Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 40 River
After finding the river, the two were a little excited.Because once the river is found, it is very likely to find the relevant settlements along the river. If there are really aboriginal people in this weird place, it may save a lot of detours to find them.

This kind of excitement made the two temporarily forget the previous embarrassment, and hurried towards the direction of the sound of water.However, after only a few steps, Altaïr suddenly stopped and grabbed Venata.

"What are you doing?"

Venata had a weird expression on her face, she shook off Altaïr's hand unnaturally.

However, Altaïr didn't mean to argue with her, he just pointed to the trees beside him with a serious expression.

"Pay attention to the color of the trunk."

Venata focused her attention in the direction of Altaïr's finger.Although they all have close to 360° vision in a spiritual state, if they are not focused in a certain direction, they will not see as clearly as the naked eye.

The trunk of the sword-shaped giant tree is not the same ash color as the giant tree the two have seen before. If you observe carefully, you will find that there is a little black and blue in the bark, and there is a strange spirituality surging in the tree. .

"Is it because the roots are absorbing different amounts of water?"

Venata reacted immediately.As a hunter, her level of understanding of similar knowledge is no worse than that of Altaïr, even better, it's just that she was not in a good state just now... but it's normal to think about it.

"Not only that, the fallen leaves here have also become thicker..." Altaïr said thoughtfully, "There may be a problem with the river ahead."

"Be careful and approach." Venata threw the rose heart necklace to Altaïr, "Your sequence is relatively low, it's safer to take this."

Altaïr did not refuse, the two of them got ready and walked cautiously towards the river.

Along the way, the symptoms of the trees became more and more serious. From the beginning, there was only a little white in the bark, and then the whole tree turned blue and black little by little from the inside to the outside, and finally only the dead black trunk remained.Occasionally along the way, various bones and corpses of different parts can be seen, belonging to various creatures, and there are traces of rust left by the evening fog in the bones.They lay there quietly, as if existence itself had been weathered by death.With one thrust of Altaïr's short sword, they collapsed, white ash falling like shards of snow.

Altaïr and Venata continued to walk forward, step by step.The illusory sound of water in the ear was getting louder and louder, but nothing appeared, and the two of them never saw the river.

"I say, Altaïr."

Venata suddenly spoke again behind Altaïr.Her voice was a little rough, like a gear that had stopped for a long time.

"How far is that river from us?"

"I'll do another divination..." Altaïr said, taking off the pendulum in his hand, ready to divination the direction again.

However, at this moment, Altaïr suddenly noticed that the bronze ring on his finger had somehow covered a layer of off-white, thin frost-like substance.Altaïr reached out his hand to touch it, and the mystical item that cost him close to 2000 pounds and was equivalent to a quasi-sequence 6, "Otilus' Paradox Ring", shattered silently like burning incense ashes.

"run!"

Altaïr yelled, quickly threw off the heavy revolver on his body, and strode like a vigorous cheetah towards the direction opposite to the sound of water.Venata immediately followed.Behind the two, the sound of water was getting louder and louder, chasing after them like a gangrene.Thanks to spiritual vision, the two can see what is behind them even without looking back.

A thin gray-white mist surged from the darkness at the end of the two people's vision, combined with the illusory river water, and expanded into gray-white light water that was closer to the mist.In the middle of the light water is a dull darkness, and a pure black tributary flows in the middle of the river, completely incompatible with the surrounding river water, as if the emperor's imperial army drove the slave army to hunt down their prey.

Scenes of images formed by the feedback of spiritual light continuously appeared in the minds of the two of them, and then were swallowed by the gray tide, and even this impression was also involved in the unstoppable gray tide.The parcel dropped by Altaïr was "dead" the moment it was swept by the gray tide, and all the mechanical structures lost their original functions, turning into the same white loose tissue as those skeletons.The trees behind them were protected by the power of twilight. Although they were not smashed immediately, the twilight light on the surface dimmed again.

This river flowing with "death" is actually alive!
We are actually very close to the bank of that river, but the spirituality we used to explore died the moment it came into contact with the river water, and failed to give us feedback, which made us think that we had never reached the shore ...Altaïr ran quickly again and again, while quickly judging the situation in his mind.At this time, the two were less than 20 meters away from the water flow, and a tributary on both sides was already chasing after them. They were almost neck and neck, and they wanted to directly surround them, even though they had enhanced Sequence 5. Foot strength, the distance from the tide is still slowly but firmly shortening.

"Damn!"

Venata let out a loud cry of venting, quickly caught up with Altaïr, picked him up by the waist amidst the exclamation of the other party, and slammed it on her shoulder.

"I'm...!!!"

Before Altaïr’s exclamation came to the ground, golden-red flames sprang up from Venata’s body, enveloping Altaïr and Venata like a torrent of flames, and then turned into one The blazing fire rushed forward violently, the gray-white river water and the breath of death flew back behind them, the tributaries of the two gray-white rivers crashed into each other behind the two, and the splashed water almost hit Altaïr's body Fortunately, he turned his head to avoid it in time, and a hole with gray edges appeared on the clothes instantly.

After rushing out about six to seventy meters, Venata exerted force from her waist, throwing Altaïr forward.Altaïr quickly cooperated with the landing and received the body, and immediately got up and ran forward after rolling for two weeks to relieve the force, without any loss of speed.

"Please say hello to me next time!"

Altaïr yelled at Venata as he ran.

"Save this to the river behind you! It won't take a few times for the flames to run, and if we can't get rid of the river, we both have to confess here today!"

Venata replied without showing any weakness.

At this moment, there was a loud roar from the sky, and a huge griffin swooped down with a flexibility that was completely inconsistent with its huge body. An arc was drawn on the ground, and the front claws of two eagles grabbed the back collars of Altaïr and Venata's clothes, and pulled them up into the air, before the river water engulfed them at their original positions. Before pulling the two into the air.

Altaïr looked down at the raging gray flood below his feet with lingering fear, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.At this moment, a straight-sounding male voice came from the back of the Griffon, speaking in a giant language that Altaïr could not understand.

"What is he saying?"

Altaïr asked Venata, a college student beside him.Although he has also supplemented his knowledge of mysticism, the giant language is obviously still outside the scope of his knowledge.

"He said that we are the most fearless guys he has ever seen, and dared to approach the 'River of Light'..." Venata translated, "He also wanted us to go back to their residence with him. Fighting against a terrifying existence they call the Eternal Night Demon Wolf requires people like us to join in..."

Venata answered the other party's question in the giant language, and the other party seemed very happy, and a bold laugh came from the back of the griffin.

"I agreed to his request just now, and he is very happy."

Venata then translated.

"He said we could call him Badher."
