Release that Witch - Chapter 1073

[Chapter 1051 Azima’s Discovery]

The northeast border of Chenxi, the Cage Mountain area.

The more you go up, the more difficult it becomes. There are intertwined vines and giant trees everywhere, and the thick canopy is layered on top of each other. You can only see a little bit of the gray sky from the gaps.

The only thing that comforts Azima is that at least they don’t have to contend with the knee-deep snow – this place is less affected by the Demon Moon, and there will be no heavy snow blocking the mountains. If they are all like the Impassable Mountains , then they can wait until the turn of spring and summer to come again.

But that doesn’t mean traveling through the mountains is an easy job.

When standing at the bottom of the mountain, Cage Mountain is just a gentle high slope, not even steep.

But when they actually went in, they found that there was not even a path inside, and it was not suitable for large troops to cross at all.

On the first day of climbing the mountain, the group climbed less than two miles, and three people were injured. In desperation, the king’s personal guard Xiao En had to let the army station in the small town at the foot of the mountain, and only selected a few elites to follow her to continue. Forward.

A local guide Naf, a God’s Punishment Witch Roser, a liaison envoy Mal from the Tokat family, together with her, Sean and others, constituted the whole of this strange exploration team.

——If you don’t blame, there are ghosts!

God’s Punishment Witch said that she was entrusted by His Majesty to take care of her life. After all, it would be inconvenient for many things to act with men all day long.

But Azima is sure that as long as she tries to escape, the other party will break her legs immediately.

Although Mar Tokat is the liaison envoy sent by King Dawn, is there anything he needs to contact in the deep mountains and old forests?

Instead of staying in the town honestly, but insisting on asking to go up the mountain together, he obviously came with a purpose.

If it wasn’t for the name of Tokat’s family, and he really helped a lot along the way, he would have been caught by Sean in a sack and thrown back.

Not to mention the exploration team, this “non-hostile” prospecting team can be said to be armed to the teeth, and even a shovel can be used to cut people. The posture is not like a group of ordinary miners at the bottom of life.

And none of this group of people knew what they were looking for, including Azima—it wasn’t gold, silver or copper or iron. The only guide was this small piece of coin of unknown material in her hand.

“Wait… wait,” the guide walking ahead suddenly raised his hand to stop, “Be careful, there are traps here!”

Azima heard a clicking sound behind her—she knew it was the ready action of reloading the firearm.

Over the past month or so, Sean has often talked to her about His Majesty’s legendary achievements, and she has also gained a basic understanding of the combat capabilities of this army.

In fact, compared to Roser, who was also a witch, she found that she preferred to stay with ordinary people.

Roser’s reaction was much calmer. She didn’t even draw out her sword, and walked unhurriedly to the guide, “Oh? This is… a spear-throwing tripwire?”

“That’s right,” Naff pointed to the top of a tree trunk, “See, the spear is hidden there—as long as we accidentally touch the mechanism, those things will shoot us into a sieve!”

Azima followed his fingertips and saw a few sharpened wooden sticks protruding from the branches and leaves, as if she was looking down on them coldly from a high place, as long as it fell on her body, it would definitely hurt her head and neck important parts of the neck.

This is by no means a trap set by Orion, but more like it was set for people.

“Where is the organ?” Sean asked in a deep voice.

“You can’t find them,” Nuff shook his head, “every vine and branch under our feet may be part of the tripwire, unless a torch is set on fire here, it will be difficult to completely destroy it .”

“Then what?” Mal muttered.

“We can only take a detour, my lord.”

“No, you all stand back.” Rosser said suddenly, “Let me try.”

“What are you talking about?” Nuff looked at God’s Punishment Witch in surprise, “Hey, this is not a joke—”

However, before he could finish speaking, the latter had slowly walked into the danger zone.

This field of weeds is so dense that it is impossible to see what is under your feet unless you cut it down.

Before walking far, Azima heard a bang, as if something had been pulled off, and then there was a rustling sound on the treetop, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter!

The twisted rope hidden somewhere was suddenly straightened, and the wooden stick on the top of the tree was ejected in one go!

At the same time, Roser also drew out his long sword!

“It’s over…” The guide closed his eyes immediately, as if he couldn’t bear to watch the woman die on the spot.

But Azima witnessed what happened next——

The Witch of God’s Punishment held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slapped back the shot sticks one by one like a fly!

Under the huge impact, most of the sticks shattered, but she acted with ease, as if it didn’t take much effort at all!

When the movement subsided, the grass around her was already a mess.

“This way the trap will be lifted,” Roser put his sword back into its sheath, and shrugged to everyone, “Let’s continue on our way.”

Realizing what happened, Nuff sat down on the floor in shock.

…

“Aha… I knew all of you adults are highly skilled and skilled, and you are worthy of being a big shot in the capital!” After the guide finally recovered from the shock, he immediately changed his rhetoric, “Especially this warrior, swordsmanship It can be described as superb!”

“There’s no need to talk nonsense,” Rosser interrupted. “You’d better explain why there are such traps in the mountains? Those wooden sticks and spears are hard to use against wild beasts, right?”

This is also the question Azima wants to ask.

“It is indeed used to deal with people,” Naf replied honestly, “The more you go up the mountain, the more traps there are, so Cage Mountain has another name, it is called Trap Mountain-these things are left by the lords of the past. The only purpose of those who came down is to guard against the Wolfheart Kingdom.”

“Wolfheart?” Sean repeated.

“That’s right. This mountain range extends almost from the sea to the old holy city. It can be regarded as the natural boundary between the two countries. Because the terrain of Chenxi is lower, it is like being surrounded by it in a cage. That’s why Cage Mountain got its name.” Naf explained, “But the problem lies in the shape of the mountain—you should have noticed when you are at the foot of the mountain. The south side of Cage Mountain is like a gentle slope. It looks very high, but it is very easy to walk down. This has caused the neighboring countries to The bandits, hunters and refugees from China often invaded Chenxi’s border territory through the cage mountain. At first they just searched for resources in the mountain, and then they simply ran into the village to steal and rob, which made the local people panic. The lord was also very headache, so he simply I thought of a solution once and for all, that is to give up Cage Mountain.”

“So that’s how it is…” Mal Tokat suddenly said, “Such a thing happened on the border.”

“Your Excellency naturally doesn’t want to attract the king’s attention, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com” Naf continued, “Besides, we are not the poor people opposite, they can’t survive without relying on mountains and mountains, we just need to change our jobs After the mountain was closed, the lord sent people to plant fast-growing weeds and vines inside, and set up a lot of traps. This custom has been passed down from generation to generation, and Cage Mountain has become what it is today.”

So you turned it into a real cage, blocking each other, but also imprisoning yourself, Azima thought.

If it was His Majesty Roland Wimbledon, he would definitely not choose to do this.

That guy’s eyes were always looking into the distance, even when he was giving her a task, the focus didn’t always fall on her.

No, why should I think of him at this time?

Azima shook her head again and again.

Your Majesty is just an employer.

Hurry up to complete the task and strive to return to Doris and the others as soon as possible.

…

Sure enough, as the guide said, the group encountered several traps afterwards, but they basically had no effect on God’s Punishment Witch.

Just as the night was approaching, Azima suddenly saw the green light on the coin become more vigorous!

Behind a dense forest, a dazzling light source also appeared. There seemed to be countless light spots running back and forth between the two, forming a bright bridge of light.

This is a source-level reaction!

She finally found another source!

However, when the exploration team followed Azima’s instructions and passed through the dense forest, everyone couldn’t help but froze in place.

It was actually an abandoned building half hidden in the mountainside. The dilapidated stone gate was bottomless, and the pillars engraved with strange symbols on both sides clearly proved that it was not a natural thing.

Azima also widened her eyes in surprise.

Didn’t Your Majesty say that what she was looking for was a strange ore?

Why does the source appear in a ruin that seems to have been abandoned for a long time?
