Chapter 269 Bell Ringing
Billy gritted his teeth, his face extremely ugly, "The tomb formation outside is not a ritual to assist the curse. It is simply a bait, a bait that makes people who know some knowledge of curse cultivation unable to resist stepping in."
Seeing Billy so angry for the first time, Angela's expression gradually became serious. "Is it so dangerous? Even you are not sure?"
Although she felt that she had experienced many crises during the days away from the tower, Billy seemed to be at ease every time and had never been as solemn as today.
Billy turned around while running and looked at Angela with complicated eyes, which made the latter's heart skip a beat.
"I will protect you." After saying that, he took Angela and turned into another road.
Strangely, as soon as they stepped into the new street, the sound of the tide behind them disappeared.
Billy stopped and looked back into the alley.
The red stream that was chasing after the two people at the alley entrance also disappeared.
Billy frowned, thinking about the reason for triggering the curse, when he suddenly heard Angela beside him exclaim.
"Thor, why are you here?"
Thor had just come out of the house where the wandering wizard's apprentice lived.
He looked down at the small cloth bag in his hand and sighed in his heart.
"We do have some stock of Grinding Fruit here, but unfortunately most of them have already rotted. I picked and chose and only got about 10. So, if we want to do a long-term consciousness platform experiment, these Grinding Fruits can only last for two times at most."
Maybe there were stocks somewhere else, but there was no way Thor could stay in the small town forever.
He did not forget the death warning issued by the diary before.
The longer you stay and the more places you explore, the more likely you are to accidentally "stray behind the scenes."
"Anyway, I've already got some. Maybe after two more experiments, I can completely turn the diary into my locator. Now I'd better think of a way to leave. I wonder where Mochi-Mochi ran off to." Thor had just thought of this when he suddenly heard the sound of a bell echoing.
"Is there a clock tower in this town?" Saul recalled for a moment, "It seems there is one."
Almost every town has a bell tower like this for summoning civilians, so Thor didn't pay much attention to it last time.
When Thor heard the bell, he didn't plan to join in the fun. Instead, he ran in the opposite direction of the bell - the entrance to the town.
He was not greedy, he came to this place just to find the Mosheng fruit. Now that the fruit was in his hands, it was time to leave.
As for Mochi-Mochi?
The other party may not want to leave.
Now there should be only him and Mochimochi in the town.
The bell sound just now was probably made by Mochimochi. And seeing that he separated from Thor on purpose, it was clear that he might not welcome Thor to come over.
So, Thor walked out of this luxurious residential area without hesitation and ran directly to the widest avenue in the center of the town, preparing to rush to the town gate along the widest road.
However, just as he stepped onto the main road, he saw two people turning out from the alley diagonally opposite.
It turned out to be Billy and Angela.
"Why are they here?" Thor's mind raced.
Before he could make a decision, Angela on the opposite side looked up and saw Thor at a glance.
"Thor, why are you here?"
Hearing Angela's call, Billy turned his head and looked over instantly.
He had been so focused on analyzing the red tide that he hadn't noticed there were other people on the street.
But Billy was not as surprised as Angela to see Saul.
It seems that it is not difficult to understand why Thor appears here.
Since they had already collided head-on, Thor didn't try to avoid it.
"I'm leaving here, what about you?" Thor immediately expressed that he had no intention of fighting for the source of the curse in the town.
The strange phenomenon in the town has not disappeared. Since Mochi Mochi can see from the tomb array outside that there is a source of curse here, then Billy, who has a higher reputation than him among the third-level apprentices, cannot fail to see it.
Billy is a third-level apprentice who can make Master Gudo depressed.
But to Thor's surprise, Billy made the same decision as him.
"We're leaving too."
Angela looked at Saul, then at Billy, and finally stood in the middle with her hands spread out and said, "That's great, let's go together."
In Angela's opinion, Billy is a senior third-level apprentice, and Thor is the student of the tower master. Both of them are very powerful.
If this town was as scary as Billy said, she would have a better chance of escaping if she worked with these two outstanding apprentices.
But Angela's left hand was not as happy as she was.
It nervously grabbed Angela's clothes on her chest and seemed to be the most nervous one at the scene.
Thor was stunned. He didn't expect that their purpose was not to find the source of the curse.
The latter nodded to Thor with a gloomy face, agreeing with Angela's proposal.
At this time, another bell rang, and the three of them turned their heads to look at the same time.
At the end of this avenue, there is a small square. Opposite the square is an old clock tower that is not very tall.
From their angle, they could just see the bell on the top of the bell tower shaking.
There was a rope connected to the bottom of the bell, and it was obvious that shaking the rope would drive the clapper inside to strike and make a sound.
But they did not see the person who rang the bell.
As the bell rang, the sound of the waves once again surrounded Thor like a stereo.
This time, the sound was closer.
Seems to be nearby!
Thor knew that if he stayed any longer, he would be hit head-on by the red tide.
"Let's go." Thor called out and immediately ran towards the town gate.
Angela had been keeping an eye on the two men, and when she saw Saul running first, she followed without hesitation. She felt that since both she and Saul had run away, Billy couldn't possibly stay there.
Sure enough, the next second, footsteps were heard behind her.
The three of them ran wildly all the way, and no one cared about their manners at this time.
Fortunately, after they ran a few hundred meters, they left the sound of the waves behind them.
They followed the same path back to the town's entrance.
However, the city gate that appeared in front of everyone was intact, and a square wooden stake nearly two meters long was inserted obediently on the door bolt.
Angela covered her mouth in surprise. "How could it be? When we came in, the door was clearly corroded. How come it's intact again?"
"Was the gate intact when you came?" Thor also stared at the city gate, "But when Mochimochi and I came in, we also broke the gate."
"This is not surprising. Since it is a cage for catching people, the cage door must be locked." Billy said coldly.
As the strongest person present, he did not hide his weakness and went straight forward to try to open the door.
He placed one hand on the city gate and released a light green gas just like when he came in.
However, the gas that had successfully corroded the door when it came in hit a wall this time.
They are floating outside the gate and seem to have touched the gate, but there is no effect.
Billy inhaled the gas and suddenly moved closer to observe the gap between his hand and the door.
Then, with a gloomy face, he launched a more powerful corrosive claw at the gate.
The pale green eagle claw hand struck the door hard.
However, the door did not move at all, not even leaving any trace.
After several useless attacks, the Corrosive Claws dissipated helplessly.
Angela was about to say something when she suddenly saw Thor releasing an arrow spell towards the top of the city wall.
But it was not too unexpected that the arrow hit an invisible barrier with a "ding" sound, broke into two pieces, and fell inside the town.
"It seems like we've really been locked in a cage." Thor muttered.
