Chapter 1204 - The Ridge of the Continent (2/2)

Lightning cast Maggie a glance. She still remembered Maggie’s indignant protest against her “eating a bird” in the beginning.

Lightning shook her head in amusement and asked, “Any luck today? Except for food though.”

“Well, no, coo… the landscapes are quite the same here. If there were demons, I would spot them immediately, coo.”

It would be really hard to spot God’s Stone mines buried deep down underneath the ground from above. Lightning wondered where the supporting God’s Punishment Witches currently were. If they could point out a rough direction for her, it would make her life a lot easier.

She pointed at the cave and said, “Well, since you had no discovery, make me a bed then.”

“OK, coo,” Maggie replied as she paced to the designated location with her long white hair streaming behind her and then turned into a Devilbeast.

Lightning then extinguished the fire and lay down on Maggie’s stomach. Compared to a sleeping bag, Maggie was a better shelter. Her stomach, as warm as a furnace, could shield her from cold winds and keep her warm during the night.

The only drawback of this method was that the skin of the Devilbeast was a little scruffy compared to Lorgar’s soft fur.

“Are you not sleeping?” Maggie asked as she saw Lightning take out the Stone of Lighting.

“I need to make a journal entry to record our journey today. It won’t be long. You sleep first.”

“Alright,” Maggie answered gruffly. After a long silence, she suddenly mumbled, “You’re going to take me with you for the future exploration, right?”

Momentarily stunned, Lightning said in a gentle voice, “Yes, of course.”

“I’ll take care of you since Ashes is already gone,” said Lightning within herself.

Maggie finally fell asleep after receiving an affirmative answer.

Lightning sat there for a long time before she took out her journal out of her bag.

It had been ten days since they had entered the mountainous area in the north of the Kingdom of Everwinter. They had covered a distance of 120 kilometers. The deeper they probed into the Impassable Mountain Range, the smaller she felt. This was an area never intruded by human beings, and it was in here she had seen a breathtaking view. The forest of stones as vast as the Fertile Plains, the icefall, which was a sheer drop from Heaven to the ocean in the northeast, the sea of clouds that spiraled up, as well as the great rapture in the center of the ridge of the continent… Lightning now came to the realization that the Impassable Mountain Range that separated the four kingdoms was simply a branch of this mountain range. Those incredible scenes, all hidden behind the crests of the mountains, were inaccessible unless she flew over the steep cliffs.

Lightning now understood why her father was addicted to exploration.

Human beings were too little and insignificant compared to this world. She could only become stronger by getting to know more about it.

To become an explorer was the best decision she had ever made in her life.

Of course, she could explore the whole world later. Lightning knew she was now on a mission. If she flew too far away from the Kingdom of Everwinter, she would not only hinder the exploration but also cause unnecessary trouble to the supporting team. The “Roland” should have now almost reached the port of the Kingdom of Everwinter.

Lightning cast a glance at her hand drawn map and rested her eyes on the great rapture.

It seemed to be a protruding plain in the middle of the stone forest, but it was hollow inside, so Lightning was not sure how deep it was.

She could discern the fault underneath the crust.

If she still could not find traces of God’s Stone mines or the demons, she would probably return to the Kingdom of Everwinter and meet with the supporting team to discuss the next step.
