Chapter 640: Gray Crow's Residence
It is worthy of being the land of extinction that even the powerful ones on the throne are wary of. It is really a headache. The only lucky thing is that the woman has not gone completely crazy and has not chased into the Intestines of Annihilation.
Ivan thought with a smile on his face.
At this moment, he had already gone deep into this strange passage for an unknown distance. There was no clear road in front or behind, so it was difficult to tell the correct direction. He could only go as far as he could.
As a wizard who was used to acting according to strategy, he actually hated this feeling the most.
In this sky full of undercurrents and dark smoke, he walked forward for a distance and heard a slight clicking sound in his ear. It turned out that the lucky compass had completely lost its luster and cracks appeared.
He was not disappointed. This compass he obtained by accident had already performed a great service and he could not ask for too much.
"Antoinette is right. This time we are really gambling with our lives."
Unlike the previous passage, here Ivan could truly feel the deadly crisis coming from all around him. If he was not careful, he would be in danger of dying here.
The reason he is still alive today is mostly due to his extraordinary spatial attainments and extraordinary recovery ability.
If any other ancient king were to come, he would have probably given up long ago.
There was one person who was more comfortable than him, and that was Antoinette, who was protected by him.
Although the body of the Spring Goddess is soft, it is unexpectedly strong and resilient, even more so than that of a legendary star like him. It is unknown whether it is innate.
He discovered this unexpectedly just over ten minutes ago when he encountered a major crisis.
The result is that he himself becomes a mess, while someone else's clothes become tattered and nothing else matters, the main point is that he is tough.
"If there is another turbulence that cannot be stopped, I will use you as a shield."
As soon as Ivan muttered, he felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him. He looked down and saw a certain Spring Goddess glaring at him with anger in her pretty eyes.
"Ahem, when did you wake up?" Their eyes met, and Ivan put her aside in surprise.
"If we don't wake up, we'll really die." Antoinette flashed and lay lightly on his back. "Don't try to be lazy. This god was seriously injured because of your attack."
"Whatever you say, hurry up and tell me what you meant by the first half of your sentence?"
"Literally, the direction you are heading towards is a place where no living creature is allowed to live. It is filled with an unprecedentedly powerful cutting and strangling force. If you rush over rashly, you will surely die, and it will also affect you."
Hearing this, Ivan couldn't help but stop.
The most frustrating thing about this place is that it is obscured by all kinds of foul auras. Only when a crisis is imminent can people realize the clues belatedly and then respond hastily.
"Don't stop, keep going," Antoinette urged.
"Are you sure?" Ivan was puzzled.
"Let's go! I dreamed that there was a glimmer of hope ahead. You wouldn't understand even if I told you. In short, this is the fundamental reason why I forced myself to wake up. You can trust me." Antoinette said seriously.
"Okay, I'll listen to you one more time."
"The little wizard is so good."
Ivan had no better idea and could only follow the advice. As for the other party's teasing, it didn't matter to him and he was too lazy to pay any more attention to it.
Secondly, the other party is indeed older and what he said is not wrong.
"What's wrong again?" He found that his neck was a little cold.
"My intuition tells me that you are thinking about something very rude again." A certain Spring Goddess said coldly.
Ivan was speechless. At this time, this guy was still fussing over such a small matter. The goddess could be quite unreasonable sometimes.
He ignored it and kept flying forward.
Suddenly, Ivan felt goosebumps all over his body. A huge crisis was approaching, and a strong pulling force was spreading to his body, trying to pull him over.
There seems to be a huge abyss ahead that can swallow everything.
Such a terrifying aura made him hesitate.
"In a place like this, are you sure there is hope ahead? Are you sure you are a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?"
"Don't talk nonsense, just go ahead."
"For Mavis' sake, I'll trust you again."
Ivan gritted his teeth, forced himself to give up the resistance, and let the force in front of him pull him over.
At the same time, a soft, holy spell rang in his ears, familiar yet unfamiliar. It was clearly the blessing of the true Goddess of Spring, and the warm divine light enveloped him.
The next moment, he fell into misty darkness.
The whole person seemed to be caught in a whirlpool and had completely lost control of his body. There was only endless pulling and crushing, alternating repeatedly.
Compared to this moment, the previous situation was really child's play.
Fortunately, Antoinette's divine light was indeed strong, and it increased his abilities in all aspects several times, so that he could barely hold on and not be completely torn into pieces or crushed into debris.
The aura behind him was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he couldn't help but worry for the other person.
"give it to you."
Not long after, familiar words were heard, and as expected, a certain Spring Goddess fell into a coma again.
He was suddenly thrown out by a strong force, and the restraining force around him was swept away. However, before he could stand firmly, the Black Soul Tower that protected his body shattered into eighteen pieces with a crisp sound.
Such a good family treasure was destroyed.
"Next time, you will come to the fairy plane only if you believe in evil."
Ivan's face darkened further and further. He collected the fragments with a heartache and ran quickly in another direction.
He still didn't know where he was, but compared to the other side, this place was indeed more peaceful, but it was also full of dangers, and he couldn't identify the direction accurately. It was obvious that he had not yet escaped from the intestines of annihilation.
At this point, he has only one way to go.
Something unexpected happened again. The Prophet's Book in the Soul Sea suddenly moved abnormally. He then sensed a guidance, as if something was attracting him over.
"A glimmer of hope?"
Without giving it much thought, Ivan decisively changed direction and followed the instructions.
After a while, he slammed into a barrier that suddenly appeared, and a new world appeared in front of him, and he immediately landed on solid ground.
This is a gray space.
The space is not large, with mountains, houses, fields, flower gardens and woods. The stones on the ground are also engraved with words from the fairy plane - the Residence of the Gray Crow.
The scenery before me is undoubtedly shocking.
As he looked around warily, his arrival startled a pair of gray crows that were roosting there, and the eagle-like crows became restless.
"Quack quack!"
"Little Gray, Big Gray, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
The door of the wooden house creaked open, and a bright girl in a long floral dress walked out. The girl was stunned halfway through her walk because she noticed someone coming.
Lord?
Ivan noticed the girl at the first moment. Her strength was only at the lord level. How was this possible? If his memory was not distorted, this place would still be inside the Intestine of Annihilation.
In such a place, he, a virtual king wizard, could hardly move an inch, let alone a mere lord.
The two of them stared at each other, neither of them saying a word.
"ah!"
The girl suddenly screamed, which made Ivan more alert. "Antoinette, is that Princess Antoinette on your back?" The girl stared at his back with joy and an expression of disbelief.
Ivan was confused by this.
"you are?"
"We don't know each other, but I know Antoinette, the goddess of spring, and the princess recognized by our clan. It turns out that she is not dead. It's really great."
The girl explained excitedly, and at the end, her eyes were filled with tears.
Ivan remained unmoved and looked around to see if there were other people here, but found nothing.
"Sorry, I lost my temper."
"Sir, it should be you who saved Princess Antoinette. I think she is not fully recovered yet. Can you let me take a look at her? I can heal her and I can also heal you--"
The girl noticed that Antoinette looked unusually pale, and realized that both of them were seriously injured, so she quickly offered to help.
"No need!" The situation was strange, and Ivan didn't dare to act rashly, so he refused immediately. "If it's convenient, please give us a place to rest, and we can treat ourselves."
"Convenient, of course convenient."
Seeing the man in front of her was determined, the girl decided not to force him and prepared to arrange for the two to stay in the wooden house where she lived.
However, before she could make any move, Ivan put Antoinette on the ground and sat beside her. He closed his eyes and tried two things at once: to be on guard against the outside world and to check the situation inside his body.
This made the girl stamp her feet in anger, and she waved her fist at someone out of frustration.
After a while, she could only go about doing other things.
At this time, Ivan opened his eyes again and shook his head helplessly.
It's not his fault for making a fuss. It's just that since he entered the fairy plane, the situation he encountered along the way has been too bad, so he has to be more careful. Who knows what strange things are hidden here.
He also noticed that the thing that attracted him to this place was in the other party's flower bed, so he didn't walk over rashly.
No matter where this place is, we'll have to wait until Antoinette wakes up.
On the first day, the girl brought some things, two cups of sweet spring water, and two portions of fresh fruits. She left them not far away and left.
The next day, the girl brought some sweet potatoes and glared at a wizard angrily for a while.
On the third day, the girl brought two plates of flowers, stood at a distance with a pout, and then went about her own business.
On the sixth day, Antoinette woke up.
"Little wizard, how is it?"
"You're more resistant than I thought."
If someone else had been injured that seriously, they would have been unconscious for several months.
It took Antoinette only six days.
To be honest, Ivan had never seen anyone tougher than Antoinette. His recovery ability, which he was so proud of, was nothing compared to her.
"You want to be beaten, who asked you this?"
Antoinette spotted something on the ground, picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth: "Where did you pick it from? It tastes good, unique, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Ivan stretched out his hand, but before he could stop him, he could only put it down: "Someone gave it to me. Here it is, and it's one of your admirers."
The girl was still wearing the long floral dress. She walked quickly forward, staring at the goddess of spring with burning eyes, her excitement beyond words.
"What are you looking at!"
"Anto——"
"Stop talking nonsense. Bring me whatever food you have. I haven't eaten in years. My stomach must be empty. Don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and go."
"oh oh."
After hearing Antoinette's words, not to mention the complicated emotions the girl was feeling, she obediently turned around and went to get the food.
Seeing the attitude of a certain Spring Goddess, Ivan, who was standing by, felt relieved despite having many doubts. He stopped being polite and picked up the fruit on the ground and started eating.
"It tastes good," he exclaimed.
It's not just good, it's simply the best. After eating it, a wonderful ethereal energy is generated, nourishing every part of the body, but the quantity is a little small.
"Of course." The girl brought out a large bowl of fresh fruits and sweet potatoes and placed it on the other side away from the wizard.
"What's your name?" Ivan didn't care about these details. With a wave of his hand, those seemingly inconspicuous fresh fruits flew over.
"Angelica Miu Miu." The girl curled her lips but still answered.
"I'm talking about the fruit," Ivan said.
"You - are such a rude man." An Qiqi choked, and after thinking for a while, she uttered a soft curse.
This made Ivan think of Mavis.
He glanced at the Goddess of Spring next to him.
"If you have something to say, just let it go."
"fine."
"Tsk! A man who says one thing and means another."
Antoinette sneered and swept the food in the bowl. Her careless look made the girl not far away want to say something but stopped herself several times.
The girl had obviously never seen a certain Spring Goddess like this.
But Antoinette didn't want to pay attention to her.
Ivan looked at him strangely, but because there was a guy who could see through people's minds beside him, he wisely didn't let his imagination run wild.
"How long will it take you to be able to move freely this time?"
"In a hurry to leave?" Antoinette glanced at him sideways.
"You guessed wrong. Something went wrong inside my body. The woman gave me a curse before she died. It's similar to the 'Demon Burning Curse', but it's of a higher level and has a more bizarre effect. It's used to restrict me from leaving this plane."
Ivan shook his head slightly and then explained a few more words.
This curse is really strange. It not only restricts him from leaving the world, but also eliminates the suppression of the plane for him. It should not be a simple curse. This kind of power is very difficult to deal with, just like the "Curse of Demon's Grudge" that he endured at the beginning.
"That's all the bitch has got." Antoinette said disdainfully.
"I can clear it myself, but it will take at least a year."
"You're such a loser."
"Yeah, it's not as good as you being born a god."
"Humph!"
When this identity was mentioned, Antoinette immediately thought of some bad things and glared at a certain wizard fiercely. This guy definitely did it on purpose.
Ivan was helpless. He must have done it unintentionally. It was just that someone was too sensitive.
Since the Gray Crow's residence was safe, he didn't mind staying there for a while, so as to avoid being hunted down if he went out. Given that woman's capacity for revenge, she would kill him immediately if she sensed something.
By then, he won't even be treated like a certain spring goddess.
Thinking of this, another pair of cold eyes glared at him, making him smile awkwardly. (End of this chapter)
