The shockwave from the explosion of the blue-black crystal ball gradually dissipated. More than twenty Evil Spirit Spiders that had survived the explosion spontaneously gathered around their king, the Blood Stripe Evil Spirit Spider. The Blood Stripe Evil Spirit Spider that had lost two of its legs in the explosion stared at the initiator of all this, Connor Ferguson with its tiny black eyes.
Sensing the hatred and resentment in the eyes of this magic beast with the strength of an official wizard, even though Connor was mentally prepared before he attacked, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart when he really faced it now.
Connor and the Blood Stripe Evil Spirit Spider stared at each other for more than 10 seconds. When Connor faintly sensed that the Blood Stripe Evil Spirit Spider was going to launch a surprise attack on him, he sighed in his heart. When he was about to abandon Dezerby and the others and run away, the sun in the sky completely got rid of the cover of the clouds and showed its light to the earth.
The group of Evil Spirit Spiders, including the Blood-Patterned Evil Spirit Spiders, who lived underground all year round and never saw the light of day, were clearly not used to the sunlight. One could tell with the naked eye that they were beginning to become restless.
Seeing this, Connor Ferguson, who was about to run away a second ago, suddenly became wild with joy. He knew that as soon as the sun came out, he would pass today's test!
Compared to Connor's wild joy, the tiny black eyes of the Blood-Patterned Evil Spirit Spider flashed with a very human-like look of dejection after the sun had completely risen. It glared fiercely at Connor, then let out a sharp shriek again.
"Rub, rub, rub …"
After the screeching, the Blood Stripe Evil Spirit Spider turned around and crawled back to the hole it had drilled out from. The group of ordinary Evil Spirit Spiders behind it all dragged their dead companions' bodies and followed the Blood Stripe Evil Spirit Spider back to their holes.
A minute later, as the last Evil Spirit Spider disappeared into the seemingly ordinary hole, Connor could no longer see any Evil Spirit Spiders in his sight. Only the blood all over the ground and the traces of the battle could prove what had just happened here.
Even so, Connor still didn't let his guard down. He had been using his mind power to silently monitor the group of Evil Spirit Spiders' movements underground. Two to three minutes later, he found that the group of Evil Spirit Spiders had already gone very deep into the ground where his mind power couldn't sense them. Connor finally let out a sigh of relief and turned his attention to Dezerby and the group of arbitrators from the Church of the Storm.
With the explosion of the crystal ball just now, the group of Evil Spirit Spiders' mind power naturally couldn't continue. Therefore, Dezerby, who was originally an arrow at the end of its flight and was about to faint on the ground, was very lucky to have survived. As for the group of arbitrators, they weren't as lucky as Dezerby. They were still lying on the ground and didn't wake up at all.
"There are still two hours before it gets dark, so we have to leave this place in an hour. Otherwise, the group of Evil Spirit Spiders will very likely come back again!" Connor said to Dezerby, who was taking the potion to recover in a deep voice.
After that, Connor glanced at the group of arbitrators who had fainted on the ground. He frowned slightly and added, "On the list I gave you, there are two things, Thomas Potion and Blue Essence Fruit. Later, mash the Blue Essence Fruit into a paste and mix it into the Thomas Potion in a 1: 3 ratio. Then, give each of them a little. This will effectively relieve their mental trauma!"
"I'll be back in about fifty minutes. I hope that you and your men will be ready to leave by then!"
After instructing Dezerby, Connor didn't waste any more words with Dezerby. He turned around and walked towards the forest at the side.
Seeing that Connor was about to leave, Dezerby immediately asked, "Connor Ferguson, where are you going?"
Hearing Dezerby's question, Connor didn't pay any attention to it and continued walking towards his destination. Looking at Connor's back gradually getting further away, a complicated look appeared in Dezerby's eyes.
Based on the situation just now, there was no doubt that if it wasn't for Connor Ferguson's final burst of power, he and the arbitrators under him would definitely have died here. From this point of view, Connor Ferguson was his and his men's savior.
Unfortunately, one's position determined one's head. Even though Dezerby was grateful to Connor from the bottom of his heart, as a priest of the Church of the Storm, he only had a deep fear of Connor, a Dark Magus, possessing such powerful strength and terrifying alchemy items like the crystal ball just now that could seriously injure or even kill an official Magus.
At this moment, Connor Ferguson, who had no idea what was going on in Dezerby's mind, was searching for something in the forest.
Although the news he got from Martina made Connor aware that the ruins that the Church of the Storm and Firo were searching for might be related to the secret of Reyes' rise to power, which might be in the Navas Forest, Connor still brought Dezerby to the Sierra de Campania, which was 800 kilometers away from the Navas Forest. His purpose was to delay as much time as possible so that Firo would have more time to prepare.
In order to hide his true purpose, Connor also made a list of possible locations of the ruins and gave it to Dezerby. Of course, the locations on the list were all fabricated by Connor based on some rumors he heard in Flosinone. As for the ruins of Anduin Genoa in the Navas Forest, Connor did not even include it in the list.
Before encountering those Evil Spirit Spiders, Connor knew that this was not the place he was looking for and even used a magic circle to scan the ground. However, what surprised Connor was that the result of the scan seemed to be an ancient building that was 300 to 500 years old …
Although he did not know what this ancient building was, in order to prevent Dezerby from making any wrong judgments and to prevent any uncontrollable accidents from happening, Connor still told Dezerby that he did not find anything even though he had discovered this ancient building.
