I like traveling the most

Chapter 663 Meeting General Dong Again

"X-Xiao Xiao Xiao...Xiao Lin, no, no, no, no... things are not going well."

"No, no, no... I didn't expect it to be so cold. My speech and speech are all slurred."

"Is this all the work of the snow elves? It's the same as the rumors."

There are too many snow elves on the plains.

And the number of them is unnatural. The dense snow elves almost fill the entire plain. If you touch them if you don't pay attention, it will bring a biting cold feeling.

Although the snow elf is harmless and will even die if touched with a little force, its existence will affect the surrounding environment. The temperature will be extremely unnaturally low, and the more there are, the lower the temperature will be.

At least Xiaolin started to feel uncomfortable.

"Then, is that the reason?...There were too many snow elves gathered, and they all bumped into each other."

Megumin looked at so many snow elves and said with trembling teeth.

The most important thing is.

The number is so large that it is impossible to reduce it.

General Winter will appear before he is defeated.

Thinking of this, several people's faces turned even paler.

"X-Xiao Lin, do we have to endure such cold weather while avoiding the snow elves and heading deeper?"

"I don't know what to do either."

Xiao Lin began to think hard.

Aqua wailed, "Ah, wait! My eyelashes are frostbitten! I said, think of a way! Xiaolin, Xiaolin?!"

She pushed Xiaolin's shoulders.

It's impossible to go forward like this, so let's go back to Axel first and then make plans.

"Phew, I'm finally back..."

The temperature rose again, and the frozen body gradually warmed up, as if the frozen blood was also flowing.

The temperature difference between there and here is too great!

Xiao Lin sighed and said, "It's colder than I thought. It can't be solved by just being patient."

"Huhu, right?"

Darkness' cheeks were slightly rosy, and she said with a look of enjoyment: "I quite like that kind of environment."

"But there's no point in Darkness enduring it alone. We have to find a place where the whole team can cross that snowfield."

What Megumin said makes sense.

Darkness, Xiaolin and Liu Zi, the three of them may have no problem traveling through the snowfield.

But Aqua, Megumin and Yuyu are not so good.

Xiao Lin originally planned to ask Liu Zi to help transport them there, but when he thought that it would be colder in the depths of the plain than outside, and they would only be frozen again if they trespassed, he gave up this plan.

"I need to think of a way..."

"Why don't we look for equipment that can withstand the cold...for example, how about the HeatRing?"

"HeatRing? What is that?"

"It is a kind of cold-resistant equipment made of minerals that store heat. It can form a thermal barrier around it, so it should be able to withstand even in such a snowstorm."

So that’s it.

The equipment Megumin mentioned sounds quite useful.

"Although I don't know what that is, I'd better go to Wiz's store first and ask if they sell HeatRing. If they sell it, it will be a big help."

"No!"

When Xiaolin suggested this, Aqua reluctantly said: "I still want to go back and take a shower early, otherwise I will freeze to death when I go back!"

"Indeed, my physical strength has almost reached its limit..."

"I'm ashamed to say it, I, I'm almost done..."

Megumin and Yuyou were embarrassed to say this.

Except for the thick-skinned Darkness, these people are all back-row characters with poor physical fitness and extremely poor cold tolerance.

"Ah, I got it, I got it. Then I'll go by myself. You guys go back to the mansion and prepare something to eat."

Xiaolin waved his hand and motioned for them to go back and take a shower while he went to see Wiz.

Then he took Liu Zi to Wiz's magic item shop.

Just opened the door.

Barnier said with a smile as if he had been waiting for a long time: "I knew you were almost here, adventurer man. What you want seems to be the HeatRing."

This guy is still able to see through everything as always.

"Needless to say, this is a great help. Is there such a thing?"

"Well... the inventory just happened to be exhausted. With the large number of snow elves appearing, the demand seems to be increasing."

Wiz said this with some embarrassment.

"Really?" Xiao Lin scratched his head in distress and complained slightly: "It's really unlucky. If this continues, I won't even be able to enter the snowfield... Is there any solution, whether it's equipment or props? Or simply let other people lend us their props..."

Just then.

The door of the magic item shop was opened again.

"Hey, Boss Barnier. Because I'm too busy, I just came here to watch all the shopping..."

The voice of someone who wanted to be beaten came.

Turning around, it was Daxter, a young gangster with dull blond hair.

He also saw Xiao Lin.

"Xiao Lin? What are you doing here?"

"What, it's Dust. I'm quite busy right now. I'll talk about it later."

Xiao Lin didn't want to talk to him.

Because this guy is so annoying, always pestering you, and even asking you to get to the bottom of something.

For example now——

"Why is that? You look like you don't want to see me. I haven't caused you any trouble recently, have I? If you have any difficulties, just come to me to discuss it."

"Noisy customers, get out of here! If you disturb my business, I will ask you to leave immediately. Be careful, adventurer."

"Of course. You know I can't disturb Boss Vanir, right?"

I don't know what's wrong with Dust. He actually called Boss Vanir. Maybe he was shocked before.

But Vanir was a little unhappy.

"This man, to be honest, has a real problem with his personality."

Dust is the most difficult person for Vanir. After all, he came up to him shamelessly, looking like he was not afraid of wearing shoes when he was barefoot. You can't feel any emotions from him.

"So, what are you talking about?"

Dust doesn't intervene according to the atmosphere.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Kobayashi told him his troubles.

Dust nodded slightly.

"Yeah, to put it simply, because we need to move in the snowy area, we need HeatRing."

"But it's out of stock now..."

Wiz sighed.

Kobayashi replied, "So, I'm worried about what to do now."

"I see... Oh?! I just thought of a good idea!" Dust's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly, "That is to buy HeatRing in other cities. If you sell it in this city, won't it be sold at a good price?!"

"Who is talking to you about making a lot of money!"

Kobayashi couldn't help but complain.

Baniel praised slightly, "You are planning to resell it, isn't it courageous? I will not leave any room for business rivals."

"Just kidding! Just kidding! It can't be serious!" Dust confirmed so, but found that Banir's expression was slightly serious.

No, it is serious.

Dust quickly changed the subject and said, "So, Kobayashi's problem is the solution for cold-proof clothing, right? If you want a HeatRing, you can only go to another city. Well, cold-proof solution, cold-proof solution... Well, as long as it can resist the cold... Isn't it okay to surround it with salamanders?"

"What a great idea! Please make sure to confirm the practicality before making suggestions! Thank you!"

Banir immediately mocked his idiocy.

"Ignore his nonsense for now - what, what! Here, it's actually a HeatRing!"

It took out a bracelet-like thing from under the table.

Kobayashi's eyes lit up.

"Oh oh? Do you have it?!"

"--A cheap product that is backward compatible. Although the performance is unreliable, it's better than nothing, right? So, do you want to buy it?"

"Hey...!"

Looking at Vanir who was sure of himself, Kobayashi really wanted to punch it in the hateful face, but there was no way...

"Is this the only way?"

Grabbed the bracelet.

"Thank you for your review, 50,000 Eris!"

"One 10,000 Eris... Never mind, it's pretty cheap."

Kobayashi still bought it.

————

Salamander.

That being said, it's neither an elf nor a ferocious monster. It's said to be named after the elf fire dragon, but it's a very common reptile in this world.

Its characteristic is that it releases heat from its body.

"Look! It's a salamander! How about it? Can it be used as cold-proof equipment?"

Meihui held a small fire dragon in her hand.

Darkness pondered and said, "It's true that salamanders can also generate heat, but I don't think it's wise to do so."

"No matter how you think about it, it's amazing to be able to catch a wild salamander. Seeing it up close like this, it's unexpectedly cute. It always feels close to people." Meihui smiled and played with the creature in her hand.

And it also made a cute cry.

"Reject, reject! Send it back to where it came from!"

Kobayashi distributed the bracelets he bought to them.

"I bought this at Wiz's shop, so let's use this."

"HeatRing, you have it!?"

"No, it's a HotRing, it's getting warmer."

As he explained, the bracelet in his hand began to emit heat, and the coldness in his body was dispelled a lot.

...No.

After feeling the temperature, Aqua said with disdain: "I always feel that it is a kind of warmth that is not easy to detect..."

"The temperature of human skin."

"By the way, isn't this a fake? You've been deceived. So you should use the Salamander?"

"Reject!"

Megumin's words were a bit hurtful, but Kobayashi would rather use this than something as dangerous as the Salamander.

"Don't complain, it's better than nothing. If you don't want your eyelashes to be frozen again, just use this."

Ignoring the complaints of several people.

Kobayashi looked at the depths of the snowfield and said: "Well, let's go to the depths of the snowfield. Don't provoke the snow elves."

One of the reasons for not using the Salamander.

It was because the snow elves were too fragile. A little damage would kill them. If they were killed in large numbers by mistake, General Winter would come.

Everyone moved forward cautiously.

But——

“There are too many of them! No matter where we go, there are snow elves. How many are there?”

“It’s still the same after walking for a while. The whole snowfield should be like this…”

To be honest, they couldn’t move forward.

“Waaaaa!”

Huihui suddenly screamed.

Darkness was stunned for a moment and then said, "Well, the snow elf that flew over got into Megumin's back."

"Stop explaining calmly and help me take it out quickly!" Megumin shivered.

Darkness helped her take out the snow elf.

"I'm talking about Xiao Lin."

"What's wrong Aqua, do you still want to complain about the bracelet?"

"It's not that. I have endured the bracelet. I want to say, look over there."

"That?...What is that?"

Following the direction of her finger, Xiao Lin saw a very unnatural landscape on the white snowfield.

It was piled up into a wall, like dough.

"...That's the snow elf, right?"

"It's the snow elf."

Everyone twitched their lips.

Darkness said curiously: "But this is the first time I have seen them so densely. Even if they appear in large numbers, it would be too strange."

It was so dense that it blocked the way forward.

What can we do?

"...rush over."

"Xiaolin, are you serious?! With so many snow elves gathered, the temperature must have dropped a lot!"

"If we take a detour now, we may not be able to find a safe way. Wouldn't it be better to rush over while we still have enough energy?"

Xiao Lin retorted.

Recognition came quickly.

Megumin nodded and said: "That makes sense. Because the snow elves themselves are not dangerous, as long as you are careful not to get frostbite."

"Is it really okay? I have a bad feeling." Aqua said timidly.

"Okay, let's go quickly!"

Xiao Lin didn't want to waste any more time and shouted to several people: "If you don't want to be frozen, it's better to cross the snowfield as soon as possible."

But I just came into contact with the snow elves.

The biting cold couldn't help but penetrate into the body.

Aqua grinned and said, "Wow! Xiaolin, it's really cold!"

"There will be such a big difference when it is densely packed..."

Xiao Lin gritted his teeth.

"Hey, Darkness, you're lagging behind!"

"Uh! Sorry, I got caught in the snow."

Darkness said this apologetically.

Was it affected by the snow because the equipment was too heavy?

It’s not a matter of seconds to be so far behind.

"X-Xiao Lin..."

"What's wrong Aqua? At this time, if you have time to complain, you might as well leave as soon as possible."

"It can't be done! Because of that shadow...!"

"Shadow? What's so scary about shadow-"

Before Xiao Lin could finish speaking, he saw a tall figure wearing armor who looked like the last samurai appeared in front of him.

“O-it’s appeared ah ah————”

Aqua yelled in panic.

"Damn it! Liu Zi, please!"

"Yes, Master Xiaolin."

At Xiao Lin's order, Liu Zi used the imaginary number switch to pause time, and quickly left the place with a few people.

This is his back-up plan!

Now that they can't defeat General Dong, can't they escape?

With Liu Zi, it’s still no problem!

"H-huh...A-is it safe?"

"D-probably yes."

"Scared to death...!"

Several people took a breather for the rest of their lives.

Although they did not fight General Dong, the strong sense of oppression that came with the opponent's appearance made several people unable to move at all.
