Release that Witch - Chapter 290
[Chapter 289 West of the Western Territory]
Lightning dug out the “adventure supplies” he carried with him and checked again.
Fire sickles, tinder, bandages, daggers, maps, and a bag of dry food stuffed with beef floss.
“Where’s yours?” She looked at Maggie, “check it too.”
“Goo!”
Maggie put her hand into the satchel—this cloth bag is usually hidden under her fluffy hair, it’s hard to see clearly inside How many things can be stuffed, and after turning into a bird, clothes and satchels seem to disappear out of thin air.
Compared to her own flight being strictly restricted by weight, Maggie seems to be less affected by this. The best proof is that she took out far more things than herself.
Dried meat, meat floss, chicken legs, fish fillets, eggs, piles of food were placed in front of Lightning.
“Oh my god,” she said with her hands on her forehead, “we are going on an adventure, not a barbecue in the wild, at least you have to bring a weapon.”
“Coo coo!” Maggie touched her mouth.
“You want to say that your beak is a weapon?” Lightning sighed, “If you meet a Judgment Army dressed like a can, it will be strange if you can peck open his armor! Hey, forget it…Anyway, it only takes a day, There shouldn’t be any danger. Let’s go.”
“Oh! Coo!” The opponent immediately turned into a pigeon, ran two steps, and flew close to the ground for a long time before slowly rising.
Well, maybe the weight still has an effect on her.
Lightning pulled down the windshield, leaped lightly, and flew in front of her.
I remember that when I first met Maggie, I launched an air chase in the woodland to the south. Although the fat pigeon couldn’t escape my palm at that time, it took at least some effort to throw her down.
Looking at it now, I am afraid that she can be caught in the blink of an eye.
It’s impossible to go on like this. It’s rare to have a partner who can fly. In the future, she will have to help her carry the exploration tools. The little girl thought to herself, it seems that she needs to exercise hard.
“Coo, coo?”
Lightning slowed down and walked side by side with Maggie, “Speak well!”
“I want to ask, where are we going to explore, coo?” Pigeon opened and closed its mouth.
“The westernmost part of the Hidden Forest. I want to see how big this forest is.” Lightning pulled out the map and spread it out, pointing to the blank space on the west side. Where did they
come from?”
After Maggie returned from the fjord, she immediately started preparing for this expedition, and anyway, during free practice, His Highness didn’t care where they flew.
And the little girl still has a secret in her heart that she hasn’t told the other party – she no longer dares to explore the forest alone.
This is a shame and humiliation for an explorer.
But she couldn’t lie to herself, the trip to the stone tower made her afraid of this deep forest.
As soon as she thought that those terrifying monsters might be hiding somewhere in the forest, she couldn’t help but wanted to escape as soon as possible.
Fortunately, she is still the daughter of the greatest explorer.
Lei Ting once mentioned to her the way to overcome fear, that is to approach it a little bit, then observe it, understand it, and finally find that “fear” is not so terrible.
Because it comes from the obstacles in the heart.
This expedition was Lightning’s attempt, and with Maggie’s company, she felt at least a little more confident.
The chosen route is also very safe, heading west along the Chishui River, without going deep into the forest, so it is unlikely to encounter the devil in this way.
After flying this route by yourself, try it alone next time.
She believed that one day, she would draw a map of the entire western region by herself, step into the stone tower again, and reveal the truth about the holy city of Taquila.
…
Lightning controlled the speed at about 60 kilometers along the way, and now she can precisely adjust the speed through the release of magic power. According to the current consumption, she can continue to fly for a whole day.
And the way of flying along the river and the edge of the forest also made her a lot easier. Compared with the last search for the stone tower, the entire field of vision was dark green, and she couldn’t tell the direction and height, looking gloomy and depressing; now there is a sparkling With the sparkling silver belt and Maggie chattering in his ears all the time, Lightning felt that the fear was gradually fading.
“Look, there is a mountain in front of you!”
Lightning also saw this incomparable mountain—even though it was far away, its gray figure already explained its majesty.
At the same time, the hilly area on the side of the river shrunk sharply, and the mountain peaks close to the sea seemed to be gathered inland, getting closer and closer to the Chishui River, and finally completely connected to the Silver Belt.
“This mountain is a bit too big,” she couldn’t help feeling, as the distance continued to shorten, the outline of the mountain became more and more clear.
Its top is white, as if piercing directly into the clouds. Although it is not as undulating for thousands of miles as the Impassable Mountains, in terms of height, it is higher than the three or four Impassable Mountains combined.
The mountains in the southern hills are just a corner of it, and the source of the Chishui River also comes from this magnificent mountain.
“The Hidden Forest is over!” Maggie exclaimed excitedly.
I saw that the dark green color block under the feet finally ended here, and the land returned to light green again—it should be a grassland, but further forward, the range of sight turned into a smear of darkness, covering all the way to the foot of the mountain.
“Let’s go down and have a look,” Lightning gestured, and swooped down towards the pitch-black ground.
She soon discovered that it was a ground made of black stones.
“What is this?” Maggie pecked twice after landing, “I can’t seem to eat goo!”
“Of course I can’t eat it,” Lightning picked up a black stone and looked it over carefully. It looked angular, although it was pitch black , but you can see the metallic luster when turning it in the sun.
And such stones are everywhere, mixed with the sparse soil, at first glance it looks like the earth has been soaked in ink.
“This may be some kind of ore. Take two pieces back to show His Highness.”
The next step was the drawing work. She returned to the sky and began to record the nearby terrain in detail.
It took almost half a morning to reach the foot of the towering mountain from Border Town, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com In other words, it is about 240 kilometers away from the town, which is much farther than Changsong Fortress.
And this high mountain… A thought suddenly popped up in Lightning’s mind, what would be the scene behind such a huge mountain?
Is it a vast jungle, or rolling hills and mountains?
After the fear recedes, the thought becomes irrepressible once it arises.
It is obviously difficult to cross the mountains, and the snow on the summit alone can make people daunting.
Then there is another route, which is to go around from the sea, and you don’t even need to go around the back of the mountain. You only need to fly obliquely towards the center of the sea, and you can cast your sight behind the mountain.
Lightning called Maggie, told her not to move around, then put on the windshield, and instantly increased the speed to the limit—the magic power was released quickly, and the strong wind that rushed to her head threw all her short hair behind her head. Constantly retreating, the blue ocean filled the entire field of vision.
After flying like this for about half an hour, she could already faintly see the scene behind the high mountain.
It seemed that there were also continuous mountains behind to separate the sea from the land, but then Lightning saw a scene that made his blood coagulate all over his body.
At the end of the field of vision, a layer of reddish-brown thick fog covered the mountains, as thick as blood that could not be melted, and the fog spread westward, almost invisible.
