Wizard's Journey

Chapter 345 Narrow Exit (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Passes)

What's going on?

Why did the entrance to the nest tunnel suddenly become so narrow?

The narrow passageway indicates that the nest space on the upper level must have a large number of creatures suppressing the number of snow worms. Generally speaking, such creatures would pose a great threat to the witch hunter.

"What should we do? Should we continue upwards, or retreat to a nest space and find another passage?"

Green's eyes flickered as he recalled the scene in the previous nest space, then said in a low voice, "The last nest space had three entrances, and those two entrances were about thirty meters and seventy meters long respectively, which weren't the optimal choices. As for the nest space before that..."

Ultimately, Green decided to first enter this relatively narrow passage to explore the nest space above before making any further plans.

As the captain of this demon hunter dark wizard squad, no one would object to Green's decision.

Immediately afterwards, Green waved his hand, and the Thousand-Eyed Crab, carrying a large number of demon hunter wizards, flashed into the relatively narrow tunnel entrance.

After flying for approximately five hourglasses.

A gust of cold wind ruffled the reddish-brown fur on the Thousand-Eyed Crab's back and the wizards' robes of the group. Everyone gasped in surprise, wondering what information they had about the cave above them.

"Huh? Young Master, are we going to have to go through a vast lair like a tarantula's nest again?"

The myna bird perched on Green's shoulder and asked in a muffled voice.

After the explosion of the Ice Mother, Hachi had no good impression of the Nest of the Underground World.

Green Truth's face was solemn, and he remained silent.

"Hmph, so what if it's a tarantula's nest? It's no danger to someone like you who only knows how to run away."

Parrot Ye Ye has taken to arguing with Xiao Ba. Every time Xiao Ba says something, Ye Ye seems to feel unwell if she doesn't retort or make sarcastic remarks.

Another half hourglass has passed.

"Um!?"

"This...this is!?"

"A nest space with light?"

Everyone gasped in astonishment at the faint light emanating from ahead, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

After all, among all the nest spaces in the World Nest, only two nest spaces have light: the Sleeping Fish Nest and the Ice Mother Nest.

"hehe."

Green smiled and said happily, "It seems that our World Nest mission is nearing its end."

Even with Green's calm and collected nature, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Venturing into the survival rules of these alien creatures was indeed an extremely tiring and arduous task.

This gives you an idea of ​​the hardships those spy wizards faced.

"Huh? Young Master, you mean... that's the surface ice field up there, and we're about to leave this world's nest!?"

The myna bird cried out in surprise, equally filled with joy.

"Yes, that should be the case," Green said calmly.

"Oh yeah! That's wonderful, young master. We'll take a hot bath first, and oh yes, we'll also have oatmeal porridge with milk and honey bat meat, and..."

The other witch hunters also came to their senses, slapped their foreheads, and cursed themselves for being foolish.

Having been inside the World's Nest for some time now, the witchers had become accustomed to assuming that it would always be the nest of different creatures, and had forgotten that the largest nest space in this world was actually the true face of this world—the vast and endless ice plains on the surface!

Naraku slightly raised his eyes, which were hidden beneath his long golden hair.

Her eyes gleamed with a ghostly light as she gazed through her hair toward the light emanating from the distant cave entrance, two bright points of light reflected in her pupils.

Lulena gently brushed her short blonde hair behind her right ear, revealing a blue gemstone earring hanging from her delicate earlobe. A slight smile played on her lips, and Parrot Ye Ye looked on with anticipation.

Salis gently cradled the squirrel on her head in her arms and slowly combed its soft fur.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief amidst their joy, and under Green's urging, the Thousand-Eyed Crab's speed increased even further.

call……

On the thick ice plains, under the bright sunshine, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew against everyone's wizard hoods. This sense of freedom and openness, with no longer a thick layer of rock pressing down on their heads, and the sudden openness of the sky and the earth, made the people who had spent a year and a half in the Nest of the World feel relaxed and even wanted to shout out loud!

Behind us was a cave that was only about fifty meters long.

This nest entrance is such an ordinary, insignificant nest entrance in the nest world, it looks like it has no special features, it just appears calmly on the surface ice field.

However, who could have imagined that beneath the entrance to this nest lay such a vast and indescribable ecosystem?

Thus, Green couldn't help but imagine the Shadow Wizard who had once explored this world.

If the other side were to be even slightly careless and fail to thoroughly explore these nests, this world would probably no longer be a nest world, but an ice field world.

Simultaneously.

Green noticed that there was no black rope net at the entrance of the lair, which meant that the entrance to the lair had not been discovered by the demon hunters during the special mission issued by the Black Tower Saint Mark Wizard.

"Hey, young master, look at these ice flowers!"

The myna bird cried out in mid-air.

Everyone looked in the direction the myna had flown, and their vision, after passing through the ice and snowflakes, landed on a large patch of blue and white ice flowers on a distant hillside.

The other witch hunters didn't think much of it, assuming they were just ordinary creatures from the lair world.

After a moment of distraction, Green was suddenly startled!

"Xiao Ba, don't touch those flowers!"

Green shouted, but it seemed a little too late. Little Eight had a blue flower stamen in its mouth and clicked its tongue, saying, "It smells so good."

At the same time, Xiao Ba seemed to hear Green's shout and asked in surprise, "Why?"

The other witch hunters were also puzzled by Green's sudden reaction. In his haste, Green summoned Little Eight to his shoulder and took a blue flower stamen from Little Eight's mouth.

"Huh? Young master, you want some too? There's plenty more here."

The myna bird asked, puzzled.

This flower stamen is full of the breath of life, and also exudes a sweet fragrance, as wonderful as honey, a fragrance completely opposite to the deathly fragrance of the crystal core inside the locust's body.

The witch hunter beside him glanced at the blue flower stamen in Green's hand a few times, and even considered collecting some as specimens.

Click!Click!

The sound of ice cracking could be faintly heard in the distance.

Everyone assumed it was caused by the cold wind blowing the ice and didn't pay much attention, because in their minds, creatures on the surface ice plains must be low-level creatures that were easily defeated.

Green looked up.

Beneath the Mask of Truth, the elemental's eyes were grave as he said, "The situation is probably not right. We must retreat back to the cave immediately!"

"Um!?"

Confused, the group retreated back into the cave.

Shouldn't we return to the space fortress base immediately to submit the mission?

Based on our estimation, it's only about twenty days' journey from here to the Wizarding World's Origin Space Fortress Base, so the demon-hunting mission for everyone present can be considered complete.

The mission was completed in less than two years, earning a total of six Witch Essences.

At this point, Green actually said he wanted to go back?

Puzzled, the group did not act immediately, but waited with puzzled eyes for Green's explanation as to why they should retreat back to the oppressive World Nest when the mission was about to be completed.

Click! Click! Click! Click! Click...

Gradually, the cracking sound of the almost continuous ice layer finally attracted everyone's attention. With a bang, a red-eyed ice rat poked its head out from the ice layer on the ground a hundred meters away from the group.

"Hmm? This little creature..."

Green's expression changed drastically. Unlike before, when the Shadow Starfall had landed some distance away, this time it was much closer...

"Retreat now!"

After shouting, Green ignored everyone and directly instructed the Thousand-Eyed Crab to retreat frantically back into the relatively narrow entrance to the World Nest behind him.

No wonder...

No wonder the passage beneath the entrance to this world's nest is so narrow; the creatures in the nest below are clearly very weak.

So that's the reason!

After Green retreated several hundred meters within the World Nest's perimeter, the roars and screams from behind finally caught up with him, along with a tidal wave of squeaking.

"Young Master, those guys aren't like the Ice Bats, are they?"

Realizing he had made a mistake, the myna bird asked in a trembling voice.

Grimm glared at the myna bird and said, "What do you think?"

"Well……"

Grimm gritted his teeth, suddenly stomped his foot on the Thousand-Eyed Crab, and roared, "Stop!"

"Understood, Lord Green."

After taking a deep breath, Green slowly turned around on the back of the Thousand-Eyed Crab, solemnly removing the Mask of Truth to reveal an ice crystal on his forehead emitting a chilling light.

The red and blue elemental beings stared sharply behind them, holding their ram-horned skull magic staffs and waiting quietly.

It seems that Green has made some important decision.
