PS: Hehe, I have paid off all the overdue updates this month.
Soon, Julian and several disciples appeared nearby. Seeing the body of Ailian, who was once the most beloved by the mentor, several disciples shuddered. One of them quickly shouted,
"He must not have gone far. Let's chase him!"
Several people rushed into the cave and climbed up, leaving only Julian with a grim look on his face.
"very good!"
A voice as cold as the biting cold wind of winter squeezed out from between his teeth. Julian laughed angrily, and the contempt in his eyes disappeared. He raised his head to look at the cave entrance. With a sweep of his sleeves, a layer of dense black spots as big as soybeans flowed out along the soles of his feet and spread to the corpse on the ground, covering it. A burst of fine chewing sounds was heard.
"The teacher loves you the most. Don't worry, he will come to accompany you soon."
The figure disappeared in a flash, and the corpse on the ground disappeared as well. Only the dark red bloodstains on the ground proved that there had been a death here.
In the dense forest, Lin Xiao ran as fast as he could through the forest, and occasionally when he encountered a strange monster, he would rush past it with all his strength.
Over ten points of agility gave him super-fast speed. He would rush past most monsters before they could react, and those that did react were unable to catch up with him.
No longer hiding his strength, his speed was comparable to that of a formal wizard who followed the bloodline route. He rushed through the dense forest and covered dozens of miles in one breath.
But Lin Xiao did not dare to be careless. After taking a short break to catch his breath, he continued to run forward. He didn't know whether the enemy had caught up with him or not. Regardless of whether he was caught up or not, he could not stop. However, his speed would not be as fast as when he was running for his life just now.
After running hundreds of kilometers in one breath, he felt that most of his physical strength had been consumed. Running further would seriously affect his combat effectiveness. He looked around and saw a hill with lush vegetation in front of him. He decided to go there to rest.
He looked at himself as he walked. He had taken off and thrown away the armor on his body. His clothes were covered with tears torn by monsters he encountered on the road or scratched by branches. However, he had no wounds on his body. The more than ten points of physical fitness gave him a strong body, and ordinary attacks could not even scratch his skin.
About a hundred meters in front of the hill, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction with a vigilant look on his face.
The lush jungle was so quiet that even the common chirping of insects was missing, only the slight rustling of leaves in the breeze.
Something is wrong!
Lin Xiao quickly drew his sword and moved sideways away from the previous position. An invisible force of energy hit the previous position, creating a pit on the ground that was half a meter in size and thirty to forty centimeters deep.
"what?"
Just a moment ago he seemed to see some traces passing by, but it was too fast to see clearly.
Just as he was bending over and squinting his eyes to scan around, he suddenly looked up and saw Julian standing on the horizontal branch of a big tree in front of him, looking down at him, and stretched out his right hand like a pistol and pointed at him.
Lin Xiao subconsciously wanted to leave the spot, but just as he moved, he was hit by an invisible force field. Before he could make any move, he was blasted several meters away by the huge force and hit a big tree heavily with a dull thud, and a large number of withered yellow leaves fell.
"What kind of attack is this?"
Although he was confused, he turned around and went behind the tree.
"boom!"
A tree as thick as an ordinary man's waist was smashed to pieces by the invisible force field. Countless debris hit him on the head and the tree fell down directly.
"grass!"
Too strong, there is no way to defeat him.
Although his physical fitness is comparable to that of an ordinary bloodline wizard, he is not a real wizard after all. His mental power has not transformed, he does not have any powerful magic weapons, and he has not mastered any witchcraft. How can he defeat a formal wizard with crystallized mental power?
He turned around and ran without saying a word.
Julian did not chase it immediately, but just stretched out his hand and felt around in the air. If Lin Xiao was still there, he would have found that it was a strange snake that was thicker than a human and had crystal-like scales all over its body.
As Julian pointed his finger, the strange snake entangled in the tree quickly got down the tree. Its already translucent body quickly became blurred and soon disappeared.
He stomped his feet again, and countless black spots as big as soybeans slipped out from his trouser legs and quickly spread down the tree trunk.
There seemed to be a space pocket in his trouser leg, with black spots pouring out continuously, covering an area of hundreds of square meters. The speed was faster than that of an ordinary person running. When the black spots poured out, the insects and ants in the forest quickly fled in all directions, as if they saw some terrible natural enemy.
"This won't work. We're doomed."
Lin Xiao was thinking while running, and suddenly he jumped forward. He was hit by a huge force in the air and flew more than 20 meters like a cannonball and fell heavily into the forest, crashing into the arms of a four-meter-long ferocious beast with black hair and well-developed muscles that was lying under a tree to rest.
In less than a second, the two eyes met, and the man and the beast jumped up and ran for their lives.
A few steps away, they separated to the left and right at the same time, and then Lin Xiao heard a scream like a dog whose foot was stepped on, and the sound quickly stopped.
Three minutes later, Lin Xiao stepped on a stone and was about to jump to another protruding stone not far away. As soon as he exerted force, the stone was smashed away by the huge force. His foot stepped into empty air and his body tilted. A cold body wrapped around him in mid-air. He slapped the shaking cold snake body with his palm and bounced off. The next second, he was sent flying as if he was hit by a mountain. He spat out a mouthful of hot blood, revealing the huge crystal snake body.
"Crystal King Snake!"
Lin Xiao's heart sank. This was a powerful beast equivalent to a formal second-level wizard. Its crystal scales gave it super strong defense, and it possessed the ability to become invisible and the talent to control crystal force fields. An ordinary second-level wizard might not be able to defeat this guy.
A first-level crystallized wizard and a crystal king snake, this is too much bullying.
Lin Xiao said he couldn't stand it, so he gritted his teeth and turned around and ran away.
I can only run. There is no other way.
He couldn't beat the opponent, and he couldn't cheat. Although there were a lot of things stored in the Creation Cube, he couldn't take any of them out.
He had tried it a long time ago. It's not that it can't be used, but anything that is not allowed cannot be taken out at all. It is prohibited. Otherwise, he would have been ready to fight to the death.
It can be seen that this son of the divine realm of an unknown race named Julian has not taken any action yet and is still playing with him like a cat playing with a mouse. Otherwise, with Julian's strength and a crystal king snake, he would have been easily killed.
What happened next was just as he expected. The crystal king snake kept attacking him, but each attack would make him look very embarrassed. He would occasionally be injured, but not fatally. It was obviously a joke.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and persisted. After making sure that the other party would not kill him immediately, he recalled the map, confirmed the direction, and rushed in a certain direction.
In addition to the ruins of the underground palace, the map also marked several nearby places that were considered forbidden areas for apprentices. The place he was heading to at this time was the nearest forbidden area - Weird Valley.
The name is very common, but easy to understand. There lives a group of strange monsters in the valley that cannot be described in words.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Xiao appeared in front of the Weird Valley, but Julian appeared before him at the entrance of the Weird Valley. He stood on top of a sharp rock more than ten meters high, with his arms folded, looking at Lin Xiao with a playful expression and said with a smile:
"I guessed that you would use this to get rid of me, and I was right."
He looked back at the misty valley behind him and said:
"If you want to rely on this to get out of this, I can only say that you are too naive. Although this strange valley is strange and dangerous, my experience in the valley many years ago proves that this place is not enough to threaten me."
"Perhaps you don't know what's in this strange valley yet. Let me introduce it to you. There live some strange creatures that cannot be described by common sense. They have many strange abilities that break common sense. Death is the best outcome if you enter it. The only thing to fear is that life is worse than death and you will be tortured forever."
He smiled strangely, suddenly jumped onto a tree on the other side to make way, and stretched out his hand to invite you:
"Don't say I don't give you hope. I can let you in and I will definitely not attack you."
Lin Xiao couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Julian's words and actions made him feel a little guilty.
But he had no choice at this moment. Staying would mean death, and going in would also mean death. It might even be worse than death. His choice was
to raise his feet and walk towards the valley entrance.
Julian kept his hand outstretched and looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes moving as he moved forward.
When Lin Xiao came to the same level as him at the valley entrance, the two looked at each other for a second, and then Lin Xiao suddenly rushed into the valley.
"boom!"
An invisible force field emerged and bounced him away.
"Hahaha"
Julian stroked his forehead and laughed out loud, looking like a madman.
Lin Xiao's heart sank. He stretched out his hand into the air and felt an invisible force field blocking his way forward.
"Didn't anyone tell you that this strange valley is a seal? You need to break the seal before you can get in."
Julian was in a very good mood and was even interested in explaining to him:
"There is a passage in this strange valley that leads to a dangerous world. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Witch King established a seal here to prevent the monsters inside from coming out. The seal is reinforced every thousand years. Although it has not been reinforced for more than two thousand years, the remaining seal is not something that a little thing like you can open."
Lin Xiao was speechless, and Julian continued:
"Is it very desperate? That's right, be as desperate as you can."
He stretched out his five fingers and clenched them, his face gradually becoming colder, and he said murderously:
"You killed my favorite disciple. In return, I will eat you up inch by inch until you become one with me."
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to escape, and then I'll come back to take your life!"
After saying this, he looked at Lin Xiao with a teasing look, but instead of seeing him running for his life frantically as he had imagined, he saw him staring at him coldly with no fluctuations in his eyes.
"Why don't you run away?"
"I don't believe you."
During the escape, he felt that Julian seemed a little neurotic, with a changeable personality and a lot of lies. He couldn't believe what he said.
If you really believe him and run for your life, he will definitely kill you in less than fifteen minutes.
You're going to die anyway, so why bother being teased?
His non-cooperation and words made Julian furious. He stretched out his hand and a large group of black shadows emerged from behind Lin Xiao. Countless black beetles gathered to form a humanoid monster over ten meters tall, roaring at him:
"Then die!"
