Chapter 131: Just to Hug the Thigh
Chapter 131: Just to Hug the Thigh
Wright was relieved to see that Byron didn’t make a stupid mistake, and immediately chased after him to ask about the key topic.
“The people from the land traveling boat are most likely waiting for us outside, what are your plans, a hard charge?”
The speed of the three was fast, and the exit was already close at hand.
“I’ll release the fog that blurs vision immediately after we get out, and at the same time release the signal from the Sorcerer’s Tower. The people of the Land Rowboat should know to stop if they don’t want to turn their backs on the Sorcerer’s Tower.”
“What if they continue to attack us?” Wright clenched his fists, listening to Saul’s description, I’m afraid there are quite a few enemies outside, “Fighting their way out? There is a three-masted sailing ship with a landwalker outside.”
“We can’t be slowed down.” Bill disagreed, “Although the evil spirits won’t come into the sunlight, it’s getting late and we must leave the Valley of the Drooping Hands as soon as possible, we can’t be blocked by the people outside. Once outside take advantage of the mist I’ve released and find a weak opening to break through immediately.”
Wright clenched his fists, a three-masted sailing ship usually didn’t have a full-fledged wizard on board, as long as they were careful of Herman, they still had a good chance of escaping together.
Byron, who was running at the front, however, did not participate in the discussion.
He stayed silent, as if he was still obsessing about Saul.
Wright felt sure that Saul would not survive.
That evil spirit had been attempting to devour their souls since it appeared, and if he caught up with Saul ……
His end was no longer hard to imagine.
Soon, Byron’s trio could already see the sunlight at the entrance of the cave.
Byron suddenly put a hand into his mouth and pulled out three test tubes.
Before taking a step out of the cave, he threw the test tubes out with one hand.
The fragile glass test tubes immediately shattered when they hit the stone, and a large white smoke spread out, instantly enveloping the entire entrance of the crypt.
Bill glanced at Byron, knowing that he was not trusting himself.
Naturally, he wouldn’t fully trust Byron either.
Bill stood still at the entrance, opened his mouth, and similar white smoke poured out of his mouth.
However, just as his white smoke spilled out, something suddenly crashed into the entrance.
“Boom–“
With a shaking of the ground, the entrance of the cave collapsed and debris rolled down.
Sand and smoke engulfed everything at once.
The people from Land Row Boat directly fired their cannons.
Wright slammed into a crouch behind the two men and pressed his hands into the ground as a huge wall of earth leapt out.
The entrance to the cave was collapsed by the shells, but it also exposed most of the crypt as a result.
But as the ground continued to collapse, more smoke poured out of the ground.
This smoke covered a large area, making it impossible to see exactly where the source of the smoke was.
Suddenly, a black shadow rushed into the sky and burst into bloom in the clear blue sky, blooming a huge black rose.
After it bloomed, the rose petals fell down one after another, emitting a cheeky laugh as they rubbed against the air.
It was the signal from the Sorcerer’s Tower.
However, the attack from the outside world did not stop because of this signal indicating identity, but instead became more violent and urgent.
One by one, shells fell from the cliff to the ground, and the strong impact made the ground of this valley quickly become full of holes.
However, in the gap between the shells falling to the ground, three figures rushed out from a crack.
Bill was surrounded by white mist, his figure loomed in the white mist, and quickly turned from one figure to two, and then to more.
It was impossible to tell which one was the real one.
Another shell flew in, and killing intent flashed in Bill’s eyes.
The mist around him looked like nothingness, but it turned into soft foam the moment it touched the shell.
Although the shell was trapped in the foam, it lost its destructive power.
When it pierced through the white fog and landed on the ground, it had already turned into an ordinary iron lump, and could only smash the ground with a small crater with a “bam” sound. The people in the land boat were not as many as they thought.
In order to avoid the shells, they were far away from the exit, unable to form a siege.
This was more convenient for them to escape.
Bill glanced at the others.
Wright didn’t need to worry, his earth sorcery was perfect for defense.
But to Bill’s surprise, Byron didn’t run outside.
He broke away from the group and ran to the same passageway where they had entered the underground in the first place.
The one pointed out by Saul, located in a cave in the cliffs.
“What’s he up to?” Bill’s pupils shrank as an unbelievable suspicion surfaced.
Byron paid no attention to what the others were thinking as he carried Nick on his back and rushed into the cave in the crag.
Byron went farther in and picked a random fork in the road to set Nick down.
He took a few more vials out of his mouth and placed them beside Nick.
“Self-imposed isolation won’t solve the underlying problem.”
With only these words, he left Nick here and entered the passageway to the underground himself.
And after Byron left, Nick, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes.
Confusion, fear, pain, sadness …… a series of negative emotions turned in Nick’s eyes, making his face as twisted as an evil spirit.
But after a moment passed, Nick struggled to get up from the ground and looked at the passageway in front of him.
“Is Byron going to save Saul?” He struggled to keep his fluctuating emotions at bay, “What’s the point now? Does he think Saul will survive?”
Nick’s palm pressed against the rough stone and scratched it so hard that blood instantly flowed from his fingertips.
The pain cleared Nick’s mind slightly, “Bill still took a shot at Saul. The game between mentors, how can it be participated by a second level apprentice like me? Letting Saul go to Mill Sail Town is already a very dangerous choice.”
He was torn within the cave, constantly telling himself to keep a low profile.
However, Nick’s footsteps, which were involuntarily raised, unexpectedly followed Byron and walked into the downward passage.
“I’m just trying to hug the tower master’s leg.”
Learning from the words Saul once used, Nick convinced himself in this way.
……
The shell bombardment had been going on for some time, but facing a group of third level wizard apprentices, the effect of physical bombardment was really limited.
On the side of the Land Rowboat, an apprentice had already been unable to hold back and came over to Herman, who was dressed in silver, and said loudly, ”Lord Herman, a lot of cannonballs have already been consumed. At this rate our stockpile is about to run out. Should we stop the attack and send people to rush up?”
Herman glanced at him coldly.
“Do you realize that they are third level apprentices of the Sorcerer’s Tower? Charge up there? With you losers? Keep shelling them for me and drain them of their magic power and sorcery props!”
Herman gently twisted his right hand, where there was a freshly healed wound.
Underground, he had fought with two of them on the Witch Tower side, leaving this wound.
Herman thought that his strength was not below any of them, but it was still a strain to deal with multiple people at the same time. The only few level 3s around him were basically losers who would only follow orders.
It was still too early to tell just how many people were on the Wizard Tower side, and he had to exhaust the other side as much as possible.
In this situation, it was natural to use long-range weapons and strike first in full force.
“It’s just a pity for that boy ……,” Herman narrowed his eyes, “When he escaped, he seemed to know exactly which passage was safe and which was dangerous. Is he familiar with the situation here, or does he have a superb ability to sense crisis?”
Either way, it made Herman take an interest in the boy.
Now that he wasn’t thinking of killing the boy, Herman even wanted to take the person back and study him if he could.
Cut open every inch of his skin, dig out his brain, and find out what exactly gave him the ability to run for his life.
