Great Single Player of the Heavens

The pursuers led by Stephen, Bonnet, and Riens followed the faint horseshoe prints on the snow and soon came outside the valley where the lake was.

For fear of missing the girl, and on the advice of the bounty hunter, everyone decided to split up and surrounded them from both sides of the lake.

Bonnet and Riens led half of the men and horses, flew towards the left bank of the lake, and soon disappeared into the black forest.

"Well, we should go now."

However, when "Grey Forest Owl" finished speaking, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

As soon as he turned his horse's head, he saw a few of his men standing still on the spot, with no intention of starting at all.

Among them, the female psionicist who indirectly awakened the magic in Xili's body in Unicorn Village, said indifferently:

"My coroner, we wanted to go with you, but now, we are going back, we have had enough."

"We? Who are we? What is this, rebellion?" The most loyal subordinate beside Stephen couldn't help shouting.

"You are ruining your future, wasting a once-in-a-century opportunity. More importantly, you will be sent to the gallows, along with these idiots who believe in you." Stephen said with a serious expression.

"People who are destined to go to the gallows will not drown." The female psionicist said lightly: "You shouldn't threaten us with an executioner, because you don't know who is closer to the gallows..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy man standing behind the "Grey Forest Owl" suddenly kicked the horse in the belly and drove the horse out:

"Wait! I'll go with you! I've had enough! I dreamt of my tragic death last night, I don't want to lose my life for this despicable and suspicious task."

Seeing the number of opponents, the "Grey Forest Owl" had to dispel the idea of ​​cleaning up the traitors, but stared at those fearsome eyes, and said viciously:

"Very well, you have chosen your own way. I don't need to continue to waste saliva. However, we will meet again, I want you to promise..."

"Maybe on the same gallows, or in hell, who knows..."

After leaving this sentence, the female psionicist and three other companions drove the horse away from this frost-sweeping area...

. . .

The two teams merged by the lake in the valley.

Seeing another team with a few people missing, Bonnet and Riens were obviously very dissatisfied with the management methods of the chief coroner of the empire.

Even so, they can only temporarily abandon those cowards who fled, and continue their primary task-hunting down Xili.

The valley was filled with dense fog, but it did not affect their understanding of the terrain in the valley.

Because, before that, Wigofortes had asked them to find this lake in advance, and described the information of the lake carefully to them in advance.

Tarn Mira is the name of the lake. The lake looks very narrow, like a crescent with a slight curvature.

"The place where we are standing is the southern end of the lake. If the wizard is not mistaken, the magic tower should be at the northern end." After a pause, the cautious bounty hunter couldn't help looking at the tracker ahead and reminded: "Polyas, pay attention to the traces! Don't lose it,"

"The traces are clear and new! It leads directly to the lake!"

The moment the horse tentatively stepped on the ice surface, the ice surface instantly cracked, and the long cracks spread out radioactively, which was extremely frightening.

"Get off the horse! This ice is too thin!"

After a few of his subordinates had personally experienced the taste of falling into the water, Stephen had to give an order to dismount the horse and turn to a walking pursuit.

The ice surface is smooth and transparent, and when they lower their heads, they can even vaguely see the perch swimming freely under the ice surface and the wagging aquatic plants.

In the thick fog where they can't see their fingers, the only clues they can follow are footprints on the ice.

"Found her!"

The tracking master who walked in the front yelled suddenly: "She didn't choose the lakeshore or the forest, but went straight to the middle of the lake! Ha, she is not as smart as she looks..."

"According to the master, crossing the middle of the lake is a shortcut to the magic tower. She also knows about this." In a low voice, Riens kept asking: "How much faster is she than us?"

The hunter knelt down on the ice, leaned over and looked at the footprints on the ice for a while, then estimated:

"Half an hour, not longer, the footprints are very clear. And on this smooth ice surface, it is impossible to move fast, she is at most half a mile ahead of us!"

Hearing that, the bounty hunter seemed to have seen the scene where Xili was caught again, and couldn't help but smile cruelly:

"Then what are we waiting for?!"

The closer they get to their prey, it makes them feel like addicts who have taken anesthetic powder. They are excited and boiled with enthusiasm, without even noticing that the fog on the lake is getting thicker and thicker...

As the thick fog continued to deepen, the tracker who walked in the forefront reacted with hindsight:

"The footprints are very new! She is right in front of us, right in front of us! But why can't we see her?"

As soon as these words came out, another sensitive tracker also found something wrong:

"Why can't we hear her voice? When we step on the ice and snow, we all make a noise! ​​But why can't we hear a little movement of her?!"

"She is in this thick fog... but we can't see her. I don't know from which direction she will attack..." The slightly trembling voice was obviously covered with a layer of fear.

The tracking master who walked in the forefront drew out the long sword with a "zoom".

"Damn it! Don't talk nonsense!"

Although "Grey Forest Owl" Stephen rang out in time, facing the unknown fear, it spread like a sudden outbreak of plague.

Others drew their weapons one after another, and instinctively stood beside their companions.

Upon seeing this, Riens, with a burn on his face, immediately cursed angrily: "She is not a ghost! She is just a little girl, a girl who can't even make magic! We have ten people, what are you afraid of!"

While guarding against possible attacks in the thick fog at any time, the tense chasers, while keeping their steps as light as possible, so as not to fall under the suddenly cracked ice.

During the period, Bonnet proposed to go back and lead the horse alone, and let everyone form a fan-shaped queue to continue forward.

Although I am not satisfied with the bounty hunter's self-assertion. However, in order not to put too much weight on the ice under their feet, the group obediently followed the advice.

Follow the footprints~www.ltnovel.com~ The chasers are getting closer to the center of the lake.

At this moment, the sensitive tracker in the team frowned and suddenly stopped, "Don't move! Did you hear that? What sound?"

"I heard nothing."

"I heard...swishes, like the sound of rubbing ice... It should be from the left, our side."

"I heard it too." The Grey Forest Owl looked around nervously, "but now it's quiet again, **** it. It's not good..."

"Footprints! We can still see her footprints!" Riens said mercilessly: "Don't you have eyes? If she wants to turn or turn back, the footprints will change! We are about to catch up with her. , I can guarantee that she is right there..."

At this moment, Riens's chatter stopped abruptly.

The others invariably took a breath.

Because, not far ahead, the straight and clear footprints on the ice suddenly disappeared!
