The two of them padded their feet, and hurried through the cave-like and rugged corridors without making any movement as much as possible.

Before passing by the room where the old witch usually rested, both Oqili and Thor were so nervous that they stopped breathing.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen, and the two passed through the old witch's room without any problems.

It wasn't until Oqili had suppressed the Witchcraft Circle at the entrance of the cave with a potion and escaped with Thor that the old witch still hadn't appeared behind them.

The two carefully walked through the hole without triggering the alarm, and finally left the old witch's stronghold.

It was late at night outside, and the starry sky overhead added a little brilliance to the dim world.

Ahead are several gentle hills and barren fields.

Seeing the scenery outside, and then looking at the hole behind him, Thor felt a little emotional, they had been locked in a hole in the ground all this time.

When they left the cave and looked back, they found that when viewed from the outside, the hole had become a fist-sized rat hole. And there is not a single magic wave emitted from it.

It seems that this is how the old witch eludes her pursuers.

They ran all the way to the nearest hill before hiding behind a few lonely aloe vera.

"Alright, let's go our separate ways." Oqili, whose chest was constantly heaving, said suddenly.

"Separated? But ......" Thor was interrupted again before he could finish speaking.

"Since they came out, they naturally fled according to their abilities. Now is not the time to relax, the old witch is very good at finding people. I'm asking you to improve your strength as soon as possible, not just to get out of the cage. What is really terrifying is the follow-up pursuit. We're all in this together, the target is too big and it's easier to get caught. I'm going to run that way, you remember to change directions. Ochili's lips collided quickly, and he explained a few words to Thor.

Then the whole body disappeared into the black mist, and floated away in the direction he said.

Thor looked at the remnants of Ochiri's sorcery, but he stood there and did not run away immediately.

He put one hand on his right arm, which had just been grabbed by Oqili, and said thoughtfully, "So...... Which direction should I go? ”

……

During the escape, Ochili had been calm, but his heart was about to skip a beat.

Imprisoned by the old witch for three years, he longed for freedom all the time, and was threatened by the shadow of death all the time.

He had been planning for more than a year for this escape plan.

The sorcery materials he had had Sol steal were only a small part of them, and he had been secretly hiding them for future needs a year earlier.

It's just that there are some important materials that are difficult to get hold of, and the old witch will always keep an eye on him, and if it weren't for Thor and him working together, he wouldn't be able to get the last few materials together.

Now he's finally managed to get out!

Oqili, who had been running for most of the night, stopped at a col, took out a plant root that could restore his magic from behind him, and devoured it in a big gulp.

Swallowing such untreated materials directly is actually toxic, but Oqili doesn't want to waste time now.

In the past three years, he has already accumulated a lot of toxicity in his body, and he can only wait for his freedom to be regained and then slowly resolved.

And now all he has to do is race against time. He had to get to the nearest Wind Demon territory before the old witch could use the magic mirror to find him.

As long as he finds the wind demon's subordinates and reports the old witch's whereabouts, he will not only be safe from now on, but also get a lot of money.

It's just that it will take three days to get from here to the nearest territory of the Wind Demon.

There is too much uncertainty during this period.

Luckily, there was someone who could help him stall for time.

Waiting for his magic to recuperate, Ochili turned his head to look into the distance, revealing a twisted smile.

"Thor, run quickly, use all your strength, try all means, run as fast as possible, run as far as possible! In this way, the old witch will spend more time searching for your breath. ”

When Ou Qili prepared the potion, he actually prepared another material.

When applied to the body, this material initially has the effect of concealing the aura, but if it is not erased with a special agent within twelve hours, it will begin to emit an extremely obvious smell of fireworks.

And the old witch, who always used this material to evade pursuit, was naturally extremely familiar with this smell.

When she woke up, she would naturally go to catch Thor who had a small tail first.

It also prolonged the time for Oqili to escape in disguise.

And it was when Rasol was out of the cage that Oqili deliberately smeared this material on his arm.

As for the bit of contamination on his hands, it was naturally washed away when he escaped from Thor's sight.

As long as Thor can survive the day, Oqili is sure that he can run to the territory of the Wind Demon!

……

Three days later.

Ochili hid in the grass and looked out at a settlement ahead.

There were no houses made of masonry and wood in the settlement. In their place were huge tents.

The tents in the center are the largest, and other tents are erected around it.

Because the Borderlands is a place where danger can happen at any time, all of the Wind Demon's subordinates will choose this tent that is easy to disassemble and move as a station.

"This should be the territory of the Wind Demon. Look at the size of the tent in the middle...... There should be a second-order wizard stationed here. ”

Oqili was overjoyed, if there was only one wizard stationed here, it would at most make the old witch's pursuit of him more concealed, but it would not be able to stop the other party.

But if there is a second-level wizard stationed here, the old witch will definitely weigh it before coming in, and whether it will attract more enemies.

"Now there are only the last 300 meters left." Occhili did not let his guard down, and as he cautiously advanced, he tried to cover his body with his gray-yellow robe stained with sand.

He was coated with the kind of material that would hide his breath, and it would be washed off immediately when the time came.

Now that he's just applied the new material, there's still plenty of time.

"Just wait until I see that second-order wizard......"

Suddenly, two people came out of the settlement, talking and laughing.

Oqili didn't dare to show up immediately, and only crouched aside and performed a concealment technique.

Those two people exuded the fluctuations of wizard apprentices. Perhaps because they were not far from the settlement, they were not vigilant at this time, and they were still talking about the latest news.

It also happens to be related to the old witch.

"I've heard that someone has found traces of the old witch."

"Ha, Lord Wind Demon has already sent more people to arrest her. When the old witch is caught, we don't have to worry about the people around us disappearing if they don't understand it. ”

At this time, the first person suddenly lowered his voice, "Do you know, it is said that the last time the old witch appeared, she actually hurt Lord Wind Demon......"

The voices of the two men were getting lower and lower, and Oqili couldn't hear them clearly.

But judging from the information he had just gotten, he could have reported the old witch's whereabouts here.

Maybe the second-order wizard here will reward him for this!

Ochili's eyes lit up, and he was about to get up from the ground.

Suddenly, his legs went numb, and he couldn't use his strength at all.

O'Chilli's heart was beating wildly, and a bad thought came to his mind.

He opened his mouth to shout, but when he did, he made a sound not much louder than his breath.

"Wouldn't it? No, it won't! ”

"No, it won't! No, it won't! No!! ”

In the next second, the soil under Oqili's feet loosened, and the whole person actually fell.

"Who?" The two apprentices, who had just been communicating in a whisper, suddenly noticed something unusual.

"Hmph, sometimes it's not good to be too alert."

An eerie voice sounded, and then the flesh and blood on the two apprentices began to roll and fall, as if there was an invisible knife, cutting their bodies quickly, not even letting go of the skeleton!

Soon, everything returned to tranquility.

Ochili lay on his stomach in a deep pit of dirt, feeling a warm liquid dripping down his head, slowly soaking his face.

"Are you running fast?" The old witch pressed behind Ochili's back.

She hung her head down, the little finger of her braid just on Ochiri's nose.

"It's over!" Oqili clenched his teeth, desperate in his heart.

He lost the bet.

"That bastard kid is so useless, he didn't even survive a day!"

He couldn't help but hate Thor who cooperated with him, and felt that the little wizard could only study, and everything else was useless.

The old witch heard Ochiri's muttering and slowly grinned, "Ho-ho, why, did you run away with Thor at that time?" ”

Oqili was stunned, how could the old witch ask that?

The old witch's voice continued to ring in his ears, "Do you know that...... That kid didn't run at all? ”
