Chapter 650: The Girl in the Frost

Chapter 650 The Girl in the Frost

In order to get away from the pursuing insect swarm as quickly as possible, the people who escaped from the Stone Forest Castle chose the flattest route with the fewest obstacles, which was the direction leading directly to the barren grassland in the south.

More than 30 carriages were running wildly on the road. On the following carriages stood the extraordinary people who cast spells, throwing out exploding fireballs from time to time to block the insect swarms flying like black fog in the sky.

At high speed, many horses pulling the carriages were foaming at the mouth and their necks were bleeding, but even so, the people driving the carriages did not dare to stop them. They could only keep urging them with whips, looking around anxiously and panickingly.

A carriage was driving at high speed, and the wheel was tripped by a stone. If it was normal, it would only bump a little, but at the high speed, the body of the carriage was bounced up a little by the stone, and then tilted to the side and front. As a result, the whole body of the carriage lost balance in the air and tilted to the ground, hitting and dragging on the ground with people and carriages. The body of the carriage fell apart, the horses were strangled and fell backwards, and various objects and passengers were scattered on the ground.

The carriages behind had to evade the attack urgently, but several carriages were unable to dodge and crashed into the carriages on the ground. The wooden body of the carriage broke, and a driver was even thrown into the air and fell from the sky, causing dizziness

and fractures. Screams spread across the wilderness, but the swarm of insects in the sky would not stop. Soon, the people and horses struggling on the ground were covered by the swarm of insects. A heart-wrenching howl sounded in the night sky, and then it quickly weakened, leaving only a mess of blood and bone remains, like a skeleton dismembered by the most stingy butcher.

In the leading carriages, several gray-feathered elders who were holding the carriages heard the howling and closed their eyes, trying not to think about what happened, but after a few seconds, one of them opened his eyes and asked in this panic and tense moment.

"How many people are left? Is there a trend of the swarm weakening?"

A Gray Feather Transcendent who was accompanying them turned over and got out of the carriage, holding the constantly bumping and running carriage with one hand, and then looked at the swarm of insects that continued to stretch behind.

"There are about 25 carriages left, and the swarm of insects is about one-third less than before."

"One-third..." The people in the car felt a little hopeful about this result, but also a little hard to accept.

They have run such a long way, and since there are still two-thirds left, the persistence of these insects is really terrifying.

"If we continue to run, the horses may not be able to support it. We will have to walk a little further. If there is no turnaround, we can only stop and fight."

"Let the spellcasters behind save their energy and don't use up all of it."

"Yes."

The chase in the wilderness is still going on. In one of the carriages, Orles, wrapped in a light brown robe, knelt on the ground, looking out the window with some curiosity. The chassis frame of the carriage she is currently in is made of steel, which is very solid. The interior of the carriage is also relatively luxurious and comfortable. It is the carriage prepared by Sigmund for herself.

Before leaving the city, Sigmund went to the house where Heshia lived and took Orles away, because he knew more about the close relationship between Heshia and the girl, and before Heshia left, she asked him to take care of her friend who lived alone at home.

Unfortunately, Orles refused to leave at the beginning, because Heshia asked her to stay at home and not run around before leaving.

"Tilan, I told you, Orles, be obedient." This is how she answered Sigmund.

In response, Sigmund kept persuading her and told her that the situation was critical. At this time, the swarm of insects also attacked the house and courtyard where Orles lived.

Seeing the two ponies being bitten by insects, Orles became anxious and involuntarily used the magic skills that Tilan taught her.

The cold air spread under her feet, and countless fragments of ice particles formed in the air, and then wandered throughout the house and courtyard like a blizzard, taking away those black insects.

Not only did they save the two ponies, but Sigmund also survived the attack of the insect swarm.

Seeing this, Sigmund was pleasantly surprised. He thought she would be a burden, but he didn't expect her to be such a powerful transcendent. Then, under his persuasion and guidance, Orles agreed to take the two ponies away, because Tilan had said before that the two ponies were partners and asked Orles to feed them.

Now the situation has changed critically. If they don't leave, the two ponies may die in the attack of the insect swarm. With this reason, Orles finally agreed to act together. As for why Tilan didn't receive the signal from Orles's necklace pendant, it was because Orles felt that she hadn't felt the danger yet and felt that she could still take care of herself now.

"No, let Tilan worry." She also has self-esteem, although she is not as proud as before.

Under the night, the carriage ran wildly, and the lantern hanging in front kept shaking. The iron chain and the lantern hit the body of the car from time to time, making a clanging sound.

After running for several hours, the horses pulling the carriages finally couldn't hold on any longer, and many died of exhaustion on the way. Seeing that the situation had reached its limit, the leader of the Gray Feather had to order everyone to stop and resist on the spot.

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"Surround the carriages in a circle, everyone go inside." The guards in chain mail shouted loudly, asking the remaining survivors to gather as much as possible.

Just as the swarm of insects in the back was about to catch up, the leading several Gray Feather elders jointly cast a spell, and a hemispherical cover gradually spread, covering the entire temporary camp.

This dark gray cover not only blocked the line of sight, but also blocked the smell and magic fluctuations, and finally even gradually concealed the people and objects in the entire camp. Looking down from the sky, the ground was blank and desolate. If it weren't for the traces of the wheel tracks in the back, it would be impossible to guess where they were hiding.

A large number of insects flew and wandered blindly in the wilderness, looking for the smell information left in the air, but there was no specific direction and result. In the gray dome, the hundreds of people who survived looked at the swarm of insects swimming outside nervously.

Time passed by minute by minute. In order to find traces of living things, the swarm of insects hovering in the sky began to separate and spread in all directions in the wilderness, but there were still many left in the original place. Some sucked and bit the horses and corpses abandoned along the way, and some simply fell on the ground to rest.

In this situation, the people in the dome could only lower their voices and all activities, and wait very carefully.

Without a clock, watching the insects wandering outside, everyone felt like a year. Even if they could rest at this time, many people did not dare to close their eyes.

At this time, suddenly some insects crawled to the edge of the dome. They might not be very smart, but when they touched the edge of the dome, they instinctively felt something strange. They kept crawling and exploring, trying to pass through the dome, but they were separated by the vague force field inside.

Such feedback made these insects gradually excited and curious. Some began to shake their antennae and emit pheromones to call their companions. More insects began to gather in this direction.

Watching this scene, many people's hearts gradually sank to the bottom of the valley, and some even trembled and their breathing became heavier.

"Hold on, calm down, calm down..." Several gray feather species lowered their voices, constantly comforting and guiding the people around them, to prevent some people from unconsciously moving and behaving in extreme despair.

But even so calm, it can't solve the real problem. The swarm of insects began to notice this place. They gradually accumulated on the periphery of the dome, using their bodies to outline this hidden hemispherical space.

Such a discovery attracted more swarms of insects, and they also began to infiltrate from all angles, especially underground.

Watching those insects drill into the ground, and even a few of them began to drill out of the dome, many people finally couldn't help but panic. They used various things to slap and attack these insects, and then the pheromones emitted by the dead insects made more and more insects drill here, and the entire isolated dome was about to fall.

At this moment, a bright meteor fell from the sky, directly piercing through the dome that blocked light and smell. When everyone looked up in panic, they saw that it was an ice crystal sword inserted diagonally into the ground.

Then the ripples of frost spread from the sword as the center, covering the ground within a radius of nearly one kilometer, freezing the ground like steel, and the insects that had drilled into the ground also died instantly.

In the night sky, the dress and long hair fluttered, and the girl with silver-gray long hair slowly descended. Several ice crystal swords were suspended beside her, and the strong magic aura emanating from her also attracted the insect swarm within a radius of more than ten kilometers.

The humming sound never ceased, and the black fog in the sky rushed under the starry sky, rushing towards the silver-gray girl who descended in the night sky. The light in the eyes of the girl

of the Decree Frost Moon

flowed, and several symbols flashed, and then invisible ripples spread with her as the center of the circle, and all the insects that approached fell like sifted powder.

The frozen insects mixed with snow and frost fell endlessly, slowly accumulating on the ground, and the air began to become extremely cold.

Looking up at the heavy snow falling all over the sky, the survivors in the mountain fortress wrapped their clothes tightly and watched the world become quiet again. They had never felt this way before, that is, it turns out that the word silence can also spread and devour like fire, drowning the world they see.

The wilderness that was full of humming and running, screaming and howling a few minutes ago became extremely quiet. There were no extra living things, no extra sounds, only the insect corpses and snowflakes and ice crystals that kept piling up on the ground, silently telling everything.

Looking at the dirty gray snowflakes on the ground, the girl in the sky was not satisfied, so she waved her hand again, and the invisible wind blew slowly, the originally frozen ground melted, and the previously accumulated frost and snowflakes dissipated like an illusion.

Then the loose and light insect corpses were all swept into the air. Just when everyone was worried about whether they would move again, the flames ignited in the night sky and spread to the sky at a very fast speed, so that in the end the entire night sky was illuminated like daylight.

Speaking of which, my power is not as convenient as my sister's in combat and destruction.

Stretching the transparent cicada wings behind her, the girl slowly descended. At this time, everyone in the Stone Forest Fortress looked at her as if she were a character in some mythology, crawling on the ground, full of awe and fear.

The invisible force field spread, and even if they just walked by the side, the people at the scene could feel the lingering cold breath, which made their spirits sober and calm.

"Tilan."

The only one standing and not crawling on the ground was Orles. She happily watched Tilan approach, and then went forward to hug her good friend.

Her fingers slowly stroked the long hair on Orles' back, and Heshia also felt relieved. At this time, she turned back to ask about the specific process and situation of the gray feather species present.

...

"In other words, the entire Stone Forest Fort area is now destroyed." Heshia felt a little regretful and lost, because many new races disappeared without her knowing the details.

"Yes, we plan to migrate to the west later. There are vast rivers and many settlements there."

"I heard that it is ruled by the wolf blood species. Will the wolf blood queen allow you to go there?" Heshia was curious.

"Before we left, the Gray Scholar had given us a token of proof. As long as we bring it to the queen of the wolfbloods, they will give us a small place to live and accommodate us."

"As for the Gray Scholar, when the swarm rushed into the fortress, he did not leave with us, but went deep underground in the stone fortress. It was very hot there, and the river of lava leading to the underground was the only one who could endure such high temperatures. According to the Gray Scholar, he will sleep underground for another ten years before waking up."

The Gray Feathers have such a dormant and hidden ability. No wonder they can survive in the fierce battle. Tilan nodded slightly, indicating that she knew, and did not further ask why the Gray Scholar did not flee with everyone. This is probably their internal survival philosophy, and they will not put all their hopes together.

"What happened next..." Several Gray Feathers present were a little hesitant. They wanted to invite the girl to go with them, but they were afraid of offending her. After all, the strength shown by Heshia now was completely beyond their imagination. They couldn't even guess what sequence the girl was, how powerful she was, and so on.

Seeing what they were thinking, Heshia didn't care, just shook her head slightly.

"I'm afraid I can't go with you later." She estimated that she would have to take Lololia and some war machines with her in the future, and some things were too troublesome to explain.

The gray feathers present immediately expressed their understanding and did not dare to dissuade them, and said that if Heshia needed anything in the future, she could contact them.

"We also have a complete set of communication equipment here, which can be given to the adults." Several gray feathers carefully carried out an iron box, which contained a generator, a radio signal transmitter, a telegraph, and a matching receiving device.

"These things." The girl tilted her head and thought about it. It should be useful, so she nodded and took it.

Then Heshia and the surviving people of Shilin Mountain Fort parted ways, watching them continue to move westward, while she herself took Orles's hand and flew back to the direction where Lololia and the others were.

A few minutes later, the two people who had experienced high-altitude and high-speed flight landed. It was already night, and Sura and the others were having dinner in the camp, and they had no mood to worry about Heshia getting into trouble.

Just as they expected, Heshia brought Orles back easily.

"It's a super rare elf~" Lololia circled Orles, her eyes full of novelty.

"In our time, elves were almost extinct. There were only new races that imitated elves, and they didn't have the natural and fresh feeling of the original ones at all." Lololia explained to Tilan happily, and then hugged Orles' arm to observe more closely.

For Orles, she was also full of curiosity about this mechanical girl. The two of them sat together, groping and observing each other, which was indescribably interesting.

"You two should get along well and sleep tonight." Seeing that the two of them got along well, Heshia was relieved.

"Does Heshia have something else to do tonight?" Seeing her say this, Sura noticed.

"Yes." Heshia stood up and looked at the night sky in the distance where the flames had been extinguished.

"We haven't completely solved the problem of those bugs yet. At least we have to find their nests where they breed."

In the flickering firelight, the girl gently stroked the hair beside her ear and said her thoughts.

"Since I have the ability to do it, why not give it a try and solve this problem completely." When she said this, she had a completely different feeling.

In a civilized society with a complete order, many times, she only needs to solve the current problem. All subsequent investigations and trials are completed by the state machinery, and everyone is taught from childhood not to do things too much and to stop when enough is enough.

But now she has clearly realized what kind of world this is. If she doesn't do this, who will do it?

"So many people have died. We can't let these bugs continue to live."

Now, she can step into the threshold of Sequence 7 at any time, and this time she also wants to know how far she can go if she exerts her full strength.

After leaving the strictly ordered world, many of the strange things in Heshia are finally released slowly. Just as the Water Saint Filuselin said, whether she is the peerless singing girl of the future, or another rising dark sun, everything is still unknown.
