Chapter 554 Mythical Manor

On both sides of the avenue leading to the castle, there are green vegetable beds on the left, orchards overgrown with flowers and trees on the right, and there seem to be corrals for raising cows and horses in the distance.

In this quiet and peaceful pastoral scenery, the only thing missing is the figure of the residents.

The four fields were silent, and the desolation was so desolate that people were inexplicably flustered.

"Such a large plantation, the flowers and vegetables are growing very well, it looks like it has been carefully cared for, but why can't I see a single person?"

Casio muttered to himself wonderingly.

"The era in which Master Vavrunier lived was very long ago. Judging from the deserted atmosphere of the manor, the former residents here have either left or are no longer alive. The reason why the crops in the field are growing well is probably because The result of magic cultivation." Clark guessed.

"It's better if the garden is left unattended. I just happen to be hungry. If I see melons and fruits on the road, I don't have to worry about being scolded." Shrek stroked his belly and laughed.

A group of people walked into the gate of the manor talking and laughing. Joan turned around and snapped his fingers to cancel the "knocking technique". The bronze gate closed by itself, and the enchantment suppressed by the magic power reopened.

Joan turned around and quickened his pace, chasing his companion along the wide avenue paved with white stone slabs.

At this moment, he suddenly felt hot in the palm of his left hand, and the alarm from "Tears of God" sounded in his mind!

...

Mythological induction: Discover a large group of Tier 2 mythical creatures!

...

Tier 2 mythical creature?

Or "large group"? !

Joan's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up with Clark, Shrek and Casio.

"I'm afraid there is danger ahead, we'd better hide first!"

Qiao An hastily issued a warning, without saying a word to everyone's inquiries, and directly activated two "Sid Mana", and took the "Invisibility" on his chest. His figure quickly faded away, and disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant.

The three of Clark saw that Joan was invisible. Although they were still full of doubts, they also realized that the situation was serious. They hurriedly took out the "invisibility potion" that Joan had prepared for them in advance, and hid in the bushes by the roadside to wait and see what happened.

This manor built in the clouds is not only tall and majestic, but also the flowers and trees growing in the garden are much taller than similar plants on the ground. It is exactly in proportion to the figure of the owner of the manor - the cloud giant. For humans of average stature, every bush in the manor is comparable to a forest in the surface world, and it is not difficult to find a hidden place.

Joan hid in the bushes and stared at the avenue with bated breath. After a while, he saw a group of white figures running on the grass on the opposite side of the avenue, and there were groups of golden birds flying towards him in the air.

When they approached, Joan was surprised to find that those white figures were all tall and strong mythical owl bears, while the group of big birds hovering at low altitudes all had lion-like bodies and heads and claws that resembled giant eagles. , a pair of wide golden wings spread out on both sides of the body, shining brightly under the moonlight——clearly a group of "mythical griffins"!

The mythical griffin was gliding in the air, followed by the mythical owl and bear, and walked along the stone road to the gate of the manor. After carefully observing the gate for a long time, he was relieved to confirm that the door was still closed, and returned to the grassland by the same route.

The mythical griffins landed on the roof of a watchtower near the castle one after another, entered through the window, and returned to their nests to rest; the mythical owlbears got in through the hole at the bottom of the watchtower—presumably the lower floor of the tower was their lair.

Qiao An watched the Mythical Owl and the Mythical Griffin return to their nests, and did not let out a long sigh of relief until the manor returned to silence, realizing that his heart was beating very fast.

Based on what he saw just now, he came up with two conjectures.

First of all, when I and my companions entered the manor, although they did not use violence to break through the door, they still triggered a hidden alarm without knowing it, so that they alarmed the manor guards stationed in the sentry tower, that is, those "mythical owls" Bear" and "Mythical Gryphon", and then came to check.

Fortunately, "Tears of God" issued an alarm in time, allowing Qiao An and the others to hide invisibly in advance, otherwise they would be surrounded by a dozen mythical owl bears and a dozen mythical griffins, and the four of them might not be able to escape.

In addition to being afraid, Qiao An also had a bold guess.

When he was in the Owl Bear Valley two days ago, he was curious about the origin of the Mythical Owl Bear.

Mythical creatures are mostly produced by genetic inheritance. Ordinary owl bears do not have mythical bloodlines. Even if they reproduce for thousands of years, it is difficult to produce a mythical owl bear. Where did the king of owl bears come from?

Now seeing the large group of mythical owl bears guarding the Cloud Manor, Joan's question has been answered.

The mythical owl bear in the Owl Bear Valley either came from this high-altitude manor, or was a descendant of a certain female owl bear in the manor. For some reason, it wandered to the surface world, and gathered those of the same kind with lower bloodlines on the surface in the valley to establish Start a settlement and become a "King of the Mountain"!

Just as Qiao An was lost in thought, the companions around him suppressed the magic power of the "invisibility technique" one after another, and three figures slowly emerged with astonishment on their faces.

Qiao An knew that his companion did not have the vision of "seeing through invisibility" like himself, so he also suppressed the spell and showed signs.

"Brother Joan, did you see the group of owl bears and griffins just now?" The voice of the frost giant couldn't help trembling, "If I'm not mistaken, those monsters are probably mythical creatures!"

"Shrek can feel the mythical power emanating from the owl bear and the griffin, and they are probably Tier 2 mythical creatures." The ogre king rarely showed an uneasy expression, "This place is really too dangerous, more dangerous than Shrek expected. Danger!"

"Although it is very dangerous, we still have to move forward. I hope that group of cute big white bears and big golden birds will stop causing trouble, let us enter the castle safely, and get out of the way as soon as we get that damn collar!" The poet prayed with a wry smile.

Joan glanced at the tower where the mythical owl bear and the mythical griffin lived, and said to Clark in a deep voice, "Mr. Hainier, we have to hurry up and get on the road."

The frost giant nodded thoughtfully, but he didn't dare to return to the avenue. He used the bushes on the side of the road to cover his figure, and sneaked towards the gate of the castle.

Joan, Shrek, and Casio also followed Clark's example, walking on tiptoe in the bushes, not daring to breathe, for fear of alarming the guards in the castle tower.

Along the way, although Qiao An and his companions were worried and trembling, they were still deeply shocked by the wonders they saw, especially the fruits and vegetables grown in the roadside garden, all of which were exaggerated in size!

Today is five more, and there is another chapter
