Release that Witch Chapter 76: Holy Mountain (medium)
"Sisters, that's Holy Mountain! We found it!"
Cara screamed to release his joy. Many witchs stood still and were stunned by the wonders in front of them, and some of them reacted and wept with their surrounding companions.
Red pupil frowned, "Is that really Holy Mountain?"
"What's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Leaf stepped forward and asked in a low voice. She had the same doubt in her mind. The city in the sky did not look like the description in ancient book. It was glittering and magnificent. Although Spire is spectacular, the whole body is gray and black, and it is dim even in the daytime. Not to mention the red mist, which is pervasive over the city, is as strong as blood that cannot be turned away.
"Something ... crowded in those holes," Chitong's voice was a bit dry, "I don't see well, but those things don't look like gods ..."
Leaf felt that a layer of goose bumps was floating all over her body. The one that looked farthest in Cooperation Association was the red pupil. Her statement made Leaf a little uneasy. Unfortunately, Lightning has left with Nightingale, otherwise she can fly closer.
"Sisters! Holy Mountain is right in front of me," the instructor held up both hands and shouted, "Further work, we will find eternity immediately!"
After speaking, she immediately urged the stone woman to carry her forward. Leaf wanted to step forward to dissuade, but stepped back and closed it. She remembered the end of Wendy half a month ago. At this time, I'm afraid that any dissuasion is meaningless. If you don't go and see it for yourself, Master Mentor will not give up.
Pedestrians began to accelerate. After leaving the foot of the mountain, snow fell unexpectedly, and the surrounding temperature also picked up. This is the legendary forbidden area, and it is an area that humans cannot set foot in, Leaf thought, but they are now printing their footprints on this uninhabited land. If Lightning is in, she will be very happy, right?
Looking back, the towering mountains are rolling up and down behind, like a barrier that cannot be climbed. This makes Leaf can't help but wonder, is it because of Impassable Mountain Range that Evil Beast can't directly penetrate the hinterland of the mainland, so it is necessary to detour to the far north?
Anyway, if you can find Holy Mountain, you do n’t need to wander anymore, you will be satisfied ... She sighed softly, to be honest, when Nightingale talked about Border Town's in camp, she was emotional Understand. When Wendy asked who wanted to leave with Nightingale, she couldn't help but want to take a step forward and announce her name aloud. But until the end, she still couldn't cross the threshold in her heart and lost to the shadow left by her past.
Leaf shakes his head, so that he no longer thinks about these past things, keeps pace with the team, and walks in the yellow and white fields.
But weird things happen quickly. No matter how fast they speed up, the city always retreats as fast as they do. An hour later, "The Place of Holy Mountain" was still suspended in the clouds, neither growing nor shrinking, as if ... they hadn't moved at all.
"Master, please take a rest, the sisters are tired," said Shi Nu. During this period, several waves of people have been carrying a mentor. She is the one who has persisted for the longest time.
"No, how can you stop now!" Cara rejected her suggestion without thinking. "This is the test of gods for us. Sisters, without firm will, you will never reach Holy Mountain! You cannot stop, you must Continue until the door of Holy Mountain appears in front of us! "
Seeing that the persuasion was invalid, the group had to move on.
But situation has not changed. In the course of the journey, witches also encountered two waves of Evil Beast. In the second wave, two deformed mixed beasts appeared. The weed restraint of Leaf did not last for too long. The neck was cut open with sharp claws, and blood was scattered on the ground.
After finally solving these monsters, everyone found that the sky was gradually getting darker, apparently it was dusk. The city was still in front of them, but the outline became more blurred and seemed to disappear.
According to past experience, they must find a suitable camping place to build camp, but this is completely different from Impassable Mountain Range. Looking at it is almost flat, plus Evil Beast, which may appear at any time, they ca n’t be in this kind of Place to stay overnight.
"Master Tutor, let's withdraw to the foot of the mountain first! Let the red pupil lead the way and the red pepper light up, maybe we can hurry back before midnight."
"No!" Cara shouted, "It took us one afternoon to get here, and the road almost didn't stop. Now that everyone spends most of their energy, impossible will return at the same speed. Sisters, hold on , Only when we find Holy Mountain can we really rest in peace. "
"What about Shirley?" someone asked, pointing to the dead witch on the ground.
"We don't have time to bury her," the instructor shook her head, "leave her here, the earth will contain her."
Leaf closed her eyes sadly, and another sister left. If she was stronger, she wouldn't have to die in this desolate place, not even a tombstone could be left.
While everyone was deciding whether to move forward or back, Shi Nu suddenly exclaimed: "Look at heaven, the city is gone!"
Leaf opened his eyes, looked up, and saw that the sky had turned gray and black, the clouds were hiding in the night, and the city disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed before.
Everyone was standing still, and there was a terrible silence for four weeks.
Cities that can never be approached, illusions floating in the air, lost/disintegrated is invisible when the sun goes down ... Leaf suddenly remembered the adventure stories told by Lightning, those strange fantasy scenes seen on the sea. She took a nap, and whispered, "We were deceived ..." Soon, she shouted, "We were deceived, that is not Holy Mountain at all! What we see is a mirage!"
"Maritime mirage?" Cara turned back fiercely, his expression was a little scary, "What's that?"
"As mentioned in the story of Lightning, this phenomenon is often encountered during long voyages, but it is much rarer on land. What we see is just an illusion. The real city may be far away from us, or even , It may not be ahead at all! "
"At least that means it really exists? And it hasn't disappeared?"
"This ..." Leaf choked, "I don't know."
At that moment, Chitong suddenly warned, "Be careful! Something is coming!" She stared at the left side of the group of people, her face very ugly.
"It's Evil Beast again?" Windseeker made a confrontation gesture, "How many?"
"No ..." Akimi stepped back two steps, "I don't know what it is ..."
During speaking, a dark shadow shot from far to near and hit the pupil with a thunderbolt. Although she saw the attack of light and shadow, she couldn't dodge --. Unlike crossbow, it was too fast.
Almost in a blink of an eye, this dark shadow penetrated Chitong's chest, took her out, and even nailed it to the trunk behind her.
That turned out to be a spear.
