Chapter 1084: Nest, Mirror, and Meeting
The "Child of the Invisible" does not have the special characteristic that the entire species will die together if the nest is destroyed. On the contrary, like most animals, once the nest is destroyed, they will frantically attack the person who destroyed the nest.
And Xia De's idea was to destroy the nest and then take the opportunity to escape while the Children of the Invisible were temporarily in chaos, so he only had one chance:
"Help me point the way in a while."
He said in his heart, counting three, two, one in his heart, the pistol that was originally pointing at the sky quickly pointed at the clearing.
The trigger was pulled, and the second demon bullet was consumed and fired. It was another soundless blow. In an instant, even the moonlight of 【Source of Chaos】 was compressed to the limit, and when the light range of the orb returned to normal, Xia De saw that a big hole had been blown out on the snow surface of the clearing.
【The nest has been destroyed. The aftermath of the bullet's power interfered with the judgment of the other Children of the Invisible. Run to the right.】
With one step, he appeared twenty meters away, and Xia De's figure disappeared neatly into the withered forest.
He didn't know how far he had run before he stopped, panting and leaning against a large rock. After confirming that there were no pursuers behind him, he sat down slowly behind the large rock that avoided the wind, wanting to rest for a while.
"If I hadn't encountered this kind of monster in the Fifth Era, this time would have been dangerous."
He inserted the 【Night Watcher】 into the ground, first sensed the current time, and then tried to identify the current location. It was a pity that there were no obvious reference objects around, and he could only see red firelight in the distance, not knowing whether it was the Sect, the witches, or other organizations.
【But you encountered the Child of the Invisible in the past, it is also possible that you encountered the Child of the Invisible in the present.】
"She" said softly in Xia De's ear.
Xia De didn't quite understand this sentence, but fortunately, he didn't need to understand:
"The lost blizzard, invisible enemies, wanting to witness the ritual of the Chosen One of Wisdom, is really not easy. I don't know what's next... Now that there is no horse, I can only walk on foot. I hope I haven't deviated too far."
He looked at the sky with goose-feather snow, missing his warm and comfortable home like never before:
"I don't know if Tifa stayed in St. Derand Square or returned to the manor. Luweiya definitely didn't leave, probably holding Mia and reading on the sofa. I didn't tell Dorothy when I left Tobesk this time, but she has been busy with the Tobesk Writers Association year-end celebration recently, so she shouldn't look for me."
Thinking of the girls, Xia De felt as if a fire had been ignited in his heart. He rubbed his hands. To prevent mistakes in his hand feel during battle, he had not worn gloves just now:
"Let's keep walking... I probably understand Miss Chloe's mood now. The feeling of walking alone in the snow is like this."
【Do you want to use the time key now to learn how to summon a mount from that witch, or a method of moving quickly in the snow?】
"She" asked softly.
Xia De stood up leaning on his sword, patted the snow on his cloak, and prepared to continue setting off:
"If everything goes well, I will use that key before landing on the island, not now. There will definitely be battles next, and I want to recover my physical strength and spirit on the shore."
Sighing, he took a look at the bright yellow orb floating above his head and Xia De continued to move forward into the depths of the heavy snow.
The Relic guided the way for Xia De, and he did not encounter any danger in the next twenty minutes. It was just that he encountered a group of tombstones hidden in the snow halfway. Xia De chose to take a big detour to avoid that position, and those tombstones did not actively provoke him.
At 10:29 PM, Xia De, who was walking alone in the blizzard, heard footsteps in front. He stopped in surprise and saw the person holding a kerosene lamp approaching him actively. After the other party walked closer, Xia De saw that it was actually Luweiya.
The purple-eyed girl was wearing a thick women's coat, draped in a snow-avoiding cloak like him, with a headscarf and scarf wrapped around her head covering most of her face, and a pair of black rain boots on her feet.
She also saw Xia De not far away, stopped in surprise, and then staggered toward him.
"Really?"
【Too far away.】
"Luweiya!"
Xia De shouted loudly and ran forward. When the two were only ten meters away and about to approach each other, Xia De suddenly clenched his fists and raised his hands high, then quickly retracted his arms:
"Moonlight Slash!"
Under the illumination of the bright yellow moonlight, his whole person turned into an eye-catching yellow light mark, passing straight through the body of "Luweiya."
When Xia De in the light stopped and looked back, he saw that what he split was a "mirror person." As the name suggests, the skin of this weird humanoid creature was all made of highly reflective mirrors.
It tried to reach out to Xia De, but soon the mirrors all over its body shattered and scattered on the snow surface. Xia De, shivering, took a bottle of holy water and drank it, then turned to check those mirrors, finding that they were all ordinary mirror fragments.
"What is this thing? Alien creature? Relic, or some kind of summoned object of a Wonder?"
【How did you know that wasn't Luweiya Annat?】
"Very simple, the eyes of that thing just now were not as beautiful as Luweiya's. Luweiya's purple eyes... are unique, and I will definitely not recognize Luweiya's eyes wrong."
The sound of laughter came from his ear, but this time the laughter seemed to contain other meanings.
Continuing forward, just as Xia De expected, a figure holding an oil lamp appeared in the distance again. After approaching, he saw that it was actually Doctor Schneider. He seemed to be a bit panicked, appearing quickly from the winter night of the blizzard:
"Xia De, what's going on? How did I get here when I woke up?"
But before approaching Xia De, "Doctor" was split by Xia De with a sword. He had just tested that the defense of this kind of weird thing was not strong:
"【Night Watcher】 actually didn't have much reaction to the doctor. How is this possible?"
The shattered mirrors were scattered on the snow surface, shining in the yellow moonlight. Xia De continued forward without caring.
Five minutes later, a third figure appeared in the distance. This time Xia De did not stop but took the initiative to meet it, and then saw a woman who looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old walking from behind a small hill in front. She had simple braids and an inexplicable sense of vicissitudes. And beside the woman, a man's soul was floating.
The woman's appearance was Marilyn Handel, the lover brought back from death by Joey Barton:
"Mr. Hamilton, we heard about the situation here and came specifically to help you."
The voice was transmitted to Xia De's ears from the blizzard. The woman and the man's soul were approaching quickly. Xia De muttered in a low voice:
"Can anyone more outrageous appear?"
He clapped his hands together and then pulled them apart fiercely. The arc-shaped light blade left a trench on the snow surface, and then split the third mirror person:
"Who will it be next? Little Mia, Miss Feilianna, or myself?"
He thought suspiciously in his heart, and "She" asked with a smile:
【Who do you hope to see next?】
"I don't hope to see anyone."
But things never develop according to Xia De's thoughts. Ten minutes later, the sound of clear horse hooves stepping on the snow surface came from near to far. Xia De followed the light forward and saw Iluna riding on an undead skeletal horse wrapped in blue fire, with a bone whistle hanging around her neck.
The seventeen-year-old girl, like most ladies who went deep into the Great Swamp, wrapped her hair with a headscarf. She wore a brown women's coat, and various spellcasting materials could be seen in the pockets on the outside of the coat. She wore a snow-avoiding cloak on the horse's back, and black and yellow scarves were tied around her neck at the same time, both drifting toward her back in the wind. Because her feet were stepping in the stirrups, Xia De could see the pair of yellow buttoned women's short boots, and also the very tight black long pants.
Witches have the confidence to wear skirts in the Great Swamp, but she can't.
Iluna obtained a bone whistle during the Mibao incident. It possessed the power of the Ancient God 【Ancient Death God】 and helped Iluna hold an incomplete Chosen One ritual. The bone whistle could be used three more times after the Mibao incident. Unlike witch summons, the horses Iluna summoned were immune to most attacks and could move in any terrain, including but not limited to mountains, rivers, the air, and the seabed.
The blue ghost fire on the horse made the snow unable to fall on Iluna's shoulders. She also saw Xia De.
"Iluna?"
Xia De thought in his heart, holding the Night Watcher and waiting for the other party to approach vigilantly. But he didn't wait for Iluna to ride the horse over, because the girl on the horse was already furious:
"Didn't you already use Xia De to deceive me once just now? Do you think I will be deceived a second time?"
Golden thunder exploded in her palm. While raising her right hand high, that eye-piercing sunlight spear had already appeared in her hand. Without giving Xia De a chance to explain at all, the sunlight spear piercing the dark night had already flown toward him.
Xia De had thought countless times that maybe he would be hit by Iluna's sunlight spear in the near future, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen in this situation:
"Heaton Seal!"
Golden thunder jumped on the golden shield that exploded. The Heaton Seal blocked at least one-third of the power of this angry 【Sunlight Spear】, and Xia De also quickly dodged with the help of "Lagley's Jump" after the shield disappeared. But even so, the aftermath of the jumping thunder still affected him.
He had already confirmed that the Iluna in front of him was really Iluna. The power representing the Chosen One contained in the seventeen-year-old girl's Wonder could not be faked.
"It's really me!"
He shouted loudly, but in fact, seeing the "Heaton Seal" and "Lagley's Jump," Iluna had already stopped attacking hesitantly.
"Hmm..."
She rode on the horse and pursed her lips looking at Xia De:
"How can you prove that you are the real Xia De Hamilton?"
Her vigilance was very correct. Xia De quickly retrieved those memorable fragments from his memory:
"Iluna, the first time I saw you use the Sunlight Spear was after we left the Lucky Southern Cross Club and were attacked by the coachman in the alley... The first time you kissed me was after we defeated the Silver-Eyed One in the ruins under the printing factory."
"So you remember it all... Xia De!"
She quickly jumped off the horse and ran to Xia De, opening her arms to hug him. And that skeletal horse, which was still burning with blue ghost fire in the blizzard, waited obediently in place for her.
This snowy night was still very long, but at least at this moment, Iluna Beias felt as if a fire had been ignited in her heart.
And Xia De was more curious about how Iluna met him here when they set off from two different directions. ===== CHAPTER 1085 =====
