According to Ma Wen's understanding, although the Snake Witch was ruthless and vicious, she still had a rather fatal weakness.
The curse of the Witch King prevented her from seeing the sun, or her skin would fester. However, she was originally a human who lived on the surface.
The desire for sunlight was an instinct that every normal creature had.
According to the information, the Snake Witch often left the dangerous hut and went to the vicinity of the atrium to look at the rare sunlight from afar.
She would even get close to feel the temperature of the sun.
Perhaps this was the motivation for her constant efforts to lift her curse.
For Ma Wen, this was a breakthrough.
After all, no matter how strong he was, it was a very risky thing to break into the nest of a legendary wizard who had been operating for at least a thousand years.
As Ma Wen turned around, the swamp ground became much harder.
A large amount of water vapor and fog slowly disappeared, and the ground under his feet became more solid. The deep pool that could easily kill people if they fell into it was gone.
Ma Wen followed the path in his memory and finally found the atrium.
The so-called atrium was actually a small opening.
Ma Wen's biological clock was still normal. It was now night time on the surface, so there was no light coming from the atrium.
The terrain nearby was very complicated. In general, it was a small underground valley with a total of three to five exits, connected by a spider web of tunnels, and traffic could be considered to be accessible in all directions.
But even Ma Wen, who had a lot of information about the Underdark, did not know where the rest of the passages would lead.
The most important part of the atrium was a pile of rocks, but it was very strange that there was a dry poplar growing in the center of the pile of rocks.
This poplar looked seriously malnourished, but there was no sign of demonization. It was just a normal tree.
In the terrible Underdark, it was a miracle that this kind of tree could survive.
Ma Wen knew that this must have something to do with the care of the Snake Witch.
Of course, if it was not for the ray of sunlight from the atrium, this poplar would probably not have survived.
He thought about it and walked over the pile of stones. Finally, he stood under the poplar tree.
Looking up, there was a small opening that was dark and deep. Even with his night vision, Ma Wen still could not see the surface of the ground through this tunnel.
However, he was certain that this small opening was the patio mentioned in the strategy guide.
The poplar tree was very dry, so there were almost no leaves. Ma Wen looked around and decided to crouch down. He activated the Ranger's professional skill, [Hiding]!
Ma Wen's Ranger Level was 10, and his ability to hide was also very strong.
He had the King of the Wild talent, and with the bonuses of the Dominator of the Night's various talents, it was almost impossible to be discovered if he hid under this poplar tree.
Even if sunlight seeped in, Ma Wen was confident that the Snake Witch would not notice.
Although his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, he still maintained the vigilance he should have against every enemy.
Carelessness was often the most fatal flaw of experts. Ma Wen would never make such a mistake because he cherished this chance to be reborn.
…
Time ticked by.
Years of lurking had made Ma Wen extremely patient. He knew that the Snake Witch would not come to the patio area every day.
If he could not find the Snake Witch within three days, then he had to take the initiative to act.
After all, he and Jessica had agreed on a time to set off.
When leaving the Rosen Fortress group, Ma Wen was almost certain that the Legendary team would set off soon.
If he fell behind and waited for the team to be wiped out, then he would have to face the Hariti alone. Ma Wen felt that he had no chance of winning.
Even if he could get the legendary Exorcist Sword that was said to restrain the Hariti.
He waited quietly. Most of the space-time in the Underdark was unbelievably quiet.
This kind of silence could even drive people crazy, and some people with weak wills could hear the tempting voices of the Devil in their ears. These voices were of course not an illusion, but a real summons from the Nine Hells of Purgatory.
Because of the plane barrier, it was difficult for the summons of the Devils to reach the Fernand Continent.
But the Underdark was different. It was located at the bottom of the continent, very close to the Nine Hells of Purgatory. It was even said that some of the depths of the Underdark could directly reach some planes in the lower world.
This was not completely unbelievable. After all, Ma Wen had seen the River Styx flowing in front of him.
The World of the Dead was the lowest plane. If the River Styx flowed through here, then it was not surprising that the depths of the Underdark were connected to Purgatory or the Abyss.
…
Two days later.
Just as Ma Wen was about to lose his patience, there was finally a ripple in the deathly silent air.
Ma Wen still maintained his hiding position, quietly leaning against the poplar tree.
He looked forward and saw a pair of red eyes in the dark tunnel.
"Not human?" Ma Wen was a little disappointed.
Then he was delighted!
Because what appeared in front of him was a lazy poisonous snake!
This snake's entire body was crimson red. Its body was not very thick, but every time it wriggled, it had a strong sense of power.
From the looks of it, it was a snake-type monster.
But Ma Wen reacted.
This was the true form of the Snake Witch!
"Yes. Although the Snake Witch can't bask in the sun, the curse will be temporarily alleviated by the transformation spell. "
"The reason why this witch is called the Snake in Anze Land is because her natural ability is to transform into a poisonous snake."
"Looking at her, she seems to be in a good mood today."
Ma Wen restrained his desire to attack and silently waited for the crimson snake to crawl over.
The snake's movements were very elegant. Perhaps it was noon in Fernand, but some sunlight leaked out from the courtyard and mostly fell on the poplar tree.
The snake's crimson eyes looked at the sunlight, revealing a strong desire.
She quickly crawled over, but she didn't notice that there was a shadow behind the poplar tree that was different from usual.
…
Close.
The distance between them was less than 10 yards!
Ma Wen held his breath, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.
It was time to act!
Snake type creatures had very strong heat perception. Although his hiding ability was also very good, if he got any closer, he would be discovered by the other party's instinct.
His previous efforts would be in vain.
In an instant, his figure burst out from the shadow!
The snake was still crawling slowly on the pile of rocks. It did not expect such a terrifying enemy to be hiding in its back garden.
In a flash, Ma Wen's figure rose and fell like lightning.
Pa!
A black shadow flashed, and the snake flicked its tongue.
Ma Wen held the Crying Heavens in his hand, and the tip of the spear pierced into the snake's vital point, forcefully nailing it to the pile of rocks!
