Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 304: Alienated Wife

Liszt really didn't remember what Samuel Love Morea had said.

He just felt very sad at the time. His wife died to save him, and he couldn't take them back, so he could only bury them on the spot.

Who could have thought that a corpse could transform and follow me?!
"madness."

Hewen Field cursed again and rode the bear to catch up with Li En who was in the front.

"Lister is such an idiot."

"I see."

Although the wind and snow were very strong, Li En still heard the conversation between the two.

"Then what should we do? Those alienated women might catch up with us soon."

“You may not encounter it, and even if you do, there is no need to worry.”

Li En looked at Sophie in his arms.

Sophie nodded slightly, indicating that she could handle it.

Hewen Field finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good, otherwise I would have been implicated by this idiot."

Lister now regrets bringing his wives to explore the rift. Although his wives are not ordinary people, they are only outside. After arriving at the rift, even he, a five-star Glory Knight, feels a little overwhelmed. It is difficult enough to survive the endless monsters and the extremely cold climate, not to mention having to take the initiative to look for the Gift Crystal.

After more than twenty hours of experience, Lister understood one thing: the gift crystal only appears in the body of a monster.

This so-called family competition is to let all the children of the Moria family come here to clean up the monsters.

Now he just wants to return to his own fiefdom in the North and live a peaceful life with his wife. He no longer wants any inheritance rights.

He lost 21 wives. In addition to the 16 who died, 5 of them ran away with stronger men, which made him feel that he had lost all face.

Just now, Hewen Field called him an idiot in front of everyone, which made him even more embarrassed.

I couldn't help but feel resentment and jealousy towards Hewen Field.

Rumbling--

Silent terror came overwhelmingly, and huge white waves swept up broken ice and rocks, roaring down like a wild beast.

This is the 22nd avalanche.

Liszt and his wives were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The horses under their crotch neighed and they instinctively ran away.

Two of his wives died in avalanches, and their bodies were never found.

This left a deep psychological shadow on Liszt.

But he found that the entire expedition team was still moving forward in an orderly manner, without paying any attention to the avalanche above their heads.

"Run away."

Liszt screamed and in panic pulled his horse to gallop away.

But the snow storm above our heads did not come down yet.

When he raised his head again, he found that a huge ice shield had appeared above his head, piling up all the snow on top.

The ice shield disappeared only after all members of the expedition team had safely passed this section of the road. Thick snow rolled down, but it could no longer hurt anyone.

Liszt's Adam's apple rolled and he swallowed.

"Haha, Lord Lister, you're really surprised by this. We have the strongest magician in our team."

Noah said with a smile, and the other adventurers also stifled laughter.

Liszt's face turned blue and red, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was even more jealous of Heven Field.

Hewen Field had by now returned the bear to Noah, and he returned to the warmth of the carriage.

"Sir, why did you agree to let Lister and the others stay?"

Lolita reached out and took Hewen Field's coat. Hewen Field sat back on his own throne and smiled and nodded at Nancy and Inna.

The wind and snow formed a layer of white ice crystals on his golden hair, which quickly melted into water droplets when they encountered the stove in the carriage.

Lolita immediately dried his hair with a towel and considerately served him a cup of hot tea.

"Although Liszt is a hateful person, his wives are somewhat innocent. Men in the Moria family are like this. They can't bear to see women suffer. Look, doesn't Li En also agree with my decision?"

Hewen Field shrugged and said.

"He might be jealous of you, resent you, and not grateful to you."

Nancy said calmly.

Lolita and Inna nodded, agreeing with Nancy.

"I never thought that even Hewen Field would be envied by Lister. Isn't that cool?"

Hewen Field smiled.

"My Lord, you are so kind."

Lolita sighed.

Hewen Field stroked his stubble.

"Do you think it's possible that Li En is willing to help me just because I'm kind?"

The three ladies were stunned at the same time, feeling that what Hewen Field said made sense.

After two hours of marching, the team finally found the next location indicated by the crystal compass.

The glowing beast seemed to sense danger and huddled into Sophie's arms.

"The crystal compass shows that there are many gift crystal fragments here."

Li En pointed to the ice in front and said, "This may be the habitat of some animal. The ice is just a cover."

"It's possible it's a Brokenfang Snow Lynx. They feed on luminous beasts and are their natural enemies. They live in groups at the junction of ice caves and cedar forests. Their nests are usually located in ice caves on cliffs, with the entrances covered with camouflaged ice."

The red-haired female knight next to Lister said that she possessed extremely high talent and was already a five-star knight. She chose to follow Lister because Lister had once lent a helping hand to save her family. However, due to the peculiarities of the knight's way, she had never had children with Lister. Although they were nominally husband and wife, in fact, she was more like Lister's bodyguard and an outlier among Lister's many wives.

Before entering the rift, she also consulted a lot of public information about rifts in the North and learned about the species there.

This is also one of the main reasons why Lister's team can survive until now.

She had reminded Lister many times that the body should not be left in the crack, and the best way was to cremate it on the spot.

But Lister, citing religious beliefs, believed that Tiger's followers should not be burned and that their bodies must be left intact. He only performed a mass ceremony of tying up the whole body and sprinkling holy water as a precaution.

There was nothing she could do about it.

"Do you know the Brokenfang Snow Lynx?"

Lee En asked.

The red-haired female knight nodded.
"I've looked up a lot of information, but I can't be 100% sure that this is the lair of the Brokenfang Snow Lynx."

"Brokenfang Snow Lynx typically live in families of 5-10 individuals each, led by a Frostfang Lord. The Lord's tail is embedded with a Frostfang Crystal, the core of the group's power."

"They are good at teamwork. The cubs are responsible for driving the prey to the ambush circle, and the adults take turns to consume the prey's physical strength."

"The front paws have methamphetamine glands. After the claws cut the prey's skin, they inject methamphetamine, causing the wound to freeze rapidly and spread throughout the body."

"A special organ in the throat, the Frost Breath Sac, can spit out low-temperature mist, temporarily obscuring vision and lowering the surrounding temperature."

"Their abdomens are hairless and their skin is fragile, so a heat attack can be fatal."

The red-haired female knight told Li En the information she knew.

She hoped that the adventure team could minimize casualties so as to ensure that they could successfully leave the rift in a month.

But Lister didn't think so. He didn't understand why she would share such important information so casually.

Especially shared with Li En Moriah, the illegitimate son.

"Linthia, come back."

Liszt shouted coldly. He was a little worried that Lindsay would betray him and run into Li En's arms.

This woman had never truly belonged to him.

The red-haired Lindsay hesitated for a second, but returned to Lister.

She originally wanted to tell Li En more information about the Broken Tooth Snow Lynx, such as its body length, appearance, and other weaknesses.

But she also noticed Liszt's gloomy expression and realized that perhaps she had said something wrong.

"Liszt, you are not as useful as your wife."

Noah said bluntly.

Liszt suppressed his anger and said slowly, "Linthia likes to read some miscellaneous books, but what she says may not be useful. I was afraid that she would interfere with the team leader, so I stopped her."

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know once we break the ice." Li En waved Enzo, and the long sword cut through the ice.

As the ice cracked, a natural ice cave appeared before everyone's eyes.

Lindsay's eyes lit up slightly, she was right.

Although this is the nest of the Broken-Tooth Snow Lynx, there is no Broken-Tooth Snow Lynx in the cave. Instead, a pair of scarlet eyes are lit in the ice above the dome.

"It's a parasitic snow spider!"

The adventurers were no strangers to this kind of spider. More than two hours ago, they had just burned the explorers who were parasitized by this insect.

"It seems this may have been the cave of the Brokenfang Snow Lynx, but it's been taken over by the Spider Queen, and it's full of her children."

Li En raised his head and felt like he was about to have intensive phobia.

There are at least tens of thousands of these densely packed parasitic spiders.

Liszt sneered and looked at his wife Lindsay. "I told you not to speak carelessly. Did you make a wrong judgment?"

"sorry."

Lindsay felt a little ashamed.

"What are the parasitic snow spiders afraid of?"

Li En turned around and asked Lindsay, who was in a depressed mood.

"They're afraid of fire. These ice monsters are basically afraid of flames."

At this moment, Li En suddenly missed the Fire Witch Fulla. Unfortunately, he didn't know where Fulla had escaped to. Maybe she was still with Ophelia.

"Where's the ice?"

Sophie looked at Lindsay.

"Snow spiders are cold-resistant and immune to ice."

"Where's the water?"

Nancy asked.

Lindsay shook her head again. "Snow spiders can also dive into the water to breathe and are immune to water."

"Where's the wind?"

Lee En asked.

"The wind might be a try, if it doesn't kill them but just drives them away."

Lindsay said.

"Stop talking nonsense, these spiders are about to crawl out."

Liszt said nervously, "Let's run away."

"It's too late to escape now."

After Li En finished speaking, the ice layer completely cracked, and countless densely packed snow spiders fell down, like heavy snow all over the sky.

An ice snowflake appeared in the palm of Sophie's hand. The snowflake floated into the sky and immediately turned into a huge ice net.

The snow spider fell on the ice web, its body was quickly frozen, and finally turned into small and exquisite sculptures.

"This……"

Lindsay was very surprised. She originally thought that these monsters had lived in the frosty world of the first layer of the crack for a long time and should have been immune to ice. However, she did not expect that Sophie's ice magic could still freeze them.

"As I said, we have the most powerful ice magician in our team."

Li En explained to Lindsay.

Lindsay still felt unbelievable and she began to suspect that Sophie was a witch.

"Lindsay, don't be so self-righteous."

In order to save the face he lost when he said he was going to run away, Lister could only rely on stepping on Lindsay.

Lindsay found that since entering the crack, Liszt seemed like a different person and was no longer as romantic and considerate as before.

"I see."

Lindsay said with her head down.

"Actually, Lindsay is right. I really can't kill them. They're just temporarily trapped and haven't completely lost their activity. I gathered them together, lit a bonfire, and threw them into it."

Sophie said slowly.

Lindsay looked at Sophie gratefully and decided to keep the secret for her.

So what if she's a witch? In such a dangerous environment like the rift, anyone who antagonizes a witch is a fool.

Everyone followed Sophie's instructions and lit a bonfire in the center of the cave.

Sophie threw the frozen spiders into the fire in batches. The flames crackled and the spiders were quickly burned to death.

When the first batch of spiders were burned to death, fragments of the Gift Crystal emitting colorful light appeared in the flames.

These fragments automatically gathered together to form a pearl-sized gift crystal.

“There must be more than 50 pieces, right?”

Hewen Field exclaimed.

Liszt was so envious that his teeth ached, but unfortunately Li En had no intention of sharing the gift crystal with him.

The adventurers began to clean the cave, and after making sure it was safe, they brought in the carriages and supplies.

"Sir, we don't have much charcoal left. The wood won't last until tomorrow night at most."

Lolita, the maid in charge of managing supplies, said to Hewen Field.

Hewen Field held his chin with one hand and looked at the burning fire.
"Can't people be used as fuel? If there's really no charcoal, just throw Lister in."

Lister was so angry that he wanted to kick Hewen Field into the fire, but unfortunately, everyone here was Hewen Field's people, so Lister could only think about it.

"Sir, don't joke."

Lolita frowned.

"Don't you realize that this snow spider is a good fuel?"

Li En suddenly asked.

"Yes, the bodies of parasitic snow spiders are rich in oils. These oils are the secret to their resistance to the cold. They can indeed be used as fuel."

Lindsay said excitedly.

"But sir, isn't it a bit horrible to capture these snow spiders and use them as fuel?"

Lolita looked at Li En.

"In this hellish abyss, we must know how to utilize all available resources."

Li En said to Sophie,
"Sophie, we'll need to work hard to catch some more parasitic snow spiders."

Sophie nodded slightly. She could sense spiders hiding deep in the ice of the cave.

Half an hour later, Sophie had created an ice box filled with parasitic snow spiders.

These spiders are spare burning materials, and after they are burned, they can also precipitate blessing crystals.

Except for the fact that Li En couldn't get points, everything else was an advantage.

As long as the box stays with Sophie, these snow spiders will not be able to parasitize humans.

"It's late at night now, so we'll stay here tonight."

Li En looked at his pocket watch and said to the adventurers.

The adventurers took out the spare bear meat from the carriage and started to make soup.

During the day, the team members basically ate dry bread and flatbreads. Only the meal at night was a dinner that could truly replenish energy.

Although no food was provided, Lister and his wives were given broth as a token of gratitude for the information Lindsay provided.

After everyone had eaten their fill and arranged for a night watchman, they entered the sleeping bag crystal.

Liszt and his wives gathered around the campfire and began to doze off.

"Liszt, Liszt, Liszt."

Liszt was awakened by a familiar voice.

"Lena, it's Lena, she's not dead?"
