Chapter 125 Face to Face
When everyone climbed out of the cave, it was already dark outside.
Nick was absent-mindedly writing or drawing, when he saw everyone coming back, he hurried to greet them.
…
This adventurous life of going underground during the day and returning before dark lasted for five days.
Since Thor and Nick are both second-level apprentices, they have been taking turns to stay in the camp.
The human-headed monster that had appeared at the entrance of Chuishou Valley never appeared again. This also made Byron and Thor, who had been a little nervous, relax a little.
On this day, it was Thor's turn to stay behind.
Seeing that everyone had been in the cave for some time, he immediately put down the materials in his hands and started studying his own eyes.
He had not been able to fall asleep these days, and had been using deep meditation instead, so as not to accidentally enter the dreams of the people around him.
Although he might learn some secrets because of this, without fully understanding the role of the Nightmare Butterfly, rashly knowing other people's secrets would bring disaster to himself.
Thor has always kept in mind a saying in the wizarding world: "Danger comes from the unknown, and the unknown is endless."
He faced the soul wave sensor, observing and recording the frequency of the silver light flashing in his eyes.
He found that if he did not engage in semi-immersive meditation, the calluses in his eyes would not glow.
And when he entered into semi-immersive meditation, a silver light would flash in his left eye almost every minute.
But the silver light was very faint, and it would be almost impossible to detect if you didn't stare at him face to face.
Just as Thor was planning how to start his experiment after returning, the sky suddenly darkened.
A shadow slowly covered where Thor was.
Thor looked up and saw that the sky was clear and cloudless.
He looked back again and was surprised to find a huge ship on the other side of the cliff! The ship looked like an ancient three-masted sailing ship, but it was much larger than a normal sailing ship.
There was a monster painted on each of the three huge sails.
Slender ghosts, thousand-eyed banshees, and a giant flower that looks beautiful but has strange petals and stamens.
At this time, the huge sails were slowly being folded up and the huge ship gradually stopped moving.
Below the sailboat is a huge hull wrapped in white bones.
The area below is blocked by the cliff and cannot be seen clearly.
The shadow stopped spreading and the huge sailboat finally stopped.
"A giant ship sailing on land?" Thor stood up with a serious expression, "...a land-sailing boat?"
He remembered meeting Bill and Wright when Bill had just killed four people in a land boat.
Could it be that their companions came looking for them?
Thor looked at the sky. It was still early, and normally it would be a long time before Byron and the others would return.
Thor stood up and started to pack his things.
Fortunately, no one set up a tent. As long as Thor hid some small instruments, no one should be able to discover their presence here.
Regardless of whether the people traveling on the land boat were hired for those four people, it would not be safe for Thor, a second-level apprentice, to run into them.
He moved several large instruments deep into a nearby cave and laid some plants around the perimeter.
He put on his backpack and prepared to find another place to hide.
However, at this moment, the diary suddenly flew out and unfolded in front of him at an incredibly fast speed. Lines of text appeared as if it was running at four times the speed.
[New Moon Year 316, April 20
Since leaving the wizard tower, you have been living a smooth life. Now you have finally seen what the outside world is like.
You will be caught and tortured, but no matter what you say, they will eventually dig out your eyes and turn you into a flower.
"Can't get caught!" Thor immediately realized that the person who came this time would become his enemy.
He didn't have time to choose a suitable hole, so he jumped into the nearest one and ran inside as fast as he could.
“Clatter…”
Some mud and sand were brought down by Thor. He quickly stopped and lay on the ground, fearing that the sound would alarm the people on the ground.
Since the diary has popped up, it means that the enemy could have discovered him quickly.
Thor only has a few minutes at most.
But it was just these few minutes of time difference that gave Thor the opportunity to hide.
"Luckily, this place is full of caves, and they are winding and twisting inside, otherwise I really wouldn't have much chance of escaping."
Thor held his breath and looked up at the top of his head.
After turning several corners, he could no longer see the entrance to the cave. He just hoped that his actions just now did not leave any obvious traces on the ground.
At the same time, he was ready to escape at any time.
“Plop, plop, plop…”
Thor's heart was pounding.
The leader must be very powerful to be able to drive such a huge sailboat on land.
Thor could only hope that no official wizards were among them.
“Plop, plop, plop…”
The most painful thing is waiting without any signs.
The tunnel became increasingly quiet, and Thor couldn't help but raise his hand to press on his chest, his eyes still staring into the darkness ahead.
Time passes by little by little.
There was no sound from overhead.
Maybe the people outside didn't notice the traces here and left.
Thor raised his body slightly and climbed down a little further.
After descending a few meters and turning a few corners, Thor fumbled to take out a thin test tube from his backpack.
The test tube was left by Light. As long as Thor buries the worms in the test tube in the soil, Light will know that something has happened to Thor.
Thor followed the agreed plan and buried half of the insects in the soil and left the other half outside.
This means there's danger on the ground, but Thor is fine.
If the entire worm is buried, it means that Thor is asking for help.
"Huh..." After doing all this, Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, there is no need to worry about Byron and his men coming out of the dungeon defenselessly and running into the enemy.
He continued to lie on the ground for about two hours. When his stomach began to call for food, he slowly got up.
It was pitch black all around, and only the diary on his left shoulder, defying optical theory, still appeared clearly in his sight.
"Can I go up and see if I can now?"
The diary flew out, giving him an uncomfortable death.
"Okay. Hopefully they'll leave before dark. I don't want to spend the night underground."
"Can I use the glimmer technique?" Thor continued to think.
The diary flew out again.
But the content of this time made Thor's heart stop beating! [New Moon Year 316, April 20
You hide underground.
Thinking you have escaped the danger, you stand up and light up the surroundings, and then you see a head opposite you.
He grinned, revealing a row of neat red teeth.
"You found me~"
You want to run, but his neck stretches faster.
You're rolled up.
After he knew that he couldn't find anyone else through you,
I bit off half of your face. 】
Thor read the contents of the diary without blinking.
However, what he wanted to know more was whether there was a face opposite him, quietly watching his every move.
