Chapter 39: The Snow Witch (1)
The billowing cold air, as if summoned from hell, suddenly swirled and contracted inward, suddenly condensed and solidified, and the body that wrapped the black-haired knight suddenly froze into solid ice, and instantly frozen him in the lake. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the darkness, wisps of transparent bubbles slowly swelled upward, floating above a white figure, and as it moved around the ice.
As if wanting to observe its prey up close, the lake monster slowly approached the ice, and as soon as its gaze met the figure, it felt a shiver coming from its own skin, a sense of crisis that it had never had.
Are's eyes suddenly rose to look at it, and with a loud bang, the lake monster felt that his vision was scarlet. The other party's eyes seemed to shoot a strong light at this moment, followed by its head like a thunderbolt, and its head was full of burning black and red flames.
"Whoa!"
The lake monster let out a wail, its body springing up like a spring, and frantically swinging its limbs in an attempt to leave the source of fear that posed a deadly threat to it.
Spiritual power filled the icy lake like a spider's web, and Yalei's expression suddenly changed, and then the ice that bound him exploded entirely. The blood-red flames boiled the lake in an instant, turning into a tornado, chasing the figure of the lake monster and surging away.
Whoosh!
The palm that bloomed with a rich red light was placed first, with a clear arc of light, and slapped the back of the white figure.
At this moment, the lake seemed to stand still.
Bang!
The next moment, it was like a volcano and an iceberg colliding, accompanied by a loud bang, bursting out with dazzling brilliance, and in this brilliance, countless burning white fragments disintegrated and flew away, and then dissolved. The rich blood light reached the bottom of the lake, pouring everywhere like a monstrous wave, and everywhere it passed, the lake water turned into a huge amount of steam and filled the sky.
Hoohoo!
The people on the iceboat only saw Yalei's figure sink into the whirlpool, and then the lake lit up with a blazing red light, and a large explosion occurred, and the originally dark and cold lake water was boiled at once. They felt as if they were in a pot of boiling soup, boiling and tumbling, and the heavens and the earth were filled with churning hot steam.
The worst thing is that the iceship was also burned, but fortunately, Bruno took action, made all efforts to tinker, and made a lot of patches to avoid the end of the shipwreck falling into boiling water.
Just as Kara rolled up the column of wind to sweep away the white steam and clear the waterway, Yalei's figure jumped out of the lake, and the surface of his body was full of fire, and he immediately fell dry on the iceboat.
"Boss, it's done so quickly?" Kara knew that the lake had been packed when she saw that he had returned to the iceboat.
"What kind of monster is that, capable of dominating such a large lake?" Bruno wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and looked at him curiously.
"I didn't see it clearly, I was killed anyway. ”
When the black-haired knight saw them asking, he remembered that after he used his mental power to lock on to the figure of the lake monster, he broke it into pieces as soon as he made a move, and he didn't even remember the whole picture, and he suddenly felt a little regretful.
"Talking about my ship......"
He glanced at the iceship at this moment, and suddenly felt a feeling of discomfort, only to see that the hull of the ship had lost a lot of weight, and there were many large and small ice bumps in many places-no matter how you looked at it, it was eroded by flesh and blood, and the feeling of deformity all over the body.
"I did it!"
Bruno immediately took credit, his eyes lit up, and he had an expectant look of praise. He patched it for a long time and managed to turn the ice boat into an ice ghost ship, which was a little ugly, but at least it could still float on the water.
"Well done......"
Yalei looked at the other party's bright smiling face, and immediately swallowed the words of dissatisfaction.
......
Two days had passed since the crossing of Lake Garon, and it was already evening, and the whole team was immersed in the thick of the night. The surrounding scenery gradually turned into plains, and all along the way were barren and uninhabited, which made everyone feel a little strange.
"According to the map notation, there should be a small town ahead. Clark glanced at the map, carefully folded it, and tucked it into his arms.
"I've been marching for days, so I'll stay there tonight and spend the night. Although Yalei was anxious, he also knew that there was a reason for relaxation, and after two days in a row, it was time to rest for one night.
This sentence was not loud, but like a bomb, it caused an uproar in the ranks.
"Fantastic, I want a piping hot bath. ”
"I really want to eat pork. ”
"You're crazy, you're going to be beaten for mentioning pork here!"
The crowd quickened up and continued their march for about an hour or so, arriving at a remote town shrouded in ominous aura.
It's not just remote, it's weird, it's full of discarded furniture, and all sorts of dilapidated vehicles half-buried in the earth.
There is only a low bell tower in the center of the town, and only a few rows of wooden houses can be seen in the night. The team stopped in front of the only small building, and only here was the light and the door hung a wooden sign, which the interpreter said was the sign of the inn.
The shopkeeper was a shriveled old man in a white robe, and when he saw so many people at night, he was half frightened to death, and thought that he had been robbed, but it turned out to be a guest staying in the hotel, and he immediately smiled.
After the two sides negotiated the price, they chartered the entire second floor, the vigilance of the guard, the food of the food, and the bathing of the bath. The whole town has added a lot of popularity out of thin air because of their arrival.
While everyone was busy with their own business, Yalei was also accompanied by an interpreter, chatting with the shopkeeper and asking for information about the town. The sleepy-eyed shopkeeper didn't want to pay attention to him, but under the stimulation of two gold bars, he became a talkative chatter who answered all questions.
When the black-haired knight asks why the town is so deserted, the shopkeeper looks sad and takes a puff of his cigarette gun, recounting the events of this time in a wistful manner.
It is still within the confines of Faiyum, with abundant water and abundant products, and the town's ginning, cotton wool textiles, leather, and tobacco are all bestsellers, and the standard of living is quite good in the south.
Later, due to the frequent outbreaks of demons in the south, the imperial government stationed an army here, and the arrival of this army caused a serious conflict with the authority of the local religious leaders.
You must know that the religious system of Catholicism is a natural political, economic, and military center, and it is good in the short term, but in the long run, the secular government is very easy to be hollowed out. It's the same here, before the army was stationed, the local government was not even a puppet, just a piece of toilet paper that wiped their butts casually.
After the army was stationed, military control was immediately fully implemented, how could this group of big men stand it. Then, of course, all kinds of troubles, by inciting believers, finally made the high-level people feel that this place was completely negative equity, withdrew their troops and left, and chose another station.
After the army withdrew, strange things began to happen in the town, first the families lost their children inexplicably, and then someone encountered the Snow Witch at night.
The true God is above, when have those of them who are summer all year round ever seen snow, but after the Snow Witch appeared, every night was winter!
