Chapter 2611 The “Druids” in the Snow Forest

Hearing "her" reminder, Shade's right hand quickly cut off a piece of the Baron's flesh, letting the blood pass through his transparent body and spill on the table. He released his hand to prevent himself from being cursed, and watched as the Baron disappeared completely before his eyes.

"Her" voice still continues:

[The time curse will come to you in the form of "the time key is deactivated for a week". 】

[Outlander, you noticed the content of the other party's time curse in the narrow space of time: you cannot touch metal with a gold content of more than 95%, and you will die if you touch it. 】

"Let him run away!"

The white mouse in the pocket said, Shade shook his head:

"He can't run away, I'm going to find him right now. Also, I know the characteristics of his time curse."

He briefly explained, and Miss Mouse sighed:

"It seems that the time curse is indeed fair. Although he is completely in his normal state as long as he pays attention to it, he will have to be wary of gold in his life. How are you going to find him? Use the tree hole here?"

Miss Winslet did not stop Shade:

"He just traveled through time without doing anything. You must be careful, this person is weird."

"Do I know you want to come with me?"

Xia De suddenly asked, and the witch said doubtfully:

"Can I? I mean, even though your cat proved the feasibility last time, I thought you would exclude me from the adventure."

Shade smiled:

"Since we're here, let's go together. But before we go looking for the increasingly interesting Baron, isn't it more important to see this first?"

He pointed to the box on the table that Baron Cumming dug out from outside the city. It was a metal box. According to Miss Bell, the box was wrapped in a waterproof tarpaulin when it was dug out, so the degree of rust was not very high.

The box itself had no lock, so Shade reached out and opened it after a brief inspection. Inside the metal box was actually a wooden box. After opening the wooden box again, there was a glass bottle embedded inside, and the bottle contained bright green potion.

"What's this?"

Of course Shade would not open a bottle of unknown potion carelessly, and Miss Winslet certainly could not identify what it was just by the color of the potion. She does not have the wisdom of Megan/Audrey, the great witch of knowledge, and she is not old enough for her to accumulate experience like Granny Cassandra:

"Catch up first. The Baron obviously knows more than us."

"Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions" was still in the drawer of James Cumming's room. Shade found the book and was ready to set off:

"May the World Tree protect us in infinite time."

Click~

The key was inserted into the door painted on the book cover——

[Outlander, you have opened a "Twisted Tree Hole". 】

[Tips from the Father of the Infinite Tree:]

[Using the normal time key to open the door will connect to the following time point: 1802, the sixth era of the present world. 】

[Note, any life other than you that uses this channel will be cursed by time. 】

[Note that you can enter the past 40 minutes through the abnormal channel here, and you must return through this channel after the time is over. 】

[Note that after using the key to open the door here twice, the passage will completely collapse. 】

Because the twenty minutes of defeating the "Paradox Worm" last time were extended to forty minutes, after confirming this information, Shade clenched the mouse doll in his hand, and then "pull" the door on the book cover outward.

The scene in the room of an aristocratic young man in 1854 was quickly replaced by the scene in a strange girl's boudoir in the classical era, but Shade, who was ready to cast a spell to stop time, did not see anyone in the room.

When the scene in front of him was completely stable, he immediately looked at the neatly tidied desk next to him. With a movement of his fingers, all the unlocked drawers were opened, so Shade reached out and opened the locked drawer, and then saw "Opening the Forest Door: Our Animal Companions" that belonged to this era.

"Sure enough, it's here."

The mouse doll she held in her right hand was quickly transformed back into a real mouse and then into an owl. She was careful not to return to human form:

"I don't feel that my curse has deepened. It seems that this method of smuggling is indeed feasible. Your transformation is indeed not a simple transformation."

She said this, fluttering her wings and coming to the window sill to look outside:

"In 1802, Ximu Town was still Ximu Town. Is there any way to find Baron Cumming? Or I can find a way."

"Of course there is a way."

Shade stuffed the book into his pocket, and then took out the blood of Baron Cumming that he had just collected:

"Echo of blood!"

Blood Echo can see the "echo" left by the blood owner within 24 hours, but this requires Shade to know where the other party has been.

In fact, Shade was not sure whether Baron Cumming arrived at the same time as himself in 1802, but the town of Ximu in this era was not big. Shade's idea was to know the answer by flying around the town.

In fact, he didn't need to do this at all, because the bloody afterimage had already appeared in the space as soon as the thaumaturgy was activated.

s??????.???

"I saw it. It's interesting. I couldn't see the Baron entering the door, only his leaving. He appeared here directly."

"Follow me, I'll take you flying."

"Miss Owl" said as she looked outside. It was the first month of 1802, and outside was a town covered in snow.

The owl was flying high in the sky with the cat in its hand. The cat, whose tail was a document-level relic of the "Seven Rings of Mia" - the Eye of the Crow - could clearly see the series of red shadows on the ground even at high altitude.

Baron Cumming had arrived at this time less than half an hour earlier than the two, but the owl could not see Baron Cumming until it chased him out of the town.

So the two could only continue to go deeper into the woods. Fortunately, the owl flew very fast. In the eleventh minute after arriving at this time and space, they finally saw Baron Cumming kneeling in the snow in a small open space in the woods.

The wound on his shoulder had been simply bandaged, but autumn clothes were obviously not suitable for this midwinter season. He knelt in the snow shivering, his head and shoulders were covered with snow but he still did not move.

The shadow of the owl passed by his side as it flew overhead, and then the silver cat fell from the sky, but turned into a human form before falling into the snow.

His shoes sank into the snow. Shade stood by the open space and looked at the kneeling baron. He raised his hand and stroked the owl that fell on his shoulder from the air. He shook his head with some disappointment:

"If we just let this gentleman act as bait, isn't this trap a little too obvious?"

Seeing that there was still no reaction around him after he finished speaking, the owl flapped its wings violently, and the whistling wind passed through the winter forest. The wind blew away the snow on the open space, revealing the ritual formation centered on Baron Cumming.

It was not until then that the rustling sound of boots crushing the snow surface appeared from the surroundings, and six ring warlocks in robes walked out from the hidden place in the forest.

They were all dressed the same, and the monotonous linen robes and cloth shoes that did not look warm were also out of tune with this season. The highest level among them was ten rings, one of the remaining five was a low-level four rings, and the rest were middle rings.

Seeing their attire, Shade was about to speak, but all six people moved quickly. Everyone's hand touched the snow-covered tree beside them, and the green light from the forest enveloped them. Except for the low-ring warlock, the other five people all transformed into animals.

A gray brown bear, a huge tiger, an eagle with its wings spread out that was probably taller than Shade, and a coiled patterned python.

The high-ring warlock's transformation was a huge alien creature "owlbear" with an "owl's head" and a "bear's body". The creature was snow-white, and its strong body, combined with the spellcasting ability of the ring warlock, made him definitely not just a tenth ring at this time.

The low-ring warlock who did not transform was a short-haired woman. She led the shivering Baron Cumming to retreat, and the five animals surrounded Shade in the snow.

They were still able to summon the life ring in animal form. At this time, various amplification magics were shared and spread, and the forest itself seemed to be able to enhance them. The animals transformed by the five people looked very imposing.

Shade had never exposed those magics with obvious traces of "God Summoner" in front of Miss Winslet, so he naturally would not summon the Moonlight Greatsword at this time.

As soon as he raised his hand, a blazing fireball appeared in his hand. But he changed his mind and clenched his palm to extinguish the flame, and took a deep breath to use the spell, the power of the red dragon.

Shade thought that after he absorbed the divinity of the "Dragon Devourer", this spell would be sublimated into a magic, but in fact it did not. It was just that Sister Defulin experienced the "violent" of the first fire some time ago, and the flame she shared with Shade made the spell change in a new way.

As the spell was used, his body temperature suddenly rose, and the owl on his shoulder turned his head and looked at him.

The originally dormant first fire seemed to have ignited the blood in the whole body. Although the skin only turned slightly red, the rising body temperature with the increase of strength not only made "Miss Owl" tremble like a sieve, but also made the five ring warlocks who used the transformation instinctively feel the danger.

The phantom of the red dragon flashed behind Shade, and the rising body temperature even melted the snow under his feet. So the three-meter-tall owl bear transformed by the high-ring warlock came to Shade first. Seeing that Shade did not intend to use magic, it did not use magic either.

The two used pure physical collision. Shade punched out a sonic boom like a bomb explosion, and then there was a rumble like a dragon roar. After the collision, the snow-white owl bear flew backwards like a cannonball.

Even after experiencing such a burst of power, "Miss Owl" standing on Shade's shoulder did not feel his body shaking under the collision of power. And the ability to achieve such an exaggerated overwhelming power advantage, in addition to his own strength, the power of the earth and the power of the red dragon, is also because it is winter now.

Winter blesses strangers.
