Chapter 125 Face to Face
When everyone crawled out of the cave, it was already very dark outside.
Nick was absentmindedly writing and drawing when he saw everyone coming back and hurriedly greeted them.
...
This kind of adventure life of going down to the cave every day during the day and coming back before dark lasted for five days.
Because Sol and Nick were both second-level apprentices, they had been taking turns staying at the camp.
The human-headed monster that appeared at the entrance of Chuishou Valley never appeared again. This also made Byron and Thor, who had always been a little nervous, relax a little.
On this day, it was Sol's turn to stay behind again.
When he saw that everyone had been in the cave for a while, he immediately put down the materials he was holding and studied his eyes instead.
He hasn't fallen asleep these days, always meditating deeply instead. To avoid accidentally entering the dreams of those around you.
Although he may know some secrets because of this, without fully understanding the role of the Nightmare Butterfly, rashly knowing other people's secrets will bring disaster to himself.
Thor has always remembered the saying in the wizarding world, "Danger comes from the unknown, and the unknown is endless."
He faced the soul wave sensor and observed and recorded the frequency of the silver light flashing in his eyes.
He found that if he did not engage in semi-immersive meditation, the calluses in his eyes would not shine.
When he entered semi-immersed meditation, his left eye would flash with silver light almost every minute.
But the silver light was very weak, almost impossible to detect unless you were staring at him face to face.
Just as Thor was planning how to start his experiment after returning, the sky suddenly darkened.
A shadow slowly covered the place where Thor was.
Thor looked up. The sky was clear and cloudless.
He turned around again and suddenly discovered that a huge ship appeared on the cliff on the other side!
The ship looked like an ancient three-masted sailboat, but it was much larger than a normal sailboat.
There is a kind of monster painted on each of the three giant sails.
Slender ghosts, thousand-eyed banshees, and a giant flower that looks beautiful but has weird petals and stamens.
At this time, the giant sail was slowly being furled, and the giant ship gradually stopped moving.
Underneath the sailboat is the hull wrapped in huge white bones.
The lower part is blocked by the cliff and cannot be seen clearly.
The shadow stopped spreading, and the huge sailing ship finally stopped.
"A giant ship that sails on land?" Thor stood up with a solemn expression, "...a land boat?"
He still remembered that when he met Bill and Wright, Bill had just killed four land boaters.
Could it be that their companions came here?
Thor looked at the sky. It was still early, and normal conditions were far away from when Byron and the others came back.
Thor stood up and started packing his things.
They simply didn't set up a tent. As long as Thor hid some small instruments, no one would find them here.
Regardless of whether the land boat people were looking for those four people, it was not safe for Thor, a second-level apprentice, to collide with them.
He moved several large instruments deep into a nearby cave and spread some plants around the perimeter.
He put on his backpack and prepared to find another place to hide.
However, at this moment, the diary suddenly flew out and unfolded in front of him extremely quickly. Lines of font appeared as if it were driven at four times the speed.
[New Year 316, April 20th.
Since you left the Wizard Tower,
you have been having a smooth life.
Now you finally see
what it means that the outside world is wonderful.
You will be caught.
You will be tortured,
but no matter what you say,
they will dig out your eyes and
turn you into a flower~]
"Can't be caught!" Thor immediately realized that the person coming this time would be him of enemies.
He didn't have time to choose a suitable hole, so he jumped into the nearest one and ran in as hard as he could.
"Crash..."
Some sand was brought down by Thor. He quickly stopped and lay down on the ground, fearing that the sound would disturb the people on the ground.
Now that the diary has popped up, it means that the enemy could have discovered him very quickly.
The time left for Thor was only a few minutes at most.
But just these few minutes of time difference gave Thor a chance to hide.
"Fortunately, this place is full of caves, and there are twists and turns inside. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have much chance of avoiding it."
Thor held his breath and looked up at the top of his head.
After turning a few corners, he could no longer see the entrance to the cave. He just hoped that his actions just now did not leave too obvious traces on the ground.
At the same time, he is always ready to escape.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
Thor's heart was beating wildly.
To be able to drive such a huge sailing ship on land, the leader must be very powerful.
Thor could only hope that there were no official wizards among them.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
Waiting without warning is the most painful thing.
The tunnel became quieter and quieter, and Sol couldn't help but raise his hand to hold his chest, his eyes still looking at the dark front.
Time passed little by little.
There was no sound coming from above.
Maybe people outside didn't notice the traces here and had already left.
Thor lifted his body slightly and climbed down a little further.
After descending a few meters again and turning a few corners, Sol fumbled and took out a slender test tube from his backpack.
The test tube was left by Wright. As long as Saul buried the bugs in the test tube into the soil, Wright would know that something was wrong with Saul.
Sol followed the agreed plan and buried half of the bugs in the soil and left the other half outside.
This meant there was danger on the ground, but Thor was fine.
If the entire insect is buried, it means that Thor is asking for help.
"Huh..." After doing all this, Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, Byron and the others would not be afraid of coming out of the crypt unprepared and running into the enemy.
He continued to lie on the ground for about two hours, his stomach began to call for food, and then he slowly got up.
The surroundings were dark, and only the diary on his left shoulder, contrary to optical theory, was still clearly visible in his sight.
"Can I go up and have a look now?"
The diary flew out, giving him an uncomfortable way to die.
"Okay. I hope they can leave before dark. I don't want to spend the night underground."
"Is it okay to use low light?" Thor continued to think.
The diary flew out again.
But this time the content made Sol's heartbeat stop!
[In the year 316 of the New Moon Calendar, on April 20th,
you hid underground,
thinking you had escaped the crisis.
You stood up and lit up the surroundings,
and then you saw
a human head opposite you.
He grinned, revealing a neat row of Red Teeth,
"I've been discovered by you~"
You want to run,
But his neck stretched faster, and
you were rolled up.
Knowing that he couldn't find anyone else through you,
he bit off half of your face. ]
Saul looked at the contents of the diary without blinking.
However, what he wanted to know more was whether there was a face opposite him that was quietly watching his every move.
