Chapter 28: Weather Changes
If five days ago, only Andrea could vaguely see the greenery of the sky, then now, five days later, even Xiang En can clearly see that the clouds are impregnated with a dark green color.
On the 46th day of living in the village, the two of them were ready to exercise as usual, but their eyebrows were full of worries that could not be dissolved.
After changing their clothes and walking out of the wooden house, the two of them were immediately slapped by the rustling cold wind, and when they looked at the sky after tidying up their hair that was blown messy, the dark green clouds of the early morning came into view.
"The clouds here still haven't faded......"
The sky above her head was getting greener and greener day by day, and Andrea remembered the painful experiences she hadn't forgotten, like the flood that destroyed the world, and the afterglow of high-level spells that glimpsed the surroundings of Graystone City.
Xiang En was the same, ignoring the strange feeling of the green on his head, and simply thinking of the events of the slaughter of the city and the village, he was unsettled.
Struggling left and right for a moment, the strange sky was like a devouring beast, and finally made him make up his mind.
"Pack your things, let's go to Greystone City!"
"Huh?" Hearing Xiang En's arrangement, Andrea was slightly stunned, "Now?" ”
"Yes!"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Andrea did not procrastinate, and began to pack all the things she needed into her backpack, and helped Xiang En pack up the totems that were relatively inconvenient to pick up.
In the process of packing up their things, the dark green sky began to blow a strong wind, not enough to blow people away, but the leaves in the forest were blown into the sky, a scene of wind and rain coming.
Xiang En carried five trap totems on his back, and four goat totems were also stuffed in the multi-pocket windbreaker, and the rest of the carved totems were left in the house, and if there was a chance, he could come back to pick them up later.
Bring food and jerky, pack a few extra bags of water, and carry two daggers with you.
Andrea, as always, carried a large package full of clothes and food, as well as enough water for two people to drink for three days.
Originally, she didn't want to bring so much water, but Xiang En had to bring it, and she could only let it go.
Carrying the big sword and going out, seeing that the sky was getting worse and worse, the two put on a beast skin cloak again, if it rained later, the cloak could block the rain.
The preparation was completed, and the nostalgia of the two was squeezed out by the inexplicably tense atmosphere, and there was no drag when they left, even if there were still many useful things that they didn't have time to take.
Sincere!
A trap totem was inserted by Xiang En at the entrance of the village, and after the two protruding horns of the trap totem connected a line of orange-red lightning like thunder and lightning, the totem slowly became transparent and disappeared in place, only Xiang En could see it.
This was the first time Andrea saw Xiang En's totem magic, and she was slightly amazed, but she didn't think much about it, and followed Xiang En away without saying a word, and her figure disappeared into the dark ghostly forest.
Rumble!
A hint of thunder gradually appeared in the dark green sky, and the accumulated clouds finally showed signs of rain......
In the dark forest, Xiang En held a parchment map found from the village chief's house in his hand, and his hands were emitting white light, using the most basic magic power to illuminate his vision to ensure that he could see the map clearly in the dim forest.
"Whew!"
The clear sound of wheezing and the sound of the body rubbing against the grass were very clear, and the visibility was less than twenty meters, which made Xiang En and Andrea gradually feel anxious, and their breathing began to increase.
The animals that live in the forest have sensed the trend of the coming storm, and at this time they have already taken refuge in their nests, which are eerily quiet, more and more like they have strayed into the Black Forest in some fairy tale.
Fortunately, the village was not far from Greystone City, and the two of them had run to the right place by mistake, and at the current speed, as long as they didn't get lost, they would be able to walk outside Greystone City in the afternoon.
The map is simple and easy to understand, with the exit of the village as the point forward, and there are a few traces of the villagers walking over the years to help the two of them show the way.
The two of them hurried away, neither of them spoke, and from time to time they looked up at the green sky.
They didn't even stop eating, because the dim sky had made the two of them lose their sense of time, and they had no desire to eat.
When it wasn't so green before, they thought it was a spell effect like the meteorite that fell that day in Graystone City, and it would disappear after a while, but they didn't expect it to get greener day by day.
Xiang En is sure that something bad is about to happen again, and the scope of the impact may be particularly widespread, maybe they can't take Andrea home, and they will die here......
But even if he would die, he wanted to try his best to figure out what was going to happen.
Two known places where the answer may be found, one is Greystone and the other is Deeyre.
De El City was at least five days' walk away, so they had to go to Greystone City for answers now.
After a long day of non-stop, the two of them finally entered a village near Greystone City through the gradually thinning woods.
There was no one in the village, but there were traces of a large number of people, and the wheels of the cars were almost pressing out of the drainage canals on the ground.
After walking forward for a while, when the two of them looked up, they could already see the Greystone City shrouded in a milky white magical glow.
Sure enough, this place is also protected by a magic shield......
The two finally reached the edge of the village woods again, but after being startled, they quickly hid.
Below the Greystone City, groups of people and horses gathered, most of them had a good evil aura on their bodies, and the swords in their hands were still stained with dried blood, and everyone's expressions were as languishing as if they had experienced a big battle, and they were quickly and orderly lining up to enter the Greystone City.
There were quite a few people in the long line, and all kinds of carriages were dragging a lot of large bags and small bags of things, and Xiang En guessed that those were food......
He also saw in one of the processions, some young women dressed plainly, being driven forward, a little unusual in a long line full of supplies.
Babble!
Just when the two of them were puzzled about the composition and purpose of this group, there was actually the sound of a person's messy steps in the forest on one side, and there was a faint sound of begging for mercy.
"Please...... Stop chasing...... I just want to go into town......"
Xiang En and Andrea glanced at each other, and the wordless tacit understanding made the two begin to retreat.
A trap totem was left in place, and Xiang En dropped the trap totem while retreating, leaving one at intervals, for a total of three.
The voices got closer and closer, but the two who were hiding had just seen a stumbling man, and something pierced into the man's body in the darkness, and then after listening to the cooing whimper, everything was calm.
Seeing this scene, Xiang En was a little anxious, the distance between them and the person who was killed was still more than ten meters, and regardless of the strength of the person who was hiding, he inserted a trap totem behind him, and then deliberately made some movements to lure the other party closer.
A branch was broken, and there was a slightly rapid breathing sound.
“?”
A figure who was about to leave stopped, turned to look at Xiang En's position, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Andrea, who was hiding beside Xiang En, had been looking at the blurred figure, and after seeing him disappear, she did not relax in the slightest, and continued to be vigilant, when suddenly she sensed the tendency behind her, and immediately turned around and blocked the big sword in her hand as a shield in front of her.
Poop!
After the piercing sound of gold and iron, Xiang En also reacted and quickly turned to look.
"It's you!"
The faint light shone through the branches and leaves, reflecting a face that was somewhat familiar to both of them, although they didn't know each other's names, but Xiang En and Andrea had only been hunted down by him not long ago.
Ace showed a hideous smile and stared at Xiang En, there seemed to be two flames erupting from his eyes, and he also recognized them, aren't these two the mage and his guards who bluffed before!
Every time he thinks of himself who ran back to the team in a panic at that time, Ace can't wait to go back to that time and cut the throats of Xiang En and the others!
The disappointment in the leader's eyes, and the mage's stinking smile, pierced his heart deeply.
This time, he met two people again, and he wanted to cut an equilateral triangle on their throats in the cleanest and neatest way!
The thoughts in my head turn back and forth, but in reality, time is just a reflection.
Just as Ace was about to jump back into the darkness and show off his mastery of killing skills, an abstract horned human face totem suddenly appeared in front of him.
There is also an orange-red lightning bolt above the horn, which looks quite strange.
"What is this?!"
Boom!
The totem exploded, and a magical force that hit the soul spread and spread, and Ace, who was facing the impact of the totem, was like a motion sickness patient who had been stuffed into a drum washing machine for two hours after sitting on a five-hour long-distance bus, and the uncontrollable dizziness made him lose his direction, and he fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
"Chop...... Hand! ”
What?!
Ace's drowsy brain was recovering rapidly, and when he understood the meaning of this sentence, a sharp pain came from his right hand holding the dagger, which made his dizzy brain return to some normal.
Just as he was about to scream uncontrollably, a handful of dirt was forcibly shoved into his mouth.
Sincere!
Stuffed Ace's mouth full of dirt, Xiang En inserted a trap totem next to his head, and then swung his fist with all his might, smashing it into the bridge of Ace's nose.
Ace's eyes showed a look of fear, looking at the "weak" fist, and the strange totem that flashed orange red light in front of his face, shaking his head desperately and struggling, he had lost his original anger, and only fear was left in his heart, like a lamb to the slaughter.
The bridge of the nose was hit firmly by Xiang En's punch with all his might, and one punch after another, even if the mage's physical fitness was not as strong as that of the assassin, the effect of the heavy blow made Ace cry in pain, and his eyes were full of stars.
At the same time, Andrea raised her greatsword again and slashed at Ace's snaring legs with all her might, her red eyes reflecting the joy of joy.

"Woo woo woo !!"
