Chapter 1083: Attack on a Snowy Night

If Miss Pawo fought with Reijin Puxia for the identity of the Chosen One, that would be great. It was now the decisive battle, and no matter who won, it meant being seriously injured after a great battle. And Miss Pawo clearly couldn't take out five Glow Stones immediately at this time.

Therefore, Xia De didn't care about telling the identity of the next-in-line Chosen One at this time.

Miss Pawo narrowed her eyes slightly. After asking the question, she looked down at her big book and showed a somewhat incredible expression:

"From the probability... it's either you or me... It seems it's me."

She didn't care about the authenticity of this answer, but looked at Xia De curiously. Xia De also looked at her across the wind and snow, his voice very steady:

"My question is—under what circumstances would you hand over the Angel-level Relic 【Smowell Codex】 in your hand to others without reservation. Yes, without reservation, and you would even bless the other party."

The female Shushi showed a puzzled expression in front of Xia De for the first time:

"What a strange question, I have never thought about it. God-caller, sorry, please let me consider it..."

She didn't flip through the silver big book, but frowned and thought.

Both were waiting for the answer, and this answer was very important to Xia De.

"Probably, when everything is over. Only at such a time."

"Please explain."

"My life, my pursuit, my dreams, all of this has come to an end. This doesn't mean I have reached death; after all, death only takes away my life, and someone will still inherit other things. I mean, everything has no hope. If at this time, I can meet someone who can still move forward alone and has the possibility of saving everything, even if the probability of the other party's success is small, I will give everything I have to her. I believe in mathematics, but I also believe that as long as it is not zero percent, there is hope."

After she finished speaking, she nodded with a smile:

"Yes, that's it. Also, I won't become a Chosen One, this point will not change. After all, I cannot let myself become a part of probability, so the numbers have no meaning. Only by being a bystander can one better control numbers and probability. So, God-caller, please don't expect me and Reijin Puxia to perish together; that's a plot only found in knight novels."

"I understand."

Xia De flipped onto the horse again and looked forward, but found that Miss Pawo had disappeared.

Continuing forward, the blizzard caused by the radiation of the power of the subspace Xiewu toward the material world became more and more intense. The temperature was dropping rapidly, and the diffusing elements and strong mental pollution were also affecting the incoming "observers" more and more strongly.

Fortunately, compared to that weird Silver Mountains, the current cold and the chaos of elements were not worth mentioning. Xia De lay on the horse's back, his fingers already wearing Miss Sylvia's ring:

"Even without Puxia, the Voodoo Society will likely be able to unseal it themselves. The power of the Xiewu has already begun to infiltrate..."

Without the Great Witch of Space leading the way, wanting to rely on his own memory to move forward along the ancient road that almost couldn't see any traces without getting lost was almost impossible. The current weather was completely unable to observe the starry sky, but fortunately, he still had the power of the moon.

The Sage-level Relic 【Source of Chaos】, which contained strong chaotic power, was thrown into the air by Xia De, and the bright yellow orb floated quietly above his head, following him forward at a constant speed. The gale and blizzard could not hinder the bright yellow moonlight, as if a miniature moon had really appeared above Xia De's head.

The meaning of guidance represented by the "Yellow Moon" itself turned into clear moonlight to guide Xia De toward the direction of leaving the Great Swamp and entering the central great lake. It did not point the direction in front, nor did it radiate extra light to mark the road ahead.

It was just that when Xia De saw the correct direction, the field of vision would become brighter. Just like that real yellow moon, stable and never biased in the dark night, guiding the way home for the lost.

Just knowing the direction was of course not enough. Losing the witches as companions meant that all enemies next needed Xia De to face them himself.

At 9:43 PM, Xia De, who was lying on the horse's back and moving forward with difficulty in the snow, only felt a strange fluctuation in the air, and then the front legs of the skeletal horse under him disappeared silently.

Fortunately, the horse's speed was not fast, and Xia De jumped off the horse's back in time before falling. The orb above his head clearly illuminated the snow around him. At the current position, the ancient road had completely disappeared. It was the leeward slope of a nameless small hill, and the muddy wetland under his feet had long been completely frozen in winter.

"What attacked me?"

Xia De asked in his heart. He himself did not find any enemies, and the disappearance of the horse's front legs was so abrupt.

But "She" did not give an answer immediately, clearly continuing to observe. The blizzard had a great hindrance to perception. Xia De pulled out the 【Night Watcher】 and held it in his hand, leaning against the skeletal horse with broken legs, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

The whistling wind was continuous. In the dark night, it was as if malicious demons were hidden in all directions; the rapidly drifting snowflakes were everywhere, and behind every snowflake, it was as if soul-stealing demons were hidden. In that heavy snow, Xia De's perception almost appeared at the same time as "She" reminded him:

【Be careful!】

"Heaton Seal!"

A circular shield with golden light exploded from Xia De's body, but the next second it was directly broken by an invisible attack appearing from the wind and snow. The "Heaton Seal" only resisted for less than a second before failing. This attack intensity completely exceeded the protection effect of the Wonder.

Fortunately, the seal bought Xia De time to dodge. While the fine light fell in the snow, he rolled and dodged on the snow surface. He heard a muffled sound, and when he looked up again, there was an extra deep pit smoking with blue smoke at the position where the loyal undead skeletal horse was.

Not only did the snow layer disappear completely, but it even exploded the mud layer of the ground until it touched the hard earth under the mud swamp.

【A monster you are very familiar with.】

"What?"

Xia De couldn't care about patting the snow on his body. He stood up with his sword and looked around, but still couldn't find what had attacked him. Invisible and formless, without even a trace, and this characteristic suddenly made him remember in this blizzard night that he had indeed encountered similar enemies before:

"Child of the Invisible?"

【Yes, because there is no suppression of the power of the Lost Lake, the Children of the Invisible you encountered this time are quite strong. Not only can they not be resisted by Wonders alone, but their concealment ability has also been enhanced.】

"Is this a monster that originally lived in this area, or was it summoned? Oh, damn it!"

Xia De cursed uncivilizedly in his heart. This kind of gregarious weird creature is the descendant of the Third Era demon subspecies and Xiewu. If you can't observe them, then any attack will not be effective. It just so happens that in the blizzard night, perception is severely restricted.

【Can be observed, but it takes time.】

"Wait, I remember I asked Miss Violet, what should I do if I really encounter a Child of the Invisible but can't see them."

Xia De looked keenly at the wind and snow in front of him, guarding against the next attack, while his right hand touched his waist:

"The Witch Emperor's answer is—the power of demons."

Turning around and aiming the gun behind him, although he still couldn't see any enemies in the snow, his inspiration was reminding Xia De that he had become safer than just now.

【The power of demons has produced suppression, and the position can be identified.】

"She" said suddenly, and whispered in Xia De's ear, the wind and snow could not block "Her" voice:

【The current number of Children of the Invisible around you is three, but the possibility of new enemies appearing is not excluded.】

"According to Miss Violet, once this kind of gregarious creature finds a target, it usually comes out in full force."

Taking advantage of these invisible monsters being temporarily deterred by the gun in his hand, Xia De quickly changed the magazine, replaced the last two demon bullets, and changed to ordinary bullets:

"Miss Violet also said that they will not stay too far from their nest, so they will not keep chasing me. But that skeletal horse has already been destroyed..."

Aiming at the air and pulling the trigger, he narrowed his eyes and saw the bullet hit something in the air, but there was no sound of objects falling to the snow surface afterward.

"Target hit! Miss Violet was right, dealing with this kind of thing, the power of demons is the most useful."

【The other two temporarily retreated.】

Xia De couldn't care about the correct direction at this time, and plunged into a withered forest on the side, walking in the direction away from the two Children of the Invisible. The yellow moonlight still followed him, illuminating the complex terrain in the depths of the swamp. Even if Xia De turned into a group of scarlet butterflies, the circular orb still flew behind the butterflies.

But clearly, Xia De chose the wrong direction this time, because not long after, he encountered the Children of the Invisible again, and this time there were five of them.

Xia De gasped, white fog drifting out of his mouth like a long dragon. And the monsters hidden in the wind and snow did not dare to get too close because of the ebony pistol in his hand.

They flew fast, and the deadly sense of crisis made Xia De not dare to continue moving forward at all. In this case, even if he pulled the trigger, he couldn't hit the target again. These monsters moved too fast. Once they understood the operation mode of the weapon in his hand, they would not be hit again.

"So, there is only one way left."

He changed the magazine again and continued to walk forward. Just as Xia De expected, the direction he chose at the beginning was indeed wrong. The further he walked, the more of these terrible monsters born from the crossbreeding of demons and Xiewu there were.

He was facing a terrible situation. In the blizzard night, there was clearly nothing, and there was only his own breathing and footsteps in the whistling wind, but he knew that he had been surrounded by dozens of invisible flying monsters.

About twenty minutes later, Xia De, who was moving with difficulty in the snow, finally heard "Her" voice again:

【The nest is right in front.】

The withered trees in the blizzard were like terrifying bone claws extending from the ground, the corpses of giants buried underground. And not far ahead, in the dense withered forest, there was indeed a small clearing. The clearing had been covered by snow, but Xia De could fully imagine that the nest he had defeated once was standing securely on that clearing. ===== CHAPTER 1084 =====
