Chapter 598: Infiltration
Feng Yao dismissed the others and told them not to come in unless it was urgent.
However, before she could carry out her order, she was interrupted by one of her subordinates who suddenly broke in.
"Lord Wind Demon, there's a headless knight outside, and he killed Brent right away!"
Brent is a first-level wizard patrolling below the cliff.
His strength is also outstanding among the first level.
"Headless Horseman?" The Wind Demon frowned at first, then thought of someone, "Brando?"
The others had never seen Brando and could not give the wind demon an accurate answer.
The wind demon looked down at what he had just acquired, and was somewhat puzzled as to why Brando suddenly appeared and killed people without saying a word.
Could it be that he had discovered something? In any case, she would not go out to see Brando now.
The wind demon turned his head and asked the maid, "How many second-level wizards are there here now?"
The maid usually helps the wind demon with chores, so she knows this very well. "There were four of them before, but after you left with three second-level wizards, only Lord Barron came back. But no one knows where Lord Barron went. Now, there is only one second-level wizard in the entire cliff, Lord Johnny."
"Why is it so little?" Feng Yao frowned.
Although second-level wizards are not common in the Unknown Land, there were once nine second-level wizards in the Wind Demon at the same time. That was also the time when the Wind Demon was the most powerful.
However, in the later struggle with the Firefly Lord, the second-level wizards gradually suffered casualties, and in the end only six were left.
Two of the six people went out.
And when they attacked the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower a few days ago, they unexpectedly lost two people, and Barron was missing.
As a result, there was only one second-level wizard in Feng Yao's place! Feng Yao suddenly realized that there were only so few forces left under her.
But the more urgent it was, the more determined Feng Yao was to build the magic pool as soon as possible! It didn't matter if she didn't have a few second-level wizards under her command for the time being. As long as she was strong enough, she could become a big force alone!
Thinking of this, the Wind Demon made a decision, "Let Johnny bring more people. No matter what means he uses, kill Brando and bring back his body."
The maid said worriedly: "Master Johnny's fighting ability is not outstanding among second-level wizards..."
She actually hoped that Lord Wind Demon would do it himself, and then no matter who the knight was, he would become Lord Wind Demon's collection.
Looking at the maid's hopeful eyes, Feng Yao knew what she was thinking.
But how could she possibly go out at this time? "Does it mean that I need to personally fight every time an enemy appears on the cliff? What's the point of raising you then?"
After Feng Yao finished speaking, he didn't even give the others a chance to persuade him, and just walked away.
The remaining few people looked at each other, thinking of the urgent situation outside, and had no choice but to go find Johnny, the only second-level wizard still on the cliff.
Not to mention how this group of people found Johnny helplessly, let’s just talk about the wind demon. At this time, she had already walked out of her room and hurried deeper into the cave.
When she walked through the long passage and came to a place where there was no one else, she suddenly stopped and casually left a mark with her personal mental power on the wall beside her.
A magical scene appeared. Where there was a wall, another passage appeared.
After the wind demon walked into the passage, the entrance turned into a gray wall again.
Shortly after the wind demon entered, a small silver butterfly flew unnoticed near the passage.
"Strange, why does it feel like the wind demon's fluctuations have disappeared?" Penny said puzzledly.
She didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by the wind demon, so she kept a distance of more than thirty meters between them.
But in such a winding and rugged mountain cave, there might be a corner every ten meters. If Penny stayed far away to hide, she would not be able to see the wind demon.
However, she was very good at tracking the unique magical and mental fluctuations of wizards, so she was not worried about losing them.
It was too early for her to be happy. The wind monster suddenly disappeared, and the key point was that she didn't know where it disappeared.
Looking at the increasingly deep valley tunnel, Penny felt very melancholy.
She had no choice but to ask Thor for help.
When Thor heard Penny's news, he immediately said to the old witch, "Brando really didn't lure out the wind demon. She is worried that she can't beat Brando, or that the victory is too difficult and reveals a flaw."
The old witch sneered, "It seems that she is anxious now."
"The more tense the situation, the more eager she will be to restore her strength. So her sudden disappearance now must be..."
"Let's go to the magic pond!" The old witch jumped up high, "Go, go, go, hurry up! If you go too late, she will return to the third level!"
Thor immediately followed the old witch's lead.
Although he wasn't in that much of a hurry.
His magic pool was built for advancement to the second level. Even if the Wind Demon made some improvements to it, it would not be possible for her to recover her strength immediately.
It would take at least three days and three nights, and all the more precious witchcraft materials had to be prepared.
While Brando was distracting the others, the two of them came to the inside of the cliff.
Following Penny's instructions, Thor dodged all the warning magic circles and patrolling apprentices along the way. After a lot of effort, he finally arrived safely at the place where the wind demon's mental fluctuations disappeared.
Looking at the long and deep passage ahead, Thor whispered to the old witch, "It should be a secret passage. Wait a moment, I'll look for it."
Thor narrowed his eyes and, with the help of meditation, began to observe the flaws in the passage.
If this method doesn't work, he can also use the Eye of Exile to observe the area where the power is concentrated.
However, before Thor could start his performance, he saw the old witch already standing in front of a wall.
"The entrance is here."
Thor was stunned, "How do you know?"
The old witch smiled triumphantly; she finally had a chance to show off.
"I'm the one who once stole things from the wind demon! Don't underestimate me!"
Seeing Thor's eyes immediately turn to expectation, the old witch turned around triumphantly, thought for a moment, made a mark, and sank into the wall.
Then……
Nothing happens.
A wall is still a wall.
The old witch was embarrassed, "Well, maybe she changed the password. But this must be the passage to the wind demon's secret room!"
Seeing that the old witch was so confident, Thor was ready to take out the Eye of Exile and observe it carefully.
The old witch at the side suddenly raised her hand and released another mark.
This time, the wall disappeared, revealing the passage behind it.
The old witch walked in almost the moment the passage appeared.
Thor followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on the old witch.
He was increasingly puzzled. "The old witch stole the wind demon's things, so it's possible that she knew the way to the secret room. But the other party changed the mark, and she was able to find it out?"
This newly appeared passage was very narrow. When Thor had just walked four or five steps inside, two arms suddenly stretched out from the soil and almost knocked down the absent-minded old witch.
