Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 368 Cold

"Is this an illusion?" Following Thor's gaze, Ann also saw the tear in her clothes and gasped in shock.

Because apart from the strange sound, she hadn't seen anyone, and only guessed that she had been attacked.

But when she turned around, she saw nothing and assumed that Thor and the others were hallucinating again.

But now, looking at the hem of her dress behind her, An felt a little confused.

"Calm down, there's nothing to worry about. You've just been attacked." Sensing that Ann was not in a good state, Thor placed one hand on her shoulder and the other on her forehead.

He did not use witchcraft; he simply used this highly offensive action to draw Ann's attention back.

Anxin, who was being pointed at, felt a jolt of fear as she looked at her master. However, this also helped her regain her composure and calm her somewhat out-of-control emotions.

"Don't be surprised by what you see; the strange will defeat itself. Just treat it as if you've encountered a powerful enemy, and don't try to analyze its attack patterns."

"Yes," Agu replied.

He remained calm, clearly a well-informed person.

Then Saul crouched down and stroked Anne's clothes with his hand, carefully examining the scars on them.

"The top part was broken very cleanly, so it must have been a very sharp arrow."

He walked to the spot where An had just been standing, but found nothing hard under his feet.

Actually, judging from the state of the ground and vegetation, one could tell that nothing had been left here, but Thor still came over to try.

"Don't split up yet. Let's form a triangular formation, each of us guarding a section of the area. We'll circle around here and then head back."

Saul came mainly to confirm Kongsa's situation with the others, and incidentally to look for the missing Leon.

"If the figure can disappear, the arrow can disappear, then it's not surprising that the corpse can disappear."

After circling the area, Thor and his companions encountered no further attacks. He now prepared to return and, with as much composure as possible, find out what Kongsa had gone through here.

"Master, look there!" Ann suddenly pointed into the distance.

Thor looked over and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Behind a tree, a black robe was revealed, its style similar to that of a wizard's tower apprentice's uniform.

The three people moved over cautiously, but after they passed, they found that the black robe was gone.

Looking up again, the robe reappeared behind a tree trunk a little further away.

"You two wait here for me, and keep watch."

After saying that, Thor rushed out on his own before the two could react.

He had just gotten close when his robes vanished again, reappearing some distance away from Ann and Agu. Thor didn't hesitate and continued his pursuit.

But this time he still couldn't catch the other person, and the black robe appeared again in the distance.

Thor looked around, trying to recall where the black-robed figure had appeared.

"Is it like cheese laid out on the ground, luring me into a trap?"

However, with this thought in mind, Thor only paused for a dozen seconds before rushing over again.

The black robe disappeared a second before Thor arrived, and then, as Thor expected, reappeared behind a large tree, far from the grass and the consciousness, in the place Thor was currently facing.

Thor took another step, but before he could run two meters, a black tentacle suddenly appeared on the ground beneath the big tree.

A shark-tooth-like mouth split open at the tip of the tentacle and lunged fiercely at the black-robed man!

"ah--"

A short, painful scream abruptly stopped.

Thor snorted and sped up to reach Xiao Zao's side.

After calculating the locations where the black-robed figure would appear several times, he immediately ordered Xiaozao to ambush under several large trees ahead, waiting for the black-robed figure to appear so that she could immediately break through the ground and attack.

Thor could see that Little Algae had something in her mouth that prevented her from closing it.

"As expected, these elusive creatures cannot be explained by illusions, nor are they simply invisible."

However, the next second, Thor, who was feeling a little smug, was shocked to find that the tips of the algae's tentacles suddenly began to twist and deform.

"Disconnect!" Thor shouted immediately.

The algae reacted quickly, immediately breaking off the part that appeared above the ground, while the rest burrowed back into the deeper soil.

Immediately afterwards, the remaining black tentacle seemed to be pulled into a spinning vortex, collapsing towards the center along with the surrounding scenery and air.

With a "thud," something fell to the ground.

"Cryptocrystalline?" Thor rushed over and searched through the grass on the ground.

Cryptocrystalline materials are easy to disappear once they are out of sight or come into physical contact.

But before Thor could transform his arm into a translucent spiritual tentacle, he discovered a rather conspicuous cryptocrystalline substance on the grass.

Because the one that fell on the grass wasn't completely transparent.

It's like a piece of white clay mixed with a clump of black; after a lot of pulling and squeezing, fine, twisted black lines appear in the white.

This is a cryptocrystalline substance formed by the convergence of small algae?

"Little Algae!" Thor summoned Little Algae again, then handed it the cryptocrystalline substance in his hand. "Can you touch it?"

Xiao Zao approached, then nodded, her chin touching the crystalline substance mixed with black lines in Thor's palm, making a "clanging" sound.

Thor raised his hand and looked at the middle of his arm. Although he couldn't see it at the moment, he could feel something being wrapped by his muscles.

He didn't follow Monroe's example and place the intangible crystal in his vital areas. Even if he briefly forgot about the intangible crystal's existence, Penny would occasionally linger on his arm to help him remember.

Over time, he subconsciously memorized what was in his arm.

This time, however, Thor did not put the cryptocrystalline substance mixed with impurities from the small algae into his body. Instead, he held it up in front of the small algae.

"Little algae, why don't you try storing it?"

Little Algae stretched her head over.

As a parasite on Thor, Little Algae had naturally seen cryptocrystalline matter before. It tilted its head curiously and stuck out its black tongue to lick it.

I don't know what it felt or tasted like, but my little tongue quickly retracted.

Before Thor could even ask a question, Little Algae opened its mouth wide and swallowed the entire cryptocrystalline substance whole.

It made a chewing sound, followed by a "gurgling" sound.

Thor's heart pounded; he had a feeling this wasn't the right way to store it.

"If you store it like this, will it still come out?" Thor asked hurriedly.

The little algae swayed and turned its tentacles around, without answering, before swaying and retracting them back into the nape of Thor's neck.

"Could it have eaten the cryptocrystalline material? In a way that it could digest?"

Thor was somewhat worried, but judging from Xiao Zao's expression, she wouldn't come out to answer him for the time being.

Xiaozao is usually quite smart, so how come she completely misunderstood him this time?

Or was it instinct that prompted it to swallow the cryptocrystalline substance?

"Penny seems to be consuming the cryptocrystalline substance. If Xiaozao really did consume it, should we call Penny back?"

Thor hesitated as he walked toward Anne.

"Owner!"

Hearing two people calling him from afar, Thor thought something had happened and quickened his pace.

But when he was still more than ten meters away from the two consciousness entities, the two consciousness entities in front of him, dressed in black robes and with black cloths covering their eyes, suddenly turned into pale-faced figures standing with their hands hanging down.

Thor slammed on the brakes, then felt something hit his back.

Two pale hands reached out from both sides of his neck, encircling him, as if to embrace him.

Xiao Zao was too dizzy to get out, so Thor didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately activated his spiritual body and circulated his magic power, and a transparent spiritual armor protection immediately appeared around his body.

However, the next second, Thor felt a chill run down his spine.

The pale hands behind him were not pushed out by the spirit armor spell, but were instead enveloped inside along with him!

Two arms were already on Thor's shoulders, and the chill spread throughout his body from the point of contact.

Thor gritted his teeth, pulled his hands back, pressed down on his right arm, bent forward sharply, and used the momentum of the forward lean to forcefully swing himself!

"Give back the stolen treasure... *smack*!"

A pale figure was thrown to the ground by Thor with an over-the-shoulder throw!

Thor straightened up, his face not looking good. His back, shoulders, and hands were stiff from the cold.

But the next moment, a second pair, a third pair, a fourth pair...

A dozen pale arms reached out from behind him, embracing his head, his neck, his shoulders, his arms...

It was accompanied by mournful weeping.

"Give me back my treasure!"

"Give me back my treasure!"

"Give me back my treasure!"
