While he was sighing in his heart, 'I'm going to die this time,' he discovered that after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel any pain.
Not even the wind was heard.
He quietly opened one eye, only to find that Mrs. Silla's waving forelimb was fixed on the tip of his nose.
"What's going on?" When little Sam was confused, Mrs. Silla's body suddenly softened and she fell to the ground.
As Mrs. Silla fell, little Sam saw the man standing behind Mrs. Silla: "...Mr. Thiessen?"
Froude stood in the semi-darkness, with one of his hands still inserted into the opening in the huge abdomen of Lady Silla's spider body.
He slowly pulled out his hand, and you could see that his translucent hand was bloody.
Mrs. Silla is an undead, and Froud is also a spirit body, so there is no way there is blood.
This blood belongs to little Sam.
"You did a good job before. You know that the blood of your relatives is the key to restraining Mrs. Silla. But when you were operating, you overlooked an issue. Mrs. Silla's mouth is not only on her head, but also on her abdomen. In other words, the mouth on her abdomen is the closest to the core of the soul body." In the doubtful eyes of little Sam, Froude explained: "Although the mouth on her head has blood, it will also make her The soul body gradually collapses, but the collapse time is relatively longer, and she may launch another attack during this period, just like she did just now."
"You can only hit her with one hit by probing your blood into the mouth of her abdomen. She will collapse the fastest and won't be able to fight back."
Hearing this, little Sam finally reacted.
The blood entrance mentioned in the "Book of the Dead" turns out to be not the mouth on Lady Silla's head, but the abdominal slit where countless sharp teeth can be seen.
"After all, you haven't left the mortal world, and your thinking and judgment are still based on the rules of ordinary humans, so I don't blame you for this mistake. When you enter the wizarding world in the future and see all kinds of strange creatures, you will naturally Gradually escape from the current thinking dilemma." As Froude said, he took out a bottle and took in Mrs. Silla who was gradually turning into a half-ghost.
As soon as Mrs. Silla entered the bottle, the collapse-like blur immediately stopped, as if time had been frozen.
Froude shook the bottle with satisfaction. He would be able to practice soul tricks with this later.
However, before that, little Sam still needs to nod.
After all, it was little Sam who killed Lady Silla. Even if Froud helped patch it up in the end, in fact, even if he didn't patch it up, the demise would not stop. Lady Silla would also die after a while, but the speed would be slower than before.
When Froude was thinking about how to get Little Sam to nod, Little Sam suddenly asked: "Master Thiessen, you know that Mrs. Silla will come to the castle, right?"
Seeing the obviously resentful look in Little Sam's eyes, Froud didn't know how to answer.
"Yes." At this time, a clear and powerful voice sounded from the dark corridor in the distance.
Following the sound of footsteps, a man with red hair and golden eyes appeared in Little Sam's field of vision.
Little Sam looked at the visitor and said respectfully: "Mr. Pat."
Angel nodded, walked up to Little Sam, stretched out his finger to draw a little bit of the air, Little Sam felt as if there was a rushing sound of breath coming from his ears, and the dirt on the wound on his body disappeared instantly.
After the wound became clean, another wave of warmth came, and the torn wound began to heal quickly.
"Is this a wizard's spell?" Little Sam stared blankly at the wound that sprouted flesh, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"It's a trick, not a spell. A level 0 cleaning trick and a level 1 healing trick. They are very simple tricks. You will be exposed to the basic tricks as soon as you step into the apprenticeship." Angel After explaining the magic problem, he paused and said, "I can answer your question now."
"You want to know if we know that Mrs. Silla will come. Yes, we are very sure that she will appear, and we also know that you will become her hunting target."
Little Sam's eyes flashed: "That's why Mr. reminded me before, asking me to be careful and use my brain more when I encounter danger."
Angel nodded: "That's right."
After getting the affirmative answer, Little Sam recalled Ada's sudden change of attitude before. He didn't think it was wrong at the time, but looking back now, it was a little strange: "Yada suddenly said he wanted to go back to rest. Could it be that..."
Froude: "We sensed that Madam Silla was about to appear. In order to prevent Ada from being injured, I sent a message to him and asked him to return to the room where the defensive magic energy array was set up."
Little Sam was silent for a moment: "What about me?"
Although it was just a simple rhetorical question, it was full of restrained emotions. If Flood had been in Little Sam's position, he would probably have been even more excited - everyone knew the truth, but he was kept in the dark. It is not easy to control this feeling of grievance and rejection.
Angel smiled: "Didn't you already guess that the reason why you came here is to let you face Mrs. Silla directly."
"Why?" When little Sam saw Froud appear and point out "the real mouth is in her belly", he guessed: everything he did, his escape, Mrs. Silla's pursuit , in fact, they are all under the noses of Froude and Angel.
"So, am I just an actor in a preset drama?"
The change in Little Sam's eyes did not hide Angel's eyes. Angel also heard the hidden meaning in Little Sam's words - he is an actor on the stage, so what are they?
Angel gently rubbed little Sam's brown hair: "You are neither an actor, nor are we the audience to be pleased."
Although Angel just gave an empty denial, little Sam was inexplicably convinced.
Even though he believed Angel's words, little Sam was still a little depressed, lowered his head and remained silent.
Angel also understood Little Sam, so he didn't care about his awkwardness: "Maybe you will be a little strange or even resentful, but it all stems from the words you asked me when we came here."
Little Sam: "What did I ask?"
"Don't you want to join the Savage Cave?"
Little Sam nodded blankly. He had indeed told Angel before that he hoped to join Mr. Pat's wizarding organization.
Angel: "You should have heard about the purpose of the orphanage when you are in the orphanage these days."
Little Sam continued to nod. Ada had said before that his and Sunny's role in the orphanage was to act as characters in the fantasy world of Dead by Daylight, giving the talented people an introductory trial.
Thinking of this, little Sam suddenly realized something and his eyes lit up: "So, this is about my trial? Can I join the Savage Cave if I pass the trial?"
Angel smiled and nodded: "Yes, congratulations, you passed. This is indeed a trial, but it is slightly different from what you imagined."
"different?"
"You will understand the specific differences when you enter the Savage Cave."
Little Sam's eyes flashed with joy. He didn't care what the so-called difference was. What he cared about now was... he had entered the Savage Cave!
Although the process is painful, the result is good, and for little Sam, this is already very good.
Little Sam couldn't help but want to stand up and salute Angel. However, as soon as he moved, the unhealed wound immediately taught him a sad lesson.
Flood quickly stepped forward and helped little Sam: "You can't move now. If you want to express your joy, wait until the injury is healed."
"About Mrs. Silla." When little Sam was helped to sit down in a nearby guest room, Angel's voice came again: "It was taken away by Froude with a soul bottle."
Little Sam nodded, and he saw Mrs. Silla being put into a small bottle.
"This thing is of no use to you at the moment, but it will be of great use to Froude." Angel gestured with his eyes to Froude to step forward and explain.
Froude immediately stepped forward and made it clear that he needed Mrs. Silla's assistance in practicing.
After hearing this, little Sam was stunned for a long time before he realized that Froude was asking for his opinion.
"Although Madam Silla is a test, her appearance and her death are all due to you. Therefore, according to the principle of distribution, her maximum distribution right is yours." Froude said.
According to Froud's own character, he actually doesn't know how to talk about distribution principles with a mortal.
However, little Sam was different. He is a near-spiritual person with unparalleled soul talent. This talent has the opportunity to attract special souls and special undead. This alone would be of great use to him, or Ada and Shani, in the future.
Nowadays, maintaining a good relationship in advance will bring you all the benefits and no harm.
Having been a slave for a long time, little Sam can clearly feel the sincerity and hypocrisy. Froude was sincere and frank now, and he did not rely on his status, but treated everyone equally, which moved little Sam very much.
Some of the resentment that little Sam had left before was now gone.
He had read many records about the undead before, and understood that the undead would have no effect on him at this stage, or even for a long time in the future. If you stay around, it may have extremely bad effects.
Angel was right, Mrs. Silla was of no use to him. Therefore, it is okay to hand him over to Flood, not to mention that Flood also promised to compensate him in the future.
Thinking of this, Little Sam no longer hesitated and nodded: "I agree to hand it over to Mr. Thiessen. If it hadn't been for Mr. Thiessen's help before, I would have died."
Froude smiled and did not say, "Even if he doesn't take action, Angel will not let him die." He played with the soul bottle with a smile.
Angel patted Little Sam on the shoulder: "I will take Froud to practice first. You should stay here for the time being. There will be no more danger in the future."
After finishing speaking, Angel gave Froude a look, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Little Sam stroked his gradually healing wound. After the wound completely recovered, he immediately lit an oil lamp, took out a blank notebook, and recorded today's events.
…
On the other side, Angel and Froude flew quickly through the mountains and forests.
Soon, they came to a bare mountain peak, not far from Star Lake Castle, and could even vaguely see the lights of another castle on the mountainside.
Angel: "Let's look for him separately."
Flood nodded: "Okay."
The reason why they came here was because after their secret observation, this was where Lady Silla first appeared.
This means that Mrs. Silla has been hiding around here before.
They had never felt the aura of the undead here before. How did Lady Silla hide the aura? This made them feel a little weird, so they came to investigate.
Because the scope has been narrowed, it is relatively easier for them to find anomalies.
It didn't take long for Angel to discover a certain place inside the mountain that he couldn't penetrate with his mental power and was blocked by an invisible force.
After confirming the location, Angel took out a basic earth magic pattern leather scroll used to build a house.
With the power of the leather scroll, a cave was forcibly opened from the mountainside directly to the interior of the mountain.
The cave was opened to the end and directly connected to a huge cave. It was in this cave that Angel discovered the anomaly before.
The air in the cave is flowing and moist. Obviously there is an exit here, and it should be hidden somewhere in the forest. However, I didn't see the cave after searching for a long time, so I thought it was very hidden. But it doesn't matter how hidden it is, they got in in another way anyway.
Because they had already determined their location, they didn't hesitate at all and quickly found a place where spiritual power could not penetrate.
That's a hole in the ground.
This cave is not naturally formed. It has clearly carved stone steps leading all the way to the depths of darkness.
Angel looked at the entrance of the cave with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Outsiders couldn't see it, but as an alchemist who had in-depth research on magic patterns, he could feel that the entrance to the cave seemed ordinary, but there was a layer of membrane created by the magic energy array that was invisible to the naked eye.
It was this membrane that blocked his mental power from prying into it before.
Although Angel didn't think there was anything here that could hurt him, just in case, he still spent some time studying this magic energy array where he didn't know where the main array was.
After a while, Angel basically confirmed the type of magic energy array.
This is a magic energy array used to cover the breath. Other than that, it has no other effects. Moreover, even if it was to cover up the aura, the effect was already very weak, because Angel could vaguely feel a gloomy deathly aura escaping from the hole.
The magic energy array itself is complete, and the reason why its effect is weak is that there is no energy supply.
This also illustrates a problem. There is a high probability that there is no one inside.
"Go in." After confirming that there was no danger, Angel and Flood stepped directly into the cave.
Angel had already felt the gloomy death energy before. After passing through the magic energy array and entering the cave, the death energy was no longer concealed and rushed toward them crazily.
"The death energy here is even stronger than that of Star Lake Castle." Froud sensed the swarming death energy, and his already saturated soul power began to move somewhat. He quickly gathered his thoughts to avoid being infected by the death energy from the outside world.
"There is so much death energy, either the undead are resident there, or a lot of people have died." Angel said, you will know the specific situation once you go in and take a look.
Although the death energy was fierce, it was not a direct attack and had no effect on them.
After walking down the hole for about twenty meters, the steps finally reached the end.
