I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

Let’s not worry about what Ms. Morgan has suffered in Irving’s subconscious mind, let’s go to the north first.

According to legend, there was a huge mountain range in the north during the Middle Ages. Humans who had little culture at that time and had just arrived in the north thought that this place was the highest place in the world.

Those who write poems at the seaside can come up with "Back to the sea, spring flowers blooming";

Well, can we who live in the mountains show off a little and say “I have the blue sky on my back and there are clouds below me”?

It was probably with this mentality that the people of the North gave the mountain where they lived a very cool name - The Spine of the World.

Then, following the usual human practice, they built mixed-inhabited towns and promoted racial homogeneity.

No matter whether you are a dark elf or a Wildhammer dwarf, you are welcome here as long as you come.

From the house to the wife, everything will be provided for you as long as you are willing to put in more effort.

Unfortunately, the people in the North at that time had no sense of crisis.

With such a big mountain and such a cold weather, why do you feel that there won’t be any indigenous people welcoming you with swords, spears, and halberds?

So, first an evil artifact controlled a mediocre wizard whose brain was not as good as an ordinary person's, and brought a bunch of evil monsters to attack the city;

Later, he encountered a frost giant who was hiding in a deep mountain. He fainted from hunger and ran down from the top of the mountain to have a bite of food.

Finally, a giant frost dragon that had been sleeping since who knows when was disturbed, and it ran to the human town and spitted.

At this point, the last place in the north where humans remained had completely disappeared.

However, the stories of the North have been passed down.

What about the dark elf ranger who kills people with two scimitars and lives in darkness but has a heart for light?

What kind of giant frost dragon that soared up to 90,000 miles was finally slaughtered and turned into an undead bone dragon to be ridden by others...

Anyway, those are all trivial things from the Middle Ages.

Now, the place that was originally the spine of the world has completely become a paradise for creatures that prefer cold weather. Apart from the frost giants of the otaku clan, no intelligent creatures can be seen.

After experiencing several mini ice ages, the snow and permafrost in the entire northern border melted and froze again, and the landforms have changed countless times, and the species living there have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

During the northern creature invasion twelve years ago, a certain druid boss threw several legendary spells [Storm of Vengeance] into the enemy camp.

These devastating magical energies used lightning, acid rain and hail to blast deep pits one after another on the frozen plain.

In the following years, these deep pits were covered by soft snow and became the most dangerous dividing line in the north - the pit corridor, a dangerous area where people could not see if they were not careful.

Most of the dangerous creatures in the north were restricted to the north of the Pit Gallery because of their heavy weight; the small number of unruly and freedom-loving ones were basically frozen under the Pit Gallery.

There are elemental variants wandering all over the ground now. Due to their weight, some super-giant variants will cross this line of defense.

But the "smaller" variant that successfully passed through the minefield, such as the one that beat the hollow ears, was also twelve feet high, almost as tall as three Lians.

The patrol team on the north side now encountered an ice elemental variant that was at least ten feet tall.

Since Xiling had to stay at the base, a certain dwarf was not in the team on the grounds of protecting his sister.

The patrol team that was short of people was temporarily led by the middle-aged Todd, and the elf warrior Tyrion Riverblade temporarily joined the team, replacing Lian as the team's meat shield.

Ariella, the first elven druid in the team, who has now mastered the second-level divine spell, is casting [Tree Skin] on other companions. While chanting the spell, she keeps an eye on the monster confronting them - the oversized squirrel-shaped ice elemental variant with two protruding front teeth.

"Pay attention to roaming and fighting, and don't get frozen by his icy breath."

Todd, who had some knowledge of ice elements, warned the team members. Although these elemental variants looked intimidating, they were not as difficult to deal with as the alien species that had appeared in the North before.

“Also, don’t think that just because they turn into squirrels, they will really attack like squirrels.

For elementals, weapons may suddenly grow from all parts of their body."

"Roger that, Captain Todd."

Ranger Lin Liya has replaced the arrows in her hands with enchanted ammunition - this is an experimental weapon that she asked Philothir to get before she set out. It is said that a human cast a spell on it whose effect he himself did not know.

The warrior Tirian, holding two swords, carefully protected the other team members.

Although he is an agile fighter who is better at attacking, in the current team configuration, he is probably the only one who can play the role of defender.

As Todd began to chant spells and perform the Sutra Dance (his unique skill: high-frequency divine gesture), the giant squirrel on the opposite side launched a surprise attack.

Like all squirrels, this ice elemental variant pawed the ground with its limbs at high speed, increasing its speed to the extreme.

In less than a breath, the big squirrel rushed into Lin Liya's attack range.

However, the speed of this variant was too fast, and the elf ranger's bow and arrow could not aim at the ice-blue figure that flashed left and right.

"Tirrion!"

Ranger Lin Liya shouted, asking her companions to quickly block the enemy's advance so that she would have a chance to shoot the arrow that would hit the target.

The handsome male elf raised his weapon in a very weird way, and he moved his steps, trying to block the direction of the big squirrel's movement.

As an offensive player, this kind of combat strategy makes him feel somewhat constrained.

As the giant squirrel entered the attack range, the elf warrior's double swords began to dance. The two nimble blades drew arcs in the air, and then faster and faster, interweaving into a dangerous metal storm.

The storm quickly achieved its goal. The big squirrel didn't have time to brake, and its two front paws were caught in the storm and cut into pieces of ice.

However, as Todd had warned, the elemental variants did not attack in the same way as the exogenous species;

As Tirian stared warily at the creature's buck teeth in front of him, the huge squirrel's tail swept across Tirian's sword like a battering ram.

Tirian was completely unprepared and only had time to defend himself with his two swords before he was swept into the sky by the huge force.

The beautiful elf, who was already very light, flew over Todd's head and fell in front of the elven druid Ariella who was chanting a spell.

The pair of elegant one-handed swords were also frozen by the low temperature and fell to the ground and turned into pieces.
