Hearing the mage's reminder, Ronald, who remembered the monster's special surname, was startled.

Not an otherworldly creature from our plane, the legendary Petrified Eye!

He carefully guarded the front, while protecting the sweaty mage behind him: "Are you alright?"

Hearing the concern in Ronald's words, the mage smiled tiredly, "Get out of here first, go to the small cave before." ”

Ronald nodded, protecting the mage and slowly retreating behind him.

Seeing that there seemed to be a bright spot ahead, Ronald immediately raised his left hand, whether it was an enemy attack or not, he decided to trigger the Ice Mirror Technique first.

Bite!

The arrow pierced through the ice mirror that appeared out of thin air, but the blocked arrow soon fell to the ground silently as the rapid decay of the habitual name.

Ronald sighed in his heart.

It's really the same as the introduction in the book...... And also......

He began to agonize over the petrified Eye's demonic surname.

The mage saw the worry in Ronald's eyes: "Don't worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mage suddenly ripped off his injured left arm. The thin arm was thrown so lightly by the mage. With a snap, he fell lightly to the ground.

Anxiety immediately appeared on Ronald's resolute face.

Ha, ha.

The mage began to gasp for air. He grunted in his throat and motioned with his eyes for Ronald to hurry up.

Sou!

Ronald pulled the mage away, avoiding the arrow's trajectory.

In this way, the two of them slowly retreated, and held on for most of a quarter of an hour, until they finally retreated to the small cave they had found before. It wasn't until the two entered the hole that Ronald, who had been pursing his mouth, breathed a sigh of relief. After looking nervously out of the cave for a moment, he asked with concern about the mage's injury: "Why did you tear off your own arm?"

The mage did not answer Ronald's doubts, and with a sweaty and scorched face, he raised his staff, released a protective arrow at the entrance of the cave, and pulled Ronald into the depths of the cave.

Seeing the mage's serious expression, Ronald did not continue to ask questions, he protected the mage behind him, and cautiously observed the surrounding environment under the cover of the cave.

It was already gray outside, and Ronald saw that the snake girl Medusa had stayed in the distance for a short time, and then writhed into the trees. Ronald didn't dare to be careless, he poked his head out frequently, and waited until the gray sky turned clear and white, and then he lowered his heart a little.

"How?"

Ronald turned his head and asked the mage again with concern. He saw that there was not a drop of blood on the mage's torn sleeve.

Is it because of inhumanity?

He remembered the conversation that day, and thought that he might not be a normal human either, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Catching a glimpse of Ronald's expression, the mage guessed a few points, and he pointed to his severed arm: "That arrow just now has completely penetrated my upper arm bone, since it is crippled, just tear it off." ”

Ronald pouted there, "Why is there no blood?"

Whew, whew.

The mage gasped a few times: "In order to continue life, you have to give up some. He shook his head: "It's a pity that the transformation is not complete, it is estimated that it is because of the hurry, and it should be carried out when the strength is stronger." ”

Ahem.

He coughed weakly a few times, then laughed: "Don't worry, as long as you go back, you can find a suitable arm to connect it." ”

"Can you still pick it up?" Hearing this, Ronald was completely relieved, but still asked him with concern: "Is it difficult?"

"Ahem, it's not too difficult. ”

As he spoke, he struggled to take out the water bladder from his spatial ring, leaned against the wall and gulped it down.

Ronald watched all this silently, and he blamed himself in annoyance for the untimely pull just now: "I should have thrown you to the ground at that time!"

Seeing Ronald's indignant expression clenching his fists, the mage wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It has nothing to do with you, I took the initiative to come here to investigate." He paused, and his expression became serious: "Later, you will continue to be vigilant for a while, I have to prepare." ”

"Hmm. Ronald nodded: "I see." ”

"And. The mage was a little worried that Ronald didn't know Medusa's special surname, so he told him everything he knew: "When fighting, you must keep a distance of more than one meter, and you must not get too close to Medusa and do not let her close to you." ”

"I know, she has petrified eyes. If you get too close and are directly stared at by her eyes, you will be petrified by the Petrified Eye. ”

"Since you know, I won't say more. The mage, who was leaning against the wall, smiled wearily and said no more. After he blessed his staff with the light spell, he endured the pain, probed his consciousness into his spatial ring, and began to search for the storage inside.

Ronald turned his head and watched the outside seriously.

The sky is full of red clouds, and the rising sun drapes the entire forest with a layer of pink feathers.

Squinted slightly by the distant Xuyue, Ronald glanced back at the mage uneasily. He saw that the sweat on the mage's forehead had dissipated, and he was taking out some strange materials to draw a magic circle on the ground.

He just glanced at it, didn't dare to ask more, and quickly focused his attention on the outside of the cave.

The two of them did their own things like this, and it lasted until noon, when the mage stopped his busy figure and whispered to break the quiet atmosphere: "Okay." ”

Ronald turned his head and saw a circle of red powder on the ground.

Before he could ask, the mage took the initiative to explain the effect of the circle: "The Eye of Perspective, when used with the Eye of the Eagle, with my ability, should be able to probe the scene within five or six hundred meters of the surrounding area. As he spoke, he wiped his sweat lightly: "You'll be on guard for me later." ”

Ronald nodded and turned his head back.

After blessing himself with the Eye of the Eagle, the mage solemnly walked to the center of the circle, took out a small magic crystal and put it at his feet, and began to close his eyes and began to recite the spell of the spell silently. Unlike the previous spells, this time he recited them in a whispered language that was said to be the language used by the Demon God.

"O god of order from the netherworld, please take a moment to listen to the humble pleas of the netherworld. ”

As he chanted, the circle began to glow with a strange red light. Christine grasped the staff in her right hand and held it upright on her chest, and the staff began to shimmer with a flickering red sheen.

"Allow me to borrow your great will to channel the power of the Netherworld through my eyes, turning everything in front of me into nothingness, and dissolving all obstacles around me. ”

"See-through eyes!"

As the spell was completed, Christine's closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyeballs seemed to disappear, leaving only black, hollow, but unusually deep sockets. In that eye socket, there seemed to be countless stars circulating in it, and there was no bottom in it.

Christine moved her head slowly, scanning her surroundings with a deep gaze.

In his dark and deep eyes, the scene around him was like veins woven of transparent silk threads, compressed and reduced and glowing with crystal transparency. With the combination of the Eye of the Eagle and the Eye of Perspective, he looks down proudly over his surroundings like a giant with a bird's eye view.

"Found it!"

The mage suddenly screamed excitedly.

Ha, ha.

As soon as he finished his excited words, his whole face turned scorched and he looked extremely tired. The mage coughed incessantly, and fine sweat glistened once again on his emaciated cheeks. The circle on the ground also faded into silence and dim after a fiery flicker.

Ronald hurriedly rushed over and helped the mage up: "Are you alright?"

Christine raised her head and barely smiled at Ronald, who was full of concern: "It's okay, although this spell is not of high level, it is too mana-intensive, I have to rest first, and then set off later." ”

Ha, ha, ha.

He said too much at once, and his chest rose and fell sharply again. After a short pause, the mage raised his staff and pointed in a certain direction, and continued: "Medusa is hidden in the cave over there, and there are no other magical beasts around. ”

"You can rest for a while, and don't talk too much. Ronald glanced in the direction the mage was pointing, and then helped him to sit down against the edge of the mountain.

The mage smiled hard and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Ronald, who had not closed his eyes all night, after glancing at the mage with concern, rubbed his swollen eyes and continued to dutifully act as a guard.

He pulled out his water bladder and dry bread and leaned against the edge of the hole. In order not to disturb the mage's rest, he began to eat in small bites. There was a slight chewing sound, and Ronald's eyes kept looking around carefully, even as he nibbled on dry bread.

The midday sun had barely moved a small step before the mage woke up from his meditation.

Ronald heard a slight sound behind him and immediately turned his head: "Don't take a break?"

The mage shook his head, and he put away the short wooden staff and took out the crystal instead.

Ronald saw that the mage carefully wiped the red circle off the ground and redrew a six-pointed circle on the ground.

"Temporary teleportation circle, if the distance is no more than a thousand meters, as long as you crush the resonant magic crystal, you can teleport us back. The mage seemed to understand Ronald's doubts at the moment, and he explained briefly, "After all, we are dealing with otherworldly creatures. ”

He suddenly raised his head with a cautious gaze: "Just in case." ”

Ronald didn't speak, just quietly watched it all. Soon, the mage had finished drawing the circle, and there were about twenty magical words inside the circle that Ronald did not understand. In the end, the mage embedded six magic crystals of extremely similar size into the six tops of the circle, and then he took out two more magic crystals and knelt beside the drawn circle, muttering the syllables of the spell in his mouth.

A faint light flashed, and after the magic crystal in the mage's hand and the magic circle on the ground resonated slightly, the words shining on the magic circle became dim.

After getting up, Christine handed a magic crystal to Ronald: "The time limit is one day, and the maximum distance is a thousand meters." ”

"Hmm. ”

Ronald took the crystal into his arms.

Then, the mage took out another magic crystal and quickly absorbed the magic power contained inside. It took three pieces in a row before he stopped the process of repeating the extraction.

"Let's go. ”
