Chapter 1583: Ambush at the Gate of Dawn
The wood in the fire crackled pleasantly, and sparks flew out from time to time.
Su Xiao, Amu, Bubtney, and Melody were sitting around the campfire.
The witch-hunting method of these old men was very sophisticated. This battle was very short. Blood bear killed a rank two witch with his bare hands. Other witch hunters wouldn't have been able to pull this off even if all the hunters were stronger than ordinary people in one way or another.
— And who is she? Su Xiao asked as he looked at the witch tied up by the fire. There was no point in taking her alive. Besides, it was unlikely that a witch like her would know anything about the castle or the altar.
— That's Gunther's habit. Besides, we haven't had a witch hunt in a few years, and we don't know what happened here in that time." Witches understood witches better than most. Although it was risky to take this black witch with them, they needed to know about the changes that had taken place in the south.
— Our plan remains unchanged. After the gate, we'll split up.
— Clear.
Su Xiao only had one thing on his mind right now, and that was the exact location of the Land of Death. According to Carmen's description, the Misty Castle was built halfway to the top of a high mountain. As for the location of the Land of Death, nothing was known about it either.
While he was thinking about this, a roar suddenly reached them from somewhere far away, followed by a blazing fire half a kilometer away.
When Su Xiao saw it, he put out the fire and for a moment even wanted to know what was going on there, but they were currently in the south, in the witches ' territory, so they should avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible.
As soon as the bonfire was extinguished, they jumped into their carriages and quickly began to drive away.
Melody was a little confused. Before she knew it, Su Xiao had already thrown her into the carriage, and Amu had just turned over a piece of earth so that there wasn't a trace of the fire left.
In less than half a minute, the carriages were already gone. As for that flame, it had nothing to do with this group. They didn't come to the south to eliminate some random witches.
— Considering the height of the flames, there's at least a rank four witch in there, " Carmen muttered as he sat on the roof of the carriage.
The two carriages quickly disappeared into the night.
The south was known as the "Witches ' Territory", so there were witches everywhere.
At noon the next day, they encountered a second group of witches.
Su Xiao wasn't going to take any action against them, as this was just a casual encounter.
When these witches saw the two carriages, they stopped for a moment.
The lead witch was obviously a little surprised, and the witch behind her whispered something in her ear.
After seeing the carriages and realizing who they belonged to, the dozen witches continued on their way, only their paths almost crossed.
Su Xiao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. He could get rid of them in a couple of minutes, but that would only cause them more trouble.
When the two groups were several meters away from each other, the lips of the leading rank three witch lifted.
— And why did you decide to die? Carmen asked, looking at her sideways.
The witch incarnation quickly materialized...
A minute later, the group of witches was annihilated, and the carriages continued to move on calmly.
If they hadn't decided to engage in battle themselves, nothing like this would have happened.
----
Three days later.
The Doken pulling the carriages roared.
The metal wheels were buried deep in the mud.
Su Xiao jumped out of the carriage. Judging from the surroundings, they had entered the swamp that Carmen had mentioned. They met many witches along the way, but not all of the black witches were hostile to the hunters. Most of them, upon seeing the two carriages, immediately turned around and walked away.
The group itself never took the initiative and did not get involved first in the battle.
Su Xiao untied the three doken from the carriage, causing them to look at him in confusion.
— Woof — " Bubtney suddenly barked, and the three of them immediately looked at him. - Woof, woof-woof...
The three doken immediately rushed back to the central plains.
They didn't need to pull the carriage anymore.
— Hey ... hmm~ ... Carmen suddenly fell silent as he couldn't find the right address for Bubtney. Addressing him as "Hey dog" was obviously impolite, since he was quite intelligent.
— Bubtny, tell that to these docken people, too.
Bubtney immediately happily approached the three remaining doken.
As a result, they did not want to leave for a long time, as they apparently managed to develop fraternal relations with Bubtni.
Bubtney raised his head and looked at the sun, and his eyes at that moment clearly wanted to say: "This is life, it is always full of joys and sorrows».
— Woof! " with a loud bark, he took a few steps and splashed into the bog.
He had been staring at the sun for too long, so he couldn't see anything right now.
Amu grabbed Bubtny by the hind legs and pulled him out.
In this swamp, there were patches of land with and without grass everywhere. Next to the grass, it was easiest to see puddles of water of various shapes. Often they were connected to each other, and some of them were deep, and some were not.
This swamp was very dangerous.
Such a swamp wouldn't consume a person slowly. It is more likely to consume an inexperienced traveler in an instant. Mud was different from water. No matter how well a person swam in the water, they couldn't swim in the thick mud.
The group eventually lined up in a row. The drunkard at the front of the group had a rope tied around his waist. If he was dragged into the quagmire, the Blood Bear behind him would immediately pull him out.
For ordinary people, this swamp was practically impassable, but for this group, it was only an unpleasant obstacle.
The group started moving through the swamp at a fairly fast pace.
Towards the next morning, a dry patch of land appeared in front of them.
They were almost out of the swamp.
When they left the swamp, they came to a cliff. Seeing him, Carmen breathed a sigh of relief.
They arrived at the Gate of Dawn.
The so-called "Gate of Dawn" was actually a narrow strip between the mountains. Due to the fact that the entrance to this strip looked like a huge arch, hence the name of this place-the Gate of Dawn.
Standing in front of the gate, Su Xiao frowned. He couldn't understand why Carmen would choose such a dangerous place.
As if noticing Su Xiao's confusion, Carmen smiled helplessly.
— The territory directly under the jurisdiction of the Moya family is oval in shape. We've tried all sorts of options in the past, and other than this gate, getting there undetected will be very difficult. Let's go. Witches can't stay here all year round.
— Bubtni, " Su Xiao said, and patted Bubtni on the back.
He immediately disappeared and ran into that gate.
After a few minutes, Su Xiao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, " Be prepared to fight your way through.
— Carmen and the others looked at Su Xiao in confusion, but even though they were confused, they all drew their weapons.
— We were discovered?
— If the more than a hundred witches waiting for us at this gate don't indicate that, then no, we haven't been discovered.
— Prophetess...
On the other side of the Dawn Gate, Bubtney squatted down, looked from the group of witches to the girl, and walked over to her.
Suddenly, he stopped concealing his presence.
One can imagine how the little witch waiting in ambush would have reacted to such a sudden appearance.
A large dog face suddenly appeared right in front of her!
The little girl shivered, and her witch hat almost flew off her head.
— A-a-a-a-a-a-h! She shouted loudly, but by this time Bubtney was gone.
Her scream immediately began to echo in all directions.
Dozens of pairs of eyes immediately stared at the girl.
— If I say that a big dog just appeared in front of me, would you believe me?
