"It's still following me!" Angor cursed in his mind. The snake was too stubborn.
Could it be that Toby dug out the snake's nest?
Angor glanced at Toby, who was still inside his pocket. Toby seemed to know that it was safe now, so it quickly fell into a deep slumber.
Angor checked Toby's condition before running away. There were no external injuries. Perhaps Toby was still sleeping because it was exhausted.
Angor looked away. The snake was about to come out of the hole, so he had no choice but to run again.
The complicated terrain of the underground river made it difficult for Angor to use his full strength. But now that he was outside and the Overwatch Base was not far away, he was confident that he could escape.
With that in mind, Angor covered himself in a gray aura and dashed into the snow without hesitation.
At the same time, the snake's enormous body also came out of the ground.
It was immediately covered by a layer of white mist and floated in the air. It looked at the direction where Angor disappeared with a pair of cold eyes and dashed away like a bolt of white lightning.
Angor also looked back. He had to admit that the giant snake looked quite intimidating as it dashed through the clouds. Moreover, under the cover of the clouds and mist, his already terrifying body appeared even more massive.
Angor didn't mind the snake chasing him.
When Angor looked back, he saw the trolls and sea anemone crabs that were as big as the trolls were also coming out of the ground.
"Just how annoying am I?" Angor was speechless.
The only thing he could do now was to run.
Luckily, the Overwatch Base was nearby. When it wasn't snowing, Angor could even see Shadow Hill from the watchtower of the Overwatch Base. As Angor ran toward the base, the guards of the Moonfrost Union also noticed him and quickly approached him.
However, there was someone else who was faster than them.
A black shadow flashed by. While the Moon Frost Guards were confused, they smelled the Moon Corona Incense in the air.
It was at this moment that he heard a voice speaking to him.
"It's only been three hours. What are you up to now?" Angor's eyes lit up when he heard the familiar, hoarse voice of a man.
In the next second, a man in a black gentleman's suit showed up in front of Angor.
"Professor!" Angor stopped walking. "Thank goodness we're saved!"
It was Sunders. He was having a headache about the Dream Wilderness in his study when he heard the roar of a monster not far away before he finished dealing with the matter here.
He looked up and saw something.
Then, in the next moment, his gaze froze.
"That little bastard …" Sunders cursed in his mind. His lips twitched a little, but he still walked out of his study and flew toward Angor.
Sunders' arrival helped Angor's mind.
Sunders glanced at the body in Angor's hand. Judging from the pale lips of the body, Angor's soul must have been inside the body for a long time.
"Go back to your body. I'll take care of this." Angor was overjoyed. But his joy didn't last long because Sunders added, "If you want to get yourself killed, you better stay away from me."
Angor's soul returned to his body, and he felt exhausted. It took him quite a while to recover.
When he regained his senses, he saw that Sunders was already fighting the giant snake.
The guards of the Moonfrost Union arrived as well. When they saw Sunders fighting the snake, they all looked a little disappointed.
This was a wizard-level magical creature, and it wasn't even a poor demon.
Once he killed this monster, he would be able to earn at least six figures. But since Sunders was already fighting, they didn't want to share the loot.
However, their regret didn't last long. Clouds of dust suddenly rose from the snow hill in the distance.
Angor looked closer and saw two more monsters.
These two magical creatures might not be as powerful as the giant snake, but they were both beginner Adepts. Their value wasn't low either!
"Did you lure those two out as well?" Sunders noticed what was happening behind him while he was fighting the snake.
Angor nodded awkwardly. "Not really. I didn't do anything to them. I just walked past them and they caught up with me."
Sunders only gave Angor a cold stare in response. The guards also looked at Angor in confusion.
The Moonfrost Guards had a general idea of what happened. When they learned that Angor was the one who lured the three monsters out, they couldn't help but admire him.
A mere apprentice managed to lure three wizard-level monsters away and escape from their pursuit. This was no easy feat.
They would not fare any better than Angor if they were in Angor's shoes. More importantly, Angor didn't have any injuries on him. It looked like he just went for a stroll.
"As expected of Mister Phantom's disciple." The guards couldn't help but think to themselves.
The crab and the troll also appeared in their sight. The captain of the guards called out, "Mister Phantom and … Mister Padt, can we take care of these two monsters?"
Angor didn't expect the guards to ask him for help. Of course, he nodded.
Since Sunders didn't intend to fight over the two monsters, the guards quickly sharpened their weapons and aimed at the two poor monsters who didn't sense the danger yet.
About an hour later, Sunders successfully killed the snake.
On the other side, the dozen or so Magi of the guards were still dealing with the trolls and sea anemone crabs. Moreover, the battle here had attracted the attention of even more Magi in the fortress. More and more people were coming over, and there were even Magi who took the initiative to join the clean-up team just to get a share of the loot.
It was rare for Angor to see such a grand battle, so he was fascinated by it.
Moreover, he finally understood that official Magi were nothing compared to magical creatures of the same grade. The troll and the crab were in a bad condition, but they only suffered minor injuries. Several of the guards, on the other hand, were already injured. One of them was seriously injured.
Therefore, the guards had to ask more wizards to join the clean-up team. Even if they managed to kill the monsters, the loot wouldn't be much.
As a result, Sunders, who killed the serpent alone and obtained the corpse of a wizard-level monster, gained the most benefits.
While Angor was enjoying the show, Sunders put the snake's body into his gravity garden and flew back to Angor. "Come back to the stronghold with me. I want to know what you did."
More and more people were gathering around the stronghold. Sunders wanted Angor to go back so that he wouldn't be questioned. After all, many people noticed the anomaly in the stronghold, and many of them knew that Angor was the culprit.
Angor had no choice but to follow Sunders back to the stronghold with his tail tucked between his legs.
As soon as he entered the fortress, he noticed that many people were giving him meaningful looks. Many of them wanted to ask something, but since Sunders was right next to them, no one dared to step forward and ask.
Those were three wizard-level monsters, after all.
Speaking of which, although there were quite a few adept-level magical creatures in the Abyss, there weren't many that could be dealt with by them, let alone the demons that were lacking in profit.
It was as if Angor had just raided a monster's nest and lured three of them out. And it seemed they came from somewhere near the stronghold.
What did he do? How did he do it? That was the question everyone was wondering.
"Tell me. What did you do in less than three hours?" Sunders looked at Angor with an expressionless face.
Angor sensed Sunders' glare and felt a little awkward.
He hesitated for a moment and pointed at Toby who was sleeping comfortably. "Actually, I didn't do anything. I just went to look for it."
Angor told Sunders about his experience with a helpless look.
He had never thought that he would provoke those three magical creatures just because he wanted to save Toby.
Sunders didn't know what to say. Angor really didn't do anything out of line. Everything was just a coincidence.
Also, Sunders remembered that Shadow Cave was cleared out before, and no wizard-level monsters were found. Many apprentices went into Shadow Cave later, and the stronghold didn't care about them.
But Angor ran into wizard-level monsters the moment he entered Shadow Cave. And three of them at once?!
If Sunders didn't know that Angor never stepped into Fringe Forest, he would think that Angor was infected by the aura of the Sentinel of Misfortune. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so unlucky.
Especially the serpent Sunders just fought. It was so powerful that the guards from Moonfrost Union would never be able to take it down.
That mind-controlling aura could almost become a domain if it was further improved.
Once that happened, even Sunders would have to be careful when dealing with it.
If he didn't have the sequence of gravity, he would have turned the monster into a corpse already.
Sunders sighed. Angor was not to be blamed for this. He could only say that it was his fate.
"I reckon that the three monsters in the Shadow Cave swam here from the underground river. Normally, wizard-level monsters wouldn't move their territories randomly. I don't know what happened, but they all moved together. "
