With a slight rustling sound, the thick woolen curtains with excellent sound insulation were pulled to one side, and the early morning sun shone through the glass windows into the spacious carriage, and the soft light added a touch of sultry charm to Miss Mage's sleeping position.

As if sensing the light outside the window, Nikita's long, upturned eyelashes fluttered slightly, and before she could open her eyes, she stretched her hands and feet and yawned heartily.

Roland sat sideways beside Miss Mage, staring at her face with a smile, amazed at how elastic her little red mouth was, and almost doubled in the moment of her yawn.

Nikita raised her head sleepily, inadvertently saw Roland's smiling face, instinctively covered her mouth, hurriedly turned her head, and warned hatefully: "Don't look at it!" ”

"What's not to see?" Roland was both confused and amused. As far as she was sleeping stupidly, she watched it for most of the night yesterday, and there was nothing to hide.

"Don't you know that women are the ugliest when they wake up? The man who peeks at the woman getting up is the most annoying! Nikita was annoyed.

Roland's face was blank, "I really don't know this...... Actually, it's not ugly, maybe it's because it's not very good-looking? ”

"You're begging to fight!"

Nikita turned her head sharply, her momentum was as fierce as a tigress descending a mountain, and her pink fist was like a windmill, and she threw more than ten punches in a row before she lost her breath, covering her face and turning away from him. It wasn't until he performed the 0-ring trick "magic trick" to quickly wash up, took out a small mirror and a small comb to straighten out his unkempt hair, and reorganized himself fresh and beautiful, that he turned around and asked Roland: "What time is it?" ”

"It's past ten o'clock, you prepare today's spell first, and then eat something."

Nikita got up after freshening up and got up, and with a meek hum, she closed her eyes and went into meditation, preparing for the day's spells in the morning light.

It was almost seven o'clock when Nikita finished preparing the spell, took the ham sandwich and black tea handed by Roland, and looked out the window as she ate.

"Uncle Matthew, where are we?"

"We're about to get to the fork in the road, do you want to go in any direction next?" The gray-sidedness driver asked.

"Which direction are we going next?" Nikita asked Roland, suddenly remembering what he said yesterday, and hurriedly added, "If you are going to Storm Cliff to hunt the 'Emperor of Peng Birds', you should choose the road to the northwest." ”

Roland thought about it for a while, and finally decided to move forward according to the scheduled itinerary.

The carriage turned northwest at the three-way intersection, and Roland opened the map to see it.

"Are you worried about something?" Nikita could see that he had something on his mind.

"I'm a little worried, for fear that someone will be ahead of me if I'm one step late." Roland sighed softly.

"You said yesterday that our speed of travel will not be much slower than those trialists who descended in the mountains, why are you worried now?"

"Yesterday I only considered the usual situation, but I ignored a special case, a person to be precise, who had chosen the same hunting target as us, and the situation would have turned against us very badly." Roland's face was solemn.

Nikita thought for a moment realized what he was worried about, "Are you Vera?" She can fly long distances on a Thunderbird faster than the carriage we ride! ”

Roland nodded, "Vera is the only one of all the trialists who has the ability to fly long distances, we are going to Storm Cliff now, and the chance that Vera will also fall on Storm Cliff is one in five, I hope this small probability event will not happen." ”

Nikita looked out the window again, and the towering Stormstorm Bluff had appeared at the end of the horizon, a group of black spots hovering around the cliff, seemingly many large birds, which made her inexplicably flustered.

"I've prepared a 'Advanced Exploration Technique', so I can take a peek at where Vera is now, so that I don't feel unsure."

"Your spell slots can be saved, so I'll do it."

Roland is now also able to cast the 7-ring Advanced Exploration Technique, and after a brief spell preparation, he targets Vera's Thunderbird instead of herself. This is done considering that Vera is a master of the Confusion Control School, not only is her will immunity very high, but she may also be blessed with a spell to prevent detection, and it is very likely that she will be detected by peeping, compared to the success rate of peeping at the Thunderbird. Anyway, Vera is always with her Thunderbird, and it's the same when it comes to people and birds.

Successfully performing the "Advanced Exploration Technique", Roland felt that his vision was stretched to infinity. This wonderful feeling is not unfamiliar to him, and he also has the same subtle visual stretching when he used to perform "remote vision" or "dimensional hand".

Clouds of thunder and lightning appeared in his field of vision, and the silhouette of a bird was faintly visible. The Advanced Exploration Technique can add all of the caster's senses, so Roland can clearly see not only the Thunderbird hovering in the clouds, but also hear it chirping, which is high-pitched and full of murderous intent, clearly demonstrating.

"Thunderbirds are fighting hostile creatures......" Roland told Nikita about what he had seen, and a bad premonition arose in his heart, there are not many monsters on the Rubik's Cube Island that can fight with Thunderbirds in the sky, which is not good news.

As if to test his hunch, a flock of strange birds appeared in the magical vision created by the "Advanced Exploration Technique". The birds were about ten feet long from head to toe, and their awl-like beaks were almost as long as their torsos and covered with sharp serrations. However, the strange birds did not take the initiative to attack the Thunderbird with its long beak as sharp as an arrow, but twisted its body, flapped its wings at high speed, swam in the air in a strange posture, and after approaching the Thunderbird, it shook its butt violently, and shot a beam of energy from its tail that resembled an electric wave, attacking the Thunderbird from a distance.

The Thunderbird "Zuode" itself is a master of manipulating thunder and lightning, and is completely immune to this kind of electric shock attribute rays, but it is not in a hurry to kill those strange birds, driving the birds to a pile like a cat playing with mice, and then suddenly opens its mouth and spouts a large cloud of dense fog, instantly drowning the birds.

The strange bird fell into the "heavy fog technique", as if deep in the mud, desperately flapping its wings to try to get rid of the heavy fog shackles.

"Zuode, well done!"

With a familiar laughter, a female mage dressed in a cyan sexy robe suddenly broke into Roland's field of vision, holding a staff inlaid with a large piece of jade and pointing at the flock of birds shrouded in the "Heavy Mist Technique", and the "Group Suggestion Technique" was quietly released.

Roland closed his eyes, there was no need to look at the rest of the scene.

"We're really out of luck, Vera is at Stormstorm Cliffs right now."

"Damn it! We've been running out of bad luck today! Nikita swallowed her frustration and asked Roland with a glimmer of hope, "Has Vera already submitted to Emperor Peng?" ”
