Chapter 558 It will be ready soon
Thor followed the group of blindfolded people and went deep into the forest.
After turning several turns, a wizard apprentice appeared in front of them.
He went forward to check the condition of the seven people, then led them into a cave.
There were two wizards inside the cave. When they saw people, they directed them to stand in small earth pits half a meter high.
Thor was standing just outside the cave, his figure hidden behind the rocks.
His mental power was much higher than that of the people inside, and they couldn't detect Thor's existence at all.
However, the warning circle at the entrance of the cave also prevented Thor from entering directly for the time being.
Thor looked inside and saw that the legs of the seven blindfolded men had been buried in the ground, and the other wizards had all moved away from them.
After a few minutes, one of the blindfolded men showed a look of pain on his face, and gradually the others also began to twist their faces in pain.
But after just a few dozen seconds, the pain on the seven people's faces disappeared and their expressions became numb again.
Thor's eyes followed their faces and gradually moved to their legs covered by soil.
"The ants are in the soil... They want these ants to enter their bodies and bite them, leaving formic acid. Then they can extract the necessary substances from ordinary people's bodies to make spirit reading candles."
"They extract formic acid here, and it's not very covert. In other words, the extraction step is not important. What's really important is how they re-extract non-toxic formic acid from ordinary people's bodies and make it into candles that can activate the brain."
The secret of secondary extraction must be in the hands of the great wizard.
Thor was not prepared to take the risk of snatching it.
He is not yet at the point where he needs drugs to activate his brain to learn.
Those who really need spirit-reading candles are often wizards and apprentices who have been stuck at a certain level, have not been promoted for a long time, and have begun to suffer from the backlash of knowledge.
It seems that most of the wizards in the Bandi Court he visited today are in this situation.
At this time, the wizards inside were talking in low voices.
“Why are there so few ants today?”
"Maybe they haven't been very hungry recently."
"Come on. The Great Wizard only allows us to build seven meat nests each time, isn't it to prevent the ants from moving too much food at once?"
The voices of conversation quickly died down again.
Thor didn't get any other information, so he just left.
"Could it be that the old witch really mistook the bow-back termites for quicksand termites? Although her brain isn't very good, her eyesight should be fine." Thor was a little helpless.
If there are no quicksand termites here, not only will he have made a wasted trip, but he will also temporarily lose other clues about the quicksand termites.
If he really can't find quicksand termites, he can only find some substitutes.
But these alternatives are either dangerous or more scarce and difficult to obtain.
Thor walked into the ancient forest, thinking about whether to continue searching nearby or go back directly.
Suddenly, his pocket vibrated.
Thor reached into his pocket and frowned immediately.
He touched the candle that Kismet had put in.
At the same time, I also touched a piece of paper!
Thor confirmed that there was definitely no paper in his pocket.
He pulled his hand out, holding the paper between his fingertips.
There was a sentence written on the paper.
"I have the golden pages. House number four, row four."
"This guy!" Thor took a deep breath. Kismet definitely did it on purpose.
The importance of a golden page is self-evident. Even if Kismet is going to play some tricks, Thor will go and try.
He walked quickly outside and soon reached the edge of the woods.
However, he met the boy again here.
The other party was hiding behind a tree, looking hesitantly in the direction of the settlement.
"If you go back, both you and your father will die."
The boy was startled by Thor's voice.
I turned around and saw it was him, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, I don't want to go back. I just can't bear to leave my father and brother behind... If I leave this time, I may never see them again. Besides, I entered this settlement with my father when I was very young and have never left. I don't know where to go."
Thor raised his hand and pointed in a direction. "Go over there. In two days, you'll come across another settlement. Of course, that could just be another prison."
Thor didn't know how these ordinary people got into the Borderland.
Maybe the wizards here just need some ordinary people to undertake the most basic labor.
"Sir, may I know your name?" The boy's eyes were full of emotion.
But Thor ignored him.
Passing the boy and walking out of the forest, Thor re-entered the settlement before dark.
The old man with the flowerpot recognized Thor.
After all, there are not many wizards who can have Kismet as their introducer.
He let Thor in directly.
Thor did not ask the old man with the flowerpot for directions, but instead just found an ordinary person in the settlement.
When these people saw Thor's clothes, they enthusiastically showed him the way and even wanted to take him there personally, but Thor refused.
Soon he arrived at room 4, row 4.
The door here opens easily with a push, and it looks like a careless owner has just left.
The room was not big, and when Thor came in, he saw a note nailed to the opposite wall.
There were only four words written on it:
It will be ready soon.
Thor's expression changed and he immediately turned around and was about to leave.
But as soon as he stepped out of the room, he heard a scream from the street.
Then, the dusk overhead suddenly changed color.
Thor walked to the street and looked up to see a huge green arched barrier appearing above the settlement's wall.
Wizards with quick reactions can use the flying spell to rush into the sky.
But before he could get close, a stream of green smoke suddenly spurted out from the barrier and sprayed directly on the wizard's face.
The latter soon flew back to the ground screaming.
Before anyone could react, another loud noise was heard.
The sound was so loud that it could even be heard echoing in this green protective shield.
Thor flew directly to the rooftop, and then he saw that the Pandi Court he had just visited had collapsed! "What happened in the Pandi Court?"
This is the question almost everyone has.
Several wizards immediately flew low, avoiding the green barrier above their heads, and quickly rushed towards the Bandi Court.
But Thor's first reaction was to run towards the door immediately.
He already knew what "coming soon" meant.
Kismet actually wanted to create a golden page here! But the cause of the golden page is very complicated. Can a small settlement give birth to a golden page?
Thor ran while thinking.
Although the enemy has not appeared yet, Thor believes in Kismet's ability to cause trouble.
Just then, a "buzzing" sound suddenly appeared behind me.
The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the settlement.
Thor looked back and saw a giant white ant in midair. It had two pairs of wings behind it, flapping rapidly, leaving only an afterimage.
The ant's body is at least five meters long, and its huge mouthparts can make people feel the cold light from it even from a long distance, as if it will clamp the ant in half in the next second.
Looking closely, there was actually a person sitting on top of the ant!
A dark-skinned man was sitting on the joint behind the termite's head, holding something in his hands.
Thor squinted his eyes and gradually saw the details in the distance.
What the man was holding in his hand was actually the head of Dolly, the pregnant woman that Thor had seen before!
