White City, Wilderness District.

Because of yesterday's murder, there are far fewer people visiting the night market — about less than a third of the usual number — and most of them are men with strong martial arts.

Some shops feel that there is no money to be made in the face of such dismal customer flow, and they are already closed at dusk.

But even so, the three of Mihart still felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Mihart bought a dagger, and the mercenary merchant said that it was made from the backbone of a monster called the "two-headed forest snake".

This two-headed python is actually a giant python that lives in the Rift Forest, but as an intermediate monster, of course, it is different from ordinary non-poisonous pythons, it is larger in size and strength, and has two heads, and can also spread poisonous mist from its mouth to poison its prey.

If a person is in the poisonous mist of the two-headed forest worm, even if he covers his mouth and nose and holds his breath, their terrifying neurotoxins will penetrate into his body from the tiny pores, causing mental confusion and muscle paralysis, and finally become the food of this intermediate demonic beast!

What's even more amazing is that the venom of this two-headed forest snake is not stored in the gallbladder in the body, but in the spine! The main spine of the two-headed forest snake has forty-nine segments, but not every spine contains venom, but only an even-numbered spine stores venom, and the closer to the two heads of the spine, the more toxin it contains!

The dagger that Mishart had purchased was polished from the sixth and seventh main spines of a juvenile two-headed spine—the sliver between the sixth and seventh spine, which was the junction between the handle and the dagger. The handle is the seventh-section main backbone of the two-headed forest dragon, and the dagger blade is made of the sixth-section backbone, so even if this dagger has not yet been coated with alchemy poison, it has already carried a huge amount of neurotoxin!

Ejasen had already stripped off his linen clothes and put on a fine fur suit, which looked very peugeot. It is made from the fur of a magical beast called the "Shadowless Sand Fox" from the Kalarubha Desert, which automatically adjusts its temperature according to the surrounding temperature, cooling down when it is hot and heating up when it is cold, so even if you wear it all year round, not only will you not have any problems caused by the change of seasons, but you will feel extremely comfortable.

What's more, the Shadowless Sand Fox is proficient in a high-level invisible magic that is not easy to capture, and the secret lies in the fact that their fur not only automatically adjusts its temperature, but also changes color at will under the impetus of magical energy!

It's a pity that the current little Ai Yusen can't do it.

But just because you can't do it now doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future!

Aninotes didn't buy any "black goods" himself, but he just held a roast rabbit leg in one hand, and ate it happily, munching on the fragrant barbecue meat, and said inarticulately: "Aenossen, tomorrow, can you help me make some roast rabbit legs? Is the money you give you enough? If you run out, I'll get you a little more when I go back." ”

Watching as Agnites threw away the bones in his hand, he immediately handed over the linen clothes he had changed, and replied, "I haven't used up the coins I gave last time, so I don't need to give them to me again." Brother Aninotes, do you still want to eat rabbit legs tomorrow?"

"Of course, I'll trouble you to run again tomorrow," Aninotes wiped the grease off his hands with the clothes he had changed, and looked at Michat, "Tomorrow morning, you will accompany Ayerson to the wilderness again, okay?"

Mihart didn't say a word all the way, thinking about all the strange things that had happened in the past few days, but nodded at Aninotes, without words.

Suddenly, there was a soft sobbing sound from the street ahead. It was not so much that the cry came from the front, but that it sounded directly from Mishart's head, for the low, suppressed cry sounded unusually soft and tactful, as if it had life, and at once it entered Michart's ears, and circled in his mind faster and faster.

Mihart's consciousness gradually blurred, and his body became softer and softer......

"Mihat! Mihat...... Ayssen!

Annites' anxious cries came from his ears......

Wrong!

There's definitely something strange about this sound!

Mikhat was frightened, and his consciousness instantly sobered up, but he found that he had taken several straight steps forward, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't control his steps forward again and again!

What the hell is going on!

Damn, I must have fallen for some kind of magic!

But where is this magician who secretly casts his magic hidden?

As a Duo Saik, he is born with a resistance to magic in his blood, and the tea that Ai Yusen has brewed these days is also made with the red frost flower that can increase the resistance of illusion magic!

Fortunately, he had the blood of the Duosaik clan in his body, so he barely managed to be completely controlled!

But what about little Ai Yansen, who is an Imperial?

Although Mihart's whole body could not move, his consciousness was very clear, his head was thinking rapidly, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ai Yusen quickly walk to his side, squatted down, and without hesitation, pulled out the dagger made of the spine of the two-headed forest worm from his boot, and stabbed it at Aninotes!

What does he want to do!

Agnotes fought himself to the death against five windborn warriors at the Sleeping Dryad Inn to save his life, and he wanted revenge?

This is absolutely impossible to happen!

Don't...... Is he crazy?

Or is everything you see hallucinating?

Mishart couldn't believe his eyes.

Aninotes was also shocked when he saw Ai Yan Sen stabbing at him with a poisonous dagger, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, and in a hurry, with a wave of his left hand, a light purple magic energy flashed, and immediately flew Ai Yan Sen out, but he saw that the little guy's eyes were extremely hollow, and he didn't even scream when he fell to the ground, and the whole person was like a shell that had been extracted from his soul!

Puppetry!

This kind of magic is one of the intermediate illusion magic that I am proficient in!

Aninotes suddenly realized, and secretly blamed himself for being slow to react, seeing that Ai Yansen had already climbed up from the ground, holding the dagger in his hand, and rushed towards him again, he immediately raised his left hand again, but he couldn't bear to hurt this little guy who was controlled by magic, he just pressed him to the ground with magic energy, and at the same time recited a spell in his mouth!

Casting illusion magic in front of my Aninotes?

That's a big joke!

Aninotes finished reciting the incantation in the blink of an eye, sneered, and immediately two azure circles of light bounced out of the palm of his right hand, hitting Mihart and Ayssen at the same time.

As the blue circle of light swam around him from head to toe, Mikhat suddenly felt his whole body loosen, and he regained control of his limbs and torso, thinking that the magician hiding in the shadows should continue to attack, so he immediately took the dragon bone shield from his back, and pulled out the short sword at his waist with his other hand.

Ai Yansen's face turned pale with fright, and he threw the double-headed forest dagger in his hand far away at once, for fear that he would pick up the dagger and stab at the life-saving benefactor again inexplicably, and hurriedly explained to Aninotes: "Brother Aninotes, it wasn't me just now......"

"You don't have to say it, I understand. Aninotes said, staring straight ahead, his face suddenly changed wildly, and his hands stretched forward as if trying to catch something.

Seeing that Aninotes looked like he was facing a great enemy, Mikhat vaguely guessed in his heart that there should be some danger coming ahead, and without hesitation, he pulled up Ayerson on the ground, and then steadily held the dragon bone shield, stood in front, and protected the two behind him.

Suddenly, Mihart felt the space around him distort, the street where the three of them were standing, the houses next to the street, the ground under their feet, and the two moons in the sky...... The surface of all these things is rippled in layers, like ripples on the surface of the water after a stone falls into the water!

The ripples swayed more and more violently, and then slowly disappeared.

The streets of the wilderness area that were still in front of us just now have long disappeared without a trace!

In front of the three of them, there was a huge cave entrance! In the gray sky, there was a blood-red full moon, like a huge pupil, staring straight at the three of them!

Mihart looked back, and was suddenly frightened—

Behind him is a steep cliff, the cold wind is howling below, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and there is no bottom in sight!

"This ...... What the hell is going on!" Mihart asked, looking at Agnites in shock, stammering.

"This is a space simulated by illusion magic. Now, let me take on the dreammaker who pulled us in!" replied Aninotes with a solemn face.

About ten seconds later, Mikhat heard the sound of countless wings fluttering from the dark cave ahead, as if thousands of sparrows were flying towards him in unison, and as the sound grew louder and closer, their timbre became more and more intelligible under the enhanced effect of the enchanted leather armor on the insight—

The thrilling sound of thousands of birds flapping their wings was mixed with thousands of piercing screams, and the terrifying sound waves stirred up circles of rapidly rippling ripples in the air, squeezing towards the three of Mihat!

"Aninotes, think of a way!" Mihart turned his head slightly, and shouted to the little magician.

Aninotes had already recited the incantation in his mouth, and two orange halos wrapped around his hands, and countless orange threads shot from his hands to the hole, quickly weaving into a huge spider web!

Between the silk threads glowing with a faint orange light, in the fine and narrow gaps, there was a faint flickering barrier, which instantly filtered the spreading sound cleanly!

It's a barrier technique, but with the same magic that Aninotes used in the battle at the inn - spider webs!

The little magician actually combined two spells and cast them at the same time!

Finally, an overwhelming swarm of vampire bats flew out of the dark cavern, each with blood-red eyes, mouth wide open, sharp fangs, scrambling to crash into the huge orange cobweb!

To Mihart's surprise, he clearly saw that the vampire bats that were swooping at him with great virtuosity had passed through the orange cobweb with great success, and still pounced on him, as if the cobweb and barrier were completely non-existent!

Isn't this enlarged version of spider web supposed to trap all these horrible bats?

Could it be that the protective effect of barrier surgery is not enough?

Or did Agnites underestimate his opponent?

Mikhat speculated uneasily in his heart, but he didn't dare to look up when he saw that the little magician's face did not change, and he did not dare to look up as the vampire bats attacked one after another to knock his dragon bone shield into a "knock knock".

However, the sound of "thump" lasted for nearly two minutes, and Mishart finally realized that something was wrong!

Now that these vampire bats have passed through the barriers and cobwebs of Aninotes, why don't they attack? Even the screams have stopped?

Mikhat looked down suspiciously, only to find that he had been surrounded by a large pile of vampire bat corpses pressed by the black press—

Each of these vampire bats lying motionless on the ground had shriveled skin, shrunken bodies, and dull fur, as if all their life force had been drained, and they all aged in an instant, and finally all died miserably!

You know, vampire bats have a lifespan of up to 30 years! Even if these bats are adults, they can only take seven years from birth to adulthood.

So where is the remaining twenty years of life?

In just one second, these bats have already completed their life cycle...... No, no, no, to be precise, it should be directly and brutally deprived of more than twenty years of life!

This spell of Aninotes is definitely not a simple superposition of spider web and barrier techniques!

This...... This is clearly terrifying source magic! Yes, you can't be wrong, Aninotes had said before enchanting his short sword that he majored in illusion magic and minored in source magic! Moreover, he had also used healing magic when he was beaten unconscious!

Mikhat figured out the mystery of the little magician's spell, and when he looked up, he saw that the large net at the exit of the cave, which was still orange, had turned into a shocking scarlet after absorbing the life source power of countless vampire bats!

After the last bat passed through the scarlet light net and turned into a small corpse, Aninotes' outstretched hands suddenly pulled back, and the huge light net was immediately withdrawn by him, turning into two red balls of light!

Agnoides looked at the darkness ahead, raised his eyebrows, and said sharply, "Your bats are finished, aren't they?"
