It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Ella was startled. She found that the "Night Bondage" she had set was broken free by a huge force, and the woman kneeling on the ground with her head tilted began to tremble and twitch.Something was flowing under her skin, the cheekboned features were pushed around, her brown skin was torn from the inside out.

Twisted, coiled joints emerged from Shedrin's skull and spine.

That shape reminded Ella of deer antlers, or twisted branches in the forest, and the black bone showed characteristics similar to both.

The skin was torn, and the flesh and bones swelled in an instant. When Xia Delin straightened up again, he had transformed into an inhuman monster.

It was more than ten feet tall, with thick hair spreading from the head to the deformed upper limbs that hung down to the ground. The skeleton was exposed, and the elk-like head had thick canine teeth.

"Shadelin's" animal skin costume has been completely torn, and black muscles and pale ribs are exposed under the rotten chest.

The beast's roar, which resembled laughter and was like an old man choking, echoed in the silent snowy forest. The hammer in it hit the ground, and the invisible shock spread to the surroundings.The already fragile morgue shook and collapsed.

Before the house collapsed, Ayla's fireball burst through the wall to create a hole big enough for the two of them to pass through, and she and Ling sprinted back out of the cabin.

The fragile structure of the house could not support the shock of the ground and the damage of the fireball to the load-bearing wall, and it collapsed together with the part above the ground, burying the monster and the morgue together.

The two of them did not relax their vigilance. Ella quickly recalled the dangerous creatures she knew about in her mind, but she had no clue at the moment.

The cold wind was restless, and the snow on the ground was blown up in large swaths, which made the already dim snow forest almost invisible.The blizzard became more violent, and it seemed that the blizzard of the entire forest was gathering at this center.

This is definitely an abnormal phenomenon, and the unknown monster is still silent in the ruins of the house. It is absolutely impossible for it to die so easily.

Amidst the loud noise, half a human corpse smashed through the wooden roof and smashed towards it. Ella passed it sideways, and the dehydrated and dehydrated body smashed into three twisted black tree trunks. There was a ripping sound, and the weight made it tear away the last bit of bark and fell knee-deep in the snow.

A pair of gray wings spread out from Ling's back, and three steel knife-like feathers pierced through the wind and snow curtain, flying back along the trajectory of the corpse.

Although he could hardly see, Ling did have a premonition of a hit, and the feather seemed to be pierced into the mud and made a disgusting popping sound.

The huge black shadow gradually became clear in the wind and snow, and the monster's breath was mixed with stench of heat.

The monotonous singing voice containing magic power and specific melody was repeated behind Ling, and Ayla put on the court mage robes to strengthen the affinity of the elements, and sang the curse song of the Queen of Dread.

This abnormal blizzard was undoubtedly created by the monster using some kind of ability, and Ella immediately began to compete with it for control of the elements.

This magic Ella had only used it once before, so she was not very proficient.But despite this, the curtain-like snowstorm still showed signs of gradually subsiding.

This exposed the figure of the monster hidden behind the curtain. The finished feathers were inserted into its chest in a zigzag pattern, but it was squirmed and swallowed by the rotten flesh like mud.It doesn't have the extremely powerful recovery ability like the dirty blood, but the monster's body is more like some kind of undead creature that relies on magic power to move, and this level of trauma has no effect on it from the very beginning.

A premonition of danger flashed through Ella's consciousness, and her long-silent inspiration became active again, and the ease and joy she felt when she first arrived in this world became clear.

She didn't stop the curse song, but jumped into the air with the floating spell.Aila looked down at her feet, and her original location was entangled by black thorns and tree roots. Following the monster's footsteps, the forest seemed to wake up with life.

Large areas of black tree roots pierce the soil and wriggle like giant snakes. They are stiff and flexible, and the sharp wooden thorns of the roots can completely pierce a human body, or strangle it with brute force!

She looked down at the ground expressionlessly, a pale fire burning deep in her pupils, and the pale fire ignited the forest in the snowstorm.

Chapter 24 The Wendigo Heart

Ling was engaged in high-speed attack and defense with the monster in the vicinity. The zombie-like characteristics of the opponent gave her a big headache. Whether she hit its head with a dagger or a feather sword, it seemed that neither the neck nor the chest could cause substantial damage to the monster. .

And those seemingly soft hairs are actually harder than tough plant roots.The wind and snow are shrinking in the direction of the monster, and it is difficult for the flames to spread into this extremely cold curtain. The two completely opposite forces of cold and heat are confronting each other.The environment and weather here are obviously favorable to the monsters. Before Ella melts the snow in the entire forest, they will continuously replenish the wind and snow barrier.

Ling stepped aside from a heavy hammer blow, her wings spread to the extreme, and the sharp edge swung half a circle on the monster's left leg at high speed!

Its knees were cut open to expose the pale bones, but it did not lose its balance. Twisted black tree roots came out of the ground and wrapped around its left leg to support the monster's huge weight.Those abnormal roots deeply tighten the wound, filling in the bone and replacing it with brand new tissue parts.

Ling felt a weak vibration under her feet, she quickly pulled back with a heartbeat, changed positions several times with sufficient agility, and then used her strength to rise into the air.After only half a beat, hard and sharp twisted rhizomes grew under those original footholds.

They twisted and grew frantically, quickly rising into the air and forcing her area of ​​activity. In an instant, their height surpassed the original trees, and gradually connected into a black net.

Ling's point of view was at the top of a root, and her pupils turned dark gray for an instant, and she spit out a powerful word:

"negative."

The roots stopped growing wildly, transformed into ordinary trees, and then collapsed and fell under the waving of the wings and blades.

"If I keep beating like this, my wings will become bald..."

She muttered quietly, then swooped down to fight the monster again.

----

Ayla watched the battle as she tried to peel back the veil of snow, her methods straightforward, continuing to burn the roots and snow of the forest with flames as she fought for control of the snow and ice.

In just a few minutes, the black trees within hundreds of meters were reduced to ashes, and the snow evaporated into white mist.

But despite this, the monster can still use its roots within a certain range. The ground under its feet is frozen soil that has been covered by cold for a long time. Even if she burns everything on the forest surface, it will be difficult for her power to penetrate into the ground in a short time.

"Cannibalism, transformation, antlers... Manipulation of blizzards and plants... I seem to have seen such things somewhere."

Not a dangerous creature that was actually observed and recorded, but a folklore.

She recalled some vague stories. When Ella was still living in Henry’s old house, she saw black and white illustrations from sensational ghost stories in newspapers or a certain foreign fairy tale—now that I think about it, it should not be the style of Henry’s collection of books. Why is there such a strange thing in the old house?

"The cannibal demon—the Wendigo?"

After spitting out the name, Ella immediately had a movement and a coping strategy. She took out a leather bag and threw some kind of strange red powder over the ruins of the collapsed house.

At the same time, she began to sing an obscure ancient language with strange rhythms.

If Ling was listening, she would find that she understood every word in it, but she could not understand what they meant when connected together.It was the ancient language belonging to her hometown, and it was the third talisman that Ella mastered in the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture".

Immortal Sand Returning Soul, its effect is similar to some kind of false resurrection of the dead. Under the effect of cinnabar and mantra song, corpses and souls that have not dissipated will gain false vitality in a short period of time.

The collapsed hut began to shake, and the dried and pickled corpses began to move again. They dragged only half of the body and the dissected abdomen, and swarmed up full of resentment.

Hundreds of full-featured human faces squirmed out from under Wendigo's skin. They were the souls imprisoned in the monster's body, struggling to break through the skin and stomach to regain freedom.

At this moment, Ayla stopped the curse song and looked at the antler monster struggling violently.

"For cannibals, this is the most appropriate end."

Using Howard's Unholy Seal may have a similar effect, but this magic allows her to awaken more of the power of the deceased, so there is no need to enter a state of suspended animation to add unnecessary burden to the body.

Meanwhile, Ayla spreads her fingers and casts another spell.

Wendigo's thick limbs were fixed by the silver-white chains that appeared out of thin air, and in the huge ripples that appeared above, a golden coffin slowly outlined its outline.It is beautifully carved with bones, angels and rosettes.

Necromancy and holiness, two diametrically opposed and even conflicting forces are harmoniously presented in the same magic.

This is one of the few dark arts she mastered in the ancient book provided by Fred: The Coffin of the Saint

Ayla put her hands together and put them flat, as if she was struggling to move something to the sides.Following her movements, the golden coffin opened a gap that was as wide as possible with muffled noises.

The water of the River Styx, burning with dim flames, flowed down the cracks in the coffin, and the tiny stream washed over Wendigo's huge body, while the latter's body, which could hardly feel the pain, suddenly curled up!

The dim flames were not affected by the wind and snow, they clung to the fur and flesh and burned.In fact, the Wendigo's flesh was not burned. This strange flame directly acted on the soul. The monster's face switched back and forth between Shadelin and the Wendigo with antlers.

The woman's wailing and the monster's roar merged into one, and Ella gradually saw her gradually stripped soul body, which was a deformed soul with slender limbs and neck but a fat abdomen. Countless distorted faces were crying in Shadlin's abdominal cavity cursed.

"very hungry……"

"I'm freezing to death..."

"It's so painful..."

"...Just let me eat you!"

……

The carrion peeled off with the separation of the soul, exposing a translucent cold heart made of ice under Wendigo's left chest.Its surface is covered with twisted black thorns, and it is somewhat blackened by blood.

With the beating of this heart, the plants on the ground began to twist frantically! Ling's figure flashed past, and the rabbit easily picked off the monster's heart.

After the heart was detached, the Wendigo, or "Shadrin" stopped all struggles.The monster's face showed a faintly human emotion, and then it was covered with ice and snow, frozen forever.

Ling took a look at the frozen heart and wrapped it in cloth, it should be something useful.

Chapter 25 Dried Mushroom Soup

After purifying most of the remains.Ayla temporarily restores the ruins to their original appearance, trying to get Ling to find something useful in Shadrin's hut, while she has another job.

The massive wreckage of the Wendigo was left in place, with a level of curse remaining on the body that made it unwieldy to deal with.On the other hand, unknown dangerous creatures are rare materials for magic research. As a qualified wizard, Ella has no reason to give up dissecting Wendigo.

She hardly caused any psychological burden. No matter what Xia Delin's past was, it was just a sick ogre now.In fact, most advanced dangerous creatures have intelligence not weaker than humans, but it is precisely because of this that they are more dangerous than ordinary ones.Any executor has a certain awareness of this.

Ling enters the room to search, while Ayla begins to take a closer look at the Wendigo's body.In her opinion, the Wendigo's bone structure is still basically the same as that of a human being, although it has undergone tremendous changes.

Those bones were not as tight as she had imagined, and they retained cracks from rapid growth and some strange substances that did not exist in the first place.The girl put on gloves and picked up a broken rib. From her point of view, it was more like some strange fungus growing from the depths of human bones. A large number of dense hyphae covered the original rib and solidified into a more Hard, forming specious and unidentified substances.

To Ella's surprise, she was unable to find any organs other than the heart and stomach pouch from Wendigo's abdominal cavity for a while.

Distorted plant rhizomes were all over its body, and Ella finally found some shriveled pieces of shriveled flesh the size of fingernails attached to the roots. The organs that were supposed to function had been squeezed by the roots Dried of nourishment, only a disgusting shriveled residue remains.

"How did this thing move?"

A question arose in Ella's heart. Unlike what she thought, Wendigo didn't look like a normal magical creature.It acts more like a magic-powered golem or undead.

The horn growing from the monster's head wasn't horn or deformed bone, it was burrowed deep into the Wendigo's skull, wrapping around its whitish and abnormally shrunken brain.

"parasitic......?"

Ella frowned and put the silver knife on the ground, turned around and took out several clean glass tubes to collect the brainstem, plant roots, bone fragments and some hair in Wendigo.The frozen heart was also stuffed into her suitcase by Ling. Apart from feeling the huge pollution magic power, Ella didn't think of any use for this thing for the time being.

At that time, Ling half-jokingly said:

"Maybe the dirty blood of Enoch is hostile to the Wendigo? If that's the case, this heart can be our diplomatic tool."

"Yes."

Ella nodded first, then answered in a similar tone.

"It's also possible that the Wendigo is simply a pet raised by the filthy blood. After the heart was exposed, they directly ordered us to be killed. I remember that Xia Delin called them nobles before."

In any case, at least until Ella and the others can determine the position of Enoch City, this heart is not something that can be shown casually.

During the collection process, Ella suddenly heard other discordant sounds from the whistling wind and snow.She had thought that the blizzard was an abnormal weather summoned by Wendigo, but it didn't weaken much with Xia Delin's death.

Ella seemed to have thought of something, her face suddenly changed, and she immediately turned and went back to the hut.

Forest of Silence... This place name doesn't seem to be something that Xia Delin made up casually. It may indeed have other problems.Only then did the girl realize that there might be more than one Wendigo in this forest!

In order to prevent them from being hunted by others, Shadelin found a way to lure the two of them into his hut or territory.No Wendigo wanted to expose itself to the sight of its own kind, and Ella felt that such dangerous creatures would probably not mind cannibalism.

Ling sat on the wooden chair a little decadently and filled a few pieces of firewood into the fireplace.
