Chapter 60: The Search
Just as Lena was finished, the frightened Shaya finally came to her senses, stretched out her hand, lifted the sand on the ground, and blocked the top of the four people's heads.
The spiky vines of the maple leaf pierced at it, making a muffled knock on the door, and Corona's lightning vanished the moment it touched the sand.
"Let's go!"
Taking advantage of this slight pause, Hongyan released a fireball that forced Maple Leaf back, shouted, and pulled Lucy to run, followed by Lena and Shaya.
Before they could take a few steps, their feet began to shake and arch, and the four of them, who knew that something was wrong, hurriedly jumped away, and several wriggling thick roots broke through the ground in an instant.
Not only that, but the roots of all the big trees in the entire forest began to break through the ground one after another, and it looked like the big trees had strange feet and wanted to move.
However, the huge trees did not really move, only their roots changed, perhaps because it was difficult to make vines in the forest, so the maple leaves had to be replaced by the roots of the big trees.
The thick, twisted and wriggling roots grew longer, forming a wriggling web across the forest floor, blocking all their path.
"Poor ......"
A strange voice sounded overhead, and everyone looked up, and the maple leaf was hanging upside down in the air like a spider in a spider's web, and her hair hung upside down, covering her face, which was very weird.
"Touch me......"
Another strange voice appeared behind Lucy at some point, and when the four turned in horror, Corona had already climbed onto Lucy's body with her hands.
"Ahhhh
With a "crackling" explosion and electric flashes, Lucy screamed wildly, and her body began to twitch uncontrollably, but she was hugged by Corona and couldn't break free at all.
The other three were also frightened by Lucy's terrible screams, and they were a little stunned for a while, and finally as the electric light disappeared, Lucy's screams also stopped abruptly.
Corona let out a pleasant smile and put her hand off Lucy, who was already paralyzed and had a drooping head, and the unconscious Lucy suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the places on her body that Corona had touched all became charred and smoky, not only her clothes were burned, but even the skin and flesh inside became charred and torn apart, as if she had been burned with red-hot charcoal.
Lucy's tragic situation caused another huge blow to the confidence of the other three.
Lena was also very torn at the moment, she had a way to leave, but she really didn't want to abandon the girls, and the two remaining girls thought the opposite of her, they were afraid that Lena would abandon them and abandon them in this place of death.
"I'm sorry...... Sisters of Icefield City. Holding Lucy, who was not dead on the ground, in her arms, Lena secretly made up her mind in her heart, "As long as there is a little hope, I will not give up!"
As she spoke, she put Lucy, who didn't know if she could be saved, on her back, and released all the magic she had left.
The wind howled, and a tornado connecting the ground and the top of the forest suddenly formed, and countless huge leaves were swept into it, and then quickly crushed into pieces, and the huge tree roots blocking the way on the ground were as if they had been cut by a high-speed rotating grinding wheel when they encountered the tornado, and the sawdust flew in all directions in an instant.
"Keep up with me!"
Lena gritted her teeth, controlling the giant tornado to wrap them in the middle and move together as she moved.
Laughing wildly, Maple Leaf and Corona continue to unleash thunder and lightning and vines at the tornado, but they are all repelled by the manic wind.
It was her last resort, and she knew her magic couldn't last much longer.
When his magic power is exhausted, I am afraid it will be the death period of the four.
"Wow, look, what a big leaf!"
Standing on the edge of the hanging basket, Elle excitedly pointed to a fluttering leaf in the distance.
Standing on the other side of the basket and pouring a soak of urine on the ground, Rafa turned his head and looked at the flying leaves, "It's really big." ”
"Even the leaf is that big, the tree that grows it must be bigger, right?" Elle reached out to the leaf, trying to set it on fire with her magic, but couldn't reach it.
"If only there were such a big tree near Icefield City, then we wouldn't be able to run out of wood, and maybe we could sell some of them. Speaking of big trees, Rafa wondered if the trees near Icefield should be cut down more slowly to avoid soil erosion in the future.
"Isn't Cole able to make trees bigger? The big trees in the backyard are what she grew in a day. Hedda picked up a loaf of bread and nibbled on it.
"I've asked her about this idea a long time ago, and she said that it is true that a tree can continue to grow bigger, but the bigger the tree, the more magic power is needed, and to become a tree with so many leaves, I am afraid that it will take a lot of magic like yours to do it. ”
"It's a pity that I can't lend my magic to any other witch except Arey. After two or three bites of bread, Hedda unscrewed a tin kettle designed by Rafa and made herself, and drank the water.
"It turns out that the magic power of the same kind of witch can be shared?"
Tightening the lid of the tin kettle, Hedda replied, "Not necessarily, each witch's magic is different, it's just that I'm close to Elle, which can be regarded as a kind of fate." ”
As she spoke, she placed her hand on Rey's shoulder, and the flying leaves in the distance instantly ignited, apparently Heda had enhanced Elle's magic strength and range.
"It's really funny. Rafa almost couldn't help but use a fire spell and throw a fireball to scare Heda.
"What's the foliage?"
Hearing Elle's doubts, both Rafa and Heddah looked into the distance.
In the distance, on the mountainside, a series of huge leaves were forming a queue, constantly fluttering in the air, as if they were blown up by a strong wind.
"It's already late winter, why are these leaves so tender?" Hedda had sharp eyes and immediately noticed the color of these leaves.
"And we haven't felt the strong wind at all these days......" Rafa suddenly thought of something and looked at the second daughter.
The three of them looked at each other, as if they had all discovered the problem.
Who else can produce a strong wind but the Wind Witch?
"Elle, go over and take a look!"
In fact, he didn't need to say it, Elle had already increased the flames and began to fly in the direction where the big leaves were fluttering.
Skirting the mountainside, a huge forest was conspicuous in front of me, which was obviously too much higher than the surrounding area, and any large tree in it was as thick as twenty or thirty people hugging each other.
Everyone knew at a glance that the leaves just now were floating away from here, but when they stayed above the forest with extremely high trees, the huge and dense leaves overlapped very irregularly, and it was impossible to see what was happening in the forest.
Although there is no trace of human existence, the strangeness of this forest is undeniable, the low trees around it are all yellowed or have lost their leaves, but this forest seems to have grown new, not only the trunk is very huge, and the leaves on the trees are very brittle and tender.
"I'll go down and have a look. ”
Although he couldn't confirm that Lena must be below, Rafa couldn't contain his curiosity and threw a bundle of rope attached to the hanging basket directly.
The rope stretched in a ball in the air, and finally straightened completely, and the end of the rope hung just a short distance above the Giant Tree Forest.
"Don't come down. With that, Rafa put on his iron gloves, grabbed the rope, and slipped down.
"Who's going to listen to you? Elle, hold on. ”
"Hmm. ”
After saying that, Hedda glanced at Rafa, who had already slipped quickly, and also grabbed the rope and jumped down.
Falling to the end of the rope, there was still some distance from the dense foliage below, Rafa didn't care, and jumped straight down.
However, judging from the feedback from the soles of the feet, even if you step on a dozen or so people, there should be no problem.
He was trying to find a place to go down into the forest, and Heddah landed firmly behind him.
"Okay, since you're here, then I don't have to look for it, just burn it. ”
"Burn what?" asked Heda.
Rafa pointed to his feet, "Burn all these leaves, of course, otherwise how can we go down?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fire not far away had begun to ignite, and a huge hole was forming.
