Chapter 17: The Sea Witch

"Actually, I wonder how you managed to capture her heart?" Daisy's voice rang in Gaia's ears.

Gaia had already noticed this guy, and Daisy was about to come over to talk to him, but Daisy saw Meisha coming and consciously avoided it.

"Let's get down to business, you sense something strange about that girl, too?" Gaia didn't bother to talk to a woman about how to capture another woman, and turned the conversation to the woman they had rescued.

"Well, it is easy for a person who is good at disguise to see the disguise of others, and there is a false sense of fear in her eyes, as if she is deliberately trying to win our sympathy. Daisy said.

"Oh? That's what you noticed, and it fits you perfectly. Gaia said.

"I don't need you to sarcastically mock my fickleness and disguise. Daisy said with a chill in her tone.

"There were already nine bodies on the shallows, indicating that it was a full team, and one of them was naked...... Unfortunately, I saw the girl's face...... Gaia said.

"Unfortunately? I can understand that you looked at the female corpse a few more times because of male instinct. Daisy chuckled, apparently trying to embarrass Gaia.

"Whatever you want, the face of the female corpse is scratched, there are three women there, only the female corpse has no clothes, and her face is scratched. Gaia didn't heed her words, and continued to state her findings.

"So you think the woman with no clothes and a slashed face is Jimiya. Daisy directly stated Gaia's guess.

Gaia nodded heavily, although these are just speculations, but each team that enters the forbidden land of the gods is only nine people, if you add the living Jimiya, then this team is a total of ten people, even if they are two broken teams combined, it is impossible to happen that there are only nine tamed beasts, and there is no murderer after the bloody killing on the beach, so Gaia boldly made this speculation.

"Well, I've seen some books about aliens in some books, saying that some sea witches, merfolk, and Naga Sirens can transform into human form. Gaia said.

"Then why did she deliberately pretend to be an innocent victim to blend in with us?" asked Daisy.

"I don't know, maybe you do. Gaia shook his head, this is also what he didn't understand, if that woman was really a certain creature, since she had the strength to kill those nine people and nine beasts, why did she have to sneak in like this, just attack them directly.

"I'll ask myself...... I think that since she would spread the blood of nine people evenly near the beach, it means that she is like a naughty child, and even a sick hobby, and deliberately being in our ranks is probably also a sick hobby. Daisy said.

"Well, is there any way, her strength is quite terrifying, and if she boldly debunks it, she will definitely attack us directly. "Gaia had already spotted the suspicions, and the reason why he put this threat in the team was to worry about that, at least until he could come up with a countermeasure.

"No, you can only take one step at a time, and it's uncomfortable to be with this kind of thing, and I'd rather not know that she's that crazy creature. Daisy said, and instead of lingering, she walked to her tent.

Gaia's eyes fell on the tent where Jimia was sleeping, and after making sure that the disguised creature had not moved, he moved there slightly, making sure that he could react as quickly as possible when the creature attacked.

......

At night, Gaia quietly told Moore and Mesa about her reasoning, but Lucha, who was not very bearable, did not tell her, and Gaia was worried that she would show some flaws because she was afraid.

One night was uneventful, and the next day everyone pretended not to know, continuing to pretend that Jimia was just a woman in distress, and the daring adventurer Moll would take care of her, and Gaia also deliberately let Jenny keep an eye on this creature all the time, and it was not easy for Jimiya to suspect with Jenny's cute and petite appearance.

"The door of space, I know where it is. When Jimiya knew that everyone was looking for a spatial door to the fourth level, he spoke.

Gaia pretended to be happy and immediately asked, "It's great that you know, take us there." ”

"It's on another beach, you go there. Jimia rode ahead of the Unicorn and began to lead the way. And Gaia smiled coldly, already guessing what this guy's intentions were.

"It seems that she wants to lure us to another beach and then finish another masterpiece with our freshest blood. Daisy whispered, walking behind Gaia.

"Well, it's a low-level A-class creature, and the team will be wiped out, so it's probably because she used some method to deceive her. Gaia said. As the purest dark creature, all kinds of disguises, concealments, and illusions have no effect on it, and when Gaia asked it to explore this creature, Anny quickly recognized the true face of this thing.

"Low-level A-level words can barely deal with it. Daisy nodded. The average strength of their team did not exceed that of the mid-level B-rank, but each of them had very top-notch equipment, and it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with a low-level A-level creature with these.

"I've poisoned what he eats. Gaia said.

"......" Daisy didn't expect Gaia to be so sharp, and after being stunned, she said with a smile, "Your methods may not be much more brilliant than mine." ”

Gaia couldn't keep a single threat in his team anyway, so by the time Moore rescued the woman and handed over the food, Gaia had already mixed the food with a chronic poison that was effective against any living being.

The creature who thought he had succeeded in his plot was still leading the way, always with a strange smile on his face, as if the prey had stepped into her trap, waiting to be drained of all her blood and then stain the sand red.

"It's coming soon, hurry up. Jimia was already a little impatient, with a seemingly innocent smile on her pale face, but a sharp smile in her heart, because her masterpiece was about to be partially completed.

As Gaia and Daisy had guessed, the sea witch was a sick creature, the guardian of the entire island, and when she found out that people had been intruding on her territory recently, she began to kill the teams and smear all their blood in her own territory, so happy that she even went crazy to paint the entire island red with the blood of the intruder.

"Let's take a break. Gaia stopped abruptly and said to the others, all but Lucha and Toby simply slowed down.

"It's coming soon, why do you still rest?" Jimia was in a hurry, and after a little further she would reach the maze she had set up, and then the fellows would perform a cannibalistic show in front of her, and all she had to do was wait for them all to die, and when they were all dead, they would use the women's hair to stain the sand with blood, and start smearing the sand, so that the whole sand would be her favorite red.

"I mean you need to take a break. Gaia said.

"I'm resting, I don't feel tired, let's hurry up, I'll be there soon." Jimia continued to urge, and there was even a strange sparkle in her eyes.

"Don't you feel a little soft?" said Gaia. The poison he gave to the witch was given by Fetzer, who told Gaia that no creature could resist its medicinal properties, and that its strength would drop greatly if it was consumed.

"It's not ......" Jimia was about to shake her head, and sure enough, there was the kind of soft feeling that Gaia had said. She was sitting on a one-horned horse, and she was too excited because her prey was about to fall into the trap, and she never found out about her physical condition, until now she suddenly realized that her lower limbs were gradually out of intuition.

The cunning sea witch finally realized something, and suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, trying to jump off the one-horned Pegasus and escape, but the one-horned horse was already ready for the skill, and the silver unicorn brought a purple thunderbolt directly to its body, and at the same time passed into Jimia's body.

"Boom!! Boom!!" Gaia and Moore started at the same time, and the two of them immediately sealed the guy's escape route with weapons, Jimia panicked out of the paralyzing effect of the thunderbolt, and wrapped his body with a layer of blue high-level water enchantment to resist the attacks of the two swordsmen, but this water film was quickly shattered by the two sharp swordsmen.

"Hmph, let's die!" Gaia's magic and fighting spirit fused together, and the power was multi-layered, slashing at the witch's body.

The witch's skin suddenly turned blue, there were blue scales on her arms, her originally beautiful face was greatly distorted, gills and scales gradually grew on it, the tip of her nose was long, and there was a layer of mucous membranes on her forehead, which turned into an extremely ugly face!

The poison of the poison had already attacked, and the A-level strength of the sea witch kept stumbling under the attacks of Gaia and Moore, and with the addition of the unicorn and the fire leopard, the creature was even more powerless, and finally she had to lie on the ground, using her dorsal fin to resist everyone's attacks, and let out a sad cry for mercy: "I...... I can take you there...... Take you to the door of space...... Don't kill me......"

Gaia didn't stop, but directly took the long sword around the creature's neck, and said coldly to it, "Put away your tricks." ”

"Hmmm!!" Gaia would never give the creature another chance to play tricks, and the purple sword pierced through the creature's neck, bringing up a stream of blue blood that splattered on the grass, and suddenly a disgusting stench hit the nostrils, and the air was instantly filled with this unpleasant smell.

"Why kill her, so that we have to find the door of space on our own again. Moore said.

"There will be no threat to kill her on this island, we will find the door of space ourselves soon. Gaia said. The space gate in the fourth layer of space is on some islands, and generally the islands guarded by demonic beasts must have space gates, and it may take some time to find them, but safety is the most important thing, after all, that creature is too cunning.

Before Lucha and Toby could fully understand what was going on, the beautiful girl Jimia turned into an ugly creature and was killed by Gaia's sword, and Meisha immediately explained to them, and the two couldn't help but shudder, but fortunately Gaia found out in time, otherwise they would have fallen victim to the bloody sands.

......

After killing the sea witch who could only speak human language and change into a human form, the island seemed very empty, with no other creatures and no other team, and it took everyone a few days to finally find the door of space hidden in a crack in the sea rocks.

"How long have we been here?" asked Toby, who was recovering as he walked through the Chaos Passage.

"It's been more than a month, and it can take four or five days just to walk through this channel. Moore replied. The chaotic passages connected by each layer of empty space are very long, but they have already walked through three chaotic passages and they are used to this kind of silence and darkness, because there is only one chaotic space path, as long as they go forward, there will definitely be an exit.

"The next layer of space is the Frozen Polar Land. Meisha asked.

"There shouldn't be any team reaching the fourth layer of space now, as long as we find the space from the fourth layer to the fifth layer, we will have security, and the fifth layer of space will have no other guards except for that demigod-level creature. Gaia said.

They have already reached the fourth layer of space, and everyone has also cheered up, as long as they step into the fifth layer of space and find that exit, they will be able to leave the forbidden land of the gods, after such an ordeal, everyone has no desire to capture the treasure at all, they just want to leave here alive.

After a long passage, everyone also deliberately adjusted to the best state before stepping into the fourth layer of space, and it was still Gaia who took the lead, but after the body completely entered this ice pole, a bitter wind poured into Gaia's clothes, making Gaia shiver.

If the third layer of space is the blue world, then the fifth layer of space is the white world, and the whole space is shrouded in white snow, like a huge white paper sprinkled on the ground, white without any variegation, and not even a trace of terrain folds can be seen.

......The howling wind made a sound like a wolf's howl, carrying snowflakes on everyone's bodies, and these cold winds and white snow hit them in the face like sharp knives, and if they didn't take any protective measures, they would feel a burst of pain.

Several magicians immediately arranged a wind shield to resist the invasion of wind and snow, and the swordsman condensed a thin ball of fighting energy to block these cold objects, but the temperature here was very low, even without the attack of wind and snow, you could feel the cold of this silent snowy world.

"Will it be cold?" Gaia asked softly, taking Misa's somewhat cold hand. The swordsman's physique is much stronger than that of the magician, and Gaia himself can use magic to resist the attack of the wind and maintain the heat of his body, so this environment has little effect on him.

"Hmm. Meisha nodded, although she could use fire magic to increase the heat, the wind shield she released against the wind and snow would soon blow away the warm flames.

Gaia's space bracelet had prepared various clothes, including some trench coats, so he took them out and draped them over Misa's delicate body.

Magic can't resist the cold, although there is a coat wrapped, but Meisa's body is still trembling slightly because of the cold, Gaia takes her in her arms with pity, and cares for her carefully.

"Sloe, you use your magic to help me fend off the snow, let's keep each other warm. Moore saw that the two men were no longer caring about the other people's hugs, and said to Slo.

Moore actually didn't mean anything else, Lucha was a woman, and he could see that he also liked the guy with the artifact before, so he didn't want to be bored, and Toby was weak and rode on the Phantom Fire Leopard, so he found the magician Slo, on the one hand, let him expand the range of the wind shield to protect himself, and on the other hand, he could also invite each other to keep warm.

Even if Daisy is cold, it is impossible for this adventurer to get close to her, and she refuses this guy with a cold face, and Moore smiles awkwardly, so she tries to get as close as possible to Mesa's unicorn, trying to get the flames on the unicorns' legs to give him a little heat, but the flames on the unicorns' legs are not ordinary flames, and there is no temperature in the non-attacking state, and Mohr is bored again.

Gaia poured flames into the weapon to maintain some heat, but Meisha shook her head at him and said, "That's fine, don't waste too much mana." ”

"Yes. Gaia nodded, hugging Mesa a little tighter, and then dispersed the flames from the weapon. Applying fire-based magic to a weapon doesn't cost a lot of energy, but it adds up to a lot of energy if you keep it up.

The group began to step on the thick layer of ice and snow and randomly chose a direction and began to walk forward. Although this icy and snowy land was white, but still could barely discern the direction, after everyone crossed the snow-covered flat land where they were before, they soon saw an icy ridge, this frozen ridge is about 500 meters high, and it is not long, and you can see the edge when you stand here.

Gaia's brow furrowed when he saw this ridge, and he moved forward a little, and after confirming the shape of this ridge, his expression became solemn.

"Our good fortune only ends here......" Slow, whose lips were purple from the cold, said with a bit of a tremor.

"What's wrong?" Misha asked, sensing Gaia's breathing a little heavily, as she raised her face.

"The Fourth Polar World is a huge ice plate that is very flat, and it is not possible to have such a high ridge by common sense...... I'm afraid this ridge in front of us is ......," Gaia's words were very heavy, very deep.
