Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 49: The crow hag


   After a short rest, without staying too much in the dangerous swamp, Ivan chose to return directly.

  "Occasionally, it’s okay to come out and capture the potion materials as a remedy. If you run around all day for a variety of rare drugs that grow in the north and the south, the time and energy spent will be too much for you.

   Maybe the kind of path that grabs wealth from the sea and then transforms the wealth into various spiritual resources is more suitable for me. "

   Although he had just completed a successful hunt without injury, Ivan is already thinking about staying away from this routine in the future.

   The ancients said that practice requires "wealth, companionship, law, and land", but for Aiwen, as a wizard apprentice, apart from "financial", all other elements of practice at this stage are untraceable.

   Irvine is not eager.

  As a promising naval officer, his future is destined to be in the vast sea, where wealth, secret treasures and power will be obtained.

   This is also the charm that the sea has allowed generations to continue to explore.

   "There will be milk, and there will be bread."

  嗖——

   Lightly leveraging on the fallen dead wood, Ivan, like a vigorous cheetah, quickly traversed between the land islands not far apart. It may take a day's journey for ordinary people, and it may only take an hour for Aiwen.

   And when I go back, it is much faster than when I come.

  The road that I have walked once, for Aiwen, has no more secrets. Where can I stay? Where might the danger be hidden? It's clear at a glance.

   But today Ivan’s luck is obviously not very good, the weather is changing faster than his return journey.

   Just when he left the continuous land island and stepped on solid ground, a cloud of inexplicable fog swept across the entire swamp in a short time, and the sky suddenly became dark.

   Although he can't reach the point where he can't see his fingers, it also greatly affects his vision.

   After all, "Digital Vision" is based on Aiwen's senses, but it can't strengthen his vision. In this kind of weather, he doesn't dare to drive unscrupulously.

   To be cautious, Ivan paused, cut some greasy branches, made a torch, and then slowed down and moved on.

   Hunting crocodile has delayed Ivan a lot of time, and he doesn't want to spend the night in such a ghost place.

   The time in the "Digital View" shows that it is now 2:54 PM.

   He wants to get out of the swamp before five o'clock, otherwise it may be completely dark in less than five o'clock in this weather, bringing him more unpredictable dangers.

   is different from the ghost legends that exist only in fantasy or stories in the previous life. This world is a world where extraordinary powers manifest. Knights and wizards have already appeared, can those weird and terrifying things be far away?

   Aiwen did not want to see the horror and grotesque that must exist in this fantasy world!

  Unfortunately, the development of things does not depend on Aiwen's will.

   Time passed by every minute, and the traces left by him when he came were still clearly identifiable, but Ivan felt that the path under his feet had become significantly longer.

   is not the extension of the spatial scale in the true sense, but in Aiwen's feeling, at his normal pace, he should have left the woodland next to the swamp at this time.

   But by the light of the torch, the sight is still gloomy and invisible to the messy woods, there are no birds or insects, and the silence is gloomy.

   slowly stopped, Ivan had to admit that something happened that he couldn't understand temporarily.

   "Did ghosts hit the wall?"

   For a while with his boldness, he couldn't help feeling numb his scalp. Poisonous insects and beasts are nothing but unknown fears are the most terrifying.

   And I don’t know if it was an illusion. The moment Ivan stopped, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes suddenly opened on the tree canopy around him, staring at him unblinkingly.

   Aiwen's face is a little gloomy.

   This area is clearly marked on the map as a non-hazardous area. At least there should be no extraordinary creature activities that can threaten him, but now Ivan only wants to scold the profiteer who sold his map!

   But, that's all for the future.

   The immediate crisis has arrived!

   "Pump, pounce..."

   a large swarm of birds flew from the forest under the black pressure.

   Crow!

   Except for the crow, it is the crow!

  The size of the falcon is comparable to a trumpet. Hundreds and thousands of falcons flew up at the same time. Their wings were connected to cover the sky, and even the last faint light source was blocked.

  Night fell.

   The scene in front of him was too weird, completely beyond Aiwen's understanding, he involuntarily took two steps back, the torch in his hand seemed to have been affected by his fluctuating mood, and it flickered a few times.

   At the same time.

  嗖——

   A gust of cold and humid wind mixed with a strange fragrance passed through the treetops and gathered from all directions.

   "呱, 呱, 呱..."

   Aiwen turned his head back suddenly, but then stepped back two steps in an instant.

   I couldn't even control the power under my feet, and made several deep footprints in the mud.

  Because, on the tree close at hand behind Ivan, a "monster" is quietly squatting on the top of the tree.

   It has an abstract and deformed human face, its withered yellow skin is wrinkled, its nose protrudes like a bird's beak, and its grey, **** eyes flash with cruelty and indifference!

   almost alienated into claw hands and feet, covered with black feathers, but wearing a delicate wreath around its neck ~ IndoMTL.com ~ squatting on the tree, like a mutated adult crow spirit , Just looking at it can cause intense discomfort.

   "Quack...!"

  , a red-eyed crow standing on its shoulder, tilted its head very humanely and looked at Aiwen, quacking twice, making people feel chills.

   Crow hag! ! !

  Even though Ivan first entered the extraordinary world, he had heard of the great name of this creature.

   has a detailed description of the crow hag in Leon's notes, but Ivan is more concerned about what Leon himself experienced at the time, but there is no detailed record. Anyway, it will definitely not be a pleasant experience.

   is different from the demonized creatures that have formed a stable race and the ferocious creatures formed by the alienation of ordinary animals.

   Crow ghosts are not a kind of natural monsters, their predecessors are actually human witches!

   is different from the spiritual path that orthodox wizards gradually transformed from nothing. They are like demonized creatures. From birth, as they grow older, they are born to awaken certain supernatural powers.

   To some extent, they are all natural spellcasters favored by the gods.

   But.

   But... if there is no systematic guidance, learning, and perfect mastery of this talent, they will face a terrifying risk of losing control while growing rapidly.

   is like a skyscraper with a crooked foundation. The stronger the building, the higher the risk of losing control!

   Until a certain day.

   When their magic power is out of control or they die with resentment, if they are not dealt with and purified in time, they may change with their crow pets and become this ugly and terrifying monster-the crow hag.

   More importantly, their staple food is...people!
