Chapter 527: Failure on the verge of success.
The two of them stepped on their feet and made as little noise as possible as they hurried through the rugged corridor like a cave.
Before passing by the room where the old witch usually rested, both Ouqili and Thor were so nervous that they stopped breathing.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and the two of them passed the old witch's room smoothly.
Until Oqili used potion to suppress the warning witchcraft circle at the entrance of the cave and escaped with Thor, the old witch still did not appear behind them.
The two carefully passed through the cave entrance without triggering the alarm, and finally left the old witch's stronghold.
It was late at night outside, and the starry sky above added a little brilliance to the dim world.
Ahead were several gentle hills and barren wilderness.
Seeing the scenery outside and looking at the entrance of the cave behind him, Thor felt a little emotional. They had been locked in a cave during this time.
When they left the hole and looked back, they found that when viewed from the outside, the hole had turned into rat holes the size of a fist. And there was no magic wave emitting from it.
It seemed that this was how the old witch evaded her pursuers.
They ran to the nearest hill and hid behind a few lonely aloe trees.
"Okay, let's separate here." Ou Qili, whose chest kept rising and falling, said suddenly.
"Separate? But..." Before Thor could finish speaking, he was interrupted again.
"Now that you are out, naturally you have to escape according to your own ability. Now is not the time to relax, the old witch is very good at finding people. I want you to improve your strength as soon as possible, not just to get out of the cage. What is really scary is the subsequent pursuit. . We are together, the target is too big, and it is easier to be caught. I want to escape over there, please remember to change the direction." Ou Qili's lips collided quickly and explained a few words to Thor.
Then the whole body disappeared into the black mist and floated away in the direction he said.
Thor looked at the afterimage of Oqili's witchcraft, but stood there and did not run away immediately.
He put a hand on his right arm that had just been grabbed by Ou Qili, and said thoughtfully: "Then...which direction should I run?" ...
While
escaping, Ou Qili always acted calm, but in fact His heart was about to jump out of his chest.
After being imprisoned by the old witch for three years, he longed for freedom all the time and was threatened by the shadow of death all the time.
He had been planning his escape for more than a year.
The witchcraft materials he asked Saul to steal were only a small part of them. As early as a year ago, he began to secretly hide the materials for future needs.
It's just that some important materials are difficult to obtain. The old witch will always be watching him from behind. If it weren't for Thor and his cooperation, the last few materials would never be able to be collected.
Now he finally managed to escape!
Ou Qili, who had been running for most of the night, stopped at a mountain col, took out a plant rhizome from behind that could restore magic power, and gulped it down.
Such unprocessed materials are actually somewhat toxic if swallowed directly, but Ou Qili doesn't want to waste time now.
In the past three years, he had accumulated a lot of toxicity in his body, and he could only wait to slowly resolve it after regaining his freedom.
And now all he has to do is race against time. He must rush to the nearest wind demon's territory before the old witch uses the magic mirror to find her.
As long as he finds the subordinates of the wind demon and reports the old witch's whereabouts, he will not only be safe from now on, but also get a lot of reward.
It only takes three days to get to the Wind Demon's nearest territory from here.
There are too many uncertainties during this period.
Fortunately, there was someone who could help him delay.
Ou Qili waited for the recovery of magic power, turned his head and looked into the distance, gradually revealing a twisted smile.
"Thor, run quickly. Use your best strength and try every method to run as fast as possible and as far as possible! This way the old witch can spend more time searching for your breath. More time."
When Ou Qili was preparing the potion, he actually prepared another material.
When this material is applied to the body, it initially has the effect of concealing the smell, but if it is not wiped off with a special agent within twelve hours, it will begin to emit a very obvious smell of fireworks.
And the old witch who always uses this material to evade capture is naturally very familiar with this smell.
When she wakes up, she will naturally catch Thor who has a little tail.
This also extended the time for Ou Qili to escape in disguise.
And Oqili specially put this material on Rathore's arm when he came out of the cage.
As for the stain on his hands, it was naturally washed off when he escaped from Thor's sight.
As long as Thor can survive one day, Oqili will be sure to run to the wind demon's territory!
...
Three days later.
Ou Qili hid in a patch of grass and looked at a settlement ahead.
There are no houses made of masonry or wood in the settlement. Instead there were huge tents.
The central tent is the largest, with other tents built around it.
Because the Borderlands is a place where danger may occur at any time, all the subordinates of the Wind Demon will choose this kind of tent that is easy to dismantle and move as their base.
"This should be the territory of the wind demon. Looking at the size of the middle tent... there should be a second-level wizard stationed here."
Ou Qili was overjoyed. If there was only one wizard stationed here, then the old witch would at most be able to chase him. The movements become more subtle, but they are unable to stop the opponent.
But if a second-level wizard is stationed here, the old witch will definitely consider whether it will attract more enemies before entering.
"Now there are only the last three hundred meters left." Ou Qili did not relax his vigilance and moved forward carefully while trying to cover his body with a gray-yellow coat stained with sand.
He was coated with a breath-masking material that would be washed off immediately when the time came.
Now that he has just applied the new material, there is still plenty of time.
"Just wait until I see that second-level wizard..."
Suddenly, two people walked out of the settlement talking and laughing.
Ou Qili didn't dare to show up immediately, he only squatted aside and cast a concealment technique.
Those two people exuded the fluctuations of wizard apprentices. Perhaps because they were not far from the settlement, they were not as vigilant as they should be, and were still talking about recent news.
It also happens to be related to the old witch.
"I heard that someone found traces of the old witch."
"Ha, Master Feng Yao has sent more people to catch her. Once the old witch is caught, we won't have to worry about whether the people around us will disappear or not." At this time
, The first person suddenly lowered his voice, "Did you know, it is said that the old witch actually hurt Lord Wind Demon when she appeared last time..." The
voices of the two people became lower and lower, and Ou Qili could no longer hear clearly.
But judging from the news he just got, he can definitely report the old witch's traces here.
Maybe the second-level wizard here will reward him for this!
Ou Qili's eyes were shining and he was about to get up from the ground.
Suddenly, his legs went numb and he couldn't use any strength at all.
Ou Qili's heart was beating wildly, and a bad thought came to his mind.
He opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but when he really opened his mouth, he only made a sound that was not much louder than breathing.
"No way? No way!"
"No way! No way! No way!!!"
The next second, the soil under Ou Qili's feet loosened, and he fell down.
"Who is it?" The two apprentices who had been communicating quietly just now suddenly noticed something unusual.
"Hmph, sometimes being too alert is not a good thing."
A sinister voice sounded, and then the flesh and blood on the two apprentices began to roll down, as if there was an invisible knife, cutting their bodies quickly, even the skeletons were gone. Let it go!
Soon, everything returned to peace.
Ou Qili lay in a deep pit and felt warm liquid dripping down from his head, slowly soaking into his face.
"Are you running fast?" The old witch pressed behind Ou Qili.
She lowered her head, and the little finger on her braid was just on Ouqili's nose.
"It's over!" Ou Qili gritted his teeth tightly, feeling extremely desperate.
He lost the bet.
"That bastard boy is really useless. He didn't even survive a day!"
He couldn't help but hate Thor, who was cooperating with him. He felt that the little wizard could only do research and was useless in other aspects.
The old witch heard Ou Qili's muttering, and slowly grinned, "Ho ho, what, did you escape with Thor at that time?" Ou Qili was
startled, how could the old witch ask such a question?
The old witch's voice continued to ring in his ears, "Then do you know... that kid didn't run away at all?"
