Chapter 361: Not an Illusion
Then Mark pushed Thor and ran without saying anything, warning him that if he didn't want to live, he could stop.
Thor didn't just stand there and wait. Before he knew the strength of the enemy and himself, he didn't intend to run away like cannon fodder in a horror movie.
Of course, the Mark in front of him was not normal either, but the energy coming from him was that of a real third-level apprentice.
Thor thought that beating up a third-level apprentice would be easy for him now.
What's more, there are four consciousnesses around him.
So, even though Thor was running in a panic now - because the flying technique could only allow him to get three to five meters off the ground at most, and the towering ancient trees around him were dozens or hundreds of meters high, with uneven branches and tangled vines, so he could not fly as fast as he could run - he was still calm in his heart.
Several consciousness containers could store even less magic power, and they all ran wildly behind Thor with expressionless faces.
And while running, Mark specifically reminded Thor not to use his mental power easily here.
Saul understood what Mark meant.
Just now, he simply detected the energy fluctuations in Mark's body and found that his spiritual body began to vibrate.
This small-amplitude oscillation did not subside over time, but maintained its original frequency.
Although it does not prevent Thor from performing witchcraft at present, if the tremors intensify and cannot be recovered, Thor will sooner or later lose his greatest reliance - soul fishing and consciousness platform.
They ran for a long time, almost an hour, before they stopped to rest on an empty meadow.
Even with their transformed bodies, the two third-level wizard apprentices were still exhausted and out of breath.
The containers were calm, as they ran solely on energy, not their lungs.
Even if you run too much, you will consume magic crystals.
"When did Senior Mark get promoted to level three? I haven't congratulated you yet." Thor paused for a few dozen seconds, then straightened up and asked.
Mark looked over, his expression still lively, "There's nothing to congratulate, if you stay in the Elf Valley for ten days or half a month, you will also be able to get a substantial improvement."
Thor admitted that after experiencing weightlessness just now, he found that the concentration of elemental particles in the new world was terrifyingly high and surprisingly active.
Even when he wasn't meditating, the elemental particles that were suitable for him were jumping into his body one after another.
After running for a while, he felt that his magic power had increased a little.
But Thor believed that all gifts had already been marked with a price in secret. Such an easy upgrade method must contain huge hidden dangers.
When Mark stopped at an open area on the grass where the sun could shine directly, he asked curiously, "Have we gotten rid of the enemy? Will we be too conspicuous in this place?"
Mark shook his head and smiled, "This is our safe zone. Only in an open place like this will you not be suddenly patted on the shoulder by someone."
Thor began to look around the small open space with a diameter of less than 5 meters.
Mark reminded him, "Don't think about cutting down trees. If you create open space artificially, what you cut down may not be a tree."
Thor looked back in surprise. He had indeed had this thought just now.
"Are you saying that what I saw in Fairy Hollow might have been an illusion?"
"No, it's not an illusion. Those plants and even the grass under your feet may be sleeping spirits."
"Ah?" Thor lowered his head in surprise, raised his foot and saw a branch broken by his step at the sole of his foot.
Elves, are they so worthless? "It's okay to destroy them naturally during small movements. The plants here also follow the laws of nature, growing, aging, and decaying. But big movements will wake them up. When I was clearing the way just now, I never used a knife to chop down the trees and vines that blocked the road, did I?"
"Is that so?" Thor squatted down and gently picked up the branch that he had broken.
The broken end of the branch is the same as a normal one. The color in the middle of the broken branch is the freshest, and gradually darkens and ages to become bark on the outside.
Thor squinted carefully and didn't see anything unusual on the branches.
He slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the open space, and stretched out his hand toward a towering tree that was as thick as a man's embrace.
"Be careful!" Mark reminded him from behind.
But Thor couldn't just listen to what Mark said; he had to use his own eyes and perception to observe this new world.
Otherwise, you will be led by the nose by others.
Mark seemed to understand Thor's worries, so he just reminded Thor but did not stop him.
Thor placed his hand on the trunk and observed the texture and branches of the tree again.
Still nothing was found.
But there was no way Mark would tease him with such a lame excuse.
This is the Elf Valley, a place where it is said that there is no return.
"Senior Mark," Thor's palm was still pressed on the tree trunk, and he turned around and asked Mark, "Since it is temporarily safe now, can you tell me..."
Thor's voice suddenly stopped in the middle of his words because he suddenly felt the rough bark under his palm turn into soft and delicate skin in an instant.
The change in touch lasted too short a time, and before Thor turned back in surprise, it had turned back into a solid tree trunk.
Thor pulled his hand back abruptly, his fingers still remembering the warmth and softness of the skin.
His heart was pounding and he took two steps back.
"Feel it, right?" Mark didn't mean to laugh at him. When he first came in, he was not much stronger than Thor.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm hallucinating. Are these big trees, flowers, and vines in front of me elves standing there in different postures? They may just have their eyes closed. When they open their eyes, they will see us breaking into the valley."
There was a hint of fear in Mark's voice.
Obviously, staying in this place for a long time also made him nervous.
Agu came over and carefully checked the trunk, but he didn't find anything.
"Master?" Although Agu had no expression on his face, there was doubt in his voice.
Saul calmed down.
Here you need to learn to relax, accept all the abnormalities you see, and treat them as ordinary things in your daily life.
This will prevent the mental fluctuations from being too great and causing mental body shock.
In the Elf Valley, shocks cannot be recovered.
After calming down, Thor suddenly realized that Penny was missing.
He had no way of asking other people if they had seen Penny.
Because the four consciousnesses are in a semi-independent state after leaving the consciousness platform, they are unable to see the nightmare butterfly that only exists in Thor's vision.
"Xiao Zao?" Thor called out Xiao Zao, but Xiao Zao looked around and found nothing.
Thor opened the diary in his spirit body again.
The silver bookmark was gone, but he felt that he could force it back if he called out to Penny, but Thor blinked and didn't do it.
I guess Penny also knows that it has not escaped the control of the diary, so it must have encountered something if it did not appear at this time.
This may not be a bad thing for Thor.
Thor decided to wait quietly. If Penny called him for help through the diary, it would not be too late to pull Die back.
He let out a long sigh, making himself look as if he had just recovered from the shock.
"Senior Mark, let's continue the topic just now."
Mark understood what Thor meant. He nodded, sat down cross-legged, and tried to relax his limbs.
Thor followed suit and sat down, while the four consciousnesses still stood around him, as if on guard.
Mark looked up at the four people and sighed, "As expected of the tower master's personal apprentice, he can even bring bodyguards with him when he goes out."
Thor didn't explain, and Mark just sighed.
"I've been through so much in the past few months. Where do I begin?"
Saul stared at Mark.
"Let's start with your strange state outside the Elf Valley and the reason why you returned to normal after entering the valley."
