Chapter 270 Searching for the Ship
Thor narrowed his eyes and looked up at the sky above the town wall, but he did not see any barrier to block his arrows.
His semi-immersive meditation method was great for observing spirits and pollution, but not so great for curses.
In that case, he simply used his naked eyes to carefully observe the air above the town wall.
Finally, he vaguely saw a layer of transparent, plastic-like shell between the inside and outside of the town.
This outer shell extends upward from the city wall and converges in the air to form a hemispherical cover.
But it is not actually hemispherical.
Thor walked to the bottom of the city wall and quickly dug a half-meter deep hole.
The ground below the city wall also touched a transparent barrier.
"There's nowhere for us to escape." Thor turned to Billy and said, "Senior, do you have any more powerful attacks?"
Angela jumped out, "Let's all use our strongest attacks and attack at the same time. Maybe we can break through the tolerance limit of this transparent wall."
Unexpectedly, Billy shook his head.
"I just observed the transparent wall being attacked and concluded that this wall can withstand concentrated attacks several times stronger than those of the Corrosive Claws." He glanced at the two of them. "If any of you can cast a level 3 spell or have a corresponding spell scroll, you can try it. Otherwise, don't waste your magic power."
"If we can't break it violently, then there should be other ways to leave, right?" Thor walked back and shook the dirt off his palms. "Can we only break the barrier if we break this curse?"
"In theory, that's right." Bill nodded slightly.
The next second, Thor and Billy looked towards the center of the town, in the direction of the clock tower.
Angela saw what Thor and Billy were doing, and her heart sank. "Should we...still go over there?"
Deep down she wasn't willing to take risks, so her first reaction was actually to find a place to hide.
"Unless you can stay in the air, there's nowhere to hide," Billy said coldly.
Thor thought of what the ghosts had said to him after he came in, as well as the sound of the tide getting closer and closer, "Are you referring to the sound of water?"
Billy nodded. "I once read about a curse in a book about curses. The pattern is very similar to the one here."
"What?" Angela's eyes lit up immediately, "Doesn't that mean you already have a way to leave here?"
Billy ignored Angela and said to Thor, "That curse is called the Black Tide of Destruction. It refers to the black tide that corrodes everything and cleanses all living and dead souls in a designated area. But the problem now is that the tide I just saw was blood red."
“Blood red?” Thor’s mind was moved. “It seems that they have encountered the wave. But I have been here longer, and I have only heard the sound of the wave. What did they do to actually encounter it head-on?”
Although he thought so, Thor pretended to be still frightened.
"In that case, perhaps we can refer to the method to break the curse." Thor said.
"That's what I thought." Billy nodded. "The way to break the curse of the World-Destroying Black Tide is, first, to violently destroy the energy of the curse, and second, to find a 'ship' that can survive the outbreak of the curse and leave."
"But the curse of the World-Destroying Black Tide requires at least a formal wizard to break it violently. In terms of pure attack power, even if we add up, it's not enough."
"Then we can only try the second method." Thor said, "Although this is not a black tide but a red tide, it is still something we can't resist. If we want to find a suitable 'ship'..."
"To the bell tower," Billy replied.
Thor looked at him and knew that they had thought the same thing.
"Do we really have to go back? But didn't we just escape from there?" Angela clenched her hands nervously, "What if we encounter those red tides again?"
"We just heard the sound of water and didn't really see the red wave." Billy said, "If we encounter it head-on this time, we have to find a way to go around it."
After the discussion, the three of them no longer hesitated and ran towards the clock tower together.
Angela didn't run fast and deliberately fell behind, thinking that if there was any danger, she would let them take it first.
However, at this moment, she suddenly found that Thor took out a small object from his sleeve and gestured with it.
Because half of his energy was devoted to other things, Thor's running speed was obviously not as fast as before.
"Does he also want Billy to be in the front?" Angela was a little curious. Suddenly she wanted to know what Thor was doing. She twisted her neck to glance at Thor's hand.
I saw that Sol seemed to have a golden coin in his hand, and he was scraping the coin with something.
Just as Angela was becoming more and more curious about what Thor was doing at the critical moment, the sound of waves sounded again.
But this time it was not just sound.
Thor took the time to look up and finally saw what a bloody wave was.
He had only heard the sound but never seen the person. The sound of the approaching tide made him realize that he was not far from encountering the red wave.
Countless bright red waves surged towards the tower from the streets in all directions like a tsunami.
The largest wave can be more than 10 meters high. No one knows where it hides before the tide appears.
Wherever the waves passed, doors and windows broke, houses collapsed, and debris and vehicles on the street were picked up by the waves and carried forward.
In those red waves, Thor even saw several luxurious carriages and some exotic clothes.
"It seems that the ordinary people who accidentally enter the town don't have a good ending. Of course, it may not be accidental..."
Thor just took a look and then lowered his head to continue working on his ancient coins.
But in order to speed up, he summoned the algae from the back of his neck, split it into four parts, turned it into four thighs, directly hung Thor up, and ran away quickly.
Xiaozao is very agile, and with Thor hanging like this, his speed is even faster than when he runs at full speed.
In order to avoid being hit by the red tide that obviously had lethal power, and to get to the clock tower as quickly as possible, the three of them began to show their magical powers.
Billy flew straight up.
Flying is an essential auxiliary magic for almost every third-level wizard apprentice.
But flying is a level 2 magic, and Thor has no chance to learn it, so he still asks Xiaozao to speed up.
Xiaozao lifted Thor up again and his tentacles began to crawl along the wall.
Two shadows that looked like children appeared on her feet. The two shadows held her calves, as if helping her run hard.
But speed is not Angela's strong point. Even though those evil spirits are trying their best to help Angela for their own stock, her speed is still the slowest among the three.
Angela's running speed was indeed not slow, but it was not as fast as Billy and Saul.
Suddenly, when they were about to approach the clock tower, a red tide surged out from both sides of the intersection ahead, about to meet in front of them and block the three people's way.
At the critical moment, Billy suddenly landed at a low altitude, hugged Angela and brought her into the air.
Billy's speed was influenced by Angela and became slightly slower than Thor, so Thor had safely crossed the intersection before them.
Billy's flying altitude and speed were greatly affected.
Especially the height. He was flying so high that he could no longer carry Angela over the crest of the red tide ahead.
Seeing that he and Angela were about to be caught by the tides on both sides, Angela was so scared that she closed her eyes.
But he still didn't let go of Angela.
He tried his best to mobilize his magic power and finally increased his speed a little. The two of them flew past dangerously before the blood waves merged.
Seeing this scene, Thor was thoughtful.
Especially when I saw that Angela, who was rescued, was very used to Billy's help, I knew that this kind of thing had happened more than once or twice.
But if we say that Billy helped Angela because they had feelings for each other, it would be better to believe that Billy was a kind-hearted person with an ugly face.
Getting used to being helped by others is not a good thing. Even if you tell yourself to be independent in your heart, you are prone to unconscious dependence in your body.
Thor noticed again that Angela's right leg was trembling slightly.
Although Billy had just led him away from the waves, some water still splashed onto his calves.
Seeing her painful expression, Thor confirmed again, "We must not be touched by this red tide. If we are really swallowed by the tide... we will probably become part of the tide."
