Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 291 The Strength of the Nords
Of course, digging holes is also particular.Generally speaking, when we dig a hole on the ground, we have to spend a lot of time on the soil.The excavated soil is sometimes too conspicuous, and it is easy to be spotted by interested people.There are also many methods in all lines, and they can be summed up in three ways.First, there is a special kind of potion. After sprinkled on the soil, the soil will compress itself and become a denser hard clod.The second is to build a house directly on it as a cover.The third is to have good technology. It is enough to dig out only enough soil for one person, and then fill in the back after digging the front.Only leave a gap for ventilation.

And the problem we have to face is even bigger. The first thing to dig is not soil but ice.And we are not digging, but melting.The product is water, which means that the first method mentioned earlier cannot be used.And this is the territory of the Nords. If we build an igloo here, we might as well just smash it.The third point is that we are not bad at that kind of technology, but anyone with a little knowledge of physics knows that ice is less dense than water.That is to say, after the ice of the same mass melts, its volume will become smaller; but the temperature outside is extremely low, and the water may immediately turn into ice again, and then expand in volume.That said, there is no way we can block the water in the back.Even if it could, once the water blocking the entrance of the cave freezes, it will definitely squeeze and crack the entire ice layer due to abnormal expansion.

"Don't you have that Huo Qubing? He has an independent space, can you send the excess water there." Dracula's timely reminder immediately solved the problem.I immediately called out Huo Qubing, and he said that there was no problem at all.Sure enough, it was a wise choice to accept Huo Qubing in the first place. It is really convenient to have such a space-time backpack.In this way, a huge project began.Of course, this vastness is only for the target we want to steal.Some people in history have spent several years just to dig a robbery hole.And we did it in just seven hours.And that's while we're trying to keep things as quiet as possible.

After making sure there were no other Nords up there, we carefully poked our heads out from under the ice.It is still the opposite of the polar night here, and the line of sight is very bad, but this is not a problem for Dracula. Their vampire family is a species that lives in the dark.And Sun Dasheng and I also have strong night vision capabilities.After walking for a while, we found a few ice houses after a long drive.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the house of the Nords.They are not like the Eskimos, whose houses are hemispherical and turned upside down on the ground.It's something similar to an underground fortress.Half of the house is below ground level and the other half is above.It's really like the old machine gun bunker or something.And now, the icehouse here does play that role.Dracula immediately noticed someone in several ice houses looking outside.

"I said, do you know how the Nords fight?" I suddenly asked Dracula, "Although they are tall, they definitely don't have bodies that are close to the physical limit like the orcs. From this point of view, it doesn't look like the Argonians have a numerical advantage. So what do they have to rely on to exist as a combat force?"

"I don't know either. I've said it all. I don't know much better than you." Although Dracula said this, he weighed it in his heart.Judging from the current situation, the fighting power of the Nords is really not flattering.And the number is pitifully small. Is it really necessary to treat them as equal allies?To put it bluntly, judging from current observations, Dracula could have wiped out the Nords on his own.

Dracula is not a good stubble, or in other words, all those who can become the blood king of the vampire family are ruthless characters.All the people he respects have the capital to make him respect.And his respect for the Nords is obviously unreasonable, and now the Nords seem to be weaker than he imagined.Judging from the things in front of me, it is clearly said to be a forbidden area, but it is completely incapable of preventing outsiders from entering.Does such a small clan really need to be respected by him?Thinking of this, Dracula remembered the two times when the Nords did not cooperate.Involuntarily, a fire of ignorance rose up.Surprised in his heart, he secretly decided that once he was sure that the Nords were just doing this twice, and if the treasure still disappointed him, he would wipe out the territory of the Nords himself.

Inexplicably, I felt a murderous aura rising from Dracula, so I couldn't help but look back at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

However, before he could speak, I had already noticed something strange.He hurriedly dragged Dracula and Sun Dasheng to hide behind a large iceberg.At the same time pointing to the sky.I saw a few light blue pipelines flashing across the originally dead night, and then a large number of black shadows rushed out.The black shadow seemed to be wearing flame armor, and large flying objects illuminated the night sky.I took a closer look and subconsciously said, "Qongqi!"

Then I saw a large number of such monsters swooping down.One of them was dangerous and seemed to be passing by the iceberg where we were hiding, and everyone could see clearly what it was.It was a monster with a tiger body and wings.Seeing this thing, Sun Dasheng and I will subconsciously think of Shan Hai Jing.This is exactly a kind of monster described in Shan Hai Jing, called Qiong Qi.In Chinese legend, the evil god suppresses good and promotes evil. It is as big as a cow, looks like a tiger, is covered with hedgehog fur, has wings, and barks like a dog. It lives by eating people.

We were not too surprised to see this monster in Shan Hai Jing again.I have seen Xuan Gui in the underground lake of Xiaoxing'an Mountains before, as well as Yingyu and Zhujiuyin from the South China Sea.It has now been confirmed that the rare and exotic animals in the Book of Mountains and Seas are not groundless, and all the rare and exotic animals symbolize a tribe.Then what appeared now should be the Qiongqi Tribe.The key is, what are these things here for?Um, isn't this nonsense?He rushed here viciously, to the place where the Nords were guarding the treasure, what else could they do except to grab the treasure.

It seems that some people really care about the Nords.At this time, a foreign tribe that we have never seen rushed out.That might be a bit of a misnomer.We also don't know that the Qiongqi tribe can be regarded as a foreign race like us?After all, they are not like us. We are all humans who were originally slaves of the tribe.And they're not human at all.This has an essential difference, or they should be counted as Luo Jinard's forces.

"Wait a minute, I still want to see what kind of tricks these Nords have." Dracula didn't move. When he said this, Sun Dasheng and I were also a little curious.They also want to see how the Nords will react to such a surprise attack.So they all hid quietly and waited and watched.

After a cursory look, there are probably more than a dozen Qiongqi in the air, all of which are full of fire.However, after a short period of silence on the ground, countless blue lights swished, and the elements of the surrounding space visibly fluctuated for a while.With a huff, countless ice spears and ice picks flew out from the ground.At the same time, there is also the cold air fluttering with blue brilliance.

The attack power of these ice spears and ice thorns was extremely strong, and two Qiongqi couldn't dodge immediately, and were directly nailed to death in the air, and their huge bodies fell down like meteorites.And those seemingly harmless fogs are even more terrifying.One of Qiongqi's wings was stained for a moment, and the flame was immediately extinguished, replaced by the ice of the entire wing.After only a few flaps, it turned into a big ice cube and fell down.

But Qiongqi was caught off guard at first, but now he has regained his momentum and started to attack in an organized manner.Several Qiongqi formed a group, opening their mouths to spit out flames like a small sun.For a while, the battlefield fell into a stalemate.We are all dumbfounded here, this is simply abnormal!Such a powerful ice elemental attack already belongs to the category of Taoism.We really underestimated the Nords. We only thought they were warriors, but now it seems that they are tactics!It was at this moment that we noticed something was wrong.I saw a large number of Nords all gathered together.Qi Qi chanted something loudly.For a moment, we all felt that this space was imprisoned.Body movements become unusually slow and difficult.The Qiongqi in the sky is even more so.

"Quick retreat!" The three of us tried our best to hide in the cave we dug before.Next, a burst of violent elemental fluctuations suddenly erupted on the ground.
