In the fog-filled swamp, two figures moved quickly. From time to time, they stopped to observe their surroundings. After confirming their direction, they continued to move forward.
"I passed by here five hours ago, heading northwest.”
Madam Mary looked at the traces in the mud. A light flashed in her hand, and a poisonous snake that was flying over was cut into two pieces and sent flying.
"He's moving quite fast. I don't know when he'll catch up. According to the map that the association bought, there are already king level beasts ahead. I don't know if we can make it in time.”
Daley frowned slightly.
"The power that humans unleash when they risk their lives cannot be ignored.”
Madam Mary seemed to recall something and sighed slightly.
"That's why miracles happen in this world. I hope that a miracle will happen this time.”
" The spear he's carrying was custom-made for him by Mr. Edgar, so he doesn't need too many miracles this time. It'll be fine as long as he can advance to a warrior.”
Hearing this, Daley couldn't help but sigh.
The two of them did not stop talking and continued to move forward quickly.
*************************************************************
In another direction of the swamp, Margaret held Lauder's spear with one hand and danced in the air like a white butterfly. Every time her body fell, the spear would pierce into the ground. Then, Margaret, who was flying with the help of the elastic force, continued to move forward in the air. The reptiles below, who were waiting for her to fall, could only turn their anger to Lauder, who was running behind her.
Lauder didn't care about the enemies that were charging at him from all directions. His whole body was shining with dazzling golden light as he sprinted through the mud that reached his calves. He followed closely behind Margaret, and he kept experiencing the footwork that Miss had taught him and the attack that Miss had turned into an arrow that day.
From a distance, one could see a golden light following behind the flying Fairy Pianpian, and the snakes and insects that were flying towards the golden light from all directions were like fireworks when they touched the golden light, scattering in all directions.
Suddenly, a dark golden light shot out from Lauder's side and wrapped around his leg. Lauder stopped in his tracks, grabbed the golden light, and threw it into the air. Margaret, who was flying in the air, suddenly stopped. She turned around and nocked an arrow. The arrow pierced through the dark golden light and then stopped steadily on the spear that was stabbed into the ground.
Lauder jumped and grabbed the dark golden light before it hit the ground. It was a long snake.
Lauder pulled out the arrow, wiped it clean, and put it away. He threw the dead snake aside and walked to Margaret's feet.
"Miss, we've reached the area where king-tier beasts roam.”
Margaret nodded slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"It's been so long, but there's still no news from Mary. This means that Mr. Gru has also entered the range of the king-tier beasts. Whether or not he can be saved depends on God's will.”
**************************************************************
Mary and Daley stopped and looked at the messy ground in front of them.
The two of them quickly searched the surroundings. After a while, they regrouped at the place where they had separated.
Daley dragged a dead python while Mary took back a few broken eggs.
"There was an intense battle here.”
Daley said.
"This python is king level. There are gunshot wounds on its body, but the fatal injury is that it was killed by a certain raptor that tore through its heart.”
"To be able to injure a king class python means that the person fighting has already reached the warrior class.”
Mary heaved a sigh of relief.
"I found a few broken eggs here. Judging from the traces of the battle, it should be that the person and the python had fought all the way here and accidentally damaged the nest of some kind of raptor. The raptor attacked them in anger, and the person took the opportunity to escape while the python and the raptor were entangled.”
"Yes."
Daley's eyes were looking at a trail that meandered northwest.
" A warrior level person left such obvious traces. He must be either too tired or injured, and there are no raptor corpses nearby..."
Mary nodded with a serious expression. The two of them looked at each other and quickened their pace to chase after the tracks.
***************************************************************
Margaret and Lauder stood on a small hill, looking at the lush magnolias at the highest point.
Unlike other places in the swamp, the fog here was unexpectedly less. The sunlight shone directly on the two of them, making it difficult for them to adapt to the water vapor.
"There doesn't seem to be anyone."
Margaret tested the hardness of the soil under her feet and threw the spear in her hand back to Lauder. Lauder took the spear and handed a few clean arrows to Margaret.
The two of them stepped on the grass and walked under the tree, looking around. The surroundings were quiet, and only the rustling of the leaves in the wind echoed.
"We are here now."
Margaret took out the map and looked at the sun in the sky.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be coming from here, right, Lauder?”
"Yes, Miss."
Lauder looked at the sun and nodded.
"The mud over there seems to be very deep…"
Margaret looked at the swamp and then at her white dress. She bit her lip and lifted the corner of her dress, intending to tie it around her waist. Lauder hurriedly lowered his head and ran towards the swamp.
"Lauder, what happened?"
Margaret, who was tidying up her dress, saw Lauder suddenly stop and listen. She hurriedly put down her dress and asked.
"Miss, there seems to be something approaching.”
Lauder said cautiously.
After a while, the two of them saw a shadow moving in their direction with difficulty. The shadow was covered in mud, and they could vaguely tell that it was a person.
Margaret and Lauder hurriedly ran towards the man.
At the same time, a bird chirped and a huge eagle pounced at the figure.
" Argh!" Margaret shouted. She no longer held back. Her entire body lit up with a dazzling golden light. She drew her bow and shot an arrow. The moment the arrow left the bowstring, the bowstring made of the Beast King's tendon mixed with Mithril silk broke under the impact of the Soul Power.
Gru struggled to move forward, his mind empty. He moved forward almost subconsciously.
The fog in the swamp was tightly surrounding him. It seemed that no matter how he walked, he could not get rid of it.
On the way, he met a Snake King and thought that he would die for sure. He did not expect that at this critical moment, the gods would be merciful and actually let him break through the barrier of a warrior. Then, he let a bird king and the Snake King fight inexplicably. He took the opportunity to shake off the Snake King and continue moving forward.
However, he was also injured and lost his way in the battle. He could only move forward in the swamp by feeling. Thanks to God's blessing, they did not encounter any Beast Kings along the way. However, no matter how they walked, they could not reach the legendary sunny grassland. Could it be that his sincerity was not enough to move the goddess of Magnolia, who lived in seclusion in the swamp? No, this must be the goddess 'test. If he gave up now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Gru, who had been moving forward in a daze, suddenly felt his eyes light up. A grassy field without fog appeared in front of him. At the highest point of the grassy field stood a Magnolia tree.
But why was there no flower on that tree? According to the legend, shouldn't he have seen a divine tree full of golden magnolias?
Maybe I haven't made a wish yet.
Gru, who was thinking about this, heard a bird cry. He looked up and saw a shadow rapidly falling above his head. Then, a dazzling golden light pierced through the sky and ruthlessly passed through the rapidly falling shadow, knocking it to the side.
Following the direction of the golden light, Ge Lu saw a veiled woman whose entire body was flickering with golden light. Her skirt fluttered as she floated towards him. Her grace and spirit were definitely not something that a woman in the mortal world could possess.
"Honorable goddess, I've finally found you. I beg you to save my grandfather's life. I'm willing to use my life and everything I have to beg you to fulfill my request.”
Gru used all his strength to lie on the ground and tell Margaret his wish before falling unconscious.
