In fact, Jia Lun was not hurt much, and those toad monsters that were born in a hurry didn't seem to have a very good means of attack other than their weird appearance. They have neither sharp claws nor teeth, nor deadly venom, but only the gum that acts as both blood and saliva is more corrosive, and these viscous fluids have caused damage to the witch's clothing, while also leaving a lot of ugly marks on Karon's skin. It's no wonder that witches lose their minds when they are rescued, and anyone would be furious after being hurt like this.

Fortunately, as a group that understands the dangers of losing control of their emotions, the witch group has an almost cruel lesson on how young witches can control their emotions. When Jia Lun woke up again, she only frowned slightly, of course, this was also related to the strips of cloth that were bandaged on her body, and the lack of direct access to the injured skin eased Jia Lun's inner irritability. "How's the monster?" she said, rubbing her forehead and looking up into the darkness around her. Even if she didn't see and hear, the peculiar feeling between witches made her understand that Hela was here.

"The mountain monsters were in the hallway, and they seemed to be afraid of him. I think it should be fine for the time being, but the bad news is that all the runes you drew before they were activated were erased, do you have the materials to do that again?" Hela emerged from the darkness, she knew what the materials Garren used to cast spells, and the magically refined sea serpent fangs were obviously not the materials that the witches would have stocked up on at any time.

Sure enough, Karen shook his head, "No, my whip has been eaten by those damn things. And I doubt that just blocking the hallways can actually trap them inside. The guys who snuck up on me seeped straight out of the walls, and they should be able to appear anywhere in this fortress if they wanted to. ”

"But they don't, at least for now the rest of the fortress is safe except for the long level. The Crypt Maiden affirmed that her magic allowed her to have some kind of perception beyond her five senses, which made Hela sure that Toad Monster's presence was limited to the upper floors of the building.

"Is the tsunami already here?" said Karen with a suddenly unrelated question. But judging by the look on her face, the question shouldn't be inconsequential. Hela quickly understood that her companion's question was related to the second revelation she had been unspoken, so she closed her eyes and was silent for a few seconds before she spoke, "Not yet, but it's close." I think at this rate, it won't be long before we can feel it. Any questions?"

The short-haired witch sighed, "It was the mountain monster who saved me, which means that the gate has been sealed." Even if I report the situation here to the Great Witch now, I'm afraid there will be no response. It's terrible, and if we don't get in touch with our companions on the Damned Lady, either we or they will die. ”

"What did you see, what did the second revelation say?" Hela frowned, knowing that her companion had never been a man who liked to hang his head. It will make Jia Lun so pessimistic, and I think that the revelation must have revealed a very unfavorable future. And the witch hopes to know about it, at least until this future comes true.

Instead of answering the question directly, Karen relayed and mentioned another thing. "Remember the Great Witch's speculation about the purpose of this place?" Hela remembered, of course, that she had even asked the same question to the kid that Glenn had picked up not long ago. But the question had long been agreed upon among the witches, and she couldn't understand why her companions were bringing it up at this time.

"Of course. According to the research of the Great Witch and other veterans, this is supposed to be an abandoned ancient spiritual temple that was used to worship special corpses and other things, so it is both like a tomb and has a clear entrance. The bones or frescoes were not found because the builders took them with them when they evacuated from here. Or maybe the fort had been soaked in the sea for many years before it was discovered, so it was washed away and damaged. Hela told all the things she knew, and that's something every heartless witch knows, and it's not worth talking about it at all, unless, "Wait a minute, you're saying the Great Witch is wrong?

"Spirit Temple?" Jia Lun stood up, a complicated expression on his face, "Maybe it's not all wrong. But do you think there is a deliberately monster-producing mechanism in a temple? Even if it is used against intruders, it is too strange! Those monsters can't tell who is who, they only know how to pounce on the living. And, as a guardian, those things are so bad at attacking, aside from their ugly appearance and numbers, they are not as threatening as the farmer with a pitchfork. ”

"But how can you be sure that those monsters were put in when this place was built, the witch colonies have been studying this place for a long time, and we have never found these things to exist. They may have only recently crept in. Hela frowned, she didn't think that Garren's opinion was enough to overturn the conclusion of the Great Witch.

"Sneak in? Do you see how those things appear? They seep out of the walls! And I'm sure I'm sure if we tear apart the walls around us, the ground under our feet, we'll find the same liquid inside. It's just that they haven't woken up yet. Karen raised her tone a little to show her disdain for Hela's ideas. She stomped her foot as she spoke, as if trying to wake up the monster sleeping beneath the floor.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" said Hela, who couldn't stand her companion's hysterical words and actions, said directly.

Karen looked at his companion with wide eyes, surprised by the other's sluggishness, "What do I want to say? I want to say that no matter what we think of this place now, there is one thing that we and the Great Witch and the others misjudged! This place has never been abandoned! And now, its owner is coming back! Those monsters are a sign, and I can guarantee that the Great Witch must have a hunch about it, so she will order the recall of the people who went out at this time, she knows that to face the master here, we must unite all our forces!" And you and I, if we don't succeed in joining up with the Damned Lady, will be the first sacrifices of this return. ”
