The woman in black had a black veil over her face. She slowly lifted her left hand that was surrounded by dark energy and laughed coldly.
"Are you the woman that the middle-aged man was talking about?" Avina asked.
"You guys know too much." The woman in black said expressionlessly.
"But that old man saved your life." Avina continued.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let me bring you back to the Queen to quench her thirst."
After saying that, a pair of black wings grew out from the back of the woman in black. She wrapped the defenseless Avina into her embrace and turned into a black whirlwind and disappeared into the horizon.
"Avina!" I shouted but it was too late.
I felt the world turn dark. I did not protect Avina well. I really did not know what to do now. At this moment, Lorita walked over. She did not say a word of consolation and was still as calm as ever.
"Let's go and ask that old man. He might know something about the situation." Lorita said calmly.
The three of us came in front of the old man. After patting the snow off his body, I was surprised to find that the old man was not affected by the cold at all.
"I have something to ask you, sir." Lorita asked.
The old man ignored us and Hansen seemed to be impatient.
"Let's go and find Avina ourselves." I said anxiously.
"What is the name of the young lady? Where does she live? You must know. If you don't tell us, we will definitely kill her when we find her. "Lorita's tone was as aggressive as the cold wind.
"Leah is not a bad child. She was just bewitched by someone. Please do not kill her." The old man suddenly pleaded.
Just like that, the old man told us the location of the woman in black's lair. Lorita promised the old man that she would not kill Leah. The old man shed tears of gratitude. We bade farewell to the old man and followed his directions to find Avina.
With my instinct as a mercenary, I felt that she had already brought Avina into the forest.
Thus, we quickened our pace and entered the forest. It snows all year round in the Northland and the snow in the forest does not melt. The three of us ran all the way and none of us fell behind.
At the same time, in a cave at the end of the forest.
"Looks like those tails are here too. Go and get rid of them," the woman in black said to the ghouls beside her with a smile. Her laughter was thirty percent charming and seventy percent vicious.
The three of us stepped on the snow and finally found the woman in black's lair.
After calming ourselves down, Hansen took the lead and entered the cave. Lorita was in charge of bringing up the rear. After we entered the cave, we found that it wasn't as narrow as we had imagined.
"It's so dark here. Only a vampire would like a place like this," Hansen said.
Soon, we came to a wide cave. This cave could accommodate one or two hundred people. Moreover, there was a faint light that shone in, enough for them to see the situation inside the cave.
Suddenly, a few huge ghouls rushed out of the cave and almost collided with Hansen. Then, the Ghouls madly charged at us, wanting to tear us to pieces.
Hansen shouted as he brandished his two-handed sword and rushed forward. With a heavy slash, a ghoul was cut in half.
Another ghoul wanted to attack Hansen, but I blocked its attack with my Sword of Retribution. However, the ghoul's claws brushed past my shoulder and fresh blood flowed down.
At this moment, Lorita, who was hiding in the dark, shot another ghoul with her crossbow and killed it in one shot.
"You guys still followed us," a woman's voice sounded from not far away.
"Cut the crap. Hand over Avina," I said agitatedly.
Leah used her actions to tell me that the only way to save Avina was to defeat Leah.
At this moment, another large group of ghouls rushed at us from the cave. Facing so many ghouls, the three of us gradually felt powerless.
Facing both Leah and the ghouls at the same time was like hitting a rock with an egg. At this moment, Leah was still attacking me with her dark magic. If I hadn't dodged in time, I would have turned into a pool of blood.
"Alright, I won't play with you guys anymore. It's time for the Queen's sacrifice." After saying that, Leah, who was still attacking me, suddenly spread her wings and flew into the depths of the cave.
Then, I saw Leah carrying the unconscious Avina and flying out of the crack at the top of the cave. I watched helplessly as Leah took Avina away, but I couldn't do anything about it. My heart was filled with anger.
However, we didn't have time to think about it. Because these ghouls didn't leave, if we weren't careful, we would become their dinner.
Facing these sinister monsters, I didn't have the slightest bit of fear. Instead, the determination to win was written all over my face. Lorita was constantly changing her position. Her offensive prowess was extremely high but her defensive prowess was much weaker. I saw that Hansen was also reaching his limit. He kept roaring and swinging his two-handed sword at the ghouls.
"I will make you all pay!" Because I lost Avina, I couldn't control myself anymore.
My body started to burn again, just like the previous few times. My body started to lose control, and I started to speak in an incomprehensible language.
That's right, it was Draconic.
"Dragon's Breath." Scorching flames shot out from my mouth, as if they came from Yan Long's body that had been burning for thousands of years.
In an instant, the temperature in the cave rose sharply. The ghouls that were surrounding us were burned to ashes by the flames in my mouth.
This was the power of Draconic Magic. Although my Dragon Soul Power wasn't strong enough, so the power of Draconic Magic was greatly reduced, it was still more than enough to deal with these ghouls.
Lorita's usually calm face suddenly showed a ripple of emotion, but she quickly regained her composure. Hansen opened his mouth wide and looked at me in disbelief, as if I was even scarier than the ghouls. However, it wasn't a problem for him to think that way. I was indeed scarier than the ghouls.
"Not good, let's leave this place." Lorita immediately felt a sense of danger.
The cave wasn't very stable to begin with, and after the high temperature, it became even more unstable. There was a possibility that it could collapse at any time.
The three of us immediately went back the way we came. Along the way, the cone-shaped rocks at the top of the cave kept falling down.
Just as we were about to escape from this scary cave, something unexpected happened.
At the mouth of the cave, thousands of dark-red bats suddenly flew in and attacked the three of us.
"It's the Blood Bats. Looks like we have to die here." Hansen's eyes revealed a tinge of despair.
After the battle, all three of us were exhausted. Retreating, the cave had already collapsed.
In front of us was a multiple-choice question with no options.
