Chapter 3620: Wolf and Thread

Except for Sylvia and Jia Lin Na, the witches who should have come have all arrived. Considering that Cassandra had traveled a long way, there was no celebration banquet on the ship tonight. And seeing the girls walking around the ship again, Xia De was in a good mood.

The three teleportation gates of the Ice and Snow Castle in the mountain have all been activated. Centered on the Ice and Snow Castle, one can reach Sylvia's Tower on the top of the mountain, the Snow Mountain Hall on the mountainside, and the Radiant Messenger by the sea.

Therefore, when arranging accommodation, most of the girls lived on the ship, Claire's followers moved from the town's hotel to the Snow Mountain Hall, and the elite selected by the witches lived in the Ice and Snow Castle to prevent various situations.

Semi-permanent teleportation gates mean that even if the local incident ends, the Ice and Snow Castle will not become deserted again. The witches seem to intend to turn that castle into a second witch gathering place like the "Moon Sanctuary."

Of course, Xia De still hasn't found the key to the castle, and the castle has not yet belonged to him for the time being.

He originally wanted to go home at 7:00 PM tonight, but before he left, news came from the town that traces of 【Bad Luck Cult】 evil cultists were found near the village in the east of the island.

"What are they doing?"

The visibility in the blizzard at night was extremely poor. Xia De didn't let the witches arrange followers to investigate, but took Flora and Claire to check the situation personally. Flora's transformation posture was very useful in the wild, while Claire was most familiar with all parts of the island.

The village where the evil cultists were found was named "Olin Village." The village had no characteristics on the island, and most of the villagers made a living by fishing.

After Claire took Xia De and Flora into the village through the blizzard, they soon met the village chief. But there was no abnormal situation in the village. The one who found the traces of the evil cultists was the old priest in the village who went out to collect medicine in the snow, and the old priest saw that there were many people, so he didn't follow.

He marked the general location where he met the evil cultists on the map. When Xia De and the two witches rushed over, there were no traces at all. After all, the snow was really too heavy.

"People in the village haven't gone out much in the past two days, so no one else should have come here—echoes of the past."

Xia De tried to open the miracle, listened for a while in the howling wind, and then said to Claire who was shrinking beside him and Flora who was hiding in his chest as a gray-blue cat:

"They didn't come for the village, they were tracking a pack of wolves nearby."

"Wolves? There are indeed wolf packs on the island, but they shouldn't be here for hunting, right?"

"In the sound I heard, they mentioned that the wolf pack is the Keeper-level relic 【Bad Luck Wolf Pack】. Bella seems to have mentioned this, right?"

Keeper-level relic 【Bad Luck Wolf Pack】, the relic consists of 23 spiritual wolves. This strange wolf pack carries bad luck itself. Disasters will definitely happen in the places where they appear.

There is currently no record of this relic actively harming humans. They will appear silently at night. People who see them will only think it is their own hallucination, not knowing that bad luck has been brought.

The spiritual characteristics and bad luck characteristics make them difficult to block and capture. Even if these wolf packs are eliminated, they will only disappear temporarily, not completely eliminated. The Peace Church, which records this relic, believes that their body should be hidden somewhere in the void outside the world, and the soul image when they appear each time should be a projection.

In short, the 【Bad Luck Wolf Pack】 doesn't look very harmful among Keeper-level relics, but it is actually quite tricky. Many people even think that it should be classified as a "natural phenomenon" relic.

They appeared on the island, and should have been attracted by the chaotic elemental environment here.

"But what are the evil cultists doing chasing them? I remember that even if the wolves in the wolf pack are eliminated, they should only get some spiritual dust polluted by whisper elements. Is this useful to the evil cultists?"

But since they have already come here, all three want to figure out the true intention of the enemy.

So Xia De continued to track forward with the witches relying on "echoes of the past," followed the coastline counterclockwise through the woods outside the village, then turned west toward the foot of the mountain, and soon they saw the footprints left by the evil cultists in the snow.

Continuing to track toward the foot of the mountain, the howling of wolves in the howling wind became clearer and clearer. By the time Xia De and the witches saw the evil cultists under the moonlight, they were fighting with the 【Bad Luck Wolf Pack】 in a snowfield.

Although it is a Keeper-level relic, the combat effectiveness of the wolf pack is not very strong. Their high danger level is more because they can bring bad luck.

The Ring Warlocks of the 【Bad Luck Cult】 can also summon bad luck, and the bad luck brought by the relic has little effect on them. When Xia De and the two witches arrived, the wolf pack composed of 23 spiritual wolves had only 15 left.

As for the evil cultists, the Archbishop of Bad Luck did not appear this time. The leader was an eleventh-ring warlock Xia De didn't know. There were seven of them in total, but the most eye-catching one in the small team was a woman whose hands were wrapped in translucent thin threads, casting spells by waving those threads in the blizzard.

She had a ninth-ring level, and it could be seen that everyone else in the team was assisting her, even the eleventh-ring man was trying his best to let her perform. Although Xia De didn't know who she was, he recognized that the thin threads used by the other party were threads made by the 【Prophecy Spinning Wheel】. Last time the evil cultists brought the Flame Demon, Xia De had touched this thing.

Although he still didn't know what this group of people was doing, Xia De didn't want to wait for them to complete their purpose before making a move:

"It can't be that they come to find trouble with me every time."

After discussing a simple plan with Flora and Claire through telepathy, Xia De took the lead in the dark. But this time he didn't slash out moonlight directly. The Outlander stepped forward and arrived at the high altitude where the wind was howling. He was almost integrated into the deep night in the snowflakes, and while the starlight rising around him became brighter, he turned into a star and fell downward:

"Miracle - Star-Falling Strike!"

Like a star crossing the night sky, silent but exceptionally fatal. The perception of the evil cultists who were focused on dealing with the wolf pack was greatly affected by the wind and snow. By the time they realized the attack from high altitude, it was too late. The starlight fell, and the rumbling impact sound did not spread very far in the blizzard, but the effect of this miracle was quite excellent.

"Stars" fell into the center of the evil cultist team, and silver-blue shock waves rippled out. Except for the eleventh-ring warlock and a few people on the edge, everyone was shrouded in the attack range of Xia De.

Pure physical damage and the bombardment of star power were superimposed. When the falling starlight expanded, half of the evil cultists were blown away and couldn't climb up in the snow again.

And Xia De, who was at the center of the impact, slashed moonlight at the woman who manipulated the threads while landing. The latter was originally at the forefront of the team. Although she was also affected by Xia De's miracle, she climbed out of the snow very quickly and turned to throw threads at him.

The translucent thin threads melted the moonlight upon contact, and the thin threads were also cut off. But with the experience of last time, Xia De wouldn't let bad luck come again. The crisp sound of the holy bell rang from high altitude at this moment, and the bell sound was completely unaffected by the wind and snow. The white owl holding the holy bell swept across the battlefield. The excellent transformation technique and illusion were superimposed together. Even if the evil cultists looked up, they couldn't see the source of the bell sound.

Xia De didn't show any mercy to these evil cultists who had attacked him many times. After confirming that the holy bell borrowed from the hermits could suppress the bad luck brought by the threads of fate, he turned into a moonlight cross and rushed toward the woman.

The latter's face changed slightly, but she also made a response in time. She didn't choose to charge against Xia De. The dense thin threads wrapped around her arms flew out all at once. These thin threads, which looked fragile, were woven into a hollow shield, and then faced Xia De's moonlight slash head-on.

Not many sounds came. In the agitation of snowflakes, the owl in the air only saw the moonlight cross actually being bounced back by those shields made of thin threads.

But Xia De was not injured. Returning to his original form in the snow, he felt as if he had hit a layer of flexible barrier, and then realized that it was a shield woven from the threads of fate:

"Fate can also be woven into a physical object. What kind of ability is this again?"

The thin threads were not cut off this time, but the woman who manipulated those thin threads turned pale, obviously the cost of taking this blow was not zero:

"You guys run quickly."

She shouted to her companions in the blizzard, and the scattered evil cultists hid in different directions. Xia De didn't care about the others and continued to attack the woman.

And that woman was a ninth-ring warlock after all. While letting the dense thin threads wander around her, she tore off the holy emblem hanging on her chest and threw it to the top of her head:

"God's Art - Bad Luck Descends!"

Flora in the air felt that the holy bell she was holding became incomparably heavy, almost pulling her toward the ground.

And on the ground, "She" by Xia De's ear read the content that was rapidly unfolding in the "Fate Manual" for him. Xia De was on guard against the appearance of unexpected enemies like the Flame Demon, and then he saw the threads surrounding the woman twist into a ball, and then turned into a thread doll that looked like him at this moment:

"Hmm?"

After the doll was completely formed, the woman twisted the doll's neck fiercely, making the doll's head rotate 180 degrees directly. Xia De subconsciously shrank his neck, and then felt that except for his neck being a bit itchy, nothing else happened.

The woman who was casting the curse looked up at him, and was quite surprised, or shocked, to find that he was completely fine. She looked at the little doll in her hand and then at Xia De, who was looking at her in confusion not far away. Her fingers wanted to stab the doll's heart, but the doll's heart position lit up with golden light before she could do it.

Boom!

The doll burned directly and exploded in a burst of golden light. The threads of fate turned into ashes in that golden light, and the woman's right hand holding the doll was even blown into ashes in the explosion.

For Xia De, who possesses divinity, this kind of curse is the most difficult to take effect. ===== CHAPTER 3621 =====
