The 102th chapter "Stronger and stronger" (Up and Down)
Using the fastest speed to fly out of the surrounding snow covered lands near the Holy Mountain, the old magician once again took out his wand as they came up to the "forgotten ice field".
The land in between the "forgotten Ice field" and the "Holy Mountain" had a very clear line to distinguish its borders. On one end was covered in cold hard ice, while the other side was covered in soft snow. As they stood there, everything seemed calm inside the forgotten ice field. But from prior experience, they knew in their heart that once they took their first step inside the ancient magic array, the weather would immediately change!
Taking the lead, as soon as the old magician stepped into ice field, the sky immediately darkened and the once quiet wind started to rage in bursts. In order to fend off the brewing weather, the silvery gem on his wand was again releasing a soft comforting light.
"Quick! Don't waste time!" The old Magician grabbed Du Wei because right now in his mind, Du Wei was the most important person in their mix. Firmly grasping onto his side, the old magician raised the wand like a torch into the air and led the way forward....
The howling wind of the ice field was gradually starting to release a stirring noise like that of sharp blade ravaging against something. Standing next to the old magician, Du Wei could clearly hear the creaking sound that came from the wind blades hammering against the small barrier set up around the group.
From his appearance, beads of sweat were already starting to form around the old magician's nose. It was obvious that the old fella's magic reserve weren't full recovered from their initial crossing of the ice field......
Harsh winds soared through the air and misty dark clouds blocked out the very sun in the sky!
Thanks to the old magician's endurance and support, they barely managed to make it through their first day of escape.
During the second day, Du Wei could clearly feel the old magician overexerting himself. As soon as beads of sweat started to form around his forehead, they were frozen instantly due to the freezing weather. Not long after, the frozen beads had formed a layer of ice on the old magician's face. If not for the puffs of white air coming out of his nostrils, one would really mistake him for a frozen Popsicle.
In order to cut down on the magic consumption of the old magician, Hussein had already lifted the old magician onto his back. Step by step, the knight walked through the icy surface as he released his golden Dou Qi. Thanks to his effort, the group was able to enjoy a hint of warmth from this endeavor.
"This won't do......" Once again, the magical light in the old magician's hands dimmed down a notch. In a whispering voice, he called out at Du Wei: "I can't hold on. Du Wei, you come here and hold the wand for a while. I need to refill some of my magic reserve while I meditate."
Passing the wand over to Du Wei, the old magician quickly chugged down the last bottle of magic potion he had on him. Within moments, the look on his face was slightly better, but his eyes were still showing a look of tiredness. Not long after, Gargamel took over the job of sustaining the barrier and relived Du Wei.
"This storm is a little odd." Slightly regaining his spirit, the old magician frowned at once: "The storm of this ice field is fierce, but it shouldn't be this fierce! Don't you think that the storm now is much stronger than when we first came through?"
Du Wei nodded and whispered, "Do you mean that the dragons can control the storm?"
"No." The Old magician shook his head, looking somewhat weak. Moving forward, Du Wei ignored everything and supported the old magician's body as they continued walking. In a weak voice, the old magician whispered into Du Wei's ears: "According to the legends, the reason God set up this magic array here is to block humanity from continuing into the north and stop the exiled races from heading south..... In addition to these two reasons, there is also another important reason and that is to limit the dragon clan."
