Chapter 176 Feeding on Thorns
Whoops!
The wind in the snowfield blew up, like a steel knife stabbing into the face and into the collar of the clothes, biting and freezing.
Russell's valet, Ram, tightened his cotton coat and leaned against the coachman, trying to hug each other for warmth.
There were only him and two coachmen in the entire convoy, they were ordinary people.
The rest are knights.
The knights were full of fighting spirit, and even if they didn't wear much clothes, they were not afraid of the severe cold, even if there were ice scum on their beards and hair.
"Eh Gu, Eh Gu!"
Suddenly, an elf emerged from the carriage and flew towards Russell, who was riding in front of him, despite the cold wind.
"Chichi!" Following closely behind the elf was a fat green bird.
The little elf and the little fat bird were not afraid of the cold wind and soon landed on Russell's left and right shoulders, calling out loudly.
"Nicole, Rosie, why are you out here?" Russell tilted his head and looked both ways, full of pride.
Even though he was only a Lord Lord, he had two elves, and who could compare to that.
The fluorescent mushroom family is just two elves.
"Cuckoo!"
"Jiji."
He couldn't understand what the two elves were saying, but Russell could feel the two little guys through telepathy, and he was full of novelty about the scenery on the snowfield.
"Okay, after you've seen the scenery, go back to the carriage and stay there. Don't fall off. The Snow Demon will catch you and eat you." Russell threatened Nicole and Rosie slightly and pulled them away. He hurried back to the carriage.
Along the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, no one in the team made a sound, just braving the cold wind and falling snow from time to time.
In the evening, we arrived at a cold spring point.
After setting up camp and cooking meals, Russell and Knight Commander Caris chatted for a while, then each returned to their tents to rest.
Even though it was still early, after a day's journey, people and horses were exhausted, so the sound of snoring soon started to sound in the Cold Spring Point campground.
Even Russell fell asleep early.
"Gah!"
Xiao Menglong's voice was particularly loud.
In a month, it followed Russell to various places in Sancha River Estuary and discovered many magical lights.
Pregnant fairy bugs have even been discovered.
But Russell didn't pick it. Everything here belongs to the Yujiuhua family and does not belong to him. Moreover, breeding fairy bugs requires the consumption of Xiao Menglong's original dragon flame. Even if it could be restored, Russell would not be willing to part with it.
In the past, there was no choice. If you wanted to develop your territory, you had to cultivate more fairy bugs.
Now that the two elves are in hand, there is no need to worry about potions, and naturally there is no need to delay the growth of the little dream dragon.
So much so that for a month, one person and one dragon just wandered around in the dark dreamland with only one purpose.
That is the search for amber worms.
Russell hopes to find new amber worms. He is now full of desire for amber worms. Not only are amber worms infinitely useful, they can also expand the range of dark dream clones, which will be of great help to Goldfinger.
"It's a pity that in such a large Sancha River Estuary, I just took a quick look and couldn't find a single amber worm."
but.
There is also something that makes Russell happy, that is, in the process of appreciating the mouth of the Sancha River, he found the food for the growth of the thorn amber worm.
The sword butterfly and amber worm feed on the sword skills on the battlefield, or Russell can also get a small amount of food when fighting with others.
The thorn amber worm feeds on thorn plants. Whenever Russell approaches thorn food, the thorn amber worm will send dense thoughts of "growing" and "delicious, delicious".
Its growth is somewhat similar to that of elf bugs, in that it eats the pheromones from thorns of the same kind, especially new varieties of thorns, which can bring it more nutrients.
So while traveling with Mel, Russell also had the task of looking for thorny plants.
Thorns are a relatively common plant in the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame, and thorns are also widely distributed in the mouth of the Sancha River, so during this period, the Thorn Amberworms were quite full.
But nothing seems to have changed.
After revealing itself, it is still just a five-meter-long whip, but its flexibility is slightly improved. This may be the effect of running-in.
one way or another.
The Sword Butterfly Amberworm and the Thorn Amberworm both have ways to grow. If they continue to grow, they may bring Russell even greater surprises one day in the future.
Turn over as a dragon.
The next second, the light of magic bloomed, and all the magic in the cold spring point appeared in the dark dream.
"Ice cream, sword butterfly, thorn, let's go!" Russell waved forward.
The ice cream suddenly flew away from the cold spring point at a speed of thirty kilometers per hour. In the dark dream, there is no sound of wind, and there is no temperature, only boundless silence and darkness.
"Gah!" Xiao Menglong was in a happy mood.
Russell was also very happy: "It's best to find another snow demon to swallow the ice soul bead, so that our speed will be faster and the search range will be larger!"
Xiao Menglong agreed very much: "Gah!"
At first, its speed was only fifteen kilometers per hour. After swallowing two Ice Soul Beads for the first time, it increased to 25 kilometers per hour. After swallowing another Ice Soul Bead, it increased to the current thirty kilometers per hour. Hour.
It can be seen that every time the Ice Soul Pearl is swallowed, the speed can be increased by about five kilometers per hour.
Of course, as the little dream dragon grows, the effect of the Ice Soul Pearl will become weaker and weaker.
But as long as it increases speed, that's a good thing.
But tonight was not a lucky night. One person, one dragon, one butterfly and one flower searched the snowfield all night, and only found a batch of six ordinary snow ghosts. The little dream dragon swallowed six ice graupel beads in one mouthful. Stuffed between teeth.
Before parting, Russell comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, Ice Cream. At the current rate, you still have three nights to search for food!"
"Gah."
…
The next night, Russell and Xiao Menglong headed towards the snowfield as promised. The harvest this night was good. They saw several groups of green-skinned snow ghosts, and even a few large green-skinned snow ghosts.
It really gave little Menglong a delicious meal.
The only regret is that the blue-skinned snow demon was not found and the ice soul bead was not swallowed.
"We have to camp at Cold Spring Point for two nights. We still have a chance for ice cream."
"Gah!"
…
On the way home, we have been marching through the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, and we haven’t encountered anything worth mentioning. Apart from the wind, snow and freezing cold.
Soon it was evening and the team entered the cold spring point.
Unexpectedly, the cold spring point was very lively, and a caravan was already camping here. The not-so-wide patio was crowded with all kinds of livestock. Russell even saw a fantasy beast - the Nightmare Ghost Horse. Obviously the caravan's There are knights of fantasy beasts as escorts.
"Is it Master Russell?" Russell was recognized as soon as he came in.
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, this old man is Huangya Tom, the steward of the third caravan of Blue Bird Castle. He has been traveling between Sancha River Mouth and Youguang River Valley for a long time." Huangya Tom smiled, with a mouth full of big yellow teeth, "I didn't expect to be here. , meet you, Master Russell!”
"Hello, Yellow-toothed Tom."
"I dare not disturb your rest." Yellow-toothed Tom was about to leave when he saw Knight Commander Karis, "Ah, Lord Karis, you are here too."
Knight Commander Caris obviously often escorts caravans, so he nodded: "Yellow-fang Tom, how was the harvest this time?"
"Very good, very good. The products in the Youguang Valley are so rich that the caravan's carriage can hardly hold it!"
"Who is escorting you?"
"Yes, Lord Stephen, Master Russell, Lord Caris, Lord Stephen is camping in the northeast corner." Yellow Tooth Tom enthusiastically pointed out the location of Lord Stephen's tent for Russell and others.
