Summer Night Autumn Rain, having exhausted all his spell slots in the previous battle, chose to return with the main team for a long rest, leaving only the trio to venture into the depths of the Kalka Mountains.
This mountainous region, located north of Stormy Ridge, was rarely visited by humans and was filled with countless legendary tales. Stories about giant evil snowmen that sucked out brains, the wailing Polar Night Demon Tower, and the ghostly shadows on the snow were widely spread across the Northern Countries.
"Hoo—"
The cold wind howled past, coating the rocks with white frost and bringing a chill to the valley.
"Damn, this... this place is freezing."
Mantou shivered, exhaling white puffs of breath from his nostrils.
"Serves you right for not preparing in advance."
Xin Dog took out a blue potion and tossed it casually to Mantou. It was a potion for cold resistance, made from magical herbs that grew underground, quite a rare potion.
