Hakkara felt the person below him breathing hard.
"Come on," she said solemnly, "Ye Zi, come and carry me."
Walking in the cols of the Desperate Mountains is very exhausting, especially in the snowy winter. Forty-two witches had to find a suitable campsite and recharge their badges to withstand the plunging temperatures of the night before they could go very far in the day.
"Yes, Master Teacher." A witch squatted down in front of her, she summoned a demonic snake to wrap around the opponent's arm and dragged herself over. At the same time, she noticed the other person's involuntary trembling slightly.
Damn Nightingale, Hakara thought bitterly, if it wasn't for her repeated rejection of her kindness, she wouldn't be ruthless to attack her sister. At the critical moment when the holy mountain is about to be found, Hakara will never allow any accidents.
The results of it? After escaping the bondage, the traitor did not hesitate, and directly wanted to stab himself to death... Look, this is the end of kindness! Hakara's head was churning with rage, and the thorn pierced her spine. Although the herbs modified by the leaves quickly healed the wound, her lower body was paralyzed and her feet were completely unconscious.
When we reach the Holy Mountain, we will gather more witches, and one day we will bring her back to pieces!
"Lord Instructor, there is an evil beast approaching ahead."
Chi Tonghui, who is in charge of the investigation, reports. Her eyes can ignore obstacles and shields, and any traps are invisible to her. At the same time, he has a very high ability to capture moving objects, and personally shot down the crossbow arrows of the Judgment Army in the confrontation with the church.
"Let me down, Ye Zi, go and help them."
The witch who was carrying her nodded, crouched down, and placed her on a stone. The hands that supported the body sank into the snow, and the cold feeling came through the palms, Hakkara thought a little displeased, won't you first stroke the snow before letting me down
But she didn't say it. Leaf is an irreplaceable figure in the team. If it is said that the mutual aid society relies on Wendy's good-natured temper to gather the witches together, Ye Ye is the guarantee that everyone has the courage to follow him. Without her ability, most of the witches would die on the way of the church's pursuit.
Thinking of Wendy, Hakara couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart. She never expected that the person who founded the mutual aid association with her would betray her because of Nightingale.
Even when Wendy shot and blew her away, she never thought of killing him. The venom secreted by the magical snake "Pain" takes effect slowly, the pain is unbearable, but it won't kill anyone immediately. After being bitten by "Void", it can quickly clear the toxin... She just wanted to give Wendy some pain. But if you leave it alone, after the toxin invades the head, there is still no cure. It was a wrong decision for Nightingale to take her away. Without the antidote of "Void", Wendy would not be able to last a day.
Could it be that she, who used to be a nun in the church, was destined to be unable to go to the end with the sisters
As for the other defector, Lightning, Hakara didn't care too much. Joining the mutual aid society for a short time, the ability seems to be flying, always put forward different opinions in the search for clues on the holy mountain, and even openly question the holy book. If it wasn't against the idea of the mutual aid association, she really wanted to petrify this talkative little girl and throw it in the snow.
Evil beasts emerged from behind the hillside, two wolf-shaped creatures. The witches of the Mutual Aid Society deal with this situation very well. The incompetent sisters moved to the rear. The leaves were the first to drive the magic power, causing the weeds under the Evil Beast's feet to grow wildly. Another witch chased the wind and drained the air around the evil beast. Seeing that the two monsters soon fell into a state of suffocation, foaming at the mouth, they fell to the ground convulsively.
Such is the power of witches, Hakara thought. A mortal who only relies on a sword will lose his life if he is not careful when facing two evil wolves. Only witches with magical powers are the darlings of gods. If it weren't for the Stone of God's Punishment—bah, it's called the Hell Stone, she spat on the ground. If it wasn't for this hateful stone, how could the Church dare to ride on their heads
"Lord Instructor, please come up," Ye Zi walked to Hakkara and bent down.
"Let's change it," Hakkara sighed. "You were tired just now."
The group continued on the road. By noon, the snow was getting weaker, and the stone girl who was in charge of the camp layout found a leeward place. Everyone decided to take a break here and have a meal to supplement the stamina consumed.
The stone girl quickly transformed the land, and the snow was covered by the surging soil and gravel. The ground seemed to come alive, intertwined and wriggled on its own, and soon became flat and dry. Everyone performed their duties, set up the pots and utensils on their backs, and cooked porridge on the fire. The snow water is boiled in a cup, mixed with some herbs modified by leaves, and immediately emits a strong fragrance.
"Everyone, hand over the badges to Shino," shouted a little girl with rare red hair like a throbbing flame. The ability is also related to fire, she can inject temperature into an object, causing it to heat up for a long time. The badge of the Mutual Aid Society, the Holy Mountain Coin, was made by her.
Seemingly insignificant ability, but it helps a lot to the mutual aid group, especially when moving in the desperate mountain range.
After eating the wheat porridge, everyone packed up and prepared to continue on the road. According to Hakara's speculation, the so-called gate of hell is actually the key to the holy mountain. It's just that the church deliberately rendered it an evil place, hoping to prevent witches from reaching the holy mountain. According to the records in ancient books, they had to pass through three stone gates in total, and the last one was in the wilderness. Usually hidden deep in the ground, only when a bloody red moon appears in the sky, the Shimen will rise to the ground.
They set off from the camp and have been walking in the Desperate Mountain Range for about half a month, and they will soon leave the range of the mountain range and enter the wild land. In recent days, evil beasts have appeared more and more frequently.
"Quick, quick, quick look... what is that!" someone suddenly shouted in horror.
Hakara raised her head, then stunned in surprise.
A city appears in the sky!
Snowflakes were still falling in the gray sky, the clouds were low, and the outline of the city was looming in the clouds.
Those buildings were of a style she had never seen before, standing side by side like spires. If the dense black dots above were window holes, then these spires were at least a hundred feet tall! This is definitely not something a human can do! Even the Hermes Cathedral, which the church is proud of, can be called the top of the Tower of Heaven, but it is only fifteen feet tall!
Since it is not done by human beings, there is only one answer left: it is a city built by gods!
Hakara was so excited that she couldn't help herself, and a voice kept shouting in her heart—
She found the holy mountain!
