Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 735

Chapter 725 Plans and Accidents

Whitebeard was just behind the gate.

He and the orange cat had already made this place their base.

But when Thor walked through the gate, the first thing he saw was not the white-bearded wizard squatting on the ground, but the dense, twisted and curly tree roots behind the gate.

These tree roots were supposed to be underground, but now they were piled up inside the academy like the walls of a maze. It seemed as if they were deliberately trimmed into this shape by the gardener.

The wall composed of these tree roots was taller than Thor.

Only when Thor flew up could he see the more shocking big tree stumps inside through the vast wall of tree roots like a dense forest.

Just as the orange cat described, a tree stump that was cut in half, or cut off by the roots, lay flat in the center of the academy.

The original buildings had been destroyed or squeezed to the sides.

What surprised Thor was that the tree stump in front of him had been exposed to the air for several months. But the cross-section of the stump was still as fresh as before, as if it had just been cut off.

Thor narrowed his eyes, and countless runes seemed to be moving on the broken cross-section of the tree stump.

Sometimes they appeared on the bark, and sometimes they sank into the trunk.

The magic power was evenly transmitted to the roots around, making the wall of tree roots in front of him slowly grow higher and larger.

“Don’t think about flying over from above.” At this time, Whitebeard, who was squatting on the ground to draw a magic circle, said, “My and Orange Cat’s witchcraft are very dependent on the ground. If you are in the sky, we can’t go over to support you.”

He pointed at the wall of tree roots without looking back, “And these tree roots can actually grow to a very high height. And even if you can fly higher, it’s useless. After all, our target, the huge tree stump, is on the ground.”

Thor fell back to the ground, “Thanks for the reminder.”

Only then did he observe the magic circle

drawn by Whitebeard on the ground. This small piece of clean open space is almost the last pure land inside the academy. And this open space also has a witchcraft magic circle that almost covers the entire open space.

Thor and Orange Cat can only stand against the wall.

Whitebeard is still perfecting the details of the magic circle, making final preparations for the upcoming attack.

Thor observed the magic circle on the ground for a while, “Air…cannon?”

“I like this adjective of yours.” Whitebeard finished drawing the last magic rune and looked up, “I used to fire cannons frequently. But now I don’t have the chance.”

He stood up and explained the magic circle to Thor.

“Air cannon, just as you described, gathers the air nearby and then shoots it out like a cannon. The longer we entangle with these tree roots, the more passive we become. This magic circle can use the air cannon to open a path closer to the tree stump for us.”

“When we reach the end of the path opened by the air cannon, we can use witchcraft to advance, which can save a lot of effort.”

Whitebeard didn’t seem to be afraid that Thor would steal his skills, so he openly displayed the original magic circle in front of Thor.

“How long do you have?” The orange cat walked back and forth impatiently, “When it’s completely light, these tree roots will be more active.”

“Now.” White Beard stood up, “Let’s retreat to the front of the gate. Remember to rush into the gap as soon as you hear the roar.”

The orange cat on the side was already ready for the attack, and at the same time, he said to the two of them with his eyes fixed on them: “Remember, once you find someone who looks like Dean Baidong, you have to wait until everyone gathers before you can search him. Otherwise , you’ll get yourself into trouble!”

From the tone of the orange cat, Thor seemed to have determined that once Dean Baidong was found, he could subdue him.

But would the strength of a dean of a big force be so unbearable?

As for whether the other party was alienated, Thor was not sure. After all, in the memory of Wizard Jonah, the other party only launched the inverted tree that sacrificed everyone in order to save Wizard Beth who was injured by Char.

However, no matter what the truth is, he should enter the academy now.

I think Keli, who stayed outside, has already arranged five auxiliary magic circles.

“Bang–“

Suddenly there was an explosion, as if someone had broken a big drum in an instant.

The orange cat and white beard beside him rushed out at the first moment, and Thor waited for a few seconds before following behind the two.

The huge air cannon shattered the tree roots in front of him in an instant. When Thor stepped into it, the tree roots behind him had actually re-sealed the entrance.

The three people ran inside following the gap created by the air cannon. The closer they got to the center of the academy, the denser and thicker the tree roots inside became.

The power of the air cannon was gradually weakening, and with the gradual increase in the obstruction, the speed of the passage expansion began to slow down.

But they were still several hundred meters away from the big tree stump in the center.

“Get ready!” The orange cat meowed and suddenly jumped to the side.

The next second, several branches with extremely sharp tops shot out from the tree root walls on both sides and pierced into the place where the orange cat had just been.

But then, a thorn rose from the ground, pinched the most vulnerable angle of the tree root, and cut out, directly counter-attacking several branches that attacked the orange cat.

A large number of branches collapsed and fell to the ground.

Whitebeard on the other side also began to deal with the sneak attacks of the branches on both sides.

His hair was like steel needles, and when put together, it was a sharp knife.

The opponent must have cast some witchcraft. The branches swept by the steel needles would turn dark yellow and brittle, and finally fall off the tree root wall by themselves.

Sol, who was the last one, felt the whistling of wind behind him. It was obvious that there were also man-eating branches attacking him in the tree root wall behind him.

Sol didn’t even look back, and suddenly a dense black blade appeared behind him.

The blades fell like rain, fired silently, but like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves, tearing all the branches that tried to attack him into pieces.

When the sound behind him disappeared, Thor looked back.

He found that the branches that stretched out from the root wall had been destroyed, but the root wall only had a few small holes.

And those small holes quickly disappeared with the rapid replenishment of other tree roots.

“The replenishment is very fast, even faster than the casting speed. What is providing energy to these tree roots?”

Without anyone’s answer, Thor immediately thought of the people who disappeared in the inner city.

The three of them rushed forward quickly, dealing with attacks from above, below, left, right, front and back.

After losing the blank area pushed by the air cannon, they had to push against the tree roots like a city wall to move forward again.

At this time, Thor and the orange cat changed positions, and he took the lead, using the sharper black blade to open a gap in the road ahead.

Although the three people were all strong, there were too many branches and roots around, and soon their clothes were damaged.

Despite the difficulties, they gradually approached the stump of the inverted tree.

“I saw the stump, there are no nasty trees on it, King… Whitebeard, throw me over there, Black Blade, help me eliminate the attacks in the air.”

This was also the plan designated by the three of them.

Whitebeard did not hesitate, grabbed the orange cat’s front legs, quickly turned it twice in the air, and threw it out.

“Meow!!!!”

The orange cat screamed angrily, obviously dissatisfied with the way Whitebeard threw him.

Thor smiled and immediately waved his hand to let Black Blade follow.

According to the plan, after the orange cat reached the stump, it would immediately set up a small air cannon to open a new passage on the side of the two.

In this way, Thor and Whitebeard could break through a thin layer of “wall” and move forward a long distance again.

After several repetitions, it was enough for them to break free from the tree roots and climb onto the surface of the big stump.

However, the plan still couldn’t keep up with the changes.

After the orange cat flew out of the sight of the two, it suddenly let out a shrill scream.

“Meow, woo, woo, woo—”

Whitebeard glared, “Could these tree roots climb up the tree stump?”

But then he heard the orange cat continue to shout: “There’s a ghost!!!”
