Thomas wasn't mistaken.

While the Teaching Assistants and the Sin Hunter were trapped in a certain 'sandbox' world, in the Silent Forest, four black figures were 'holding their heads and running away', dodging spell strikes that were shot from time to time in mid-air.

The reason why I put a single quotation mark on 'holding the head of the rat' is because it is not a simple adjective, but a magic. Just like the 'Peach', 'Running with the Head' is an ancient magic used in strategic retreats.

It's just that this magic has very big limitations when used - there are and only creatures with rat blood can use it completely.

And right now, among the four black shadows, there happens to be such an existence.

"To the left, fifteen degrees to the left, a quarter of a frequency, ninety-one steps forward...... Attention, there is a node in front of the guardian array, pay attention to avoid!"

"Turn! Turn! Deviate to the right three degrees! That little girl's skin dropped a string of thunder spells again! and step together, drag the left two and the right one, around a small arc, don't be struck by the lightning!"

"Change the frequency! Change the frequency! Three-quarters of the frequency, rush forward one hundred and twenty-five steps, and then return to the original frequency!"

"Niang Xipi, this shell outside the school is really annoying!"

The round fat rat that jumped at the head of the four black shadows muttered and cursed as he spoke rapidly and commanded the team to evade the 'investigation and killing' of the First University Guardian Formation.

In a moment, they finally plunged into a small clearing and stopped.

"Take a break!" the fat rat shouted, stopping his pace: "This is a 'safe zone' I set up before, although the area is not large, and the defense ability is not strong, but it can be dragged on for a while...... Let's take a breather. ”

As he spoke, the fat rat rolled on the spot in the snow wrapped in the thick black haze on his body. By the time it stood up again, its size had suddenly increased several times, and its standard mouse appearance had faded a lot, becoming more like a wizard with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

Of course, the 'wizard' still had a few wisps of rat whiskers growing from the corners of his mouth, and he still had a long rat tail behind him.

"Are these Buddha's belly bamboos?" a tall, thin figure turned his back to the 'Rat Wizard', bent over, looked at the boundary of this 'safe domain', and asked with interest, "If I'm not mistaken, this kind of bamboo is only suitable for growing in warm and moist places...... And they're not hardy. ”

"Good eye!" The Rat Wizard was obviously glad that someone had noticed this detail, and immediately explained with relish: "This is the latest variety researched by the clan, and it is derived from the Buddha belly bamboo, which is a cold-tolerant and cold-tolerant new bamboo species...... The bamboo naturally grows a rune that conceals the breath and isolates fire and thunder, and it is perfect to use it as a 'fence'!"

"Huh...... Sounds really good. The tall and thin wizard nodded approvingly, stood up, turned his head to look at the rat wizard, and proposed, "Then, twenty jade coins, I can let these bamboos enter the commodity trading market...... If you're willing to sign a guaranteed sales contract, the Wanderer Bar can even waive your handling fee!"

The tall, thin wizard who spoke was none other than the owner of the wandering bar, the famous wandering wizard in Beta.

Upon hearing the Wandering Wizard's offer, the Rat Wizard was furious.

"Hell," it shouted, "You're a robbery! If I sell these bamboos to First University, I'll be able to get a lot of money every year for the royalties alone!" and you want me to pay for it...... It's ridiculous!"

"The premise is that First University is willing to accept your bamboo. The wandering wizard spread his hands, his usual smirk on his face, and then said in a familiar oily tone: "As far as I know, First University is very strict with the underground rat clan, and treats you even harsher than those stinky fishmen in Linzhong Lake...... If it weren't for the fact that the school was staffed this year, if you wanted to appear on campus openly, I am afraid it would be a hundred years. ”

"Not to mention, we're still being attacked by the First University's Guardian Circle. If you really get caught by that magic circle, let alone these bamboos, even the small kingdom you established under the First University will probably collapse immediately. ”

This is not alarmism.

The Rat Wizard—or rat Immortal—became depressed again when he heard the wandering wizard's analysis.

Soon, however, it looked up again and looked angrily at its other companion.

"Milton! You haven't explained what the hell is going on!" The long tail behind it flicked hard, smashing a deep trench in the snow, and then the figure flashed, and appeared in front of the Duke of Milton: "Why didn't even a great wizard come to the Council under the moon! Why did Su Shijun get the blessing of the First University Guardian Formation! Do you plan to bet on both ends?"

"Su Shijun is Su Shijun, Karen is Karen, don't mix them up. The Council under the Moon was not monolithic in the first place. The Duke of Milton snorted gloomily, and then added in a mocking tone, "As for the two-headed bet...... Which chair in the council is not a bet on two ends, or even three or four heads? Let's just say that the rat clan you created, if I remember correctly, is also fighting for the official establishment of the first university, and at the same time submitting the status of the councillors to the Yuexia Council every day. Not to mention today's action. ”

It's the truth, but it's not meant to be said in public.

Hearing its words, the Rat Immortal's eyes immediately became gloomy, and even its fat face puffed up a little.

"As for why the Moonlight Council asked me to come...... Perhaps the council thinks that it is enough for me to participate in today's action. Although the Duke of Milton is not a great wizard, he also has a unique ability that is not inferior to many great wizards, which makes him full of confidence when he says this: "As long as the goal is achieved, what does it matter if the great wizard is not a great wizard or not?"

"The stakes are high. The wandering wizard interrupted the Duke of Milton and said in a rare tough tone, "Today's operation is not an ordinary operation...... This action is related to whether our Dark Council can truly rise in the future, and whether it can surpass the Council under the moon and truly sit on an equal footing with the First University...... There is no room for error. ”

Duke Milton squinted, noncommittal to the wandering wizard's words.

The wandering wizard also seemed to notice that his tone was a little heavy, a little rude to a member of the Moonless Council, or the patriarch of a vampire clan.

But he had no idea of remediation.
