Chapter 726 Night Scene
Due to an accident with the orange cat, Thor and Whitebeard were unable to get the support of the air cannon in time. The two were temporarily trapped in the wall of tree roots and had no way to move forward or backward.
"Kate!!!" Whitebeard yelled at the top of his lungs, "No matter what you encounter, fire the air cannon first, otherwise we won't be able to go over to help you!"
Apparently Kate is the orange cat's real name.
Whitebeard was afraid that the orange cat would not understand the code in a panic, so he called out the other's name to get his attention.
Whitebeard's words had some effect, but not much.
The orange cat Kate actually fired a small air cannon.
But the air cannon missed the target and was nearly 20 meters away from the two men, which was about the same distance as the two men were from the big tree stump.
"Damn it." White Beard couldn't help but curse when he saw this.
Whitebeard actually had a backup plan to deal with this situation, but that plan could only save himself.
It’s not that he is so kind and wants to save Thor, but he has finally assembled a team with good cooperation, and it would be a pity if they just disbanded like this.
The most important thing is that I don’t know how long it will be before I can get so close to the big tree stump again.
Just as Whitebeard was hesitating whether to use his last resort, Thor suddenly jumped into the air.
Then a large number of tree roots followed and tried to attack him.
When Whitebeard was wondering whether Thor had given up on escaping, a large number of black blades suddenly appeared around Thor.
But this time, the blade was shiny black, unlike its previous dull state.
"He actually transformed Jasim's most powerful sorcery?"
The black blade shot out and instantly cut off all the tree roots attacking Thor, and inserted into the nearby root wall, leaving behind tiny holes.
More black blades were fired towards the big tree stump, turning the tree root wall there into cheese.
But that's what it looks like.
In terms of attack power, it doesn't seem to be much stronger than the original Soul Blade.
However, something happened that almost frightened Whitebeard so much that he pulled his beard off.
This time, the tree roots that were cut by the bright black blade did not repair themselves automatically.
Not only that, the tree roots seemed to have encountered corrosive liquid, and the wounds pierced by the blade continued to expand.
The situation towards the big tree stump was even more exaggerated. Whitebeard didn't even have to do anything as a big hole was corroded out of the tree root wall.
Thor landed and looked at the stunned Whitebeard expressionlessly, "This is my trump card. Let's go before the effect wears off."
After saying that, Thor rushed into the broken wall of tree roots and continued to approach the big tree stump.
Even though Thor had demonstrated it, Whitebeard still observed carefully for two seconds before following.
He was afraid of being affected by the corrupting effects of Thor's sorcery.
In order to avoid being trapped here, he chased in before Thor's back disappeared.
But after entering the broken tree roots, I did feel a little uncomfortable. Although it was not serious, it showed how terrible Thor's attack just now was.
Moreover, this uncomfortable feeling seemed somewhat familiar, as if it was some kind of pollution, but he couldn't remember where he had felt the same breath.
Without time to think, Whitebeard eliminated the scattered tree roots along the way and finally came to the big tree stump.
The big tree stump was only two meters high, the same height as Whitebeard.
He jumped up with a light leap.
As he jumped, two thoughts flashed through his mind.
The first is: the duration of the Black Blade Wizard's spell is quite long. We have rushed here, but the tree roots show no signs of recovery.
The second question was: Why didn't I see Black Blade and Kate who had just arrived? When Whitebeard landed on the cross section of the tree stump that was as fresh as a new cut, the scene in front of him changed suddenly.
"Hallucination?" Whitebeard did not panic, but immediately began to observe his surroundings and spread his mental power, trying to find Thor and Kate who had come up earlier.
Now, there were no more stumps and densely tangled roots around him.
Not only that, even the time has changed.
They took action when the sun was just above the horizon.
It took no more than half an hour before he stepped onto the stump.
But at this moment there was a crescent moon above his head.
Time suddenly changed from day to night.
Under his feet was a clean and tidy cobblestone road.
There are tall buildings on both sides, and there are a few windows with lights on, but most of the lights are dim.
If Thor were here, he would recognize that this is clearly the night view of the city before the destruction of the archaeological city of Sterne.
It’s just that the night view here is a little unusual.
Sometimes a dark figure would appear in a room with lights on all around, but when you looked closely they were gone.
"Humph." Whitebeard sneered, "You're using such low-level intimidation tactics on a second-level wizard?"
However, he still walked carefully to the middle of the road, away from the nearby buildings.
It's not that he was being stubborn, he was actually worried that there might be a trap hidden in this strange scene that could hurt him.
He is not afraid of ghosts. What he is afraid of are those ghosts that are deceitful and cannot harm him, not those powerful ghosts like the second or third level.
There is a street lamp every ten meters on both sides of the road.
However, the light was dim, and people could only barely see the road ahead.
Even if Whitebeard is a second-level wizard with the ability to see in the dark, it won't work.
The entire illusion was sending unclear signals to his brain.
"Since I'm here, the Black Blade Wizard and Kate should be here too. I just wonder if the illusion will make us unable to see each other, or even make us regard each other as enemies?"
"Don't look for someone first. First find the source of the illusion that affects my spiritual body. If I eliminate the source, I will naturally be able to escape from the illusion."
In just a few thoughts, Whitebeard had made his decision.
Instead of standing there and waiting, he took a step forward.
"Since I was facing this direction when I appeared, the source of the illusion should also want me to move forward."
Although following the guidance of the illusion may lead to danger, it will also help you discover flaws more quickly.
Whitebeard was confident in his own strength, and naturally felt that it was better to move than to remain still.
“Meow.”
He had just walked less than ten meters when he heard a cat's meow.
Whitebeard sneered, "Sure enough, there have been changes."
“Meow.”
Another cat meow.
"The imitation is not very similar. Although Kate looks like a cat, his voice is still a little different from that of a real cat."
Even though he had seen through the other party's disguise, Whitebeard still walked forward.
"Let me see who's calling?"
He continued walking forward following the sound.
The streetlight above my head flickered a few times, as if the witchcraft prop device inside had malfunctioned. With each flicker, the light dimmed a little again.
When the street light flashed for the fourth time, a huge cat shadow suddenly appeared under a street light in front of Whitebeard.
Because the light was dim, Whitebeard could only vaguely see the outline of the cat in front of him.
He frowned slightly, thinking that the cat looked a little strange.
"Trying to imitate Kate's look, but several sizes bigger. And what's with those limbs? Is the cat standing on tiptoes?"
The cat shadow in front has its back arched high, its limbs straight, and the tips of its claws touching the ground.
It was as if the cat was not standing on the ground.
But being hung...
The height at which it is hung is such that the tips of its claws just hang down to the ground.
