Danny wore a silver armor and a blue robe. A pair of angelic wings flapped gently behind her back.
Just like the Zombie Ghosts, she walked slowly on the snow without sinking into the snow pit.
The wind howled angrily, bringing with it tiny bits of ice and snow. It blew past her armor and hair.
"A bunch of trash unworthy of my sword!" Her voice was a little muffled by the howling northern wind.
But the next scene was clear for everyone to see.
The Black Dragon stepped on the trunk of a pine tree and leaped into the sky. At the same time, a golden red fireball the size of a pineapple shot out from his mouth and floated in front of Dragon Queen.
Blood-colored fire snakes as thick as chopsticks shot out from the fireball. It was as if the fireball was made of fire snakes.
"Tsk tsk tsk — Boom boom boom!"
One fire snake after another landed on the ghouls' faces and chests. It was as if the ghouls had been set ablaze with oil. The running ghouls burned like torches, and white steam rose from the snowy ground.
However, the place where the Black Dragon landed was like the epicenter of an earthquake. Rings of tremors spread outwards, awakening the Zombie Ghosts sleeping in the snow.
They were like razor clams that had been sprinkled with a layer of salt on the beach at low tide. They popped their heads out.
The razor clams had only popped their heads out, but the appearance of the Zombie Ghosts was just the beginning. They were like dogs that had smelled fresh dung. They swarmed over.
The rangers at the entrance of the cave were prepared to witness the Dragon Queen's massacre. But she suddenly turned around. She held the fireball in her left hand and flapped her wings lightly. Her legs moved quickly. There were only shallow traces of snow under her feet. She was astonishingly fast. She passed by them in a few steps and entered the crack in the stone wall.
The rangers were dumbfounded. They did not know what to do.
"There's a magic barrier here that can stop evil spirits. Come over quickly," the Dragon Queen shouted at her knights.
Who knew if there were any deviant ghosts hiding in the snow? The thick snow might be able to stop ice swords and javelins, but what if there was a deviant ghost under their feet? If a sword were to stab upwards, then …
It would be safer to enter the crack protected by the magic barrier as soon as possible.
The few knights were only four to five meters away from the hole. With Dragon Queen's long-range "Fire Snake Spell" to help clear the monsters, they quickly struggled out of the snow pit and crawled to the Dragon Queen's side. One in front, one behind, one on the left, one on the right. The Centaur Rakarlo stood guard with his bow in hand, protecting her in the center.
"I didn't expect the deviant ghosts to be real," Garth said with a pale face.
"Do you think I would lie?" Danny glanced at him and said indifferently.
At this moment, the angelic wings on her back had already faded and disappeared.
"Of course we believe your words, but hearing about it is false. It's completely different from seeing it with our own eyes." Big Bear made a fair statement.
"But the dead aren't as scary as the living. They don't have any weapons or armor, so they'll still die if they're cut by a blade. Just now, the dead man who dragged Beworth's feet only suffered a slash on his shoulder and immediately shattered into several pieces and stopped moving, "Beworth said.
"If you didn't have the steel scimitar, you probably wouldn't say that," Kui Luo said.
"Kalixi, why are the dead gathered at the entrance of the cave but not rushing in?" Rakarlo asked with a trembling voice.
At this moment, the two meters outside the cave was filled with all sorts of corpses. They were like fans at the airport welcoming a superstar. They were dense and dense. In the white snow, the black mass spread out for hundreds of meters.
There were at least two to three thousand corpses.
And this wasn't the end. The hill had four sides. The deviant ghosts that came over were only those from the nearby hillsides. The dead from other places were continuously rushing over.
It was a bit like a zombie siege.
"There's a demon-suppressing spell set up in the hill, exactly the same as the magic array on the Great Wall. It's hard for evil creatures to enter." Danny looked at the ranger standing with the deviant ghosts at the entrance, deep in thought.
At this moment, the ranger had already extinguished his torch. Beside him stood the corpses that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. It was as if they weren't corpses but wooden sculptures.
The ranger turned back and said, "Your Majesty, please enter quickly. When the aura of the living disappears, the corpses will automatically retreat."
"What's the matter with you? Why don't you come in? Why won't the dead eat you? "Da Xiong asked in a low voice.
"He's also a dead man. A night watchman who died a long time ago," a voice said from inside the cave.
It was the voice of a little girl and the tone of an adult. It was high and sweet, carrying an unfamiliar rhythm that Danny had never heard before. It also carried a trace of sadness that struck the bottom of her heart.
"A child?" Kui Luo, who was guarding the queen, exclaimed in surprise.
She did indeed look like a child. She was barely over a meter tall, reaching the waist of a knight. Her limbs were slender, and she wore a cloak woven from leaves. Her bare skin was covered in spots that resembled those of a deer.
She had messy brown, red, and gold hair with purple grapevines, tender green pine branches, and withered red chrysanthemums stuck in her hair.
It was as if someone had knocked over an autumn landscape painter's plate.
At first glance, Danny noticed her eyes. They were large and clear, a mix of gold and green. They were long and narrow like a cat's eyes, like a pair of top-grade gems.
This wasn't human.
"Seven Gods above, the Child of the Forest!" Danny murmured.
"Child of the Forest, squirrel people?" Da Xiong was a little dizzy. Had he stepped into Grandma's legend today?
"The scholar said that the Child of the Forest was fake. It was made up by the ancestors to deceive people." Garth looked at the "little squirrel" in amazement.
"The scholar also said that the Other Ghosts were a strange tribe beyond the Great Wall that knew magic. But look outside. Do you think it's like that?"
Danny complained in annoyance. She stepped forward and said to the squirrel, "I'm Danny Liz Targaryen, your Green Prophet. The previous Green Prophet, Blinden Riverwin, invited me here."
"Yes, I'm here to welcome you on behalf of Lord Blinden," the squirrel said.
"Your Majesty, please wait at the door. I'll scout the way for you," the knights said almost at the same time.
This was expected, Dani brought the five of them here, wasn't it for the safety of the guards?
But at this moment, Danny changed her mind.
"No need. Let's go in together." She stared into the squirrel people's eyes that were as clear as spring water.
She didn't trust Blinden, but she suddenly had a lot of confidence in the squirrel people in front of her. She believed that the squirrel people wouldn't lead her into a trap.
She couldn't tell why, but after seeing the squirrel people, she felt completely relaxed.
The squirrel people seemed to see the doubts in Danny's heart and said, "You have Mother's aura on you."
Suddenly, Dani thought of the Door God.
The Green Prophet was only the priest of the Child of the Forest. The old weirwood was the Mother Goddess they believed in.
But now, she was singing her own song of wind. This …
Danny nodded in understanding and looked at the squirrel people more affectionately.
There were often ministers who betrayed their lords, but there had never been a devout true believer who betrayed the Mother Goddess.
The path inside the stone wall was narrow and curved. There were black mountain rocks on both sides, and white weirwood roots hung down from above. Under the light of the Dragon Flame fireball, they looked like ice-cold white snakes that were circling around the top of the cave.
Danny felt that they were going down. The cave was gloomy and terrifying, but the deeper they went, the warmer it became.
In the quiet cave, there were only the rustling sounds of cloaks rubbing against the stone wall, armor, and iron boots hitting each other. Danny couldn't help but be curious and started talking to the squirrel people.
"What's your name?" she asked.
The squirrel people hesitated and said, "My real name is too long. You can call me 'Leaf'. I've traveled the continent for hundreds of years and have many names. Leaf is the name given to me by the new Three-Eyed Crow. "
"Hundreds of years?" Garth exclaimed.
"I've seen the Black Death God Bellerion and seen the Targaryen Dynasty change generation after generation. Now, I've seen the Dragon Queen's' Big Black 'and the new Targaryen Queen," Leaf said.
"Seven Gods above, you're practically the living history of the Westeros!" the big bear muttered.
The centaur and fat eunuch were also shocked.
Danny cast a glance at her disgraceful subordinates and said calmly, "Sir Mormont, have you forgotten about the Crab King? That guy has lived for tens of thousands of years! "
"Uh …" The big bear's cheek muscles twitched, and he was speechless.
"Your Majesty has seen the Crab King?" This time, it was Leaf's turn to be shocked.
"That bastard dared to steal my steel, so I steamed him," Danny waved her hand carelessly and said calmly.
"But …"
The squirrel people's big eyes, which were as deep as a lake due to the vicissitudes of life, flickered with shock and disbelief.
"But the Crab King controls the Rohn River!" he said.
"That's old history from tens of thousands of years ago. Also, my Big Black is also a Demigod. Didn't you notice?" Danny said.
Leaf was silent.
"What's up with that ranger?" Danny asked again.
"The new Three-Eyed Crow called him 'Cold Hands'. You've seen it on your way here. This place is very far from the Great Wall, and the journey is long and dangerous.
When Lord Blinden came to this shelter, he had a guard with him … "
"Do you know the Blood Crow Duke's Raven Tooth Guard?" Leaf asked.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei had the White Ears Army, Yuan Shao had the Xiandeng Death Soldiers, Cao Cao had the Ferocious Cavalry, Lü Bu had the Formation Breaker, Gongsun Zan had the White Horse Cavalry …
They were special forces that dominated the world for a time. Their loyalty and strength were among the best in the world.
In the world of the Song of Ice and Fire, there was a similar force. The Duke of Blood Crow formed three hundred longbowmen.
The Raven Tooth Guard!
Without mentioning anything else, the Raven Tooth Guard's lowest effective shooting range was more than four hundred meters. (Don't say that I'm bragging. It's Martin's fault.)
Snipers were not much better than that.
During the first Black Fire rebellion, Blinden brought his three hundred Raven Tooth Guards to fight against Daimon Black Fire.
He managed to kill Daimon and his two sons, who were fully equipped with steel armor, from three hundred meters away.
Even now, Danny still did not understand how the Raven Tooth Guards managed to do it.
Could it be that a Soul Imprint shot passed through the gaps in the armor and hit the door?
She could not do it. None of the centaurs under her command could do it either.
She even felt that a sniper would not be able to do it. This was because aside from their steel armor, most knights were also used to carrying iron shields. If one person was shot, the others would definitely raise their shields to protect their heads.
Forget three hundred meters, even knights would be immune to arrows from fifty meters away as long as their armor was of good quality.
Leaf continued, "When the Duke of Blood Crow was exiled to the Great Wall, all the Raven Tooth Guards who survived hundreds of battles took the initiative to put on black clothes.
When Blinden traveled thousands of miles to the last shelter, the last guard captain also followed him.
Unfortunately, the shelter was feared by the Other Ghosts, and countless Ghouls kept watch over it. The last guard captain of the Raven Tooth Guards also died in the hands of the Other Ghosts. "
"How did he recover his humanity?" Danny asked curiously.
"This question is not easy to answer. You can ask the Three-Eyed Crow," Leaf said.
"Then … Is the last shelter referring to this cave? Who is it protecting? "
Danny looked around. She did not realize that they had spent a long time talking. Unknowingly, they had already passed through several forks in the road and arrived at a wide cave.
It was as spacious as a basketball court. The ground was densely covered with weirwood roots of different thicknesses. They were soft, pale, sticky, and slippery, like a group of snakes entrenched at the bottom of a pit.
