Chapter 64 Shadow of Death
Chapter 64 Shadow of Death
Jiushi was obviously frightened and held his arm tightly: "Ivan, save me, you must save me."
"What happened?"
Looking far away at the dormitory area on the left, Ivan found that it was in a mess and it didn't look like someone had broken into the castle.
Purney ignored the two of them and trotted over to investigate the situation.
Being next to Ivan, Jiushi seemed to have grasped a sense of security.
She took a few deep breaths and then said palely, "Thomson is gone. He was walking at the door of the dormitory, and when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly broke into pieces, blood, flesh and bones flew everywhere, the walls and doors were destroyed, my door was also destroyed, and a mass of things crashed in. You didn't see the scene just now, it was too horrible, too horrible.
I don’t want to become like that. We are real brothers and sisters. Please help me. I want to go back to Flying Fish Harbor. I want to go back to see my mother. She is in poor health and she can’t live without me——"
At this moment, she completely lost her previous pride.
"We will be back." Ivan hesitated, then reached out to hug Jiushi, who was beginning to lose control of her emotions, and patted her on the back. "Trust me, we will definitely be able to return to Flying Fish Harbor."
"Ah."
Jiushi looked up at him with tears in her eyes and nodded heavily.
Penny quickly ran back and looked at the two people hugging each other with an unpleasant look.
She stared at the two of them with wide eyes. Jiushi stepped back embarrassedly and turned around to adjust her clothes.
Purney said with a somewhat grim expression, "There is another apprentice who was affected and injured badly, just like Aaron. I heard his name seems to be Fink. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
"Nothing to see."
Ivan looked at her speechlessly. Who made her run so fast just now? This young lady didn't seem as smart as she looked. She even seemed a little unreliable.
Penny looked at him suspiciously: "What's that look?"
Ivan said: "The look of appreciation praises your bravery and your ability to remain calm. This is better than Jiushiti."
Purney said, "Really? Haha, I'm used to such small situations."
Jiutiti turned around, her face no longer showing the embarrassment from before. She moved and stood next to Ivan, looking at the strange woman in front of her who seemed somewhat familiar. Seeing that the other person's face was more attractive than hers, she became secretly alert in her heart.
Perni introduced herself generously: "I'm Perni, we've met before."
Jiushi recognized her immediately, her eyes lit up: "It's Miss Purney, I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that our meeting would be like this. It's nice to see you, Jiushiti."
"Me too, sorry for being rude just now."
"It's okay. You're already braver than most people."
I had never heard of how good their relationship was before. Looking at the two people chatting enthusiastically, Ivan felt that it was a bit redundant for him to be standing here.
At this time, a man walked out of the front room, wearing a bulky apprentice robe, causing the two people who were chatting to stop talking.
Ekz glanced at the three of them, then turned and walked to the other side.
Ivan noticed that there were scaly cracks on his face and the back of his hands. He looked strange and his breath was even stranger. It seemed that he was not in good condition. No wonder he showed up so late.
Ekz is extremely unlucky. First, his house was ransacked, and he lost important items that could keep his body stable. Then, he had to share the power of the curse with Toins. This series of blows has led to his current predicament.
Time passes day by day.
Ivan completed the refining of the physical potion, succeeding a total of 8 times, equivalent to a success rate of more than %. The experience points of pharmacy increased by a hundred points, and the energy particle science also improved a little.
[Pharmacy: lv3 (179/300)]
[Energy Particle Science: Lv1 (59/100)]
[Curse: lv0 (5/10)]
He was a little confused about the science of curses. Now he didn't dare to easily touch the power of the curse on his arm. The experience points were completely increased passively.
In addition to refining medicine, he focused more on hatching insect eggs. According to Toins's information requirements, he used one-quarter of a nutrient potion, water and a small amount of his own blood as the hatching liquid, and input a certain amount of mana every day.
He found that the eggs had changed, but he didn't know how long it would take for them to hatch.
Afterwards, he took the stamina potion to the little green-winged snake to report. The little green-winged snake had great potential to become a capitalist, so he only gave him two stamina potions as a reward.
The little green-winged snake brought a new recipe from Toins - Ginger Water. Ginger Water is superior to the physical strength potion and its effect is to replenish physical strength and vitality.
From nutritional potions to physical potions, and then to ginger water, he had reason to believe that this was a series of potions. Toins might have a high-quality prescription, which made him very excited.
But he knew that with Toins's character, this possibility was very small. Judging from the three potions at the moment, they were all insignificant and had little effect on him.
The little green-winged snake only gave him 20 portions of the ingredients for Jiang Nai's water, asking him to use them with caution. Instead, it sent him 100 portions each of the nutritional potion and the physical strength potion.
……
Outside the castle, in an underground cave.
"Toins must be trying to find me. He probably can't figure out how I cut off the connection with the curse. He might have panicked because things are out of his control and developing in an unpredictable direction. Hahahaha."
There was a gray iron pillar in the center of the cave. At this moment, Billel was wrapping his snake body around it. The injuries he had suffered many days ago had obviously healed.
Under the gray iron pillar, the surrounding ground has been leveled and a four-armed ape is carving runes and patterns on the ground. The center of these runes and patterns is the gray iron pillar.
"He will never imagine that the sins and evil deeds he committed in the past will become a shadow covering him, and these shadows will bring him death. Hahaha." Biller walked up and down the gray iron pillar, laughing wildly from time to time.
If there was a wizard present, he would know that Birrell's animal nature had seriously suppressed his humanity, and his emotions were difficult to control. The injury he suffered many days ago had some impact.
"He has no idea that I can find the real core of the magic array that controls the island underground. He is just a despicable thief. All his arrangements will be used by us and become spears to stab him. It's so funny, hahahaha."
"He is the scum among wizards, a poor fellow who can only hide on a small island in the sea. How can such a shameless person like him live? Kill him, kill him. I will kill him, hahahaha."
“——”
The noisy laughter echoed in the cave, but the four-armed ape turned a deaf ear to it and its hand movements were not affected at all.
After a long time, Billel finally stopped swimming. The body of the sea snake was covered with frost coming from the gray iron pillar. He climbed down from the gray iron pillar with a gloomy face. He knew his situation well and could only suppress it with the help of the gray iron pillar.
Thinking of his current situation, the resentment in his heart became even stronger. All of this was caused by Toins.
After a long while, the four-armed ape said, "There are not enough materials. We need more resources to set up the sacrificial formation."
"We have searched the original ruins and the nearby ocean many times. They have long been plundered, unless we sneak into the castle to look for them."
"The protective formation in the castle was set up by that person with the help of the power of the island formation. It is also an independent magic formation. It lacks relevant control items and may hinder our plan."
Bieler thought for a moment and said, "I'll contact Penny and ask her to cooperate with us inside."
The four-armed ape didn't say anything else and was still busy with the work in his hands. The rune ritual array needed to be improved.
Birrel said, "How about my previous proposal? As long as we merge as one, our strength will increase greatly. We can kill that person without any sacrifice. You also want to kill the person who has abandoned you like a worn-out shoe with your own hands, right?"
The four-armed ape seemed not to hear anything, and the cave fell into silence.
