From the outside, the tower looked like a sentry post, but for some reason, half of it had collapsed. Now, all that was left was a pile of broken walls. Wind could be seen everywhere, and it stood alone in the desert, giving off an extremely desolate feeling.
The wooden snake did not hesitate and crawled into the tower. It walked through the scattered bricks until it came to a half-broken staircase. The snake stopped, coiled up, and its pair of glass eyes began to flicker wildly.
Mr. Harvey's face revealed a look of surprise. He walked over and touched the lines on the stone staircase. "There used to be a magic trap here, but it has been dispelled." After that, he found another magic circle under the stone staircase. Its function seemed to be to hide something, but this magic circle was also damaged. The group soon found a pitch-black entrance in the pile of rubble.
"It seems that this should be a supply point, but I don't know if the nest of that thing is also below. Later, I'll go down and investigate the situation …"
"I think it's better for us to prepare for battle." Lolo used her longsword to pick up something from the ruins. It looked wrinkled, and no one had noticed it before. It was only when Lolo picked it up in the air that everyone realized it was a human face.
Someone had already recognized the face as belonging to a freshman thief named Jimmy. Even the terrified expression on his face was perfectly preserved. Finally, someone could not help but vomit.
Mr. Harvey's expression also changed. Without his reminder, everyone had already drawn their weapons and were ready for battle. This time, they had clearly found the real deal.
Mr. Harvey's expression was solemn. He released six buff spells in one breath. After that, he took a short breath and released a group invisibility spell. At the same time, he released a magic shield for the two thieves who were leading the charge.
After doing that, he took out a bottle of precious Mana Regeneration Potion from his backpack and poured it into his mouth without hesitation to replenish his mana. After that, he took a deep breath and said to the rest of the team, "Come on, no matter what's down there, let's end this nightmare together."
… …
Davis felt a little bored recently. It had been two days since he came to the inner city. In these two days, many teams had arrived. However, after the freshman competition was interrupted, everyone was a little idle. Barton did not allow them to go too far away from the camp. Some teams proposed to go for a walk in the inner city, but they were stopped without hesitation. So, the only thing they could do now was to gather together and play cards or something.
However, the tragic thing was that there were only a few decks of cards in the campsite. The freshmen competition wasn't some spring outing or outdoor party, but an official competition organized by the academy. Part of the purpose of the competition was to test the freshmen, and the vast majority of the freshmen would still take it seriously. Rather than putting a useless entertainment item in their bag, they might as well bring along a piece of bread. Who knows, it might even be able to save their lives at a critical moment.
So, more people like Davis had nothing to do, wandering around the camp from morning to night. Since he had found his original teammates, the thief tried to chat with the others in the team, but their attitude towards him was very cold. No matter what he said, they would just snort indifferently, treating him like a stranger.
Davis thought he had a good temper, but now he was also angry. Although he joined the team halfway, after a period of training and getting along with the others, he slowly became familiar with the others in the team. In the end, when they encountered a sandstorm, these four guys did not hesitate to leave him alone in the desert.
Davis was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, but there was no point in delving into it. He did not expect the others to show much guilt when they saw him, but at least they should not be colder than they were before. Was it his fault that he was left alone in the desert?
Davis sneered. After this incident, he finally saw the faces of his teammates. He swore in his heart that after the freshman competition ended, he would never have any dealings with these guys again. The thief could not be bothered to pretend to be friendly with them. At night, when he slept, he directly moved his bed to the side of the city wall, completely distancing himself from them.
In the middle of the night, Davis was awakened by the sound of footsteps. He faintly saw two figures walking into the depths of the inner city. One of them looked very much like the captain Ron. The thief was a little curious. Why were they sneaking out of the camp so late at night instead of sleeping?
Oh, could it be that they found something good and wanted to secretly take it while everyone was asleep? But the possibility of this happening was relatively small. Things found in the freshmen arena could not be taken out. Be it magic devices or props, they could only be used in the competition and would be taken back by the academy once the competition was over. Now that the competition had been interrupted, it was useless to find those things.
Unless the two of them were having an affair?
Thinking of this possibility, Davis suddenly became interested. He carefully recalled the figure beside Ron. Looking at the figure, it was indeed a girl. Could it be the girl named Lucy in the team? Previously, when they were training, the two seemed to have flirted with each other. Who would have thought that in just a few days, their relationship had developed to this point. Tsk tsk, it seemed that there would be a good show tonight.
Normally, Davis might have hesitated. After all, if the other party found out that they were in the same team, it would probably be very embarrassing. But now that he was a stranger to the rest of the team, he naturally had no such scruples.
The thief was still pretending to be asleep. After the two passed by, he got up from the ground and quietly followed behind them. Davis did not dare to get too close. Although he was very confident in his stealth, Ron was, after all, a Grade 1 Archer. His hearing was also very sharp, so thirty to forty meters was a relatively safe distance.
Fortunately, the buildings in the inner city were not too complicated, so the thief did not have to worry about losing them. Ron and the girl who looked like Lucy did not seem to have a clear direction. They seemed to just want to stay away from the camp, which seemed to prove Davis's previous conjecture.
Seeing the two of them flash into an alley, the thief hesitated for a moment. The distance was a little too close. If he followed them, there might be a risk of being discovered by the other party. But the curiosity in his heart finally overwhelmed his reason. Davis quietly approached the entrance of the alley, poked his head out, and saw an unforgettable scene under the moonlight.
