Chapter 435: Something Strange in the Desert
The northern gate of Sand Eagle City was attacked, and the heavy wooden door with iron-clad edges was already open, and the iron-clad bolts that needed to be moved with iron locks and hinges were all split in half.
On the city walls, the guards lay to the ground covering their bleeding wounds, and under the walls, people with weapons of all kinds retreated, their bodies covered in charred black. Even the crossbow that was attached to the city wall had been destroyed by something, and a thin layer of frost applied to the fracture of the wooden frame as if by some kind of magic.
Rosalena floated above the city gates, staring coldly at the charred open space outside the gates.
A camel neighed in horror and two figures jumped out of the cart pulled behind the camel. As soon as they jumped, the camel pulled the cart and fled. The dwarf human girl pulls the young maiden, who holds an ice-blue short bow in her hand.
"Stand back!" the maiden shouted in a majestic voice, and the three men in front of the city gate immediately retreated.
The quick reaction speed should be a trained human.
"That woman isn't here......"
Glancing at them lightly, Rosalena said slowly. The woman she had broken into her room was a dark-skinned Quiling woman, but none of the attackers in front of her were dark-skinned. Rosalena was a little irritable, she had planned to take the mirror back.
Sensing the aura of Origin Magic appearing in the north, Rosalena immediately rushed over with spatial magic, thinking that the woman had fled to the door and was about to break out. There was no woman here, and no Fire Magic Mirror she had lost, but—
"Wizard, it has nothing to do with that woman anyway. Rosalena snorted. A circle of fire appeared around her, the flames were not large, but they were unusually bright, and even the night sky was illuminated by the firelight, dyed a strange red.
Ivan, Isha and Carlo retreated to Nalle and Daphne, the red witch above them giving people the hallucination of the heavens falling apart.
They had also come face-to-face with the Ice Witch Sloth before, but at that time, Slos wanted to hide himself. Trying his best to suppress the magic he emanated. But this witch has no scruples.
The majestic magic that was completely undisguised was like a heavy mountain pressing down on their heads. And it's a volcano that's about to erupt. Ivan had a hunch that if this witch unleashed her magic power, it would be a catastrophe even more terrifying by the eruption of the volcano. The witch hasn't done it yet, maybe it's because the witch wants to catch Xiulin. Maybe it's just because ...... I'm bored and want to see the dying throes of my prey.
"Yi. Ivan. She ......"
Aisha's voice trembled. Aisha's perception of the Origin Magic was the strongest among them, and he must have been under the pressure of even more powerful magic, and Ivan held the Sword of Phantom Light in both hands. He didn't let go to shake Aisha's hand, just nodded.
“...... That's great. ”
Surprisingly, Aisha actually breathed a sigh of relief, raised the two pistols, and stared intently at the dazzling figure of the witch, "She hasn't found Sister Xiulin yet, Sister Xiulin should be fine?"
After Xiulin left alone, Daphne parked the camel cart in the hollow under the cliff as agreed.
This place looks very dangerous, and the rocks above it stick out as if they are about to fall, but it is not easy to be spotted, and it is also sheltered from the wind and rain, so it is still a good place to hide. While the red light of the western sky has not faded, you can set up your tent as much as you can, and stay overnight as you did a few days ago.
Carlo stood silently. A few days ago, he would take the initiative to set up a tent, but today he stood motionless, facing the direction of Xiulin's departure. Devany didn't call him either, she knew that this serious man was Xiulin's partner, and she didn't worry about her partner's safety...... Young people can't do it yet.
"It's not far from Sand Eagle City. ”
Smiling softly, Daphne walked over to Carlo's side, "If you can't be sure, go and see, with Mr. Afield and Miss Trande here, I have no problem." ”
Carlo turned his head and looked at Daphne earnestly.
"I believe in Xiulin's strength. He solemnly pointed it out, "Your situation may be more dangerous, and you should be vigilant." ”
"Hmm...... Possible. Devine smiled wryly, sighed, gave up on convincing Carlo, and prepared to return to the camel cart. Suddenly, she saw Ivan and Isha and Nalle standing behind her.
"It's still some time before it gets dark, and it won't take that long to pitch a tent, and it's a little bit further on. ”
Ivan glanced at Carlo. To be honest, Ivan was still a little surprised to see Carlo like this, he knew that Carlo trusted Xiulin very much, but he didn't expect that he would also worry about Xiulin...... This looks like a worry. On the other hand, Aisha was also muttering, muttering things like "where the hell is Sand Eagle City" and "Why don't we go further".
"yes, I'm in favor of that. Daphne smiled happily.
The valley ahead grew wider.
The cool evening breeze blows the scent of the desert, and looking southeast, the undulating sand dunes form rosy waves. I didn't see the city, I didn't see Xiulin, I didn't even see the pasture.
It's not far, but in fact, it's quite far.
"I remember......" Daphne made a surprised noise, she stopped the camel cart, jumped out of it, picked up the hem of her skirt and took a few steps forward, looking into the distance. Carlo immediately followed.
"What's out of the ordinary?"
"Ah, it's not an anomaly, huh...... Just in case or take a look. Devany turned and ran back, took a retractable telescope from the car, ran back to where she had been, picked up the binoculars and looked southeast.
Ivan also jumped out of the car, noticing that Carlo's fists were clenched tightly as if he wanted to grab the telescope. After a moment, Daphne took a deep breath.
"I think it's better for us to go a little further. ”
"What's wrong?"
"What the hell is going on, Miss Shelling?"
Ivan and Isha asked almost at the same time, and Devany frowned, as if trying to figure out how to make the situation clearer.
It was as if she had bad news.
"I remember that there was a small patch of yellow pasture on the east side of the Red Valley, and there was a small mud pond less than a kilometer from here. However, I always felt ...... The vitality of plants...... Didn't feel ......."
"Sister Yu is so powerful!" Na'er, who didn't know when she hid behind Aisha, couldn't help but admire.
"Do you see the pasture?" asked Ivan.
Devine shook her head slowly, pausing for a moment as her expression became solemn.
"It looks like it was burned down there. She said......)
