Thor followed the mountain movers down the avenue into the nearby Survivor Ancient Forest.

However, the mountain climber took a slight detour, avoiding the place where the seven blindfolded ordinary people had appeared.

Thor followed him all the way into the woods and up the hill.

Then the donkey cart stopped, and the driver went up the hill, and the man stood on the frame and lifted the black leather, leaving the top boy under the roots of the big tree beside him.

The donkey cart started again, leaving the motionless boy in place and continuing deeper into the forest.

Thor didn't follow, and stayed beside the boy.

He crouched down and rummaged through the boy's mouth, nose, and eyelids, and finally found a half-finger-long wooden thorn on the back of the boy's neck.

The wooden thorns are shallowly pierced under the skin and hang there.

He plucked the thorn off, sniffed it, and smiled faintly.

"Is that what they're using to disguise people as suspended animation?"

"Is this an underground deal? If discovered, it can easily turn a person into a real death. ”

Thor looked at the boy's hands and feet again.

Although the other party was only eleven or twelve years old, his hands were full of calluses, and he obviously worked a lot.

Looking at it, Thor let out a "huh".

He pinched the boy's skull and spine, "This boy has been raised. ”

Although the boy looks like he is in his teens, his actual age is likely to be only seven or eight years old.

He was like a wheat seedling in a field, fostered!

After some tossing and turning by Thor, the boy still did not wake up.

If this continues, he will change from fake death to real death.

"It seems that the people in this business don't care much about the survival rate of the goods."

The bearded man didn't know what to do, and completely sent the boy out of the settlement by faking his death. And the old man who climbed the mountain and the old man who guarded the gate should know about it.

They turn a blind eye, most of them can benefit from this way.

Judging from their current indifference to the boy, vested interests have been obtained, and the entrusted goods naturally do not need to be too careful.

Life and death are fate.

Or it's better to be dead.

No hidden dangers will be left behind.

Seeing that the vitality in the boy's body was gradually disappearing, Thor suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a healing technique fell, causing the boy who was about to enter the ravine of death to open his eyes suddenly.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

As soon as he opened his eyes, the boy coughed violently and crawled back from the death level, causing a lot of damage to his body.

When the boy finally regained his breath, he saw a man in a wizard's robe, crouching beside him.

Facing Thor, who had just saved his life, the boy had a frightened look in his eyes.

He subconsciously crawled backwards, trying to get away from Thor, but slammed into the tree behind him.

A few dead branches and leaves fell from their heads.

"Don't be afraid, it's useless to be afraid, I ask, you answer?"

The boy's back was pressed against the tree behind him, and he slid his throat with difficulty, swallowing his saliva, but his mouth was so dry that it hurt hotly.

After a moment, he regained his composure and nodded.

He stared at Thor like a rabbit just out of the nest.

"That bearded man is your father?"

The boy hesitated.

"Lying will kill you." Thor's voice didn't rise or fall in the slightest.

In the face of such a threat of death, the boy did not have the fear and panic that he had when he first found Thor standing beside him.

"Yes."

"When I came, I saw you running away, but you were pinned down by someone behind you and nailed two holes in your feet, what are you doing?"

"They said I was old enough to go into a meat nest. I saw, I saw the boy in front of me with a hole in the soles of his feet, and two more ants were put in, and he screamed in pain. I, I was scared, and I ran out. ”

"What's the matter with this wooden thorn?"

Thor lifted the wooden thorn he had pulled from the back of the boy's neck to the boy.

The boy looked blankly at the wooden thorn and shook his head.

"Then why were you thrown out again?"

The boy recalled for a moment.

"When I was caught, they put an ant in the center of my foot, but as soon as the ant crawled into the soles of my feet, I fainted in pain, and I didn't know what was going on."

"Oh, didn't your father tell you how to live after you left the gathering place?"

The boy was still dazed, but all could clearly hear his sudden rapid heartbeat.

"Sure enough, living in this kind of place, the real stupid Bai Tian would have died a long time ago." Thor shook his head in mind.

He didn't continue to dwell on the question. I just said this just to tell the boy that I've grabbed your pigtails and it's time to ask some in-depth questions.

"What is a meat nest?"

"Isn't this settlement allowed for the ordinary people inside to leave?"

"After the wizards here came in, did they leave a lot?"

Some of the boys answered their questions, while others just shook their heads and said they didn't know.

Having almost drained the boy's head of information, Thor got back to his feet.

He looked at the boy who was leaning weakly against the tree, digging out a little food from the storage and throwing it at him.

The small parcel that the boy's father handed over to the mountain climber should be the food that was intended to be left for the boy.

It's just that the mountain climber didn't intend to let the boy live, so he naturally found the food in the package.

"It's your reward for answering my questions, and of course if you tell the truth, you get more."

Thor turned around and prepared to continue into the mountain.

He was going to find a few hunchbacked termites.

If the formic acid of this termite can really be produced without any side effects, it can make wizards enter the high-speed state of the brain, then it will definitely become a rare witchcraft material in the future, and many wizards will compete for it.

It would be better for him to start researching it now.

It's just that since this hunchbacked termite is so magical, someone must be guarding it. Thor had to be careful not to miss his tracks, lest he be targeted by the second-order wizards in the settlement.

As soon as Thor took two steps, he heard the boy behind him call him.

"Wizard-sama, please wait a moment"

Thor paused and turned back.

"My lord, can I, can I ......?"

"No, you can't." Thor knew what the boy wanted to ask, but he refused without hesitation.

When he had just examined the boy's body, he found that the boy's mental body and body had long been damaged.

Not to mention becoming an apprentice, it is difficult to even live to the age of twenty healthily.

Unless he can have the opportunity to be the protagonist of the wastewood, encounter some natural treasures, I Ching to wash the marrow, ah no, it should be said that it is to reorganize the spiritual body, awaken the magical talent, and amplify the elemental perception, otherwise he will not even have the opportunity to learn a little.

The boy wanted to fight for it again, but as soon as he looked up, he met Thor's calm gaze like the depths of the sea. The plea from his mouth could not be spoken.

"He's smart, but it's a pity." Thor saw that the boy had not continued to plead, and turned to leave.

He walked through the forest and released the algae.

"Be careful not to alarm the people and creatures here."

The small algae jumped to the ground, burrowed headlong into the soil, and disappeared.

After about half an hour, it suddenly came out again, black tentacles encircling Thor's ankles.

Thor followed the strength of the algae and walked forward, silently all the way.

Not long after, he saw several familiar figures in the mountains and forests ahead.

It was a few emaciated figures with black scarves and shackled feet.

The leader also carried a lantern and moved forward silently.

According to the boy, these people are supposed to be the nests used to collect formic acid.

Thor quickly circled in front of the seven men, only to find that they were no longer the seven he had seen before.

"It seems that in this small settlement, most of the ordinary people are alternative materials for making meat nests."
