Whispering Poems

Chapter 1936 Stronghold
There were fewer and fewer monsters wandering around the hotel, and finally swept along with an invisible ripple from the basement to the entire building, and then swept towards the surrounding of the building against the forest floor that was blushing for some reason.The monsters who were attracted by the soul and flesh of the living finally stopped in a daze and continued to wander in the surrounding forest.

As long as there are not too many monsters around, the inn itself can once again use the powerful effect of concealing itself.And without a steady stream of reinforcements, the remaining monsters hiding in the forest near the hotel were quickly cleaned up.

Without Shade's "strong spatial perception" ability, once lost in the fog, even if he is only a dozen steps away from the hotel, he may never be able to come back.Therefore, only Xia De went deep into the fog alone to eliminate those monsters wandering in the shadows, and only he could see most clearly what those wandering around the island blankly.

Night, fog and rain obscured most of the details.The things lurking between the grass blades and tree trunks do not have exactly the same appearance, but they do have similar details and the strangeness and sense of dislocation produced by the same composition.

Most of the things that can change color according to the environment have the characteristics of several different animals.These animal features are arranged and combined in a way that does not conform to the characteristics of living organisms. Shade even saw countless mouse tails emerging from the slender duck neck.

In addition to animalistic features, fragmentation and the characteristic demonic smell of sulfur are also characteristic of these things.Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that these things are most likely creatures created by Laplace Klein Howard during hundreds of years of human body refining experiments that do not meet his requirements.Now abandoned on the island, it has become the best barrier.

Hundreds of slender mouse tails flocked to Xia De under the cover of the sound of rain, like the thin threads spewed out by spiders.Xia De raised his hand to hold a handful of rainwater, condensed the water into ice, and threw it forward. Amidst the sound of the explosion, he slashed out a ray of moonlight again.

Such a battle didn't last long. After confirming that the nearby monsters had basically disappeared, he retreated back to the hotel with the sorceresses.The girls rested separately, but Xia De did not continue to stay:
"Ladies who went out with me just now, please take a break first, and the others are in charge of guarding. I want to go and see alone how far this neighborhood is from the shore."

Just now when Xia De went into the fog alone to clean up those monsters, he vaguely heard the sound of water hitting the shore in the rain.This seems to mean that the location of the hotel is not far from the shore.And if they can successfully find the way to the shore, it will be very convenient to meet the arrival of the big witches.

As for the missing Megan, there is no need to worry too much at the moment.Since one of the thirteen keys that are closely related to "Edwardsden magic" is here with Shad, the ceremony must not have started yet.Of course, he couldn't deliberately delay until reinforcements arrived.

Since the fortune-teller can quietly take one of the two keys away, there must be a way to take this one away, and his action must be quick.

"I'll go with you. If the way is found, someone staying in the hotel will need to record it."

Tifa said, and said again behind her, and then another girl in a maid skirt handed over a lead box, which contained some colored powder with traces of whispering elements:
"A relic derivative that can mark the way in dense fog, but only for short distances."

The reasons she gave had no reason for Xia De to refute, and the others did not want Xia De to go deep into the fog alone.

"Well, follow me closely, as long as you get lost in this fog, you won't be able to come back in a short time."

He reached out and took Tifa's hand, and for some reason, the eyes of all the sorceresses present were focused on their hand.

"Shad, be careful on the road."

Lesia and Dorothy, who knew that their strength was insufficient, held hands at the door and watched the two of them go away. Agelina stood behind them holding the cat, with a silent look that no one could understand her mood.

Shad and Tifa held hands like this and left from the edge of the hotel that could be illuminated by the fire, and walked into the forest in the direction where Shad had faintly heard the sound of water just now.Xia De of the sixth ring has no ability to shelter from the rain, but Tifa of the eighth ring does.She really followed closely behind Xia De, and Xia De could hear her breathing without even turning his head.

"The last time we walked in a dangerous area like this was at the end of last summer, in the dark field."

The voice of the maid came to my ears, Xia De nodded slightly, his eyes were still looking forward, relying on vision, inspiration, and strong spatial perception, to find a way out and avoid enemies in the weird jungle on a rainy night:
"At that time, the dark realm engulfed the southern suburbs of Tobesk. I was anxious to find the fortune teller, and ventured deep into the darkness. Instead, I came to the lady's manor first."

Recalling the past, Xia De's depressed mood also improved a little.After that, Tifa didn't speak any more, as if she really just wanted to make Shad relax.

The atmosphere of this island is very different from that of the real Green Lake Central Island. On rainy nights, walking in the dark, even if you can avoid the rain, the slippery and sticky feeling in the air is still like a dead man sticking out his tongue. Lick the skin.

Xia De knew that this description was very strange, but he just had this feeling.The feeling of needing to bend down subconsciously and walk carefully in the rain with breath-holding, already shows how weird this place is.

Fortunately, Tifa was always behind him, and the unique and pleasant smell of the maid's perfume was one of the few things that could make Shad feel happy in this rainy night.

His hearing is very good, and the sound of water just now is not a hallucination.Soon, the sound of water became louder and louder.The two walked through the woodland and saw the forest path that was very similar to the real island, but even more gloomy.Continuing along the forest path, the beach and pier appear on the edge of the island.

The dilapidated trestle bridge was not the scariest scene in this dark and rainy night. Beyond the trestle bridge, the turbid green lake water lapped the shore one after another.There are no reefs at all on the normal surface of Green Lake, but around the islands, all kinds of strange black reefs, like indescribable strange existences in ancient myths, are densely scattered on the visible water surface.

The surface of the reef has an astonishingly fine number of holes, and as the wind blows in the rain, it makes a more disturbing sharp whistle.And looking further away, in the depths of the night, rain and clouds, there is only a terrifying and penetrating darkness like an abyss.

The lake continued to slap, and the sound of rain and whistle became clearer.When the wind blows over the skin, small particles appear on the skin with the change of mood.This scene with weird sounds and colors at the same time made even Xia De feel extremely terrified:

"Damn!"

He uttered a swear word in a rare and uncivilized manner, and immediately looked away.As for Tifa behind her, although the maid's arms trembled slightly, she still maintained the dignity of the head maid:

"Is this the shore?"

She closed her eyes and asked softly.

"Yes, it corresponds to the pier when I landed on the island many times. This is like the hell in the story, where the villain will come after death."

Xia De also said softly, holding the [Night Watchman] with one hand, and then using the "Moonlight Great Sword" to leave a glowing scratch on the ground.The sandy beach under my feet is red, and the weird color makes the scene on the shore even more bizarre.

As for leaving traces, it is hoped that it can guide the witch who does not know when she will come here.

The two didn't waste any time, and immediately returned the same way.They were still holding hands, and Tifa hadn't forgotten to throw those colored powders along the way.The spilled powder cannot be seen with the naked eye, but it can be seen with special lenses in the hands of the witches.

When they returned to the hotel in the forest clearing, the good news that it was not far from the shore also excited the girls in the hotel.Shad even relied on "strong spatial perception" to quickly draw a simple map including the hotel, forest paths and shore.

According to the map calculation, as long as there is no accident in the fog, the big witches who landed on the island can find it within 5 minutes.

"Okay, let's make plans. I'm going to go deep into the island alone. Tifa and Haili, I'll leave this place to you. Miss Decker, you know the power of space best here. Please confirm whether you can find this hotel , the passage between the hotel in Green Lake City. If what we encounter is really a space duplication, then there should be a passage connecting two identical spaces.”

The three sorceresses nodded together.

Shad said again to Dorothy and Rezia:
"I don't know what will happen in a moment, but please never, never leave the hotel. You promised me that you will obey my arrangements."

They also nodded slightly, Xia De touched Little Mia in Agelina's arms, rejected the umbrella brought by Tifa, picked up [Night Watchman] and prepared to leave.

But Tifa stopped Shad again, and took out a triangular metal charm from his pocket:
"Don't forget this."

This is the "Return Charm" made by Miss Sylvia. Because the materials are hard to find, it takes a lot of time and energy to make it, and the spell can only work at close range, so Shade remembers that there are not many finished products.

Witch Apprentices like Tifa and Hayley each have a charm in their hands, and Shad also has one on him.For Agelina's safety, Miss Galina even gave the little princess one spell, plus three spare spells left in the hotel, that is to say, there are a total of seven charms in the hotel at this moment.
