Chapter 1357: Fallen Elemental Giant Spirit

"This thing is somewhat like the 'Earth Elemental Giant Spirit' that has rarely appeared in this era... No, the color is different from what the book says. Normal earth elemental aggregates should be yellow, and there is no such heavy malice."

Miss Bernice said, and the three prepared to fight.

The monster walking in the forest also noticed them at this time. It stopped and roared, then blocked its front with its huge and hard right arm, and with a speed far exceeding the slow walking just now, carrying the soil-colored luster of light, it rammed toward them sideways.

"Dodge quickly!"

The knowledgeable witch reminded loudly, and hurriedly dodged to one side. Because the target of the monster's ramming was actually Xia De, Luvia also dodged it easily.

It was just that Xia De stood still. He intended to test the strength of this monster:

"Quen Seal!"

The Moonlight Greatsword stabbed into the ground, and his left hand formed the seal. A spherical shield flowing with golden light immediately bloomed around Xia De. But in the next moment, as the giant rock that was half a head taller than Xia De rammed over, the heavy earth-yellow elemental power crushed the shield. As the golden shield exploded like fragile glass, the aftermath of the impact sent Xia De flying, and he rolled twice on the snow before standing up with difficulty. He felt that he must have suffered internal injuries:

"Can't resist hard, this isn't a simple physical attack."

"I said it's a class-element aggregate!"

Miss Bernice said loudly:

"Don't try to get close to it and fight it in close quarters, use long-range miracle attacks!"

"Okay!"

Luvia, who had been prepared on the side, threw the fireball the size of a human head in her hand. The fireball hit the right shoulder of the elemental giant spirit, and after the roaring explosion, it only took away one-fourth of the stones on its shoulder.

The stone gap squirmed and healed itself, and as the elemental giant spirit, enraged by Luvia, turned toward her, Xia De also completed his accumulation:

"Moonlight Wheel!"

The rotating light wheel hit the target from behind the enemy, and the harsh sound of the light wheel cutting the stone made the ears ache. But even so, the light wheel only disappeared after nearly half entered the elemental giant spirit's body.

"Defense is so high?"

"This kind of class-element creature doesn't have so-called weaknesses. You have to destroy most of its body at once to eliminate it."

The witch reminded:

"Xia De, get the Witch's Light ready."

Saying this, she took out three small stone statues from her pocket and threw them in front of her:

"Earth Power·Call Stone Statue!"

The stone statues that landed emitted light in the snow, then bloomed into three pentagram ritual base arrays. As stone hands stretched out from the snow, three stone statues the size of a person were summoned.

They rushed toward the elemental giant spirit that was preparing to attack Xia De again, holding it firmly in place. And at the same time, Xia De and Miss Bernice raised their right hands together:

"Feilian's Witch's Light!"

The dark golden light slowly dissolved the elemental giant spirit's body. It roared and wanted to rush out of the range of the light, but because it was held by the stone statues summoned by "Earth Power," it could only have its entire upper body melted by the light in the end.

After the damage threshold it could withstand was exceeded, with the sound of shattering, the rest of the elemental giant spirit's body also collapsed into gravel, leaving only a small pile of pitch-black stones like coal on the snow.

"To deal with fallen elemental giant spirits, you have to use attacks that can destroy more parts at once. Alchemical bombs are very effective weapons, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of enemy, so I didn't bring them."

Miss Bernice said to Xia De and Luvia, while Luvia was asking about Xia De's injuries.

"Catch my breath and I'll be fine."

He said, squatting down to pick up those black stones:

"I perceived the power of the earth's distortion, but that power is fading rapidly."

"Is this a monster born from the crazy earth?"

Luvia asked with great worry.

"Probably not, I still didn't feel any signs of the earth being distorted. This also means that even if a crazy earth area really exists, it is very far from here. And generally speaking, ghosts or other monsters born in such areas cannot leave casually."

Xia De stood up:

"I'm worried that this is the same as the 'petrification plague' in the city. This kind of monster appears randomly in the Randel Valley area, just like the ghosts that appeared randomly in the city during the late Mid-Hill Fort incident. It's just that because of our current location, which is about to have the serious problem mentioned by the guardians, the power of the earth gathers, which makes this kind of monster appear so frequently."

The witch took a light breath:

"If it really appears randomly in the whole area, then the trouble is even bigger."

The three continued to walk forward along the footprints left by the church. Probably because the church had already swept the nearby area once, they didn't encounter a second fallen earth elemental giant spirit.

The location given to Xia De by Guardian Mr. Lasers was a whole area. When they arrived nearby, they found that nothing had happened yet. That not-so-high hill was quite calm, and Xia De even saw a wolf sneaking around following a rabbit.

And the church's camp had already been set up. They didn't surround the hill, but set up camp at the foot of the hill and on the commanding height of the hillside of the small hill not far away.

They didn't even hide their tracks, and the smoke from the campfire drifted from the forest to the clear evening sky outside the city. The sky gradually darkened, and night was about to come.

Since nothing had happened for the time being, Xia De and the three also camped in a place slightly further away from the church camp after hiding.

Although the three of them weren't very afraid of the current cold with their physical fitness, sitting by the campfire still gave a feeling of peace of mind. Xia De decided to wait patiently, after all, he couldn't explain what would happen next.

And while Xia De was talking to Miss Bernice in a low voice, Luvia wanted to try divination again. She used a relatively rare tortoise shell divination, which was to throw bones or tortoise shells into the fire to burn, and then interpret fate based on the cracks.

It was just that this time, Luvia had just thrown the tortoise shell into the fire, and the tortoise shell actually cracked completely.

"Did you buy defective divination supplies?"

Xia De asked in surprise.

"Are you kidding, I have always bought these non-contraband supplies from the association."

The female diviner frowned tightly and took out cards again, using her most proficient card divination. Xia De didn't see what the three cards she drew were, but Luvia's face didn't get better because of the result:

"Someone is interfering with fate nearby."

"What do you mean?"

The witch asked, looking around.

"It's hard to say what it means. Someone is preventing what should have happened nearby. And the method the other party used looks familiar."

Luvia said, handing her cards to Xia De:

"Draw one at random?"

"Me?"

He drew the first card:

"【Puppet】. I remember this represents that the person being divined is being secretly manipulated, but they are completely unaware. Of course, it also refers to the person being divined possibly being trapped in some huge conspiracy without knowing it."

"No, no, that's just a general interpretation. I'm not divining your fate. The meaning this card represents now should be 【Puppeteer's Notes】."

Luvia corrected, and for some reason, "She" in Xia De's ear laughed.

The blonde witch asked:

"That note, is it the relic mastered by the 【Blood Spirit School】 you mentioned?"

"Yes, we have encountered this relic many times, and Xia De once got a blank note paper last summer and gave it to me, so I am very familiar with the power of this relic."

"Tonight, is there also the matter of the Blood Spirit School?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, because this time the effect of 【Puppeteer's Notes】 was not directly acting on him, so he couldn't use 【Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice】 to fight back.

"Can you know what the other party changed?"

Miss Bernice asked, but this time Luvia could only shake her head:

"That is a relic after all."

The dim sun finally fell completely below the western horizon. After the warm sunlight disappeared, the forest in late winter was still extremely cold.

Time passed bit by bit. Xia De originally thought that after the sun went down, the things the guardians said would happen. But until eight o'clock that night, they were still waiting in the calm forest.

If it weren't for Mr. Lasers saying this himself, and having "She" to prove that Xia De didn't remember the time and place wrong, Xia De even suspected that he had come to the wrong place.

Time reached 8:30. Xia De was telling Miss Bernice, who had a suspicious face, about his experience in raising cats. Before the witch could question Xia De's cat-raising method, which seemed a bit wrong, the three of them heard a "whoosh~" sound together.

Standing up and looking at the western sky, the white light spot dragging a flame tail swayed and rose into the night sky, then exploded into fireworks in the night.

And after the fireworks exploded, the ground immediately began to shake. This sudden earthquake was very strong. Xia De only felt the whole world shaking for the first few seconds:

"The guardian said that every strong earthquake means the distortion of the earth is more serious! Third stage! Wait, this feeling is..."

Just as Xia De helped Luvia, the strong malice unique to "Crazy Earth" suddenly appeared on the hill not far away.

At this moment, the howling wind was like the world itself screaming. Dark clouds blocked the starry sky and the moon, and Xia De could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a few more people on the top of the hill that was originally empty. At the same time, first small trickles appeared on the top of the hill, then the mountain fountain rushed to the night sky and fell toward the whole area.

In the pitch-black night and the strong earthquake, this scene was truly strange. ===== CHAPTER 1358 =====

At this moment, the howling wind sounded as if the world itself were wailing. Dark clouds obscured the starry sky and the moon, and Xia De could only vaguely see that there seemed to be a few more people on the top of the previously empty hill. At the same time, first, tiny trickles appeared on the top of the hill, and then a fountain at the summit surged toward the night sky and fell onto the entire area.

In the pitch-black night and the intense earthquake, this scene was truly eerie.
