Dragon King's Harem Chapter 87. Deadly Snowfield
The two suns in the sky of Igixar were getting higher, yet the temperature around me was getting lower. The cracking sounds from the crisp refrozen thin slushy snow followed every step of our Yegauns. The white scenery of the snow dominated the terrain around us. The snow covered the hills, rocks, grass and dry trees, showing only a little of the true colour of the terrain. The cold bit my skin and body, even though I was wearing thicker clothes. The wind brushed against my face, trying to take my hood off my head even though I didn't spur our mounts that fast. They had just recovered from the baron's poison. Although Evelina had healed them, it didn't mean that their energy and stamina had recovered. So we decided to take it easy on them. My eyes swept around in caution to make sure we were safe from the monsters, though... What I saw was only a dull white scene. The white leafless trees with white thorns covering the branches were the only decorations there. Those looked like beautiful crystal statues amidst that boring scene, but also deadly. Those were deadly plants that would attack anyone and anything that came close to them. Those trees would shoot the icy thorns from their branches to kill their victims. After the victims died, it made their blood and flesh as its nutrition. That's why some of those trees had remnants of old clothes and armour nearby.
Yes, this was why a lot of adventurers avoided this place. This place was boring but full of danger and there was nothing they could do here.
Unlike the previous place, the monsters were dominated by ice elements so I relied more on my Mana Weapon and Telekinetic skills than my other skills. Moreover, many monsters around us had higher levels above mine. But the good news was I could use them to level up easily, especially since I also used Al's Double EXP Potion.
Several hours had passed since we left Whitevalley Village and I was level 55 now. We had entered the Icicle Tundra two hours ago and should have arrived at our destination soon.
"Is our destination still far away?" Jyne whined in a spoiled tone. Her eyes darted around, trying to catch whatever might be their destination there, but nothing.
"We are almost there," I said. The thin fog came out of my mouth every time I spoke, showing how cold the place was and I hated it. As a dragon, it was normal for me to like a warm place over a cold place like this. Moreover, every monster here had an ice elemental attack that made the air around us grow colder when we fought them.
Eir moved his mount to walk beside me and turned his head to me.
"I think we should take a rest, sir. Although we don't need it, our mounts need it," he said in a serious tone. Due to the poison, our mounts couldn't move as fast as before and needed more rest. Otherwise... Their health would deteriorate and we might lose our mounts in the middle of the trip. And that wasn't a good idea, especially in a place like this.
Then Evelina moved her mount to my other side.
"Eir's right. I'm afraid they can't last much longer if we keep pushing them," Evelina added, her hand stroking her mount's head gently. Her concern was clear from the tone of her voice.
"We'll take a rest after we make it to the temple," I replied. I was also worried about our mounts' condition, but I had good reasons for this.
"Are you planning to take a rest in that place? Isn't that place dangerous?" asked Eir in confusion.
I chuckled at his words. Even though Eir had visited many places and travelled around Draconis, this territory was foreign to him. There were almost no important cities and towns here, so he never visited this place. But it was different for me. Although the real Argod had never been to this place, I had some memories of this place from the previous Dragon Kings. So I knew the next Temple was very different from the previous Pyro Temple since it was more like a shelter.
"That place is like a deadly oasis for adventurers who get lost. But as long as we're careful, we'll be safe there," I said.
"Deadly oasis?" Jyne's voice came from behind Evelina.
"Yes. Since it depends on the person who enters it. If he is careful then that place will be a good shelter. If he doesn't, then that place will become his grave," I replied.
"Does such a place exist?" said Eir with a frown. It sounded odd to him.
"As long as that place hasn't changed since my grandfather visited it." And it shouldn't. If that kind of place changed, it meant that there was something wrong with the Mana flow in that place.
After those words, my eyes caught something different than just the boring snowfield.
"We have arrived." My hand pointed to what I meant. A pair of gigantic hand sculptures made of eternal ice. The palms were facing up and below that gigantic sculpture, thousands of white trees adorned it. Those were the deadly trees. It made it look like a natural fortress rather than a temple.
Their eyes widened as they looked at the gruesome sight. Even a monster couldn't approach that place, let alone people like them.
"How do we get through those deadly trees?" said Jyne. Those trees were too dense, so going through them was impossible. The only available route was by air. Eir and Argod could get past that easily since they were Dragons, but not Evelina, Jyne and their mounts. With that vast expanse of trees, they had to take a detour over a hill and it would take at least a few hours to get through it.
"As long as Evelina and I are here, we can get through this easily," I said in a casual tone. I had been thinking about this since the beginning, I even thought of making this place as an alternative place for us to spend the night if Al didn't give The Tonic of Camouflage.
"Me?" said Evelina in confusion that was clear from her tone and expression.
"Yes. Just follow my instructions. You'll understand. It's not that hard, you don't have to worry," I said casually.
"Okay," Evelina replied even though she was still confused about what Argod meant.
"It's almost noon now. We'd better move faster so we can take a rest and grab our lunch," I said.
"Yes, sir," they answered. After that, we kicked the side of our mounts, so our Yegauns moved faster.
As we moved forward towards that place, a smirk appeared on my lips.
'I wonder how the Baron's convoy? The trick should work by now.'
