The mission of this trip has been fully understood, Li Xi told his experience of these five days to Gelu, while carefully measuring Gelu's expression, the results of the whole trip down Gelu are expressionless.
Especially pay attention to in his own said that powerful sorcerer apprentice, Gru no surprise and no reaction, this point let Li Xi a little puzzled, do not know if he really do not know, or already have a number in mind.
"I know, I will pay attention, our mission is not related to those eight sorcerer elemental apprentices, so you don't need to pay attention to them."
Li Xi was just about to nod his head in agreement, but he didn't expect Gelu to continue, "Of course, this bit of strength of yours won't even make it into their eyes, and they won't come looking for you."
"....."
Well, weak strength is such a lack of existence.
"Well, don't worry about the missing population and the beast tide riots for now, Tiama City can't weaken, so you can pick a place by yourself first to exercise and go."
With a word from Gelu, Li Xi, who had just arrived at Tiama City, was driven out of the town again and ran towards the place he had chosen.
And in Tiama City, inside the hall where the night banquet was held yesterday, the sorcerer apprentices who ate yesterday gathered again, only without yesterday's laughter, all their faces were serious.
"Master Grue, we've found traces of the foreign sorcerer, it's a sorcerer from the Black Skull Sorcerer Academy."
"Black Skull Wizard Academy?"
"How could it be them?"
Just the name alone caused a sudden intake of breath to ring out in the hall, as if the name was a flooding beast to be feared.
"Samir, can you be sure?" A voice so fearful that he couldn't believe it came out of Samaki's mouth, a hint of trembling in his voice.
"It's already confirmed, last night I fought with one of their sorcerer apprentices, he clearly indicated their identity while telling me that they were here to do the academy mission." Samir, a beautiful sorcerer apprentice with blonde hair.
Seeing that Samir was so certain, Samachi immediately turned to Gru anxiously for help, "Master Gru, what can we do about this?"
Gelu's rare face was grave, but not as scared as the other sorcerers.
Thinking slightly, he said, "There is no need to rush first, it is still uncertain what specific task they are on, and we don't know how many people have come, as long as there are no second level sorcerers present, we can completely handle it."
With Grue, the second grade body refining sorcerer, the people present were almost at ease for quite a while, second grade sorcerers, were already the backbone of the academy.
Normally, second grade sorcerers would not go out to do missions, the vast majority were first grade sorcerers.
For Gelu, a second level body refining sorcerer to come and do a township guard mission, would have been unexpected, and they didn't believe that the Black Skeleton Sorcerer Academy would have a second level sorcerer come over.
Gelu continued, "For now, it's still mainly communication, mainly figuring out their mission, and if possible, try to negotiate a deal."
"Of course, we are not good bullies, this is after all our Purple Flame Wizard Academy's sphere of influence, if they make a move, we will never be soft."
"I'll immediately send the news back to the academy and have the dean inquire through other channels, it's best to have the academy send some more teachers over as well."
The sorcerers who could be teachers were all first-class official sorcerers.
Gelu's words instantly put the sorcerer apprentices present at ease, being able to have a first grade formal sorcerer come over to assist would alleviate their pressure.
Relying on just a few apprentice wizards to deal with the killing-oriented wizards of the Black Skeleton Witch Academy was indeed a bit too much pressure!
Gelu calmed down the crowd that was just apprehensive with a few simple words, and then said to Samachi, "You have to shrink the populace and reduce the foreign trade exchanges now, if once the situation exceeds our expectations, holding Tiama you will be a great merit."
"Yes, Master Grue."
Samachi also knew that the situation was urgent and immediately went out to make arrangements, the good thing was that there was enough food within Tiama to feed the inhabitants for three years, the lack of production would not affect anything.
Samachi went out to make arrangements, Gru looked at Samir again, "Samir you eight don't act alone anymore, group of four, split into two teams, figure out their intentions while keeping yourselves safe."
"Yes, Lord Gru."
Waiting for all the sorcerer apprentices to leave, Gelu's face still did not see any relaxation, but instead became more grave, with a wave of one hand, a void spell appeared in his hand.
Gelu's lips rose lightly, and a wordless sentence was delivered.
...
Naturally, Li Xi was not aware of everything that was happening within Tiama, nor did he know that Tiama was now like a powder keg that could explode at any time.
He was currently walking towards the first place he chose, there was no name on the map, only a big yellow pattern, and it was a desert.
"We also have such a challenge there trying to press the limits of the body to promote, but very few succeeded, most gave up, and a few died in it." Zangani reminded, he was afraid that Li Xi would die in it.
"I know, I've read a brief introduction in a wizard book before, the exercise of body refining wizard apprentices is often accompanied by a huge mortality rate, acting more extreme." Li Xi said.
"This kind of challenging extreme behavior is taboo to have outsiders disturbing it, I won't say a word to you next, and you have to forget about the shadow space, forget about the back roads, forget about everything, in your earthly words, it's to put it to death." Zangani said.
"Instinct driven, forget reason, I understand." Li Xi said.
The desert was a full day's journey away from Tiama, and although Li Xi didn't go at full speed, it was still six hundred miles away.
Rolling yellow sand, heat wave, because of the high energy reaction caused by the convergence of the distorted light shooting down, so that the temperature here is dozens of degrees higher than the outside of the desert.
Li Xi looked at the near and very different environment, one side is the heat wave rolling yellow sand, one side is the green primitive forest, very different environments are safe and sound.
Leahy could only say that wizard greatness was omnipotent.
Gelu said that the environment here was caused by high-level battles, although the specific level was not explicitly stated, Li Xi estimated that it should be above the third level.
Changing the landscape, which was not easy to do for thousands of years, was simply a walking natural disaster!
With a fling of his feet, shoes, clothes, all were thrown into the shadow space by Li Xi.
Barefoot, naked, Li Xi did not hesitate to walk into the rolling desert.
One step, as if coming to a new world, the sudden increase in temperature, sandy world!
The temperature of the desert could cook an egg, but Li Xi felt very comfortable, stepping on it with bare feet, as if he had made a great treasure.
For the first five days, Li Xi didn't feel anything and just walked aimlessly, the body of an apprentice body refining sorcerer had its own extraordinary body.
Without eating, drinking or sleeping, for five consecutive days there was still no discomfort.
As for loneliness, Li Xi also did not feel it, the earth and sky seems to be the only one left, right full of nonsense, never so relaxed.
A moment to think about the direction of their future development, a moment to think about the experiment they have just started, nothing even simulate the experimental process in his mind.
Body relaxation, as if after a year of continuous overtime, suddenly get a long vacation, hit the bottom of the release, comfortable!
The sixth day, dry mouth, Li Xi finally felt thirsty, pursed lips, but okay, acceptable.
Seventh day, hunger, stomach kept rumbling as if there were 10,000 elephants hissing, craving for food, Li Xi tried to think as much as possible to make himself forget about hunger.
Day 8, exhaustion, hunger plus lack of water made Li Xi finally feel tired, every step was not as easy as before, but Li Xi still walked slowly step by step.
Day 9, exhaustion increased, it was still bearable, the
....
Twentieth day.
....
Li Xi didn't know how many days had passed, the robust body had shrunk by half and had the appearance of revealing skin and bones.
Because of the lack of water replenishment, the lips were like a dry riverbed showing a gully.
Heavy footsteps as if every step drives a world forward, the speed is far from the previous so fast, every step has to pay a lot of strength, slow speed I'm afraid that turtles see all have to shake their heads.
Confused eyes looking straight ahead, from his eyes can not see the focus position, has been lost in thought!
Continuing to move forward, Li Xi tried to make himself forget his purpose, which was to mechanically move forward.
The whole desert is only a hunched body forward, lonely ...
And after I don't know how long.
"Pfft."
Li Xi finally fell into the sand at one of his steps because he couldn't lift his already skinny paws.
There was no struggle, no movement, the eyelids had already closed heavily, as if an ordinary corpse that died in the desert.
Wind and sand blowing, a little bit of yellow sand to this naked body submerged.
For the desert, a corpse is just a record of someone who once came here but did not go out, and I don't know how many such corpses there are underneath the desert.
Perhaps a thousand years later, someone would dig them up from the depths of the desert and lament the pitifulness of these people.
The wind and sand blew for a long time, Li Xi's figure had long been invisible, and only a small sand pile was born.
In the desert, there were countless piles of sand like this.
No one has come, and no one cares,....
A point of light suddenly appeared in the dark world, bringing a little hope to a world that had never seen light before.
A faint voice, hoarse and stuck in doubt, rang out intermittently, and
"I ..."
"I ..... Is... Who?"
"I .... Dead .... Is ... ?"
"Should ... Dead .... Right?"
The voice disappeared, the point of light in the darkness disappeared, and the world was once again plunged into complete darkness.
Again, I do not know how long, the faint point of light reappeared, and in the darkness again a doubtful voice murmured that
"Death ..... What is it?"
"Dead ..... Not dead?"
"Immortality ... What is it again?"
After the faintly stuck voice mumbled the point of light disappeared once again and the completely dark world fell into silence again.
I don't know how long later, that particle of light that seemed like it could be extinguished at any time appeared once again, bringing a little bit of light to the dark world, the
"I ... still alive?"
"Why .....?"
"And what is the sign of being alive?"
The voice's speed of speech obviously became much faster, and there was no more lag in the last sentence, and even the faint point of light that could be extinguished at any time became much brighter.
The point of light continued to shine, the doubtful voice disappeared and the point of light did not go out.
This time it was short lived, and the dubious voice reappeared, the
"A sign of life?"
"Are the cells still working properly, or is the consciousness still able to think?"
"???? What are cells?"
"???? And what is consciousness?"
"So am I thinking to myself now, or is it subconscious self-feedback?"
"Who am I?"
"It's not important who I am, or is it more important to think about the signs of being alive."
"What if it's a cell ...? Don't understand what a cell is, it doesn't matter, it's just that if the cell is alive, then I'm alive."
"Cells ...."
The voice was lost in thought ...
