Chapter 121 I Can Float Down
Thor heard a series of faint and vague sounds in his ears, but no matter how hard he listened, he could not understand their meaning.
He unconsciously took another step forward, but soon realized that it was the pollution that was tempting him.
Thor consciously looked away to reduce the impact of the pollution, but the sound in his ears suddenly became louder.
He raised his head and looked across the cliff.
On those cliffs, regardless of whether there were caves or not, there were numerous densely packed white arms extending out.
Those arms kept stretching and waving, with their five fingers spread out and their shapes looking ferocious.
Thor frowned, he was now sure that these hands were calling for help.
He seemed to be able to see through these hands the countless corpses buried in the mountain walls, and see these once extremely powerful wizard apprentices and wizards, but in the face of even more powerful and strange existences, they were still buried in despair and helplessness.
Thor suddenly understood what a wizard's burial ground meant, and what it meant that the western region had become a vacuum zone for wizards.
That was a cruelty that Sol could not have imagined in Byron's few casual words.
The dead that appeared on the cliff before us were probably just a small part of the entire Chuishou Valley.
Those arms could not make a sound, and could only wave them desperately to attract other people's attention, hoping to be saved.
But Thor was very aware that those arms were not even soul fragments. They were just the polluted resentment left by the dead under the radiation of witchcraft.
After looking for a long time, Thor had an illusion that he was not standing at the bottom of the valley looking at the towering steep cliffs, but flying high in the sky, ruthlessly watching the dead who were buried underground and unable to break free.
Thor shook his head and felt that his spirit body was a little unstable.
"Thor? Thor?"
Suddenly someone called him. Thor was startled and came to his senses, seeing that everyone was looking at him.
It was Nick who called him, "What's wrong with you? They're all leaving."
It seems that Byron and his team have already chosen the entrance.
But Thor rubbed his swollen head and said to the three seniors: "There are some abnormalities in these caves on the cliff behind us."
Byron knew Thor's abilities best, so he immediately walked back and carefully observed the mountain wall that he had not noticed at first.
Wright looked at Thor, then at the quiet mountains, and asked doubtfully, "Didn't they say that the bodies of the wizards were all underground? How come they moved to the side?"
"Thor is very good at observing spirits." Byron retracted his gaze, "I trust him very much."
Bill listened, squinted his eyes and smiled: "I'm not good at this, but if you can determine which cave is more likely to have a spirit, I will listen to you."
Byron directly gave the choice to Thor, "Thor, which cave do you think is most obviously polluted?"
Thor wanted to say that the entire mountain wall was unusual.
However, he still observed the cave in front of him again, endured the restlessness of his spiritual body, and carefully looked for the differences in it.
When Bill saw Thor's expression, he narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wright clapped his hands and whispered, "Is he observing a spirit? I heard that some people with particularly sensitive mental powers can directly observe the remnants of souls without any instruments. Could it be that Thor can do that?"
Byron said nothing, which was considered as his tacit agreement with Wright's guess.
Thor scanned several nearby caves and finally stopped at one.
He raised his hand and pointed at a cave about three meters above the ground and just over one meter in diameter.
"Here, the pollution here is more serious. The possibility of evil spirits is greater."
Although Wright still didn't understand anything, he still sighed: "Thor, the way you just looked is exactly like the way my mentor examined the petri dish."
"Your mentor?"
"Professor Anze." Wright had a complicated expression, as if he was recalling something. "I'm only good at fighting, not doing experiments. The expression on Professor Anze's face when he looked at my lab report... was really scary."
Bill laughed and said, "If you play with women less, maybe your brain will work better."
Wright rolled his eyes. "I never play with women. I always communicate with them seriously."
Nick was still fiddling with the sensor, but he didn't find anything else. He could only sigh, "If someone says that wizards with only mental talents but no magical talents are useless, I will definitely use you as an example to refute them."
Bill was the most anxious and said immediately, "Since it has been confirmed, what are we waiting for? Let's go now."
Byron walked up to Thor and patted him on the shoulder, "Follow me on the road."
The four of them immediately chose the cave three meters above the ground, bent down and walked in, leaving only Nick in the camp.
Nick watched Wright, who was walking at the end of the team, disappear into the cave, but he still stood there.
His hands were clasped tightly together, and he did not look as calm as he appeared.
Because Bill and Wright are both third-level apprentices, Nick cannot use summons in front of them.
"Thor..." He could only secretly remind himself in his heart, "Be sure to follow Byron closely."
…
The cave that Thor chose was not spacious, and moving inside the mountain was still more difficult than he had imagined.
After all, this is not a normal passage. Some places are spacious, while some are so narrow that even Thor can't get through.
When encountering such a place, Wright would take action.
He majored in earth element and was very comfortable moving underground.
After extending smoothly for a distance on the side of the mountain, it immediately takes a sharp turn downward.
There were some steep places where Thor could only stick his hands deep into the soil on the side to maintain his balance.

It was pitch black beneath everyone's feet, and they had no idea how far the downward passage was.
Bill, who was walking in the second place, kept using the low-light technique, but it could only illuminate an area of a few meters nearby.
Farther away, even with Thor's current eyesight, he could only see a blurry shadow.
After walking for about half an hour, Wright, who was in the front, suddenly stopped.
"No, there is a deep downward passage ahead, and the angle is almost vertical."
He threw a stone down.
The stone rolled for a long time, bumping and rolling.
"I'm afraid we have to fly down from here. Climbing would be a waste of time."
"Fly?" Bill's voice sounded, "Thor, there's no need to ask, Byron, have you learned the Feather Fall Technique?"
Byron's whole body trembled, and his whole body suddenly shrank.
His throat cracked. “I can float down.”
Before Thor could figure out how Senior Byron was going to float, he saw the senior's mouth, which was as dry as human skin, suddenly grow longer, his lips opened and closed a few times, and then he took a deep breath.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
In just a few seconds, his whole body swelled up.
His skin was stretched almost to its limit, and continued to swell until it turned into a long human-shaped balloon.
Then he raised his two hands, which were as swollen as pig's trotters, and tied a knot around his mouth with difficulty.
Even Bill and Wright were stunned by this operation.
Byron ignored the two men, moved his body with difficulty, and flicked his lips at Thor.
"Uh-huh."
Perhaps it was a tacit understanding, Thor immediately understood what Byron meant.
"Senior...you want me to grab your mouth and float down together?"
"Um!"
“Poof—” Wright was the first to lose his guard. He covered his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn’t breathe. “Byron, Byron, why didn’t I find you so funny before? If only I had your ability…”
Wright's voice stopped abruptly, and he suddenly stroked his chin and began to think.
Bill immediately gave the thoughtful Wright a push and said, "Since they have a way to get down, let's go!"
Wright was not paying attention and was pushed down the tunnel by Bill. But judging from the sound, he did not fall freely.
Bill looked back at Byron and said, "If you can't carry Thor, I can take him down with me."
Byron flicked his mouth sideways.
Bill curled his lips, didn't try to persuade her anymore, and just jumped down.
