Chapter 32 The Road to Survival

"If you have something to do tomorrow, please take a day off.

4k today."

They walked in the passage built by spells, and a pure blue light surrounded them. In front is an expanding whirlpool, and left and right are magic runes that swim around with magic flow like duckweed. The deep tunnel continues to extend, as if there is no end.

The narrow passage could not walk side by side, and they lined up in a column. Lu Yue danced at the front of the team, Rosie and Eliza walked in the middle, Leo and Brand followed, and Andrewson happened to be between Dikka and them. Such formation made them worry about each other, but Leo also monitored Andrewson's every move. Leo originally thought that he would stay where he was to show his self-esteem. Now it seems that he really thinks too highly of the other party. There is no one who is not greedy and afraid of death, not to mention greedy people.

"Where will it be ahead?" Alyssa couldn't help asking.

The only mage among them shook his head in frustration, indicating that she had no clue. I can't understand these runes. They belong to the mage's secret texts of another period, and only they know what they mean.

Leo can't recognize them either. Secret words are like a rainbow in the sky, which can be seen but not touched. They can only follow the path opened up by their predecessors. As for what the end is, they don't know. Is it the magma at the bottom of the volcano or the cliff as high as 10,000 feet? But this is their only way to survive, and there is no choice.

There is no wind in the channel, only a faint buzz when the magic array is operating. But Leo couldn't say whether this was his hallucination. Narrowness and depression made the team quickly silent, but uneasiness spread like a virus. And the twinkling blue light seems to have magic, making them dizzy and blurred.

Indizzy, Li Ou seemed to hear an exclamation. When he raised his head, he found that the people walking in front of the line were gone, and Andrewson in front of him was suddenly rolled up and struggled to plunge into the end of the whirlpool. His dull brain felt out of control before making a judgment, floating as if he had lost weight, and Andrewson was rudely thrown in.

He fell to the ground and hit his head hard. The pain woke his brain. He touched his head, struggled to get up, and found himself in another place. At the foot is a straight stone road, and there are hard stone walls on both sides. There is also a stone wall behind him, but Brand is falling out of it.

Liola stopped him. But he shook off Leo's hand and looked around, "Where is this?" He asked.

"Who knows." Li Ou shrugged his shoulders, "Anyway, it won't be worse than being trapped in the temple."

This is a tower, and they climb up the spiral stairs. The walls on both sides are impenetrable, and only a few magic lights that seem to never go out bloom on the wall, lengthens their shadows, like ghosts.

"This should be the tower of the mage." Rosie said, "I can almost feel the essence of magic around me."

Liou also sensed it. That is the most original magic, which is different from the elemental system of today's mages. They are like a breeze, circling around them and laughing briskly and happily. It is completely different from their tired and dusty gray faces. And just after a closed door, the source of magic buzzed, like a crowded and noisy hive.

"Don't touch it first." Luo Xi stopped Lu Yuewu, "It's not too much to be careful in the mage's territory." She used spells as she spoke. She sprinkled a small pinch of silver-white powder on the oak door, and then chanted a spell. It was not until the silver powder burst into a short but dazzling white light and burned out, and then she stopped. No problem." She said, "There is no trap. Safe."

The room at the top of the tower is extremely open, like the alien space opened by the mage. A moderately shining light sphere hangs above the head, like a small sun. Leo felt that they could even transplant flowers and plants here and turn it into a fragrant garden. But there was no gurgling water or moist black soil in the room. There are only cold white slates, several empty book shelves distributed in fan shape next to the wall, and... the items they fantasized about at the beginning of their journey--

A golden scroll - the scroll of Orisdu alchemy. Leo recognized it, and his family had one of them.

It suspended in the air without support, as if living life was fluctuating slightly like breathing. Below it is a flickering array, and the runes shine brightly on every greedy face. Although I don't know what is recorded in the scroll, there is no doubt that it is a treasure that everyone dreams of. However, they are suspicious of each other, afraid of each other, and are wary of their opponents' every move. No one wants to take a step forward first.

Brand exchanged glances with his companions. Decca flew out, Lu Yuewu then stretched out his hand, and Andrewson fell at the end of the three. Leo did not move. His side is the strongest, and if there is no accident, it will fall into their hands. We should control and eliminate all accidents, Li Ou thought. He devoted most of his energy to staring at Brand beside him.

Dika's thin body was as agile and slippery as a fish, but he still grabbed the air - Lu Yuewu's sword was in front of him, and he had to avoid it. And Andrewson could not grab Lu Yuewu's arm. Wild boars can't beat a lone wolf. This is a well-known rule. However, the greedy wild boar in front of him not only had fangs, but also cunningly replaced his fur with spikes. Andrewson ran out of a handful of powder, and the small particles collided with each other, and a strong light burst out in an instant.

is flash dust! Leo's eyes were briefly blind. He will grab the scroll and possibly escape to where? The room is so big... Leo's brain is running fast. If he still has a brain, he will not only focus on the immediate interests and ignore the danger of a sharp blade. There is only one choice in front of him: kill them and swallow treasures alone. He clenched his sword, and the seal was ready to go.

However, the first thing he heard was not the roar of the nail hammer that Andrewson hit him - he was the enemy of the other party and the first object to be removed - but Rosie's muffled hum, followed by Eliza's scream.

The tingling in his eyes eased slightly, and Li Ou opened his eyes eagerly. Through the cover of tears, he saw Rosie covering her arm. Her leather armor was fiercely torn, and the nail hammer bit off a piece of skin. Blood quickly dyed her whole arm red, bright red like her long hair and anger in her eyes. Several dazzling reds seemed to converge in Leo's eyes, turning the mage into a burning flame.

"Bear it to me." Andrewson's dagger rested on Eliza's snow-white neck, and a drop of blood slipped down the blade. And there is a magic wand in his arm, which belongs to Rosie. Hurry up, miss!" He urged Lu Yuewu, "Give it to me." Lu Yuewu looked at Leo. Now you should obey my orders, not him!"

Pain can make people rational and drive people crazy. Leo looked at the muscles on his face entangled with each other and looked extremely ugly, thinking that he must belong to the latter. He nodded to Lu Yuewu.

"Brand," he gave orders to the dark-haired boy who was also subordinate to the thousand-faced hand, "Tear off your shirt and wrap his hand." He was extremely vigilant. Li Ou frowned and was afraid of the rope once he had been bitten by a snake for ten years. I don't want to capit in the same gutter.

Lu Yuewu took down the scroll, and the golden light suddenly contracted and became a little restrained.

"Stand there." Andrewson's dagger exerted a little force, and a drop of blood fell to the ground. Alyssa's face turned pale, with tears in her eyes, and she suppressed herself without saying a word. It was not until Brand wrapped around Leo's hand with a cloth strip that he continued to order, "Dika, go and give me the scroll."

Dika looked at Brand with a gloomy face and did not move.

"I said, bring the scroll!" Andrewson roared, "Don't forget that you are just a errand man. You have to obey my orders!" Instead of looking at your damn companion!"

"You are just enjoying your father's shade." Li Ou sneered and said, "There are only three of you present. Why do you order them? What can you promise them? Wealth or status?

"Shut up! I should have sealed your mouth!" Andrewson shouted angrily, "Stupid pig, bring it here!"

Brande winks at Deca with a gloomy face,

Dika held his anger and took the scroll from Lu Yuewu's hand. Li Ou, you took what belongs to me. It was mine. He said, "But this time, you can't take it away. And I'm going to take everything from you."

Li Ou didn't say a word.

"Two ladies, why are you willing to serve as his escort?" He was a little carried away. Follow me and I will give you more rewards."

"Okay, give me back the staff and give me a thousand Oren to treat my injury." Her arm has stopped bleeding, and the magic is slowly healing the wound. But she is still vibulous when she blackmails. I'll think about it." She said.

"I am loyal to the Lord." Lu Yuewu is shorter.

"Then you will die here."

He waved the dagger and must be thinking about how to make Brand's hand stained with blood. You will die here, too." Li Ou said calmly, "If you can't find a way out, what's the use even if you get everything? You killed me, but you died worse than me. Loss of water, hunger, loneliness. I'll wait for them to torture you to death."

"You reminded me." Andrewson suddenly smiled gloomyly, "I'm going to save your lives and torture you slowly. Accompanied by three beautiful ladies, there is a rival who can torture him, drink his blood, and gnaw his skin and internal organs. Even if I die, I will be satisfied."

Alyssa couldn't see Andrewson's expression across her lips with her tongue. But just listening to his words made her want to vomit. He is serious. Leo realized that if this was the case, he would really do it.

"Why don't you talk?" Andrewson smiled proudly and said, "You're scared, Leo. As I said, you are just a coward and never dare to face death.

He is talking about himself. I'm just thinking..." Li Ou smiled at the corners of his mouth.

What are you thinking about? I'm very idle now to listen to your eloquence.

"You forgot that we still have two friends." Leo looked at Brand and Dica, "I only have one head, two hands and two legs... How do you distribute them? Which part do they want to enjoy? Or..." Li Ou's smile became brighter and brighter. "Are they also your stomach food?"

"Enough!" Andrewson realized that it was not good, but it was too late. Brand's face became more and more gloomy, and Decca stared at him without hiding his hatred. How do you arrange it?" I, I..." He opened his mouth, but there was no way to refute it.

"He is dead. Died of black dawn. Li Ou added another fire. A flawless lie. He said in his heart.

"Shut up, shut up!" He shouted loudly.

If he didn't need Eliza as a hostage, I'm afraid he would have rushed over.

Brand approached Andrewson, and the out-of-the-sheath dagger reflected a miserable green light. The blade impregnated with venom seems to be opening its teeth and claws, and it can't wait.

However, there was a sudden buzz behind them, so clear that it seemed that the mechanism began to operate. The array supporting the scroll seems to have accumulated enough magic and gradually shines. Soon it became dazzling, and the milky halo turned into a lint, and then stretched out of the door frame and abruptly appeared in front of them.

Porter? Leo's heart suddenly tightened.

Crossing that door is for life, and staying here is death.

He and the girls' eyes staggered with each other, and then turned to Eliza. Her tears kept drooping like broken pearls. He can't make up his mind. I'm not cruel at all. He thought to himself, if only I were selfish.

"Can't I escape?" Andrewson laughed proudly in his ear. It seems that the god of death is not staring at me. He said, "Li Ou, there is no way out." As he spoke, he escorted Eliza to move slowly to the phalanx. The dagger firmly held against Eliza's neck, and the tip pierced into the skin, and blood gushed out. But he doesn't care. He made it impossible for Leo and the others to act rashly.

They are afraid of throwing rats, and there is nothing they can do, but they don't represent everyone.

Brand rushed up with an arrow, and the dagger pressed against Eliza's waist and stabbed him in the back. Blood is like a spring, and blood is like ink. The toxin quickly paralyzed his body, and the dagger in his hand slipped weakly, but it also left a terrible wound on Eliza's neck. The two of them fell to the ground together.

"How dare you... dare..." Andrewson's words are no longer complete. My...my father..."

"It's not me who killed you, it's Black Dawn." Brand said, "Also, 'I'd rather be a chicken head than a phoenix'. If I kill you, can't I take your place? I can also give orders, although those who will be led are idiots like you.

Andrewson opened his mouth, his pupils were quickly infected with ink, and his hands drooped.

"The dead can't be resurrected no matter how much hatred they hate." Brand looked into his resentful eyes and said. He pulled out his dagger, wiped it clean on Andrewson's clothes, and then stuffed back the scabbard. He picked up the scroll that fell aside and threw it to Leo without hesitation. It's yours."

Li Ou looked at him, "Why?"

"We are clear." He said, "I don't owe you anything anymore."

Although he said that he would not be grateful that he had saved him, he was very concerned about it.

Liou nodded, "We didn't get anything." He said to Brand, "We just escaped."

"We won't be so stupid." Decca beside him also nodded.

"Don't say anything when you go back." Leo told Eliza, "We haven't met them."

Alyssa's neck was wrapped in a cloth, and blood penetrated out. She looked at Leo with a pale face and nodded gently. Then, Lu Yuewu picked her up. They jumped into the portal.
