Chapter 142: The Mystery of the Mirror 11
"It's a pity that there is no book I want, and the book I want is here with you at this time, so do you hand it over obediently, or do you toast and not eat and drink?" Mark said with a grin, if there were only a single manpower, Mark seemed to have the advantage, and behind him, there were more than a dozen people standing eyeing at him.
"If I'm not mistaken, your task is to find the book, just like I am. And the people behind you, their mission is to keep you safe, right?" Wood looked at the dozen or so people behind Mark.
Although they should not be the match for Suri and Pekney on their own, they have the advantage of being outnumbered, and if they do have to argue with them, Wood is not sure that Suremant and Pekney will be able to win them over as many people.
"That's right, you're right, my mission is the same as yours, and when I learned the news, I was actually very happy. Mark said with a grin, as if this time he had won the game.
"yes, if your mission is really exactly the same as mine, it should be you doing it alone, not with so many people behind you. Otherwise, let's find a place where no one is around, and see who can win in the end, and the winning side can get the book. Wood felt that this was the only way at this time, he didn't want Su Rui and the others to be affected by himself, even if they won this time, then they would have to make countless enemies in the class in the future.
"Okay, then let's find a place where no one is, but don't blame me for not reminding you, if you're hurt by me, you can't complain to Headmaster Brooke that I'm bullying you. Mark had a triumphant smile on his face.
"Wood, Mark is a very cunning man, you have to be careful. Su Rui knew that since Wood had already decided, no matter how much she persuaded her, she couldn't change it, so she had to remind Wood to be careful.
Today, Mark was able to agree to Wood's conditions so readily, presumably Mark must have planned it a long time ago, so Su Rui could only remind Wood to be more careful.
Wood and Mark came to a more remote place, where the woods were sparse and the grass beneath their feet was lifeless.
Mark walked ahead of Wood, and as he walked, Wood noticed that Mark's figure began to change. Mark, who was only ten years old, began to grow taller slowly. Wood realized that Mark was not him at all, and looked at the man who was gradually getting taller and taller, and Wood began to become nervous.
In the end, it wasn't a person standing in front of Wood at all, but a behemoth that was big enough to swallow Wood's entire person in one gulp.
"What are you?" Although Wood had tried to make himself look less frightened, he still had an imperceptible tremor as he spoke.
It was the first time Wood had faced a behemoth alone, and the other party looked eerie and black, and he couldn't tell if the other party was a monster or something more terrifying than a monster.
"What's wrong? Are you scared to see me?" A voice that made people feel cold all over their bodies when they heard it, Wood couldn't help but shake his whole body, the sound came from hell, and the cold voice was mixed with something terrifying.
Looking at the other party's huge body, the black long-distance running completely enveloped him, and Wood couldn't really see the other party's appearance. But those striking red eyes made Wood remember it vividly. This reminded Wood of the last time he saw the behemoth that suddenly emerged from the ground in the woods of the Bird Silent Academy.
Although Wood didn't see the other party's appearance clearly at that time, Wood could see that the other party's unexposed body must be very large, just like the behemoth standing in front of him at this time, their red eyes were almost identical.
"I remember you, you were the same one we met last time in the woods, right?" Wood felt a chill all over his body as he remembered what had happened that day, as if the air around him had become unusually cold.
"Since you know, then you quickly exchange the book in your hand to me, as long as you give me that book, I promise not to hurt you. The behemoth said menacingly, and as he approached Wood, he felt the ground around him begin to tremble slightly. That's because with every step the other person takes, the ground shakes slightly.
"Who the hell are you, this is Professor Siye's illusion, how did you get in?" Wood didn't want to hand over the book in his hand, nor did he want to confront the behemoth in front of him, so he just tried to stall for time.
After all, this is Professor Siye's illusion, and it's not something anyone can enter if they want to. If there is any danger in the illusion, Professor Theye will definitely be aware of it immediately, maybe Professor Theye is already on his way by this time, and Wood only needs to confront him until Professor Theer arrives.
"Don't think that anyone is going to come to your rescue, no one here will bother us until you hand over that book, including your Professor Siye. The behemoth seemed to have read through Wood's thoughts, and as the other man slowly approached, Wood couldn't help but retreat. It's just that the other party seems to have planned everything in advance, where they stand, there is a cliff behind them. If Wood had gone any further, he would have fallen off a cliff. Wood glanced down, and a cool breeze rushed up from the bottom of the cliff, and there was no bottom below, and if he fell from here, he would surely be crushed.
"Have you heard the story of the Ghost Mirror?" Wood thought about how he was going to delay his time and how he was going to escape, and it seemed that it was impossible to count on others to save him, so he had to figure it out on his own.
"I don't have that much patience to tell you a story, boy, give me that book, or you should know what I'm going to do to you. The behemoth was already close at hand, and he could easily push Wood into the cliff with just a hand.
Just as the behemoth reached out to grab Wood, suddenly, a figure flashed behind the behemoth. Before Wood could see the man's face clearly, the man stabbed the behemoth in the back.
The behemoth turned around, and the figure came to him quickly, and before he looked back, another sword was slashed at his body. Although both swords were deep piercing, they were nothing more than flesh wounds for the behemoth.
