Chapter 48 Lady in the Forest

On the stone platform, there was a fat figure with a lazy look, a forest spirit.

A forest spirit is a very rare monster, with the appearance of a goat and a fat man.

Usually, this creature is not dangerous, and most of them only make some annoying pranks and steal crops from farmland.

Forest spirits often pretend to be land gods to deceive fools to offer food and drink to themselves.

They are lazy, cunning, and lazy. Compared with hunting, they prefer to do nothing every day, smoking pipes, eating delicious food, and drinking fine wine.

The forest spirit in front of him hid half of his fat in the shadows, and his face and body were covered with red and black paint to make himself look more like a powerful god. Note ①

But with Marvin's current vision, he can see the true identity of this fat man without turning on the low-light vision.

"Ah...your name, mortal." The forest spirit said in a calm voice, "Forget it, you will give it a new name when you reach the top of the mountain anyway. Okay, you can go."

Marvin wanted to confirm it again, he asked: "Is the Lady of the Forest up there now?"

The forest spirit stared at him fiercely and said: "Be respectful to the lady. You should use honorifics..."

I've had enough. Not calling her "old witch" is already polite enough, and these people are not going to stop...

He jumped onto the stone platform in three steps and kicked the fat forest spirit over.

Before the monster got up, an iron boot stepped on its fat neck, and the sharp tip of the knife stopped 1 cm in front of its eyeballs.

Marvin said in a cold tone: "Answer the question, Fatty."

As the guard dog of the Lady of the Forest, this forest spirit has not been offended like this for many years, and he was very angry.

The forest spirit tilted his head, avoided the tip of the knife with his eyes, and stood up.

Marvin moved his wrist slightly, and the tip of the knife pierced into the left eye of the forest spirit. He then stepped on the upper body of the forest spirit with his left foot, making a muffled bang.

The forest spirit screamed and tried to kick, but it didn't work because his stomach was too big and his thighs were too short.

Marvin's knife tip went down little by little, and he asked in a steady tone: "You have 5 seconds. Are those three old witches going to take the road ahead?"

The forest spirit continued to scream, because there was too much fat on his neck, even if his neck was stepped on, it did not affect his voice.

A blue light flashed, and snap... Marvin cut off a long horn on the monster's head.

Ah~! The forest spirit howled miserably.

Click, the other horn was also cut off.

Marvin raised his foot and stepped on the mouth of the forest elf, interrupting his screams, and then stabbed the forest elf's shoulder with another knife, and the blade slid down little by little...

"There are 3 seconds left."

"2 seconds."

"I said! Yes, just go in along the cave."

The knife stopped, but it was not pulled out...

"No fork in the road?"

"No, no." The forest elf shook his head vigorously. Blood spurted out from its eyes and broken horns, and with its aggrieved fat face, it looked quite pitiful.

Marvin slashed his knife with his backhand, completely saving the monster from pain, and swung the long knife and put it away.

Nothing.

...

Marvin walked deeper into the cave, passing a dirt cave with countless roots hanging down, and in front of him was a staircase, with several wooden sticks standing on both sides of the staircase, and skulls stuck on the wooden sticks.

This style of painting is very consistent with the three old witches.

After climbing the steps, the ground turned into rugged gravel and soil, and the rumbling sound of water came from the front.

An underground river flowed in from one side and poured down from a vertical hole, forming a rumbling waterfall.

Marvin stood on the edge of the pit and looked out. It was a bit dark. After adding dim vision, he could see clearly that there was a pool of water below, receiving the water from the waterfall.

Floatation, Marvin jumped down.

During the fall, he quickly grabbed the stalactite not far away with the magician's hand and fell to the ground beside the pool.

Although he was not worried about falling into the water, it was uncomfortable to fight with a wet body.

Looking around, Marvin found the exit and continued to walk deeper. There was light in front.

Marvin left the cave and walked into the light.

This is a huge cave, dozens of meters long and wide. The top is dark and I don’t know how high it is, but there is a big hole in the top of the cave where you can see the night sky. Under your feet is ankle-deep water and mud.

The source of the light came from a bonfire on the right, with a huge clay pot on top. The food cooked inside could not be published on any platform or website.

Three naked blonde girls were teasing each other and stirring the soup pot with a long-handled wooden spoon, occasionally tasting the soup and bones.

Marvin knew that the beauty was just an illusion of the three old witches, but the soup pot was probably real. He suppressed his nausea and walked towards the bonfire.

"Ah, the blood of the ancients..." A woman raised her head and laughed, her tone playful, "You still found us, hehe... but..."

It's the news they sent to Ain El.

Although Marvin didn't know how they did it, it didn't matter. Solving the creatures that caused trouble could also solve the trouble.

Marvin didn't plan to chat with them before the battle. He stood in the middle of the venue...

"Sisters, he seems to have bad intentions..."

A gray mist rose, and the three beauties showed their true colors.

The three ugly old witches are:

The weaver, who wears a pointed hat, has a hunched back, and one eye is blocked by a group of flies;

The whisperer, who covers her head and face with a strange hood and scarf, and carries a bulging bloodstained white cloth bag;

The fat and tall cook woman covered her face with a wicker basket. Note ②

Before the three old witches transformed, Marvin had already activated the protective magic of the necklace and began to concentrate on casting spells.

The cook woman stepped forward with thick legs, splashing sewage and mud, and rushed over with a bang; the whispering woman disbanded into a group of crows and flew towards Marvin; the weaver woman sank into the accumulated water and disappeared.

The fat body of the cook woman hit the white shield and bounced back, and the shield did not react at all; the crows hit the shield and scattered; the weaver woman still did not appear.

Crack, crack, crack...

The accumulated water quickly froze at low temperatures, and the weaver woman was frozen as soon as she showed her upper body behind Marvin, struggling left and right...

The crows were blown away by the sudden strong wind and could not fly, and finally turned into whispering women and fell on the ice.

The cook woman pulled her feet out of the ice, but a layer of skin and flesh was left.

The cooking lady rushed over regardless, beating the shield with her three-fingered hand.

The weaving lady was still fighting against the ice.

The whispering lady ran to the soup pot and overturned it. The red soup and minced meat flowed out in a large area. She stood in the soup and began to cast a spell...

All the plants in the venue began to grow wildly. The vines and shrubs broke through the ice, and the roots spread from the top of the head downward.

Snowflakes condensed in the air, dancing with the strong wind, and the roots hanging from the top of the cave were hit by the snowflakes.

The vines entangled the white spherical shield, and the shrub branches broke through the ice and spread...

The drooping roots finally merged with the vines below and tightly wrapped around the spherical shield...

The cooking lady stepped back a few steps to avoid being entangled.

The weaving lady finally pulled herself out of the broken ice. She ran to the soup pot and planned to help the whispering lady cast a spell.

The strong wind turned into a whirlwind, and the snowflakes grew rapidly...

The cooking woman who was cut by the snowflakes wanted to run, but Marvin stood between them and the exit, where the wind was the strongest and the snowflakes were the densest. The cooking woman finally returned to the soup pot to accompany her sisters.

Marvin could only barely see the situation outside through the gap. Anyway, it was all white, so it didn't matter whether he saw it or not. He continued to cast spells with concentration...

The low temperature finally affected the vines and roots. They were frozen, cut, and shattered and swept up by the whirlwind.

Even at the edge, the three old witches were still swayed by the strong wind and cut by the snowflakes.

Because there was no water, the weaving woman could not escape or hide, and she was anxious.

Because the cooking woman was the tallest, she was cut the hardest by the snowflakes and was lying on the ground wailing.

The whispering woman tried to turn into a flock of crows to escape several times, but she was swept away by the strong wind and had no way to do it, and she also lost a few crows.

When the old witches were at a loss, Marvin stopped casting spells, put on the Quen shield, and teleported to the sky above the witches with the barely visible figure.

After teleporting, the weaver was just under his feet. He raised his hands high, pulled out the long sword with runes from the void, and chopped down!

The weaver had no time to react, and was split into two pieces from the shoulder to the side ribs, and the red and black blood flowed all over the ground.

Although the blizzard continued, it had begun to weaken...

The whispering woman reacted the fastest, staggering to help, but was blown away by the wind.

The cooking woman also reacted at this time, like a smelly hairless giant bear, she braved the wind and snow, crushed the ice, and rushed towards the enemy.

Marvin turned around, raised his sword to meet the cooking woman...

He ducked to avoid the attack, dragged the sword with both hands and slashed horizontally...

Crack, the cooking woman's thick leg was cut in half.

Marvin pushed the ground with his front foot, turned around and swung the long sword upwards.

With a stab, the fat man was stabbed in the back and staggered.

Ma Wen slid to catch up, cut off Zhu Po's left arm with a knife, and then swept with his left foot.

Bang, Zhu Po fell to the ground with her head, uttering a muffled groan.

Mar Wen turned around with the force of the sweeping leg, chopped vertically, and beheaded.

The wind and snow at the edge were much smaller at this time, and the whispering woman staggered along the wall of the cave to the other side, where there was a big hole on the top of the cave leading to the outside world.

The whispering woman had wanted to run a long time ago, but she was not sure that she could pass through the strong wind area in the middle, so she could only run around the edge for a while.

Mar Wen's teleportation in the wind and snow just now was a risky attempt. Now there was only one left among the three old witches, so there was no need to try his luck again, and he raised his foot to chase.

The old witch saw that she was about to be caught up, gritted her teeth and turned into a flock of crows, fluttering... flying diagonally towards the top of the cave.

This won't work. Marvin saw where the crows were going and teleported.

He appeared above the crows, and Alder's seal - piercing.

The crows scattered under the impact of telekinesis, and then turned back to Whispering Woman and fell to the ground with a bang.

Marvin teleported again and appeared above the witch. He could behead her with a drop, but his upper body was blown crooked by the strong wind.

Finally, he stepped on the old witch's calf.

Crack, the calf was crushed, and Marvin still couldn't control his body and took two steps back.

Snap, snowflakes and strong winds shattered the Quen shield and cut thin blood on his face.

Ding, Gus pattern nails into the ice, Marvin stabilized his body and moved forward against the wind and snow...

The three famous ladies in the forest, in a blink of an eye, only one was left alive, and Whispering Woman was terrified at this moment.

Fear also brought motivation. It didn't care about adding another scar on its face, and turned over and got up.

Alder Seal - Bone-piercing.

Bang, the Whispering Witch fell down again, and the back of her head hit.

Marvin hurried over, stepped on her chest, and decapitated her.

…

Before coming, Marvin had rehearsed the battle many times in his mind.

He didn't know what the three old witches had, but they certainly didn't understand his current actual combat power.

Only by opening the Kronos Pendant at the beginning and using his current strongest range magic "Blizzard" hard control can the three monsters avoid using strange means, avoid getting hurt, and try not to let them run out to inform Ileris.

Even so, one of them almost ran away. It's still not strong enough.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will have to fight with Ileris later, so he must try to avoid getting hurt.

The magic effect of the blizzard has completely ended. Marvin leaned against the stone wall for ten minutes before touching the bodies of the three old witches one by one.

The first one is the Whispering Witch.

Cook, you are not good, there is nothing.

Don't rush to add points, the way out has not been found yet.

It is unrealistic to keep someone alive to ask for directions. The other party is a dark druid who has lived for who knows how long. His methods are too strange, and it is not certain that he can ask the way out. It is better to find it by himself.

With the pure meat druid Zhu Po here, there must be a normal way to walk here.

He first walked around in this cave, but there was nothing useful, and there was no other exit.

After another circle, he found a cave entrance blocked by illusion on the way here.

After walking forward for a while, he was sure that this was the exit.

Considering that he will face a strong enemy soon, and if he really can't beat it, these 5 attribute points will not bring much change.

On the contrary, if he adds points now, he will make mistakes due to insufficient adaptation time.

The slightest mistake in the battle may cost his life, so he decided not to add points for the time being.

The following picture shows you these three ugly things. I went to find a video screenshot again. After all, the game has been uninstalled for a long time.

To apologize, I will add another chapter today.
