Chapter 85: Time Lapse
Arthur's injuries weren't serious, and the fall was more due to the paralyzing effect of the scepter on his body.
Because of the protection of the Yunling Vine Armor, the feeling of paralysis also flashed.
When the monster leader's scepter fell, Arthur's left hand, which was lying on the ground, rose like lightning.
"Fight to the death" to survive, Arthur's originally empty hand instantly had a sharp hunting knife. The knife flashed and came first, and the hunting knife pierced through the monster leader's jaw, the tip of the knife peeking out of its pointed mouth.
The sword was drawn, blood splattered, and the corpse of the monster leader fell.
The entire group of monsters exploded in an instant, and the squeaky screams rang out, and they frantically pounced on Arthur.
Arthur got up and ran, taking the strange scepter of the monster leader before running.
Arthur, who ran with all his might, quickly shook off the monsters far away, and he ran back to the black woods in one go, this time without the monsters to stop him.
The moment he stepped into the woods, the long-lost magic in his body finally worked smoothly, and the magic elements in the space were also extremely active.
Arthur took out the "Space Wormhole" magic scroll from the bracelet, and with a little magic power, he could go home.
When Arthur was about to tear it open, he hesitated and put the magic scroll back again. He remembered Shalene's request to learn more about this strange world.
Arthur gripped his Starfall sword again and slowly walked deeper into the woods.
There are still small monsters rushing out of the woods, but they are no longer a threat to Arthur in terms of numbers, and they are easily solved.
After walking more than a hundred meters into the woods, Arthur's eyes suddenly opened up, and a large village appeared in the woods.
After killing the last of the monsters that had burst out of the stockade, Arthur stepped straight inside.
This village is not small, but it is very primitive and simple. Black branches enclosed the wall, and inside the stockade were black spired huts made of bark, bound by a tan vine that Arthur had never seen before. Arthur wanted to tear off a piece of vines and put them in the bracelet, but found that these vines were very tenacious, and they didn't break at once.
Arthur also kept an eye out for their food, pulling out some dark red moss and brown mushroom food from the cabin, and more jerky from unknown creatures. Arthur hadn't seen any of these things on the way here, and it seemed that their food source should have come from the other side of the woods, and the world was not as sparse as Arthur had imagined at the beginning.
Arthur walked through the stockade with the feeling of walking into Lilliputia, and most of the roofs were no more than shoulder-high. Arthur's attention was naturally caught by a tall building in the center of the stockade, a circular altar made of red stone.
In the center of the altar stood a tall statue, carved out of black wood on the outside, so rough that it was impossible to see the face clearly, except that one hand was crossed over the chest and the other hand was holding a scepter. Far from being like those monsters with sharp mouths, the statues resemble more of a human race.
Arthur guessed that this should be the idol of the village or tribe, and Arthur looked at the idol with a feeling of déjà vu.
"Charlene probably knows. Arthur thought and reached out to the idol.
At this moment, it seemed that a huge projection was projected into the body of the statue from the sky, and a huge energy fluctuation was instantly transmitted from the wooden statue. The huge energy made Arthur feel a huge sense of oppression, and it seemed that the statue would come to life in the next second.
"Pretending to be a ghost!" said Arthur's fighting spirit, and the Starfall Greatsword slashed at the statue's head, intending to split it in half.
The statue was truly alive in that moment, the hand that was across its chest rose upward, and the scepter in the other hand began to glow with a black halo.
Arthur's sword slashed into the statue's raised hand, and with a click, half of the wooden arm below the forearm fell to the ground.
The huge energy was still increasing rapidly, and the oppressed Arthur could barely stand upright, let alone slash out a second sword, and the end of the scepter in the statue's hand was already aimed at Arthur, and the black light on it flickered faster.
Arthur roared, and the fighting energy of his whole body gushed out without leaving a trace, resisted the oppression, rolled forward and grabbed half of his arm on the ground, and at the same time ripped open the spatial magic scroll......
......
Sharin paced slowly around the room with her teacup, and the magical halo that obscured her face when she was alone disappeared, revealing a pretty face. A pair of bright eyes, shallow eyebrows, a small straight nose bridge and fair skin, a face like an angel.
A crack suddenly opened in front of Shalene, the gap widened and emitted a shining white light, and the next second Arthur fell out of the gap and fell to the floor.
With a shake of her hand, the teacup fell to the ground, and the tea spilled all over the floor, muttering, "You're back?"
Arthur lay on the ground and couldn't get up for a while, trying to raise his head, "Professor Shalene, you are so young!"
"Ahh
"Are you surprised that I can come back?" Arthur apparently heard Shalene's whisper.
"No, it's great that you're back, I've been waiting for you. Shalene hurriedly stepped forward and slowly helped Arthur to his feet.
Arthur flipped his hands and poured a large amount of things onto Saraen's table, including the corpse of a small monster.
Salene was so shocked that she covered her mouth with one hand, and she couldn't believe it.
Arthur sorted out his thoughts a little and described the encounter on this trip to Shalene in detail. Shalene also interjected from time to time, asking for a lot of details.
Arthur's trip obviously greatly exceeded Saraen's expectations, and for a while after Arthur finished speaking, Saraen was still immersed in thought.
"Thank you, this trip has been hard, even if the bracelet is officially given to you, I promised you that I will look for you again in a few days. ”
Arthur didn't say anything more, and stood directly in the middle of the magic array.
"Wait a minute, there's one more thing ......" Arthur suddenly spoke when Shalene was about to wave his hand to launch the magic array, and Shalene's hand stopped in mid-air.
"Charlene, you're so good-looking!"
In a flash of light, Arthur vanished, and Salene remained stunned, her face inexplicably red.
......
When Arthur returned to the room in a hurry, Arno was not in the room, and there was a layer of dust in the room, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.
Arthur knocked on Moral's door, and a chubby white face poked out from behind the door.
Morar was stunned for a moment, and then hugged Arthur, "Boss, you're finally back, I thought you were dead?"
"You're dead, it's only been how long you've gained weight again. It took a lot of effort for Arthur to break free from Moral's embrace.
Only then did Arthur see Arnold, who was blocked by Moral's fat body, and said with a smile: "You are not in the room, I guess you are eating and drinking here at Moral." ”
Arnold smiled shyly, "You're back, then I'll pack my things and go back to our room now." ”
Arthur didn't pay attention, and Arnold's eyes were already moist when he turned around.
"Boss, the timing of your return is too opportune, teach me how to play this year's year-end assessment?" Moral didn't ask Arthur where he was during this time, but couldn't wait to ask for help.
"Are you sick? Isn't this year's year-end assessment just over?"
"Impossible, haven't you started yet?" Morar looked confused as Arthur asked.
Arthur himself was confused, and Morar didn't look like a joke at all.
Sarah's surprised expression, the dust in his room, Morar's weight in a circle, several things were strung together, Arthur suddenly realized something, he suddenly grabbed Moral's arm, "You tell me, how long have I been away this time?"
"A year!"
