Demon Hunter and His Cabin-Chapter 1124 - 789: Alcohol can be drunk freely, but words must not be spoken carelessly_2
Bang!
At this moment, the snow swirling in the air lost its controlling force. ππΏπ²ππ°πππ§πππ²π₯.πππ
The small amount of snow seemed insignificant compared to Hillrenesβs figure, but here at the summit, such a change in force was enough to trigger a disaster.
Yet at this moment, an unknown force rapidly spread, affecting not just the drifting snow, but even the Transcendent power at the mountainβs peak.
In an instant, all the Xenomorph energy was expelled, creating a brief "vacuum" at the mountaintop.
Uncertainly how much time had passed, two stumbled and clinging figures finally reached what was called the finish line.
Their heads, faces, and limbs were wrapped in thick gear, making it impossible to determine their age from their physique, and even their gender could only be vaguely guessed from their attire and movements.
It seemed to be a man and a woman.
Particularly noticeable was a red flag on their chests, with the golden star on it exceptionally glaring.
"Finally... finally succeeded!"
A tired female voice came.
"Conquered this mountain, we will be the only team to conquer the worldβs top ten mountains!"
"Actually, itβs not enough." Another manβs voice sounded as he looked upward.
"This is not the so-called summit at all."
"How is it not? This is the limit everyone has reached!" The womanβs voice tightened as she grabbed the manβs arm.
"But thereβs still a path up there, I want to try!"
"No, Li Yang, donβt go!"
The womanβs voice was full of anxiety.
"Itβs too strange there, everyone who has tried... terrible things happened to them, death was the best outcome. Weβve already succeeded by reaching here, I canβt bear to... "
Li Yang stopped and turned to look at his companion.
"Donβt worry, letβs go see first. Anyway, itβs really strange here, I have a unique feeling that if we donβt try today, weβll regret it for the rest of our lives!"
"Donβt forget Armeniaβs team is right behind us, what if they continue climbing after reaching here?"
The woman fell silent, and after a while, she let out a long breath.
"Alright, I agree with you, but you must promise just to take a look!"
"Of course, no problem!" Li Yangβs eyes showed sincerity, but he gave a slight smile when he turned around.
As for a manβs words...
What do you mean Iβm just holding hands, doing nothing else?
What do you mean Iβm just hugging, doing nothing else?
And... I wonβt mess around; lies like these have existed since time immemorial, regardless of culture.
But the result... hehe.
Those who understand, understand.
The further they went up, the less snow and wind there was, the air seemed to freeze around them. Initially, only Li Yang sped up, but soon they all realized something.
A boundless Energy surged from within, and their climbing speed became faster and faster.
No matter the distance, there would be a day when they reached the end. Without the influence of Transcendent power, they pressed on in one go, almost reaching the highest peak of Mount Elbrus simultaneously.
"Itβs so beautiful here, even the temperature..."
Li Yang removed his mask, and surprisingly, the surrounding air seemed to be brimming with infinite vitality, the world was beneath their feet, and they could see faint flickering symbols above them, apparently leading to an unknown world.
He turned around, only to see the woman beside him planting a bright red flag on the peak.
"We have conquered this place!!" The woman shouted defiantly.
"Thereβs nothing honest from your mouth!"
"But you must admit, each outcome isnβt bad." The man replied.
Then, they both laughed at each other.
Not long after, a satellite photo spread wildly online, and the names of two Huaxia people, Li Yang and Zhao Jing, were eternally carved in the history of climbing.
They were the only team to conquer Mount Elbrus.
However, as these two Huaxia people caught the worldβs attention, another piece of news was reported simultaneously.
Two of Armeniaβs renowned climbing teams, during their challenge of Mount Elbrusβs final Domain of the Gods, met with an accident and unfortunately died.
Since then, they became the first and last ordinary people to set foot in the Domain of the Gods.
Due to some unknown reasons, many chronic ailments on their bodies healed without treatment, lasting until the end of their natural lives.
Of course, this was many years later.
"What did you just do?"
On the other side, crossing the space barrier, Sonia asked curiously.
"Nothing much, just a little trick out of boredom."
With Rogerβs power, he had naturally noticed the climbers at the foot of the mountain at the moment before leaving and saw the red flag on their chests.
Even though he knew his memories were illusory, Roger still suddenly wanted to do something at that time.
Sonia had of course noticed this too, but he didnβt care, which didnβt mean he was cold and ruthless, just that he had lived for too long.
Long enough to regard ordinary people as ant-like beings, even if he knew that his actions would bring great disaster to those ordinary people.
Roger felt a chill in his heart.
Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years.
Would he become like that too...
"This location is not secretive, and in fact, if one masters spatial power, there are many ways we could come here." Sonia clearly didnβt mind what had happened just now, and continued speaking at this moment.
"But doing so would be like sneaking in as thieves, whereas now it is an open and honest visit!"
Roger nodded, when they reached the mountain top, he had already noticed the space structure around them, and breaking through would not have been a difficult task at all.
The place where the two were currently standing was an ice bridge; after walking a few more steps forward, a hearty laugh came through.
"Itβs been so long!"
The ice bridge in front of them vanished, and a ten-meter long Ice Bear ran towards them with heavy steps.
Thud thud!
The ground shook, and on the bearβs back was a burly man, clad in leather armor, with a thick cloak over his shoulders, and through his broad shoulders, one could see a pair of chillingly gleaming battle axes.
"Iβve heard that Hillrenes received the punishment she deserved?"
The manβs face was rugged, with an imposing presence that commanded respect, as he looked down at Hillrenes, who was following Roger and Sonia.
"If it werenβt for you, I would have torn her apart and fed her to Sade right now."
He grinned widely, revealing a set of white teeth.
"After all, dragon meat is something hard to come by!"
Then frost crawled up Hillrenesβ ankles, quickly encasing her entirely in ice, the whole process occurring as she glared angrily but made no sound.
"Let her stay here, that place is not somewhere she can go."
"As you say." Sonia shrugged, then introduced Roger so they could get to know each other.
"Haha! Very pleased to meet you, my friend, please call me Tersko, as long as you like drinking, we will be forever friends!"
Tersko laughed heartily, then jumped down from the bearβs back and strode towards Roger, seemingly intending to clap Roger on the shoulder, but after comparing their sizes, he could only smile helplessly and lower his raised hand.
The snow-covered landscape stretched into the horizon, and staying in such a place seemed to purify the soul.
Amidst the white expanse, specks of green dotted the scene, unexpectedly, Tersko didnβt live in a grand castle or an underground palace.
His dwelling was just a wooden cabin built on a hillside, appearing only slightly larger than an ordinary woodland hut, surrounded by piles of chopped wood.
From the doorway, a busy woman and several children bustling around her could be seen.
Without exception, even the children were taller than Roger.
"They donβt know my identity."
Tersko smiled, "Thatβs fine, although Iβve obtained long life now, to be honest, I still miss those days of struggling together."
Tersko turned to Sonia, saying.
"Donβt disturb them, Iβve already told them Iβll be out hunting for a few days."
"Letβs go!"
Roger took one last look at the distant wooden cabin before quickening his pace to catch up with Tersko, "As long as you still live in that cabin, you will always be my friend."
"Oh?"
"You like this kind of place too?" Tersko grinned.
"A woodland cabin, thatβs where it all began..." Roger mused.
"Haha!" Tersko laughed aloud, "When we return, Iβll surely bring you to my home to taste my roast meat and strong liquor!"
Sonia gave Roger a somewhat surprised look; she had known Tersko for many years, but those who received an invitation to enter that cabin were few and far between.
Roger just smiled, brother, are you really okay with casually raising flags like this?
Uh...
