The Scarlet Wasteland, the Lost Path.
A group of seven people was moving forward along the rugged mountain path.
The weather here was mild, but they could already see several snow-capped mountains in the distance.
For the members of that team, they were already very familiar with the Lost Path, and they would never go the wrong way.
Just like the Dead Leaf Corridor, as an important transportation channel, the human forces in the Scarlet Wasteland would always eliminate monsters from time to time, so there were not many monsters on the Lost Path. A small number of monsters would not be stupid enough to provoke a team with six legendary abilities.
That's right, among the seven people, four were members of that team. They seemed to have come from the same plane and had been adventuring together for a long time.
As for the other three, apart from Ma Wen, there was a Paladin and a girl who looked very weak.
The profession of Paladin was usually very sensitive in the Scarlet Wasteland.
This was because most of the power of Paladins came from the gods they believed in. Although they also had their own achievements in cultivation, a large part of it required the support of divine spells given by the gods. And the alignment and inclination of the gods were very important in a place like the Scarlet Wasteland, where the forces were chaotic.
Therefore, before inviting this Paladin to join the team, the four original members had already found out about this Paladin.
However, the answer was somewhat shocking.
This was actually a believer of the God of Truth!
Since the fall of the God of Truth, most of the priests, priests, and Paladins under his command could not receive his response. Although before his fall, the God of Truth left the [Eternal Horizon] as a place for his divine fire after the collapse of his divinity, most people still could not believe in the God of Truth.
After all, from the perspective of the gods, the ancient God of Truth had truly died. What they believed in was nothing more than a mechanical rule.
In this era, it was a rare thing that there were still Paladins who believed in the God of Truth.
What was even more strange was that he had actually cultivated to the legendary realm and appeared in the Scarlet Wasteland.
Ma Wen was very interested in him. However, after joining the team, he had been very quiet.
On top of that, the little girl he was carrying on his back was in a state of deep sleep. Her body exuded an evil aura, and even when he was resting, he was cold and silent, looking as if he did not want anyone to get close to him. Marvin could not get any more information.
He only knew from the other members of the team that this little girl seemed to be under a very vicious curse.
This kind of curse could only be removed by the servants of some of the more powerful gods in Holy Light City.
Of course, if the God of Truth was still alive, this Saint Samurai would probably have the ability to remove the curse. However, the God he believed in was already dead. No matter how strong his faith was, the God would not bestow divine spells to save this cursed little girl.
This was perhaps the saddest thing about him.
…
Apart from the Saint Samurai and the little girl, the other four were said to be meeting some old friends in Holy Light City.
As for what they were going to do when they met, he didn't mention much. After all, they were just traveling together.
In a place like the Scarlet Wasteland, because they were all humans, it might be safer for everyone to travel together. However, few people would take the initiative to reveal each other's details.
Even Ma Wen himself just found a random excuse to fool them.
He observed carefully. The four members of this team all had decent combat power. Among them, there were two men and two women. The two men were melee fighters, one of the women was suspected to be a mage, and the other was obviously a legendary wizard.
In the team, the legendary wizard's status was obviously higher than the others.
It could be seen that she was probably the strongest.
As for the others, they were about equal. Their legendary level was no higher than Level-3. Of course, they were still higher than a rookie like Ma Wen who had just entered the realm of legendary.
However, after Ma Wen joined the team, he did not show off his previous profession.
In fact, ever since he got the Grey Eagle Staff, he could change his role flexibly.
He defined himself as a legendary druid.
Right now, he was riding on a horse that was summoned by the Grey Eagle Staff, leisurely following the rest of the team.
He wore a thick cloak and held the Grey Eagle Staff in his hand. If one did not know his background, he might really think that he was a spellcaster.
…
The Path of Disorientation was not long. According to the team leader Fenno's calculations, with their current speed, they would be able to reach the foot of the snow mountain before nightfall.
At that time, they might have to face the real challenge. For now, it was still relatively easy.
The atmosphere in the team was not heavy. Fenno was very eloquent, and he often told harmless jokes. Even the stiff looking Saint Samurai would change his expression when Fenno deliberately adjusted the atmosphere.
It was obvious that the four of them cooperated very well. The two women did not seem to be doing anything, but the legendary wizard's pet, a crow, was flying back and forth near them. The crow's eyes were gray, and it was obvious that it had the ability to see through things.
The divinity cast a detection spell on the ground from time to time to prevent any sudden attacks from the monsters underground.
With two spellcasters working together, the intensity of their reconnaissance was very high. Very few enemies could successfully ambush them.
In the beginning, Ma Wen would occasionally use Sense of the Earth, but he soon realized that his actions were unnecessary.
As expected, it was easier to follow the team.
As time passed, Ma Wen occasionally chatted with Fenno to relieve his boredom.
When the blood-red light in the sky gradually dimmed, they had indeed reached the foot of the snow mountain.
There was a road sign at the intersection in front of them. It was made of enchanted nanmu, and there was a straight arrow on it — [Torch Valley (Direction of Saint Light City)].
"After we leave the road ahead, the protective barrier of the Path of Disorientation will disappear."
Fenno was rarely serious. "Last time, we encountered an avalanche not far from here. Everyone, be careful."
Everyone nodded silently.
Those who were able to survive in the Scarlet Wasteland were no longer greenhorns. They knew when to relax and when to maintain their vigilance at all times.
The team moved forward according to the direction of the road sign.
Sure enough, not long after, Marvin felt a terrifying chill descend upon him.
It was as if they had directly entered the snow mountain from a warm area.
The difference in temperature was so great that the little girl on the back of the paladin was startled.
"Where is this? Uncle Griffin? "
The little girl's voice was very weak, as if every word required all the strength in her body.
"We'll reach our destination soon."
This was the first time that Ma Wen heard the paladin speak. His voice was steady and powerful, with a kind of convincing power.
"Close your eyes. No matter what you hear, don't open them. I'll protect you."
"Okay."
The little girl trusted the paladin very much and obediently closed her eyes.
The others did not pay much attention to the conversation between the two. Their expressions became very serious, and the two melee fighters even grabbed their weapons in their hands.
The exaggerated axe and the slender sword were both very rare weapons. At least the former did not seem to be suitable for the human body, and the latter seemed to be flashy in actual combat. However, the strength of these two human fighters was unquestionable. Ma Wen could feel the strong explosive power in their bodies.
"Maybe they are not pure humans."
Ma Wen observed in silence.
Finnor was holding a sword in his hand. His movements were graceful, and he looked more like a human with elven blood. The other male was a bit more boorish, and his two-handed axe did not match his physique at all. However, he was able to wield the weapon in his hand as if it was light.
The terrain in front of them suddenly changed, and a large amount of snow appeared under the adventurers' feet.
The originally clear path was covered by the snow, and they did not walk very fast.
Somehow, Ma Wen felt that a pair of eyes had been watching them.
This was not surprising.
Before he set off, he was told that the snowstorm here might be controlled by someone. If it was a powerful legendary wizard, it was completely possible for him to do that. And if it was a God's Servant with the support of divine power, it would be even easier.
No matter who it was, there was only one way for Ma Wen to block this place — to break through!
He wanted to find Minsk, so he had to reach Sacred Light City. No one could stop him.
On the surface, he was still holding the Grey Eagle Staff and attentively enchanted his teammates with a few Nature Spells. He looked like a real Druid.
In fact, his left hand was already pressed on the Green Leaf at his waist.
If anything happened, he could immediately turn from an Archdruid into a cold-blooded assassin.
…
However, what surprised Marvin was that this feeling only lasted for a while at the beginning, but it quickly disappeared.
They walked through the snow very smoothly and did not encounter any obstacles.
"Torch Valley is in front of us."
Fenno looked a little happy, and it seemed that he was relieved.
It was said that the four of them had walked this path more than four times, so there should not be any mistake.
Like the Trail of Lost, Torch Valley was also protected by a barrier. However, the barrier of the Trail of Lost came from the Black Swan Mountain, while the barrier of Torch Valley came from Sacred Light City.
As long as they could reach Torch Valley smoothly, they would not be afraid of snowstorms and other situations.
At this time, the Mage Nolan suddenly warned them.
"Be careful, there's something under the snow!"
In an instant, the light of her Detection spell turned from golden to crimson!
The crimson radiance abruptly transformed into a series of patterns.
Everyone could clearly see that under the vast expanse of snow, there were actually holes all over the place!
These holes were nests.
A large number of Ice Worms were crazily surging out of the nests!
"Prepare for battle!"
Fenno roared and slashed the ground with her thin sword. Suddenly, the sky was full of snowflakes, and the sound of sizzling could be heard!
