Chapter 812 Snowstorm
, icy air, desolate land.
And there are dangers that may appear from around you at any time.
For the members of the expedition, the next journey is undoubtedly very dangerous, but it is also a choice they make when facing challenges.
Maybe it was because Giovanni was the first to stand up and set an example.
It may also be that everyone still has the courage to challenge difficulties and dangers.
Anyway -
this journey will continue.
And no one chose to quit midway.
So just like responding to their choice, less than a day passed before the real challenge arrived in front of them.
--Snowing.
—and a blizzard accompanied by a hurricane.
The expedition team, which had just climbed over the hillside, was walking on a piece of frozen ice.
At this moment, facing the sudden weather change, we immediately fell into a very difficult situation.
The cold wind blows like a knife on the exposed skin, and the ice under the feet can cause people to fall if they are not careful. Even if the expedition team members prepared non-slip shoes, in this case, they soon became no longer so reliable due to the extreme weather of ice and snow.
Not to mention the body heat that is constantly being taken away by this freezing weather.
The most direct sensory experience is the direct conflict between the lowered body temperature and the impatient heart.
"..."
Facing the wind and snow, we marched hard for half an hour.
Seeing that the blizzard was still growing in momentum, Bettina in the team finally couldn't help shouting:
"Giovanni, we need to camp where we are!"
"It's really irrational to go forward in this kind of weather. !"
Bettina's suggestion was very reasonable. In this case, the expedition team members must conserve their physical strength to deal with possible troubles later.
"..."
When Giovanni, who was walking at the front of the team, heard this shouting, he subconsciously raised his head and looked into the distance despite the wind and snow - the white snowflakes blew straight towards his face, and the sky and the earth in the distance were also blurred. So true.
The wind and snow that disrupted his vision made it almost impossible for him to observe anything of value.
"Yavik, gather all the big-horned deer here!"
"First use camp cloth to serve as a fence, and then prepare the tent."
Yavik, who was at the front of the team, immediately responded:
"I know!"
"... "
Soon, the team stopped advancing and prepared to rest in place.
However, the subsequent work of setting up the camp in the wind and snow went surprisingly smoothly.
After all, Ronald and Costart were on the team.
For ordinary people facing such wind and snow, it would probably take a lot of effort just to set up surrounding tents. However, Ronald and the two stood in the wind and snow, not affected by the weather at all. Any task put in your hands will be performed as easily as if you were practicing indoors.
So it didn't take too long.
A temporary camp that can shelter the expedition team from the wind and snow is easily established.
While everyone gathered around to light a fire to keep warm, they naturally couldn't help but think about what happened when they set up the camp just now.
Someone immediately couldn't help but sigh:
"Mr. Ronald, are all the magicians on the mysterious side as powerful as you two?"
Ronald smiled and shook his head:
"Don't worry, it's not as good as you think. Exaggeration."
"Except for some guys who specialize in using magic to strengthen their bodies, most people's physical fitness is no different from ordinary people. Kostat and I are special cases among special cases." The questioner's expression changed after hearing this answer
. Suddenly he felt relieved:
"So that's it..."
Several people in the team continued to talk, while someone boiled water and prepared food.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Giovanni, the leader of the expedition, couldn't help his curiosity and asked Ronald about his question:
"Speaking of which..."
"Mr. Ronald, like When you magicians encounter such extreme weather, do you have any better ways to deal with it?"
Ronald heard the meaning of Giovanni's tone, and his eyes immediately turned to Costat beside him. .
His spells are basically the type used in battle.
A complete blank that can protect people's safety for a long time.
In order for the expedition team to travel more safely and conveniently, the only person they can turn to is the maid beside them: "
Costat, do you have any good ideas?"
Although this was Ronald's request, Faced with something beyond the scope of his abilities, Costart could only shake his head regretfully:
"Sir, I'm sorry-"
"The spell with the longest duration among my abilities cannot cope with such all-weather operations. As for Talking about weather-changing spells... In this extreme local climate, the effect is unlikely to last long."
After receiving such a response, Ronald could only shrug at Giovanni regretfully:
"Probably. Like this."
"Apart from the camp and safety protection, we can't provide any additional help moving forward." "
No, no, no!" Faced with Ronald's apology, Giovanni immediately waved his hands, "I I don't mean that. In fact, I am very satisfied to get such help when setting up the camp." "
When I went on expeditions in the past, I never encountered such conditions."
Bang Dang -
at this time, prepare People who eat food have numb palms because of the cold weather. He didn't hold the kettle and let the water spill out. The flame that had just risen was immediately wet.
"Sorry, I'm really sorry!"
"It's too cold, I, my hands are a little unsteady, so I started the fire."
This was originally just a small episode.
It won't cause any changes.
But seeing the expedition members lighting a fire, Ronald suddenly had an idea.
"Wait a minute...I suddenly remembered something!"
Realizing this, Ronald immediately stood up from the crowd, turned around and walked out of the tent to the big horned deer.
These gentle creatures cling to each other in the wind and snow to maintain their own temperature. Because they are extremely cold-tolerant animals, they have no problem in this kind of weather.
After Ronald was lifted from the ban.
One even shook its head at him.
"So good——"
Ronald gently touched the big horned deer's head, and then came to the one carrying the luggage.
Among the supplies he carried with him, Ronald found a sealed box and opened it directly despite the wind and snow.
Phew—
in an instant, light spread all around.
The appearance of the flames of Juehai's lantern directly made the entire camp area and even further locations become brightly lit. And under the light that can sting the skin, even the powerful wind and snow from the outside cannot penetrate at all.
"..."
He looked at the lantern in his hand that was constantly emitting light.
Ronald couldn't help but smile:
"I really didn't expect that this thing would be useful in the snow besides being in the Nameless Sea?"
