Chapter 116: All Over the Mountains
After descending to the bottom of the steep rolling stone slope, the Wood Spider, under Byron's command, set up several tents at a certain distance from the foot of the mountain.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will spend the next month or even longer here.
After quickly setting up the tent, Byron called Thor to start setting up the experimental equipment.
Because in order to capture evil spirits, you must first determine the approximate location of the evil spirits.
What Byron is building now is the soul wave sensor that he moved out of the wizard tower.
Thor had never seen or used this kind of instrument, so he could only pass things to it and help from the side.
Without using his brain, Thor handed over the materials while observing his surroundings.
"Senior Byron, why are there so many holes on the ground and at the foot of the mountain here? I think some of the holes were dug by humans."
"Yes, the original ground here is actually under this land. It is said that a third-level wizard directly moved half a mountain here and buried all the wizards who were the enemy reinforcements inside."
"Half a mountain?" Thor was shocked. He couldn't imagine how he could mobilize his mental and magical powers to lift a mountain.
His wizard hand can only lift a chair at present.
"Some wizards were trapped under the mountain but did not die. They dug holes and ran upwards. However, most of them did not survive even after escaping from underground. Later, some people came here to look for treasures and valuable materials. As time went by, holes were dug everywhere here."
Thor saw a hole nearby that was no more than ten centimeters in diameter. He wondered what kind of person came out from underground or whether they were looking for treasure.
At this time, Nick, who had gone out to explore the way, came back.
"I made a preliminary check and found that there are almost no spirits here. If we want to catch evil spirits, we must go deeper."
Byron dusted off his hands and asked, "How deep do we have to go?"
Nick unfolded a map.
The map does not need a table to support it and floats in the air automatically.
Thor also leaned over and saw that the map depicted the area near the steep slope at the entrance of Chuishou Valley.
"Should we search around here? Together, or split up the work?"
Byron and Nick looked up at Thor at the same time.
"how?"
"Nick and I will be in charge of the search, and Thor, you stay here to guard the equipment." Byron spoke first.
Nick also said, "After all, you have only reached level 2, and you are not proficient in witchcraft. You should stay here and review your knowledge."
"Okay..." Thor thought that he had become a second-level apprentice halfway through and could participate more in this exploration.
At this time, Byron also installed the sensor. "This is fine. It is also more convenient to move."
"Has anyone captured souls here before?" Thor looked at the mirror-like existence in the center of the sensor and walked over to take a look.
The mirror didn't seem to be smooth, and Thor's distorted face was reflected in it.
Seeing that Thor was interested, Byron gave him a brief introduction.
"The mirror surface is not flat, and the people reflected on it are distorted. When I turned on the instrument, the flat human figures it showed were all spirits."
"Can I try it?" Thor looked in the mirror curiously.
Strangely, the mirror feels very smooth.
Could it be that the silver coating inside is uneven?
Byron demonstrated it to Thor. "This is how you adjust the wavelength. You can try it yourself later. But be careful not to exceed this critical value."
Thor looked down at the red mark on it, "What will happen after this?"
Nick put away the map and stretched out his hand in front of Thor, making a flower gesture. "It's possible to see things you can't see. Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing."
Wizards are always very efficient.
Byron and Nick quickly decided on the direction of their exploration and left their temporary base.
After the two left, Thor was not idle either.
It just so happened that he had just been promoted to level two, and had absorbed so many soul fragments - although soul fragments could not be preserved for a long time, they could affect spirit esters, thereby increasing Thor's magic power - he didn't even know what his current magic power was.
It just so happened that the temporary base was fully equipped with various instruments, so Thor took this rare opportunity to give himself a full body check-up.
This inspection brought many surprises.
His magic power value directly reached 53 joules! Mental power cannot be accurately estimated with numerical values, but Thor could vaguely feel that his mental power had become more condensed.
The wizard Shelly had been accumulating vengeful spirits for who knows how long, and he didn't know how to use them, so Thor unexpectedly got the advantage of them.
But Thor didn't want to learn from Shelly and create vengeful spirits.
Even if the soul fragments of these evil spirits can bring great improvement to Thor, the impurities in them may cause the improvement to be accompanied by terrible consequences.
For example, Sonelle or something.
After the physical examination, Thor was basically sure that the promotion had no negative impact on his body and he breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.
If an apprentice is promoted due to various accidents, causing physical or mental damage or even pollution, it can be compensated as long as the degree is not too serious.
But Thor also didn't want to ruin his body after his first promotion.
Putting down the black crystal, Thor made sure that there was no one around and took out a small silver ball from his arms.
The ball is no more than half a centimeter in diameter, with occasional starlight shining inside.
That was the cocoon of the nightmare butterfly that Thor took out of Penny's eyes.
What Thor took out from Penny's eyes were two silver hemispheres.
But when he held the two hemispheres in his palms, they automatically merged into a sphere and could no longer be separated with his bare hands.
Thor had never heard of the Nightmare Butterfly before.
After meeting up with senior Byron this time, he flipped through the butterfly-related books in his hand, but did not find any records related to the nightmare butterfly.
This was obviously not knowledge that a first-level apprentice could access, but Thor was very curious about Penny's ability to enter other people's dreams.
"I don't know how to activate this cocoon so that I can have a chance to enter the dream world."
Thor gently stroked the silver cocoon with his fingertips, while his other hand wrote down his inspiration on paper.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
1. The simplest way is to sleep in the cocoon. You can put a few ordinary people around you to ensure the safety of the experiment.
2. Embed into the eyes and fall asleep. Copy Penny's experience, but the price is a bit high. The healing witchcraft to restore limbs is expensive, but it is not impossible to try if you have money.
3. Through meditation, use your mental power to synchronize with the cocoon to try to find a way to activate the cocoon's ability...
“Patta, patta, patta…”
Saul suddenly stopped writing and straightened up.
He seemed to hear something.
He held onto the table and was about to stand up when he suddenly saw a dark shadow passing under his table.
Thor looked down and immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.
A head.
A head with two feet was moving "click, click" under the table in front of Thor.
It was the head of a middle-aged man, his mouth still humming idly.
A head grew directly on a pair of feet. The ankles were very short, and when it walked, it looked like a penguin, but also like a duck.
It seemed a little funny, but Thor couldn't laugh because that human face was not cute at all.
Before Thor could react, he heard another voice.
"You're being lazy again." Another head popped out from under the tent.
It was the head of a middle-aged woman, with long chestnut hair dragging on the ground, rolling up small stones.
But the female head was unaware of this and she was only focused on chasing the male head.
"Lord Morton is assembling the troops. We will be setting off soon."
But the man ignored the woman and went out from the other end of the tent.
The woman's head also chased out.
From beginning to end, the two heads growing on the feet did not pay any attention to Thor.
When he came, Byron didn't mention at all that he would see such a monster in the Valley of the Hands.
Thor felt vaguely uneasy.
He walked to the tent and pulled open the curtain.
Then, Thor felt goose bumps all over his body from the soles of his feet to the hair.
Outside the tent, the whole mountain and field were filled with monsters with human heads and two legs!
