In the mist-shrouded swamp, heavy footsteps could be heard. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

It took some effort for Roland to pull his feet out of the one-foot-deep mud and onto the dry highlands, feeling like he had returned from hell to earth.

He turned around and grabbed the female ranger's soft and helped her out of the quagmire. The next person he pulled ashore was Nikita. Miss Mage was so tired that she was about to collapse after coming ashore, and if it weren't for Roland's repeated dissuasion, she would not hesitate to spend precious spell slots to teleport directly through any door, saving her long journey in the mud and almost exhausting her already insufficient physical strength.

Veronica whistled and looked relaxed, stepping through the mud like a dragonfly, with slight ripples under her feet, not even a trace of mud on her shoes. Her superb agility and ninja class expertise give her a unique advantage in light skills, and it is a bit difficult to tread water without a trace, but it is a leisurely walk across the mud.

Contrary to the easy situation of female ninjas, wading through the mud in heavy armor was a nightmare for Bloom, who was dragged up to the ground by Roland and immediately sat on the ground panting for air, covered in mud from the knee down. After resting for a while, I realized that one of my boots was missing, and it took a lot of effort to get it back.

Tonya was the last to go ashore. Brown bear Misha worked hard along the way, carrying her mistress across the mud, and did not make Tonya suffer a little, so that Lyudmila and Bloom were very envious.

Black Hawk was equally loyal to her master, but her size and strength were not enough to be a mount, let alone Bloom's boar, whose eyes lit up with excitement at the sight of the mud, and left her master alone, and rushed in with a snort, rolling on the ground with merriness and mud.

After the break, Nikita regained her energy and used a "magic trick" to clean up the mud on herself and her companions, and looked back at the lizardman who was still hovering in the mud, and suddenly became angry.

"Look at what kind of road you brought with you, it almost caused us to be swallowed by a crocodile, I have to suspect that you are not at ease!"

Gusinsky also looked helpless. He really didn't mean to take everyone into the ditch, and the reason for this unexpected situation started with the oil painting in Jinna's bedroom.

The teleportation array is set in an oil painting, which depicts a mist-shrouded island, a hut built on the eastern highlands of the island, looming in the mist, where Agnes lives.

Gusinski, who used to teleport with Kinna, knew how to activate the spell, but didn't know the technical details of using the teleportation circle - you had to stare at the painting while the circle was moving, and imagine yourself being transferred to the hut to complete the teleportation accurately.

Gusinski ignored this step, and as a result, he and Roland successfully teleported to the Isle of Mist, but the exact location was random. The seemingly small island on the screen actually covers an area of more than 1,000 acres, and the terrain is high in the east and low in the west, and they happen to be transported to the western lowlands, and they have to cross a large crocodile-infested quagmire to get close to the eastern part of the island where the ghost woman's hut is located.

Tonya found that Gusinsky had no intention of going ashore, and immediately became alert, and scolded him with a cold face: "If you don't hurry up and lead the way, what are you still rubbing!" ”

The lizardman scratched his head and muttered uneasily, "I hate this hellish place, and since I've sent you to Agnes' doorstep, even if I fulfill my promise, the next thing is your business, and I have nothing to do with it." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Gusinski, it's ridiculous for you to say that, we're just a bunch of passers-by, and you're the head snake of the swamp, so who would be better off getting rid of Agnes?" Veronica sneered, her eyes revealing a convincing magic, "We work together to get what we need, if you don't want to do your best, then it's better for the first brother in the swamp to be replaced by someone who is more honest and reliable." ”

Gusinsky was persuaded by her without any suspense, and had to barely restrain his fear of the old ghost woman, and went ashore to lead the way.

Roland followed, walking lightly through the humus-filled mist and climbing up the island's highest hill.

Perched on a hill, a magical cottage at first glance looked like an ordinary wooden building, with straw roofs, smoke rising from chimneys, moss and mold on the walls, and closed doors and windows.

Roland's gaze shifted downward, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

The hut has no foundation, and at the bottom is a pair of lower limbs that resemble chicken feet, the knee joints are bent back, and a pair of powerful chicken claws cling to the ground, smoothly carrying the hut above.

"That's Agnes' hut? It looks so weird. Lyudmila commented with a frown.

"Outsiders may find it incredible, but in fact, most of the witches in the swamp like to live in this kind of 'chicken foot hut' made of magic, the chicken feet are like stilt buildings, when the water level rises, the hut can be prevented from being flooded, and they can also walk freely under the control of their owners, carrying the hut to migrate through the swamp." Tonya explained.

Bloom's eyes widened in surprise: "Hearing you say this, this chicken foot hut is like a living thing, if we get close, will it take the initiative to attack?" ”

Tonya pondered and said, "I don't know if the chicken foot hut has life, the knowledge of creating this special building is a secret of the ghost women, and it can only be shared by joining their battle group, but I heard Valentina teacher say that the more powerful the ghost woman, the more functions the chicken foot hut creates, and of course the house is indispensable for defense." ”

"In the Arcane Age, there was a mysterious witch kingdom, where many ghost women, spirits and witches lived, and they all worshipped an old woman named Baba Yajia, she was the king of witches and ghost women in all planes of the multiverse, a legendary powerhouse who was immortal, and the gods and demon kings also gave her three points, it was she who invented the world's first chicken foot hut."

"Legend has it that Baba Yaga's hut is fused with a half-plane, the internal space is extremely vast, she has placed a golem army as a guard in the house, equipped with magic crystal cannons, equipped with multiple puzzle locks, the hut not only runs freely, but also can turn the window into wings to fly in the air, and even be able to teleport to the other world, enter and exit any plane of the multiverse at will, if a world has a legend about witches, then it is most likely because Baba Yaga has been here."

"Baba Yaga? I've admired this old lady for a long time. "Roland has heard of the legend of Baba Yaga on Earth, she often appears in Slavic mythology, sometimes as an evil witch who eats children, sometimes as an old urchin who likes to play pranks but also helps heroes, and in some board game canons she is the upper limit of the legendary level - the gods are not necessarily stronger than her, the ones who are stronger than her must be the gods.

As for demons and demons, except for the Demon Prince Demogorgen and the Lord of the Nine Hells, Asmodeus, the other Abyss Lords and the Grand Duke of Hell may not be her opponents. In fact, the 23rd lord of the bottomless abyss, the "King of the Frost Giants" Koschurch, was once her defeated subordinate, and the legendary witch Igwehr, who was keen to spy on the privacy of the demons, spread lace news, and personally imprisoned the "Black Lord" Grazt for centuries, is her goddaughter, which shows that the strength of this old woman who is both good and evil is unfathomable.

"Ah, that's a long way off......," Tonya smiled apologetically, "Agnes' hut certainly can't compare to Baba Yaga's, it doesn't fly or have a cannon installed, as long as it doesn't run away." ”

When Lyudmila heard her say that the chicken's foot hut would run away, she immediately remembered the missing children in the valley village, and proposed to Roland that the troops be divided into two ways: the others feinted outside to attract Agnes to come out and negotiate; She herself crept into the chicken feet hut to rescue the kidnapped children.

"This can do both, otherwise Agnes will order the chicken's feet hut to run away when the situation is not good, and those children will probably never have a chance to see the light of day again." Lyudmila was worried.

Roland glanced at his giant sister and stopped talking. He was always touched by her kindness, but she didn't seem to think that the children who had been kidnapped by Agnes might have been eaten by her.

Perhaps Lyudmila knew that this was more likely, but she was not willing to give up even the slimest hope, and only wanted to save the poor children.

Tonya looked at Roland and then at Lyudmila, savoring the mixed feelings of the two from the silent atmosphere. Lyudmila is probably the only friend in her life who has truly treated each other, not only because of the pure kindness of the female rangers, but also because they share a similar philosophy, full of awe and love for nature.

Since Lyudmila put the rescue of the children in the first place and did not hesitate to risk it alone, Tonya felt that she had a greater obligation to do her part for the village of the Valley, so she said to Roland: "As far as I know, Agnes has a habit of always eating the original prisoners after catching new prey, and last night she planned to use me to catch the children, but you stopped her, which means that she may not have time to hunt the children again, so it is very likely that the original missing children are still alive, and Mira's suggestion is worth trying." ”

"That's good news." Roland groaned and said to Lyudmila: "It's okay to divide the soldiers into two ways, but you have to be with me, you have a specialization in the art industry, and Ronnie is more suitable than you to infiltrate the chicken's foot hut as an agent." ”

Lyudmila pondered for a moment, and had to admit that Roland was right, so she lent her "wandering blade" to the female ninja and told her to be more careful.

Veronica and Roland worked together to settle down the tactical details, cast ninjutsu into invisibility, and set off from the other direction to go around to the back of the chicken foot hut, quietly waiting for the opportunity to sneak in.

Roland and the rest of the group were still led by Gusinski, approaching the Chicken's Feet hut from the front.

"Come out, Agnes! I have something to tell you! Tonya shouted outside the hut door.

"Huh...... My lovely daughter, welcome back to mom again. ”

With an eerie and hoarse laugh, a terrifying figure emerged from the void.
