Release that Witch - Chapter 1236

[Chapter 1205 Dangerous Signal]

Early the next morning, Lightning told Maggie about his plan. After a brief discussion, the two decided not to search the Stone Forest area layer by layer, but to speed up their pace and fly straight to the Rift Valley Terrace.

Regardless of whether there are new discoveries, after drawing the topographic map of the area, return to the Snowy Ridge of Eternal Winter to meet the Taquila Witch.

At this moment, the sun has just emerged from the skyline, mist has spread among the mountains, and streaks of hoarfrost can be seen in the criss-crossing waterways, which are the traces left by the flood discharge last night.

And as the terrain climbs slowly, more and more white is seen in the field of vision, until the mountains and plains are all over the place – while the Great Rift Valley in the distance is completely covered by snow, and looks like an upside-down white porcelain from a distance. giant bowl.

According to estimates, it is about 300 kilometers away from the Kingdom of Eternal Winter, and its area is large enough to be as large as the extreme south.

This rift valley was also recorded in the Federation’s Dawn Realm map, and it was believed that it was formed by a volcanic eruption, but it has now completely subsided.

Lightning has also seen those craters on the Scorching Fire Islands that spit out thick smoke and sulfur all day long, but compared to this mountain range, the scale is really much worse.

Two hours later, the expedition approached the Great Rift Valley.

The whole picture of this spectacular and peculiar terrain was finally displayed in the eyes of the two of them.

“It’s… so big,” Maggie exclaimed, flapping her wings, “It feels like an entire kingdom can be packed into this pit.”

Lightning nodded involuntarily. The rift valley she thought was not actually a fault in the earth, and the shape of a mesa was definitely not a mountain peak here, but the ground seemed to be pushed open from the inside to the outside. The rock formations form irregular “mountain walls”, which look like scars on the earth when viewed from a high altitude.

If this was really a “break” caused by an eruption, how amazing would it be at that time?

The two of them lowered their altitude and landed two or three kilometers away from the Great Rift Valley—to be on the safe side, Maggie was usually the one who took the lead. Definitely recognize it.

“Listen well,” Lightning warned, “Don’t go deep into the cave, circle around the gap and come back. If you find anything unusual, you must never go alone—”

“Be sure to report to the leader first, and then decide on the next move together.” Maggie interrupted, “I know I know goo, you’ve said it many times… just like His Majesty Roland goo!”

“Uh, is that so?” Lightning rubbed the back of her head embarrassingly. She remembered that when Roland told her like this before, she complained to the team members in private. A genius explorer naturally knows how to make the most reasonable judgment. It needs to be told to come and go.

Looking back now, she was indeed too childish at that time.

“Ahem, in short, there is no harm in saying more important things! I will stay here and search the nearby area by the way. It will not exceed one kilometer at most. Remember this location and return within 30 minutes. I understand. ?”

“No problem goo!”

“Very good, let’s go.” Lightning patted her on the shoulder.

“Maggie, let’s go!” The latter flapped his wings and flew towards the center of the Great Rift Valley.

It wasn’t until her figure completely disappeared from sight that Lightning withdrew his gaze and looked around carefully.

The snowy owl is a common bird in this area. It is a kind of owl. It can be active during the day and night and has excellent eyesight. As long as you don’t act rashly, the possibility of accidents is extremely low.

It turns out that she herself is much more exposed—there are glaciers everywhere, and there are almost no traces of animals. If a devil suddenly appears, she will become the most conspicuous target.

So rather than looking for signs of enemy activity, Lightning first looks for places to hide or hide.

She can no longer leave all the troubles to others to clean up like before.

However, in less than five minutes, there was a rushing sound of flying overhead.

Lightning couldn’t help being taken aback for a moment, and just as he looked around, he saw Maggie swooping down in a panic and crashing headfirst into her arms.

“There are demons, devils!” the little girl yelled.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there is really a God Stone vein here?

“what have you found?”

“A huge vigilant beholder is lying on the stone wall below the entrance of the cave, gooing!” Maggie danced and gestured, “I just flew over the entrance of the cave, and I met it’s eyes!”

That means the beholder saw her too.

Lightning couldn’t help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he didn’t always rush first as usual. Seeing a witch is completely different from seeing a bird. A snowy owl should not arouse the other party’s vigilance.

“Then, you didn’t scream out on the spot, did you?” Just in case, she asked one more question.

“Of course, I’m an experienced bird—no, explorer!” Maggie puffed up her chest and said, “Don’t talk about screaming, I didn’t even blink my eyes at that time, and I even pretended to be looking around. Quietly looking away Goo! I bet it’s forgotten me by now Goo!”

Another picture flashed through Lightning’s mind.

A snowy owl opened its eyes wide, and stared at the warning beholder on the rock wall, then turned its head away, deliberately turning away…

“Oops, oops!” She grabbed Maggie violently and rushed towards a hidden spot she found before!

“Gu?” The latter hadn’t reacted yet.

It was an ice cave hundreds of meters away. Probably because of the surrounding rocks blocking it, the snow did not fill the crack below, just enough for one person to hide.

Lightning rushed into the cave and lowered his body, only showing half of his head to look at the top of the rift valley.

A moment later, a “door” exuding a strange luster appeared in midair out of thin air.

Then a devil came out of the door, just suspended above the Great Rift Valley.

Lightning felt that even her breathing slowed a bit—on the opponent, she felt no less pressure than facing Ersruk directly.

The devil looked around for a while, and suddenly rushed down the mountain!

For a moment, Lightning felt that the blood in her whole body was about to freeze. UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com almost subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away. instinctive reaction.

The devil plunged headlong into the ice and snow, splashing a cloud of white mist, and when it stood up again, it already had a snowy owl in its hand.

Lightning swallowed, and touched his chest involuntarily—

Fortunately, Maggie is still there.

The devil brought the terrified snowy owl closer and stared at it for a long time, then finally shook his head in disappointment and let go of it.

The latter immediately screamed and flew towards the sky, and quickly turned into a white dot.

The devil didn’t stay for too long, it clasped its hands again, tore open the door of different light in front of nothing, then stepped into it, and disappeared in front of the two of them.

Lightning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, the whereabouts of the expedition group were finally not exposed.

“Gu… what should we do next?” Maggie finally realized her “wrong reaction” at this moment, and asked with her head drooping.

If it had been in the past, Lightning would probably choose to try to sneak in from another place—the Great Rift Valley is so wide, even the Vigilance Beholder cannot monitor every corner.

For explorers, although there is only one person between the first discoverer and the second discoverer, their meanings are completely different.

If she can, she always wants to be the first person.

But at this moment, she is not a simple explorer, but the leader of the Neverwinter Expedition Group, and also a sentinel for the First Army to broaden its horizons.

No matter what is hidden under the Great Rift Valley, beware of the appearance of beholders and high-level devils is an extremely dangerous signal!

She must pass this news back to Neverwinter as soon as possible, and inform His Majesty Roland Wimbledon.

“Let’s go to Manxue Ridge and meet the Taquila witch,” Lightning bit his lips and said, “This mountain range is no longer a safe area for no one to set foot in.”
