Chapter 1188 1170. ‘Natural Disaster’


    “Then do you think I care about other people’s eyes?”


    Lan En tilted his head and asked silently, while Triss laughed and shrugged on the horse.


    ?Her smile always makes Lan En feel elusive, but it is undeniable that the enchantment of the sorceress does make Triss a little more cute.


    The sorceress dismounted and handed her mare to a soldier passing behind her without looking back.


    ??Although the road to the floating port is rugged and difficult, at least it passes by the edge of the Mahakam Mountains, so there is still a way.


    But if you want to go deep into the mountains to see on the ground, there are many more places that humans can travel than horses.


    Triss did not report to others or inform anything.


    ?Her identity as a sorceress was already met with resistance among the Duke of Elland''s team, and few wanted to contact her because everyone knew Siward''s position.


    But she is indeed a magic consultant sent by Foltest, and due to political considerations, she must be treated accordingly.


    So she is actually in an awkward situation in the team now.


    ?? Triss and Lan stood together after dismounting. They stopped and were quickly left behind by the convoy that continued to advance.


    ?Seeing the team getting further and further away, Lan En raised his hand and rubbed the magic ring on it.


    Triss’s brows raised happily because she made the ring.


    And a rustling sound of tree branches and leaves came from the heights of the nearby rocks. A huge, pale-maned feline head, and the Elu cat on the head, looked out from the shrubs growing high up. come out.


    “Hello, meow!”


    ? is Qilin and flannel ball.


    Lan used his claws to lead Triss up and sat on the Qilin''s strong back.


    “Has this horn been trimmed?” Triss, who was sitting in front of Lan En, curiously touched the broken horn of the unicorn. "Such neat knife work."


    Qilin snorted in displeasure, shook his head, and turned to look at Lan En, but the arc did not come out.


    ?Its current broken horn is growing much faster than last time, and today only one-third of the tip is still intact.


    The ability to control thunder has become much more stable as a result.


    "You point me in the direction." Lan En first stuffed a piece of special ration into Qilin''s mouth, and then pulled its mane to turn it around. He said to Triss.


    “Where is the incident area?”


    “Deep in the Mahakam Mountains, we have to go south first.” Triss seemed to have a plan in mind and arranged it skillfully.


    At the same time, her eyes closed, and the foreign feeling of chaotic magic began to spread.


    The necklace on the witcher''s chest began to dance.


    This is her feeling of the magic power of chaos being released.


    ?Lan En nodded, patted Qilin''s neck again, and was ready to set off.


    “We have to go at least thirty kilometers deep into the mountains. Although the abnormal range is spreading, it is still..."


    ?? Triss closed her eyes and added to Lan En the situation she had sensed before.


    But as soon as she finished speaking, the sorceress’s eyes, which had been closed calmly, suddenly opened!


    "Um?!"


    ?The surprised tone and eyes made Lan En feel nervous.


    But his tone is still calm and steady. The more abnormal it is, the more rational it is.


    “Did you sense what happened?”


    .Twenty kilometers.”


    "What?"


    Triss herself blinked her eyes and spoke in a daze.


    “That area expanded ten kilometers toward the Pontal Valley overnight!”


    "." The demon hunter''s face became slightly serious, "Triss, open a shield in front of us first."


    "When Qilin runs, the soft branches and leaves in these mountains will turn into thorny whips at the speed. My [Quen''s Seal] cannot last twenty kilometers."


    "oh oh!"


    ??The sorceress also became completely serious at this time. After a brief spell, there was a magic shield in front of Qilin''s horse.


    ??And Gu Long immediately started running at Lan En''s signal.


    ??The horse with a white background and blue thunder stripes, even if it suppressed its speed enough to carry people, it immediately turned into a lightning in the vast Mahakam Mountains!


    ?? Gu Long''s strong body did not dodge, and no matter whether it was a fragile shrub or a century-old tree blocking the road, it was just a handful of debris in front of Qilin''s head-down collision.


    ?These debris are insignificant to the ancient dragon''s body, but on ordinary people, it is enough to scrape off a layer of skin and flesh.


    ??Then the flying debris hit the magic shield, causing a wave of insignificant ripples.


    In order to overcome the inertia, Velvet Ball clenched its pair of small tiger teeth and put its small paws on Lan En''s shoulders.


    ??The unicorn began to move at high speed in the mountains.


    When traveling in the mountains, moving five kilometers in a straight line in one day is considered outstanding.


    Twenty kilometers away from the outer edge of the mountain range in a straight line, it is indeed considered a "deep mountain" range.


    But the distance that expanded by ten kilometers overnight could not be considered a ‘safe buffer’ at all.


    "This expansion speed is not normal?" Kirin''s running ability does not have to worry. Lan En asked at Trise while instructions, "Or did it expand like this before?" "How is it possible?" Triss stretched her hand forward to maintain the protective shield of chaos magic. At the same time, there was still unquenchable surprise in his tone.


    “If it expands ten kilometers overnight, then from the time this anomaly was discovered, it would be time to cross the Pontal Valley and enter the Kestrel Mountains!”


    In other words, the expansion speed suddenly increased, or the expansion direction changed?


    ?Lann''s brain was running rapidly, and Mentos helped organize his thoughts.


    At once two possibilities came to mind.


    I don’t know which one it is, but I can’t escape the question: it must have been affected by something.


    Otherwise, a person who has a convulsion suddenly becomes like this?


    “The direction has been generally determined.”


    Lan En said calmly.


    ?After Triss adjusted the direction and pointed the way several times, Mentos, who had obtained enough data, had established a persistent coordinate position in Lan''s mind.


    Now he can guide Qilin to the target.


    “I have other things I need you for now, Triss.”


    “Spreading out the concentrated perception, I don’t need to focus on one place as a guide. I now want to know the general area that this thing passes through.”


    "I can''t do it!" Triss said with difficulty with her eyes closed, "The chaos magic in the Mahakam Mountains is now a mess!"


    “Just roughly, I just want an outline.”


    ? Lan En''s calm tone made Triss, who was a little flustered, also be affected. She took a deep breath and nodded.


    She has been here for many days. She was already aware of the spread of the abnormal area, so she could relax beforehand.


    Because according to her prediction, it will take some time for this thing to cover the Pontal Valley.


    But when I opened my eyes again today, I was almost touching the edge of the Pontal Valley!


    ?Amidst the whistling wind caused by the speed of the unicorn, the biochemical brain in Lan En''s brain was running at high speed.


    ? ? The newly completed blood reconstruction has filled the blood throughout his body with huge amounts of nutrients. While supplying the super organs throughout his body, Mentos also feels that the blood supply to his brain is as good as a fish in water.


    “Sir, based on the roughness of the trajectory map that Miss Tris may provide, and our on-the-spot investigation, I am confident that we can complete the trajectory calculation within half an hour to an hour.”


    ??Biochemical Intelligent Brain''s mission report made the demon hunter nod slightly.


    “Leave it to you, Mentos.”


    “Duty lies, sir.”


    After some exchanges, the first location sensed by Triss was already in front of her at the speed of Qilin.


    Lan En quickly dismounted from his horse, and the flannel ball jumped onto his shoulders, used it as a step to slow down, and then landed nimbly on the ground.


    "Triss, you are outside. If you are within range, the more chaotic chaos magic will make it more difficult for you to sense the trajectory."


    ?Lann stretched out his hand to help the sorceress down, then turned to Qilin and nodded.


    ?They have been getting along for a long time, and often they can understand what the other person means even without using the variant [Yaxsi Sign].


    ?This noble horse nodded towards Lan En.


    With this ancient dragon here, even if the ancient dragon does not release the coercion, the strong electrostatic field released unconsciously is enough to keep many poisonous insects and sensitive creatures away under the pressure.


    etc


    Coercion, far away from expulsion. No living creatures


    A series of associations flashed through Lan En''s mind, causing him to frown slightly and formulate new speculations about this matter.


    But because there was still too little information, he kept this speculation in his heart for the time being.


    ??The witcher lowered his head and nodded at his Ellu cat companion, and the flannel ball gave an imposing "meow".


    ?Then followed closely behind Lan En and walked into the dense forest in the mountains.


    The rocks on the ground are mixed with soil and tree roots, which is bad and uneven.


    ? Just walking normally on it requires several times the usual concentration to keep your feet from spraining and stand firm.


    This is one of the reasons why hiking can make you feel tired.


    Fortunately, Lan En and Feng Buqiu are both accomplished masters in practicing [Light Body Breathing Technique], and the simple terrain rarely stumps them.


    The kitten jumped and followed Lan''s long stride.


    Logically speaking, the dense forests in the mountains should be so dense that they never see the light of day.


    Especially now that spring is approaching summer, not autumn or winter when leaves fall.


    But when Lan En and Velvet Ball walked deeper for less than five minutes, a ray of sunlight shone through the leaves and fell on the faces of Lan En and the kitten.


    They both looked at each other, their expressions serious.


    Sure enough, we just walked a dozen steps further.


    "This is.?"


    ??The flannel ball trotted forward a few steps on all fours and spoke with his mouth open.


    In front of us, a large area of ??dense forest that should have stretched far away along the mountain has now become a pile of waste wood!


    ?These tough and long-lived trees were easily broken, and some of the wood was even so good and tough that it could be seen that it broke after being bent to the extreme.


    The roots of the tree are still in place, but the thick trunk has jumped fifty meters away! Then another tree was crushed.


    ?Such a large forest, with the resilience and ability to consolidate water and soil, should be able to stop even small-scale landslides.


    ??But now this huge and ancient forest is like a naughty kid sweeping across an area with a wooden stick and breaking the reeds in the ground.


    ?This doesn’t seem like deliberate ‘sabotage’ at all, more like.


    “Natural disaster.”


    Lan En glanced around the flannel ball, frowned and uttered the word.
