Chapter 131: Camp
Fettis's guess makes the scalp tingle. Leaving aside the terrifying character of the legendary Thunder Giant, the sight and the associated effects of such a huge creature standing up from under the ground alone are already apocalyptic. Especially for the witches, if the resurrection of the Thunder Giant is already an unstoppable thing, then the Heartless Bay that they have worked so hard to manage will probably disappear from the map completely the moment the giant gets up. At that time, the decades of accumulation of the entire witch group will disappear in an instant.
"But this doesn't make sense at all, not to mention others, none of those guys who claim to be descendants of his bloodline have come back. The only thing we've been able to identify in the last ten years has anything to do with him is the totem worn by the captain of the Black Arrow. But that was only a gift, and he himself did not have the premise of using the way of totem. How could there not be a hint!" said Garyn with some excitement, her trust in Fitis made her naturally think of the latter's speculation as the most likely future, but such a future had many problems that plagued the young witch.
"Don't be nervous, dear. Fettis smiled and returned to Garyn's side and gently stroked the top of her head, which was a common way for Glenn to soothe her when she was a child when she lost control of her emotions, and only after Garyn's mood had stabilized a bit, did the warden continue, "I just made a hypothesis. This assumption may be true, but it is most likely wrong. What you say does make sense, and if he is going to recover, then there will be an omen. But, Garron, you have to know that we rule Heartbreaker Bay, but we never control it, and even if all of us keep watching this land with our magic, there will be unexpected oversights. That's because we're still humble individuals in nature, so if there's any sign that we've overlooked or missed, that's a matter of course. But it's okay, we'll just do what we can, and the big witch will take care of the rest. ”
Lothar and Fioni playfully chose to be wary of the darkness around them when the witches were talking. They didn't want to be hated by the always strong witch for seeing another side of Kalen. Even Peg hadn't seen much of Garren like this, and she had the impression that Garren had always been the leader of the younger generation of witches, even in the face of an unruly guy like Kiri, who could make her act without affecting the overall situation. Now it seems that it is probably not that Jia Lun was born with such ability, but she chose to be such a person, so she must get to know her peers who are similar in age to the leader of the witch group. This kind of thought made Peg unconsciously think of herself, is it because she has made a choice to get to where she is today?
The sound of "click" from the darkness interrupted everyone's thoughts. They looked towards the source of the sound, and of course all they saw was darkness. But gradually, a somewhat familiar smell began to approach in addition to the darkness, and the sticky and damp smell was all too familiar to several people. "Looks like these toads are pretty resistant to falling. Lothar sneered, his expression relaxed, but the fingers holding the tomahawk trembled slightly. The constant high-intensity exercise made the warrior tired, and it was not a good idea to fight the enemy again.
"Wait, don't worry. Fettis called out to the Count, who seemed to be thinking about something. However, Lothar didn't realize the witch's thoughts, he just understood the other party's words according to his own thoughts, "Don't worry, I'll wait for those things to enter the light before I do it." But I may not be able to stop them all, you protect the wounded. ”
"No, I guess what he means is that we probably don't need to do it anymore. Fioni patted Lothar on the shoulder and pointed his finger at the white marks on the ground not far away. There was the boundary of the light that phosphite could provide, and beyond the boundary of the salt grains, the ugly bodies of toad-like monsters could already be faintly seen, but they had no intention of rushing over.
"What's this, what's going on?" Lothar frowned, judging from the previous situation, these monsters were brainless and instinctually driven, and there was no reason why they would give up attacking.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that bone marrow itself should be wrapped in bones. The Kraken walked slowly to the salt line and tried to reach out, but a monster pounced quickly. Then Fioni jerked his hand back, and the monster crashed into an invisible wall that was flush with the white line, and all that fell to the other side of the white line was a cloud of clear water.
"But we've seen these things emerge from the bones before, how do you explain that?" and as the group slid down their backbones, they saw with their own eyes the viscous liquid that spawned toad monsters seeped out of the bones and then condensed into monsters.
"That means the bones we just saw are out of work. Isn't that subtle, right? The blood that has just come out of the human body can be used by other people, but once the blood is out of the body for too long, some of its properties will change, and even vampires will not suck the dead blood. And the same is true of the bones we just saw, no matter who they belonged to before, they have now turned into a backlog of various particles and have no function. But these ground powders are the opposite, they have lost their proper appearance, but they are still faithfully carrying out their mission. ”
"I've heard of this method before. It is quite common in shamanic witchcraft, and some shamans can drive the severed hands of the deceased to serve themselves, so those people like to hang air-dried human organs on their bodies. The situation we have in front of us, although different from the direct drive of an entire organ, is more or less the same principle. This shows that the security zone we have now is deliberately arranged. Because these spells don't last long, and usually the best wizards only last a few days, this is supposed to be a place where those people think of it as a camp or something. ”
"Who would camp in such a place, and where did they come from, and for what purpose?" Peg felt that the mission was getting more and more strange.
But the warden's tone was quite relaxed, "It doesn't matter who they are, where they come from, and what they are doing here." We can't get back through the entrance anyway, and if someone else enters, it means there are other exits. It's better than having us running around like flies without our heads. And since they've made and maintained this camp, we'll just have to wait here for them to come back. "For Fettis, battling a shaman is a much easier task than dealing with a toad monster. As the Warden of the Witch Colony, her prison used to house quite a variety of spellcasters, so if there was anyone in the entire Witch Clan who knew the most and the most about other wizards, Fettis would be at the top of the list.
"As for now, you little ones had better hurry up and get some sleep, your strength will not recover on your own. That Kraken over there, come with me, we need to see what's in this camp first. ”
