Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 599 Dangerous Cave

In the labyrinthine cave of the wind demons, Thor and the old witch were both trying their best to conceal their mental and magical powers.

This means that they often only notice the enemy when they are right in front of them.

Startled by a pair of arms that suddenly emerged from the soil, the old witch reacted quickly, immediately conjuring a small shield of air in front of her.

Then, the arms and body completely emerged from the wall.

"A magic statue?" Thor was taken aback.

This thing is somewhat high-tech; it's a magically synthesized puppet with a certain level of intelligence. However, such things are rare on the continent of Stata. Thor only learned about it after reading his mentor Gorsa's collection of books. Magical statues are quite common on the continent of Iskeper, especially in Sky City.

Moreover, due to the enigmatic nature of its internal design and the strict control over the export of the magic statues, it is extremely difficult for wizards from other factions to acquire such magic statues.

The magical stone statue before them had the head of a wolf and the body of a human. When its eyes looked at Thor and the old witch, they shone with a brilliance that ordinary puppets never possessed.

Due to its excellent concealment, neither of them noticed the wolf-headed stone statue's presence before it suddenly attacked the old witch.

While the wolf-headed statue was attacking the old witch, Thor immediately conjured a black blade and slashed it across the wolf-headed statue's neck.

However, while the black blade could easily cut off a human head, it was incredibly difficult to cut through a stone statue.

Thor managed to slide in only half a palm's width before the black blade could go no further, and then the magic dissipated and disappeared.

He conjured an even larger black blade and shot it at the statue. However, this time the black blade only penetrated less than a centimeter into the statue's body before getting stuck in place.

"The magic statue can adjust its properties based on the attack. If you cannot break its core in one hit, the effect of the second attack will be greatly reduced."

The old witch grinned, looking troubled. "My wind blade might not be as sharp as your black blade. This is going to be difficult."

The old witch wasn't afraid of the magic statue, but if she stayed to deal with it, no one could resist the wind demon inside.

Thor looked at the magic statue that had turned to fight back after his attacks, and a sense of urges stirred within him.

"I really want to take this stone statue home!"

However, now is not the time to be greedy. The moment the magic statue lunged at Thor, a transparent humanoid figure suddenly emerged from his body, quickly covered in a layer of silver in the air, and collided violently with the magic statue.

"Bang!"

The loud noise carried far through the passage. Thor thought to himself, "The wind demon must have discovered us now. But it's alright, we need the old witch to lure them away anyway."

With that in mind, Thor no longer cared that Herman, dressed in silver, would make a lot of noise while fighting the magic statue.

Herman was only good at blunt force, and he was somewhat helpless against the magic statue that could switch between high strength and high toughness.

However, the magic statue, despite its high speed, was not as agile in turning and could not do anything to Hermann either.

It simply couldn't catch the silver shadows darting about in the sky and on the ground.

"Let's go, we'll leave this place to Herman."

Thor glanced at the magic statue again and said to the old witch.

The old witch quickly found an opening and ran to Thor's side, and the two continued deeper into the area.

However, this time they hadn't gone far when a rustling sound came from behind them.

The old witch who was in charge of luring away the wind demon no longer concealed her spiritual power.

She listened intently for a moment, then confirmed, "They are poisonous spiders, many of them, each about the size of a palm, but their venom is extremely potent. Even a first-tier wizard would die if injected with too much of their venom."

Thor's heart skipped a beat. "It's normal to be able to sense the shape and size of an enemy, but to even know about poison..."

The old witch noticed Thor's probing gaze, rolled her eyes, and said, "What are you looking at? I've been bitten before! But my perfect body isn't afraid of these spiders."

As the two were talking, the first spider appeared in front of them.

Just as the old witch had said, the spider was only the size of a palm, its entire body crystal clear and white, like something carved from ice and jade.

However, the little spider looks cute. As soon as it sees an enemy, it pops out a pair of scarlet eyes, looking at Thor and the old witch as if it has seen two big pieces of meat.

Then, a large swarm of shimmering white spiders emerged from the shadows, densely packed and overwhelming, numbering at least two or three hundred.

Furthermore, the burrow was less than three meters wide, leaving very little room to move. Seeing so many tiny spiders in such a confined environment, no matter how cute they might be, was truly unsettling!

"Let's fly up and rush over there," Thor suggested.

Even if the spiders in the air might fall down when they fly over, as long as they are covered in magical armor, they can ensure that they will not be bitten for a short period of time.

"No, we have to deal with them here. Otherwise, if they follow us inside and encounter the wind demons, we'll have to be careful of these spiders and deal with the wind demons at the same time..."

The old witch was worried about being attacked from both sides, and it was clear that she wasn't entirely unafraid of the spider's venom.

Even if a perfect body can heal itself, an accumulation of toxins could still affect her combat abilities.

Thor grabbed the old witch's arm and laughed, "Then let's fly over there and have others hold off the spiders."

The old witch realized that Thor was referring to the consciousness entities within him and the Soul-Eating Swamp.

Thor mobilized his entire force for this trip. If someone were to launch a surprise attack on his lair at this time, the Wizard Tower would have no choice but to close its doors and defend itself, hoping it wouldn't be breached before Thor's return.

The old witch grabbed Thor's arm in return, and the two flew up together. Then, the old witch's wind shield covered them.

As they flew through the passage filled with shimmering white spiders, despite their high speed, spiders still fell on them like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Because of the strong protective effect of the Wind Release technique, the spiders were temporarily unable to touch the two people's bodies.

However, their toxicity was indeed very strong, and several red spots soon appeared on the wind shield.

These little guys are so toxic they can even corrode magic!

Fortunately, they quickly passed through the densest spider burrows and landed in an open area.

Then the old witch created several small whirlwinds around her, which swept away the little spiders on the wind shield.

As soon as these little spiders landed on the rock, their eight legs immediately stuck firmly to it, and their bodies lay flat on the ground, so they would no longer be blown away by the wind.

Then, the wind escape technique was dispelled, and a black tentacle resembling a vine fell to the ground from behind Thor's neck.

The earth and the surrounding and overhead stone walls immediately turned black and softened, transforming from hard rock into damp, soft soil in just a few breaths.

Numerous black tentacles emerged from the swamp-like rock walls, splitting open like shark mouths to bite the small spiders that were rushing towards them.

However, in terms of sheer numbers, the algae are still no match for these small spiders. Some spiders, after avoiding the tentacles' bites, will climb onto them and bite the tentacles' bodies.

With its sharp mouthparts and corrosive toxins, it quickly bit off the tip of the tentacle.

Seeing this, Thor had no choice but to release his consciousness again, An.

"An, you and Xiaozao stand here together. It will protect you from being bitten by spiders, while you watch out for any spiders that fall on it."

"Yes, Master." An replied and immediately stepped forward to join the battle.

At that moment, a powerful mental pressure came from the depths of the cave, and Thor and the old witch almost staggered at the same time, nearly falling to the ground.

That was the mental pressure of a third-tier wizard.

The old witch's expression changed.

"Didn't you say the Wind Demon was finished?"

Thor glanced at the diary immediately, then smiled slightly, "All you see is an aura of power, but no one is there. Isn't that unacceptable?"
