Whitebeard is right behind the gate.

He and the orange cat have turned this place into their base.

But when Thor walked past the gate, the first thing he saw was not the white-bearded wizard crouching on the ground, but the densely packed, curly roots behind the gate.

The roots were supposed to be underground, but now they were piled up inside the academy like the walls of a labyrinth. It is as if it was deliberately trimmed into this shape by a gardener.

The walls of these roots are taller than Sol.

When Thor flies, he can see through the wall of roots as vast as a dense forest to see the larger stumps inside.

As the orange cat described, a stump that had been cut off by the waist, or the roots, lay flat in the center of the academy.

The original buildings had been annihilated and shattered, or had been squeezed around.

To Thor's surprise, the stump in front of him must have been exposed to the air for months. However, the cross-section of the stump is still fresh and tender, as if it has just been cut off.

Thor narrowed his eyes, and countless runes seemed to swim in the broken section of the stump.

They appear on the bark of trees, sometimes they sink into the trunk.

The magic is evenly transmitted to the surrounding roots, causing the wall of roots in front of you to slowly grow taller and bigger.

"Don't try to fly over it." At this time, Whitebeard, who was squatting on the ground to draw a magic circle, said, "The witchcraft of the orange cat and I are very dependent on the ground, and if you are in the sky, we will not be able to go over and support you." ”

Without looking back, he pointed to the wall of tree roots, "And these roots can actually grow to great heights." And even if you can fly higher, it's useless, after all, our target giant stump is on the ground. ”

Thor fell back to the ground, "Thanks for the reminder." ”

Only then did he observe the circle drawn by Whitebeard on the ground.

This small piece of clean space is almost the last pure land inside the academy. And there is also a witchcraft circle painted in this clearing, which covers almost the entire clearing.

Both Thor and Orange can only stand against the wall.

Whitebeard was still refining the details of the circle, making final preparations for the immediate attack.

Thor observed the sorcery circle on the ground for a moment, "Air...... Cannon? ”

"I like your adjective." Whitebeard finished drawing the last witchcraft rune and looked up, "I used to fire a lot. It's just that now I don't have a chance. ”

He stood up and explained the circle to Thor.

"The air cannon, as you described, gathers the air in the vicinity and shoots it out like a cannon. The longer we dwell with these roots, the more passive we become. This circle can use air cannons to open a path closer to the stump. ”

"When we get to the end of the road opened by the air cannon, we can use the witchcraft to advance, which can save a lot of effort."

Whitebeard didn't seem to be afraid that Thor would steal the master, so he generously displayed the original witchcraft circle in front of Thor in front of him.

"How long do you have left?" The orange cat walked around impatiently, "When the day is completely bright, these roots will be more active." ”

"Now." Whitebeard stood up, "We retreated to the gate, remembering to rush into the gap as soon as we heard the roar." ”

The orange cat on the side was already ready to attack, and at the same time said to the two of them intently: "Remember, once you find someone who is suspected of being Dean Baidong, you will have to wait for everyone to gather before you can start searching your body." Otherwise, you're getting yourself in trouble! ”

Listening to the orange cat's tone, Thor seemed to have decided that once he found Dean Baidong, he would be able to subdue the other party.

But would the strength of the dean of a big force be so unbearable?

As for whether the other party is alienated, Thor is not sure, after all, in the memory of Wizard Jonah, the other party only launched the inverted tree that sacrificed everyone in order to save Wizard Beth who was injured by Char.

Whatever the truth may be, though, it's time for him to get inside the academy now.

Come to think of it, Klee, who stayed outside, had already set up the five auxiliary circles.

"Bang-"

Suddenly there was an explosion, as if someone had struck a big drum in an instant.

The orange cat and Whitebeard rushed out as soon as possible, and Thor waited a few seconds before following the two.

The huge air cannon shattered the tree roots in front of him in an instant, and by the time Thor stepped into it, the roots behind him had already resealed the entrance.

The three of them ran inside after the gap created by the air cannon, and the closer they got to the center of the academy, the denser and thicker the roots inside became.

The power of the air cannon is gradually weakening, and the speed of the expansion of the passage is beginning to weaken.

But they were still a few hundred meters away from the large stump in the very center.

"Ready!" The orange cat meowed and suddenly leaped to the side.

In the next second, several branches with unusually sharp tips shot out from the root walls on both sides, and pierced into the place where the orange cat had just been.

But then, a soil thorn also rose from the ground, pinched the most vulnerable angle of the root, cut it out, and directly countered the sneak attack on several branches of the orange cat.

A large number of branches crumbled and fell to the ground.

Whitebeard on the other side also began to deal with the sneak attack of the branches on both sides.

His hair was like steel needles, and when they were put together, they were sharp knives.

The other party must have also performed some kind of sorcery, and the branches swept by the steel needles will turn yellow and brittle, and finally fall off the root wall of the tree on their own.

Thor who was at the end felt the wind whistling behind him, and it was obvious that there were also human branches attacking him in the wall of tree roots that closed behind him.

Thor didn't look back at all, and a dense black blade suddenly appeared behind him.

The blade fell like rain, firing silently, but like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, it tore all the branches that tried to sneak up on him.

Waiting for the voice behind him to fade away, Thor glanced back.

He found that the branches that had come out of the walls of the roots had been destroyed, but the walls of the roots were only small holes.

And those small holes were quickly disappeared in the rapid replenishment of other tree roots.

"Replenishes quickly, even faster than the cast speed. What is powering these roots? ”

Without anyone else answering, Thor immediately remembered the disappeared people in the inner city.

The three of them galloped forward at a rapid pace, dealing with attacks from up, down, left, right, front and back.

After losing the empty space for air cannon advance, advancing again requires a hard foundation against the wall-like roots.

At this point, Thor and the orange cat switched positions, and he took the lead, opening the gap in the road ahead with a sharper black blade.

Although the strength of the three of them was good, there were too many branches and rhizomes around them, and soon their clothes were torn.

Despite all the difficulties, they gradually approached the stump of the upside-down tree.

"I see the stump, and there are no of these pesky trees on it, Wang...... Whitebeard, you throw me over, Blackblade, you neutralize the mid-air attack for me. ”

This is also the plan specified by the three of them.

Whitebeard didn't hesitate, grabbed the orange cat's front legs, quickly spun around twice in the air, and threw it violently.

"Meow !!!"

The orange cat barked angrily, clearly unhappy with the way Whitebeard threw him.

Thor smiled at the corner of his mouth, and immediately waved his hand to let the Black Blade follow.

According to the plan, as soon as the orange cat reaches the stump, a small air cannon will be placed to create a new path on the side of the two of them.

This way, Thor and Whitebeard can penetrate the thin "wall" and move forward a long distance again.

After a few repetitions, it was enough for them to break free from the roots and climb onto the surface of the large stump.

However, the plan still can't keep up with the changes.

After the orange cat flew out of the field of vision of the two, it suddenly let out a terrible scream.

"Meow woo-"

Whitebeard glared, "Could it be that these roots still climb the stump?" ”

But then I heard the orange cat continue to shout, "There are ghosts!! ”
