Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 120

Chapter 120 The Mountain is Full of White

Before Thor could figure it out, Bill on the opposite side walked back to Byron.

For some reason, Bill suddenly became interested in Byron’s mission and proposed to go with Byron.

Thor initially suspected that it might be because of him.

But after those two exchanges, Bill never took the initiative to talk to Thor again.

It made his suspicion seem a bit self-indulgent.

Byron was a little hesitant about Bill’s proposal at first.

But considering that Chuishu Valley had been a little abnormal recently and the periphery seemed unsafe, he agreed.

After all, if three level 3 apprentices act together, as long as there is no internal conflict, they can basically walk sideways on the periphery of Chuishu Valley.

“Our mission is to catch an evil spirit.” Byron stated the demand first.

“You catch the evil spirit, and we pick up the corpse, which is perfect. Maybe we can pick up some relics of our predecessors in the cave.” Bill raised his eyebrows and looked like

he would cooperate obediently. The addition of two level 3 apprentices to the team is still beneficial to Thor’s plan to catch evil spirits.

Before leaving, Bill casually threw the four people he had just killed into a cave.

Even if the corpses were destroyed.

Everyone set off to continue to go deeper into the Chuishhou Valley. The wooden spiders became more crowded. Fortunately, there was no fat man among this group of wizard apprentices.

Along the way, there were more and more holes on the ground.

Some of these holes were as thin as a forearm, and some were three or four meters in diameter. Most of them were more or less bottomless.

When driving a wooden spider, you must be careful not to let your spider legs get stuck in the holes.

“Many of these holes were made by wizards for exploration. Because there is no overall plan, the holes are dug at will. The underground is crisscrossed and it is easy to get lost.” Byron drove the wooden spider carefully while chatting with Thor.

At the same time, he was also warning Bill and the other two who were not familiar with this place not to run around.

After walking for an hour, Nick turned on the sensor from time to time to check if there were any spirits nearby.

But maybe because everyone was still outside the Chuishhou Valley, or the spirits were not very active during the day, the sensor had no response.

“Is your thing useful?” Bill bent his fingers and knocked on the mirror of the sensor twice.

Just as Byron frowned, Nick suddenly shouted, “We found traces of a spirit!”

Thor leaned over to take a look, and sure enough, he also saw a blurry shadow on the mirror.

The reason why he was sure it was a spirit, not other reflections, was because the shadow was a very flat human figure, without the distortion and changes of other images in the mirror.

But this shadow was different from the one Thor had seen alone before.

Although the facial features of the shadow he saw alone were not visible, it was very close to the mirror, as if it was standing behind Thor.

The color of the image was also dark gray and almost black, unlike the blurry one now, which was light gray, like a puff of light smoke that would dissipate at any time.

Byron controlled the wooden spider to slow down, turned his head to take a look, and said with certainty, “Yes, it’s a spirit, but it’s so blurry, it should have passed by in a day or two.”

Bill finally became interested, “A day or two ago? Could it have crawled out from the ground?”

Wright sat on the back of the mirror and couldn’t see anything, but it didn’t stop him from joining in the fun, “Bill, your fingers are quite useful, do you want to knock again?”

Thor was startled, afraid that Bill would move again. If this kind of instrument is messed up, it needs to be re-debugged, which is very time-consuming.

Fortunately, Bill heard the traces of spirits and his attention was diverted from the sensor.

He jumped out of the window without waiting for the wooden spider to stop.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s find a hole to go down now.”

But Byron ignored him and stopped on a relatively flat ground not far away near the cliff.

This is their temporary position.

Thor helped Nick lift the sensor down, put it on the ground, clapped his hands, and looked up and around.

There are many more caves here than near their original camp. They are like they are on a huge cheese, and there are many caves even on the cliffs on the side, and they don’t know where they will lead to.

After setting up the new camp, Byron began to arrange tasks.

“I suggest that you all disperse and search for caves with traces of pollution. After returning, summarize your findings and choose the most likely one to enter.”

But Bill jumped out to object.

“Neither Wright nor I are good at observing spirits. If you keep searching like this, we may miss clues without knowing it. In my opinion, we should all find a cave together and keep going down. If we go deep enough, we will definitely encounter evil spirits.”

But Byron was a little worried, “If we go too deep, we may encounter enemies we can’t deal with.”

Nick and Thor are both second-level apprentices, especially Thor, who has only mastered a first-level witchcraft and lacks the ability to protect himself.

“If you can’t deal with it, run away.” Bill said nonchalantly, “Byron, you are too conservative, so it took you so long to advance to the third level.”

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Bill slapped Thor on the shoulder, “To be a wizard, you can’t be afraid of danger.”

Thor had seen Bill use his purple smoke to melt corpses, and now he felt a little uncomfortable when he was pressed by him.

But the diary didn’t say anything, so it shouldn’t have been tampered with secretly. I don’t think Bill would suddenly attack him in front of Byron.

After some consideration, Byron finally agreed to Bill’s proposal.

“What you said makes sense. Let’s go together and go deep underground. But we still need to leave someone in the camp to observe the movement of the sensor. Let Nick and Thor take turns to be responsible.”

He took the opportunity to assign tasks to Thor and pulled Thor aside. “The previous things were still a bit strange. Even if a tidal storm occurs, it rarely affects the entrance of the Valley of the Hands. So I plan to catch the evil spirit as soon as possible and leave after completing the task.”

Thor nodded.

“Of course, we will help you find a suitable spirit body on the way, but we may not have time for you to study it slowly.”

Finding a relatively complete spirit body for yourself is just a side job. Since something is wrong here, Thor will naturally not force it.

Besides, the credits earned from completing the task alone are not small. Thor is not too greedy.

“I will find a way myself. Don’t worry too much about my spirit body.”

Thor thought to himself, at most he would ask Nick to break the spirit body and strengthen his hands again. It would be a bit of a waste at most.

After the tasks were reassigned, it was already afternoon, but no one wanted to waste the day, so after a quick meal, the exploration team was ready to set off.

The person who was responsible for staying at the camp today was Nick.

Wright crossed his arms and looked at the densely packed holes in front of him, with a tangled expression on his pale face.

“Which hole should we enter from?”

Bill clapped his hands, “We’re going deep anyway, so let’s choose the nearest one!”

He pointed to a hole with a diameter of nearly two meters five meters away and said.

Byron chose a hole with a diameter of about three meters, and there were traces of human activities around it. “It’s better to find a hole that has been explored by people and has a large space, so that everyone can act together.”

Thor did not immediately join the discussion. He thought of what Byron said at the beginning, the method of following the traces of pollution to track down the spirit, and his heart moved.

Observing pollution, isn’t this what he is good at?

Thor immediately half-closed his eyes and visualized the picture of people and monsters walking.

Suddenly, the world in front of him… didn’t change.

Could it be that there are too few spirits outside the Chuishhou Valley? Or has this place been cultivated by too many people? Why is it so clean everywhere?

It doesn’t look like a wizard’s burial ground at all.

There are dozens of large holes on the ground in front of him, and even more small holes, but none of them have any abnormal reactions.

This made Thor a little disappointed. He turned his head and was about to put away his meditation method when he suddenly saw the cliff behind him.

He found that on one side of the mountain wall behind them, there were some strange white shadows crawling outside several caves.

Thor couldn’t help but walk over and was about to take a closer look when those white shadows suddenly stretched out one by one and turned into white hand shadows as thin as bone firewood.

Those hands were as thin as wooden poles, densely packed and like weeds. They grew on the periphery of the cliff caves and kept waving and shaking.

When Thor’s eyes fell on them, those arms seemed to be able to feel Thor’s gaze and waved even more.

It was as if they were calling Thor to come over, and it was as if they were asking Thor for help.
