Dawn of the Grey Tower

When it was almost noon the next day, an inconspicuous cliff on Longji Mountain suddenly cracked.綥

From the breach in the mountain, two figures in gray robes drilled out. One of them had only one arm, and the other arm was fitted with some kind of weird artificial limb made of metal, rock and ice.

The two waved the ice picks one after the other and began to move on the almost vertical cliff. The two were naturally Cheese and Cursed Crow. Regarding the material of the prosthetic crow, there is actually nothing to do. The original alchemy dice can indeed transform the original elements into ideal materials, but after thinking about it for a while, Cheese feels that there is no material that can exist in this mountain. The long-standing rocks and ice blocks are more suitable here, so after determining the stability of the structure, the original appearance of the material is preserved to the greatest extent.

Such an approach might still please this mountain.

Pleasing the mountain sounds like nonsense. The mountain has no consciousness. Even if it does, it is the common consciousness of every rock and sand that makes up the entire mountain. How can we talk about pleasing?

But according to the traditions and legends of the dwarves, a huge mountain range like Longji Mountain will produce a hazy thought that is called consciousness instead of consciousness, meaningless but meaningful, and this kind of thought will be displayed in some form. It likes and dislikes, helping or hurting those who move in this mountain range.

Therefore, whenever the dwarves start to build towns or dig mines in the mountains, they will spend a lot of time asking the mountains if they are willing to become their home with complicated rituals. These methods also include some dwarves who are similar to priests. Communicate with the mountain and persuade it to accept the arrival of the dwarves.

In any case, the dwarves believed in this tradition very much, and as the race that had the deepest relationship with the mountains and the land, their ideas were very useful for mages.綥

Perhaps the cheese's pleasing strategy has worked, or perhaps it's just the improved climbing equipment that has made great progress. No one needs to remind them, both of them can notice that today's progress and smoothness are far better than the first day. This is also a very normal thing. From the material point of view, Cheese spent a lot of time improving the equipment; The way of cooperation with each other has become familiar. Gray robes not only have powerful spellcasting abilities, but also their ability to learn and adapt is unmatched.

It took only half of the time, and the climbing progress of the two had exceeded the whole day yesterday, and it seemed that they still had a lot of physical strength left, so they could climb the rest of the progress at the same speed. As the mountain climbing progressed, besides the initial discomfort, other things began to emerge in the hearts of Cheese and Crow, such as peace.

Yes, although their limbs are repeating high-intensity movements, their consciousness has fallen into a state similar to meditation. If Qi practitioners like Jian Qi encounter this state, they will be very clear about its origin, that is, the resonance between man and nature.

This kind of resonance is everywhere, labor and sports can be their medium, running, chopping wood, meditating, even cooking and fighting can make people resonate. In resonance, people are both awake and asleep.

But what is certain is that resonance is by no means a bad thing, and at the least beneficial, it can make people do more with less.

Cheese's feeling about this is particularly obvious. He can feel the lingering air below the navel, which is called Dantian by Jian Qi. Sometimes it makes the mage sober.

It's not an exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for the cursed crow, Cheese's speed would be three points faster than it is now. He even made a few jumps with ease, opening up a new path from the covered front road. the ascent route.綥

The curse crow following him quickly accepted this phenomenon after the initial surprise, and followed the cheese's footsteps to plan the route in advance to reduce his climbing difficulty.

There was nothing to say along the way, let's say that when the two of them were resting yesterday, Cheese found a suitable rock wall again and dug out a new resting point. However, the excavation process this time seems a little...too simple.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that the cheese had been inactive for a long time, the cursed crow crawled to his side and asked. Cheese pointed to the hole in front of him, indicating the reason for his confusion. The former didn't know why, but when he poked his head slightly to see the situation inside the ice cave, he also showed a subtle expression.

"I didn't make this hole. I just broke through the ice on the surface, and it was exposed."

The cheese said something that he could understand at a glance, but he didn't know who to explain it to. That's right, the ice cave in front of the two already existed, but the outer layer was sealed with stones and ice and snow, which completely isolated it from the outside world, forming a closed space.

There may be many reasons for the creation of this space, such as caves formed by natural changes in the mountain, or cavities formed by the extrusion of internal gas. But no matter what the reason was, what surprised the gray robe was not the cave itself, but the frost at the bottom of the cave, and a human-like footprint on the frost.綥

Cheese took out the lantern and confirmed that the interior of the cave was sealed, and there should be no secret door hidden by magic. He glanced at the cursed crow, and then got in first.

Compared with the cave that stayed overnight, this ice cave hidden in the mountain is more spacious, even enough for people to stand upright and walk around. The cheese that entered the hole carefully observed the footprints on the ground, quickly recovered from the initial shock, and found the difference between it and normal human footprints.

The first is the size, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com If the footprints are not deformed, then the thing that left the footprints should be much larger than ordinary people, unless its soles are deformed and wide. Also, there are traces of hair.

Ice and snow are like the best rubbing boards, faithfully recording every detail, including the fine lines of hair being squashed under the soles of the feet. Obviously this creature is not only big, but also has long hair on its feet.

"Do you know any creatures that match this footprint?" Cheese asked the cursed crow who entered the cave after him.

"Even if there were, those things would never survive here." The conjurer replied convincingly.

The harsh environment of Longji Mountain meant that there would not be any creatures on its surface. If there were any, it would be in the cracks inside the mountain or places where hot air gushes out.綥

But on the high mountain, the possibility of hot springs is very small, not to mention that Longji Mountain is not a volcano, and the Frost Guardian has never recorded any geothermal activity on this mountain.

"This is, strange."
