Chapter 5 Help me, I don't want to die!

"Nia is missing, she left this"

Early in the morning, several acquaintances hurried to find the village head's mother-in-law and handed a letter to her.

Opening the envelope, the words inside were crooked, and it looked like it was written impromptu under the agitation of the mood.

"Stupid child." The village head mother-in-law sighed, and at the same time blamed herself for not noticing the girl's psychological changes in time.

"Everyone, gather the people in the village and prepare to search and rescue in the snow mountain!"

The mother-in-law gave the order, and the children ran to inform the adults in the village.

"Nia's parents are both professional hunters, and they never came back after going to the mainland. The reason why she always dreamed of becoming a professional hunter is to go to the mainland to find her parents."

"Your progress speed, now it seems, is too much stimulation to her."

As if talking to herself, the village head mother-in-law said with her head down.

Outside the house, the ancient pagoda holding a bone knife leaned against the outer wall of the house, looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and didn't know if she heard her mother-in-law's words.

"Guta, since you came back that time, it's like a different person."

"It doesn't matter if you lose your memory, or change someone, but I always believe in one thing..." The village head mother-in-law looked at the roof and sighed in relief.

"You've always been a very good...very good kid."

Guta, who knew that her mother-in-law already knew everything, could no longer pretend that nothing had happened, but stood at the door and bowed deeply.

"Nia will be fine, as a member of the village, I assure you."

After all, under the gratifying gaze of the mother-in-law, Guta carried the bone knife and headed towards the snow-capped mountains.

……

Towards the end of the year, the blizzard became more and more terrifying.

Compared with the first time when I was trapped in the snow field, this time, not to mention the boots within a few meters, even the boots that are close at hand are not very real.

It was snowing too much.

Struggling forward in a vast white forest, Guta wiped the snow from the goggles, took out the pointer in his pocket, and determined the next position.

Fortunately, I didn't go astray, and I was always heading north.

After about another hour, he finally saw the shadow of the snow mountain.

Carefully walking up the winding and uneven mountain road, and having to climb up a section with the help of nail cones and other tools from time to time, the ancient pagoda obviously felt the decline in physical strength.

"I can't go on like this anymore, I have to take a break, otherwise I might get into trouble before I find Nia."

Halfway up the mountain, Guta found a small half-abandoned cave, and got into it to avoid the wind and snow.

He grabbed a ball of snow, put it into the stone bowl he carried with him, and slowly crushed it. When the snow almost melted, he sprinkled large pieces of brown-black powder into it.

This is the crushed powder of Kuta fruit, which can be made into Kuta tea, which is the kind of drink like hot cocoa I drank last time.

Of course, there seemed to be other things in the cup that Nia made that day, and the taste was a little different. After I rescued her, I'll ask.

Gu Ta thought so, but kept stirring the liquid in the stone bowl back and forth with his hands.

Soon, a cup of simple Kuta tea, which is similar in color to coffee and has almost the same taste, is completed.

Although there is no way to light a fire due to the poor conditions, drinking some iced coffee once in a while is a different kind of flavor, isn't it?

Drinking the cold Kuta tea comfortably, Guta frowned as he watched the blizzard outside the cave.

This year's snowstorm is too abnormal. According to the village chief's mother-in-law, there has never been such a bad snowstorm in the past 30 years.

After recovering a little bit of strength, seeing that the snow outside showed no signs of weakening, Guta put his bags on his back, walked out of the cave, and climbed up again.

……

The mountain wind was harsh, and the stone walls were slippery. The ancient pagoda found a half way, and finally found a way up from a collapsed rock pile.

He had not been in this world for too long, and he didn't know many shortcuts for mountain climbing, so he climbed quite strenuously along the way.

"Damn it, here we go again."

Hearing the sound of rustling footsteps, Guta didn't even think about it, and directly blocked the bone knife behind him.

The stones hit one after another were bounced off by the bone knife and fell down the cliff without making a sound.

Behind him, two snow-white lion-like monsters appeared at some point.

They are snow lions.

Although they are not as tall as the Snow Lion King, they are nearly two meters tall, and ordinary villagers are not even their opponents one-on-one.

Along the way, the two snow lions kept attacking themselves with stones and ice, and it didn't look like they were hunting for prey.

Seeing their grinning, gloating expressions, I'm afraid it's just to watch themselves fall off the cliff.

"Don't throw stones, attack!" Guta cursed, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it at the snow lion.

It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have the talent for throwing, and he misses it from three meters away.

Now, the two snow lions laughed even harder, dancing and dancing on the cliff.

"Bitch!" Vigorously making an internationally accepted hand gesture, Guta simply ignored them and continued climbing.

During this period, he was hit by these snow lions again.

But there is no way, although I am very angry, I can only endure it.

When I get to the ground, I'll kill you all!

Guta thought bitterly, and kept stroking the bone knife on his back.

……

On a snowy field with strange rocks, a blood-soaked girl ran away desperately.

Suddenly, the snow beside her exploded, and a pair of animal paws covered with white fur grabbed her ankles.

The bow and crossbow she was carrying turned instantly, and the girl aimed an arrow at the snow lion emerging from the snow.

The arrow shot from the snow lion's eye socket, directly piercing through its head.

Seeing is not alive.

The person holding the bow and crossbow was Niya who entered the mountain alone.

As far as reserve hunters go, she's been good enough.

But unfortunately, for now, it is still not enough.

The sound of heavy objects being thrown through the air suddenly sounded, and a head-sized stone flew out from one direction, hitting the girl's back heavily.

Severe pain hit her body, and Nia fell to the snow in pain, curling up.

During the previous battle with the snow lion group, she suffered too many injuries, lost a lot of blood, and was a little bit exhausted.

Now, after being hit like this again, I can't stand up anymore.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, a huge figure close to [-] meters in size walked slowly.

His pale hair, like a lion's mane, danced in the cold wind around his neck.

On the ferocious orangutan-like face, huge fangs protruded from the mouth.

Its name - Snow Lion King!

Different from the Snow Lion King that Guta had hunted before, which failed in the competition, the one in front of him was obviously bigger and retained the pair of extremely exaggerated sharp teeth that were the symbol of the king.

With a strange cry, the Snow Lion King approached triumphantly, stepping on the top of Nia's head with a broad foot.

The huge force forced the girl's face to be deeply embedded in the snow layer.

Constantly humiliating the prey before it dies is an inherent bad habit of the snow lion race.

Ah, if I hadn't come here on my own way, wouldn't all of this have happened?

Nia, Nia, what are you thinking?do such a stupid thing~

Should I say that I deserve it?

Everyone in the village, I'm sorry...

No more, look for me again...

The girl who was crushed in the snow gradually lost consciousness due to prolonged suffocation.

Tears kept falling, but melted directly in the icy snow close at hand.

I really still...

I don't want to die.

At the end of her life, for some unknown reason, the girl shouted with all her might:

"Anyone is fine, please help me! I don't want to die!"

"Okay."

As if hallucinating, or not, the girl heard an unusually familiar voice.

But soon, she knew that all of this was not a hallucination before her death.

"Could you please, move the dirty foot off her head?"

On the snowy field, the boy was carrying a bone knife, quietly looking at the Snow Lion King not far away.

Behind him, the corpses of two snow lions fell to the ground, their necks were completely torn apart by a rough slash.

……

Chapter 6 You give Luda

【Slash LV1】

This is the skill that Guta suddenly generated after killing two snow lions with a bone knife.

It seems that even if you don't eat prey, you can get skills simply by exercising yourself.

It is worth mentioning that after the skill is generated, the slashing level, which was originally fluctuating, can be stabilized above a certain level in an instant.

This can also be regarded as an invisible benefit of systematization.

The Snow Lion King glanced at the corpses of his clan behind the ancient pagoda, roared angrily, no longer cared about the girl on the ground, and rushed directly towards him.

During the sprint, the Snow Lion King kicked up the snow and ice, completely blocking the vision of both sides.

With a roar, a huge fist pierced Guta's head from one side.

"Who will hit this kind of move?"

Crouching down and dodging effortlessly, Guta directly pushed the weapon in his hand.

The bone knife cut through the snow curtain and pierced directly into the Snow Lion King's abdomen.

In just a split second, he came close to the monster.

Angrily punching again, Guta pulled out the bone knife and placed it across his chest, but was still blown away by the residual force of the shock.

Coincidentally, the place where he fell happened to be beside Nia.

"Hey, are you still alive?" Guta stood up slowly with a bone knife as he wiped away the snow all over his head and face.

"Guta, why...why are you here?" The girl looked at him with a complicated expression, holding her explosive crossbow tightly with both hands.

"Why do you feel so stupid today, just like me last time, your brain was frozen?"

Guta looked confused, and glanced at Nia beside him.

Nia blushed, and quickly realized that she said something stupid.

After I left, the village chief's mother-in-law must have mobilized everyone to look for me.

With Guta's current strength, he must also be a member of the search and rescue team.

"I'm sorry, Guta." The girl said suddenly, with a guilty expression on her face.

"It's okay, I haven't repaid your kindness last time." Guta shook his head, but his eyes never moved away from the Snow Lion King opposite him for a moment.

"Be careful, it's coming again!"
