BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189: Yetis (1)
In short, James or Ariel could not buy supplies or anything else.
Since James liked to be prepared, he still had hundreds of parcels of supplies in his inventory, but they would only be enough to feed over a thousand creatures for a while.
After the merger of the three villages, James planned to enter the mountain with the help of the dwarves to fence off the entire village and protect it. The dwarves would protect them until they had the necessary supplies.
Ariel stayed where the old elven village, the newly united community of villages, was and guarded it, while James guarded the mines.
"Master James, we have managed to extract 40% of the minerals we want, but we would like to stay here longer. If it is possible, we can move the mines further, and with more minerals, we can make the fortifications stronger and better serve those who will protect the village. We just need your approval."
The dwarf, the best miner under Luke\'s command, was leading the dwarves in digging the mines, and since James, the guardian, was the main decision maker, he needed to consult.
"We can stay here as long as you like, it could be days, go ahead and keep digging without thinking, but protect yourselves, we don\'t want you to be buried under the mountain," James said suddenly and the dwarf who heard this nodded, turned round and went back into the mines.
After only a few minutes the voices were heard again:
"CLINK!"
The sound of each digging hit the cave walls and travelled up the mines, creating a ringing sound in the ear.
"CLANG!!!"
The sound of the blows grew louder and louder, showing how fast and serious the dwarves were digging.
"CLATTER!!!"
With each stroke, James slowly began to realise the seriousness of the situation. Of course, he was serious to some extent, but the hard work of the dwarves seemed to indicate how much they wanted to protect the people of the village, and since he was to be one of the new owners of this huge floor, James had to come to his senses.
As James was filled with these thoughts he suddenly noticed several figures in the distance. These figures, perhaps two or three metres taller than James, were growing taller as they approached.
When James realised this, he suddenly brought out the holy sword Clarent from his inventory and then stood at attention.
"DO NOT LEAVE THE CAVE!" James shouted, and with that, the fences in front of the cave were instantly closed.
When James realised that the dwarves were safe, he slowly made his way through the snow. It was snowing heavily, but every snowflake that entered James\' aura field became water and fell on the snow on the ground.
It would certainly help to say that the snow masses around James were also slowly melting and evaporating.
As James began to approach the beings, he realised that Narbeth\'s \'Frost Giant\' statement was completely false.
He had never encountered these beasts before, but he had read about them in the imperial library of the Empire of the Sun.
"Yetis," James said suddenly.
Each of the yetis was almost 8 or 9 metres taller than James, indeed it would have been quite normal to see them as giants, and if they didn\'t have the name Yeti they certainly deserved the name Frost Giant.
They stood with crimson eyes and white fur, their hands and feet were greyish, and the thickness of their fur seemed to explain how they survived in the cold.
With almost fifty metres between him and the yetis, James took a deep breath.
James was fast, his greatest advantage over the larger figures was his speed, not counting his abilities.
It was precisely because of this that he suddenly lunged forward. The holy sword enveloped Clarent in its aura, and then, cautiously, he began to run towards the nearest yeti.
Each of the yetis saw James running towards them and rushed forward to attack.
James, of course, was not going to be knocked down.
As soon as he rushed forward and started to close the distance, the yeti closest to him suddenly attacked. The yeti raised its hands to the sky, and then, joining its hands together, swung them to hit the ground.
James leapt into the air at that very moment and avoided the yeti\'s attack with a leap of almost 10 metres.
Swinging Clarent, the holy sword covered with his aura, James separated the huge yeti\'s huge head from his body in just a second.
"thud."
When the huge head fell to the ground, it landed on the snow mass in a place where James\' aura did not reach, and the snow absorbed all the sound and eliminated the frightening image.
James stepped on the shoulder of the yeti, which had started to fall towards the ground because it refused to fall to the ground, and then almost flew towards the yeti that was furthest away from him, almost 60 metres away.
In just three seconds, the holy sword Clarent had plunged into the yeti\'s heart and James had fallen to the earth and waited under the hot blood splattering from the yeti.
When the yeti\'s body fell backwards, this time the snow mass could not swallow the sound and a huge sound rose to the sky:
"THUD!!!"
James, covered in blood, looked towards the other six yetis around him and said the following words while he seemed to have no emotion in his eyes:
"You all are a hundred times weaker than I thought. Pathetic."
