Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 125 Face to Face

When everyone climbed out of the cave, it was already quite dark outside.

Nick was absentmindedly scribbling and drawing when he saw everyone returning, so he quickly went to greet them.

……

This kind of adventurous life, going down into the cave during the day and returning before dark, lasted for five days.

Since Thor and Nick were both second-level apprentices, they took turns staying at the camp.

The headless monster that had appeared at the entrance to the Valley of Fallen Hands never reappeared. This allowed Byron and Thor, who had been somewhat tense, to relax a little.

On this day, it was Saul's turn to stay behind again.

Seeing that everyone had been inside the cave for some time, he immediately put down the materials he was holding and began to examine his own eyes.

He hasn't been sleeping these past few days, instead relying on deep meditation to avoid accidentally entering the dreams of those around him.

Although he may learn some secrets as a result, rashly learning other people's secrets without fully understanding the function of the Nightmare Butterfly could bring disaster upon himself.

Thor always kept in mind a saying in the wizarding world: "Danger comes from the unknown, and the unknown is endless."

He faced the soul fluctuation sensor, observing and recording the frequency of the silver light flashing in his eyes.

He discovered that the calluses in his eyes wouldn't shine unless he engaged in semi-immersive meditation.

As he entered a semi-immersive meditation, a silver light would flash in his left eye almost every minute.

But the silver light was very faint; it was almost impossible to detect unless you were looking directly at him.

Just as Thor was planning how to start his experiments after returning home, the sky suddenly darkened.

A shadow slowly enveloped the place where Thor was.

Thor looked up; the sky was clear and cloudless.

He turned around and was shocked to find a giant ship on the other side of the cliff!

The ship looked like an old-fashioned three-masted sailing ship, but it was much, much larger than a normal sailing ship.

Each of the three giant sails is painted with a different kind of monster.

A slender ghostly figure, a thousand-eyed female demon, and a giant flower that looks beautiful but has eerie petals and stamens.

At this moment, the giant sail was slowly being lowered, and the giant ship gradually came to a stop moving.

Beneath the sailboat was a hull covered in enormous white bones.

Below that, the view is obscured by cliffs and cannot be seen clearly.

The shadows stopped spreading, and the huge sailboat finally came to a stop.

"A giant ship that sails on land?" Thor stood up, his expression grave. "...A ship that sails on land?"

He remembered that when he met Bill and Wright, Bill had just killed four people from the Land Boat.

Could it be that their companions have come looking for them?

Thor glanced at the sky; it was still early, and normally it would be long before Byron and the others returned.

Saul stood up and began packing his things.

Fortunately, the group didn't set up tents. As long as Thor hid some small instruments, they shouldn't be discovered.

Regardless of whether the people traveling on land were brought there for those four, Thor, a second-level apprentice, would not be safe even if he collided with them.

He moved several large instruments deep into a nearby cave and laid some plants around the perimeter.

He then shouldered his backpack, preparing to find another place to hide.

However, at that moment, the diary suddenly flew out and unfolded in front of him with incredible speed, with lines of text appearing as if they were at four times the speed.

October 20th, 316th year of the lunar calendar

Since leaving the wizard tower,

You've had a pretty smooth life.

Now you've finally seen it for yourself.

What does it mean to say that the outside world is wonderful?

You will be caught.

You will be interrogated.

But no matter what you said,

They will all gouge out your eyes in the end.

Turn you into a flower~

"I can't get caught!" Thor immediately realized that the newcomers would become his enemies.

He didn't have time to choose a suitable hole, so he jumped into the nearest one and ran as fast as he could.

"Splash..."

Some mud and sand were brought down by Thor, and he quickly stopped and lay down on the ground, afraid that the noise would disturb the people on the ground.

Now that the diary has been published, it means that the enemy could have discovered him very quickly.

Thor has at most a few minutes left.

But it was precisely those few minutes that gave Thor the opportunity to hide.

"Luckily, this place is full of caves, and the inside is winding and twisting, otherwise I really wouldn't have had much of a chance of escaping."

Thor held his breath and looked up at the sky.

Having turned several corners, he could no longer see the cave entrance. He could only hope that his actions had not left any obvious traces on the ground.

At the same time, he was always ready to escape.

"Thump thump thump..."

Thor's heart was pounding.

The leader must be quite capable to be able to sail such a huge sailboat on land.

Thor could only hope that none of them were legitimate wizards.

"Thump thump thump..."

Waiting without warning is the most agonizing.

The tunnel grew increasingly quiet. Thor couldn't help but raise his hand and press it against his chest, his eyes still fixed on the darkness ahead.

Time passed little by little.

There was no sound coming from above.

Perhaps the people outside didn't notice the traces here and have already left.

Thor lifted himself up slightly and climbed down a little further.

After descending a few more meters and turning several corners, Thor finally managed to pull a long, thin test tube from his backpack.

The test tube was left by Wright. As long as Thor buries the worms in the test tube in the ground, Wright will know that something has happened to Thor.

As agreed, Saul buried half of the insect in the soil and left the other half outside.

This means there is danger on the ground, but Thor is still safe.

If the entire worm is buried inside, it means Thor is calling for help.

"Phew..." Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all this.

This way, they wouldn't have to worry about Byron and his men emerging from the crypt unprepared and running straight into the enemy.

He remained lying on the ground for about two hours until his stomach began to rumble, at which point he slowly got up.

It was pitch black all around, except for the diary on his left shoulder, which defied the laws of optics and remained clearly visible in his line of sight.

"Can I go up and check now?"

The diary flew out, giving him a rather unpleasant way to die.

"Alright. Hopefully they'll leave before dark; I don't want to spend the night underground."

"Would it work if I used the shimmering light spell?" Thor continued to ponder.

The diary flew out again.

But this time, the content made Thor's heart stop beating!

October 20th, 316th year of the lunar calendar

You are hiding underground.

Thinking they had escaped the crisis,

You get up and light up the surroundings.

So you see,

A human head is right in front of you.
