Chapter 368 – The Cold
Chapter 368 – Cold
“Is this an illusion or not?” Ann followed Saul’s line of sight and also saw the tatters of her clothes, and let out a cold breath.
Because she had just seen no silhouettes other than that strange sound, and had only guessed that she had been attacked.
But when she turned back, she saw nothing, and assumed again that Saul and the others had once again seen an illusion.
But now looking at the hem of her back, Ann was a little confused.
“Calm down, there’s nothing to get hung up on, you’re just under attack.” Sensing that Ann’s state was a bit off, Saul pressed her shoulder with one hand and nudged her brow with the other.
He didn’t cast a sorcery, he just called back Ann’s attention through this action with a strong offensive meaning.
An, who was pointed at, jumped in her heart and looked at the master in front of her, inexplicably tingling a little, but also stabilized her somewhat uncontrollable emotions as a result.
“See the strange, the strange defeats itself. Consider yourselves met with a powerful enemy and do not analyze his attack patterns.”
“Yes.” Agu answered.
He acted calmly, and it was clear that he was someone who had seen a lot of things.
Saul then squatted down and rubbed his hand over the hem of Anne’s coat, scrutinizing the scars on it.
“The topmost break broke very dryly, it should be a very sharp arrow.”
He walked back over to where Ann had just been standing, and his feet didn’t probe any hard objects.
In fact, seeing the state of the ground and the grass, he could think that nothing had been left here, but Saul came over to try anyway.
“Everyone stay together for a while, let’s stand in a triangular array, each of us guarding an area, turn around here and head back.”
Saul had come over mainly to check with the others about Kongsa’s problem, and only incidentally to look for the missing Lyon.
“Figures disappear, arrows disappear, so it’s not surprising that bodies disappear.”
After circling around the neighborhood, Saul’s trio didn’t encounter any more attacks, and he was now ready to go back, and then with as calm a mindset as possible, find out what had happened to Kong Sha here.
“Master look there!” Ann suddenly pointed to the distance.
Sol looked over and immediately narrowed his eyes.
Behind a tree, a patch of black robes was revealed, in a style similar to the Sorcerer Tower apprentice uniform.
The three men moved over cautiously, but when they passed, they realized that the black robe was gone again.
When they looked up again, the piece of robe reappeared behind a tree trunk a little further away.
“You two wait here for me and keep a lookout.”
Saul finished speaking, not waiting for the two to react, and immediately rushed out alone.
He had just gotten close when the robes disappeared once again, appearing in a bearing away from An and Agu. Without hesitation, Saul continued to chase after them.
But this time, he still didn’t catch the other party, and the black robes similarly appeared further away.
Saul looked around, recalling where the black robe had appeared.
“Like cheese laid out on the ground, luring me into a trap?”
However, thinking like this, Sol only stayed for a dozen seconds before rushing over again.
The black robe still disappeared a second before Saul’s arrival, and then unsurprisingly to Saul, appeared behind a large tree away from the grass, away from the conscious body, which Saul was facing at the moment.
Saul took another step, but before he could run two meters, a black tentacle suddenly appeared in the ground below the tree.
A shark-toothed mouth split open at the top of the tentacle and viciously bit at the black robe!
“Ah…”
A short, miserable scream came to an abrupt end.
Saul grunted coldly and increased his speed to rush next to the algae.
Just now, after calculating the orientation of the Black Robe’s several appearances, he immediately told Xiao Zao to ambush under a few large trees in front of him, waiting for the Black Robe to appear to immediately break the ground and attack the other party.
Right now, Saul saw Xiao Zao biting something in his mouth, causing his mouth to be unable to close.
“Sure enough, these godly guys can’t be explained by illusions, nor are they simply stealthy.”
However, in the next second, Saul, who was slightly complacent in his heart, was shocked to find that the tips of Koho’s tentacles suddenly began to twist and distort.
“Disconnect!” Sol immediately shouted.
The algae reacted quickly and immediately disconnected the part that appeared above the ground, while the rest darted back deeper into the soil.
Immediately after that, the section of black tentacles still left outside seemed to be pulled into a spinning vortex, collapsing towards the center along with the scenic air around them.
“Something fell to the ground with a pop.
“Cryptocrystalline?” Sol rushed over, rummaging through the grass on the ground. Cryptocrystalline matter could easily disappear once it was out of sight or physical contact.
But before Saul could transform his arms into translucent spirit tentacles, he found a rather conspicuous cryptocrystalline mass on the grass.
This was because the one that fell on the grass was not fully transparent.
It was like a piece of white playdough mixed into a mass of black, and after a pulling and squeezing, there were more wisps of twisted black thin lines in the white.
This was the crypto-crystalline substance that had converged with Komoro?
“Seaweed!” Saul once again called out Komoro, and then handed the cryptocrystalline substance in his hand to Komoro, “Can you touch it?”
Algae moved closer, then nodded her head, and her chin touched the cryptocrystalline substance mixed with black lines in Sol’s palm, making a “ding dong” sound.
Saul raised his hand and looked at the middle of his arm, although he couldn’t see it at the moment, he could feel something being wrapped around his muscles.
He did not follow Monroe’s example of placing the cryptocrystalline substance in the vitals of his body. Even if he briefly forgot the existence of the cryptocrystalline substance, Penny would still stay on his arm from time to time to help him remember.
Over time, he had subconsciously remembered what was in his arm.
However, this time, Saul didn’t put this cryptocrystalline mass mixed with Komoro’s impurities into his own body, but instead held it up against to Komoro.
“Little Algae, try to see if you can store it?”
Little Algae stuck her head over.
As a parasite on Sol’s body, Little Algae had naturally seen the Cryptocrystalline Plasm. It cocked its head with some curiosity and stuck out its black tongue to lick it.
Not knowing what the touch or flavor was, the tiny tongue whooshed back.
Before Saul could ask a question, the small algae opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire cryptocrystalline substance in one gulp.
It made a bone-crunching sound, followed by a grunt.
Saul’s heart skipped a beat, feeling that this was not the way to store it.
“Can you store it like this and still spit it out?” Saul asked in a hurry.
The small algae wiggled and turned its tentacles without answering, and wiggled back into the back of Sol’s neck.
“It didn’t eat the cryptocrystalline matter, did it? The kind you can digest and eat?”
Sol was a little worried, but by the looks of the little algae, it wasn’t going to come out and answer him for a while.
Little Algae was usually quite smart, why did she completely misunderstand him this time?
Or was it just instinct that prompted it to swallow the cryptocrystalline substance?
“It seems that Penny wants the Cryptocrystalline Substance to eat it as well, if Little Algae really ate the Cryptocrystalline Substance, should we call Penny back?”
Sol hesitated as he walked towards Ann.
“Master!”
Hearing the two in the distance calling out to him, Saul thought something had happened and hurriedly accelerated his steps.
However, when he was still a dozen meters away from the two bodies of consciousness, the two bodies of consciousness in front of him, wearing black robes and with black scarves over their eyes, suddenly transformed into human figures with pale bodies and hanging hands.
Saul immediately braked sharply, and then felt something hit his back.
Two ghastly white hand parts reached from both sides of his neck and looped inward, actually trying to hold him.
Xiao Zao was so dizzy that he couldn’t get out at all, Saul no longer hesitated, and immediately urged his spiritual body to run his magic power, and a transparent Spiritual Armor Technique protection immediately surfaced around his body.
However, the next second, Saul’s body was chilled.
The pale hands behind him were not pushed out by the Spirit Armor Technique, but were wrapped inside together with him!
The two arms were already resting on Saul’s shoulders, and the coldness spread all over his body along with the places they touched.
With his heart in his mouth, Saul retracted his hands and held down the arm on the right side of his body, bowed forward violently, and threw himself with force along with the inertia of leaning forward!
“Return the stolen treasure to …… snap!”
A ghastly white figure was thrown into an over-the-shoulder slam by Saul, and fell hard to the ground!
Saul straightened his back, his face not looking good, at this moment his back, shoulders as well as his hands were frozen by the cold.
However, the next moment, the second pair, the third pair, the fourth pair ……
A dozen pale arms reached out from behind him and hugged his head, his neck, his shoulders, his arms ……
accompanied by a ghostly wail.
“Give me back the treasure!”
“Give me back the treasure!”
“Give me back my treasure!”
Woof
