Chapter 397: Wetlands
Chapter 397:
"Secret passage?"
Freya raised an eyebrow and walked over to Ron, looking at the seemingly bottomless passageway.
Gusts of cold wind came from inside, and it looked like the air was flowing well.
"Yes." Ron nodded. "Although this secret passage is a bit detoured, it is much safer than the previous ones, and I have walked this secret passage many times without any problems."
"Alright then, you're the guide, you have the final say." Freya agreed.
The two have world-class contract guarantees, and generally no one breaks them.
And she wasn't much interested in knowing what Ron had said.
Here, Freya has seen too many strange things.
If I'm not mistaken, the Red Forest Scar must have been an ancient battlefield at one time, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many unbelievable things.
Even, Freya felt that the Red Forest Scar, which was overlapped by the world, was already on the edge of the wizarding world and was about to be separated.
Hearing Freya's agreement, Ron walked directly into the passage first.
Then Freya followed.
After the two of them entered the passage, the square lid was immediately closed, and the passage was pitch black for a while.
'Smack! ’
With a crisp sound, an orange-yellow flame was summoned by Freya in front of them.
The orange-yellow firelight illuminated the surroundings, and the two of them spun down the stone staircase at their feet.
After walking for five or six minutes, the stone staircase disappeared, and the two came to a huge cave.
The top of the cave is a hanging stalactite. Next to it is a wide underground river.
The river rattled softly, and there were strange creatures glowing with white light faintly inside.
Freya looked into the distance along the river, and the cold wind was blowing in the dark cavern, and it didn't look like a straight path, I don't know how Ron found it.
As he walked, Ron in front of him said suddenly.
"Put out the flames, there will be some attacking creatures in this river once in a while, and try to keep it quiet."
Without speaking, Freya waved her hand casually, and the flames in front of her were suddenly extinguished.
With the eyes of a king snake, she has the ability to see at night. Summoning flames is just not adaptable.
As the flame goes out. The only sound in the entire cave is the slight footsteps of two people and the sound of the river flowing next to it.
Ever since entering the cave, Freya has had a special sense, as if something in the depths of the cave is whispering to her.
It's a wonderful feeling, as if it comes from the depths of your heart. Let her look for something.
Freya knows. This is brought about by the blood of its own king snake.
She had this feeling before when she entered the Red Forest. But it's always vague, and you can't notice it if you don't pay attention.
And now it's becoming clearer.
'Estimated is the reason for the proximity. Freya thought faintly.
In the memory of inheritance, there are many appearances of the king snake. But there is only one king snake every time it appears.
The king snake is not a naturally evolved creature, but the embodiment of the rules of the world, and it can be said that the king snake has the truth of the wizarding world in its blood.
Even though Freya is not a real king snake in essence, as an inheritor, as long as she has the blood of a king snake on her body, then the rules of the world will breed in it.
However, this phenomenon can only be manifested in the inheritance memory of the wizard who condenses the second form.
There have been many inheritors of king snakes in the past dynasties, but most of them have only reached the end of the first form of condensation, and the specific reason is not clear.
And it is not for nothing that there are ancient wizards who have condensed the second form and reached the level of the true king, but there is no record of this in the inheritance, and Freya has never known about it.
However, the purpose of her coming here is to find out why.
Otherwise, it's too low to be just the first form.
Even though it was already unattainable for most wizards, it was too low for Freya.
The end of the Blood Eagle Lord's Wind of Annihilation is only at the Dawn Wizard level, and if she doesn't get an answer this time, then she may abandon the Blood Eagle Leader and choose to travel through many worlds in search of the power that will allow her to realize the idea she has in mind.
In the faint thoughts, a look of determination faintly appeared in Freya's eyes.
The two walked in the cave for a long, long time, and according to the crystal clock in their waist bags, it was already eight o'clock in the afternoon.
The underground river next to it grew wider and wider, until the road on which the two of them walked was only about two meters wide.
After walking for a while, the two stopped in front of a dented stone wall and decided to rest here for the night.
At this time, huge black shadows gushed out of the dark black river from time to time, and the spiky dorsal fin surfaced and slowly swam into the distance.
Freya, who had set up her tent, quietly walked to the river and looked down.
The shadows seemed to be black eel-like creatures, their eyes glowing with a faint white glow, like two white lanterns at the bottom of the river.
In Freya's senses, these creatures actually faintly carried a trace of ancient blood, as if they were species left over from ancient times.
After spending some time at the river, Freya took a fancy to a smaller, black eel that had fallen behind, and suddenly, she held out her hand.
'Wow-'
The sound of the river lapping was heard, but then it calmed down again.
Freya walked back to the tent with a half-meter eel in one hand.
The scales and entrails are simply disposed of with a dagger, and then they are thinly sliced and placed in a white porcelain plate.
I sprinkled some ingredients and forked a piece with a fork, the taste was spicy, and the meat tasted very strong.
Ron was now holding his two long swords and nestled in a concave stone wall, as if he had rested.
Freya glanced at the silent guide, ate briefly, and entered the tent, waiting for the vision of the overlapping worlds.
She didn't know if Ron was like her, but since that wilderness. Freya's nightly entry into that strange world was a daily routine.
It's just that, as time went on, the feeling of overlapping worlds never appeared.
Inside the tent, Freya on the bed suddenly opened her eyes and frowned slightly.
The familiar top of the tent, outside was the sound of the river, and there was not a trace of abnormality.
"Huh? What's going on? She frowned.
The entire Scar of the Red Forest being overlapped by the world was something that Freya had long been sure of, but now
After thinking about it, she got up and walked out of the tent.
The cave in the dark was not much different from the daytime, and Freya sensed her surroundings slightly, as if there was nothing but creatures in the river.
He groaned. She took some golden powder from her waist pouch and put it in her hand. Then he muttered a spell.
The powder in his hand quickly slid down his fingers, and flew in all directions as if he was being held up by something.
Immediately, Freya closed her eyes slightly, and with the blessing of the dust, her mental feeling was extremely real. Nothing seemed to escape her eyes.
Stand still for a long time. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. A faint golden glow flickered in his azure pupils.
Freya looked left and right, then walked to a hidden corner of the cavern, and kicked her foot hard.
'Bang!! ’
A dull sound came. A large crack in the stone wall suddenly appeared.
Seeing the crack in the web, Freya frowned slightly.
"There's something wrong with that level of sturdiness."
Although she didn't use all her strength, it wasn't just a simple phenomenon to get her foot down.
After a pause, she pulled out a black dagger from her waist and reached out to flick it on it.
'Ding'
A transparent ripple spread around the dagger, and then Freya slammed the dagger into the stone wall, and then pulled it abruptly.
'Hiss'
Large pieces of stone fell out, forming a half-meter-long crack in the stone wall, and a faint red mark appeared in the crack.
The trail was like crimson flowing magma, but it didn't have the slightest temperature.
Looking at the exposed red marks, Freya was slightly stunned, because she actually sensed a familiar breath of blood in it.
"What is this?"
She reached out and touched the red mark.
Suddenly, her long golden hair unconsciously turned turquoise, and her lower body faintly changed into the first form.
This strange vision made Freya's face solemn.
She tried to scrape off a little of the red stain powder with her dagger and put it in her hand.
The strange thing is that the powder in her hand slowly melted into Freya's palm, but her body did not have any rejection.
Seeing this, Freya's face changed slightly, and her eyes looked at the red marks in the crack in shock.
"Bloodline of the same origin, King Snake?"
Suddenly, she thought of what she had seen in the sky before, the two huge black mountains that meander, the tops of which were covered with slender red marks.
The red marks are radial, as if extending somewhere.
"Or maybe those two huge mountains are the body of the king snake?"
Freya looked up at the hard stone wall next to her, trying to find something.
But the stone wall of the cave has nothing special except for the red marks inside.
After a pause, she grabbed a fallen stone from the ground and shook it gently.
With a click, the stone cracked in half, revealing the lines inside.
Freya's eyes flashed with a faint green glow when she saw the lines.
"Sure enough, under the long river of time, the strong body has finally become something like a fossil, but the blood in it has remained, forming this natural phenomenon, no wonder it is called the Red Forest Scar, the end of these red scars extended, I am afraid it is the final place of the king snake."
She threw away what she had in her hand and looked into the depths of the cave.
And, thanks to the influence of these bloodlines, the signs of overlapping worlds do not appear here.
'Smack
A small voice suddenly sounded from beside her, and Ron didn't know when he was already behind Freya.
He thrust the two swords back into his waist and glanced at the red marks that appeared beside them.
"Looks like you don't need me anymore, do you?"
"Well, almost."
Freya turned her head, her lower body slowly twisting, and after a while, she completely transformed into a snake body in the form of a snake.
Feeling the strong blood aura emanating from Freya, Ron raised his head and looked up and down, two red lights in his helmet flickering slightly.
"Is this what you are? It's pretty good, in that case, then I'll go back, anyway, you've already determined the road ahead. ”
Without speaking, Freya just nodded quietly.
He was right, after completely turning into a form, the feeling that had been in her heart became more and more obvious, and this sense and the red marks of blood left by the king snake would guide her direction.
Freya was sure, and suddenly, a translucent piece of seemingly ancient parchment condensed in the air between the two.
The parchment is covered with dense text, and at the end is a goat's mark and a double sword pattern with two crosses together.
'Smack. With a thud, the parchment slowly shattered.
Freya felt as if something had disappeared from herself, and she knew that it was the fulfillment of the world contract.
Seeing the parchment dissipate, Ron turned around and walked in the same direction without his head.
Seeing his figure disappear completely into the darkness, after a pause, Freya turned her body and swam in the opposite direction......
Two weeks later.
Below the clear blue sky.
The dark green meadows are dotted with one round after another huge pools of water.
From time to time, there were some strange-looking huge creatures passing by the waterhole, and some birds flying by.
The wind blows gently here, with a hint of freshness.
In these many waterholes, you can faintly see red veins hidden in the ground.
These veins are intertwined and intertwined.
In the distance of the wetland, a large mountain range surrounds it, forming a concave valley shape.
'Hiss'
With a faint sound, Freya's figure slowly appeared in the valley wetland.
Her long green hair fluttered in the wind, and her green eyes narrowed slightly.
Through the wind here, she seemed to smell a faint fishy smell of seawater.
The memories of the King Snake inheritance gradually overlapped with this land.
Freya's gaze swept to the vibrant land, and then to the black mountains that seemed to fold up in the distance.
"This is the Stardust Field? So that's all that's left? ”
It was the body of the king serpent, and the meaning of the king of the forest made him return here moments before he died, and built his body into a mountain range to continue to guard the land.
The red veins beneath him seemed to tremble slightly because of Freya's arrival, like the heart of a king snake.
"Now that you've found this place, I hope you won't let me down."
Muttering softly, Freya swam to a nearby waterhole, the snake's eyes allowing her to clearly see the huge blood cocoons in the intertwined veins.
After a pause, she jumped directly into the pool with a 'poof'.
The waterhole splashed in a circle of waves, and then calm returned.
The green water split into two sides under Freya's manipulation, and the snake's tail swaddled her body towards the bottom of the pool. (To be continued......)
