Chapter 1406: Inside and Outside the City
The Landaier River Valley after nightfall became more eerie than any night that had passed in the Sixth Era. The gray snow that had been falling for a whole day turned into heavy snow after the sun went down, which was also the largest snowfall in the Landaier River Valley in the month of wind since meteorological records began.
Luweiya and Miss Lasers stayed behind at the opera house with three witch apprentices, while other witches set off with their own people.
Xia De first saw off Miss Aurora, Miss Jia Lin Na, and Miss Bernice in the backyard of the opera house, while Miss Sylvia was on the same road as Xia De. She watched Xia De hug and kiss Luweiya, who was wearing a cold-proof robe, in the backyard of the opera house, and then waited for him to come over while holding the horse.
Even with the ability of space teleportation, if there was no corresponding coordinate or power to determine the anchor point, it was best not to open a teleportation gate to a strange place casually:
"Let's go."
The sun set too early today, and the sky was completely dark at six o'clock when they set off. But there was no moon or stars tonight, the time hadn't come, the gas street lamps didn't bloom with light, and the Landaier River Valley, where wind and snow were intertwined, only had light from windows.
This again made Xia De think of the Eternal Night City, only that it was drizzling with light rain in that city.
The Landaier River Valley under the night was livelier than during the day. Because they had received news from the Guardian in advance that a major earthquake was about to occur locally, the City Hall planned several earthquake shelters in the urban area to provide shelter for those citizens whose houses might not be very stable.
When Xia De and Miss Sylvia rode through the city under the night, they could already see groups of people holding oil lamps and torches, walking under the guidance of the police toward the squares used for shelter or wide streets with only low buildings around in the snow.
No one noticed them at all, tonight people could only try their best to take care of themselves and their families. The messy city had already made preparations to welcome the great disaster, and this night would probably become a collective memory for a whole generation in the future.
Before leaving the city, the urban area in the rain had another small earthquake. Xia De and Miss Sylvia tried their best to control the frightened horses, and when they were about to turn right at the intersection to leave the city, Sylvia raised her hand to indicate to wait, and then looked toward the north:
"There is movement, let's go take a look."
The two temporarily deviated from the correct position, rode through the alley covered with thick snow, and immediately heard sharp screams and noisy sounds.
Fire soared into the sky, and in the courtyard of the burning "Landaier River Valley Evening News" newspaper office, a huge black shadow waved its arms, and two men and one woman who were fleeing for their lives rushed out of the courtyard.
"A fallen element genie actually appeared in the city."
Xia De and Miss Sylvia, wearing hoods, got off their horses, and the fire couldn't illuminate the faces under the hoods. The witch reached into the saddlebag and took out a bottle of "mud potion," and handed it to Xia De with a gloved hand.
At this time, from the other side of the street, the sound of horse hooves came again, and three people riding horses crossed the crowd who were screaming and looking at the fire scene, and also stopped outside the courtyard. Those were three Ringed Shushi, one seven-ring, one five-ring, and one three-ring.
"Peace Church."
The leading man introduced, the three were wearing uniform clothes, with the holy dove emblem hanging on their chests, clearly also coming to handle it after hearing the movement.
"Witch Council."
Miss Sylvia's low voice introduced.
This time the Witch Council accepted the employment of the Orthodox Church, similar to the help provided to the Apuna Library and the Spiritual Cultivation Sect before, so although it was inconvenient to show their true faces, they didn't need to worry about their identities:
"It's not midnight yet, and such things happened in the city... Let us handle it."
The witch said, so Xia De took out a test tube, dipped the liquid with his finger and touched it on the tip of his tongue, then walked a few steps quickly into the courtyard. After the huge element genie noticed him, the two charged toward the center of the courtyard under the encirclement of the fire, but at the moment before contact, the black-robed figure of Xia De disappeared, then appeared in the high sky, and landed on the back of the element genie.
"Fossil to Mud!"
The curse was used, and the right hand holding the "mud potion" directly pierced into the interior of the stone body,
then the right hand crushed the glass bottle inside the element creature.
Fixing his body firmly on the enemy's back, Xia De counted down the cooling time of the miracle in his heart, then kicked hard, letting his body leave the back of the element genie, and while the latter wailed and disintegrated toward the dark night sky, his body turned in the air, then disappeared again, and appeared at the position of the courtyard gate.
Xia De didn't say a word throughout the whole process, otherwise it would be very strange for the Witch Council people and a man to appear together.
Miss Sylvia let Xia De wait in place, she and the three people of the Peace Church entered the courtyard to check, and soon returned and set off with Xia De again.
"It appeared after that small earthquake just now."
The witch was riding a horse, but the voice was clearly transmitted to Xia De's ears:
"A giant pit was found on the ground, and the Ringed Shushi of the Peace Church carried the soil analysis equipment made by the Sun Church, which can determine the appearance time of that monster."
"This is the first element genie we heard of appearing in the city, right?" Xia De asked.
"Yes, and this night has just begun."
After leaving the city, the temperature dropped sharply, and the road was even harder to walk. Even the best horses chosen by Xilisi for the two were still very difficult to run in this wind and snow.
Fortunately, this situation had also been anticipated, and the power of the special horseshoes and reins was activated, allowing the two ordinary horses to run directly on the snow surface.
Osenfurt Manor was far from the city, and it still took a long distance to reach the target location after leaving the city. And on the way, when passing through the farmland of the rural village "Mikot Village," the shaking of the ground interrupted the horse's footsteps again.
The country road at night was completely dark, Xia De did not release 【Source of Chaos】 for lighting, but was illuminated by two light balls summoned by Miss Sylvia:
"This is not an earthquake, a big guy came out!"
The witch shouted to Xia De in the snow and pointed to the farmland on the east side, so the two light balls rotated and dragged out light tails and flew over, and then were directly swallowed by the giant snake head that rushed out from the darkness.
The stench of corruption rushed to the sky, it was like the smell of a corpse that had been buried for the whole rainy season before being dug out, and it was also like the smell of a rural dry toilet that had not been cleaned for years.
"What is it?"
"Fossil of a giant snake, there are too many things buried in the soil of this area."
Miss Sylvia jumped off the horse, made a triangular gesture with her hand, shook it in front of the two horses to soothe them, and then said to Xia De:
"Help me attract its attention, this thing is not strong, let's resolve it and then set off." "Okay, it's too close to the village, it really can't be allowed to exist."
Xia De also dismounted, narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the full picture of the enemy. It was a giant three-headed snake, the one that just bit the light ball was the middle head.
A deep pit appeared in the farmland in the snow, it probably ran out from there. The stone giant snake, besides the traces of scales, also had densely packed eyes that were open, and the three snake heads clearly had different powers.
"The ancient Karak giant snake, which has the blood of both dragon and demon, is a monster that only appeared in the dark turmoil era of the Fourth Era. But this thing was almost invisible by the middle of the Fifth Era, and I don't know what era this one lived in before it died."
The young black-haired witch said, taking a bracelet from the saddlebag and wearing it on her hand:
"To deal with this thing, the mud potion is useless. Xia De, ensure safety, delay for more than ten seconds and don't let it disturb me." "No problem."
Xia De shook his wrist, let his whole body glow with the light spell, and then ran toward the farmland.
That deformed giant snake almost immediately noticed Xia De, and the tongue spit out by the left tongue shot toward Xia De's position like an arrow. But after a loud bang, there was no figure of Xia De in the snow except for a large pit: "I'm here!"
A voice sounded in the air, and Xia De, whose whole body was glowing, appeared in the snowy night. At the same time as the three-headed snake raised its head, three rotating light blades were thrown out in succession:
"Moonlight Wheel!"
The light wheels with tracking effects drew bright arcs in the night sky. Xia De knew very well that the defense of such monsters "reborn" from the distortion of the earth must be extraordinary, so the three moonlight wheels did not disperse, but attacked the neck of the leftmost snake head at the same time.
The giant snake was too large and couldn't dodge, and was hit by three consecutive attacks, but at the same time, the raised snake heads also bit Xia De who was waiting for the cooling time of "Lagley's Jump" in the air. But fortunately, what they bit was only a group of dancing red butterflies.
"Leave in five seconds!"
Miss Sylvia's voice came, and the left stone snake head clearly showed signs of shifting to one side under the attack of three consecutive moonlight rings.
"Understand!"
The red butterflies aggregated into Xia De's appearance on the right snake head, he stood directly on the stone surface, and then immediately perceived the feeling at this moment, which was like standing directly in those black mud:
"These monsters can also spread the curse and pollution of the mad earth."
Hands clasped together, the holy silver greatsword appeared in his hand, and then stabbed down fiercely, and the remaining two snake heads also rushed toward Xia De together:
"Flash away!"
After Miss Sylvia on the ground finished speaking, her right hand wearing the glowing bracelet pinched fiercely toward the giant snake.
In an instant, the traces of snowflakes falling in the sky were distorted. It was as if a pitch-black light point appeared in the center of that stone three-headed snake, and then the whole snake and the surrounding space rotated and twisted like paper falling into a water tank, until all the matter in that space condensed into a point, and the abnormal space phenomenon ended. ===== CHAPTER 1407 =====
