Chapter 268: The Bell Rings
Billy gritted his teeth, his face unusually ugly, "That grave phalanx outside is not a ritual to assist in the curse. It's simply a bait, a bait that people who know some curse cultivation knowledge can't help but step into. ”
Seeing Billy so angry for the first time, Angela's expression gradually became solemn, "Is it so dangerous?" Are you not even sure? ”
Although she felt that she had experienced many crises in the past few days since she left the tower, Billy had never been so dignified as she was today.
As he ran, Billy looked back at Angela with complicated eyes, which made the latter chuckle in his heart.
"I'll protect you." With that, he took Angela to another path.
Strangely, as soon as they stepped into the new street, the sound of the tide behind them disappeared.
Billy stopped and looked back into the alley.
The red water that chased the heels of the two at the entrance of the alley also disappeared.
Billy frowned, and was thinking about the reason for triggering the curse when he suddenly heard Angela beside him exclaim.
"Thor, why are you here?"
Thor had just come out of the house where the wandering wizard's apprentice lived.
He looked down at the small cloth bag he was carrying in his hand and sighed in his heart.
"There is indeed some stock of grinding fruit here, but unfortunately most of it has rotted. I picked and chose to get more than 10 of them. In this way, if you want to do a long-term consciousness platform experiment, these grinding sound fruits can last at most twice. ”
There may be other places in stock, but it is not possible for Thor to stay in town all the time.
He hadn't forgotten the death warning issued by his diary.
The longer you stay and the more places you explore, the more likely you are to accidentally "stumble into the background".
"Anyway, I've got some, maybe two more experiments and I'll be able to turn the diary into my locator completely. Let's find a way to get out for now. I don't know where Mokimo ran to. As soon as Thor thought of this, he suddenly heard a bell echoing.
"Is there a clock tower in this town?" Thor recalls for a moment, "It seems like there was one. ”
Almost every town has a bell tower that is used to gather civilians like this, so Thor didn't pay much attention to it last time.
Thor who heard the bell did not intend to join in the fun, but ran in the direction away from the bell, the entrance to the town's gate.
He is not greedy, and he came to this place to find the fruit of the grinding sound. Now that the fruit has arrived, it's time to leave.
As for Mokimochi?
The other person may not want to leave.
Now it should be just him and Mokimo in the town.
The bell just now was probably made by Mokimochi. And seeing that he deliberately parted ways with Thor halfway, I knew that he might not necessarily welcome Thor over.
So, without hesitation, Thor walked out of this luxurious residential area, ran directly to the widest avenue in the center of the town, ready to follow the widest road to the gate of the town.
However, as soon as he stepped onto the avenue, he saw two people coming out of the alley diagonally opposite.
It turned out to be Billy and Angela.
"Why are they here?" Thor's mind raced.
Before he could make a decision, Angela on the other side happened to look up and saw Thor at a glance.
"Thor, why are you here?"
Hearing Angela's call, Billy also turned his head to look at it instantly.
He had just been so preoccupied with analyzing the red tide that he hadn't noticed anyone else on the street.
However, seeing Saul, Billy was not as surprised as Angela.
It seems that it is not something incomprehensible to think that Thor is here.
Since he had already collided head-on, Thor did not deliberately avoid it.
"I'm getting out of here, what about you?" Thor immediately stated that he had no intention of fighting for the source of the curse in the town.
The vision in the town hadn't gone away, and since Mokimo could tell from the grave phalanx outside, there was a source of curse here. Then it is impossible for Billy, who has a higher reputation than him among the third-level apprentices, not to see it.
Billy is a Level 3 apprentice who can make Mentor Gudo depressed.
However, to Saul's surprise, Billy made the same decision as him.
"We're leaving, too."
Angela looked at Thor, then at Billy, and finally stood in the middle and spread her hands, "That's right, let's go together." ”
In Angela's opinion, Billy is a senior third-level apprentice, and Thor is a student of the tower master, and both of them are very powerful.
If the town was really as horrible as Billy said it was, and acting with these two good apprentices, she would have a better chance of escaping.
It's just that Angela's left hand is not as happy as she is.
It tugged at Angela's chest uneasily, looking like the most nervous one on the scene.
Thor was stunned, but he didn't expect that their purpose was not to find the source of the curse.
The latter, with a gloomy face, nodded to Thor. Approved Angela's proposal.
At this moment, another bell rang, and the three of them turned their heads to look at the same time.
At the end of this avenue, there is a small square, and directly opposite the square is an old bell tower that is not very tall.
From their angle, they could just see Zhong Ling shaking at the top of the bell tower.
There was a rope attached to Zhong Ling underneath, obviously the kind of person who shook the rope and drove the bell tongue inside to strike the sound.
But they did not see the one who rang the bell.
As the bell rang, the sound of the wave once again surrounded Thor like a stereo.
This time, the sound is closer.
Seems to be nearby!
Thor knew that if he stayed any longer, he would probably run into the red tide head-on.
"Let's go." Thor greeted and immediately ran towards the town gate.
Angela kept an eye on the movements of the two, and when she saw Thor running first, she didn't hesitate to follow. She felt that since she and Thor had both run away, there was no way Billy would stay where she was.
Sure enough, footsteps sounded behind her in the next second.
The three of them ran wildly all the way, and no one took care of their demeanor at this time.
Fortunately, when they ran a few hundred meters, they left the sound of the wave behind.
They followed the way they had come back to the entrance of the town.
However, the city gate that appeared in front of everyone was intact, and a square wooden stake nearly two meters long was honestly inserted into the latch.
Angela covered her mouth in surprise, "How come?" When we entered, the gate had already been corroded. How is it intact again? ”
"The gate was intact when you came?" Thor also stared at the gate, "But when Mokimochi and I came in, we also broke the gate. ”
"It's not surprising, since it's a cage that catches people, it's natural to lock the cage door." Billy said coldly.
】
As the most powerful person present, he did not hide his clumsiness, and directly stepped forward to try to open the door.
He put a hand on the gate, releasing a green gas as he had done when he entered.
However, the gas that successfully corroded the gate when he came in hit a wall this time.
They wander outside the gate, seemingly touching it, but it just doesn't work.
Billy inhaled his breath back, and suddenly approached the gap between his hand and the door.
Then, with a gloomy face, he launched a more powerful corrosive claw at the gate.
The green talon hand slammed down on the door.
However, the gate did not move at all, not even leaving any traces.
After a few useless attacks, the Corrupting Claw reluctantly dissipated.
Angela was about to say something when she suddenly saw Thor unleash an arrow at the top of the wall.
But not too unexpectedly, the arrow slammed into an invisible barrier with a "ding", broke in two, and fell into the interior of the town.
"Looks like we've really been put in a cage." Thor muttered.
