Author's Note: Hehe, you've paid back all the chapters you owe this month.
Soon, Julian and a few other disciples appeared nearby. Seeing Irene's body on the ground, the disciples shuddered. One of them hurriedly yelled:
"He must not have gone far. Let's go!"
The few of them scrambled into the hole and climbed up, leaving behind Julian with an ugly face.
"Very good!"
Julian squeezed out a voice that was as cold as the winter wind. He was so angry that he started to laugh. The contempt in his eyes disappeared. He looked up at the hole and waved his sleeve. A layer of black dots the size of soybeans gushed out from the bottom of his feet and covered the body on the ground. A series of chewing sounds could be heard.
"Teacher loves you the most. Don't worry, he'll come to accompany you soon."
He disappeared in a flash, and the body on the ground was also gone. Only the dark red blood on the ground proved that someone had died here.
In the dense forest, Lin Xiao was running as fast as he could. Occasionally, he would run through the monsters with all his might.
His 10 points of dexterity gave him super fast speed. Most of the monsters had already run past him before they could react. The few that did react could not catch up with him.
He no longer hid his strength. His speed was comparable to an official wizard who walked the bloodline path. He rampaged through the forest and ran for dozens of miles in one breath.
However, Lin Xiao did not dare to be careless. He took a short rest and continued running. He did not know if the enemy had caught up with him. Regardless, he could not stop. However, his speed was not as fast as when he was running for his life.
After running for hundreds of miles in one breath, Abel felt that he had used up half of his stamina. If he kept running, it would seriously affect his fighting ability. He looked up and saw a small mountain in front of him. He decided to take a rest there.
As he walked, he looked at himself. He had already taken off his armor and thrown it away. His clothes were riddled with cuts from monsters and tree branches. However, there were no injuries on his body. His 10 + Vitality gave him a strong body. Normal attacks couldn't even scratch his skin.
When he was about 100 meters away from the small mountain, Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and looked in a certain direction with a vigilant face.
The dense forest was quiet. Even the common sound of insects could not be heard. Only the slight rustling of leaves could be heard.
Something was very wrong!
Lin Xiao quickly pulled out his sword and moved away from his previous position. A formless Qi force blasted into the ground, creating a half-meter wide and 30-40 centimeters deep crater.
"What is it?"
Just now, he seemed to have seen something pass by, but it was too fast for him to see clearly.
Just as he was looking around with narrowed eyes, he suddenly raised his head and saw Julian standing on a branch of a big tree in front of him. Julian was looking down at him and pointing his right hand at him like a gun.
Lin Xiao subconsciously wanted to leave the place, but as soon as he moved, an invisible force field hit him. Before he could do anything, he was blasted a few meters away by the huge force and crashed heavily into a big tree. With a muffled sound, a large number of yellow leaves fell down.
"What kind of attack is this?"
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan quickly turned around and circled behind the tree.
Boom!
The tree, which was as thick as an ordinary person's waist, was smashed into pieces by the invisible force field. Countless pieces of debris flew toward him, and the tree directly fell down.
"F * ck!"
He was too strong. There was no way he could beat him.
Although his body was comparable to a normal Bloodline Wizard, he was not a real wizard. His power of the Will had not transformed, and he did not have any powerful magic devices or spells. How could he beat an official wizard who had a Crystallized power of the Will?
Without saying anything, he turned around and ran.
Julian did not chase after him. Instead, he reached out his hand and touched the air. If Lin Xiao was still there, he would have realized that it was a strange snake that was thicker than a person and had crystal-like scales.
As Julian pointed his finger, the strange snake wrapped around the tree quickly jumped down. Its translucent body quickly turned transparent and disappeared.
He stomped his feet again, and countless black dots the size of soybeans slid out from his pants and quickly spread down the tree.
There seemed to be a space bag in his trousers. Endless black dots gushed out, covering an area of more than a hundred square meters. Their speed was faster than a normal person's running speed. When the black insects gushed out, the insects in the forest quickly fled in all directions, as if they had seen some terrifying natural enemy.
"I can't go on like this. I'm going to die."
Lin Xiao thought as he ran. Suddenly, he jumped forward and was hit by a huge force in midair. He flew more than 20 meters out like a cannonball and fell heavily into the forest. He crashed into the arms of a four-meter-long ferocious beast with black fur and well-developed muscles that was resting under a tree.
Their eyes met for less than a second. A man and a beast jumped up and ran for their lives.
A few steps away, they parted to the left and right at the same time. Then, Lin Xiao heard a scream that sounded like a dog's foot being stepped on. The sound quickly stopped.
Three minutes later, Lin Xiao stepped on a rock and was about to jump to another protruding rock not far away. However, the rock was smashed away by a huge force. He stepped on air and his body tilted. In midair, a cold body wrapped around him. He slapped on the cold snake's body and bounced away. In the next second, he was hit by a mountain and flew away. He spat out a mouthful of blood, revealing the huge crystal snake body.
"Crystal King Snake!"
Lin Xiao's heart sank. This was a powerful ferocious beast that was equivalent to a rank 2 official Magus. Its crystal scales were extremely strong, and it had the ability to hide and control crystal force fields. Regular rank 2 Magi might not be able to defeat it.
A rank 1 Crystal Phase Magus and a Crystal King Snake. This was too much of a bully.
Lin Xiao couldn't take it anymore. He clenched his teeth and turned around to run.
He could only run. There was no other way.
He couldn't defeat it and couldn't use cheats. Although there were many things stored in the Tesseract, he couldn't take them out.
He had tried a long time ago. It wasn't that he couldn't use them, but that he couldn't take out anything that wasn't allowed. If not, he would have fought with his life on the line.
It could be seen that this Divine Child of an unknown race called Julian hadn't made his move yet. He was still toying with him like a cat toying with a mouse. Otherwise, with Julian's strength and the Crystal King Snake, he could have easily killed him long ago.
What happened next was just as he expected. The Crystal King Snake kept attacking him, but every time it attacked, he would be in a difficult situation. Occasionally, he would be injured, but it wouldn't be fatal. It was obviously toying with him.
Lin Xiao clenched his teeth and persevered. After confirming that the other party wouldn't kill him immediately, he recalled the map and rushed in a certain direction.
Other than the ruins of the underground palace, the map also marked a few places that were considered forbidden to acolytes. He was now heading towards the nearest forbidden area — the Uncanny Valley.
The name was very common, but it was easy to understand. A group of … indescribable strange monsters lived in the valley.
After more than ten minutes, Lin Xiao appeared in front of the Uncanny Valley. However, Julian appeared before him at the entrance of the valley. He stood on top of a sharp rock that was more than ten meters tall with his arms crossed. He looked at Lin Xiao with a mocking smile and said:
"I guessed that you would use this to get rid of me. Sure enough, I was right."
He turned around and looked at the misty Uncanny Valley and said:
"If you think that you can get away with this, I can only say that you're too naive. Although the Uncanny Valley is strange and dangerous, my experience in the valley many years ago has proven that this place is not enough to threaten me.
"Perhaps you don't know what's in the Uncanny Valley. Let me introduce it to you. There are some strange creatures that can't be described with common sense. They have many strange abilities that defy common sense. Death is the best outcome if you enter the valley. The only thing I'm afraid of is that you'll be tortured forever."
He smiled eerily and suddenly jumped onto a tree on the other side to make way. He extended his hand and gestured:
"Don't say that I didn't give you hope. I can let you in, but I definitely won't attack you."
Lin Xiao couldn't help but gulp. Julian's words and actions made him feel a little guilty.
However, he had no choice now. He would die if he stayed, and he would also die if he went in. He might even suffer a fate worse than death. His choice was …
He lifted his feet and walked towards the entrance of the valley.
Julian maintained his extended hand and looked at him expressionlessly. His eyes moved as he walked.
When Lin Xiao reached the entrance of the valley, the two of them looked at each other for a second. Suddenly, Lin Xiao rushed into the valley.
"Bam!"
An invisible force field appeared and bounced him away.
"Hahaha …"
Julian held his forehead and laughed as if he had gone mad.
Lin Xiao's heart sank. He stretched out his hand in front of him and felt an invisible force field blocking his path forward.
"Didn't anyone tell you that the Uncanny Valley is a seal? If you want to go in, you have to break the seal first. "
Julian was in a very good mood. He was even in the mood to explain to him:
"There's a passage to a dangerous world in the Uncanny Valley. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Shaman King set up a seal here to prevent the monsters inside from coming out. The seal will be strengthened every thousand years. Although the seal hasn't been strengthened for more than two thousand years, the remaining seal isn't something a little thing like you can open."
Lin Xiao was speechless. Julian continued:
"Are you in despair? That's right. Despair to your heart's content. "
He extended his five fingers and clenched them. His face gradually turned cold and murderous.
"You killed my favorite disciple. In return, I'll eat you up inch by inch and eventually merge with me."
"I'll give you fifteen minutes to run for your life. After fifteen minutes, I'll come back for your life!"
After saying that, he looked at Lin Xiao with a mocking gaze. However, he didn't see him running for his life like he had imagined. Instead, he saw him staring at him coldly with no fluctuation in his eyes.
"Why don't you run?"
"I don't believe you."
During their escape, he felt that Julian seemed to be a little neurotic. He was fickle and full of lies. He didn't dare to believe what he said.
If he really believed what he said and ran for his life, he wouldn't have waited for fifteen minutes.
He was going to die anyway. Why should he be fooled?
His uncooperative words made Julian furious. He waved his hand and a large group of black shadows surged out from behind Lin Xiao. Countless black beetles gathered to form a humanoid monster more than ten meters tall. It roared at him.
"Then go to hell!"
