Today, we continued to proceed towards our destination the entire day. This is good, very good.
If you want to go fast, even if it's a short distance, it's best you proceed the entire journey without rest.
In our case, we haven't stopped even once since the beginning.
It's difficult to spar daily under such situations. Due to our body size, we are in a rather tight space to do so.
Thus, we decided to remodel the roof of the [Great skeleton centipede] especially for this purpose
While it's not possible to have a spar with the other members up here, muscle training exercises are still possible to a certain degree.
After trying to exercise here, this place was surprisingly pleasant.
The wintry cold air cooling down your heated body after a training session feels great. The surrounding scenery continues onward every moment, a good reminder that we're on a journey. During our training session, we came upon grasslands with uneven elevation. But the [Great Skeleton Centipede] was able to push forward all the same.
Snow was pushed off to the left and right from the explosive momentum, with the same amount of snow being blown up in air and flowed back behind us, yet the [Great Skeleton Centipede] didn't lose any speed.
ED Note:Someone please help me check the last paragraph. I think I nailed the meaning, but I may have worded it incorrectly. russian translation said the Great Skeleton Centipeded left a trail in its wake, but I interpreted the google translation as what you see above.
PR: i made a slight spelling change other than that you got it! Zak note: Added part with snow being blown up, which make next line more in context.
Falling snow glistened by reflecting the bright sun.
When passing by the shores of the ice-covered lake, I saw a beautiful women wearing a silvery blue robe at the center of it. It was a [Nymph], or at least that's what it looked like.
Even a quick glance at her from a distance would have been sufficient to pass her for a beauty. Any closer and you would have involuntary be fascinated. getting too close to her and you would have been killed by her by drying you up.
ED Note:For the first part of the previous paragraph, the Russian translation made more sense, since the google one skipped straight from a quick glance at her in a picture to closing the distance between her. Once again, I'll need the raw to determine this. "seems good enough, makes sense."
She also seemed to notice that I was looking at her, but by the time that happened, I was long gone.
After that I noticed figures made of snow: a [Snow golem] and flocks of [Snow eaters]
Snow eaters are a kind of earthworm type monster with a blue crystalline body 50 centimeter in length and feeds off the mana stored inside the bodies of snow golems.
They don't hunt anything else other than snow golems, but in order to protect themselves while they feed on the snow golem, they would spread gas in a few meter radius around the snow golem that freeze everything. When this happens, you need to be extra careful.
The freezing gas is very similar to liquid nitrogen, and usually, you would only notice its presence when you made contact with it and be harmed by it. Apparently, there are unfortunate cases where someone had been frozen alive after being directly exposed to the gas. But since [Snow eaters] are extremely vulnerable to fire, as long as you take proper caution, they're not that much of a threat.
While realizing that there are many more interesting things in this world, we continued to proceed to our destination.
