I like traveling the most

Chapter 665 The Taste of Freedom

"Hey... Yu Jian, where is the Snow Elf King you mentioned? I've walked a lot and haven't found it at all."

Xiao Lin complained slightly.

Because Yu Jianxiangye said that the Snow Elf King had a permanent crystal in his body, he followed him. However, for such a long time, there were only snow mountains, and there was no shadow of the Snow Elf at all, let alone the Snow Elf King.

"If you haven't found it after searching for so long, is it possible that the Snow Elf King is no longer here...?"

Darkness guessed.

"That is impossible." Yujian Xiangye said firmly: "If the Snow Elf King is no longer there, there will be no explanation for the large number of Snow Elfs appearing."

"...But it seems like there's no way around here."

Megumin asked.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Lin was also slightly startled when he heard what she said.

The front of the field of vision has been blocked by snow-capped mountains. Let alone the way forward, not even the wind and sand can blow in.

"...Well, no matter how hard I look, I can't find a way forward."

"Is it possible there was a fork in the road?"

"No, right? In a place like this where there is only ice, it's impossible for everyone to miss it. Besides, my eyes are not for decoration."

It's covered in ice and snow.

In order to find a way forward, Xiaolin's five-sighted omnipotence has been quietly turned on, but nothing similar to the route has appeared.

"How is that possible? The king is definitely still here. Where did he go...?"

Mitsurugi Kyouya also had a confused expression.

Looking around, I didn't see anything like the Snow Elf King. Could it have been eliminated by someone as Darkness said?

"I-I mean Xiao Lin."

At this time, Aqua tugged at his clothes and shivered: "If you can't find the king, why don't you go back outside first? It's so cold in this area, I'm almost freezing..."

"...Our physical strength is almost reaching its limit."

Xiao Lin sighed slightly.

They are not in advanced professions like Mitsurugi Kyouya, and have super strong physiques to be able to stay here. It's okay for Kobayashi, Ryuji, and Darkness, but Aqua, Megumin, and Yunyun will definitely not be able to bear it.

He looked at the Salamander in Megumin's arms.

"It has also become weak. It's better to go back and recuperate first."

"Tsk. Although it's very frustrating to have come here and then go back, but if Aqua-sama wishes, there's nothing we can do about it..."

"Then withdraw first. I want to go back before dark, so as soon as possible..."

Before Xiao Lin could finish speaking, he saw something strange.

"...Huh?"

"What's wrong? Go back to your place quickly and have something hot to eat."

"...Where is the exit?"

Aqua, who looked anxious just now, was stunned after hearing what Xiaolin said.

"Isn't it okay to leave this kind of thing from the same place it came in?"

She said that as a matter of course.

Xiao Lin kept raising his eyebrows, "That's where you came in. Wasn't that where you were just now?"

"Over there...ah?"

"No! The road we just walked is blocked!"

"What? The entrance disappeared?!"

Several people panicked instantly.

Aqua yelled: "Xiao Lin, aren't your eyes very powerful? Why can't you find a way out!"

"My eyes can't see anything, and I was only paying attention to the road ahead!" Xiao Lin twisted her face.

"etc."

After observing carefully, Megumin said: "It's not that there is no road, it should be said that a wall has appeared, and it is also a strange wall."

Several people got together.

This wall looks strange and very unnatural. It’s not so much a wall as it is—

"It's white and cold, it looks like snow...and soft."

Xiaolin touched the wall.

"A soft wall? What is that?"

Aqua was a little strange.

"...No, it's not. Take a closer look." Yu Jianxiangye also came up. After touching the wall carefully and even picking off a soft piece of the wall, he said: "This wall is not a wall. It’s just that it’s so big that it looks like it’s blocking the road while we’re exploring here.”

"The road is blocked... Hey, hey, is this...!"

Aqua had a hint of panic in her eyes.

Everyone quickly stepped back and turned to look at the huge wall.

"Hmm————"

It made a cheerful cry.

"It's too, too big!"

This isn't a wall at all, it's a snow elf!

Aqua shouted in panic: "Say, Xiaolin! Is this a snow elf? Although it's big, it must be right!"

"Could this be the king of the snow elves...!?"

Megumin also screamed.

Yu Jian Xiangye nodded and said: "Ah, it is said that every ten years, when the snow elves gather together, such a large individual will be produced - the big snow elves. They will not be hostile to humans, but have a personality It’s quite approachable, but…”

"Even if there is no hostility, it's troublesome that the way back is blocked. I have to find a way to get it out of the way...Huh? Oh oh oh!"

Before Darkness could finish speaking, a flash of white snow came into view.

The Snow Elf King was on top of her.

“It’s so uncomfortable… What a heavy pressure… I can’t bear it! Hehe!”

The perverted female knight said this, but her face showed the opposite.

“Ah! Darkness is being crushed by the snow elf!”

“Like this, they are actively playing around without realizing their huge bodies, so humans are seriously injured.”

“Is it time to calm down and explain now?! Hurry up and pull Darkness out from under the snow elf!”

Kobayashi couldn’t hold it anymore.

He shouted at Mitsurugi Hibiki and ran over to rescue Darkness.

“Please, please don’t worry about me… Ha… Ha!”

She was a little too excited.

It took a lot of effort for several people to rescue Darkness.

“Uh! Ha… Ha… It’s amazing, Kobayashi! In a little while, she will be crushed by that huge body…!”

“Why are you so excited?”

She seemed to be fantasizing about something.

Huihui also complained: "It's still the same as usual."

"But it's really a headache. If we don't move the snow elf away, we can't leave here. And if we want to get the permanent ice crystal, we must defeat the snow elf." Mitsurugi Hibiki looked at it with some embarrassment.

"Even if you say that, facing such a big guy, what should we do...ah, move...!"

Kobayashi pushed hard.

But the size of this snow elf is too huge. No matter how hard he pushed, it didn't move at all.

"...Damn it! I can't move it no matter how hard I push! Hey, everyone, don't stand there stupidly, come and help!"

"I understand. Then use the explosion magic I just learned again to make it disappear without a trace!"

Huihui raised the magic wand in her hand.

"Wait for me! We will disappear together, and the permanent crystal will be blown away! So reject, reject!" Darkness shouted hurriedly.

Mitsurugi Hibiki frowned slightly.

"But, since we can't move, we can only defeat it, right? Isn't that the original purpose?"

"That..."

Kobayashi said with a little worry: "The current situation is impossible. Even if it is a snow elf, it is too dangerous to fight such a big guy. And the opponent is different from us. It won't become weak because of the cold, right? At least we have to find a weakness..."

"But Kobayashi, we are almost at the limit of our physical strength, and there is not much time left."

Darkness said.

She said a very bad news.

Mikoto Yui pursed his lips and said: "Although I don't know if we can defeat it with the level down, I think we should fight before it's too late."

"Tsk! Even if it's a mess, we can only fight!"

Kobayashi gritted his teeth.

"Ryuu, please..."

"I say, Kobayashi, look over here~"

Aqua suddenly spoke.

Kobayashi said to her unhappily, "What's wrong, Aqua? I'm busy now. If you have anything to say, let's talk later!"

"What? Isn't your statement too much for the goddess? I finally found a way to make the snow elves inside the snow elves fly out. I wanted to tell you, Kobayashi."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you when I get back... What did you say just now?"

"I told you that the snow elves will fly out. You have to roast the snow elves with flames... You can watch. It's decided that you are the one, Salamander!"

As she said that, Aqua put the Salamander on the ground and let it deal with the Snow Elf King.

"Aqua, I have become close to the Salamander without realizing it..."

"Look, if you roast the surface of the Snow Elf like this... Ah, it's coming out!"

The super small Salamander will definitely be crushed to death by the huge Snow Elf King. But unexpectedly, the Salamander just approached the Snow Elf King and continued to emit heat. It seemed to melt, and a large number of Snow Elfs floated out of its body.

"Split, split...?!"

"See, I was right!"

Aqua said proudly.

Mitsurugi Hibiki immediately flattered him: "I should say that I am surprised that there are Snow Elfs among the Big Snow Elfs. You are worthy of being Aqua-sama for being able to see through this!"

"The small fish become huge when they are together. I seem to have seen this kind of thing somewhere."

Kobayashi touched his chin.

Aqua smiled and said: "When the Snow Elf came out, the sound was quite nice. Come on, Salamander, keep going!"

"Hiss!"

The Salamander chirped and tried harder.

Xiaolin also sighed and said, "It's just right. Let's use the fire lizard to warm up. If the snow elves are a collective, the snow elves should become weaker as they continue to split their bodies."

"I see, that's a good idea."

"I understand! Then release your hellfire, Mr. Mo!"

Hui Hui shouted excitedly.

"Have you given it such a strange name?"

Xiaolin pulled the corner of his mouth.

Then the fire lizard continued to burn, and the size of the snow elves continued to shrink. It seems that the effect is quite good.

"Good, Xiaolin, it seems that the effect is good!"

"Humph, thank me for bringing the fire lizard!"

Hui Hui raised her head to take credit.

Xiao Lin praised and said to everyone: "If we want to hit him, we can only take advantage of the snow elf's weakness now! Come on, everyone!"

"Oh!" X5

Several people shouted.

The snow elf has no attack power. It has no other means of attack except using its large size to crush people. However, it will be defeated by the salamander, so everyone kept pulling and restraining them. After two hours of hard work, the snow elf had no attack power. , finally solved it.

...No, they escaped into ordinary snow elves.

"Big, big snow elves, defeat..."

Megumin breathed out.

Darkness said thankfully: "Although it is not aggressive, its quality is enough to make it a difficult opponent..."

"Probably she ran out of power and turned back into an ordinary snow elf. At that size, if she didn't disappear, she could enjoy ice-cold bubble wine for many years." Aqua fantasized.

"I can't carry it anymore. Can you take it back?"

Xiao Lin curled his lips.

Haha...

In short, we avoided the tragic ending of freezing to death because the entrance and exit were blocked.

"after……"

"That's it. Found where the snow elves split."

Yu Jian Xiangye held a piece of transparent ice crystal in his hand. It looked no different from the ice on the roadside, and even the magic power could not be sensed.

"Is this the rumored permanent thing?"

"It's the Eternal Crystal Aqua. It's the material that the researcher wanted. In this way, we have all the materials needed to pardon Xiaolin."

Yu Jian Xiangye said this to him with a smile.

Huihui also congratulated: "That's great, Xiaolin. I can finally walk out struttingly."

"Ah, I finally don't have to be looked down upon anymore... It's quite uncomfortable to be whispered to on the street, and I can still hear it clearly. Has Sato-kun been under this kind of pressure before? It's really hard for him." Xiaolin Weiwei complained.

"Xiao Lin, you've been working hard too."

Yu Jian Xiangye patted his shoulder sympathetically.

Aqua cheered: "Then let's go back this time. I really want to eat luxurious crab pot today!"

"That's right, I just want to eat it too! In order to celebrate Xiaolin's liberation, let Xiaolin pay for it!" Huihui's tone became much lighter.

"You want me to buy it... Well, you can buy it, but why do you want me to treat you when you are celebrating? Didn't you agree that Darkness would buy it for you?"

"Are you staring at my wallet, Xiaolin! When did you start acting like a soft-boiled man... Isn't this great!"

Darkness said this with a blushing face.

Aqua urged: "Okay, go back quickly! My crabs are still waiting for me!"

"I know, I know. After I report to Uncle Lundberg and the others, I will consider the treat." Xiao Lin also said with a smile.

All in all, he felt relaxed.

Afterwards, I will buy back the mortgaged equipment and continue to upgrade my level, becoming as strong as usual...

This is the taste of freedom!
