Chapter 181 hands-on
According to Marvin's understanding, although the snake witch is cruel and ruthless and vicious, she still has a fatal flaw.
The curse of the Witch King prevented her from seeing the sun, otherwise her skin would ulcerate. However, she was originally a human living on the surface.
The desire for sunshine is an instinct that every normal creature has.
News shows that the snake witch often leaves the crisis-ridden hut and heads to the patio area, and sees a few rare sunlight from afar.
Even get closer and feel the temperature of the sun.
Perhaps this is also the motivation for her continuous efforts to lift her curse.
For Marvin, this became a breakthrough.
After all, no matter how strong he is, it is very risky to forcibly break into the lair of a legendary wizard who has been operating for at least thousands of years.
As Marvin changed direction, the swamp land became much harder.
A large amount of water vapor and fog slowly disappeared, and the land underneath became more solid, and the deep pool that easily made people die without a burial place as soon as they were trapped in.
Ma Wen groped along the path in his memory and finally found the courtyard area.
The so-called patio is actually a small hole.
Marvin's biological clock is still normal. It is now on the surface of the night, so there is no light in the patio.
The terrain nearby is very complex. Generally speaking, it is a small underground valley with a total of three or five exits. It is connected by a spider-web-like tunnel. The traffic is well-connected.
But even Ma Wen, who has a lot of information in the dark area, doesn't know where the other channels will lead.
The most important thing in the courtyard area is a pile of rocks. What’s strange is that a dry poplar tree grew in the center of the pile of rocks.
This lesson poplar trees look severely malnourished, but there is no tendency to be demonized, it is just a normal tree.
In a terrifying dark area, it is a miracle that such trees can survive.
Marvin knew that this must have something to do with the care of the snake witch.
Of course, if there was no ray of sunshine shining in from the patio, this poplar tree would probably not have survived.
He thought about it and walked all the way through the pile of stones. Finally, he stood under the poplar tree.
Looking up, a not-so-large opening was dark and deep. Even with the addition of dark vision, Ma Wen could not see the surface through this tunnel.
But he could be sure that this little hole was the patio in the guide.
The poplar trees were very dry, so there were almost no branches and leaves. Ma Wen looked around and simply lowered his body and activated the Ranger's professional skills [hide]!
Marvin's ranger level is as high as 10, and his ability to hide is also very powerful.
He has the expertise of the King of the Wild, plus the various specialties bonuses of the Lord of the Dark Night, and it is almost impossible for anyone to discover it when hiding under this poplar tree.
Even if the sunlight penetrates in, Ma Wen will be confident that he will not be discovered by the snake witch.
Although his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, he still maintains the vigilance he deserves to be against every enemy.
Carelessness is often the most fatal flaw of the strong. Marvin never makes this mistake because he cherishes this opportunity to be reborn.
...
Time passes by minute by minute.
Years of lurking have given Marvin excellent patience. He knew that the snake witch did not come to the patio area every day.
If you cannot squat at the snake witch within three days, you must take the initiative to take action.
After all, I made an appointment with Jessica to set off.
When leaving the Rosen Fortress Group, Marvin was almost sure that the legendary team was about to set off soon.
If he falls behind, and wait until the team is destroyed before going to fight against the final ghost mother alone, Ma Wen feels that he has no chance of winning.
Even if he can get the legendary Demon-subduing Sword that specifically restrains the final ghost mother.
He waited quietly, and most of the time and space in the dark area were incredible.
This kind of quietness can even make people crazy. The temptation of the devil appears in the ears of some people with unstable will. These sounds are not auditory hallucinations, but real summons from the devil from the Nine-Level Purgatory.
Because of the plane barrier, it is difficult for the devils to directly reach the Fernan continent by summoning them.
But the dark area is different. It is located at the bottom of the continent. It is very close to the Nine-level Purgatory. It is even said that some depths of the dark area can directly reach some planes in the lower world.
This statement is not completely unreliable. After all, Ma Wen has seen a River Styx flowing in front of him with his own eyes.
The World of the Dead is the lowest plane, and the River Styx flows through this place. It is not surprising that the depths of the dark area can connect to purgatory or abyss.
...
Two days later.
Just when Marvin almost lost his patience to wait, a little turbulence finally appeared in the deadly air.
Ma Wen still kept hiding and leaned quietly behind the poplar tree.
His eyes looked forward and saw a pair of red eyes emerging from the dark tunnel.
"Not a human?" Marvin was a little disappointed.
He was immediately delighted!
Because what appeared in front of him was a lazy poisonous snake!
The snake was red all over, and its body was not very thick, but every time it wriggled, it had a strong sense of power.
It seems that this is a snake-like monster.
However, Marvin reacted.
This is the real deity of the snake witch!
"Yes. Although the snake witch himself cannot bask in the sun, the curse will be temporarily relieved under the treatment of the metamorphosis."
"The reason why this witch was named a snake in Anzedi is because her talent is to transform into a poisonous snake."
"Looking at her appearance, I'm in a good mood today."
Marvin restrained his attack and waited silently for the red poisonous snake to crawl over.
The venomous snake's movements were very elegant. Perhaps it was noon at Fernan, and a little sunlight leaked out of the patio, most of which leaked on the poplar trees.
The poisonous snake's scarlet eyes looked at the sun, revealing a strong desire.
She climbed over quickly, but did not notice that unlike usual, there was a shadow behind the poplar tree.
...
Close.
The distance between the two sides is no more than ten yards!
Ma Wen calmed down and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
It's time to do it!
Snake creatures have strong thermal perception ability. Although their concealment ability is also very powerful, if they get closer, they will be discovered by the other party's instinct.
The previous efforts were in vain.
In an instant, his figure suddenly rose from the shadow!
The poisonous snake was still crawling slowly on the pile of rocks, and he never thought that such a terrible enemy was lurking in the back garden of his home.
In the midst of lightning, Ma Wen's figure fell together like lightning.
Bang!
The black shadow flashed, and the snake's son vomited.
Ma Wen held the crying sky in his hand, and the tip of the spear was inserted into the vital snake's vital points, forcibly nailed it to the pile of rocks!
...
Chapter completed!
