Chapter 268 – The Trap
Chapter 268 The Trap
The people struggling to explore the town didn’t expect that outside the city gates after dark, new sorcerer apprentices were attracted by the Grave Squares, wanting to enter the town of Mill Sail to find out what was going on.
Billy, who had always been grim, rarely showed the slightest hint of a smile.
He squatted at the edge of the field with interest and looked at the grave squares in the ground.
Angela, whose whole body was wrapped in a cloak, stood impatiently behind him.
“Didn’t you say that this town had been slaughtered and asked me to come over to absorb the soul fragments? But looking at these graves clean and dry, it’s clear that they’ve already been shortchanged by others.”
Hearing Angela’s complaint, the hint of a smile disappeared from the corner of Billy’s mouth.
“What do you know? This is an auxiliary square for cultivating the curse! What’s hidden in the town right now is a lot more precious than your soul fragment.”
Billy stood up and looked toward the gates of the town not far away.
A gripping silence centered on the town and spread out in all directions.
“A curse …… cultivated with the power of a town,” Billy licked his lips, “Go in, and there’s a chance you’ll die.”
Angela heard Billy mutter to himself and immediately tensed.
After a few months together, she already knew exactly what kind of personality her temporary companion had.
As long as he was interested, even if there was a great danger, he would dive in head first.
And as Angela, who had honestly stayed in the lab since entering the Sorcerer’s Tower and hardly participated in any dangerous actions, leaving the Sorcerer’s Tower was already out of her comfort zone.
Not to mention the fact that these days, she had practically followed Billy in life and in death.
What with going outside to collect souls, having more resources and not having to be as careful as she was in the Wizard’s Tower.
All of it was just a lie to her!
Seeing that it was so hard to decide to go back to the tower, she didn’t expect that halfway through the journey, Billy was attracted by the abnormality here.
Now it seemed likely that he was preparing to enter the unknown, but already turned cursed land town across the street.
“I’m not going.” Angela immediately objected.
“You can’t leave me.” Billy didn’t allow her to argue back.
“Why? My strength is simply not enough, follow you in instead easy to drag you back, you want to go just go, I’ll go back to the wizard tower and wait for you can not?”
Billy didn’t speak again, he directly expressed his opinion with his actions.
Angela stood still at first. But as she watched Billy walk farther and farther away, her belly actually began to ache.
“Damn it.” Angela had no choice but to trot along.
Billy had put a special toxin on her, and as long as he didn’t give Angela the antidote that would allow her to temporarily stay away, then Angela couldn’t get within a hundred meters of Billy.
Otherwise the pain would spread from a small abdominal pain all over her body.
As for the pain to the end, it will evolve into what harm …… Angela did not dare to try.
Billy, anticipating that Angela wouldn’t dare test his toxin’s capabilities on his life, calmly pressed his hand against the gates.
A light green gas seeped out from his palm and spread to the city gate.
This gas had a strong corrosive property, and when it touched the gate, it immediately corroded a large hole in the wooden city gate along with the wooden bolts behind it.
Soon this large hole expanded enough to accommodate a person walking straight into it.
Billy didn’t even wait for Angela and walked straight into the town.
Angela kept Billy at arm’s length while she reluctantly stepped over the splintered wood that had fallen to the ground.
The moment she stepped through the gates, Angela suddenly heard the sound of water.
It wasn’t an ordinary sound of water running.
The sound reminded her of a great flood that had once occurred in her hometown.
The fast flowing river had swept away all the buildings along the road with devastating force.
As long as one was in the path of the flood, no ordinary person could escape, whether they ran or not.
In the end, they could only be wrapped up by the flood, merging into the mud, sand, rocks and branches in the water, turning into a part of the flood’s momentum, helping it to cause even more damage.
Angela bit her lip, her face ugly.
At this time, however, her left hand suddenly blocked in front of her. “What’s the point of telling me not to go in there now?” Angela whispered, “Why didn’t you just go talk to Billy?”
Of course Angela knew it was the evil thoughts of her left hand alerting her to the danger.
How could she not know there was danger.
Angela dragged her heavy steps behind Billy.
The two walked along the main road for some time.
At a junction, Billy suddenly turned sharply to the right down an alley as if he had noticed something.
Angela ostensibly distanced herself from Billy, but after seeing the other’s figure disappear, she still hurriedly rushed past, afraid that she had really lost him.
However Billy didn’t go far after entering the alley and stood at the entrance of a small courtyard.
Angela hastily braked and probed at the small courtyard in front of Billy.
“What’s so special about this place?” Angela looked at the battered courtyard gate, “This courtyard looks like a place where the poor live.”
“Something has appeared here.” Billy just stared at the small courtyard, “The flies I keep disappeared as soon as I entered.”
Billy lifted his chin at Angela, “Let the grunts you raised go in and take a look.”
Angela had performed the ritual of the dead man’s flower a couple times after leaving the witch’s tower, as Billy had requested.
Because the grudge spirits Billy provided were all of good quality and there were so many more of them than in the Sorcerer’s Tower, Angela soon had several grudge servants.
Once there was anything dangerous, the grudge spirits could be allowed to scout the way.
It was a real benefit that was gained, so Angela’s grudge against Billy in her heart was also a little less.
Now was the time when the Grudge Spirit needed to be used.
Only to see a layer of translucent ugly and horrible human face suddenly added to her delicate face.
As soon as that human face appeared, it desperately struggled to run out.
However, it was as if there was a layer of glue between it and Angela’s face, and the face made a heart-wrenching tearing sound as it detached.
Angela’s beautiful face was distorted, and it was clear that this separation would cause her pain as well.
In order to end the torture as soon as possible, she clenched her teeth and threw her head back.
With a cracking sound, the face finally regained its freedom.
The first thing it did was try to run.
When it broke away from Angela, the human face was facing the small courtyard, so it also rushed straight into the small courtyard.
It saved Angela from issuing orders.
However, the moment that horrible human face entered and exited the small courtyard, the sound of a tidal wave suddenly resounded in the ears of Ratio and Angela.
This sound Angela had also heard when entering the town, only to disappear shortly afterward, he thought it was some special voodoo effect and didn’t pay too much attention to it.
But the next second, bright red water flowed out of the last row of the small courtyard, the window slit that was boarded up.
The water flow gathered more and more, and at an incredible speed, it gradually converged into a pool of red ocean.
The sound of the red pools of water lapping against the walls of the house in the flow was like the sound of waves lapping against the reef.
Billy took a step back, his face instantly gloomy.
“Go!” He turned around with a low shout and ran.
Before Angela could sense the danger, the collar at the back of her neck was tugged hard.
She staggered backward a few steps before she was able to turn her direction to follow Billy with her dexterity.
“I haven’t gotten my grudge back yet.”
“Can’t get it back.” Billy said coldly, “We’ve been tricked! This is not a curse generating ground at all. Rather, it’s an already complete curse field.”
“You’re the only one who’s been tricked.” Angela thought to herself as she snuck up behind Billy and rolled her eyes, “I didn’t want to come in here in the first place.”
