Chapter 405 Escape and Trap
Finally found someone.
The tension in Thor's heart finally relaxed.
"I found that something happened to you, but I didn't find any signs of your spirit splitting and dissipating. I guess you might still be alive." The cutlassfish swam around the little man who looked like a black coal ball, thinking about how to get the man out.
"Senior, how did you get in? And who attacked you?"
Byron's crack told Thor the truth without hesitation, "It's Madam Euler! By the way, you didn't take the gray potion, did you?"
"Ulla... I saw the words you left on the pen, so I prepared the potion but didn't take it."
However, the diary did not give any warning about taking the potion. Thor always felt that even if there was a problem with the gray potion, it was probably targeted at a specific person, and there might not be any problems if other people took it.
"That's great." Byron breathed a sigh of relief and quickly recounted his experience.
"You pretty much know my locator. It's very flexible and can stretch and shrink."
Thor nodded secretly. He had never seen such a flexible positioning device. When it expanded, it could turn a person into a ball, and when it shrank, it looked like a hanging human skin.
Human skin?
Thor suddenly knew how Senior Byron escaped with his life.
The human skin might also be used to confuse the enemy. After all, it is just a locator, not Senior Byron's real skin!
So, Byron managed to escape under the nose of Euler, who was once a second-level wizard? What Byron said next was almost exactly what Thor thought, "But my locator has a very special ability - faking death and escaping. When I suffer a fatal attack, the locator will send me to a nearby gap, and it will appear dead to delay the enemy's discovery of me."
"Seeing your current state, I have guessed something." Thor said, "I will take you away now. It is very dangerous here and we cannot stay here forever."
Although Byron has been here for several days, it does not mean that the mezzanine is a safe place.
Those eyes may turn against you at any time.
"I'm afraid not." Byron smiled bitterly, "My skin is gone, and the original skin hasn't grown back yet. If I leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist the pollution from the outside world."
"No wonder you have been hiding here and not going out to find me." The cutlassfish swam restlessly.
But this is not a solution. Entrusting one's life to eyes that one may or may not go crazy is not Thor's style.
He circled around Byron again without responding to the other party's call to leave as soon as possible - it was obvious that Byron also understood that this place was not safe, but he was helpless.
"Oh, right, I have a witchcraft prop!" Thor had an idea. Although Byron's current body seemed to be several times larger than that prop, Thor believed that both Byron himself and that prop had excellent elasticity.
"What?"
"It's not good to mention it here. Just follow me."
"Okay." Byron agreed without hesitation this time.
At first, Thor was still thinking about how to get the person out, but he found that although Senior Byron was in a miserable condition, he was still able to move.
If he is lucky, he can stay here for three or two years and grow new "skin", and maybe he can get out on his own.
However, it is difficult to determine what will happen in the next three or two years.
The two began to move slowly.
Although I was a little worried about the eyes around me, I still couldn't make too much noise.
Thor had left a mental mark at the entrance to the mezzanine, and now they were carefully heading towards that mark.
As soon as the two people started moving, eyes from all around them would turn their attention to them from time to time.
Although they often drooped their eyelids in loss of interest after seeing a cutlassfish and a ball of charcoal, there were always one or two who continued to stare at them for some reason.
As the process progressed, more and more eyes began to pay attention to them.
Thor felt the fish meat on his body becoming more and more fragrant.
If it hadn't had no physical body, he would have probably swallowed a few times.
"Is it because the movement is too big when two people act together?" Thor kept paying attention to the eyes around him.
Byron was also very alert, but he did not speak to remind Thor to be careful. First, he believed in Thor's vigilance, and second, if he spoke, it would easily expose more of his mental strength.
At first it would have been fine if the two of them stayed still, but if they moved they would attract too much attention, so they would expose as little mental energy as possible.
But despite this, more and more eyes were staring at the two of them.
After they had been swimming for more than ten minutes, most of the eyes around them turned their gazes over.
When these gazes are cast on people, it feels like someone is poking your skin with small nails.
It doesn't hurt, but it's very uncomfortable, making people irritable and want to scream at any time.
Thor could sense that Byron behind him was also feeling uncomfortable. His mental energy was twice as much as before, and he was also feeling very unstable.
This uneasiness was also affecting Thor, making him more and more irritated, and he just wanted to attack those eyes without caring about anything!
"No! They're not paying attention to us, they're waiting too!"
Thor suddenly realized that something was wrong.
With so many eyes looking over here, it was impossible that they didn't notice them, but they didn't launch an attack. Instead, they kept staring at Thor and Byron, as if waiting for them to become unable to bear it and then be exposed.
"What are they waiting for? Are they waiting for all eyes to look over before they take action? Or are they..."
"Or are they waiting for us to become unable to bear it and attack us?"
Thor recalled that his spirit had gone crazy after being dragged into the candle pipe. If he had not been thrown out by the mouths immediately, there was no telling what would have happened to him in the end.
At that time, his mental power was still very weak and he was easily affected. Now that his mental power has exceeded that of an ordinary first-level formal wizard, he naturally won't go crazy so easily.
But the feeling of irritability still followed him like a shadow, and he seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing throughout his body.
But he is clearly in spirit form now, where does the blood come from? Thor controlled the hairtail to turn around suddenly and use the fish head to butt up Byron's body.
He carefully passed through with a wave that only two people could clearly feel, "Senior, don't move, I'll push you."
Byron struggled a little, but quickly calmed his increasingly irritated mood.
He suppressed his speech and just nodded his head.
"Senior Byron is really on the verge of exploding!" Thor was terrified. "The diary doesn't have any hints because if Senior Byron explodes, I can escape, but he can't!"
These eyes did not move towards Senior Byron at first, but that did not necessarily mean they really did not notice him.
They are probably also waiting for Senior Byron to recover.
After all, unripe fruits are often bitter.
Thinking of this, Thor immediately sped up to minimize the consumption of Senior Byron.
As long as Senior Byron tried his best to stay still and control his mind with all his strength, they would be able to hold on until they leave.
But by doing this, Thor clearly exposed the fact that he had discovered the trap set by the eyes.
Those eyes immediately widened, and a feeling of being watched that almost became real immediately pressed on Thor and Byron! In this case, Thor didn't pretend anymore. He simply used his mental power to support a "Spirit Armor Technique", and instantly the uncomfortable feeling on his body subsided a lot! At the same time, Senior Byron in front of him was obviously relieved a lot because of this "Spirit Armor Technique" constructed by mental power.
Not only that, Thor swam forward with all his strength.
Without the pressure of being watched, he swam faster.
He just used his mental power to cast spells, and the noise was like a firecracker, instantly attracting the attention of everyone here.
Thor suddenly felt that the consumption of his mental energy was increasing.
Fortunately, he has enough mental strength.
The journey that originally took more than ten minutes was compressed into five minutes, and the coordinates left by Thor when he came in were already in sight.
Those eyes obviously knew that the two were about to run away.
A few of them blinked, and suddenly a black light shot out from their pupils! The exit was in sight, and the other eyes began to blink.
Thor could only sprint forward while increasing his mental power output again.
"boom--"
Several black rays of light hit the spiritual armor spell, and the witchcraft lasted only three to five seconds before it shattered!
Fortunately, Thor rushed out of the marked exit with Byron in his arms! Thank you readers for your tips! (End of this chapter)
