Chapter 69: Profiting from Chaos
Chapter 69: Profiting from Chaos
Penny made way.
Ivan moved closer to listen carefully and identify, indicating that there was no one around and allowed her to continue digging.
After a while, under Penny's manipulation, a wet underground passage emerged.
The passage was filled with fog, like the surface of a lake in the early morning of autumn and winter. What made her uncomfortable was the green color in the fog. The green airflow mixed with the white fog was particularly conspicuous.
"Let's go this way."
Penny pointed to the side where the cyan airflow was less active.
Ivan shook his head: "That side should lead to the sea, and the opposite direction is where the wind blows."
Penny was afraid of the green airflow, and Ivan pointed to the crack in the ground filled with mud and rocks above, indicating that they could not stay there for long. The crack might really collapse because of her operation just now.
The two walked forward for a distance, and the green airflow in the passage was obviously increasing, and was actively moving towards them. It was obviously attracted by the demon's curse, and the two hurriedly quickened their pace.
Occasionally, traces of something crawling can be seen on the ground, probably left by Birrell.
As the two continued to move forward, the noise coming from the front became louder and louder, scaring them so much that they had to be careful and alert, and they didn't even care about the green mist that was approaching.
The passage was spacious and open, with a roomy underground cave in front. In the center of the cave stood a strange gray iron pillar. Deep green mist constantly emanated from around the iron pillar, and the sounds of fighting came from above the iron pillar.
But no figures fighting above could be seen.
Penny breathed a sigh of relief and quickly quickened her pace to go around the iron pillar and head towards one of the passages on the other side, but she found that someone was not following her.
She turned around and found Ivan staring at the ground in the middle of the cave without blinking.
"Wait for me up ahead, I'll catch up with you in a quarter of an hour." Ivan took a few steps toward the center of the cave, his eyes fixed on the rune array on the ground.
"What do you want to do?"
Perni was puzzled. She had also seen the things on the ground. It should be a rune array used for sacrifice. "You don't want to remember those runes, do you? Runes are not as simple as they seem. It's useless to remember them. They are different at first glance and at second glance. They are not the same as the meditation runes recorded in memory."
Ivan did not change his mind: "I know that the runes need to be comprehended and their true meanings understood."
"You're crazy."
Seeing him walking directly towards the center of the cave, weaving through the thick dark green mist, Pernie gritted her teeth and simply ignored him, going around to another passage.
She had never seen such a person before. If he could understand it just by watching, then he was not a wizard apprentice, but a great scholar and sage. This was crazy.
Ivan ignored her.
The curse of demon resentment is related to his own survival. An activated rune array is like a young girl taking off all her clothes. There is no better opportunity than this to analyze the power of the curse of demon resentment.
Under the inexplicable attraction, the deep green mist continued to move upwards, floating along the gray iron pillars to the top of the island. The situation was better than he expected.
He rolled up his sleeves and took a look at his arm. The seal was indeed absorbing the misty air, and its color was faintly deepening.
Ivan didn't dare to waste time and stood close to the rune array. In his eyes, the activated runes looked like little people dancing happily, changing in various shapes and forms. It was indeed not something that someone at his level could observe from the sidelines.
A level 3 light of wisdom lit up, and his mind instantly became clear. Inspired by his understanding and spirituality, he found the clue to explore the runes, which was the seal on his arm and the method of making the secondary spell of Summer Curse taught by Toins, as well as the mist that was gathering into the seal.
In just a few minutes, the experience points in curse and rune studies on the light film increased continuously.
Afterwards, he lit up the only Level 4 Great Wisdom Light. The tenfold understanding and spirituality gave him an illusion that all the mysteries of the world were within his sight. He was the prophet who saw through everything in the cave.
Illusions are just illusions. Any understanding needs to be based on reality. He must focus on the rune array in front of him and his past accumulated knowledge.
……
At the end of the passage on one side of the cave, there is a narrow crack through which you can see the sky outside. Rumbling sounds can be heard constantly outside, and it seems that there are many people fighting nearby.
But where do so many people come from on the island?
Purney knew that if she pushed the soil a little, she could open a passage out of the underground. She hesitated when she heard the chaotic noise outside. "Why haven't you come yet? You won't die there."
From time to time, she looked back at the passage she came from. The person who followed her had not appeared yet, which made her feel a little uneasy.
What’s so great about the superior breathing method? He is such a restless guy.
Don’t think that just because you have a talent for potions, you can understand the rune arrays set up by others and think of yourself as a formal wizard, right?
Don't really die, bastard.
"Who?"
When she had cursed in her heart for the thousandth time, a noise startled her awake and she quickly turned around to be on guard.
"What do you think?" Ivan walked over. His face was a little pale but his eyes were particularly bright.
He casually threw the glass bottle of Jiang Nai water to the ground, and knocked his tired head with his clenched fist. He had consumed a lot of energy just now, which was something he did not expect.
Purney looked at him unhappily: "I told you not to listen to me, and now you've suffered the consequences."
Ivan changed the subject: "What's going on outside?"
Penny shook her head. "They fought in a ball."
"Let me hear it."
Ivan pricked up his ears and listened attentively. The people fighting were some distance away from here. He heard the voices of the little green-winged snake and the cloud servant. The little green-winged snake and the cloud servant were fighting.
Further away, where there was more movement, it should be Toins and Biller.
He told Penny about the situation, and they decided to take the opportunity to leave.
Under Penny's operation, the two left the underground passage, crouched stealthily in the thatch behind the stone, and observed the battle situation not far away.
No one knew what happened, but a large number of cloud servants appeared and became Biller's accomplices. The only accomplices left of Toins were the little green-winged snake and the metal puppet.
"Look, there's a puppet on the ship." Penny pointed ahead, her eyes almost lighting up.
The puppet on the Lar appeared on the battlefield, the thing she had been thinking about killing.
She said what she had said many times: "The opportunity is right, let's hijack the ship."
"it is good."
This time Ivan did not refuse.
Compared with Toins and Biller, the two were just small shrimps and didn't want to get involved in the fight over there. Now was the perfect opportunity to escape.
After walking around the battlefield for a distance, Ivan slowed down his pace and said after a moment of hesitation, "You go first. I'll go pick someone up."
"Who?" Purney's eyes widened, as if she had seen him wrongly. "It must be Jiushiti, right? You must be crazy again. How about this, when we get back, I will give you a few women who will be no worse than Jiushiti."
Ivan changed his direction: "We'll be there soon."
"After I hijack the ship and convince the Iron-edged Giant Turtle, I won't wait for you."
"you will."
Under her astonished gaze, Ivan shook the copper token in his hand, which he had just picked up from the ground beside the rune array.
Faced with this situation, Pernie felt really crazy inside, and she ran towards the pier with a dark face.
