Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 125

Chapter 125 Face to Face

When everyone climbed out of the cave, it was already dark outside.

Nick was absent-mindedly writing and drawing. Seeing everyone coming back, he hurried to meet them.

…

This adventurous life of going underground during the day and returning before dark lasted for five days.

Because Thor and Nick were both second-level apprentices, they took turns to stay at the camp.

And the human-headed monster that appeared at the entrance of Chuishhou Valley never appeared again. This also made Byron and Thor, who had been a little nervous, relax a little.

On this day, it was Thor’s turn to stay.

Seeing that everyone had entered the cave for a while, he immediately put down the materials in his hand and studied his eyes instead.

He had not fallen asleep these days, and used deep meditation instead. In order to avoid accidentally entering the dreams of people around him.

Although he might know some secrets because of this, rashly knowing other people’s secrets without fully understanding the role of the nightmare butterfly would bring disaster to himself.

Thor has always remembered a saying in the wizarding world: “Danger comes from the unknown, and the unknown is endless.”

He faced the soul wave sensor, observing and recording the frequency of the silver light flashing in his eyes.

He found that if he did not meditate semi-immersed, the cocoons in his eyes would not shine.

When he entered semi-immersed meditation, a silver light flashed in his left eye almost every minute.

But the silver light was very weak, and it was almost impossible to detect if he was not staring at him face to face.

Just as Thor was planning how to start his experiment after returning, the sky suddenly darkened.

A shadow slowly covered the place where Thor was.

Thor looked up, the sky was clear and cloudless.

He looked back again and found that a huge ship appeared on the other side of the cliff!

The ship looked like an ancient three-masted sailing ship, but it was much larger than a normal sailing ship. There

was a monster painted on each of the three huge sails.

A slender ghost, a thousand-eyed banshee, and a giant flower that looked beautiful but had strange petals and stamens.

At this time, the giant sails were slowly being retracted, and the giant ship gradually stopped moving.

Below the sailboat was a huge hull wrapped in white bones.

Below it was blocked by the cliff and could not be seen clearly.

The shadow stopped spreading and the huge sailboat finally stopped.

“A huge ship sailing on land?” Thor stood up with a solemn expression, “…land boat?”

He still remembered that when he met Bill and Wright, Bill had just killed four people sailing on land.

Could it be that their companions came to find them?

Thor looked at the sky. It was still early, and it was far from the time when Byron and the others would come back.

Thor stood up and began to pack up.

Fortunately, the group did not set up a tent. As long as Thor hid some small instruments, no one should find their traces here.

Regardless of whether the people sailing on land were found by the four people, it would not be safe for Thor, a second-level apprentice, to collide with them.

He moved several large instruments to the depths of a nearby cave and laid some plants on the periphery.

He put on his backpack and prepared to move to another place to hide.

However, at this moment, the diary suddenly flew out and unfolded in front of him at an extremely fast speed. Lines of words appeared as if they were running at four times the speed.

[New Moon Year 316, April 20th

Since leaving the wizard tower,

you have been living a smooth life.

Now you finally see

what the outside world is like.

You will be caught and

tortured,

but no matter what you say,

they will eventually dig out your eyes and

turn you into a flower~]

“Can’t be caught!” Thor immediately realized that the person who came this time would become his enemy.

He didn’t have time to choose a suitable hole, so he jumped into the nearest one and ran desperately.

“Hua La La…”

Some mud and sand were brought down by Thor. He quickly stopped and lay on the ground, fearing that the sound would alarm the people on the ground.

Since the diary has already popped out, it means that the enemy could have found him quickly.

Thor only had a few minutes at most.

But it was these few minutes of time difference that gave Thor a chance to hide.

“Fortunately, there are caves everywhere, and they are twisting and turning inside. Otherwise, I really don’t have much chance of hiding.”

Thor held his breath and looked up at the top of his head.

Because he turned a few corners, he could no longer see the cave entrance. He just hoped that his actions just now did not leave too obvious traces on the ground.

At the same time, he was ready to escape at any time.

“Plop, plop, plop…”

Thor’s heart was beating wildly.

The leader who could drive such a huge sailboat on land must be very powerful.

Thor could only hope that there were no official wizards among them.

“Plop, plop, plop…”

Waiting without signs was the most tormenting.

The tunnel became more and more quiet. Thor couldn’t help but raise his hand to press his chest, his eyes still looking at the dark front.

Time passed little by little.

There was no sound from above.

Maybe the people outside didn’t notice the traces here and had left.

Thor raised his body slightly and climbed down a little bit.

After descending a few meters again and turning a few corners, Thor fumbled to take out a thin test tube from his backpack.

The test tube was left by Light. As long as Thor buried the worm in the test tube in the soil, Light would know that something had happened to Thor.

Thor followed the agreed plan and buried half of the worm in the soil and left the other half outside.

This meant that there was danger on the ground, but Thor was fine.

If the whole worm was buried, it meant that Thor was asking for help.

“Huh…” After doing all this, Thor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This way, he would not be afraid that Byron and the others would come out of the cave without any defense and run into the enemy head-on.

He continued to lie on the ground for about two hours. His stomach began to call for food, so he slowly got up.

It was pitch black all around, and only the diary on his left shoulder, contrary to the theory of optics, still appeared clearly in his sight.

“Can I go up and see now?”

The diary flew out, giving him an uncomfortable way to die.

“Okay. I hope they can leave before dark. I don’t want to spend the night underground.”

“Can I use the glimmering technique?” Thor continued to think.

The diary flew out again.

But this time the content made Thor’s heart stop beating!

[New Moon Year 316, April 20th

You hid underground,

thinking you had escaped the crisis.

You stood up and lit up the surroundings,

and then you saw

a head opposite you.

He grinned, revealing a row of neat red teeth.

“You found me~”

You wanted to run,

but his neck stretched faster, and

you were rolled up.

After he knew that he couldn’t find other people through you,

he bit off half of your face.]

Thor read the contents of the diary without blinking.

However, what he wanted to know more was whether there was a face opposite him quietly watching his every move.
