Chapter 405: Escape and Trap

Chapter 405: Escape and Trap

Finally, I found someone.

The string taut in Saul’s heart finally loosened.

“I realized something had happened to you, but found no sign of the spirit splitting and dissipating, guessing you might still be alive.” The banded fish swam around the black cinderblock-like villain, pondering how to bring the person out.

“Senior, how did you get in here? And who took a shot at you?”

Byron’s cleft spilled the truth to Sol without hesitation, “It was Mrs. Yura! By the way you didn’t take the gray matter potion did you?”

“Yura?” …… I saw the words you left on the quill, so although the potion was prepared, it was not taken.”

Just that the diary did not give a warning about taking the potion, Saul always felt that even if there was a problem with the gray potion, I’m afraid that there was a target for it, and other people taking it might not have a problem.

“Great.” Byron breathed a sigh of relief and told his experience quickly.

“You pretty much know about my locator. It’s flexible and can stretch and retract.”

Sol nodded darkly, having never seen a locator so flexible. It expanded to turn a person into a ball, and contracted to look like a hanging human skin.

Human skin?

Saul suddenly knew how Senior Byron escaped with his life.

That human skin, I’m afraid, still had the effect of confusing the enemy. After all, it was only a locator, not Senior Byron’s real skin!

So Senior Byron had escaped under the eyes of Yura, who was once a second-ranked sorcerer?
What Byron said next was almost exactly what Saul thought, “But my locator also has an extremely special ability – escape by faking death. In the event of a fatal attack on me, the locator will send me to a nearby crevice while it acts dead to delay the enemy from discovering me.”

“Seeing you now, I guessed some of it.” Saul said, “I’ll take you away now, it’s too dangerous to stay here.”

Although Byron had been here for several days, it didn’t mean that the mezzanine was a safe place.

Those eyes could roll over at any time.

“I’m afraid I can’t.” Byron laughed bitterly, “My skin is gone, the original skin hasn’t grown out yet, I’m afraid that leaving now will not have the ability to resist outside contamination at all.”

“No wonder you’ve been hiding here and not going out to look for me.” The banded fish swam restlessly.

But this wasn’t the way to go, it wasn’t Saul’s style to trust his life on those eyes that he didn’t know if they would go crazy or not.

He circled around Byron again, not responding to the other man’s words for him to leave as soon as possible – clearly Byron understood that it wasn’t safe here either, there was just nothing he could do about it.

“By the way, I have a sorcery prop!” Saul had a flash of inspiration, and although Byron’s current size seemed to be a few times larger than that prop, Saul believed that both Byron’s body and that prop had excellent stretchability.

“What?”

“It’s not good to mention it here, so come with me.”

“Good.” Byron agreed without hesitation this time.

Saul was initially wondering how to take the person out, but it turned out that Senior Byron still had the ability to move even though he was in a bit of a miserable state.

If he was lucky enough to stay here for three or two years and grow new skin, he might even be able to get out on his own.

But what will happen in these three or two years is hard to determine.

The two began to move slowly.

Although there was also some concern about the eyes around them, they still couldn’t make too much noise.

Thor had left a mental imprint where he had entered the mezzanine, and now they were carefully traveling to that mark.

Just as soon as the two started to move, eyes around them threw their attention over every now and then.

While they tended to drop their lids in disinterest at the sight of a banded fish and a cloud of black charcoal, there were always one or two that continued to watch them for some reason.

As the process progressed, more and more eyes began to focus on them.

Saul felt the smell of the fish on his body grow as well.

If he didn’t have a physical body, he was afraid he would have to gulp twice.

“Is it because two people moving together is too much movement?” Saul kept his eyes on the surrounding area.

Byron on the side was also alert, and he didn’t open his mouth to remind Saul to be careful. For one thing, he trusted Saul’s vigilance, and for another, if he opened his mouth, he would easily expose more of his spiritual power.

At first, it was fine for the two of them to stay put, but when they moved, they attracted too much attention, so if they could expose a little bit less of their spiritual power, then a little bit less. However, despite this, the number of eyes watching the two of them increased.

After they had been wandering around for ten minutes, most of the eyes in the surroundings had cast their gazes over.

These gazes cast on a person had the feeling of being poked in the skin one at a time with a small nail.

It didn’t hurt, but it was uncomfortable enough to make one irritable and want to scream at any moment.

Saul could sense that Byron behind him was also uncomfortable. The spiritual energy in his body was escaping twice as much as before, and there was a very unsettling mood swing coming from him.

This uneasiness was affecting Saul at the same time, making him more and more irritated, only wanting to attack at those eyes regardless!

“Nope! They’re not watching us, they’re waiting too!”

Saul suddenly realized something bad.

With so many eyes already looking over, it was impossible that they hadn’t noticed them, but instead of launching an attack, the eyes kept staring at Saul and Byron, seemingly waiting for them to be unable to stand it on their own and expose themselves.

“What are they waiting for? Are they waiting for all the eyes to look over and then they can make their move? Or is it ……”

“Or are they waiting for us to not be able to stand it ourselves and initiate an attack?”

Saul recalled his own spirit body had gone mad after being dragged into the candle pipe, and had it not been instantly thrown out by the mouths, there was no telling what it would have evolved into in the end.

At that time, his spirit power was still weak and was more easily affected, but now that his spirit power had surpassed that of an average first-order full-fledged sorcerer, he naturally wouldn’t go crazy so easily.

However, the sense of annoyance still followed him, making it seem like he could hear the sound of blood flowing throughout his body.

But he was clearly in a spiritual state now, where did he get the blood?
Saul controlled the banded fish to suddenly turn back and pressed its head against Byron’s body.

He carefully, penetrated it with a fluctuation that only two people could clearly feel, “Senior, don’t move, I’ll push you.”

Byron struggled slightly, but quickly calmed his growing irritation.

He suppressed himself from saying anything, and simply nodded with an effort.

“Senior Byron is really on the verge of breaking out!” Saul’s heart skipped a beat, “The reason the diary didn’t have any hints is because once Senior Byron explodes, I can escape, but he can’t!”

The fact that these eyes didn’t move Senior Byron at first might not necessarily mean that they didn’t really notice him.

They were most likely waiting for Senior Byron to recover as well.

After all, unripe fruits were often bitter.

Thinking of this, Saul immediately accelerated his speed to minimize Senior Byron’s consumption.

As long as Senior Byron tried to stay as still as possible, controlling his spirit with all his might, they would be able to last until they left.

However, by doing so, Saul clearly exposed the fact that he had already discovered the eyes’ trap.

Those eyes immediately widened in a circle, and a feeling of being watched that was almost turning into substance immediately pressed down on Saul and Byron’s bodies!
Since this was the case, Saul didn’t pretend anymore, he simply used his spiritual power to put up a “Spiritual Armor Technique”, which instantly made the uncomfortable feeling on his body subside a lot!
At the same time, Senior Byron in front of him was also obviously much more relaxed due to this “Spiritual Armor Technique” constructed by his spiritual power.

Not only that, Saul also swam forward with all his strength.

Without the pressure of being watched, he swam faster.

Just spiritually casting sorcery, the movement was like a cannon, and it gathered the gaze of all the eyes here at once.

Sol immediately felt the consumption of his spiritual power intensifying.

Fortunately, he had enough spiritual power.

The original ten-minute journey was compressed into five minutes, and the coordinates that Saul had left behind when he came in were already close at hand.

Those eyes obviously also knew that the two were about to run out.

A few of them blinked, and suddenly a black light actually shot out from their pupils!
The exit was close at hand, and the other eyes were about to start blinking.

Saul could only stifle his sprint while increasing his spiritual power output once again.

“Boom–“

Several black rays of light struck the Spirit Armor Technique, and the sorcery only lasted for three to five seconds before shattering!

But fortunately, Saul at this time, as soon as he hugged and rolled the cinderblock Byron violently rushed out from that marked exit!
Thank you to all the reader lords for the bounty!
