Continuing to move forward, Bai Xue found a strange inscription on an exposed stone: "The mage troops are walking in front of us!"
Unexpectedly, after being lost for several days, the mage who arrived late reached the top of the mountain faster than them.
"Do you know how far away it is?"
"Let me see... it's not very far. The engraved text should be within two hours' journey." Bai Xue touched the engraved text and answered affirmatively: "We can catch up if we speed up. Do you want to catch up?"
She looked at Xia Han.
Xia Han had no intention of being with the mages originally, but now that they have met, it seems more convenient to join them together.
"Chase!"
He made a decision and speeded up with the two women who seemed reluctant. Turning around the mountainside, another snow peak appeared in front of them. If they wanted to catch up with the mages, they had to go along the cliff.
"Wait." But at this time, Fiona's expression changed. She stopped Xia Han and the two of them, and created an illusion on the spot to hide the three of them.
Xia Han's heart was raised: "What's wrong?"
"There is something hidden on the mountain over there." Fiona seemed to be communicating with Phoenix. She stared at the snowy peak: "I think those mages have been discovered."
Not long after the words fell, the snow under the three people's feet began to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, there was a roaring sound from the snow peak opposite, and Xia Han quickly realized what it was. He looked at the snow peak, watching the surging snow waves rushing from the top to the foot of the mountain. After a moment,
The heavy snow fell silent at the foot of the mountain.
Avalanche – Extremely rapid from start to finish.
"Where are those mages?" Xia Han asked nervously.
"Probably not many will survive..." Fiona frowned and sighed, reaching out to form an ice mirror in front of her, which slowly displayed the scene of the snowy peaks: "This army does not have a powerful leading mage, and the chance of survival is very low.
.”
"Who did it?"
Xia Han remembered what Fenghuang had discovered, and quickly asked Fiona to focus on the scene: the snow-white mountain peaks, which seemed to have nothing unusual at first glance.
"White Tiger?" Bai Xue's face turned red and she looked at Xia Han shyly. The latter glared at her: I'm not talking about you!
The scene on the ice mirror became a little clearer. Only then did Xia Han clearly see a huge white tiger that blended into the mountain among the snow peaks. If it hadn't been for the flashing red eyes, it would have been difficult for him to walk up to him.
was discovered.
The guardian beast...the white tiger.
There are four guardian sacred beasts in the world, namely Suzaku (guardian of magic and power), Qinglong (guardian of ocean and life), White Tiger (guardian of sky and order), and Xuanwu (guardian of earth and nature).
White tigers—as guardian beasts, how could they be in a place like this and help the beasts?
"This is trouble..." Fiona lamented: "What's wrong is that a white tiger appears... If it were them, it would be hard for me to take action."
"Because of Lord Jasmine?" Xia Han sighed.
Fiona looked over with surprise: "You actually know."
Jasmine, the lord of the City of Order in the Sky Temple, is really the princess of the White Tiger clan - Xia Han has already found her information from the illustrated book. The White Tiger clan protects the sky and order. The reason why the Sky Temple can soar in the sky for many years
, precisely because Jasmine is one of the lords.
The order guarded by the white tigers is not order in the general sense. They will not interfere with mortal affairs. The so-called order is the order of the world, especially the 'Creator's Barrier' that covers the world.
The Creator's Barrier is the ultimate protective film of this world, and any force that exceeds the limit cannot come - it has been used to block the invasion of demons for tens of thousands of years, and the White Tiger Clan guards this film.
"Jasmine and I are good friends." Fiona said regretfully, "So we can't attack her people."
"But why is the White Tiger here?" Xia Han was a little uneasy. This incident clearly did not appear in the history of the illustrated book: "Does the White Tiger tribe want to intervene in this war?"
Fiona shook her head, and after a while she looked at the white tiger in the ice mirror and said this.
"I think it's because of the commotion a few years ago. When I heard that Qilin and Suzaku appeared, some young white tigers came out without permission." She explained: "The actions of Qilin and Suzaku cannot be said to be a matter of mortals."
In this way, the culprit of the current scene is Xia Han? It was because he discovered the human king's tomb that caused everything that followed... The white tiger came out for Suzaku and Qilin, and then became the helper of the beast tribe for some reason?
【Damn Butterfly Effect.】
Xia Han's eyebrows furrowed: "Princess, ask Jasmine to call them back..."
"This is not acceptable. Jasmine will not guide the actions of the White Tiger clan when she becomes a mortal, because that may involve personal feelings." Fiona shook her head: "And her king has been sleeping for many years to repair the damage caused by the arrival of the demon prince to the barrier.
damage."
"The current White Tiger tribe relies on self-discipline to observe the world. Once these young white tigers descend to the mortal world, the adult white tigers will not intervene." She said with a wry smile: "However, the several guardian sacred beasts are not in a turbulent world and rarely interact with each other.
"
In other words, these white tigers must now be dealt with by humans themselves.
——
On the other side, a black-haired girl is walking in the woods.
The fierce shouting just now has been blown away by the wind, and the forest is like a doomsday scene: the earth is scorched black, tree trunks are falling in all directions, and the scattered limbs are from humans and giants - as if they were minced alive and scattered on the ground.
"Were all the intact corpses taken away from the excessive battlefield?"
Sighing like this, the girl walked to the center of the battlefield holding on to the withered tree trunk.
She stood on the red and white mottled ground, raised a branch that was sticky with blood, closed her eyes and began to recite a spell.
A gust of wind appeared on the small battlefield. It swirled and blew, sucking up all the blood-red liquid on the ground, turning all the remains and limbs pale... The wind became blood-red and pungent, even making vultures in the sky
Let out a cry of fear.
"alright."
The girl opened her eyes and walked away with heavy steps. The blood-red wind rotated around her and slowly disappeared into the depths of the forest with her.
After a long time, a group of orcs came to this battlefield.
"Captain, the blood on these corpses has also disappeared!"
"Step aside!"
The orc captain holding a black war hammer walked to the battlefield rudely and turned over the corpses. Not to mention the corpses themselves, there was no blood on the ground beneath them...
[This is already the sixth episode. What kind of monster is it? 】
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but feel horrified - just because a brave warrior doesn't mean he can bravely face mysterious and evil unknown things.
