Chapter 1464 The Snake and the Bear

"Is there any church team nearby?"

Luvia asked.

"No, but 10 minutes ago, we observed that the [Snake Heart Society] ring warlock who assisted the Orthodox Church passed nearby. In addition, according to the previous communication with the Orthodox Church, there should be a high ring warlock from the Zalas Academy of Literature The professor is nearby."

[Snake Heart Society] is a group of ring warlocks who are active in the border area between Carson Rico and De La Rion, which is the central area of ​​the old continent.Its scale is roughly the same as that of the [Spiritual Church], and it has a good relationship with the "Peace Church" in the Orthodox Church.

This ring magician group pursues secrecy, and apart from its name, little other information is known to outsiders. Even Luvia is only in the Prophet Association, and has heard that the power of this group of people is related to mirrors and dragons.

"Miss Swift, you and a lady from the seventh ring took a dose of [mud potion] to observe the situation. If the church's rescue is not in time, you will help."

Luvia quickly made up her mind, and although [Mud Potion] has a near-one-hit killing effect on earth elemental creatures, it is a pity that the configuration of this potion has limitations in raw materials and techniques, so in Before the big event started, the big witches didn't prepare too much.

"and also."

Miss Swift turned to leave, and Luvia stopped the girl who came from the top of the building to deliver the news:

"Follow the news from Miss Sylvia at any time, and then communicate with the church. I want to know where the Red Moon Witch of St. Byrence is now."

(Mia is running.)

The fire was raging, and the farther away from the river bank, the closer to Oxenfurt Manor, the more bizarre the scene in the burning woods became.The craggy rocks and the flames that create various illusions do not exist in the normal world.The grieving souls howling in the fire and begging Shad to save them made it look like hell in a fairy tale.

Shad didn't know what was happening in the city at the moment, he didn't know what the girls who were thinking about him were thinking, and he didn't know whether the escaped Stone Oxenfurt had been killed by Joey Barton and Ms. Marilyn Handel. catch.

He is still running forward in the maze. In addition to the monsters that drop gems and the phantom that attacks Shad's heart, the stone mirror demon Goethe is still on the way forward, setting up more obstacles, trying to delay Shad's progress. .

For example, Xia De saw a cave full of gold and silver treasures on the way, and saw a golden egg placed on the top of a big tree, guarded by countless flame birds, that made the soul long for it.He even saw a stone bookshelf erected on the fork road that deviates from the highlighted prompt and [Source of Chaos] from a distance. If Xia De guessed correctly, there must be the knowledge he needs on the bookshelf, but he still did not bother.

Sometimes people just encounter the most alluring temptation at the most inappropriate time, and Xia De knows what he should give up.

According to the rules, the devil can't directly hurt Xia De, but the demon's domain can completely suppress Xia De's wound healing speed, as well as the recovery speed of spirit and physical strength.He carried the big-tailed squirrel that was involved innocently, and even though he was gradually panting, he still didn't stop to rest.

Finally, at No.30 two minutes after the start of the game, Shade finally vaguely saw the distant view of Oxenfurt Manor amidst the raging fire.

And 10 minutes later, when Xia De finally rushed out of the fire forest and staggered along the uphill road into the gate of Oxenfurt's manor, he felt exhausted for a long time.

In the past, even if there was too much wear and tear in battle, it was just a lack of spirit.The last time something like this couldn't be supported by physical strength happened, the outsider was still a ring.

The burning forest was bright enough, but the courtyard of Oxenfurt Manor, which was separated by a wall, was as dark as a dark dungeon.In the normal world, the firelight of the forest is enough to illuminate most of the courtyard, but now the light cannot penetrate the demon's lair.

The world is still gray, only dots of green light of unknown origin appear on the ground like moss.There was no flame, and the sudden drop in the surrounding temperature made Xia De, who had burn marks and sweat running down his forehead, couldn't help shivering, and then felt that his body seemed to be even weaker.

After leaving the huge burning labyrinth, [Source of Chaos] could no longer guide Shad, but the highlights of "Vision" and "Echo of Blood" could be seen under the enhancement of Augustus Priest's eye drops. There are no traces, but they are still helping Xia De move forward.

However, after passing through the gate of the manor, Xia De, who was leaning on his sword to rest, actually saw in front of him that those highlighted traces were divided into five, and five diverging traces appeared in the yard.

"You finally came."

The devil's voice sounded in the sky as expected, and that slick voice was never annoying to Xia De:
"After walking out of the maze, you have come to the final puzzle. So, which one is me in front of you now?"

Then there was continuous laughter, and the laughter continued without any interruption.

Shad could only continue to search in the courtyard of Oxenfurt Manor along the branching traces amidst his disturbing laughter.

At the end of those traces, Xia De found a tiger sleeping on its stomach like Mia in the flower garden, a lion digging a hole under the damaged wall on the east side of the courtyard, and a lion standing on the eaves that almost blended with the eaves. A gray squirrel as a whole, a brown bear huddled in the shadow of a wall, and a big black snake perched on the headless soldier statue in the northwest.

All five animals were imprisoned by the "Light of Imprisonment" halo, and then gathered together by Shad.Because [Light of Confinement] is harmless, this is not a violation of the rules by Shad.

Xia De first took out the "Night Watchman" and aimed at each animal, but he did not expect that there were signs of corrosion on all the animals.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple. Choose one out of five?"

There are only ten minutes left in the one-hour countdown, and there is not much time for Xia De to waste.He looked at all the animals in turn, and then "she" whispered in Shad's ear:

【That tiger is not a demon. 】

"why?"

[You can try to touch it. 】

Xia De then stretched out his hand, and after touching the tiger's forehead, the tiger timidly rubbed against Xia De.

Xia De suddenly understood:

"It's you! The tiger that lives with the soul of Mr. Benjamin Erfurt, a folklorist?"

Xia De's eyes widened in surprise, and the tiger rubbed against Xia De again in a very human way.Of course, this high probability is also because, the last time I met Xia De, it was beaten by Xia De in the snow and used to explain the dangers of big tigers to cats.

"You haven't starved to death yet? But it's really unlucky to be caught by the devil."

Although demons can copy creatures, there is still a difference between the copy and the main body, and this tiger has a unique soul imprint because of its special experience.So the suspicion of the tiger was ruled out, and Xia De continued to look at the remaining four animals.

At this moment, the big-tailed squirrel in his breast pocket suddenly squirmed, and then got out of Xia De's pocket.After jumping to the ground, it squeaked around the found squirrel.

"What do you mean?"

So Xia De took out the [Fish Training Ring] and put it on the squirrel's big tail.This ring cannot be used by animals that eat fish. Fortunately, squirrels do not catch fish.

"You know this squirrel?"

Xia De asked the squirrel he rescued from the fire, and the latter immediately uttered the voice of a young man:
"Yes, this is my wife! We fell in love with each other because of an acorn, we made a private decision in the hole of a big pine tree, and conceived the next generation in a romantic autumn evening."

This squirrel is actually very polite.

"Let her go, even if you are my benefactor, if you want to bind my wife and do bad things to her, I will send you a duel."

The talking animals Xia De encountered in the past were often full of slang and swear words. Unexpectedly, this wild gray-haired squirrel is very civilized:
"Are you sure this is really your wife?"

Xia De was worried that the squirrel had misidentified the mouse:

"Is it possible that she was changed by something else?"

"Absolutely impossible, you are not a squirrel, you will not understand our fate-like bond. Will you admit your wife?"

The squirrel actually asked Xia De back, and then said:

"Let me prove it to you, this is definitely my wife."

Saying that, it actually went around behind the squirrel imprisoned by Xia De, and then directly lay on it, and then...
Xia De took back what he said just now, this big-tailed squirrel is very civilized.

"Okay, I know it's your wife."

Xia De said quickly, and after taking back the [Fish Training Ring], he also let go of the female squirrel, letting her communicate with the big-tailed male squirrel rescued by Xia De.

"There are three more."

Xia De looked at the remaining lions, snakes and brown bears, and then ruled out the suspicion of lions:
"The hint given to me by the housekeeper among the two lower-level demons is: I like 'not' lions."

Before meeting the five animals, Xia De was still puzzled by this prompt, but now the meaning of this prompt is too obvious.Therefore, although the housekeeper and maid are both low-level demons, in a way, when Oxenfurt summoned them, his wish of "dealing with demons' demons" actually came true.

"All that's left is the snake and the brown bear."

The size of the brown bear is the largest among all animals, and Xia De used a total of five halos to imprison it.And that snake was almost as thick as Xia De's waist, because it had no hands and feet, so Xia De also used five halos to cover its body.

"I remember that among the three cards that Luvia divination for me, the first one is a poisonous snake."

Xia De looked at the snake that was still spitting out:

"But is it really that simple?"
