A narrow mountain path in front of Pass 3 in the Griffin Mountains is called the Southwind Trail by the elves of the Fortress Village.

This is a place where griffons dare not set foot,

The whistling mountain wind seemed to have found an outlet and blew from the south, forming an extremely violent air current.

The elves walking in this path need to bend their knees, lean forward, and bend down slightly.

In order to prevent someone from accidentally getting blown up by the wind, Instructor Nora walked at the front, inserting an iron drill into the rocky ground for each part of the walk, and the members of the party shared a safety rope that was attached to the ankle of each member's right foot.

This time, Instructor Virgil walked at the back of the line, pulling out the iron drills that had been inserted into the rock.

According to Majeri's guide, there is no way to rest on this trail, and you have to pass through this dangerous canyon in one go, and once you run out of strength in the valley, the adventurer will be blown out of the valley by the wind......

The dangers of the Southerly Trail are not limited to the harsh climatic conditions.

Although the griffons do not have access to the South Wind Trail, there is a low-level magical beast that is not afraid of strong winds and can swim against the wind.

Few people have seen them, they live on both sides of the rock wall, often attack the elf hunters who enter the south wind path, more often, hang upside down in the stone crevices on both sides of the mountain wall, and when they see the elves blown away by the wind, they will ride the wind and chase these elves, until they fall to their death under the cliff, and then pick up the corpses.

The elven hunters of the Fortress Village call these secondary demonic beasts ghost-faced bats.

The party also had a short quarter of an hour's rest before entering the Southwind Trail, and Roy blessed Scarlett Magician, Sabrina, and Miss Christine with blessings.

Scarlett Magician can't ride the magic handlebar through the Southwind Trail, so she can only walk through it with everyone.

As a weak magician, Miss Scarlett has to work harder than the others.

She was protected in the middle of the group, with Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Gru walking ahead of her, followed by Roy, Sabrina, Christine, and finally Instructor Virgil.

The wind in the valley had taken away everything that could be blown away, and the whole valley was smooth, and the surface of the rocks was particularly smooth, and there were streaks left by the wind blowing through.

After Roy's Demon Pattern Construct was activated, as his physical strength continued to recover, and he had the power blessing and the power of the giant bear, he was less afraid of the winds in the valley.

He pulled Sabrina behind him, and Sabrina pulled Miss Christine, and the three elven students followed behind Scarlett Magician, walking smoothly.

Roy looked up at the sides of the valley, which was very narrow, like a narrow path formed by weathering a crack in the mountain.

He wanted to see the ghost-faced bats hanging on the mountain wall, but before the bats could see it, a stone smashed on his face armor, which was like a mask, and there were a dozen round holes in the place where he breathed, and the parts of his eyes were also exposed, and the rest was covered.

In addition to the leather visor, Roy also wore a veil to keep the wind and sand out of his eyes, but not the stones.

Roy had just entered the Southwind Trail when his face was broken by a stone, and now the stone hit the face armor with a crunch sound.

It didn't hurt Roy, but it scared him.

The other members of the party were not doing very well, and everyone almost had to lower their center of gravity and walk forward step by step.

……

With a terrible scream, a ghost-faced bat suddenly flew out of the cliff wall on the left.

I finally know why they are called ghost-faced bats, because when flying, when a pair of fleshy wings are fully opened, the pattern on them will form a grimace.

With the force of the wind, it rushed towards Instructor Nora......

Just before the ghost-faced bat hit Instructor Nora, Instructor Nora swung out the shield in his hand and immediately smashed the ghost-faced bat into the air.

The ghost-faced bat's head hit the shield just right, and a pool of blood smeared on the shield, and the ghost-faced bat fell at the feet of Instructor Nora.

The head of this bat is so small that it can't form a magic core at all, and it's not even a first-level demonic beast, but they belong to the category of demonic beasts.

When they die, their bodies quickly desertify.

In just a short period of time, the original flesh and blood body turned into a handful of fine sand and was blown away by the wind.

Wizard Marjery had said that ghost-faced bats rarely attacked elven hunters......

Now it seems that it can only be said that the luck of the adventure group is relatively poor, the first ghost-faced bat rushed out, and countless ghost-faced bats flew into the sky behind it.

"Damn ghost-faced bats, if you want to die, just come here!"

Instructor Nora stood at the front of the line, shouting as he walked forward......

A ghost-faced bat rushed over, and she slapped it directly with the shield in her hand.

These bats are flying against the wind, and the speed is naturally extremely fast, and when Nora wields his shield, they don't have time to dodge, and in just a few moments, more than a dozen ghost-faced bats were slapped away by Nora's instructor, and then turned into a handful of fine sand.

Although these ghost-faced bats have weak attack power, they are numerous.

Along the way, there was a steady stream of impacts on Instructor Nora, and it can be said that Instructor Nora almost stepped on the corpse of a ghost-faced bat along the way.

It's just that Instructor Nora is killing the ghost-faced bat, and at the same time opening the way at the front of the team, the physical exertion is more serious, and the adventure group walks five hundred meters on the south wind path, and Instructor Nora is already showing fatigue.

Sweat trickled down Instructor Nora's face, she gasped slightly, her shield-holding arm trembling slightly, and each time she swung her shield, she needed to build up some strength.

Instructor Gru, who was following Instructor Nora, wanted to take out the Battle Bow and help Instructor Nora share the burden.

It's just that in the fierce wind, he can't pull the short bow to the fullest.

Several ghost-faced bats spread their wings and rode against the wind, and when it crashed into Instructor Nora, it opened its small mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth, its eyes were bloodshot, and its mouth let out a high-pitched cry.

Instructor Nora raised her sore arm, she was now powerless to wield her shield, and could barely protect her face.

A faint magic shield appeared on Nora's instructor's body, and the ghost-faced bats collided with the magic light shield, and they all bounced away in an instant.

With each impact, the magic mask fades a little.

Then, an ice gun exploded above Instructor Nora's head, sending countless ice slags into the scattering of the newly gathered ghost-faced bats......

However, when the instructors raised their heads and looked towards the front of the valley, they found that hundreds of ghost-faced bats were flying at high speed over the southerly winding trail, densely covering the sky and the sun.

At this time, the guide was locked in the party of the adventure group, almost stupefied by the bats.

Miss Scarlett couldn't cast spells in the wind, and the two spells were the ones she ripped open with two magic scrolls.

Instructor Eleanor saw that Instructor Nora was exhausted, so she quickly untied the safety rope, walked in front of Instructor Nora, took her place, and opened the way in front.

Instructor Eleanor did not have a shield in her hand, so she used her long sword to continuously slash the ghost-faced bat, and Instructor Gru, who followed behind, took the iron drill from Instructor Nora and was responsible for smashing the iron drill into the rock crevice to ensure that everyone would not be blown away by the wind.

Instructor Nora retreated to third place, lined up in front of Miss Scarlett, silently regaining her strength......

"My mother brought more than a hundred magic scrolls this time, so I can't throw them all here! Nora, didn't you already have a travel strategy before you came out? What the hell are these ghost bats? ”

Miss Scarlett is a little unhappy with Instructor Nora and complains that she is not prepared.

Tear open a magic scroll again, and bless Instructor Eleanor with a magic light shield.

Roy took advantage of the group's stop, let Sabrina support him from behind, and then braved the strong wind, quickly cast a 'power blessing' on Instructor Nora.

In this harsh environment, Roy's magic was actually successful.

Of course, this has a lot to do with his frequent use of 'Power Blessings' in recent days......

Presumably sensing a source of power pouring into his body, Instructor Nora turned around and nodded to Roy.

The group walked a little further ahead, and Instructor Eleanor, after slashing and killing dozens of ghost-faced bats, finally showed fatigue and his steps became slower and slower.

Although Instructor Nora has not recovered his physical strength, at this time, he can only continue to go up......

At this moment, a hand reached out from Miss Scarlett and grabbed Instructor Nora's wrist, and Instructor Nora turned around to find that it was Roy.

"Instructor Nora, let me try it out at the front......," Roy said aloud to Instructor Nora.

The wind roared in the canyon, and you couldn't hear it without shouting.

Instructor Nora wanted to object, but Roy actually braved the wind and walked to the front step by step, blocking the exhausted Instructor Eleanor.

Instead of slamming these ghost-faced bats with his shield like Instructor Nora did, Roy injected a trace of holy light into the shield and the sacred scepter, and the faint light made the shield and scepter glow with some light.

Roy's feet lit up with countless magic patterns, and he actually stood up straight in the wind, picked up his scepter and knocked it down against a ghost-faced bat the size of a pigeon.

The scepter struck the ghost-faced bat on the head with the power of holy light, and a strange scene ensued......

The bat turned into a handful of fine sand in the air, and was swept away directly by the wind.

Roy's every action is a primary martial art taught by Nora's instructor, and the movements are very standard, knocking a bat to death, taking two steps forward, and killing dozens of ghost-faced bats in a row, Roy is at the front of the adventure group, since he led everyone out of more than a hundred meters.

But Roy seemed to be completely tired at this time.

He rarely blocks with his shield, almost always swings his scepter, and is so precise that few bats will crash into Roy's magic shield.

Roy only felt as if he couldn't run out of strength.

In this way, Roy led the adventure group forward for more than 300 meters, and waited until Instructor Nora fully recovered his strength before Instructor Nora replaced him.

Instructor Nora, Instructor Eleanor, and Roy took turns seventeen times, and it took most of the day for the group to get out of the Southwind Trail.

Walking out of the southerly wind, the violent southerly wind instantly reduced a lot......

Roy's eyes suddenly dawned, and a 'V' shaped pass appeared two kilometers away, and there was a bare ridge to walk in front of him.
