Chapter 43: A dilemma
Su Xiaobai glanced vaguely at the cold mage, the latter still had no expression on his face, and even the initial 'surprise' was disguised.
How much does the cold mage know about this?
Su Xiaobai didn't know if he knew the Sphinx, but he was one thing sure,
The cold mage definitely didn't know that the Sphinx had looked for him last night, and Su Xiaobai survived without incident;
Otherwise, there is a chance that Su Xiaobai, who learns the secret, will be disposed of by the cold mage;
Looking up at the mist-surrounded Moding Mountain again, Su Xiaobai felt heavy. If this team dies two people every day from now on, when they return to the foot of the mountain, I'm afraid that only the cold mage himself will be left.
Castlevania Hall.
The expressions of the crowd were ugly, and they had finally solved a tricky Sphinx, but a new problem had appeared, and they had no clue about this 'mysterious monster'.
Lucifer's eyes flickered: "We have to lurk now, that cold mage is very suspicious, even if the mysterious monster was not recruited by him, there must be a connection, we must find a chance to get rid of him." ”
Gloria hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you want to tell Siltai this secret?" ”
Lucifer's face was gloomy: "No, if Siertai doesn't trust your lord and reveals the news to the cold mage, our situation will be in danger; What's more, a mysterious demon like the Sphinx, would make a mage believe it for no reason? Once the identity of the adult undead is suspected, it is even worse. ”
"So what do we do?" Mi Meier asked nervously.
Lucifer: "Watch and see what happens, and pay more attention to that cold mage, he must have a way to avoid the Sphinx and the mysterious monster." ”
The situation reached a stalemate for a while, and Su Xiaobai kept a hot potato-like secret but didn't dare to say it, unless everyone believed him all at once.
Otherwise, before the truth ferments, the cold mage will kill Su Xiaobai.
The team heading to Moding Mountain seemed to be shrouded in a layer of death, and the place they were going to was the abyss or hell.
That night, everyone had trouble sleeping.
Su Xiaobai also held on to his spirit and didn't sleep, he secretly looked at the cold mage through the gap in the curtain.
Until the next morning, nothing happened.
But when the whole team was formed, there were still dead people.
Moreover, two died this time.
Su Xiaobai keenly noticed that for the first time, the cold mage's face changed greatly.
By no means pretended, but the kind of visceral shock that is unbelievable.
This made Su Xiaobai's heart sink. The cold mage's expression undoubtedly showed that the situation had developed in an uncontrollable direction, and there was a deeper meaning hidden in it;
Why does the cold mage lose his temper when two people die? That is, between the mysterious monster and the Sphinx, he knows only one!
So, which one does the cold mage know? Should Su Xiaobai have a showdown with him?
One wrong step will put your life in danger; With the vicious personality of the cold mage, he will definitely stifle all variables.
I'm afraid that as long as he gets the information he wants from Su Xiaobai, he will kill Su Xiaobai, this kind of secret that is easy to cause panic in the team is suitable for a few people.
On the fourth day, two people still died.
The cold mage became panicked, and the team was like a mess of sand, and some people began to go back rather than die on the Demon Peak Mountain.
It wasn't until the cold mage had killed three people in a row that the team quieted down. But the hearts of the people were full of complaints, and if there were any more deaths at night, this resentment would break out sooner or later, and it was now the repression before the storm.
On the fifth day, only one person died.
But Su Xiaobai saw that the cold mage's face was extremely pale.
Finally, on the evening of the sixth day, the situation took a turn for the better.
The cold mage lit a huge bonfire and asked the warriors to cut down all the trees and bushes within a radius of thirty meters, clearing a clearing;
Then everyone gathers around the burning bonfire and waits for the mysterious monster to appear.
The cold mage said viciously: "We have four Sixth Order, there is no monster on this Demon Peak Mountain that can threaten us, as long as that despicable fool in the shadows dares to show up, we can kill it." ”
These words gave everyone some confidence, the sixth-order ice system Yin Cold Mage has very strong combat effectiveness, and it can be ranked first in the town.
Su Xiaobai vaguely stabbed Siertai's arm.
Siertai immediately understood.
The two of them discussed it last night, and the cold mage who had entered the Demon Ding Mountain once must know something. Everyone has this question in their hearts, but no one dares to ask it because of his coercion.
But now it's different, and if the cold mage still hides it, he will set himself on fire, and the anger of the crowd will drown him out.
At this time, this question was asked by Siltey, the strongest of the free adventurers on the side of Baron Pixar, undoubtedly representing the will of everyone;
"Inke, I think you're hiding something. ”
These words immediately made the atmosphere stalemate, full of gunpowder;
Inke's face was reflected in the firelight, sometimes hideous, sometimes calm, sometimes revealing murderous intent.
All the adventurers who were recruited looked nervously at the cold mage. Even Baron Pixar's men were staring at Inke under the threat of life.
Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the cold mage, he was not stupid, he knew that he could not hide it.
Just as he was about to speak;
A rough shout came from afar: "I've finally found you, a bunch of rabbits!" ”
Then there was a 'bang' in the air!
The firelight burned the sky red, and the scorching temperature hit the face,
It's a fireball the size of a water tank!
Level 6 Magic Great Fireball Technique!
Whoosh!
And more than one,
At least five!
The cold mage's face changed suddenly, and he raised his staff and shouted, "Get up and fight!" ”
With a wave of his hand, he released the ice wall and protected him firmly behind him, and many adventurers rushed to the ice wall, scolding the waste in a gloomy mage's anger;
Siertai summoned a two-meter-sized blue water ball, and he and Su Xiaobai squeezed into it.
Then, a large fireball fell to the ground and exploded, and the dirt flew away, accompanied by the smell of burnt human flesh.
Five adventurers died tragically on the spot and turned into black charcoal.
The fragile nerves of the crowd burst and they cried out in despair: "Who are they, and why are they attacking us?" ”
"A mysterious monster?"
"Please, let us go, we'll keep all the gold."
A rough laugh came from a big tree in the distance again: "That's not good, unless you leave the secret of Moding Mountain behind!" ”
The cold mage's face turned pale, but his expression did not waver.
More than a dozen figures appeared in the darkness, all dressed as mercenaries, among which there were three mages, and when you looked closely, they were all sixth-order;
