Thor followed the blindfolded men into the depths of the forest.

Around the corner, a wizard apprentice appeared in front of him.

He stepped forward to check the condition of the seven men, and then led them into a cave.

Inside the cave, there were two wizards, who saw people and commanded them to stand in small pits half a meter high.

Thor stood just outside the cave, his figure hidden behind the rocks.

His mental power was much higher than that of the people inside, and they couldn't detect Thor's existence at all.

However, the guard circle at the entrance of the cave also made it impossible for Thor to enter directly for the time being.

Thor looked to see that the legs of the seven blindfolded men inside had been buried in the earth, and the other wizards had stayed away from them.

After a few minutes, one of the blindfolded men had a pained look on his face, and gradually the others twisted in pain.

But after only a few dozen seconds, the pain on the faces of the seven people disappeared again, and their expressions became numb again.

Thor's gaze followed their faces, gradually shifting to their legs covered in soil.

"Ants in the soil...... They want these ants to enter their bodies and bite them, leaving formic acid, and then extract the substances they need from ordinary people's bodies to make reading candles. ”

"They extract formic acid here, and it's not very hidden. In other words, the extraction step is not important, what really matters is how they extract the non-toxic formic acid from the body of ordinary people and make it into a candle that can activate the brain domain. ”

The secret of the second extraction must be in the hands of the Great Witch.

Thor wasn't ready to risk snatching either.

He's not at the point where he needs drugs to activate his brain to learn.

The ones who really need the Reading Candle are often those wizards and apprentices who have been stuck at a certain level, have not been promoted for a long time, and have begun to suffer from the backlash of knowledge.

Thinking about the ordinary court he went to today, most of the wizards in it were like this.

At this time, the wizard inside talked softly.

"Why are there so few ants today?"

"Maybe they've been less hungry lately."

"Come on. Isn't it just to let us build seven meat nests at a time just to prevent the ants from moving too much food at once? ”

The voice of the conversation quickly lowered again.

Thor didn't get any more information, and simply left.

"Did the old witch really recognize the hunchback termites as quicksand termites? Although her brain is not very useful, her eyesight should be fine. Saul was a little helpless.

If there are no quicksand termites here, he will not say anything about running in vain, and he will temporarily lose other clues of quicksand termites.

If he really can't find quicksand termites, he can only find some alternatives.

It's just that these alternatives are either dangerous or rarer and hard to come by.

Thor walked into the ancient forest, thinking about whether to continue the search in the neighborhood or go back.

Suddenly, his coat pocket shook.

Thor put his hand in his pocket, frowning.

He touched the candle that Kismet had put in.

I also touched a piece of paper!

Saul confirmed that he had absolutely no paper in his pocket.

He pulled out his hand, fingertips pinching the piece of paper.

A sentence was written on the scrap of paper.

"The golden pages are with me. Four rows of four houses. ”

"This guy!" Thor took a deep breath, Kismet definitely did it on purpose.

The importance of a golden page is self-evident, and even if Kismet wants to play any tricks, Thor will take it.

He walked briskly out, and soon reached the edge of the woods.

But here he met the boy again.

The other party was hiding behind a tree, hesitantly looking in the direction of the settlement.

"If you go back, you and your father will be dead."

The boy was startled by Thor's voice.

When I looked back and saw that it was him, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"My lord, I don't want to go back. I just can't rest assured of my father and brother...... With this departure, I may never see them again. And, moreover, I entered the settlement with my father when I was very young, and never left, not knowing where to go. ”

Thor raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "Go that way, walk for two days and you'll come across another settlement." Of course, it could just be another cage. ”

Thor didn't know how these ordinary people got into the Borderlands.

Maybe it's just that the wizards here need some ordinary people to take on the most basic labor.

"My lord, may I know your name?" The boy's eyes were full of emotion.

But Thor ignored him.

Crossing the boy and out of the forest, Thor re-entered the colony before it got dark.

The old man in the pot recognized Thor.

After all, there aren't many wizards who can make Kismet an introducer.

He let Thor in directly.

Thor didn't ask the old man for directions, but found a random person in the settlement.

As soon as they saw Thor's clothes, they enthusiastically showed him the way, and even wanted to see him there himself, but Thor refused.

Soon he came to room four in the fourth row.

The door here opens as soon as it is pushed, and it looks like a careless owner has just left.

The room was small, and Thor came in and saw a note nailed to the opposite wall.

There are only four words written on it:

Right away.

Thor's expression changed, and he immediately turned around to leave.

But as soon as he stepped out of the room with one foot, he heard a scream coming from the street.

Then, the twilight overhead suddenly changed color.

Thor stepped out into the street and looked up to see a large green arched barrier appear above the walls of the settlement.

There are wizards who react quickly and rush directly into the sky using flying magic.

But before he could get closer, a cloud of green smoke erupted from the barrier. Squirted straight into the wizard's face.

The latter soon flew back to the ground screaming.

Before everyone could react, another loud bang came.

The sound was so loud that it could be heard even in this green shield.

Thor flew directly to the roof, and only then did he see that the ordinary courtyard he had just been to collapsed!

"What's going on over there?"

This is a question for almost everyone.

Several wizards immediately flew low, dodging the green barrier overhead, and hurried towards the Mortal Court.

But Thor's first instinct was to immediately run towards the door.

He already knew what it meant to "right away".

Kismet actually wanted to make a golden page right here!

But the origin of the golden pages is very complicated, can a small settlement give birth to a golden page?

While thinking, Thor ran.

Although the enemy has not yet appeared, Thor believes in Kismet's ability to cause trouble.

At this moment, there was a sudden "buzzing" sound behind him.

The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the settlement.

Thor turned around and saw a huge white ant in mid-air. Behind it were two pairs of wings, flapping rapidly, leaving only an afterimage.

The ants are at least five meters long, and their huge mouthparts can make people feel the cold light above them even if they are far away, and it seems that they will break their waists in the next second.

If you look closely, there is still a person sitting on top of the ants!

A dark-skinned man was sitting at the joint behind the termite's head, holding something in his hand.

Thor squinted his eyes, gradually seeing details in the distance.

What the man was holding in his hand turned out to be the head of Dolly, the big-bellied woman Thor had seen before!
