Chapter 123 Provocation and Embarrassment
"how?"
"The poison is very strong and my head is a little dizzy."
After hearing Alan's answer, Melinda's face was so gloomy that it seemed like tears were dripping from her eyes.
The enemy this time was very powerful. Judging from the spell he just cast, he must be a third-class apprentice who was about to be promoted to a formal wizard. She would not be his opponent in a head-on confrontation. Moreover, his tracking method also made her wary.
There is also a difficult person over at the lab.
She admitted that she had underestimated the enemy's strength and her plans had been repeatedly frustrated. Now that the situation was hopeless, it was time to make a change.
Melinda shouted to the other side of the collapsed passage: "Good evening, apprentices from the Mona Ant Farm. If you want to find us, come to the Kanda Mine. We are waiting for you inside."
As soon as the words fell, the collapsed rocks shook violently a few times. It was obvious that someone had launched a magical attack in anger.
Melinda knew that her goal had been achieved, and she left quickly with Allen without looking back.
On the other side, rocks from the collapsed position continued to fall, and a large area of landslide occurred in the passage, forcing several people to retreat rapidly. The reason for this accident was that Heidi suddenly cast a spell.
"Are you crazy?" Ivan couldn't help but retort. If they hadn't retreated quickly, they would have been buried alive.
"You don't understand." Heidi frowned for a long time and explained, "The Kanda Mine is a magic stone mine. If there is a problem, it will be very troublesome."
Is there a magic stone mine here?
Ivan's eyes widened. Many apprentices could only earn single-digit magic stones every day. How many magic stones must be in the mine? There must be medium and high-quality magic stones.
"It's hollowed out. We went there before," Gina added.
"Oh, it's empty." Ivan suddenly felt bored.
"Yes, otherwise how could we apprentices come to investigate? Heidi said that the empty magic stone mine also has unique value and is an important asset of our academy. It's just that we didn't find any problems during our previous trip." Gina said.
Heidi glared at her obliquely. She was really talking about something irrelevant. However, their investigation work was indeed not done well.
Heidi handed Hosole an antidote and asked him to feed it to Yusse who was lying on the ground, to ensure that the other party would not die immediately, as he was a rare survivor.
After a while, the poisonous smoke faded away.
"What are you standing there for? Go find the people from the hunting team. After all, they are from the same academy." Heidi gestured to Ivan and Gina, but seeing that they were indifferent, she had to remind them.
"You are strong, so you have the final say."
He released the swift wood silkworm and let it search along the holes around.
Gina released the fire ants.
The tiny holes were inconvenient for people to pass through, but were no problem at all for the swarm of insects. Before the few people had to wait for long, the insects brought back news that the people inside were digging a hole outside the mountain and would be able to come out soon.
In that case, Heidi didn't care anymore and took the three of them outside to wait.
After a while, Walban and his group came out of the mountain in a very embarrassed state, and they were obviously relieved when they saw a few people.
"Thank you, it would be better if you could come earlier."
"If it weren't for the unexpected discovery, we might have arrived even later."
Heidi didn't care about what Walban said, but simply explained what happened, highlighting Ivan's contribution, including finding the formation plate, discovering the enemy shadow, and then rushing to rescue them.
Her meaning was very clear. It was a fact that Ivan contributed a lot to the timely rescue.
"This woman usually looks serious, but I didn't expect her to be so sinister. Well done." Hearing her words, Ivan walked to the side in time to highlight his presence so that no one would pretend not to see him.
awkward!
so awkward!
Walban's face changed. Before he set out, he told the other party to wait and see. He was looking for trouble on the way. Now he was undoubtedly saved. This made him feel very uncomfortable. "Mr. Ivan, and the three senior sisters and brothers, thank you for saving my life. If you need anything in the future, just ask." Cook stood up and bowed to thank everyone, helping Walban out.
"Just don't trip me up from behind next time." Ivan muttered. It seemed like he was talking to himself, but in fact his voice just happened to reach everyone's ears.
"No." Walban's voice came through clearly without turning around.
He, Walban, is also a man who cares about his reputation. After all, he is too embarrassed to attack Ivan now.
Hearing this, although Ivan did not laugh out loud, he was very happy in his heart. The grudges with the hunting team were finally resolved a little.
"You are injured. Let's go back to the city and talk about it if you have any questions." Heidi said.
Afterwards, the group returned to Swamp Forest City in a mighty procession.
Seeing all the apprentices return and the mastermind being caught, the happiest person was undoubtedly the city lord Simmons. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would have wanted to hold a celebration banquet for everyone.
The next morning, everyone gathered in the Swamp Forest City prison.
Walban walked forward and gathered a ball of water to throw at the unconscious Yusei.
When Yusé woke up from his coma, he found himself tied to a cross. His body was very weak. He also saw a group of apprentices not far away.
"Now that you're awake, you still remember us." Walban said coldly.
"I've been captured by you, but it seems I'm not dead. Hahaha." There was no panic or confusion in Yousse's eyes. Instead, he laughed dryly in a hoarse voice.
Even after becoming a prisoner, he was still so arrogant. Walban waved his hand and an invisible hand slapped Yusé in the face. Yusé immediately became drowsy and his spirit was weakened.
Ivan recognized that it was the Mage's Hand that Walban had cast, and that the Mage's Hand had become a means of torture.
"Tell me about it."
"say what?"
"What are you doing controlling the ordinary people in Swamp Forest City? What are you doing controlling the demonic beasts outside the city? What are you doing hiding in the mines? Tell me about your plans and arrangements."
"Tsk!" Yusei raised his head and glared at Walban fiercely, "Do you think I will tell you?"
"Then don't blame me for using other means." A ferocious look appeared on Walban's face.
"Wait." Heidi called him.
Walban looked back at Heidi.
"Try this." A light red diamond-shaped crystal floated from Heidi's hand and landed in Walban's palm.
"Red Eye Crystal?"
"Exactly."
Walban's hands trembled slightly.
This woman is so cruel. She actually brought this kind of thing when she went out on a mission. This item is listed in the Academy Alliance's high-risk list. It is used to absorb the memory of living things and is not very stable.
The other apprentices were confused, but soon they found out the purpose of the red-eyed crystal.
Walban was seen holding the diamond-shaped crystal and slapping it towards Yusai. When he took his hand away, Yusai seemed to have a red eye between his eyebrows. It was the red-eyed crystal from before.
Yusé's face changed drastically, probably because he was in some severe pain. He struggled hard but to no avail. In less than two minutes, his eyes began to turn white and his body began to twitch.
At this moment, a ray of light flashed out from the red-eyed crystal, and the light and shadow turned into a particle light film, and a human figure flashed on the light film.
