The reason why Connor was willing to take the blame for Dezerby wasn't because of Dezerby's offer. He was already prepared for the Church of the Storm to make a move on him, so naturally, he wasn't afraid. What Dezerby's secret mission? Connor did it all for himself!
If Dezerby and Milik didn't separate, they would be two official Magi. No matter what Connor did, it wouldn't be convenient for him to do anything. However, once the two of them were separated, Connor would undoubtedly have more freedom to carry out his next move. This was the main reason why Connor was willing to help Dezerby. If not, Connor wouldn't be so foolish as to risk offending Hummel, the Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, to take the blame for Dezerby!
Connor, who was leading the way, looked at the surroundings with a strange expression. At the same time, Dezerby seemed to have recovered from the excitement of getting rid of Milik. When he saw the path Connor was taking, he seemed to have realized something and asked, "Connor, did you discover the location of the ruins?"
Connor, who already had a plan in mind, wasn't surprised by Dezerby's question. He naturally pointed at a small mountain in the distance and said, "There seems to be something there. Let's go take a look!"
Dezerby looked in the direction Connor pointed at and sized up the small mountain. He then used his spiritual force to scan the surroundings. After confirming that there weren't any dangers, he nodded at Connor and said, "Since you suspect that it's there, let's go take a look!"
After saying that, Dezerby, who was in a good mood, took the lead and overtook Connor to walk at the front of the group.
Seeing that Dezerby didn't discover anything strange, Connor felt relieved. He followed behind Dezerby and headed towards the small mountain.
Ten minutes later, Connor and Dezerby arrived at a small forest about a kilometer away from the small mountain. At this moment, strange sounds came from the forest.
"Shasha, shasha, shasha, shasha, shasha …"
Following the strange sounds, Connor and Dezerby's expressions changed. They immediately released their spiritual force to scan the forest.
"Not good, blue shadow ants are ahead!"
As a Spirit attribute Magus, Connor had a powerful Spirit Force. After a few seconds of sensing, he immediately discovered the identity of the owner of these strange 'sha sha sha' sounds. He immediately opened his mouth to warn everyone in the group.
Although Dezerby's spiritual force was slightly weaker than Connor's, it wasn't too weak. After Connor's warning, he also discovered an army of ants with specks of blue light gathering not far away.
These peculiar ants were only slightly larger than normal ants and had specks of blue light on their bodies. They were a type of magical beast known as blue shadow ants. These magical beasts were the classic example of magical beasts that lived in groups. Although they were called magical beasts, their individual attack power wasn't even comparable to ferocious magical beasts. However, once they appeared, it wasn't just a few, but tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. With so many blue shadow ants swarming towards them, even a rank 2 Sorcerer would have to retreat, let alone a rank 1 Sorcerer.
Connor, Dezerby, and the rest had encountered a family of Black-Blooded Fox Bears yesterday. Although they were unlucky, as long as they ran fast enough, they would still be safe. However, if they encountered blue shadow ants, Connor, Dezerby, and the five Church Arbiters would probably be dead meat. Fortunately, the group of blue shadow ants was still gathering and hadn't immediately attacked Connor, Dezerby, and the rest.
Seeing this, the crafty Dezerby thought of the habits of the blue shadow ants and immediately had an idea. Without hesitation, he took out a runic crystal bottle with a steel ring on it from his space ring and threw it at Connor's back.
After doing this, Dezerby didn't care whether the runic crystal bottle hit Connor or not. He immediately cast a spell and chanted an incantation, conjuring a gust of wind that enveloped him and the five Arbiters of the Church of the Storm. With the support of this light blue gust of wind, Dezerby and the five Arbiters' speed immediately increased by several times as they quickly retreated.
Connor was naturally shocked and angry at Dezerby's sudden attack. Although he didn't know what the white runic crystal bottle was, Connor definitely wouldn't let it get close to him. Therefore, when the runic crystal bottle was half a meter away from him, Connor moved his finger and the runic crystal bottle exploded in the air. The dark brown particles inside the crystal bottle floated in the air as a result.
Seeing the dark brown particles appear, Connor immediately understood what Dezerby was planning. But it was already too late. These dark brown particles had already contaminated Connor's body.
Although these dark brown particles didn't have any smell, the hundreds of thousands of Blue Shadow Ants gathered together not far away became agitated when they sensed the appearance of these dark brown particles. They quickly rushed towards Connor.
"Mr. Connor Ferguson, let's retreat in two directions. Don't worry, I'll take good care of your Ferguson Family!" While the Blue Shadow Ants were attacking Connor, Dezerby, who had already escaped far away with his subordinates under the effect of the gale, shouted at the top of his voice.
Although Dezerby's gale was powerful and had boosted the speed of Dezerby and the five Adjudicators from the Church of the Storm, Dezerby's face turned pale and his voice became hoarse. Obviously, even with Dezerby's cultivation, it was extremely difficult for him to conjure this gale. He wouldn't be able to sustain it for long …
"Dezerby, you son of a bitch! How dare you trick me!"
Although Dezerby spoke in a dignified manner, Connor didn't buy it at all. When he activated his black magic robe and fled, he cursed loudly and fiercely, "Don't you dare!
