Chapter 506: Snow Domain Cataclysm · Beginning (3k)
Hearing the sound from behind, Su Jiu stopped again, his heart skipped a beat, he suddenly turned his head to the place of the image, stared at the other person’s glasses frame, and quickly asked, “The feather is warm?! Can I see it?”
“Yes…”
Although Su Jiu’s excitement startled the Heber Patriarch, he calmly took out a feather from his pocket and suspended it in the center of his palm.
Watching his movements, Su Jiu’s gaze shifted from the glasses to his palm, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and a sense of absurdity arose in his heart. If it weren’t for reality, he would even feel possessed by Fire Brother.
The feather was gently floating in the image, with a frosty color, and faint ice crystals were moving on it, cold and exquisite, without any difference from what was said.
“Councilor Herbert! An exploration team member who followed the Duke has returned! He… he…”
Suddenly, a crisp female voice sounded in the image, and Su Jiu could feel the tremor in her voice, which was the fear of humans facing the unknown.
Listening to the other party’s voice, the Heber Patriarch slightly raised his head, a misty fog rose on his glasses with black frames, he looked at the female priest reporting opposite him, and asked calmly, “Is something wrong?”
With the help of his voice, the female priest opposite seemed to have calmed down a lot. The sound of swallowing saliva came from the image, and the sound of deep breathing slowly came through. The female priest spoke:
“He has a lot of tearing wounds, a large hole in his back, and his intestines have fallen out, as if he was attacked by a nearby high-level demon, and he keeps muttering the word [Ancestral Land]…”
“Ancestral Land?”
Su Jiu and the Heber Family in the image were stunned. What was going on… The latter narrowed his eyes and calmly asked back, “Are there any other situations? For example, information about the Duke.”
Calmness is contagious, and the female priest no longer had the trembling voice from before. After a moment of thought, she continued to answer:
“Besides this, there is no other situation. His mind is already blurred. When he came, he was holding an egg like a fire goose in his hand, but there were some incomprehensible patterns on it.”
He paused again and asked, “So, do we need to leave here immediately? This teammate looks like he was being chased. If we continue to stay here, we are very likely to be attacked.”
“This team member’s strength is around the high-rank battle general level. We have a high-rank battle king here, and I am an initial-stage battle king, a total of two battle kings. If he can escape back successfully, then the enemy chasing him will not be something to fear.”
A trace of thought flickered in the Heber Patriarch’s eyes. Su Jiu’s words and this team member’s injuries made him suspect that demons were indeed trying to kill them. After a moment of silence, he slowly stood up, “Let’s heal him first. As for the Duke, something must have happened. I believe he can handle it with his strength.”
In fact, when he learned that the other party was a team member led by the old Duke, he had already thought of leaving. After all, to attack a team member under the eyes of the old Duke, there must be someone to stop him. Those who can do this are…
Equally at the War God Level!
However, as a noble under the old Duke, it was impossible to leave with people privately. Moreover, Su Jiu would call the Snow Guards over. Now, all he could do was to appease the team members.
“The communication time is up, so let’s not talk anymore.”
After saying that, he glanced at the flashing communication communicator and turned off the communication…
On the other side, Su Jiu looked at the turned-off pen, her face showing a solemn expression. From the information in the conversation, she already understood that the Duke might have been attacked, but it was likely a situation of equal strength, otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent someone back to deliver the message…
As for the content of the message…
“Did you find anything?”
Su Jiu turned her head to look at Catherine, seeing her thoughtful expression. Since the words “Ancestral Land” were spoken just now, she had been in a state of contemplation.
“Ah? No…”
Hearing Su Jiu’s voice, Catherine came back to her senses, shook her head slowly, and looked a little uncertain. She patted Su Jiu’s shoulder again and smiled, “Aren’t you going to find them? I went to the area near Mount Myce when I was a child, and I’m still familiar with it. Let’s go after we report to the Snow Guards.”
“The Snow Guards are not needed. We’d better set off now.”
Su Jiu said softly. The other team member should have obtained some clues, and they were very important, so they had to ensure their safety.
“Just us?”
Hearing Su Jiu’s words, Catherine was stunned, pointed at herself, and blinked in confusion.
Su Jiu grabbed her wrist and walked out into the snow, saying softly, “Yes, if we can’t do it, then the Snow Guards of this second-tier city definitely can’t.”
While talking, the two of them had already come outside. Su Jiu looked up at the sky, which had started snowing again, swung her long scythe, stuck it into the ground, and then ordered softly:
“Little Sisi, with your strength, using your external qi to carry us to fly should be faster than us flying ourselves.”
“Little Sisi?” Catherine was slightly stunned, and couldn’t help but think of the little girl who followed Su Jiu’s behind…
“Okay.”
With a flash of white light, Bairnis appeared in front of the two. The latter nodded at Su Jiu, continuously joined her fingers, and a touch of crimson blue lifted from her fingertips. With a wave, the crimson blue turned into butterflies.
The snow on the ground was swept away by the impact, and as the butterflies piled up, the place became like a cloud that could accommodate about five people.
“Miss, please come up. Little butterflies are waiting for you.”
After saying that, Bairnis stepped onto it first, stamped a few times, and extended her hand to Su Jiu. The smile on her face was still gentle, but her words were like coaxing a child.
“Mm.”
Hearing that soft and charming tone, Su Jiu dared not look into those light blue eyes for too long. She quickly turned around, grabbed the stunned Catherine, and reminded her, “Let’s go. Little Sisi is very strong, you don’t have to worry about falling.”
“Mm…”
Suppressing the shock in her heart, Catherine also nodded and followed. She surprisingly found that the woman who had transformed from the scythe had a face that resembled that little girl. It turned out that the other party was a humanoid demon that was a weapon…
But back then, it was difficult to sense her aura, and now her momentum seemed to have strengthened a lot. What level would she be now?
“Miss Catherine, is there something on my face?”
Bairnis naturally noticed her gaze, tilted her head slightly, and showed a faint smile. Her eyes were still watery, but the gentleness was gone.
“No… nothing.”
In an instant, Catherine suddenly felt a chill rise from her heart, and she quickly looked away, also following. This girl gave her the feeling of a poisoned drug with honey.
Elegant and dangerous.
She was completely different from the somewhat inferior appearance she had before.
…
In the vast white sky, a fierce wind suddenly rose, and the “clouds” swept through the cold airflow like lightning with storms. On top of the “clouds,” three figures were in their respective positions.
At this moment, Su Jiu looked at the sudden cold current ahead, extended her arm, and supported a gray flame energy shield for the three of them. She felt uneasy, and then she acted, asking Catherine, who was directing the way,
“Are cold currents also common in the western regions of Bear Country?”
Hearing this, Catherine also looked up and looked at the airflow constantly impacting outside through the energy shield, and said with some worry,
“It’s not common, even rare. Such cold currents are usually caused by demon groups. My father often has his subordinates regularly deal with overpopulated demon groups to prevent these cold currents from affecting people’s lives.”
“The demons have started to act. Even if that Frost Ghost was intercepted, it couldn’t stop the spread of that information, just like the Ice Dragon that attacked the Duke’s Mansion before.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu exhaled a breath of hot air, but her movements were not slow. From time to time, she would slash out sharp blades with her fingertips. The blades were covered with gray flames, cleaning up the demons hidden in the cold current.
“The Cold Wind Sparrow tribe has indeed often attacked humans before. I didn’t expect them to gather together again now.”
After Su Jiu dealt with some of the demons, Catherine’s slightly surprised voice sounded, her gaze fixed on the slain demons.
The three of them were actually like playing “Thunder Fighter.” Every few minutes of flying, they would encounter a small BOSS at the Battle King level, which would slow down for Su Jiu to charge up for a slash.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many races of demons.”
Catherine was somewhat numb from watching. She suddenly found that many demon races that had long since disappeared were involved in the cold current. They were all races that had attacked human towns and were on the hunting list.
“The target of these demons seems to be the city.”
The longer they flew, the more uneasy Su Jiu felt. These demons seemed to be gathering. If it weren’t for her clearing the way, they might have already arrived at the city…
“Not good! The accident of the Duke and others might be a diversionary tactic!”
Su Jiu suddenly thought of something, and a faint ripple appeared in her pupils. She quickly sent a text message to Rancy while the signal was still available—
[Snow Guards cannot leave the city! There may be a large number of demons attacking now, quickly notify the city defenders to activate the formation and transfer urban and rural personnel.]
After the message was sent for a long time, just when Su Jiu thought the message hadn’t been sent, as if blessed by the goddess of luck, it didn’t show a red exclamation mark, and it seemed to have been sent.
“How far are we from there?”
Relieved, Su Jiu put away her phone and asked, then continued to clear the wandering demons.
They were only facing demons from one direction, but the surroundings of the city were not only mountainous in one direction!
“I don’t know, over thirty kilometers, but we are flying straight through the sky, so it should be a lot closer.”
Catherine couldn’t give a detailed route. She could only use her avatar to try to see through the terrain below, but in the end, she could only give a vague answer.
