Chapter 88 Ice Worm
Bloody wasteland, lost path.
A group of seven people were moving along the rugged mountain road.
The climate here is quite mild, but you can already see several snow-capped mountains in the distance.
For those in that team, the lost path is already very familiar, and they will never go wrong.
Like the Dead Leaf Gallery, as an important transportation channel, human forces on the Bloody Wasteland will always remove monsters regularly, so there are not many monsters on the path of the lost. A few monsters will not be blind to provoke a team of powerful men with six legendary abilities.
That's right, four of the seven were members of the team. They seemed to be from the same plane and had been taking risks together for a long time.
In addition to Marvin, there was only one paladin and a little girl who looked very weak.
The profession of Paladin is usually very sensitive in the Bloody Wasteland.
Because most of the power of the paladin comes from the gods they believe in, and although they also have their own cultivation results, a large part of them needs to be supported by the magical techniques given by the gods. The camp and tendency of the gods are very important in places with chaotic powers such as the Blood-colored Wasteland.
So before inviting the paladin to join the team, the four original members had figured out the paladin's background.
But the answer is somewhat shocking.
This is actually a believer of the God of Truth!
You should know that since the fall of the God of Truth, most of the magicians, priests, and paladins under his command have not been able to get their response. Although before the fall, the God of Truth left a [Eternal Libra] as the place where the divine fire was placed after the collapse of his divine nature, most people still cannot believe in the God of Truth.
After all, from the perspective of the gods, the ancient God of Truth has actually died. What they believe in is nothing more than mechanical rules.
In this era, there are also holy warriors who believe in the God of Truth, which is a rare thing in itself.
What's even more strange is that he actually practiced to the legendary realm and appeared in the blood-colored wasteland.
Marvin was very interested in him. However, after he entered the team, he remained taciturn.
In addition, the little girl behind him was sleeping, and her body emitted a sense of evil aura. Even when he was resting, he kept silent. He looked as if he was not close to someone, and Ma Wen could not get more information.
He only learned some news from the rest of the team that the little girl seemed to be hit by a very vicious curse.
This kind of curse can only be lifted by some powerful gods in the Holy Light City.
Of course. If the God of Truth is still there, this paladin may have the ability to relieve the curse; however, the god he believed in is dead, and no matter how firm his faith is, the god will not give divine magic to save the little girl with cursed in her body.
This may be his saddest place.
...
Except for the paladin and the little girl, the other four went to the city of Holy Light to meet some old friends.
As for what we should do when we meet, we didn’t mention it much. After all, we are just a relationship that is always with each other.
In places like Bloody Wasteland, because they are all humans, it may be safer for everyone to go on the road together; but few people will reveal their mutual details on the fly.
Even Ma Wen himself just made an excuse and fooled him.
He carefully observed that all four people in this team had excellent combat power, two of whom were men and two women. Both men were melee characters, one female was suspected to be a magician, and the other was a very obvious legendary wizard.
In the team, the legendary wizard was obviously one level higher than the others.
It can be seen that her strength may be the strongest.
As for the others, they are almost all 50% of the 50s, and the legend level will not exceed 3 levels; of course, it is always higher than a rookie like Ma Wen who is just a new legend.
However, after joining the team, Ma Wen did not show his previous profession.
In fact, since he got the Grey Eagle Staff, he has the flexibility to change his character.
He defined himself as a legendary druid.
At this time, he was riding a horse summoned by the grey eagle staff, and leisurely followed the rest of the people.
He put a thick cloak outside and held the Grey Eagle Staff in his hand. If someone who doesn't know the details of the matter would probably really think that this was a spellcaster.
...
The path to the lost path is not long. According to the calculations of the team captain [Hunter] Finno, at the current speed, you can reach the foot of the snow-capped mountain almost before dark.
Then you may face a truly severe test. It is still easy now.
The atmosphere of the team is not dull - Finno is very eloquent and often tells harmless jokes. Even the paladin who looks very rigid will change his expressions with face under the deliberate adjustment of the atmosphere.
It can be seen that the four people cooperated very well. The two women seemed to have done nothing, but the pet of the legendary wizard, a crow, kept flying back and forth near them. The crow's eyes were gray, and obviously had the ability to see through and anti-invisible.
The magician threw a detection technique under the ground from time to time to prevent monsters from raiding from the underground.
The two spellcasters work together, and such reconnaissance is very strong, and few enemies can successfully ambush them.
At first, Marvin occasionally used his perception of the earth, but later he found that his actions were purely redundant.
As expected, following the team still needs to save some effort.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Marvin occasionally chatted with Finno, just to relieve his boredom.
When the blood light in the sky gradually dimmed, they indeed arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains.
There is a street sign hanging in the intersection ahead, with a magic nanmu texture, with a straight arrow drawn on it - [Torch Valley (Direction of the Holy Light City)].
"The protective barrier that left the road ahead, which belongs to the lost path disappeared."
Finno was rarely serious: "The last time we encountered an avalanche not far ahead, please pay attention."
Everyone nodded silently.
Those who can hang out in the blood-colored wasteland are not new to the new generation. They know when to relax and when to stay vigilant at all times.
The group continued to move along the direction of the road sign.
Sure enough, not long after, Marvin felt a terrifying chill coming.
It seems like I have entered the snow-capped mountains directly from a warm area.
The climate gap is so great that the little girl on the paladin's back is awakened.
"Where is this? Uncle Griffin?"
The little girl's voice was very weak, as if every word needed to use all her strength.
“We’ll be at the destination soon.”
This was the first time Marvin heard the paladin speak, his voice calm and powerful, with a convincing power.
"Close your eyes and don't open it no matter what sound you hear. I will protect you."
"Um."
The little girl trusted the paladin very much. Sure enough, she closed her eyes obediently.
The rest of the people didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two. Their expressions became very serious, and the two melee strong men even grabbed their weapons in their hands.
Exaggerated axes and slender swords are very rare weapons - at least the former does not seem to be suitable for human figures, while the latter seems to be flamboyant in actual combat. But the strength of these two human strong men is unquestionable, and Marvin can sense the powerful explosive power in their bodies.
"Maybe they are not purebred humans."
Marvin observed silently.
Feno held a sword in his hand and moved gracefully, more like a human with elf blood; while another man was relatively rough, with his axe completely incompatible with his figure, but he could lift heavy weights and wave the weapons in his hand.
The terrain ahead suddenly changed, and a large amount of snow appeared at the feet of adventurers.
The road that was originally clearly visible was buried by heavy snow, so they didn't walk very quickly.
In the dark, Ma Wen seemed to feel his eyes spying on them.
This is not surprising.
Before he set out, he was told that the blizzard here might be man-controlled. If it was a legendary wizard with powerful magic power, he would be able to do this. And the divine servant with divine power is even simpler.
No matter who he wants to block this place, Marvin has only one attitude - that is to break through!
If he wants to find Minsk, he must arrive at the City of Holy Light. No one can stop him.
On the surface, he still held the Grey Eagle Staff, and thoughtfully blessed several natural halo spells to his teammates, looking like a full druid.
In fact, his left hand was already pressed on the green leaves around his waist.
If anything happens, he can immediately turn from a "big druid" into a cold-blooded assassin.
...
But what surprised Marvin was that this feeling disappeared soon after a while at the beginning.
They walked through the snow very smoothly without any obstacles.
"The Torch Valley is ahead."
Finno showed a look of joy and looked relieved.
It is said that the four of them have walked back and forth less than four times, so there should be no mistakes.
Like the Lost Path, Torch Valley also has barrier protection. However, the barrier power of the Lost Path comes from the Black Swan Hill, while Torch Valley comes from the Holy Light City.
As long as they can reach the Torch Valley smoothly, they will not be afraid of blizzards and other conditions.
However, at this moment, the magician Nolan suddenly issued a warning:
"Be careful, there is something under the snow!"
In an instant, the reconnaissance technique she released changed from golden yellow to red!
The red light suddenly changed and turned into patterns.
Everyone could clearly see that there were holes after holes under the vast snow!
These holes are nests.
A large number of ice insects are rushing out of the nest frantically!
"Prepare for combat!"
Finno roared, and the thin sword in his hand slashed to the ground. Suddenly, snowflakes flew up in the sky, and the sizzling sounds were endless!
Chapter completed!
