Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 118

Chapter 118 The Disappearing Cocoon

The evil spirit thing is a bit strange. Logically speaking, an unactivated sensor is a useless mirror and it is impossible to see evil spirits.

But Byron and Nick did not think that Thor had seen it wrong.

Anyway, whether Thor saw an illusion or not, there are only two results: the existence of evil spirits or the non-existence of evil spirits.

“This is the entrance to Chuishou Valley. There can’t be too powerful evil spirits.” Nick activated the sensor and checked the surroundings again.

No spirits were found.

“But Thor, why did you put the sensor on the ground?” Nick raised his head in surprise, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, “Is it because you are too short to reach it?”

“Puff!”

Thor immediately turned his head and looked at Byron angrily, but he only saw Byron’s calm face and innocent eyes.

Thor’s sight shifted to Byron’s throat. He swore that it must have been cracked just now!

But the problem of height is not something he can solve now, although he firmly believes that he will grow to 1.8 meters.

“Right.” Thor returned to the topic. He looked around again and confirmed that there were no headless monsters around. Then he whispered to the two of them, “I just saw a lot of… monsters with only heads and two feet. But they disappeared before you came back.”

Thor lowered his voice again, “I didn’t dare to disturb them. Do you know what kind of monster it was?”

He looked up and saw that Byron’s face began to twitch.

On the other side, Nick’s pupils shrank suddenly, and there was obvious fear in his eyes.

“Pa!” Nick suddenly slapped himself. He looked up with a ferocious expression, “Those… monsters, are they gone now?”

Thor saw that Nick was not in a good state, and nodded quickly, “They are all gone, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to ask you.”

“I’ll be alone for a while.” Nick suddenly stood up and went into his tent.

After a while, the kind of groaning that was covered with the mouth tightly but still leaked a little sound came from the tent.

Byron’s performance was better. His throat was split. “Fortunately, you didn’t alarm them. Those are human-headed monsters. Originally, they could only be seen in the depths of the Valley of the Hands.”

Byron saw the confusion in Thor’s eyes and sighed. “I didn’t tell you before because the more people knew about the existence of human-headed monsters, the easier it would be to meet them. I didn’t expect you to meet them anyway. If you attract their attention, they may also turn you into a human-headed monster. And you yourself will even forget that you were once a normal person.”

So that’s how it is. No wonder Byron and Nick didn’t say a word about such a dangerous monster.

“How many monsters did you see?”

“…All over the ground.”

“Hiss–” Byron took a breath, he immediately stood up and walked to Nick’s tent, “Nick, vent quickly, we’d better leave here now.”

Nick inside responded vaguely.

Byron came back and told Thor, “Don’t dismantle the equipment, just move it to the car, and we’ll go to another place.”

Because they were afraid that the human-headed monster would come back at any time, Byron and Thor only took the important things with them, and simply gave up the tent.

Thor didn’t bring much with him except some books. But when he picked up his backpack and walked out of the tent, his movements suddenly froze.

Where is the Nightmare Butterfly’s cocoon?

Thor was observing the silver ball-shaped cocoon when he suddenly saw the human-headed monster.

After that, because of nervousness, he never paid attention to the cocoon in his hand.

Now recalling, he can’t remember whether he put the cocoon away.

Thor quickly searched through his pockets and looked on the ground, but he didn’t see the silver ball.

“It’s impossible to lose it. Could it be that the human-headed monster picked it up after it fell on the ground?”

Thor simply sat down and closed his eyes to recall.

“No, I didn’t feel that I was holding something in my hand the moment I saw the human-headed monster, so I didn’t think of the Nightmare Butterfly’s cocoon.”

Thor shook his hands and slowly opened his eyes, “Yes, the cocoon disappeared in an instant.”

After becoming a wizard apprentice, his memory was enhanced by the spiritual body, and he would not forget where he had lost something the moment before.

He could even recall the subtle things he had done by focusing on his memories.

So, Thor was sure that he didn’t lose the cocoon accidentally, but that the cocoon disappeared in an instant.

At that moment, he didn’t notice it at all, and didn’t realize it until he calmed down afterwards.

“Thor!”

Senior Byron outside had already started to urge.

Thor glanced at the tent unwillingly, “Did he escape by himself, or was it stolen by other beings?”

Damn, he hasn’t started research yet!

But it’s not safe here anymore.

Even Senior Byron, a third-level apprentice, is afraid.

Thor can’t take it lightly.

He hurriedly left the tent, full of regrets.

At this time, Nick finally recovered from his emotional outburst and rushed back to the wooden spider with his things. But his hands were full of bruises, and he didn’t know if he was pinched by himself.

Thor already knew that Nick would deliberately suppress his emotional changes because he was studying emotional witchcraft.

But if he couldn’t help laughing or couldn’t help being afraid, he would have an extreme emotional outburst.

For example, he would faint from laughter, or be so scared that he would vomit.

This side effect is actually very scary. Because it’s okay at ordinary times, if you encounter extreme situations and can’t handle them calmly, you may be in danger.

Thor guessed that this might be one of the reasons why Nick couldn’t be promoted to level three.

The wooden spider started up and quickly left the campsite, which was no longer safe.

When Thor looked out the rear window, he vaguely saw a mass of heads at the foot of the mountain.

He retracted his gaze and pretended that he had not seen anything.

Opposite Thor was the mirror of the soul wave sensor.

Because they were in a hurry, they did not disassemble the instrument, but directly moved it onto the wooden spider.

This caused the originally spacious carriage to become crowded, and the three people had to sit against the wall.

As soon as Thor saw the mirror, he remembered the shadow that had appeared in it, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply turned

his head away. However, the moment he looked away, he suddenly seemed to see a silver light.

He immediately turned his sight back.

His blurred and deformed face was reflected in the mirror, but there was no silver light.

“Am I seeing it wrong?”

Thor moved his face closer, so that his distorted face became clearer in the mirror.

But he still didn’t see anything wrong.

Just as Thor was wondering and wanted to move back, he suddenly found that his left eye actually lit up.

Thor was startled and looked at the two people around him.

Because of the obstruction of the sensor, they should not be able to see Thor’s face.

Thor narrowed his eyes and entered a semi-immersive meditation state.

This time, Thor finally saw it.

In his left eye, a small silver ball appeared. The ball was covered with starlight, shining brightly.

Thor resisted the urge to rub his eyes and slowly lowered his head.

The cocoon of the nightmare butterfly actually ran into his eyes!
