In front of him is a bottomless black hole as a dark abyss, and behind him is a brutal and ruthless pursuer who shoots with a spear.

No, you can't do that!

Alexei seemed to read the pleading in the eyes of the living lizard, but he still grabbed the Javani arm and threw it into the pit first, turning back with a dense stream of bullets all over his body.

The mana in the wand is running out of power, and it is still consumed at a high rate.

On the crumbling surface of the shield, the invisible ripples seemed to turn into shattered petal stamens at any moment, sending a deadly bullet to the mage's heart.

In the gap between humans and lizards, under the shattered scales of the corpse servant, a slightly red flesh of carbonized flesh rolled out.

"It's really exciting. ”

He opened his mouth slightly and gasped, grabbed the door frame with his five fingers, and turned sideways.

With one finger of the staff, the corpse servant was beaten into a honeycomb body trotted two steps, and jumped under Alexey's instructions, in a free-fall position, castration heavy like a little firefly flickering in the middle of the night, and fell straight into the abyss.

"Stupid cold-blooded animal. ”

He turned his head to see that the heavily armed lizards were still in hot pursuit, more than twenty meters apart, the fire from the muzzles of their guns was continuous, and the huge impact hit Alexey's body and shook. The mage smiled and spat at them, and gave them a middle finger:

"Although you made me unhappy, the first time we met, I didn't care about your offense and provocation against me. Of course, as a gentleman, I may also wish the fortunate ones of you a happy stay in heaven, well, yes, I will leave a little parting gift, farewell, inferior animals, may you be baptized by fire and smoke forever. ”

After saying that, Alexey quickly unfastened a few buckles on his belt, and several bottles and cans fell down with his body. In the next second, the surging flames exploded above, Alexei chuckled, shook his fingers, and the light magic power was lifted under him like an arm, and the speed of his landing gradually slowed down, until he passed through the passage of hundreds of meters and could not see his fingers, and lightly stepped on the completely deflated car under his feet.

"A smell of commotion. ”

Alexei looked down at the lizard's body in disgust, and the mage knew the source of the smell - a light rain drifted from the bottom up while the yellowish liquid was still in mid-air, drenching the whole body of the initiator.

"Asking for trouble. ”

"Fragile spirit. ”

"Cumbersome flesh. ”

"You're good for nothing. ”

Alexei turned to look at the devastated corpse servant, which made him feel a little comfortable: "Sure enough, perfection will only exist in my hands. No feelings, no need to eat, only self-serving, never betrayal. ”

He tapped his staff on Javan's forehead and watched with interest as the great lizard, with a disgusting stench, swept away from him with tearful eyes.

"Weak stuff. ”

Closing his eyes, and when he opened them again, he removed the tail of the staff from the lizard's head, and muttered to himself, "Then let you breathe a little more air, and let your impurity-filled blood flow in your waste-like shell a little longer, and there will be no rush anyway." ”

Although the mage also wanted to make this shameful thing into a corpse, because Alexei considered the next experiment with the silk thread. He needs to take into account that if he can't guarantee the cardinality of the sample for the experiment, then he has to provide at least one or more variables.

Dead, alive, both.

"Let's go, my darlings. ”

Alexei raised his hand to find a gap in the mass of scrap metal beneath his feet, and he probed his way with his staff, discovering that there was still a small space underneath for a man to walk through.

Thus, the mage and his trophies were able to make their way through the smashed car and back to the room frozen by the ice wall, without encountering additional waves on the way.

"There were a few bumps, but overall it went well. ”

Alexey glanced at his feet, and the ice fog had cleared a lot. But at this moment, the mage who was going to solve the silk thread problem first had no time to care about these side matters, and he was sensible enough to keep the distance between himself and the ice wall, about ten steps away. And this part of the distance can ensure that he can have enough buffer time to think about how to deal with the unexpected happens.

"The main body of the ice wall was not damaged. ”

After using a probe, Alexey's brow furrowed slightly. He stared at the ice wall for a long time with a strange expression, and then came to a conclusion: "Indeed, there is no sign that the surface of the ice wall has been gnawed by silk threads, even on the side facing the room. The overall element of the ice cube did not disperse, and after I left, the ice wall was not attacked in any way. ”

"Isn't Silk Thread interested in ice?"

Alexei hesitated for a moment, but still swung his staff to melt a fist-sized hole in the ice wall, and he immediately ordered the corpse servant to put his claws into the hole to test how well the silk threads in the ice wall multiplied and whether they were aggressive.

But after ten minutes, Alexei still hadn't gathered any information about the threads on the corpse.

"Aren't you interested in dead flesh and blood? ”

So, the next thing it was the turn of the living creatures. Alexei called the corpse servant, supplemented by magic powers, and forced the live lizard's arm into the hole, but after waiting for almost five minutes, the live lizard, with a frightened expression, but apparently not in pain, roughly informed Alex of the situation in the room - the green silk threads that even the metal wanted to gnaw on seemed to be gone.

Strange.

Alexei imagined several possibilities in his mind, recited a spell on his lips, attached clarity to his eyes, and tightened his staff to take a closer look, only to find that the silk threads in the room had indeed disappeared completely.

"Where did they go?"

Alexei quickly broke through the ice wall, revealing a mess of ruins inside: "What happened?"

He approached the center of the house, and under the silver table lay an unfamiliar, but not unfamiliar, corpse - this was the last loyal corpse servant, in the whirlwind, drained of the magic in its body, it still faithfully carried out Alexei's orders, clutching the book, but the huge energy radiation had stopped, and it landed in a corner of the table, with small pieces of turquoise crystals beside it, with its back to the sky.

The mage took a step forward, and the fallen corpse showed that it was different from before touching the book, the lizard, which was still plump and was now a thin corpse with withered flesh and cracked scales.

From a distance, Alexei could see that its muscles were clinging to the bones, revealing the shape of most of its skeleton. And in the two missing eye sockets, the shrunken brain is intimately connected to the brown jerky, as if it is going through a half-cut cooking. Under the influence of clarity, the mage caught a glimpse of a bit of turquoise between the two blended ingredients, which he silently marked, but his cautious personality made him ready to probe the entire room before examining it.

Until then, he would never touch anything in the room to avoid the unexpected.

"Be careful. ”
