Chapter 2845

~10 min read 1,850 words

Although Flora hadn't appeared in Willondale City often in recent years, she had spent her teenage years there, so she had a very good relationship with the great witch who was active in the capital's space all year round.

Sylvia glanced behind her, and those young girls stepped back a few steps very sensibly, so the witch whispered:

"Oh, Flora, are you making fun of me? Since you are all called by your names by him, of course I can too, right? Something happened last night, and I persuaded Xia De to change the way he addresses me, just like Xi Wei."

The artist lady nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong with this:

"So now, except for Grandma Cassandra, only Bella is addressed by her surname by Xia De, right... Speaking of which, you guys started earlier than me, but you didn't act very fast~"

She said, and couldn't help but show a smile, and this smile made Sylvia change her original idea. She narrowed her eyes slightly:

"Flora, do you know how I persuaded Xia De to change the way he addresses me yesterday?"

The curious artist lady shook her head:

"Is it a very romantic scene?"

"Yes, of course it's very romantic."

Sylvia lowered her voice and whispered in her friend's ear. The latter's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. When a large area of blue and yellow fluffy flightless birds ran happily in the forest, and Xia De turned to greet the girls to set off, the gray-black-haired Flora Winster just looked at Xia De, and immediately blushed and hugged her arms in front of her chest.

"What's wrong?"

"You guys... are really shameless!"

Although Xia De didn't quite know what was wrong with Flora, he could guess something from Sylvia's slightly proud expression. But fortunately, this did not affect the next action. After Xia De determined the direction with strong spatial perception, he rode on the largest blue flightless bird and led everyone into the forest.

The flightless birds were extremely fast, and the group entered the area where the orchard was located around ten o'clock in the morning. Out of caution, they stopped on the periphery, and according to the convention of action, let several girls who were good at long-range reconnaissance release arcana, and then got a not-so-good result:

"There are traces of Ring Mages active nearby, and there is a very obvious reconnaissance ritual."

It was Miss Natalie Moreno, a follower of Sylvia, who spoke. Like Miss Drake, Sylvia's assistant, she had been promoted to a 10th-ring mage after Sylvia was promoted to the 11th ring.

"How big is the ritual coverage?"

"We were worried that it would trigger the other party's ritual, so we didn't rashly conduct in-depth perception, but the coverage is certainly not just a small area."

Sylvia then said to Xia De:

"It seems that someone has chosen this area as a camp. In order to repair the ancient temple buildings scattered in the forest, the three major colleges have recently joined forces with the church to summon many Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi organizations to come locally. It seems that we were unlucky this time and ran into others."

Even if there were two high-ring witches by his side, rashly breaking into a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi camp that had already been set up was not a very cautious behavior. But since they had already arrived here, there was no reason to turn around and leave:

"Take care of those flightless birds, Sylvia, you take Miss Moreno and the others to hide in the forest. Flora, you turn into an owl and follow me. We will directly trigger the other party's ritual, tell the other party that we have discovered this camp, and see what kind of people will come to 'welcome' us."

The girls who came this time were all brought from Willondale with the great witch of space and the princess, and everyone was good at spatial abilities. Even if they encountered the worst situation, they could still run away.

Sylvia had no opinion on this plan, and the great witch of death, who had been shy and hadn't spoken to Xia De along the way, turned into an owl after nodding, flapped her wings and flew onto Xia De's shoulder.

Xia De waited for a while, confirmed that Sylvia and the others were hidden, and then reached out and touched the owl on his shoulder:

"If it's not necessary in a while, let's not do it first."

Clearly he had done this action before, but this time the gray owl shook her body violently, as if she had been frightened:

"Okay."

"Hmm... what exactly did Sylvia say to you just now?"

So he tentatively asked, hoping that Sylvia hadn't told her too carefully, but the owl refused to discuss this topic:

"Nothing! I mean, you can't say these things at this time!"

Xia De didn't pursue it, put on the Heart Crystal Ring, took a deep breath, stood in place, and threw a punch at the air in front:

"Mind Blast!"

Under the action of powerful soul and strong spiritual power, the impact formed by the punch thrown into the air roared forward like an invisible storm. While the branches of the dead trees in the forest rustled, the key was that the invisible mental impact interacted with the spirit, directly triggering all the reconnaissance rituals nearby.

In the eyes of the owl on his shoulder, if Xia De's punch hit directly, it should be enough to turn most mid-ring mages into idiots. But then she remembered Galina, who was visiting and resting in bed, praising Xia De's strong physical strength, so even without spiritual power added, Xia De's fist was a fatal weapon.

"But what did Galina mean by specifically praising Xia De's physical strength to me? Did she want to tell me that Xia De is not afraid of being affected by the death essence of my soul?"

The ritual was triggered without producing sound and light effects, just that "strong wind" startled several birds resting on the treetops not far away. Xia De stood still, originally thinking that someone would appear soon, but he waited for a full five minutes and didn't wait for anything.

If the other party's guard of the camp was really so lax, they might have all died on the first night they came here.

Finally, the owl on his shoulder suggested:

"Let's look forward, except for the squirrel that jumped over your head just now, I didn't feel any soul bigger than a fist approaching us."

Xia De then made a gesture behind him, signaling Miss Sylvia and the others not to come out for the time being, and then walked towards the orchard that had been abandoned for a hundred years.

The girls' perception was not wrong. Centered on the old site of the orchard, there were indeed traces of a large number of reconnaissance rituals here, and those ritual traces were indeed triggered by Xia De.

At first, he thought this was a trap to lure him into the other party's territory, but soon fierce battle traces appeared in the nearby forest. A large number of trees were cut into pieces like high-energy rays and scattered on the ground, and occasionally one could see large trees being uprooted and then inserted into the land further away.

The battle that took place not long ago looked devastating, of course, this refers to the party attacking the camp. The other party should have fought directly into the camp all the way, and the clear traces of fallen trees in the forest explained the other party's route.

Because of the explosion of the fireball, the few scorched large trees that were ignited were still lying on the ground smoldering with sparks. Xia De bent down and wiped the blood on the ground, finding that the blood hadn't even dried yet.

"This kind of soul power..."

Miss Owl crossed her wings to block her face at this time:

"What a disgusting smell, the other party used soul-type abilities, that is definitely not safe power."

Xia De certainly knew that the power was not safe. He didn't even need to look at the light of 【Night Watchman】 in his hand or use "Magic Vision" to observe the strong demonic power around him.

Or rather, all the battle traces he could observe had obvious traces of demonic power. Not only the intruders, but even the Ring Mages stationed here used demonic power.

The intruder was expected to be the doctor. The traces of trees being cut around were obviously made by the rays emitted from his eyes, which he called "anti-life rays." And the large tree used as a stick should have been pulled out after the doctor wrapped his right hand in "Human Pus" and turned it into a giant.

As for his opponent, Xia De guessed it should be the 【Fog Crow Brotherhood】. Most people who use demonic power in the entire material world are gathered in this organization. And although "Magic Vision" is an arcana specifically for evil spirits and demons, because those ancient evil spirits often appear by occupying the bodies of alien demons, this arcana also has an effect on the power of ordinary demons.

After figuring this out, Xia De said to the owl on his shoulder who had a cleanliness obsession with soul power:

"The front is probably my friend, you guys wait here, I'll go over by myself."

But this time the "owl" did not agree:

"You should know that the front is the other party's station, and there must be more than one person waiting for you, right? I know you don't want too many people to see your friend, but I won't ignore your safety no matter what."

When speaking, she also flapped her wings twice to express her emotions, so Xia De smiled and touched the owl:

"That's good, you fly to the sky in a while, don't let everyone on the ground notice you."

The doctor must have made a disguise, even if it was seen, it didn't actually matter:

"Also, you take this sword up too."

"Why? Are you afraid of being known for your identity?"

"No, no, I'm afraid of accidental injury... wait, why do I feel something vibrating on my body?"

Xia De said suspiciously, touched his pocket, and then took out the dragon egg fragment he obtained yesterday with the tree hole. What kept vibrating was this thing:

"What does this mean again?"

The owl stretched out her wings and touched the eggshell, and analyzed very professionally:

"The soul of longing triggered a resonance... Simply put, although the creature in the eggshell is not here, this eggshell has been soaked in its soul power because it has been with it for a long time. Now it sensed something important related to it, so it vibrated. We didn't come to the wrong place, there is definitely a clue related to that black dragon beast here!" **Chapter 2846: Fog Crow Brotherhood**
