Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 598 Infiltration

The wind demon dismissed the others, telling them not to come in unless it was urgent.

However, before she could carry out her orders, she was interrupted by a subordinate who suddenly barged in.

"Lord Wind Demon, there's a headless knight outside! He killed Brent right away!"

Brent was a first-tier wizard patrolling below the cliff.

His strength is among the best in the first tier.

"The Headless Horseman?" The Wind Demon frowned at first, then remembered someone, "Brando?"

The others had never seen Brando and could not give the Wind Demon a definite answer.

The Wind Demon looked down at what it had just acquired, somewhat surprised and puzzled as to why Brando had suddenly appeared and killed someone without saying a word.

Did he discover something?

In any case, she won't go out to see Brando now.

The wind demon turned to the maid and asked, "How many second-tier wizards are left here?"

The maid, who usually helped the Wind Demon with chores, knew this very well. "There were four of us before, but after you left with three second-tier wizards, only Lord Baron returned. However, we don't know where Lord Baron went after that. Now, there's only one second-tier wizard left on the entire cliff, Lord Johnny."

"Why is there so little?" Feng Yao frowned.

Although second-tier wizards are not common in the No Man's Land, there were once nine second-tier wizards in the Wind Demon realm at the same time. That was also when the Wind Demon's power was at its strongest.

However, in the later battles against the Firefly Lord, the second-tier wizards gradually suffered casualties, and eventually only six remained.

Two of the six people went out.

In addition, during the attack on the Spirit Cleansing Wizard Tower a few days ago, two people were unexpectedly lost, and Baron's whereabouts are unknown.

This has resulted in the Wind Demon having only one second-tier wizard here!

Only then did Feng Yao realize that her forces had dwindled to such a small extent.

But the more urgent the situation, the stronger the wind demon's determination to build the demon-storing pool as soon as possible!

It doesn't matter if she doesn't have many second-tier wizards under her command for the time being. As long as she is strong enough, she can become a powerful force all by herself!

With that in mind, the Wind Demon made a decision: "Have Johnny take more men, and whatever means he uses, kill Brando and bring his body back."

The maid said worriedly, "Lord Johnny's combat abilities are not outstanding among second-tier wizards..."

She actually hoped that Lord Wind Demon would take action himself, and that no matter what kind of knight he was, they would all become Lord Wind Demon's collection.

Looking at the maid's hopeful eyes, Feng Yao knew what she was thinking.

But how could she possibly go out at this time?

"Does this mean I have to personally deal with every enemy that appears at the cliff? What's the point of keeping you all around?"

After finishing speaking, Feng Yao didn't give the others a chance to persuade her and simply turned and left.

The remaining few looked at each other, realizing the urgent situation outside, and had no choice but to go find Johnny, the only second-tier wizard still on the cliff.

Leaving aside how this group helplessly found Johnny, let's just talk about Wind Demon. At this moment, she had already come out of her room and hurriedly headed deeper into the cave.

As she walked through the long corridor and arrived at a place where there was no one else, she suddenly stopped and casually struck a mark imbued with her personal mental energy on the wall beside her.

A miraculous scene unfolded: where there had been a wall, another passage appeared.

After the wind demon entered the passage, the entrance to the passage turned into a gray, dusty wall.

Shortly after the Wind Demon entered, a small, unnoticed silver butterfly fluttered to the vicinity of the passage.

"Strange, why does it feel like the wind demon's energy has disappeared?" Penny asked, puzzled.

She dared not get too close, fearing that the wind demon would discover her, so she kept a distance of more than thirty meters from it.

But in such winding and rugged mountain caves, there might be a bend every ten meters. If Penny stayed far away to avoid being seen by the wind demon, she would be able to see it.

However, she is very good at tracking the unique magical and mental fluctuations of wizards, so she is not worried about losing track of them.

She was too happy too soon. The wind demon suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the worst part was that she didn't even know where the wind demon had vanished.

Looking at the increasingly deep and dark valley tunnel, Penny felt very melancholy.

Having no other choice, she had to ask Saul for help.

Upon hearing Penny's news, Thor immediately told the old witch, "Brando indeed didn't summon the wind spirit. She's worried that she can't defeat Brando, or that winning too difficultly will reveal a weakness."

The old witch sneered, "Looks like she's getting desperate now."

"The more tense the situation, the more desperate she will be to regain her strength. So her sudden disappearance now is definitely..."

"She's gone to the Demon-Gathering Pool!" The old witch jumped for joy. "Let's go, let's hurry! If we're too late, she'll be back to level three!"

Thor immediately followed the old witch.

Although he wasn't in a hurry.

His magic storage pool was built for advancing to the second tier. Even if the Wind Demon made improvements after getting it, it wouldn't be possible for her to immediately regain her strength.

It requires at least three days and three nights of soaking, and all the more precious witchcraft materials must be prepared.

While Brando distracted the others, the two made their way inside the cliff.

Following Penny's instructions, Thor dodged all the warning spell arrays and patrolling apprentices, and after much effort, finally arrived safely at the place where the wind demon's spiritual energy fluctuations had disappeared.

Looking at the long, dark passage ahead, Thor whispered to the old witch, "It should be a secret passage. Wait a moment, I'll look for it."

Thor squinted and, with the aid of meditation, began to observe the flaws in the passage.

If that method doesn't work, he can also use the Eye of Exile to observe the area where the power of this place converges.

However, before Thor could even begin his performance, the old witch was already standing in front of a wall.

"The entrance is here."

Thor was taken aback. "How did you know?"

The old witch smiled smugly; finally, she had a chance to shine.

"I'm someone who once stole things from the Wind Demon! Don't underestimate me!"

Seeing Thor's gaze immediately turn expectant, the old witch turned around triumphantly, thought for a moment, cast a mark, and embedded it into the wall.

then……

Nothing happens.

A wall is still a wall.

The old witch was embarrassed. "Uh, maybe she changed the password. But this is definitely the passage to the Wind Demon's Chamber!"

Seeing the old witch's certainty, Thor prepared to take out the Eye of Exile for a closer look.

Suddenly, the old witch raised her hand and released another mark.

This time, the wall disappeared, revealing the passage behind it.

The old witch stepped into the passage almost the instant it appeared.

Thor followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on the old witch.

His doubts grew. "The old witch stole the wind demon's things, so she might know the way to the secret chamber. But the other party changed the markings, how could she still figure it out?"

The newly appeared passage was very narrow. Just as Thor had taken four or five steps inside, two arms suddenly stretched out from the soil, almost knocking down the somewhat absent-minded old witch.
