin with expectation in his eyes.
"Yeah." Colin nodded slightly and sighed, "I couldn't find any trace of that monster."
The turbulent snowstorm covered everything up. Colin walked forward in the direction the boy pointed, but found nothing except the vast snowstorm.
You must know that without Dempsey, he released all his speed as a second-tier wizard, but he couldn't find anything.
It can only be said that this kind of weather is indeed the home field of the ice and snow monster.
After Colin's words fell, the expectation in Robin's eyes suddenly dimmed. He lowered his head, looked at the severed finger in his hand, and couldn't help crying again.
Many times, Robin thought that he was very strong, even if he died, he would never shed tears.
But now... he found that he just didn't encounter really sad things.
Crystal clear teardrops slowly fell down the tip of the nose, fell to the ground, and condensed into ice flowers in a blink of an eye.
"Robin, get up, don't disturb the two adults." The village chief Hunter came over and greeted Robin, "Go to Norman's house for a while, and after the blizzard is over, we will help you repair the broken houses."
After saying this, Hunter turned around and introduced himself respectfully to Colin:
"My honorable lord, thank you for coming to help me. I am the head of Gubei Village—Hante Gubei."
"Colin Leonard." Colin said briefly.
"The ice and snow monster just left, and it probably won't come back in a short time. Why don't you and Mr. Dempsey sit at my house for a while?" Hunter continued.
Colin nodded slightly, paused, pointed to Robin next to him and said, "Let him come along, I still have something to ask him."
"...Okay." Hunter nodded and looked at Robin.
The latter has just stood up at this moment, his face is pale, and his steps are a little vain.
Hanter looked at the severed finger in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh, "Terry... oh, sorry, Robin."
"Terry is your wife?" Colin suddenly thought of the words he heard when he fell, and asked subconsciously.
"Yes, my lord." Robin put away his severed finger and replied in a low voice.
"They just had their wedding last month, my lord." Hunter added silently, there was faint anger on his face, but more sadness and powerlessness.
Colin nodded silently, and couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart.
However, when he looked at Robin, he was a little surprised at how young he was.
Dempsey on the side seemed to sense the doubts in Colin's heart, and whispered:
"The average life expectancy of people in Gubei Village is only about 35 years old, so they get married relatively early."
Colin looked at the village chief Hunter next to him, and was no longer surprised by the appearance of the middle-aged man.
However, in Gubei Village, the average life expectancy is too low.
In this world of wizards, although the material standard of living for most people is generally not as developed as his previous life.
But due to the existence of supernatural factors such as mana, although the average life expectancy of ordinary people in this world is not as good as in the previous life, it is not much worse—if accidental death is not considered.
'Maybe it's because of the harsh environment in the extreme north...' Colin thought to himself, and followed the village chief without asking any further questions.
Limited by the harsh environment in the extreme north, it is extremely difficult to start a fire here.
Not only difficult to maintain, but also extremely difficult to find firewood.
"Forgive me, my lords. Due to the attack of the ice and snow monster, the lights outside every house have been withdrawn, so the road is a little dark." The village head walked ahead with a round lantern, and said apologetically. .
"It's okay." Colin waved his hand, and glanced at the blue lantern in the village head's hand.
Although there are few fire sources in Gubei Village, due to the existence of Lan Hanjing, they have no shortage of lighting here.
Going all the way, the three came to the dome house where the village head lived.
From the outside, the height of the dome house is generally within 1.5 meters, which is very low.
But when Colin bent over and walked in, he realized that there was something strange inside.
This dome house turned out to be half underground and half above ground, and when you walk in, you will find a sunken hall.
Moreover, the village head's house is actually two floors of arrogance!
The walls and roof are not made of pure ice, but have a taupe stone inner wall.
In general, the environment is much better than what Colin imagined.
In the living room on the first floor, the village head brought a precious stove and placed it in the middle, and invited Colin and others to sit down.
Colin sat on an unknown white fur-wrapped sofa and began to ask Robin for more details.
The boy took off the scarf at this time, revealing a slightly green face.
Stimulated by hatred, he racked his brains to think back, and tried his best to describe the scene he saw to the wizard in front of him as accurately as possible.
"...When that ice and snow monster came, it was about five meters high, like an uncertain "blizzard", with ice and snow spinning rapidly in its body.
Then when it landed, the body shrunk down again. At that time, it was only about three meters high, and the body also became solid, like an ice cube. "
'Able to fly, two different forms...' Colin nodded slightly, and asked again:
"How does it attack?"
This question seemed to touch on the painful memory of the young man, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, he took a deep breath, and said with some sobs:
"It will crash into houses, and it will chase people jokingly. When it gets tired of playing, it will freeze people into ice sculptures, and then turn into blizzards and crush them into ice slag."
Colin nodded silently, finally knowing why the girl named Terri only had one finger left.
"That ice and snow monster is just enjoying killing, it doesn't need to eat, and there is nothing to attract it in Gubei Village!"
Robin continued to add, with an angry tone.
After hearing this, Colin felt a little puzzled.
However, like this kind of monsters and monsters, there are indeed many existences who take pleasure in killing, and it is not surprising to think about it carefully.
"I see." Colin nodded with a calm expression.
Then staring at the young man in front of him, he paused and added:
"It won't last long."
About half a day later, the blizzard finally subsided, and the graceful aurora appeared in the distance.
Colin took advantage of this time to go out again to find a circle of ice and snow monsters.
But still nothing.
The land of the extreme north is so vast that even at his flying speed, it is impossible to search it all in a short time.
What's more, this place is also extremely dangerous.
The deeper you go, not only the mana is getting lower and lower, but also the filthy ravings in the air are gradually increasing. Even with Colin's resistance, he feels strange murmurs ringing in his ears.
So Colin finally chose to go home.
The lack of mana is not a good thing for him as a second-level wizard.
Even on the return journey, in order to save mana, Colin chose to sacrifice some flying speed and use flying witches.
This flying witch tool obtained earlier, after advancing to the second level, can no longer keep up with the progress.
But if you don't pursue speed, you can barely use it.
Just like that, Colin, who got nothing, returned to Gubei Village to stay temporarily.
Prepare to sit on the sidelines and wait for the ice and snow monster to throw itself into the trap, and then solve it with thunder.
