Chapter 291 - Hope and Despair

The moment the second mirage appeared, Bei Xue and Lukas were both taken aback.

Immediately, they took out paper and pen and began to sketch.

After a while, as night fell, Bei Xue frowned deeply.

She took out the "mirage map" she hadn't finished drawing yesterday and made a simple comparison.

"Indeed, it's completely different."

After returning to the ice hut, Bei Xue started studying the "Magic Trace Theory" again.

"On the fourteenth morning when the mirage appears, stand at the altar at the foot of the mountain..."

"Maybe there are mirages every day, and the routes they manifest are all completely different."

"Only the route recorded on the corresponding day is the correct one?"

"What about the altar?"

"I've searched all five big mountains, and I can't see where the altar is."

"Could it be buried by ice and snow?"

"Lukas, tomorrow you will go with me to find it."

Lukas, who was stirring the meat soup by the hanging pot, was slightly stunned.

"Hmm."

Today's dinner was still the tasteless wild beast meat.

Such dry and tough meat, which is hard to swallow, is not so difficult to eat when stewed with simple seasonings with your eyes closed.

This is a survival tip that Lukas has understood over the years.

At first, when he caught prey, he would choose to eat it raw, but later, the local creatures of the magic land were almost extinct, and even the edible parts of the wild beast's meat still carried a weak neurotoxin, which could easily kill a common creature.

Even low-level monks would feel faint and in shock after eating it.

If the meat is cooked, this part of the neurotoxin will become completely ineffective.

These are all Lukas's personal experiences.

After dinner, it was time to rest.

The night of the Karolis snowfield is always accompanied by a cold and piercing wind, and the temperature of the cold wave is more than twice as low as during the day, which is a natural force that even Bei Xue, a seventh-order demon, cannot completely ignore.

In addition, they can't have any entertainment activities, so going to bed early is quite normal.

After Lukas lay down, he was once again rolled into a soft embrace by the wings.

Lukas pursed his lips and fell asleep.

The next day.

After the sun dispelled the snow at night, Bei Xue took Lukas to the foot of the five big mountains.

But just as they arrived at the destination, and even before they started to search, Bei Xue saw the altar made of ancient white jade in front of the first mountain peak.

"Damn it!"

"There was nothing here yesterday!"

"Could it be that the appearance of the altar also follows a certain rule?"

"On the fourteenth day of the appearance of the mirage in the morning, it must also meet the time rule of the appearance of the altar?"

Bei Xue touched his chin and looked at Lukas.

"Lukas, every day after that, the mirage that appears, please remember it."

Lukas nodded in agreement.

One day.

Another day.

During this period, Bei Xue has been studying the five mountains.

The number of mirage maps recorded by Lukas is also increasing.

And each one has deduced the correct route in advance.

Finally, on the fourteenth morning after the first mirage map was recorded.

Perhaps the previous judgment was wrong, or perhaps the cycle of the appearance of the altar is very long. In the past ten days, the white jade altar in front of the mountain peak has not disappeared again.

When everything was ready,

Bei Xue pinched the sunrise, and Lukas, holding his sister in his arms, stepped onto the altar.

The cold wind howled, and the white jade altar suddenly lit up with countless red lines.

The flame melted the ice and snow, and the second mountain of the five mountains began to shrink.

A large area of ice water flowed along the lines outlined by the white jade altar, and was completely absorbed by the altar and disappeared.

A path paved with skeletons slowly appeared.

At this moment, both Bei Xue and Lukas were silent, just clenching their fists tightly, and the sharp nails on their faces did not realize when they were embedded in the palm.

Having hope in the heart is one thing.

But hope is really fulfilled and transformed into reality is another thing.

After a while, Bei Xue pressed down the excitement in his heart and took the lead and stepped onto the road to the new world.

This road has thousands of branches, all routes converge into a huge circle, and most of the routes are covered by a mysterious force, Bei Xue and Lukas can only see the road within a radius of five meters.

And every time they pass a fork, the road they have passed will disappear.

There is no way back, only forward.

Bei Xue swallowed saliva and subconsciously grabbed Lukas's arm.

This is a real step wrong, it is a deep abyss.

Fortunately, they have a complete road map, and have already remembered the deduced route in their hearts, as long as Lukas's drawing is not wrong, the route they take will not be wrong.

Now they can only hope that Lukas is really impressive.

"The third left fork, turn..."

"Then the first left fork, turn, and the second right fork..."

Bei Xue held the mirage map in his hand, and Lukas had been reciting the route in his heart.

Do not interfere with each other, but always maintain a consistent pace.

This is the method they had discussed before, in order to avoid one of them looking at the wrong map. If the pace of the two people is always consistent, it means they have not deviated from the route.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour... half an hour...

Until two hours later, the sun gradually rose to the center of the sky, and the two people gradually slowed down and held their breath.

According to the deduced route map, as long as they turn left at the next fork, they can directly pass the first test.

At this time, Lukas can no longer pretend to be calm.

He took the initiative to grab Bei Xue's hand and found that the other's palm was full of sweat.

"Let's go?"

This is the first suggestion Lukas has made in two years.

Bei Xue nodded, and even did not care about Lukas's behavior of committing a crime, her eyes were staring at the fork that determined the fate of the two people.

One step, two steps...

The sunlight entered the eyes, and a huge joy arose from the heart.

The earth trembled, and the remaining four of the five mountains also melted in succession.

Four huge black triangular bodies came into view.

The whole body is as deep as ink and emerald.

"The first and the fifth mountains are guards."

"The third mountain is the body of a god."

"The real trilateral tablet is in the fourth mountain."

Bei Xue recited the content of the Magic Trace Theory again.

She took a deep breath, took Lukas's hand, and began to run.

But just as they were about to touch the tablet.

Click!

A red energy suddenly slashed from the side, drawing a deep ditch on the road.

The middle-aged man in the black robe, sitting on the head of the huge white snake, looked at them coldly.

The wisdom of the wild beasts is constantly evolving.

But now, the ones who dominate the magic land are always the spirit people who bring about the end of the world.

From two years ago, when the old servant was cursed but insisted on crawling several miles under the white feathers of the death curse, Ling Huang noticed this blood demon boy who was struggling in the desert of the magic land.

I don't know why, but at that moment, he always followed the principle of cutting the grass and rooting out the roots, and suddenly had the idea of playing with the mouse. He wanted to see how long this cowardly demon boy could struggle in the nearly destroyed wasteland of the magic land.

He wanted to see if this young man would choose to abandon his sister as a burden when he reached the end of the road.

Or even more ruthless, use it as food.

But this cowardly young man always couldn't reach the end of the road.

Every time the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dried up, he can always meet a few corpses of wild beasts, or snakes, insects, and mice that happen to survive in the end of the world.

Later, when the snakes and insects were extinct, he found a long-term meal ticket.

"The person favored by the air transport." Ling Huang once gave Lukas this evaluation.

Although he doesn't know that there is a hanging son named the son of the air transport in this world, he has also heard that there are very few people in this world who have very good luck.

Hunters who can always come back with a full load.

Farmers who have never encountered natural disasters.

Merchants who never encounter bandits and bandits.

And every time you draw a card, you don't bottom out and you get a double gold in ten consecutive games!!

Ling Huang recognized Lukas's luck, and there was always a feeling that killing

him would definitely regret it.

Until today.

This little mouse that has always been under his attention has brought a surprise to him.

Today, when the fairy domain plan is blocked and the ghost domain is temporarily unable to act, these sharp towers are a real surprise for the main people like Ling Huang who are sent to the magic land to perform tasks!

Especially the middle tower.

It is filled with a faint divine aura!

It's not the pollution of the law, it's the real divinity!

This means that there is either a magic weapon hidden in the tower, or there is a legacy of a god.
