The fog swamp, the fog remains.

At the head of the withered treetops, towering black-feathered crows, rolled their red eyes, unblinking to pay attention to their surroundings.

But the two surging clouds of fog blended almost perfectly into the surroundings and did not cause any alarm.

They wander through the woods, gradually approaching their intended destination. In one of the fogs, the half-elves in a worried mood were secretly praying for the favor of the goddess of luck, not for themselves, but for the simple barbarian girl.

However, it may be a little late.

The hollow surrounded by three large trees, the place they had agreed in advance, was now empty and uninhabited. The two clouds of fog stopped, and Illo scanned around, but found nothing, which even made him doubt the elven vision that he had always been so proud of.

"Is she here?" asked the gray-skinned lizard, lying limply in his arms, in an inaudible voice. Because there are no "deathknell" crows in the vicinity, they can communicate a few words in a limited way.

The half-elf frowned in thought for a moment, pursed his lips, and let out a series of birdsong. In the course of the previous joint missions, he and Bai Ji agreed on the code of the joint.

There was no response.

"Look at ......" another cloud of fog approached, Alex reminded softly. In the direction she indicated, there were a few blood stains scattered on the ground, and on the bushes next to it, several fragments of the cloak hung from them.

Illo strode over, almost revealing his true form due to his speed.

"It seems that she had fought with the crows and was wounded as a result, but she was not incapacitated," the half-elf ranger inferred in a low voice, carefully discerning the nearby clues. "She then fled in this direction......"

Following the bloodstains on the ground, they walked forward dozens of steps, and then they were surprised to find that all the clues came to an abrupt end.

Take this as the center of the circle. Two clouds of fog searched the surroundings, but they couldn't find any valuable information.

"What the hell is going on...... Illo straightened his waist and looked left and right, as far as the eye could see, nothing but fog was floating and darkness entrenched.

"Huh?" At this moment, the little lizard in his arms cocked its head suspiciously.

The next moment. Even Illo and Alex noticed the mutation in the swamp. The flocks of black-feathered and red-eyed crows, chirping a few times, fluttered their wings and flew up, converging in the direction of the Soul Temple.

The deep night mixed with the fog also pulled out. The crows soaring in the sky lifted the curtain of the dark night, almost instantaneously. The whole swamp was bleached again, and it was restored to its original appearance.

He ...... I'm leaving. An inexplicable look flashed in the lizard's eyes. "The death knell" came and went, and his years of hard work turned into running water, that kind of resentment, helplessness, and sentimentality. All of them came to mind, and it was really a mixed bag.

"In that case, let's go over there and have a look. Illo looked up and made a bold decision. Alex didn't say a word and immediately followed. Demonstrate your attitude with your actions.

And the king of evil spirits, who seems to be still immersed in complicated feelings, did not open his mouth to oppose it as usual.

"Let's go. The cloaked old man rubbed the lantern in his hand and whispered.

As a broad-minded evil god, "Death Knell" has always adhered to the attitude of not refusing to come. Whether it was the corpse of an ogre or the remnants of the power of the "evil spirit", he collected them in different categories. And the flocks of black crows swept across the swamp like a sieve to avoid the possibility of missing pearls in the sea.

"Big brother, where are you going next?" Ventrov had nothing to clean up, he dusted off the mage's robe, and asked with a courteous face, "But what else can I use for my little brother?"

"North," the old man beckoned slightly, and Bai Ji, who looked sluggish next to him, immediately walked over obediently and stood on the side, "Tomorrow is Snowton's 'Victory Day Celebration', and I'm going to watch from the sidelines." ”

"Big brother is good Yaxing," Wentroff slapped his hand and bowed, "Then, the little brother will retire first." ”

The old man didn't say much, and casually said "um" in response. Ventroff breathed a sigh of relief, took a few steps back lightly, shrank his head, and actually got into the dirty quagmire. The withered yellow aquatic plants shook for a moment, and then there was no sound, and the short and thin figure of the "bed bug" disappeared.

"Your name is Pakki?" the cloaked old man looked at the savage maiden, like an artist, playing with his newly finished work.

Bai Ji nodded, her eyes confused.

"This name is not suitable for your current status," the old man pondered for a moment and made a decision, "As the chief Valkyrie of the 'Dead Soul Country', I give you the name 'Alvet'. ”

"Yes, sir. Bai Ji fell to one knee and hung her head deeply.

"In addition to fame, there is also power...... the old man stretched out his hand, gently stroking her long flaxen hair. The dim lantern suddenly dimmed, and a black flame burst out from his palm, like a small snake, into Bai Ji's eyebrows.

The barbarian girl's expression suddenly became distorted, and it seemed to be extremely painful. Knell's five fingers clawed, clasping her head tightly to prevent it from breaking away.

Black gas poured out from under the old man's cloak, and then poured into the girl's body. There are also a considerable number of them, with her as the center and spinning rapidly, the light leather armor that Bai Ji was wearing before was the first to be unable to bear it, and it shattered inch by inch. The carapace leaves, which are formed by the condensation of black gas, are interlocking and take their place.

This process lasted for a long time, so long that all the crows had rushed back one after another, hovering over their heads, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Finally, "Death Knell" nodded in satisfaction, let go of his hand, and took a few heavy breaths, obviously exerting a lot.

The thick black smoke dissipated abruptly, and the barbarian girl slowly got up, wearing a hideous black crystal armor, terrifying.

"Alvet, throw away that piece of scrap iron," Seeing that Bai Ji subconsciously picked up the stainless steel spear on the ground, "Deathknell" changed his eyes and commanded, "In my collection, there are all kinds of divine weapons for you to choose from." ”

"Yes, sir. Bai Ji threw away his old weapons and stood by solemnly.

The old man smiled and chanted a few muffled syllables, and the rich night distorted and changed to form a huge chariot. He stepped forward, hung the lantern on the tall pillar, and sat down on the throne of shadows. The girl followed closely behind, and even in the face of this amazing sight like a miracle, her expression did not change in the slightest.

"Deathknell" gave the order again, and the crows swarmed in, dragging or pulling, sparing no effort. The giant chariot soared into the air, like a rolling dark cloud, and soared into the sky. (To be continued......)
