A large number of Hybrid Demons were gathered at the bottom of the Stairway to Heaven. Heilig's team did not encounter many Hybrid Demons when they were teleported to the second level, but they did see a lot of Hybrid Demon corpses.
The five of them, led by Faceless, moved toward the Heart of Distortion. In order to save Caldera, they brought their divine bows to search for the human girl named Reina.
It had been more than ten hours since they arrived at the second level. The sky was already dark. The five of them found a small mound and spent the night there.
The Goat Demon cast a spell around the area, causing black thorns to grow all over the place. These black thorns could absorb the light of the fire and merge with the darkness. It was difficult to notice them from the outside.
Busie, on the other hand, had a special sensing spell that allowed her to detect enemies from more than a thousand meters away. Faceless and Eugen were both combatants. Although Heilig did not know what their abilities were, he was sure that they were very strong.
As for Heilig, he was currently in front of a campfire, cooking their dinner for the night.
He was the only one who was not a Guardian Bee. He was the guide and cook of the team. Of course, they did not need to cook. The dry rations they brought were enough to last them for more than two weeks.
However, in the wilderness, being able to eat a mouthful of warm food could greatly relieve fatigue and relax the mind. Heilig added some citrus sage to the soup. This was a unique plant that grew in the grassland. It had the effect of relieving stress.
However …
"Why does this soup have a strange smell?"
Busie raised her eyebrows and said mercilessly.
"It smells like herbs."
Eugen licked his lips.
"It's citrus sage. It's a little poisonous, but as long as you don't use it too much, it's harmless. You don't even know this?"
Shea recognized it. After all, the Goat Demons were experts in using herbs. Not only were they good at using herbs, but they were also good at extracting poisons from plants. Poison magic was their unique magic.
"By the way, Mr. Heilig, how did you meet that human?"
Faceless did not participate in their conversation. Instead, he sat beside Heilig. To be honest, Heilig was a little surprised by the way Faceless addressed him. He rarely heard others call him Mr. Heilig.
"Just call me Heilig."
"Alright, Heilig. I'm very curious about your secret and the talking Hybrid Demon you mentioned."
Because he couldn't see his face, Hailig couldn't tell what he was feeling from his tone, so he could only assume that he really wanted to know.
As soon as the question was asked, the others also shut their mouths and looked over. They seemed to be very curious about this matter.
Hellig scratched his head awkwardly.
"Actually, when I think about it, I also find it unbelievable. The probability of meeting a human here is even lower than picking up a piece of gold …"
"Do you like her?"
Hailig was choked by the words of the Goat Clan's enchantress. He coughed.
"How is that possible? I'm old enough to be her father. Please don't say such things. "
"Hey, I'm just saying."
The interruption made Helig forget what he wanted to say. He shook his head and sighed.
"She's stronger than me. To be honest, if humans are really as evil as we think, I wouldn't have survived until now."
He suddenly began to speak seriously, and the others were listening silently, except for Shia the Enchantress. She would ask some inappropriate questions from time to time, but Hailig just ignored her.
From meeting Reina to teaching her how to hunt, Hailig roughly described what he saw.
When he met the Hybrid Demon, he couldn't continue.
"That's a Shadowless Cat, a Hybrid Demon that we exterminated more than ten years ago. They're the only Hybrid Demons that can talk and have intelligence that other Hybrid Demons don't have. It knows our language and can even communicate with us … "
"That doesn't sound good."
"Can it tell jokes?"
"That's a little scary."
Everyone's reactions were different, and Hailig was also very nervous. He didn't know the Shadowless Cat's intentions, and he didn't know how the Bee Guardians would treat it. However, before that, Hailig was more worried about whether Reina was still alive. Could they find her successfully?
At this time, in a small cave more than forty miles away from the group, a big rabbit with a cat's face opened its mouth and made a purring sound.
The black stone was constantly burning, and its surface was still very black. The fire shone on the cave wall, and the smooth wall was full of strange words.
To be precise, it was some failed magic runes or half-finished products. Some of the runes were still shining with magic, and they were left on the wall like a mural.
The figure of a seated figure changed as the flames danced. Strangely, there seemed to be a circle of water around the figure. Reina sat in front of the campfire, holding a book with both hands. Her whole body was wrapped in a ball of water, and she just sat quietly in the water, reading the book.
Ever since she found that the words she saw in the water didn't jump, she read in this way. She could only be so focused in the water. Thanks to her special magic, she could breathe in the water. Although she didn't know the specific reason, she had never thought about it.
Suddenly, the water surrounding Reina disappeared. The water that was formed by magic wouldn't always exist, and it would eventually turn back into magic.
For the past week, she had been looking for a way to break the curse. Yes, she thought that the compass had cursed her, forcing her to do certain things.
There was a lot of knowledge about curses in the book, and there were also a lot of methods to identify and break curses, but she still couldn't find a way to get rid of the curse.
"Good! This is it! "
She suddenly closed the book. Mr. Rabbit, who was sleeping soundly, twitched his ears and then turned over.
Reina stood up and walked to the cave wall. It was full of runes, so she had to find another place.
Soon, she squatted on the ground and drew a magic circle. Her fingertips emitted a white light, and where her finger drew, it left a glowing path. When she connected the two ends of the line, it formed a circle.
From the cave, she could see the history of magic runes and magic circles. This circle, which looked like a flower petal in the middle, was a kind of primitive magic circle called hybrid magic. Its function was very simple, which was to inject magic into an object.
Reina placed the compass in the middle, and then carefully took a few steps back. She took a deep breath, and with both hands facing the magic circle, she said softly, "Begin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the magic circle suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a large amount of magic gathered in the center of the compass. Reina seemed to see a crack.
Success?!
Before she could be happy for a few seconds, there was a sudden bang. The compass suddenly jumped up and hit the cave wall. Although it bounced back, it accurately hit Mr. Rabbit's head.
"Ah!!"
At this time, there was a painful scream from the cave.
