Volume 4: The Cataclysm Chapter 89: Libra of Truth

Marvin saw it clearly. Along with Fenno's flowing sword energy, a large amount of blood suddenly splashed on the snow!

More than twenty ice worms were cut in half by Finno's sword.

However, things were not optimistic. The snow ahead kept bulging, and ice worms that looked very similar to centipedes but were extremely lethal rushed out one after another.

"This is an ice worm's nest! Damn it, when did an ice worm's nest appear in Torch Valley!"

The legendary wizard looked very ugly.

In the Blood Wasteland, ice worms are a relatively common creature. However, ice worm nests are not so easy to encounter. If a single or a group of ice worms are just some insignificant monsters, then with the presence of a nest, the difficulty of the challenge will increase dramatically as a whole!

Like the Immortal Snow Soul, this is a social creature. Its individual combat power is weak, but when living in groups, especially with the aura bonus of the nest, they all have legendary templates!

From another perspective, killing them is very laborious, but the benefits are very small.

The ice worm's unique icy breath is comparable to that of a white dragon, and the damage it causes to weapons and armor is almost fatal.

Every legendary warrior cherishes his weapon very much. When dealing with creatures like ice worms, it is easy to cause damage to one's own weapons, which is not worth the loss.

But there is no way now, they have triggered the anger of the ice worms, and thousands of ice worms poured out from that huge nest!

Marvin pulled his horse, raised his staff high, and muttered something in a pretentious manner.

The next second, the emerald green light illuminated the entire snowfield!

【Natural communication】!

The vast force of nature filled the entire snowfield, and the movements of a large number of ice worms suddenly came to a standstill.

"return!"

Finno grabbed his partner who was about to fight the ice worms. As the captain, his vision and judgment were first-rate. He certainly knew the spell of natural communication. Although he was skeptical about whether natural communication could affect the emotions of the ice worms, at this moment, going up to kill the ice worms would undoubtedly be more of a hindrance than a help.

Because now, Marvin is trying to communicate with these ice worms!

This is the power of Druid.

They worship life and nature, and have awe in their hearts, so they can communicate with all things.

It is said that a skilled druid can even chat for half a day with a stone about history, such as the vicissitudes of life.

As a fake druid, Marvin certainly couldn't do all this, but the Staff of Grey Eagle was indeed a rare object. It gave Marvin the identity of half a druid, so Marvin would naturally make good use of it.

Ice worms are not unintelligent creatures. They attack adventurers for no reason, so there must be a reason behind it.

Marvin wanted to find out the reason behind it.

Under the pale green light, the movements of the pests gradually slowed down.

However, Marvin's brows were tightly furrowed.

Because in his consciousness, there was only chirping.

The intelligence of these ice worms seems to be very low, and their intentions are very simple, which is to attack any creature that tries to approach their nests.

Marvin tried to communicate with them using his mind, but after a long time, he didn't get any good results.

Another five minutes passed, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, the ice worms gradually calmed down.

They slowly retreated and disappeared from everyone's sight, as if they had never appeared.

But the bloodstains on the snow clearly indicated that a fierce battle might have just broken out.

"As expected of an Archdruid."

Finno looked at Marvin in surprise: "You can actually calm these ice worms."

Finno's surprise was not without reason. Although the Archdruid had a strong ability to communicate, it was difficult to communicate with low-intelligence creatures like ice worms, not to mention persuading them to leave without bloodshed like Marvin did.

The other people also looked at Marvin in a slightly different way.

Because Marvin's aura is relatively restrained, he looks more mysterious.

However, the strength he had shown along the way was very average, so no one took him seriously.

But the next second, Marvin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I failed to persuade them to leave."

The legendary wizard was stunned for a moment: "Then why did they leave?"

Marvin frowned and said, "I just gave them a promise."

"What promise?" the other party pressed on.

Her tone was already somewhat dissatisfied. As a member of a tour group, Marvin actually made a promise on behalf of his own team without authorization. This behavior had already crossed her bottom line.

Marvin spread his hands and said, "I told them that we will not pass through Torch Valley."

"What! How dare you make such a decision without permission!?"

Theocrat Nolan screamed, "You don't want to go through Torch Valley? Do you want to climb the snowy mountains?"

Marvin frowned again, but did not speak.

Finno's face was gloomy, while the big man holding the giant axe looked indifferent.

The legendary wizard sneered and said, "Tell me why you do this. Or are some pitiful ice worms enough to make you detour? Great Druid?"

Her tone was sarcastic , and there was even a hint of charm in her voice.

The effect of this spell is to incite the target creature to rage.

Although Marvin was not angry, he sensed it.

She was being provocative.

"This woman is really used to being high and mighty."

Marvin sneered in his heart, but was too lazy to argue with her. Instead, he turned his gaze to the holy warrior.

"Mr. Griffin, they didn't see it, but you should have seen it, right?"

The holy warrior, who was originally ignored by everyone, nodded silently.

He took a step forward, and the ring in his hand suddenly burst into a silver light.

In the light, the faint outline of a Libra appeared!

【Libra of Truth】!

Ma Wen was shocked!

Although he had long guessed that this holy warrior was unfathomable, he did not expect that he had already cultivated to the point where he could summon the phantom of the Libra of Truth.

The God of Truth has fallen. The Libra of Truth represents the highest laws and authority in this field.

Under the shadow of the Libra of Truth, the underground area several miles ahead leading to Torch Valley became completely transparent.

The snow seemed to disappear, replaced by clear patterns.

In an instant, everyone took a breath of cold air!

Because just a few miles , there were more than twenty ice worm nests!

One ice worm nest is enough to make them exhausted. Once the nearby ice worms are angered, these monsters will come out in droves... the consequences will be unimaginable!

The divine magician Nolan's expression turned extremely ugly.

The same is true for Captain Finno.

The legendary wizard was speechless for a long time.

In the awkward silence, it was Marvin who broke the peace.

He cleared his throat and looked at everyone. "If we force our way into Torch Valley, these ice worms will tear us to pieces. I don't know how strong you are, but neither your armor nor your skills are strong enough to ignore the ice breath of the ice worms, right? If these ice worms spit collectively, we will be turned into ice sculptures."

"Obviously, this is a dead end."

He pointed to the towering snow-capped mountains and said, "If you want to go to Holy Light City, you really have to climb the snow-capped mountains."

The rest of the people were silent.

Only the Paladin Griffin nodded at Marvin.

After a long while, Captain Finno said with a twinkling look in his eyes: "I'm sorry, we can't go on."

"The last time we encountered Xue Po, we were climbing the snowy mountain. If we hadn't retreated quickly, we would have been buried on the snowy mountain. We will never take this road again."

"Besides, these ice worm nests have already explained a lot - someone doesn't want anyone to cross this snowy mountain. He or they want to block the traffic between Black Swan Hill and Holy Light City, and those who can attract so many ice worm nests at once are definitely not people we can afford to offend. Even if we climb the mountain, we're afraid we'll encounter blizzards or something like that."

“We’re not going to move on.”

His expression looked a little regretful.

Marvin frowned and gave him a look.

The rest of the team also looked a little unnatural.

Marvin didn't say much at the moment. He simply bid farewell to the team and set out on the long uphill journey with the Paladin Griffin.

Five minutes later, when Marvin and Griffin's shadows disappeared over the mountain.

"Are we really not going to move on?" The big man holding the axe scratched his head: "Captain, didn't you say before that we must go to Holy Light City this time?"

"Yes, of course I will."

Finno's expression suddenly turned gloomy: "We follow them."

"These two people are not simple characters. They are likely to force out the mastermind behind the scenes. We can follow behind and reap the benefits."

"Go! Follow me."

On the vast snowy ground, the team set out again, following the steps of Marvin and the other man, slowly climbing the mountain.

…

On the other side of the snow-capped mountains, in the lonely and dark ruins.

A wizard was looking up at the statue in fascination.

"Luna... I'm coming..."

"After all these years, I finally found you."

"This time, I won't let anyone take you away!"

Two balls of green flames suddenly lit up under the wizard's hat.

The statue in front of him was ancient and weathered, but it still contained a sense of vitality.

She was a girl with a graceful figure.

She was kneeling on the ground, as if she was undergoing some kind of punishment. Her expression was painful and it was heartbreaking to watch.
