If only Andrea could vaguely see the green color of the sky five days ago, now five days later, even Xiang En could clearly see that the clouds were tinged with dark green.
On the 46th day of living in the village, the two were preparing to exercise as usual, but their brows were filled with uncontrollable worries.
After changing clothes and walking out of the wooden house, the two of them were immediately slapped by the rustling cold wind. After arranging their messy hair and looking at the sky, the dark green clouds in the early morning came into view.
"The clouds here still haven't faded..."
The sky above her head was getting darker and greener day by day, which reminded Andrea of painful experiences that she had not yet forgotten, like the flood that destroyed the world, and the afterglow of high-level spells glimpsed around Greystone City.
The same goes for Xiang En. He ignores the strange feeling of green above his head and becomes uneasy simply thinking about the massacres of cities and villages.
After struggling for a moment, the strange sky looked like a man-eating beast, and finally he made up his mind.
"Pack your things, let's go to Greystone City!"
"Ah?" Andrea was slightly startled when she heard Xiang En's arrangement, "Now?"
"right!"
After getting a positive answer, Andrea didn't hesitate and started to put all the things she needed into her backpack, and helped Xiang En pack the totems that were relatively inconvenient to pick up.
While the two were packing their things, strong winds began to blow in the dark green sky. It was not strong enough to blow people away, but the leaves in the forest were blown up into the sky, making it look like a storm was coming.
Xiang En carried five trap totems on his back, and also stuffed four goat totems into his multi-pocket windbreaker. The remaining carved totems were left in the house. If there is a chance, he can come back to pick them up later.
Bring food and dried meat, pack a few extra bags of water, and carry two daggers with you and you're ready.
Andrea carried a large package as usual, which contained clothes, food, and enough water for two people to drink for three days.
Originally, she didn't want to bring so much water, but Xiang En insisted on bringing it, so she had no choice but to let it go.
After carrying their swords and going out, they saw the weather getting worse and worse. They put on animal skin cloaks. If it rained later, the cloaks could block the rain.
After the preparations were completed, the two people's nostalgia was squeezed out by the inexplicable tense atmosphere. There was no sloppiness when they left, even though there were still many useful things that they didn't have time to pick up.
Benedict!
A trap totem was planted at the entrance of the village by Xiang En. After the two protruding horns of the trap totem connected an orange-red lightning that looked like thunder, the totem slowly became transparent and disappeared in place. Only Xiang En could see.
This was the first time Andrea saw Xiang En's totem magic. She was slightly amazed, but she didn't think much about it. She followed Xiang En away without saying a word, and her figure disappeared into the dark, ghostly forest.
rumble!
Lights of thunder gradually appeared in the dark green sky, and the accumulated clouds finally showed signs of rain...
In the dark forest, Xiang En held a parchment map found in the village chief's home. His hands were emitting white light, using the most basic magic power to illuminate his vision to ensure that he could stay in the dark forest. Can see the map clearly.
"Hoo ho!"
The clear sound of breathing and the sound of the body rubbing against the grass were very clear. The visibility was less than 20 meters, which made Xiang En and Andrea gradually become anxious and their breathing began to increase.
The animals living in the forest noticed that a storm was coming, and they were all hiding in their nests. They were eerily quiet, and it looked more and more like they had strayed into the dark forest found in some fairy tales.
Fortunately, the village is not far from Gray Stone City, and the two of them ran to the right place by mistake. According to the current speed, as long as they don't get lost, they can walk outside Gray Stone City in the afternoon.
The map is simple and easy to understand. If you follow the exit of the village as the direction, you will never go wrong. There are also a few traces of the villagers walking over the years on the road to help them guide the way.
The two of them immersed themselves in walking, no one said anything, and they looked up from time to time to look at the sky with green light.
They didn't even stop eating, because the dim sky had made the two lose their judgment of time, and they had no desire to eat.
When it wasn't so green before, they thought it was a spell effect like the meteorite that fell in Greystone City that day, and it would disappear after a while, but they didn't expect that it was getting greener day by day.
Xiang En is sure that something bad is going to happen again, and the impact may be particularly wide. Maybe they will die here before they can bring Andrea home...
But even if he died, he still wanted to try his best to figure out what was going to happen.
There are two known places where the answer may be found, one is Greystone City and the other is De Aire City.
De'er City is at least five days' walk away from them, so now they can only go to Greystone City to find the answer.
After driving for a long time without stopping, the two finally entered a village near Graystone City through the gradually sparse woods.
There was no one in the village, but there were traces of the passage of a large number of people, and the wheels of the vehicles almost created drainage channels on the ground.
After walking forward for a while, when the two of them looked up, they could already see the gray stone city shrouded in the milky white magic glow.
As expected, this place is also protected by a magic shield...
The two finally reached the edge of the village woods again, but after being startled, they quickly hid.
Below the Gray Stone City, groups of people gathered. Most of them had a strong evil aura on their bodies, and the swords in their hands were stained with dried blood. Everyone's expression was as depressed as if they had experienced a great battle. Line up quickly and orderly to enter Greystone City.
There were many people in the long queue, and various carriages were dragging many large and small bags of things. Xiang En guessed that those were grains...
He also saw some young women in plain clothes being driven forward in one of the teams, which looked a bit unique in a long queue filled with supplies.
Rustling!
Just when the two were puzzled about the composition and purpose of this group, the sound of a person's chaotic footsteps came from the forest on one side, and there was a faint sound of begging for mercy.
"Please... stop chasing... I just want to enter the city..."
Xiang En and Andrea looked at each other, and the silent understanding made the two of them start to retreat.
A trap totem was left on the spot. Xiang En retreated and put down the trap totem, leaving one at intervals, for a total of three.
The sound was getting closer and closer, but the two people who were hiding had just seen a stumbling person. Something pierced the person's body in the darkness, and then they heard a whimpering sound, and everything returned to calm.
Seeing this scene, Xiang En was a little anxious. They were still more than ten meters away from the person who was killed. Regardless of the strength of the person who was hiding, he inserted a trap totem behind him and then deliberately made some noise. Lure the other person closer.
A branch was broken, followed by the sound of slightly rapid breathing.
"?"
A figure who was about to leave stopped, turned around and looked at Xiang En's position, and then his body disappeared into the darkness.
Andrea, who was hiding beside Xiang En, had been looking at the blurry figure. She did not relax at all after seeing him disappear and continued to be vigilant. Suddenly she noticed the trend behind her and immediately turned around, holding the big gun in her hand at all times. The sword was used as a shield in front of him.
when!
After the harsh sound of gold and iron, Xiang En also reacted and quickly turned around to look.
"It's you!"
The weak light shone through the branches and leaves, reflecting a face that was somewhat familiar to both of them. Although they didn't know the other's name, Xiang En and Andrea had been chased by him not long ago.
Ace showed a ferocious smile and stared at Xiang En. There seemed to be two flames spurting out of his eyes. He also recognized them. Aren't these two the mage and his guard who were bluffing before
Every time he thought of himself running back to the team in a panic at that time, Ace wished he could go back to that time and slit the throats of Xiang and En!
The disappointed look in the leader's eyes and the mischievous smile on the mage's face deeply hurt his heart.
This time he met two people again, and he wanted to use the cleanest method to cut an equilateral triangle on their throats!
Thoughts in my mind are going back and forth, but time in reality is just one encounter.
Just as Ace was about to jump back into the darkness and show off his proficient killing skills, an abstract totem of a horned human face suddenly appeared in front of him.
There is also orange lightning above the horns, which looks quite strange.
"What's this?!"
Bang!
The totem exploded, and a surge of magic energy that hit the soul spread. Faced with the impact of the totem, Ace was like a motion sickness patient after a five-hour long bus ride and being stuffed into a drum washing machine for two hours. The uncontrollable dizziness made him feel He lost his direction and fell to the ground with a groan.
"Cut...hand!"
What? !
Ace's dizzy brain was recovering quickly. After he understood the meaning of this sentence, a sharp pain came from the right hand holding the dagger, which made his dizzy brain return to some normality.
Just as he was about to scream uncontrollably, a handful of dirt was forced into his mouth.
Benedict!
After stuffing Ace's mouth full of dirt, Xiang En inserted a trap totem next to his head, then waved his fist with all his strength and hit the bridge of Ace's nose.
Ace's eyes showed fear. He looked at the "weak" fist and the strange totem inserted in front of his face that flashed orange light. He shook his head and struggled desperately. He had lost his original anger and only thought in his heart. Fear remains, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The bridge of the nose was hit firmly by Xiang En's punch with all his strength, one punch after another. Even though the mage's physical fitness was not as strong as the assassin's, the effect of the heavy blow to the vital part made Ace cry out in pain and see stars in his eyes.
At the same time, Andrea raised her sword again and slashed at Ace's staring legs with all her strength, her red eyes reflecting the joyful color.
