Extraordinary Sailing

After resting for a while, Ivan chose not to stay too much in the dangerous swamp, so he chose to go back the same way.

"Occasionally, it's okay to come out to catch potion materials as adjustments, but if you run around all day for a variety of rare medicines that grow all over the world, the time and energy you spend will not be worth the candle.

Perhaps the way of grabbing wealth from the sea and then transforming wealth into various cultivation resources is more suitable for me. "

Although he just completed a successful hunt unscathed, Ivan is already thinking about staying away from this kind of daily life in the future.

The ancients said that practice requires "money, partner, law, and land", but for Aiwen, who is an apprentice wizard, besides "money", other elements of practice at this stage are all available.

Alvin was not in a hurry.

As a promising naval officer, his future is destined to be in the vast sea, where wealth, treasure and power will be obtained.

This is also the charm of the sea that allows generations of people to continue to explore.

"There will be milk, and there will be bread."

Whoosh—

Leveraging lightly on the fallen dead wood, Aiwen is like a vigorous cheetah, quickly passing through the land islands that are not far away. For ordinary people, it may take a day's journey, but for Ivan, it may only take an hour.

And when going back, it was much faster than when it came.

For Aiwen, there are no more secrets on the road that he walked once, so where is his foothold? Where might danger lurk? It is clear at a glance.

But Aiwen's luck is obviously not very good today, the weather changes faster than his return journey.

When he had just left the continuous land island and stepped on solid ground, an inexplicable thick fog swept across the entire swamp in a short time, and the sky suddenly darkened.

Although it was not to the point where he couldn't see his fingers, it still greatly affected his sight.

After all, the "digital vision" is based on Aiwen's senses, but it cannot strengthen his vision, and he dare not rush on the road recklessly in this weather.

For the sake of caution, Aiwen paused, cut some branches rich in oil, made a torch, and then slowed down and continued on.

Hunting the crocodile has already delayed Aiwen a lot of time, and he doesn't want to spend the night in such a ghost place at all.

The time in the "Digital Vision" shows that it is now 2:54 in the afternoon.

He had to try to get out of the swamp before five o'clock, otherwise, in this weather, it might be completely dark before five o'clock, bringing him more unpredictable dangers.

Unlike the ghost legends that existed only in fantasy or stories in the previous life, this world is a world where extraordinary power manifests. Knights and wizards have already appeared, can those weird and terrifying things be far behind?

Aiwen doesn't want to see the horror and grotesqueness that must exist in this fantasy world at all!

It's a pity that the development of things does not depend on Ivan's will.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the traces left by him when he came were still clearly discernible, but Ai Wen felt that the road under his feet had obviously become much longer.

It's not the elongation of the spatial scale in the real sense, but in Aiwen's feeling, at his normal pace, he should have left the woodland next to the swamp at this time.

But with the light of the torch, the gloomy and messy forest that can't be seen at a glance is still in sight. There are no birds or insects, and the silence is gloomy.

Slowly stopping, Ivan had to admit that something happened that he couldn't understand for the time being.

"Did the ghost hit the wall?"

For a moment, with his boldness, he couldn't help feeling a little bit numb. Poisonous insects and beasts are nothing, but the fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.

And I don't know if it's an illusion, the moment Aiwen stopped, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes suddenly opened in the canopy around him, staring at him without blinking.

Alvin's face was a little gloomy.

This area is clearly marked on the map as a non-dangerous area, at least there should be no extraordinary biological activities that can threaten him, but now Aiwen just wants to scold the profiteer who sold him the map!

But that's all for the future.

The immediate crisis has arrived!

"Pop la la, puff la la"

A large group of birds flew up from the forest.

crow!

But crows, crows!

Hundreds of falcons, which were comparable in size to small ones, flew up at the same time. Their wings covered the sky in one piece, blocking even the last faint light source.

Night fell.

The scene in front of him was too weird, completely beyond Ai Wen's comprehension, and he couldn't help taking two steps back. The torch in his hand seemed to be affected by his fluctuating mood, and flickered a few times.

at the same time.

Whoosh—

A gust of cold, damp and strangely scented wind passed through the treetops and gathered from all directions.

"Quack, quack, quack"

Aiwen turned his head suddenly, but stepped back two steps in an instant.

Even unable to control the strength under his feet, he stepped on several deep footprints in the mud.

Because, on the tree close at hand behind Ivan, a "monster" was squatting quietly on the treetop.

It has an abstract deformed human face, withered yellow skin wrinkled, a protruding nose like a bird's beak, and gray eyes with bloody eyes shining with cruelty and indifference!

The hands and feet that have almost mutated into claws are covered with black feathers, but there is a delicate wreath around its neck.

Squatting on the tree, it looks like a mutated crow spirit, just looking at it makes people feel strongly uncomfortable.

"quack!"

A red-eyed crow standing on its shoulder tilted its head to look at Ivan in a very humane way, and made two strange quacks, which made people feel even more chilly.

Crow Hag! ! !

Even though Ai Wen first entered the extraordinary world, he had heard of the great reputation of this creature.

In Leon's notes, there is a detailed description of the crow hag. It's just that Ivan is more concerned about what Leon himself experienced at that time, but he didn't record it in detail. It must not be a pleasant experience anyway.

It is different from the demonized creatures that have formed a stable group and the violent creatures formed by the alienation of ordinary animals.

Crow hags are not born monsters, their predecessors are actually witches among humans!

Unlike orthodox wizards who gradually transform from nothing to practice, they are like demonized creatures. They grow slowly with age after birth, and they are born with the ability to awaken certain supernatural powers.

To some extent, they are all natural spellcasters favored by the gods.

but.

But without systematic guidance, learning, and perfect mastery of this talent, they will face a terrifying risk of losing control while growing rapidly.

Like a skyscraper whose foundation is crooked, the stronger it is, the higher the risk of losing control!

until one day.

When they lose control of their magic power or die of resentment, if they are not treated and purified in time, they may mutate together with their crow pets and become such ugly and terrifying monsters-crow hags.

More importantly, their staple food is people!
