Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 124 Hunter

The weather is cold, just like the human heart.

This is not a good sign. Could it be that they were too late and everyone has frozen to death?

"Don't let your imagination run wild."

Yi Yin took the initiative to stop this extremely crazy idea in his mind. He even felt that the dragon boat being destroyed was better than that possibility.

At this moment, a blizzard blew from nowhere and covered half of the sky, and also covered the Thirteenth Princess' Ark with a thick layer of frost.

"This, what is this?"

Herara said in horror, she had never seen such a big snow scene since she hatched from the egg.

"It's over!"

Jiaozi said sadly, "I have a feeling that the Ark will be in trouble again this time."

"Jiaozi, shut up!" Selina screamed.

then……

A headwind blew, and everyone was turned around by the wind. The ark also drifted with the wind, and no one knew where it went.

.

After an unknown amount of time, everyone woke up in a daze. The Ark was undoubtedly damaged, but fortunately, everyone was safe.

"Is this the Outer Sea?"

Bubulu was the first to react. He looked around and found that they seemed to be standing on a large cloud.

"This should be the place where we just arrived at the Dragon Palace." Di Qi pointed to a pile of dragon bones not far away. "That was Hera's deceased mother, the previous Ichthyosaur Princess."

"Mother……"

Seeing her mother's remains, Herara felt extremely distressed. She wanted to go forward and pay tribute to her mother, and then gain some courage from it.

Just as Helala was about to leave, she felt a pair of hands pulling at her robe and pulling her back.

Hera looked back and found it was Xuanwu. Xuanwu shook his head slightly, as if signaling her not to act rashly.

"(There's a dangerous aura here... Just like when the tyrant bug appeared.)"

Listening to what Xuanwu "said" to him, Yiyin looked around decisively.

Apart from the vast expanse of white earth, you can vaguely hear some sparse sounds, like a group of insects flying around.

insect?

"It's a Gu insect!"

Bubulu was the first to react thanks to his amazing hearing.

Upon hearing this, everyone except Herara and Xuanwu gasped.

In the salt water zone, the poisonous insects almost sucked all their blood. If Mr. Brownson had not sacrificed himself to buy them a chance to escape, they would definitely not have been able to stay here.

"What is a Gu worm...?"

Herara knew nothing about this, but she instinctively realized that such ugly bugs should not appear in her hometown.

Could something have happened?

There was no time to think about it. As if they had sensed a delicious meal, the poisonous insects all swarmed out and dyed the white earth black, as if it were a plague.

Having witnessed the horror of poisonous insects, no one dared to be negligent. They could only stand with their backs to each other, ready to deal with the poisonous insects that might come from all directions at any time.

However, this is not a long-term solution after all.

Just when everyone felt helpless, Xuanwu suddenly said in a stern voice:

"Certainly--"

"sleep--"

After two sounds, the large group of poisonous insects fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Selina habitually explained to Bubulu:

"This is the ability of the Xuanwu monster, Longma. Longma is a psychic monster whose main abilities are divination and calculation, but he also has a little-known ability that's comparable to a spell—the Word Spirit! Word Spirit, word spirit, word will come true. However, the release of the Word Spirit has strict conditions. First, the initiator cannot harbor murderous intent, and second, the Word Spirit can only be used on living, conscious objects. Depending on the duration of the Word Spirit, it can be as short as an hour or as long as a day."

"Big sister, there's no need to explain at this point." Jiaozi swallowed, "Although Miss Xuanwu's words are overbearing, they may not last long when they are working on such a large number of poisonous insects at the same time. We must leave here before then!"

Hela was startled. Clearly, the swarm of poisonous insects had shaken her to a pulp. But at this moment, she had to shoulder her responsibilities as the host.

"Come with me, I know a small path. We can quickly meet up with my brother!"

No one dared to delay and hurriedly followed Helala.

"(Feel sorry……)"

Xuanwu seemed to be a little exhausted and couldn't take a step.

"(This is the first time I've tried to activate Word Spirits on so many objects at once, and the consumption seems to be a bit beyond my expectations. Iin, you and the others should go first, I...)"

Yiyin sighed, then grabbed Xuanwu without thinking and carried her on his back easily.

"Senior Xuanwu, please don't give up on maintaining your Word Spirit. Those poisonous insects are extremely fast and will soon catch up and chew us to bones! I will be your legs, just give it your all!"

Seeing that Yiyin looked a little troubled, Bubulu offered to help Yiyin carry Xuanwu.

"No need. Bubulu, you have very sensitive ears. Please pay attention to the movements of the insect for the last moment. Once you can no longer hear the insect's sound, I will ask Senior Xuanwu to terminate the Word Spirit."

Bubulu nodded and began to take the initiative to follow behind.

"You could actually put her in a coffin on Bubu Road, just like I did back then."

Helala glanced at Iin and offered her own suggestion.

"Bulu Bulu!"

The Sibuxiang protested and was obviously not happy to share the coffin with others.

"All right……"

Hera said helplessly, "I should have let you keep wearing the fishtails, but the situation is urgent and I can't care less right now. Now, as long as we cross the river and reach the guarded gate of the Dragon Palace, we should be safe."

After a lot of hurrying, everyone finally managed to squeeze in front of the gate of the Dragon Palace.

At the gate, the shells and wreaths that Herara had framed with her own hands were still there, but their original colors had faded.

Surprisingly, the big lobster guarding the gate had disappeared at some point, leaving only a pile of bones.

Di Qi went over to touch the pile of bones very professionally, then looked at it carefully in his hands.

"Hopeless."

Di Qi shook his head slightly. "Based on the time of death, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals have been dead for some time. There is no doubt that they were killed by the poisonous insects. And... it seems that both the murlocs and the mermen are closely related to humans. Even their skeletal structures are basically similar."

As a descendant of the Leighton family, Di Qi was well versed in the art of assassination and explained the cause of death of those small fry in just a few words.

"Diqi, is there a possibility..."

Since the poisonous insect would not chase him for the time being, Yiyin let go of Xuanwu, but Xuanwu was still weak, so Yiyin had to hold Xuanwu's hand to move.

"The culprit isn't the poisonous insect? In my hometown, someone once developed a potion that can dissolve flesh and skin, leaving only bones. If you're an alchemist, you can probably imitate it..."

"You said this was Albert's doing? But why would Ouroboros set foot in the Dragon Palace?" The quick-witted Jiaozi quickly followed up on Yiyin's words.

Herara looked at the pile of bones with some sadness. Although she didn't know their names, they must have sacrificed their lives to protect the people. How many more nameless victims like this were there?

As a girl, Selina seemed to see what Hera was thinking and patted Hera gently on the shoulder.

"Herara, it seems that Alfonso called you back this time not just to deal with the hibernation day. I think the Dragon Palace is very likely being targeted by someone with ulterior motives." Selina said.

Hera sighed sadly, "But, our Dragon Palace hasn't had any contact with the Earth for a long time. At least that's what most people think. Who is it, and for what purpose, that wants to interfere with the Dragon Palace..."

"Wouldn't it be easier to find Alfonso and ask him?"

Bubulu is still as stubborn as ever, but it is precisely because of this that he can give people confidence.

"So now, all we have to do is keep moving forward!"
