Aranza's nerves were tense and she didn't dare to relax at all. Her lava-surging eyes carefully shuttled through the gloomy woods. An existence with a strong aura but unable to capture the soul point finally made Aranza feel heavy pressure.
When the attack came, he even activated the third level of Beast Breath from the very beginning, raising his combat power to the highest level.
This was Aranza's first time encountering such a situation, and the unknown is often more alarming and terrifying than the known, and no matter how exaggerated the preparation is, it seems insignificant.
Behind him, Hancock and Carew noticed the abnormality almost at the same time. The former floated upwards for a few minutes, and dozens of light spears suddenly appeared around his body, silently searching around; while the latter remained motionless. For Carew,
To him, a sudden aura would not frighten him. He even rubbed his huge fists, his fighting spirit brewing.
Their ability to detect enemies is not as powerful as Aranza's soul sensing ability. Therefore, in the eyes of Hancock and Carew, based on the strength of the breath alone, the owner of this breath is indeed powerful, but that's all. And in
Aranza seems to be different. This powerful aura is genuine, but there are no soul points!
This is beyond his understanding!
"Damn it!"
Aranza's pupils moved left and right in the slits of her eyes, and she said coldly: "What the hell!... It's simply more disgusting than a dirty shadow!"
"Is there anything abnormal?"
Hancock didn't dare to be distracted and could only ask briefly.
"Um……"
However, just as Aranza was about to speak, the pressure that swept over her instantly receded like a tide. It retreated so suddenly that the three of them had no time to catch its retreating trajectory. The powerful aura disappeared.
"Well, what's going on?"
Aranza was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting such a result.
Hancock, who has more combat experience than Aranza, is still suspended in mid-air. It is undeniable that although the aura just now does not have the pressure of the sanctuary, it makes them feel inexplicable pressure. Her eyes are in the dim forest.
He glanced over quickly and carefully before saying with certainty: "It seems that the owner of that aura just now is no longer around here."
Then, Hancock lowered himself and asked, "What do you mean by abnormality?"
"Well, first of all, there are records about witches."
Aranza relaxed and explained: "They are not the strong ones in the Saint Realm, but most of them are as strong as the Sanctuary... Judging from the aura just now, this is indeed the case. I think, their
Most of the power comes from the power of rules."
Aranza did not hide the power of rules, an alternative path to becoming a strong person. In fact, many people knew that there was such a path, but where the path was, it was hard to say how many people would be able to step on it. Just like from
There is no doubt about the theoretical knowledge of some top students who graduated from business schools, but this does not mean that they will actually make money.
Aranza's words just made Hancock say "Oh" noncommittally, and said: "This only means that the witch conforms to the record. Is there anything unusual? Oh...well, there are actually witches in this era. They are indeed one."
An unusual thing."
"No."
Aranza shook her head, and there was a subtle worry under her black pupils, and said: "What makes me feel strange is, well, when the breath appeared just now, I didn't sense 'its' soul... I was
Said, if there really is a witch here, she may be a little different from what we imagined, maybe a soulless creature, maybe a creature with a special soul... No matter which one it is, it is not good news.
"
Hearing this, Hancock was silent. Creatures without souls and creatures with special souls, no matter which one, is not good news for them. Because, unusual only means unusual. It seems simple, but it is enough to make people feel uncomfortable.
People are elusive.
Finally, Hancock stared into Aranza's eyes and asked, "Go back, or continue?"
Aranza hesitated a little, and his eyes passed over Hancock and Kalu. A smile suddenly broke out on his face and he said: "Well, there are three strong men from the Holy Domain here. Such a lineup is luxurious enough anywhere.
, why not continue?”
Hancock also laughed, and his always cold and arrogant face drew a brilliant angle, which seemed to instantly illuminate the dark forest. There was a hint of approval in her eyes, and she said: "I thought you would be timid, that's right.
, you have the strength of a strong man from the holy realm, and you also have the courage of a strong man from the holy realm."
"cut!"
Aranza snorted disdainfully, but said with a proud smile: "Do you think I can only bully people with my strength?!"
After briefly identifying the direction, the three of them continued to move deeper into the grove. According to the information that Kim Gates had given to Aranza, it was stated that the cabin where the suspected witch lived was located in the center of the small forest. Looking for a piece of young forest.
The center of the old forest is not that difficult, especially the forest that blocks out the sun. The closer you go to the center, the more crowded the trees are, and the dead branches and leaves under your feet become denser and denser.
Hancock's lighting magic still held up a bright light above the heads of the three people. The area of this small forest was quite vast, and the three of them soon arrived at the center of the small forest. During this period, although the three of them paid attention, they did not notice anything.
They discovered the aura before, but whether it was Aranza, Hancock, or Kalu who lost half his soul, they all had a feeling in their hearts that the owner of that aura had not gone far, and even "it"
He has been watching their every move. This was tacitly understood in the occasional exchange of glances between the three of them.
When the last row of dense trees blocked the road ahead, Aranza did not cut them off with a rough sword. The three of them walked half a circle around this row of trees, and finally found the tree sent by the Norland Army earlier.
A passage opened by the reconnaissance team, but it was also here that Aranza discovered the bodies of other missing reconnaissance team members.
Like a warning sign, their corpses were stuck on the broken limbs of an ancient tree. The coagulated blood in the corpses perfectly fixed the expressions of the deceased before death. Some were shocked, some were confused, but most of them were pale.
There was fear hanging on their faces. This was an indescribable fear, so that the fearful faces turned into part of the fear. Just seeing their faces made Aranza and others feel a wave of fear.
Heart-pounding.
Hancock's fingertips raised a golden flame and lit it on the corpse of the warrior at the front. The flames with many magic bonuses instantly reduced the corpse to nothingness. Then, the flames seemed to have spirituality and continued to move toward other places.
The corpse of a soldier flew away, until the corpse of the last soldier was reduced to nothingness, it comforted the dead in this way and quietly faded away.
During this period, Hancock's superb magic manipulation skills were inadvertently revealed. The top of the ancient tree did not show any signs of burning, and the corpses that were hung on the tree before were even on it.
The blood left behind was as if it had never existed, leaving no trace.
Aranza has been watching this silently. He will punish the soldiers who escape, but he will continue to respect the warriors who sacrifice their lives to execute the orders.
After doing this, the three of them turned their gaze back and turned towards the hut in the middle of the forest.
A circular open space was left here, and the old trees and dead branches and leaves were blocked outside the circle. Inside, there was a piece of green grassy land, and the owner of this land seemed to care very much for these young children.
Grass and old bluestone slabs wind out a path to the door of the cabin, as if to remind people passing by not to put their feet on the green grass.
The sunlight is no longer blocked, falling from the sky at will, swaying on the bright green, and the reflected green light undergoes another turning, and falls back around the hut in the center of the green. Only in this way, it seems that this is not a witch.
The residence is more like the place where an expert lives in seclusion.
Even Aranza and the others had to secretly nod at the environment here. It would be pleasant if they could live in such a place for a while.
However, what is hard to accept is that the hut in the center undoubtedly reveals the witch's habits and hobbies.
Just like the description in the fairy tale, this cabin is completely made of various candies. It is like a miniature candy castle, gorgeous and colorful, but also showing an unspeakable weirdness.
Still standing a little far away from the hut, a faint scent of candy lingered on the tips of the three people's noses. However, the three of them deliberately used their own abilities to block this scent from entering their bodies. Although, in some cases,
The records in the books explain that witches never do anything with candies because they seem to be almost paranoid about the taste of human creations such as candies. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality and deliciousness of candies, witches take great care of candies.
No deadly ingredients will be added to it.
Of course, it is always right to be careful. Aranza is rarely willing to trust books, most of them are just for reference. You must know that books are always written by people, and books often make some things look simple, but when they are
When it actually happens to you, you will realize that it is not that simple. In other words, if you really want to handle things as simply as the instructions in the book, the book will not take full responsibility for you.
At this time, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Aranza's mouth, and he felt that the blood in his body was gradually boiling, which was the desire for the upcoming battle.
It's been a long time since he had a comfortable fight.
"Well, let's go and take a look."
Aranza said to the two people behind him, but without looking back, he stepped forward directly. His steps were very straight, stepping on the green grass and crossing the winding bluestone road.
Behind Aranza, Hancock and Carew looked at each other. Hancock was about to say something, but Carew followed Aranza's footsteps without hesitation. Facing the two people's backs, Hancock could only say something.
Neng smiled bitterly, cursed "two lunatics", then canceled the levitation technique on his body and stepped onto a piece of grass.
