Chapter 28 Weather Changes
If only Andrea could vaguely see the greenness of the sky five days ago, now, five days later, even Xiang En could clearly see that the clouds were soaked in a dark green color.
On the 46th day of living in the village, the two prepared to exercise as usual, but their brows were filled with unresolved worries.
After changing their clothes and walking out of the wooden house, the two of them were immediately slapped by the rustling cold wind. After finishing their messy hair and looking at the sky, the dark green clouds in the morning came into view.
"The clouds here still haven't faded..."
The dark green sky above her head reminded Andrea of the painful experiences she hadn't forgotten, like the flood that destroyed the world, and the afterglow of the high-level spells around Greystone City.
The same is true for Xiang En, ignoring the strange feeling of green on the top of his head, and simply thinking about the incidents of massacring cities and villages, he becomes uneasy.
Struggling left and right for a while, the weird sky was like a beast devouring people, and finally made him make up his mind.
"Pack up your things, let's go to Greystone City!"
"Ah?" Hearing Xiang En's arrangement, Andrea was slightly taken aback, "Now?"
"right!"
After getting an affirmative answer, Andrea didn't procrastinate, and started to put all the things she needed into her backpack, and helped Xiang En pack those totems that were relatively inconvenient to pick up.
While the two were packing their things, a strong wind began to blow in the dark green sky, which couldn't blow people away, but the leaves in the forest were blown into the sky, a scene of stormy weather.
Xiang En carried five trap totems on his back, and four goat totems stuffed into his multi-pocket windbreaker. The remaining carved totems were left in the house. If there is a chance, he can come back to pick them up later.
Bring food and jerky, add a few more bags of water, and carry two daggers with you to complete the preparation.
As always, Andrea carried a large package, which was full of clothes and food, and enough water for two people to drink for three days.
Originally, she didn't want to bring so much water, but Xiang En insisted on bringing it, so she could only let it go.
Putting on the big sword and going out, seeing the worsening weather, the two of them put on animal skin cloaks again. If it rains later, the cloaks can block the rain.
After the preparations were completed, the nostalgia between the two was overwhelmed by an inexplicable tense atmosphere, and they left without any muddle, even though there were still many useful things that they hadn't had time to get.
Benedict!
A trap totem was inserted by Xiang En at the gate of the village. After the two protruding horns of the trap totem connected an orange-red lightning like a thunderbolt, the totem gradually became transparent and disappeared in place. Only Xiang En could see.
This was the first time Andrea saw Xiang En's totem magic. She was a little surprised, but she didn't think too much about it. She followed Xiang En away without saying a word, and her figure disappeared into the dark forest like a ghost.
rumble!
Thunderbolts gradually appeared in the dark green sky, and the accumulated clouds finally showed signs of rain...
In the dark forest, Xiang En was holding a parchment map found in the village chief's house in his hand. His hands were emitting white light, and he was using the most basic magic power to illuminate his field of vision, so as to ensure that in the dark forest Can read the map.
"Hoo hoo!"
The clear panting sound and the sound of the body rubbing against the grass were very clear, and the visibility was less than 20 meters, which made Xiang En and Andrea gradually feel anxious, and their breathing began to increase.
The animals living in the forest have sensed that the storm is coming, and they are all hiding in their nests at this time, so quiet that it looks more and more like they have strayed into the black forest in some fairy tales.
Fortunately, the village is not far from Huishi City, and the two of them ran to the right place by mistake. According to the current speed, as long as they don't get lost, they can walk outside Huishi City in the afternoon.
The map is simple and easy to understand, and you will never go wrong if you follow the exit of the village. There are also a few traces of the villagers who have come out over the years on the road to help them guide the way.
The two buried their heads on the road, neither of them said a word, looking up at the green sky from time to time.
They didn't even stop to eat, because the dim sky had made the two of them lose their sense of time, and they had no desire to eat.
When it wasn't so green before, they thought it was a magical effect like the meteorite that fell in Graystone City that day, and it would disappear after a while, but they didn't expect it to become greener every day.
Xiang En is sure that something bad is going to happen again, and it may affect a wide range. Maybe they will die here before they can take Andrea home...
But even if he died, he still wanted to try his best to figure out what was going to happen.
There are two known places where the answer may be found, one is Greystone City and the other is D'Air City.
Deir City is at least five days away from them, so they can only go to Greystone City to find the answer.
After driving for half a day without stopping, the two finally entered a village near Huishi City through the gradually thinning woods.
There is no one in the village, but there are a lot of traces of people passing by, and the wheels of the car are almost pressing out the drain on the ground.
After walking forward for a while, when the two looked up, they could already see Greystone City shrouded in milky white magic light.
Sure enough, this place is also protected by a magic shield...
The two finally reached the edge of the village woods again, but after being startled, they quickly hid.
Below Graystone City, groups of people gathered, most of them had a strong aura on their bodies, and the swords in their hands were still stained with dried blood. Everyone's expression was as sluggish as if they had experienced a big battle. Line up quickly and orderly to enter Greystone City.
There were quite a lot of people in the long line, and there were many large and small bags dragged by various carriages. Xiang En guessed that those were food...
He also saw some plainly dressed young women being driven forward in one of the teams, which looked somewhat unique in the long line full of supplies.
Swish!
Just when the two of them were confused about the composition and purpose of this group of troops, the sound of a person's messy steps and a few begging for mercy came from the forest on one side.
"Please...don't chase...I just want to go to the city..."
Xiang En and Andrea looked at each other, and the wordless tacit understanding made them start to retreat.
A trap totem was left on the spot, and Xiang En stepped back while putting down the trap totem, leaving one at intervals for a total of three.
The sound got closer and closer, but the two people who were hiding just saw a stumbling person, and something pierced into that person's body in the darkness, and after hearing the whimpering sound, everything returned to calm.
Seeing this scene, Xiang En was a little anxious. They were still more than ten meters away from the person who was killed. Regardless of the strength of the person who was hiding, he inserted a trap totem behind him, and then deliberately made some noises. Seduce the other party to come closer.
A branch was broken, and there was a slightly rapid breathing sound.
"?"
A figure who was about to leave stopped, turned to look at Xiang En's position, and then his body disappeared into the darkness.
Andrea, who was hiding by Xiang En's side, had been watching the blurry figure. She didn't relax in the slightest after seeing him disappear, and continued to be vigilant. Suddenly, she sensed the tendency behind her, turned around immediately, and held the big man in her hand all the time. The sword stood in front of him like a shield.
when!
After the ear-piercing sound of metal and iron clanging, Xiang En also came to his senses, and quickly turned around to look.
"It's you!"
The faint light shone through the branches and leaves, reflecting a somewhat familiar face. Although they didn't know each other's name, Xiang En and Andrea were hunted down by him not long ago.
Ace stared at Xiang En with a ferocious smile. There seemed to be two flames spurting out of his eyes, and he recognized them. Aren't these two the mage and his guard who were bluffing before!
Every time I think of myself who ran back to the team in a panic at that time, Ace can't wait to go back to that time and slit the throats of Xiang and En!
The disappointed look in the head's eyes and the mage's stinky smile deeply hurt his heart.
This time he met two people again, and he wanted to cut an equilateral triangle on their throats in the cleanest way!
The thoughts in my head are turning back and forth, but the time in reality is just a meeting.
Just when Ace was about to jump back into the darkness and show off his proficient killing skills, an abstract totem with horns and a human face suddenly appeared in front of him.
There is also an orange-red lightning above the horn, which looks quite strange.
"What's this?!"
Boom!
The totem exploded, and a wave of magical power that directly hit the soul spread. Ace, who was facing the totem shock, was like a motion sickness patient who was stuffed into a drum washing machine for two hours after taking a five-hour long-distance bus. The uncontrollable dizziness made him He lost his way and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
"Cut... hands!"
What? !
Ace's drowsy brain was recovering quickly, and after he understood the meaning of this sentence, a sharp pain came from the right hand holding the dagger, which brought his dizzy brain back to normal.
Just as he was about to scream uncontrollably, a handful of dirt was forced into his mouth.
Benedict!
After stuffing Ace's mouth full of dirt, Xiang En stuck a trap totem next to his head, and then swung his fist with all his might, hitting Ace on the bridge of the nose.
Ace's eyes showed fear, looking at the "weak" fist, and the strange totem with orange light shining in front of his face, he shook his head desperately and struggled, he had lost his original anger, and only Fear remains, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
The bridge of the nose was hit solidly by Xiang En with all his strength, one punch after another, even though the mage's physical fitness was not as strong as the assassin's, the effect of hitting the vitals made Ace tearful in pain and stared at him.
At the same time, Andrea raised her sword again, and slashed at Ace's glaring legs with all her strength, her red eyes reflected joy.
