Chapter 1047: The

"Is this your cat?"

Miss Chloe asked softly, reaching out to touch Little Mia, but the orange-white cat twitched its nose and sniffed, immediately making a "threatening" sound.

"This cat is a bit shy."

Xia De said, patting Little Mia's head affectionately. Miss Chloe probably thought of the time she also turned into a cat and huddled in Xia De's arms, and a layer of imperceptible red glow appeared on her face.

"I brought a lot of vegetables this time, oh, and the spellcasting materials you wanted... almost forgot about this."

Xia De didn't notice the young witch's complexion, he patted his head:

"I also brought you good things."

Saying that, imitating the action Sister Daifulin once did, his hands were placed on the ground in a cupped position. As the first crack appeared in his palms, traces of the embers of the initial fire extended from his hands to his arms, but only extended to the position of his arms.

Dense fire-red cracks covered Xia De's hands and sleeves. This unusual scene made the witch, Mrs. Marx, and the shrinking man look over.

And in Xia De's palm, a weak golden flame trembled slightly. The flame was very weak, but the golden light was so eye-catching:

"This is a flame of the Sun Fire."

Xia De explained, smiling and holding the flame toward Miss Chloe:

"This is for you, I think you definitely need this."

"Meow~"

The cat, which had revealed its small head from Xia De's chest coat, watched the golden flame held by Xia De "covetously," but no one here cared about it.

"This fire..."

The witch reached out toward Xia De's palm, but suddenly withdrew it, as if afraid of being burned:

"This is too precious, I can't take it."

Red-gold eyes looked at Xia De, she shook her head slightly:

"This is a flame extracted from the fire of the sun. If you find a suitable Great Witch, this flame can even exchange for a wealthy Duchy from the witch's hands."

"I brought it here just for you."

Xia De moved his hand closer to Miss Chloe. To him, although this was precious, it belonged to a renewable resource. He even planned to use this as a Year-End Festival gift for Iluna:

"Accept it, I came here just to help you reach the mountain top. To be honest, compared to the people I helped in the past, your need is almost the least."

Xia De said with a smile. Miss Chloe pursed her lips, and only then did she extend her right hand and place it in Xia De's palm. She really had the ability to absorb special flames. That wisp of golden tiny flame turned into a bright fire rope, wrapped around her right hand, and drilled into her heart position.

Xia De could clearly feel that the witch's body temperature had risen a lot, but her complexion didn't get much better:

"Thank you."

Hesitating for a moment, she just said this simply, looking still a bit embarrassed.

This flame could help the witch and the three continue to climb the mountain range. Although she didn't make a request to Xia De when he left last time, Xia De was still very happy to provide these helps within his ability.

He was about to continue asking about the situation here, when Miss Chloe suddenly raised her hand to let Xia De not speak first. She frowned and looked outside the tent, a black shadow was approaching here.

The tent Xia De provided was very thick, they couldn't see who was outside, only confirming that it was a humanoid creature.

"It's here."

Miss Chloe said softly.

Mrs. Marx immediately put down the teapot in her hand, and like the man, huddled in the corner of the tent, lowering her head and covering her ears.

Xia De pushed Little Mia's head into his clothes with his fingers, and then looked outside the tent with Miss Chloe.

Before long, the black shadow had reached the outside of the tent, separated from the four people and one cat inside by only a layer of fabric. Judging from the other party's body shape, this was a lady.

Miss Chloe made a silent gesture to Xia De, she didn't speak either, and the woman who had trekked through the blizzard didn't speak either. After a full three minutes of stalemate, a subtle sound entered their ears from outside, the sound was very muffled and panicked:

"Chloe, oh, is it you? I really didn't expect to see you alive! Let me in quickly, I'm really cold, tired, and hungry, be kind, let me in."

"What is outside?"

Xia De asked softly in his heart.

【Not clear, but this time it's definitely not a demon.】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear.

"Are you Wanda?"

Miss Chloe asked in a low voice, and after getting an affirmative answer from outside, she said in a trembling voice:

"Madam, I won't let you in. I remember very clearly, after we just entered the Bai Yin Mountains, you fell into the abyss where flying is forbidden because you were curious about the glowing silver stone in the distance, you are already dead."

The young witch grabbed Xia De's hand, as if this could make her more calm. Xia De felt that her mental state at this time was very abnormal:

"I know you entered the Bai Yin Mountains with the team to fulfill your teacher's last wish. Please rest assured, I will help you realize your wish, so, please leave."

The sound of a woman sobbing in a low voice came from outside the tent:

"Chloe, oh, my little Chloe, you are the most powerful witch in the team..."

Xia De raised his eyebrows.

"You are the most powerful and firm one among us, I knew you could reach the end. Please let me in, I really... feel so uncomfortable, it's so cold here."

"Whether you are Wanda or not, you should leave."

Miss Chloe continued, but the way she bit her lip showed she was not as strong as she thought.

"I can't leave, I should go in."

The woman outside was still begging.

Xia De held Miss Chloe's hand tightly and shook his head at her, signaling that she didn't need to continue speaking:

"Gate of Death!"

As his fingers slid in the air, a pitch-black crack opened in the tent. Behind that crack was the mudflat illuminated by the dark moon, the final destination of the souls of this world.

Xia De stared at the black shadow on the tent and said to the figure outside:

"Madam, if you really want to come in, I have a place here where you should enter."

He stared at the black shadow on the tent, and the latter stood silently in the blizzard. At a certain moment, as if erased by an eraser, that figure disappeared abruptly.

"Phew~"

Xia De let out a long breath. There were too many strange things in this snow mountain. He just threatened the other party just now, not expecting the other party to really retreat.

"It will come back."

When Little Mia crawled out from Xia De's chest again, Miss Chloe hugged her legs and said:

"I can feel it, it will definitely come again."

The man who had been shrinking stood up at this time, and in Xia De's surprised eyes, opened the tent and drilled out, returning after a long while, shivering:

"It left, there are no footprints on the snow."

After checking, he shrank back to his position, trying to prove that taking him along to continue forward was valuable.

"How did you drive away these things that disguised themselves as your friends in the past few times?"

Xia De asked curiously.

"Not drive away, it will follow behind us, absorbing our positive emotions, joy, warmth, happiness, and when they are satisfied, it will leave. This time, it was the closest it has ever been. I can't imagine what would happen once it really came in."

"Absorbing positive emotions?"

Many relics have similar characteristics, and in an environment like a snow mountain, this characteristic is particularly dangerous.

"We can't let it come to us again and again. We need to find a way to solve it."

Xia De proposed, but Miss Chloe shook her head:

"Even if I am at the 11th level, I still don't think I am that thing's opponent. It is likely not an evil spirit from outside, but an evil thing born from this snow mountain itself."

She mentioned that she was at the 11th level, and Xia De thought of the god's evaluation not long ago.

"Didn't you investigate the dangers here before entering the Bai Yin Mountains?"

Xia De asked. Miss Chloe pursed her lips and said softly:

"There is indeed a way to solve that thing, but it is very dangerous. It reflects death and only appeared after peeping into our hearts. We are definitely not opponents in a head-on battle, but perhaps we can rely on wisdom."

She pointed to her head:

"First, we must determine what its true body is. After determining it, the party who sees it and the party who doesn't see it will launch an attack together. The appearance of that thing is a phenomenon that is difficult to explain, and can even be said to be a natural phenomenon. We must attack its true body and illusion at the same time; these are two mutually auxiliary 'shell layers'."

Although it sounded complicated, Xia De understood:

"In other words, someone needs to wait outside for it to appear again?"

Before Miss Chloe could speak, Xia De had already stood up:

"I'll do it."

The witch pulled Xia De's sleeve directly:

"I can't rely on you for everything."

Red-gold eyes stared at Xia De, Xia De smiled:

"How much power do you have left to use? And, I happen to have a miracle that can deal with this kind of scene... the miracle is... forget it, it doesn't matter."

He pulled Little Mia out and handed it to Miss Chloe:

"Help me take care of my cat."

He didn't turn the cat into a toy because since this cat insisted on following this time, he had to let it see how dangerous it was here, so that next time the timid Mia wouldn't dare to follow voluntarily.

"Don't worry about me."

After Miss Chloe hugged the unwilling cat, Xia De had already bent down and walked out of the tent.

He stood barefoot in the snow, took a deep breath, and recalled things that made him angry. But he seemed to have nothing worth being angry about, until he thought of Little Mia being abducted by Miss Chloe and him being separated from her by two eras of time and unable to see her again, the anger finally surged into his heart:
