Chapter 397: The Good Guy, Lyon
Chapter 397: The Good Guy, Lyon
I finally found you!
Scorpion Chief, whose consciousness was residing in the large dog's body, was about to bite his teeth in frustration as he watched Lyon stuff the Snow Maiden into a strange blanket and fiddle with something.
Damn it! This kid has decent talent, but he's just too damn disobedient!
I had repeatedly emphasized the importance of staying close to the dog, or he might encounter the Snow Maiden and be lured into a blizzard, freezing to death. And while I was busy searching for a bug in the desert, this kid disappeared!
If I hadn't taken the precaution of memorizing his scent beforehand, I might have never found him, even if he froze to death in the snow mountains!
"Woof!"
Controlling the large dog's body, Scorpion Chief let out an angry roar and leaped towards the Snow Maiden in the sleeping bag. However, an astonishingly large backpack suddenly appeared in his path.
"Boom!"
Damn, that's a dog!
The backpack swung out, knocking the attacking dog, knocking it to the ground. Lyon, confident in his thick clothing, pounced and pinned the dog down with his weight, firmly gripping its mouth to prevent it from biting.
Damn, you hit me?!?!
After being knocked down by the backpack, Scorpion Chief, seeing stars, was about to curse, but his mouth was clamped shut, his tongue hanging out helplessly.
As Lyon held the dog's mouth, the thorny crown on the dog's head fell off, and the dog's angry gaze instantly cleared.
"Woof... Woof..."
It seemed... it had been subdued?
Lyon hesitated slightly as he noticed the dog below him no longer struggling but instead whimpering with its tail tucked between its legs. He loosened his grip a little.
To his surprise, the dog didn't attack again but instead rolled over, exposing its belly in a submissive manner.
"Quick! Strangle it!"
As Lyon released the dangerous dog, the Snow Maiden, who had finally relaxed, tensed up again. Struggling to sit up, she said,
"It's dangerous! Don't let it deceive you! I..."
"I have a plan!"
Interrupting the Snow Maiden, Lyon slammed his palm and exclaimed,
"You don't have a climbing suit, so you can't walk down with me. But I have a sleeping bag!
We can cut some branches and use a climbing rope to make a simple sled. You lie in the sleeping bag, and I'll drag you down with this dog!"
Drag me down?
Upon hearing Lyon's plan, the Snow Maiden shuddered.
The dream she had created was not as infinite as the real Dream Realm; it was limited to this snow mountain. If he dragged her down, she would be at the edge of the nightmare.
Normally, being dragged to the edge of a nightmare would result in waking up. But now, with the Abyss of Fallen Souls overlapping with reality, being pulled out from the edge of the nightmare would mean entering reality!
Unlike the sandworm monster, the Snow Maiden was immune to freezing, but her strength was similar to an ordinary human woman, and all her power was within this snow mountain.
If Lyon dragged her out of the dream, she would be at the mercy of others, and without the protection of the dream, she might even melt into reality!
...
"No, no, no!"
Realizing Lyon's intention, the Snow Maiden quickly shook her head and refused,
"I... I remember, I have a team leader! Just... just leave me here, give me a blanket, and wait for him to come and rescue me!"
"Hmm? You're finally thinking straight!"
Seeing the foolish woman stop her nonsense, Lyon was delighted. He took out his satellite phone, adjusted the service provider, and asked,
"I searched for a while, but there was no response. What's your team leader's number?
I'll see if I can establish a connection!"
Communication number? What the hell is that?
I have no idea what Lyon has in his hand, but considering this is a dream, as long as it's not too unreasonable, she can fill in the details herself. After a moment of silence, Snow Maiden, with a gambling mindset, tentatively speaks up.
"6?"
"..."
6, your grandpa! Global Star numbers are 12 digits!
This silly woman still hasn't snapped out of it.
Disappointed, Lyon puts away the satellite phone and finds a climbing rope. He ties the well-behaved big dog to a nearby tree, tugs on it a few times to ensure it can't break free, and then resolutely picks up the hatchet to chop down a tree.
Seeing that Lyon has finally left, the ferocious dog bares its teeth at her again. Snow Maiden dares not linger and takes a deep breath, intending to escape through the blizzard. However...
"Woof!"
With a soul-shaking bark, Snow Maiden, whose body is already half-transformed into the blizzard, trembles violently and is shaken out of the snowstorm by the powerful bark.
As the loud bark echoes, the heavy blizzard within a 500-meter radius of the two and the dog suddenly disperses, turning into a moderate snowfall.
Oh no...
Looking at the big dog tied to the tree, baring its teeth at her, Snow Maiden, lying in her sleeping bag, feels her whole body go numb from the bark.
It's actually this type of suppressive anomaly... If I had known this would happen, I'd rather have traded places with that sea monster and held off the Scorpion Bureau Chief of the Purification Bureau.
Although I have no combat abilities, there's no need to fight over there either; I just need to run fast. As someone who can transform into a blizzard, staying alive is so easy.
After accepting the task to deal with this third-class purifier, I accidentally got caught by this man and his dog. If this continues...
"It's a bit ugly, but it should work!"
Lyon cuts some branches and uses the spare climbing rope to bind them together, creating a makeshift sled. He then ties the dog to the sled with a few knots, and the makeshift dog-drawn sled is ready.
He picks up the powerless Snow Maiden, ties her to the sled, and looks up at the snow, which has lessened significantly. He can't help but smile happily.
"It's good, the snow has suddenly lessened, and you're saved this time."
Saved my ass! If you pull me out like this, I'm as good as dead!!!
Looking up at Lyon, who is wearing large goggles and still smiling warmly as if he's done something great, the unlucky Snow Maiden takes a deep breath. With a cold, stern gaze, she shouts:
"Let me go, human!"
"???"
"I am the Winter Spirit, the Snow Maiden enthroned in this snowy mountain! I can summon blizzards at will! If you let me go, I can..."
"It's nothing..."
Lyon looks at this silly woman with pity, shakes his head slightly, and doesn't bother with her frozen state. Instead, he and the tail-wagging dog each pull one side of the sled.
"I'm not lying! I really am the Snow Maiden!"
"Yeah, yeah, I believe you, I believe you."
"If you believe me, let me go!"
"I'll stop when we reach the foot of the mountain."
"Damn it, you still don't believe me!"
"I believe you, why wouldn't I?"
Lyon sighs and looks towards the faintly visible mountain camp at the foot of the mountain. He puts the sled rope on his shoulder and starts walking downhill, taking deep steps in the snow.
"Forget about the Snow Maiden, if you say you're the Snow King, I'd believe you... By the way, do you know that song?"
"Wh... What song?"
"You love me, I love you, Sweet Ice City, Sweetie Sweetie~"
"..."
Damn, I'm such a good person, pulling a crazy woman down the mountain and even singing to her along the way!
"Help! I'm not going down the mountain! Help! People will die! Help!!!"
