Tens of meters away, there was a huge monster with three heads and a translucent body.Their bodies gradually turn black, exposing their gray fur and dry, rotten flesh.
The long horns that curve upward are entwined with each other, like trees that are slowly moving away from the soil, or like a tall god of death wearing a tattered robe.
Fetili murmured to herself, which was almost a reenactment of the horror stories she had heard in her childhood.
"The Wendigos...are here."
Chapter 28 The Cursed Ecological Chain
Before the envoys arrived, the strange smell near the hut was buried by heavy snow.The violent flames and snowstorms of that night have long since calmed down.
Out of fear of Ms. Xia Delin and the unknown outcome of that battle, other creatures in this forest bell avoided this area intentionally or unintentionally.Although those malicious gazes were always lingering in the nearby low bushes and thorns or low hills and snow pits, no one would be willing to take the lead in breaking this very delicate balance.
so the first day,
It was like this the next day,
The same goes for the third day.
......
But as time continues to stretch, the long-lost Shadelin is no longer enough to deter other hunters in the forest.
She might have died, or she might have been seriously injured, but in either case the outcome was the same.
A team of outsiders with enough numbers of warlocks appeared in its original hunting area, which was equivalent to thirty moving pieces of fresh, juicy and delicious meat.These are enough to drive all human-eating monsters crazy.
So deep in the cold snow, in the whisper of the wind, and in the shadows of the intricate shrubs, darkness began to stir.
When the dusty snow was cleared away and the huge carcass of the Wendigo was once again exposed to the strong wind, this desire could no longer be controlled.
-
The wizards formed a semicircle in front of the wooden house and tightly protected the wounded and waiters who could not fight in the wooden house.
At a distance of 50 meters, the monsters stopped and began to raise their faces with only a few human outlines left, and let out eerie cries that seemed to be crying and laughing. More roars of beasts came and went in the forest.
As in the legend, Wendigo has the ability to use wild beasts to a certain extent, which is why Ella and the others have not met any animals in the forest before.
Manipulate the wind and snow, use beasts, hide your body, have a strong body and a keen sense of hearing.This is enough to make Wendigo a nightmare in the Silent Forest, a demon that humans fear.But the enemies they faced were wizard groups formed mainly by pure-blood wizard families, mastering mysterious powers.
After only a moment of commotion, Lucien organized a counterattack.This is not a special environment on the sea, and the wizards can fully exert their due power.
A wall of fire hundreds of meters in diameter and up to five feet thick expanded from the center of the wooden house to all sides. The forest was ignited, and the snow melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The herd of beasts manipulated by the Wendigo were ignited into burning torches when they passed through the wall of fire, as if they had lost their lives and instinctively crashed through the wall of fire without fear, but they were often shot by the magic flames within ten meters. And the outside is roasted to ashes.
Fitili, who is better at close combat, is not good at dealing with this kind of environment. The fire wall with that range will also cause huge damage to her. Even with the recovery ability of dirty blood, she doesn't want to be burned to charcoal.
So Fetili just cooperated with Shiv's griffon to clean up some approaching beasts on the periphery of the semicircle.
A large, vigorous gray wolf fell down not far in front of Hyde, and its inertia dragged it until it slid to the latter's feet.
Hyde's face was a bit ugly, but he did not retreat. Beasts were instinctively afraid of flames, and simple driving could not make them go against their own nature.Even when he uses mental induction to control a target, it is difficult to get the target to do something that is strongly contrary to his own nature, let alone control hundreds of units at the same time.
Could it be that these damned monsters were above him in terms of sheer mental strength?
Hyde's pupils became extremely deep, as if there were two passages connecting to other worlds emerging from the depths of the young man's pupils.
Under the influence of mental power, his spiritual vision was no longer ethereal, it was as clear as a digitalized three-dimensional image.He saw overlapping shadows of the world and spatial lines that existed simultaneously but were separated from each other.
On the burned beast, there is a transparent human soul floating upward, which is attracted by three dark soul masses and returns to chaos again.
The Wendigo manipulates not real animals but beast corpses imbued with human souls. They are nothing more than puppets with simple movement abilities.Souls that die in the fire create more pain and resentment, which feed the curse.
Hyde finally fully understood the message Ella left, and the girl wrote some anatomy information and weaknesses of the Wendigo on the back of the map.
"The key point of Wendigo is the ice heart, but it is very hard and cannot be easily broken."
"They are not the complete lives you think, but the bodies of parasitic monsters."
"The soul of the Wendigo is not a single entity."
Hyde closed his eyes, and a palpitating breath made the air around him colder.In the intricate and overlapping space, the human souls separated from the remains of the beast saw the fourth black lighthouse.
It is equally dark, but there is no disgusting corruption and greed. What this soul lighthouse shows is only the lifeless tranquility and silence.Approaching it may mean complete destruction, but it is better than continuing to be manipulated by the Wendigo and suffering eternal damnation.
The great torrent of souls flowing to the three wendigos was stopped, and a small but steady stream connected to the fourth lighthouse.
The ground beneath Hyde's feet sank a little unnaturally, as if something heavy was pressing down on his back.He groaned, his knees slightly but still firmly standing upright on the ground.
An incomprehensible force shared part of Hyde's pressure, and the dissipated soul fragments were transformed into pure magic power and injected into the black violin case.Shadow's faint voice sounded from behind him, and her glass eyes could also see the cold essence.
"The soul is not something that can be played with casually. If you make a mistake and become an idiot, I don't care... I thought you were the most sensible of the three, but it turned out to be the craziest one."
Hyde seemed to be relaxed and smiled,
“There’s a thin line between madness and genius, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
"It's not good for us to drag it out like this. Ella said the Wendigo's weakness is their ice heart. Can you attack that kind of thing?"
Shadow showed a somewhat dangerous smile:
"If anyone can temporarily break through those damn wind and snow barriers, I'm half sure to kill all three of them at the same time!"
"very good."
Hyde nodded, and he transmitted the command to Schiff on the back of the griffin through a spiritual connection, and then opened the violin case on his waist.
The dagger, which was not made of metal but was closer to a plant, came to life. The souls of dozens of dead people replaced Hyde's magic power and injected it into this legendary alchemy tool. A layer of creeping dark shadow attached to Mitstin's curved sword edge. superior.
Hyde held the sword in one hand and made a slow turning movement. The torrent of souls in mid-air was shattered by the invisible force. The night was twisted into a huge millstone, grinding invisible or tangible things into powder!
Hyde gave the final instructions in his mind, and then he collapsed on his back in embarrassment, curling up in pain.
The dissipation of the torrent of souls finally made the Wendigo feel fear, and they began to intend to retreat. Even the aroused ice and snow curtain showed a flaw.
In the roar of Shiv, the huge body of the gryphon stood up. It waved its thick forelimbs, and its wings with a wingspan of more than ten meters rolled up two green wind belts in opposite directions, and the curtain was torn!
At this time, Shadow stretched her hands straight forward and held them with five fingers, making a simple grasping motion. She spit out an ancient word full of profanity in her mouth, and its meaning was——
"die."
The chests of the two Wendigos opened at the same time, and the fist-sized ice hearts wrapped in thorns were torn out!
Immediately afterwards, the ice and snow curtain began to close again, and a black crystal spear shot out before the curtain completely closed. After that, the wind and snow enveloped the forest again.
After the flames lost their mana supply, the wizards began to clean up the battlefield, and a wide range of protective barriers and quiet barriers were deployed around the hut.
"Didn't you fail to kill them all..."
Hyde mocked almost out of instinct. After becoming more relaxed, he found it difficult to restrain his true nature.
"I'm only guaranteeing a [-]% certainty, but it's not an absolute amount. What I said before was to tear off the curtain temporarily, but the time you left for me is less than three seconds."
Shadow spread his hands without feeling any guilt at all.
"I can be said to be a genius if I can use two powerful magics within three seconds."
In fact, Wendigo is stronger than Ella imagined. Xia Delin, who was suppressed by Ling all the way, had no chance to show more strength, because he became restrained everywhere when he encountered a surprise attack in a defenseless state.
As a dangerous creature, the Wendigo may be more terrifying than a griffin or a thick-blooded dragon.
Shiv was satisfied to find the bodies of two Wendigos from the snow. The third Wendigo left black blood stains on the ground, but it fled into the dark shadows of the forest.
After the anatomy, he came to a conclusion similar to Ella's. The Wendigo was indeed a monster transformed from a human being, and the thorns and antlers were some kind of parasite that grew from the body.But beyond that, Sif cut open the Wendigo's stomach pouch and smelled the curse from the semi-dissolved remains.That's not because the monsters themselves were infected with it, but because they were originally cursed.
The crops born on this land themselves contain a certain amount of pollution. The small creatures that eat the plants, the beasts that feed on the former, and the hunters who kill the beasts gradually accept all the pollution accumulated by the former through eating.
The Wendigo is their end. The curse beyond limits has alienated the human body, growing in the body in the form of antlers and thorns.
This is Schiff's theory.
A commotion brought him back to consciousness, and something seemed to have happened in the hut.
Chapter 29 Misfortune
"What happened?"
Shiv returned to the hut, but was stunned by the sight before him.In the room that was supposed to be very safe, more than five people died in just a few moments.
Several seriously injured wizards in the room underwent drastic changes.
Black veins like thorns were surging under their skin. The injuries that originally made people unable to move freely were filled and sutured with black thin threads. The wounded who lost their minds and looked like wild beasts attacked their former friends and the maid who took care of them. .
Those people were bound as traitors, and the magical chains bound the limbs of the wizards, but they still struggled and roared like beasts.
"How is this going?"
Lucien's face became very ugly. This situation was completely beyond his expectation.The allied wizards should have tightly protected the hut, killing two Wendigos and severely injuring the last one, and achieved an almost complete victory.
But this victory was overshadowed by such an unexpected incident.
"Step aside!"
Schiff pushed his elder brother away, and used his fingers to open the eyes of a wizard who was struggling frantically. In the cloudy reflection in the opponent's eyes, what Schiff saw was not his own face but a pile of ferocious entangled antlers.
"It's not an ordinary accumulating curse...his soul is tainted by something, it's more like a spell that brings damage...but I don't remember any chance that those monsters had a chance to cast a spell on them .”
"Through dreams, Mr. Schiff."
Hyde was leaning on a wooden stick to support his body. His closed eyes were unable to see due to the negative effects of the alchemy tools.
"I realized that this kind of monster has the ability to affect the soul through dreams, but unfortunately it was a little too late... probably the escaped Wendigo did it."
"It is composed of multiple souls, a dangerous creature with huge consciousness, and those wizards who are in a normal state are fine...but after the mental power is damaged and weakened, it is easy to be affected in a coma."
The corners of Hyde's mouth twitched twice, and the blood vessels on the side of his face showed an unhealthy blue-black color, which looked very eye-catching under the pale skin.
"Even you?"
The shadow's glass eyeballs stopped moving at this moment, and an expression of disbelief appeared on the doll's face.
"Yes, the magic just now damaged my soul. Although I was only unconscious for less than a minute, I was still thrown out."
"Master Hyde...you, you are!"
