Chapter 1098: Riding in the Snow (please vote for more updates)

"It's bad."

Miss Carina, who was standing in front of Shade, looked down at her boots in the mud on the snow, and then asked Miss Sylvia:

"What is your current position?"

The seven people gathered together. Shade, who was carrying a suitcase and carrying a sword, saw Miss Sylvia floating the map of the Pantanal region in the air and pointing to the southeastern part of the map with her finger:

"Three miles away from the expected location, but still planned. Thaumatology [spatial perception] tells me that we are now outside the ruins of Grus."

Miss Aurora tilted her head and glanced:

"There are still 6.5 miles (about 10.5km) to the central lake? We need to move faster."

If it were in a plain area, the 6.5-mile road would only take two hours at most, even if the seven people present walked on their own feet. However, the terrain in the Everglades is extremely complex, and dangers are everywhere. The Voodoo Society must have deployed blocking means around it, so 6.5 miles is indeed a long distance.

"We can go this route."

Miss Sylvia, wrapped in a brown scarf, pointed to the light gray lines on the map. Although the wind in the swamp area was cold, it was not strong, but the snowflakes in the sky were particularly shocking:

"Langma Ancient Road. The supply channel used by Kasenrik's army when they stationed troops on the island in the middle of the lake. Although this road is a little longer, it at least does not need to pass through dangerous areas."

The Pantanal is one of the few places in the Old World that still has a "dangerous area" recognized by the church, and the people living here are not necessarily ordinary animals. According to legend, there are even hybrid dragons living deep in the Everglades.

"Can I fly over?"

Shade asked, and Miss Carina shook her head:

"Probably due to the influence of the seal, long-distance space movement is prohibited in the area that continues forward. Although flying is not prohibited, flying can easily attract dangerous things. We still have enough time, there is no need to take risks."

"Then let's go quickly."

Miss Aurora waved her hand, took out some bone meal and poured it into the snow. As the sorceress cast the spell, the flowing bone powder multiplied and plasticized until four undead skeleton horses were formed.

Horse hooves trampled on the snow, and the unfrozen mud under the snow made a strange sound. Blue firelight was lit in the eye sockets of the skeletal horse head. At the same time, rose vines wrapped around the black bones, growing from the eye sockets to the four hooves, and cleverly avoiding the position of the saddle, allowing these summoned The undead appear even more mysterious.

"Xiwei, when did you improve your ability to summon the undead?"

Miss Carina looked at the rose vines curiously, but the lady with long wavy hair who had her hair tied up today frowned slightly:

"I'm not improving this thaumaturgy, this area is affecting my spellcasting."

"There are also anomalies in space, otherwise we wouldn't be off by 3 miles."

Miss Sylvia added, and Miss Carina nodded slightly, understanding that this was a characteristic of the deep swamp. This land has long been polluted by evil things, so be extremely careful when casting spells here.

After confirming that the appearance of the undead skeleton horses had only changed, the horse gear prepared in advance was placed on them.

Among the seven people, Miss Sylvia, who needed to lead the way at the front, rode on a horse alone, while the other witches rode together. Shade finally sat behind Miss Carina.

This is not because Miss Aurora is "generous", but because she is the highest-level witch in the team and has to face more dangers, so she does not want Shade to follow her.

The time at this time is the 24th of the Sleeping Moon in the Universal Calendar, 1853, Wednesday at 1:03 pm. The story of the fourth chosen one is coming to an end.

Snowstorms in the Everglades are much greater than those in Huntington, which is located outside the swamp. After Miss Sylvia led a group of people to find the ancient road, even though the skeleton horses were more suitable for moving in complex terrain than real horses, the environment in the swamp still greatly hindered the group's progress.

This Fengxue even had to ask Miss Avril, one of the three nine-ring sorceresses, to cast a spell to summon a temporary shield to block the Fengxue for everyone. And even if they pushed forward despite the low temperature, in the blizzard swamp, Miss Sylvia, who was extremely sensitive to space, still almost lost her way.

"This is definitely not right. Previous reports did not mention the characteristics of lost roads in the Everglades. It seems that we have entered the area affected by the Voodoo Society."

At the end of the ancient road that almost disappeared into the swamp, there was actually a frozen wetland. Miss Sylvia held the reins tightly and stopped at the front. After discussing with Miss Aurora, she borrowed Shade's [Night Watch], smeared her blood on it, and swung forward suddenly.

The wetland was split open by a silver sword like a canvas and blown away by strong winds, revealing the way forward.

"It's not a thaumaturgy or a relic, it's some kind of more terrifying power."

The witch whispered, and then the four skeleton horses continued forward, leaving only a series of hoof prints under the snow that were quickly covered.

At 1:47 p.m., a group of people who continued to move along the ancient road felt the ground shaking at the same time. The earthquake lasted for half a minute and ended, but then the sound of an explosion was heard from far away.

Miss Sylvia calculated the location and believed that the church team did not know who they were fighting with, and the intensity of the battle was not low. At least one thirteen-ring warlock is attacking with all his strength, so the enemy is probably not human at all.

At 2:35 in the afternoon, the advancing group was attacked by scarlet vines hidden under the snow. The scene of those vines being densely packed and running together is really scary.

But the battle only lasted less than half a minute and ended with the six ladies calling for fireballs together. The fireballs blasted the ground like steam cannons. After the battle, Miss Carina's inspection revealed that these vines were "man-eating corpse vines" classified as Category II dangerous plants. They were extremely rare in the Old World and were generally distributed on small overseas islands. There should not be such things even in the Pantanal region. They obviously did not grow naturally and form settlements near the ancient roads, but were specially placed here like hunters' traps.

"The Society of Truth has studied this sort of thing."

Miss Aurora added with a solemn expression, there will be more and more similar things in the future.

At 3:40 in the afternoon, the group of people who continued to move forward encountered an abandoned village without any markings on the map. After investigating together with Miss Aurora, Miss Carina believed that this village was most likely a sage-level relic [Udyr Ghost Village]. After discussion, everyone could only temporarily deviate the direction of travel to waste more time. At the cost of completely bypassing the location-based relics that somehow appeared here.

But even if the direction was changed, the group of people still entered the abandoned village without realizing it. The terrifying evil spirits gradually surrounded everyone in the blizzard, and the inevitable battle began after Shade summoned the first huge snowball to hit the undead group.

The three great witches and the three high-level sorceresses relentlessly attacked any foreign object that dared to stop them, but the ghost village in the snow was not suppressed by humans in a head-on confrontation.

Fortunately, the purpose of a group of people is not to defeat this relic, but to escape from here. In the end, Shade led the way ahead by relying on his ability not to be actively attacked by the undead, while Miss Aurora, whose rotating life rings swept through the undead and ghoul armies like light cannons, ensured the safety of everyone in the end.

After confirming that the seven people could not be left behind, this deserted village that seemed to have given birth to consciousness finally opened the way for them to leave. But when the group of people on horseback went away, Shade looked back at the village, only to clearly see those evil spirits still standing in the snow, looking at them.

At six o'clock in the evening, there was no sunlight in the Everglades. Shade and six ladies were surrounded by a crackling bonfire, while the skeleton horses were tied to a tree nearby for further use.

The witch's follower, Miss Avril, is leading her companion, Miss Scarlett, who has brown hair, to arrange a peripheral defense ceremony. They will rest here for half an hour, and then go directly to their destination in one go. The last sorceress, Miss Catherine, is boiling hot soup and adding some magic potions to expel negative states for everyone. Her work is similar to Mrs. Marquez in the Silver Mountains.

Miss Aurora found a sufficient open space nearby, and entered the parliament amidst the sound of songs to report the situation to the members who were waiting for news. Miss Sylvia was observing the stars in the trees high up to determine their position. No errors.

"Your temperature is so high."

A translucent shield covered her head, covering the wind and snow. The red-haired duchess was covered with a blanket enchanted with thermostat. She leaned against Shade and whispered softly. The two were now sitting on the bonfire. Waiting to eat, even if the environment is so bad, the big witches are still unwilling to just chew bread.

The long-haired Duchess also tied her head up today to facilitate movement. Shade could smell the scent of her red hair:

"Probably because of the First Fire and the flames of the sun."

The bonfire in front of him was lit by Shade. Although the flame was not as good as the bonfires used by the witches he had seen at any point in the fifth era, it was at least enough to resist the ordinary cold.

Miss Carina tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder. She felt that although the conditions were a little more difficult, at least she was satisfied with the current situation:

"What happens next?"

"We've encountered relics, traps, a crazy dragon beast..."

That is, an unintelligent dragon creature whose blood purity is less than 5%. That thing was thrown away by the group because the meat was poisonous.
