"Damnit!"
Realizing what had happened, the black-robed Apprentice felt a chill in his heart, as well as a sense of fury.
He had never thought that a Third Rank Apprentice like him would be bewitched by someone's mind for so long.
If it wasn't for that intense sense of danger waking him up, it would have taken a long time for him to recover.
This was evidently not something that an ordinary Third Rank Apprentice could do.
Using one's mental energy to distort the perception of others and temporarily bewitching them was something that only Apprentices with powerful mental energy could do.
It was one thing for an ordinary person to be bewitched, but it would be incredibly difficult for a Third Rank Apprentice to be bewitched as well.
The difference between a Third Rank Apprentice and an ordinary person was too great, and the difference in their mental energy was also too great.
Even true Sorcerers would not be able to bewitch a Third Rank Apprentice like the black-robed Apprentice.
If it was before, he would never have believed that he would be bewitched by a Third Rank Apprentice like this.
However, the truth was right in front of him, and he could not refute it.
An intense sense of danger rose up in his heart.
The black-robed Apprentice instinctively wanted to struggle and turn around to rush towards the island.
However, it was too late.
The Merfolk could not hold back anymore and opened their savage-looking mouths as they attacked the black-robed Apprentice.
The chaotic magic power aura trembled, and one could faintly see the Merfolk Sorcerer's figure.
Hiding behind the Merfolk, he seemed to be in hiding and could act at any moment.
The black-robed Apprentice could not help but stop, and his magic power aura exploded out.
Boundless magic power aura swept out.
At this point, whether he was willing or not, he had to resist, or else he would die in the mouths of these Merfolk.
If he struggled, there was still hope, but if he did not struggle, he would definitely die.
A bloody battle was about to begin.
Even though he had used up most of his strength, he was still a Third Rank Apprentice.
Once he exploded out, no one would dare to ignore him.
This was something that Chen Heng wanted to see.
After a long time, sensing the movements behind him, Chen Heng inwardly shook his head.
The black-robed Apprentice wanted to attack him, but he had found the wrong person.
Back when the black-robed Apprentice had invited him, he had already anticipated this scene.
He had long been prepared for this moment.
The other party wanted to make a move against him and use him as a shield, but they were thinking too much.
This was perfect for Chen Heng to use.
"I have to leave quickly …"
Sensing the magic power aura behind him, Chen Heng muttered to himself.
After all, they were in the sea, the home ground of the Merfolk.
The black-robed Apprentice might be able to hold on for now, but he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Perhaps after a period of time, he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer and would be captured by the Sea Race.
At that time, the Oceanic Race would chase after him.
While the other party was not paying attention to him, he had to leave this place as soon as possible. This was his only chance of survival.
Fortunately, because the black-robed Apprentice's movements were too loud, the Merfolk chasing after him were all drawn over.
As for the rest of the Sea Race, they weren't very strong, and their numbers were much smaller than before.
They did not attack, but followed far behind. From the looks of it, they had the intention of tailing.
Chen Heng did not pay any attention to them.
He silently moved his arms and dashed forward.
Soon, the land in front of Chen Heng came closer and closer.
It seemed that he was quite close.
"Soon … soon …"
As this thought flashed through his mind, he forcefully endured the exhaustion that constantly emerged from his body and madly rushed forward.
A deep sense of exhaustion poured into his body, spreading throughout his entire body.
After running for such a long time, even with his Third Rank Apprentice's body, he felt quite tired.
An intense sense of exhaustion covered his body, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
However, he could endure it for now.
Ahead, the island gradually came closer and became clearer in Chen Heng's vision.
However, for some reason, even though he was getting close to the island, he felt a strange feeling.
Within Chen Heng's body, the violet Fortune Mark started to shine as if it had sensed something.
An unusual feeling appeared in Chen Heng's body, making him feel quite uncomfortable.
"This feeling …"
Sensing that unique feeling, Chen Heng instinctively frowned. He wanted to find the source of that feeling, but he could not find anything.
If it was any other time, he could have taken his time to search for it, and then use it to calculate the results.
However, he did not even have time to run for his life, so where would he find the time to make calculations?
'Let it be!'
As Chen Heng thought to himself, he exerted all of his strength and madly rushed forwards.
Time gradually passed.
Ahead, the island gradually came closer.
Soon, Chen Heng would be able to reach land.
Behind him, the black-robed Apprentice was still fighting with the Merfolk.
His power was incredibly great, and he exploded out with it, tying down the Merfolk, making it so that they could not spare any attention to chase after Chen Heng.
Under such circumstances, Chen Heng's movements were incredibly easy.
However, as Chen Heng got closer and closer, that strange feeling became more and more clear.
That unique feeling covered Chen Heng's entire body, causing his body to tense up.
Through the Fortune Mark, a strange feeling appeared in Chen Heng's heart, making him feel that something special was about to happen.
Even though he thought to himself, he did not stop and instead sped up as he madly rushed forwards.
Time gradually passed.
At that moment, the world around him seemed to go through some sort of change.
A formless storm was gathering towards where Chen Heng was.
A massive explosion sounded out as boundless light covered the area.
Spatial ripples spread out in all directions, shaking many regions.
Within his mental senses, there seemed to be some sort of shadow coming from behind him, wanting to cover his entire body.
Sensing this feeling, Chen Heng instinctively turned and looked over.
There, a massive storm was sweeping over.
Wild winds wreaked havoc and torrential rain poured down. An indescribable power was currently enveloping the area, and at this moment, all of it pressed down towards this region.
Coincidentally, Chen Heng was right in front of this storm and would soon be caught up in it.
"Crap!"
Chen Heng did not have much time to think before he lost consciousness.
The massive storm swept through everything, washing away everything in front of him.
Whether it was the seawater or the island, everything seemed to have been swept away, looking incredibly strange and disorderly.
Only after a long time did this storm come to an end.
After the storm died down, Merfolk came out of the water, swimming around as if they were searching for something.
Evidently, they were searching for Chen Heng's corpse.
A Third Rank Apprentice's corpse was a top-notch treasure to the Merfolk, and it could provide them with precious power, allowing their bloodline to go through changes and obtain new power.
As such, they naturally wanted to find Chen Heng's corpse and bring it back.
However, what was strange was that no matter how they searched, they could not find Chen Heng's corpse.
It was as if his corpse had disappeared.
This was incredibly strange.
The search lasted for a very long time. After a few days, under the unwilling gazes of the Sea Tribe Shamans, they finally left this region of the sea and left this region.
At the place where they had attacked, the ship that Chen Heng had been on lay there in ruins, looking quite unique.
.....
Chen Heng's consciousness became hazy.
The instant that the storm hit him, he realized that the Fortune Mark had predicted that something unexpected had happened.
In the face of the power of the storm, he was unable to resist. He immediately lost consciousness and was forced to leave the place where he was previously.
In front of him, light reappeared.
Weak mental ripples once again sounded out, as if someone who had been asleep for a long time had woken up.
In the distance, faint sobbing sounds continuously sounded out by Chen Heng's ears. At the same time, there were curses and other voices.
Those voices spoke a language that Chen Heng felt was quite unfamiliar with, and he could not understand what they were saying.
Of course, even though he could not understand, the emotions contained within the voices were incredibly clear.
Chen Heng could sense the despair contained within those sobs, as well as all sorts of other negative emotions.
To him, this was something that he was incredibly familiar with.
In Griffin's castle, he had felt too many of these emotions, and they were not unfamiliar to him at all.
As this familiar feeling washed over him, Chen Heng's consciousness gradually returned.
As such, he opened his eyes and looked into the distance.
Not far away, a weak spiritual wave was slowly spreading over. It was filled with a feeling of despair, fear, and uneasiness. All sorts of negative emotions were mixed with a complex feeling.
Amidst all these negative emotions, there was also a sense of relief and a trace of hope.
Hope?
"There … is someone in danger?"
Sensing the mental ripples in the distance, Chen Heng instinctively thought to himself, "Is someone calling for help?"
Normally, Chen Heng would weigh the pros and cons, and after confirming that there were no problems, he would consider going.
However, right now, his consciousness was incredibly low, and he was not very clear-headed.
As such, he did not think too much and walked over.
In front of him was a dense forest, and there were many thick trees around him. There were also the cries of insects, which were incredibly loud.
Instinctively, Chen Heng walked to the front.
His vision gradually recovered.
The scene in front of him was revealed.
There were tall monsters standing there.
They looked like humanoid monsters, and they were incredibly tall. Each of them was close to two meters tall and had scales on their bodies. Their heads were similar to the Merfolk that Chen Heng had seen before, and they looked incredibly savage.
In front of these monsters were corpses.
These corpses were people, but they had already been killed.
The monsters grabbed the corpses and gnawed on them.
Most of them started from the arms, and there was a tall female monster that had grabbed an old man's leg and was gnawing on it.
She quickly finished gnawing on a leg.
As such, she tore off the leg and threw it away before grabbing the other leg and preparing to gnaw on it.
In front of the corpse, there was a little girl sitting there.
She was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and her body was dyed red by the blood of the corpses. Looking at this gory scene, she seemed to be completely dumbfounded.
Seeing that she did not resist or run, the monsters did not immediately kill her.
Perhaps to these man-eating monsters, living things were more delicious than dead things?
Chen Heng had suddenly arrived here, but he was not affected by these monsters.
The gory scene stimulated his mind.
Chen Heng's consciousness gradually returned.
His gaze became sharp as his right hand slowly lowered and rested on his waist, preparing to draw his sword.
In front of them, a monster let out a roar.
He pushed away the half-eaten corpse in front of him and growled in a low voice. His gaze fell on the girl in front of him.
Being stared at by that bloodthirsty gaze, the little girl's body trembled.
Terror, unease … all sorts of emotions continuously flashed through her mind.
"Is it my turn?"
In front of her, the tall man-eating monster walked over step by step.
Seeing the monster's large body come closer, the little girl did not move, and her body instinctively trembled as she silently closed her eyes.
Not too far away, the sound of footsteps could be heard, attracting the monster's attention.
Hearing the footsteps behind it, the monster stopped what it was doing and looked over.
The little girl did the same.
She looked in that direction and saw a young man slowly walking over.
The young man's robes were very grand and seemed to be quite valuable. However, they were tattered and looked quite shabby.
It could be seen that this young man had experienced something before, as there were many wounds on his body.
He slowly walked over from the distance and came closer.
Seeing this, the little girl felt quite surprised and could not bear to see this.
The monster excitedly got up.
They did not think too much and rushed at Chen Heng, seeming quite excited.
It was just that they left as quickly as they had come.
A silver sword appeared in Chen Heng's hand, following which the sky was filled with sword light.
The longsword slashed down, but the monsters seemed to be stunned and did not react at all.
Under the effect of inertia, their bodies instinctively rushed forwards and were cut down by Chen Heng.
Crimson blood splattered everywhere.
Mental intimidation!
The instant Chen Heng drew his sword, he had instinctively used the Mental Deterrence magic.
Facts had proven that mental deterrence was very useful against these monsters with thick skin and thick flesh, but their mental state was not very good.
In just a few moments, he had subdued them and killed them one by one.
The entire process was quite quick, and the battle ended in less than half a minute.
The girl stared at this scene in a daze, watching as the monster that had killed the others was easily killed by Chen Heng. The entire process had been so easy.
"So … powerful …"
"Are you alright …"
After dealing with the man-eating monsters, Chen Heng slowly walked over to the little girl.
He looked at the little girl sitting in front of him and asked softly, wanting to ask about this place.
From just then until now, he had completely woken up and understood some things.
This place definitely could not be that island from before.
He had seen that island before, and it was just a very small island. It was unlikely that there were humans on it, much less these man-eating monsters.
For some reason, after going through that storm, he had come to this unfamiliar place.
After coming here, the most important thing for Chen Heng was to understand the situation in this place.
Only by knowing the situation here would he be able to determine where he was.
In front of him, the little girl stared at Chen Heng and did not seem to have any intention of answering his question.
She seemed to be in a daze.
Looking at her like this, Chen Heng inwardly frowned, but he quickly came to his senses.
"Is there a language barrier?"
Chen Heng thought to himself.
Even though he had never heard the people here speak, he seemed to have heard some people talking while he was in a daze.
The language here was different from the languages that Chen Heng had heard in the past; they were not from the same system.
Because of this, the little girl naturally did not understand what he was saying.
"It's fine if you don't understand."
Chen Heng inwardly shook his head and stretched out his hand.
Looking at Chen Heng's outstretched hand, the little girl felt quite confused. However, after looking at Chen Heng, she tentatively stretched out her hand and placed it on Chen Heng's hand.
Following this, she was pulled up by Chen Heng and brought into his embrace.
"There are no other survivors …"
After picking up the little girl and looking at the corpses around him, Chen Heng inwardly frowned before turning and leaving.
Because of the language barrier, Chen Heng was unable to ask anything.
Moreover, looking at the little girl, it did not seem like she knew much.
If Chen Heng did not take her away, she would most likely die here soon.
As such, he took the little girl with him and left.
Chen Heng was not familiar with this region and did not have a guide.
However, he quickly found a river.
Following the river, he moved forward and finally found some traces of people.
Of course, during this process, he found some strange things.
Within this forest, there were many special monsters.
Some of these monsters were similar to the ones from before; they had humanoid shapes and savage faces, and some looked like mutated beasts.
However, the same thing was that these things were very aggressive.
Even an ordinary rat would take the initiative to attack Chen Heng after going through some transformations, completely ignoring the massive difference in size.
This kind of behavior was obviously not what a normal beast should have.
"Just what is going on here?"
As Chen Heng advanced and sensed the beasts around him, he could not help but frown.
