"Click!"
"Boom!"
Behind the dark clouds, the low thunder continued continuously, sweeping away the original silence of the hell world. And as time went by, the thunder not only did not get smaller, but became more dense, but the sound became louder and louder.
It was far away, and when it reached Zheng Qing's ears, it was already hazy and unclear.
But the young public-funded student's attention was not on those thunders at the moment.
He was looking sideways, looking at the fist-sized black cat on his shoulder in surprise.
Red pupils, short black hair, and a lazy temperament.
Apart from its body shape, it was exactly the same as the black cat singing with its tail raised a few miles away, and even its aura was the same - perhaps this was why it did not arouse the two young wizards' intuitive vigilance.
Noticed the dull look in the wizard's eyes.
The little black cat stopped licking its paws, raised its front paws in the air crookedly, and pointed forward: "Don't look at me, look at the road! Look forward... Do you want to fall into a ditch?!"
Zheng Qing swallowed, silently retracted his gaze, and turned part of his attention back to the road.
In the distance, in the center of the light shrouded by the "Little Star", the big black cat was still howling an unknown tune, with its tail raised, leading the way.
Farther away, a hunched old lich was stretching his neck, sniffing the bark of a dead old tree by the roadside. He didn't know whether he was coveting the dry fibers or judging the direction in which everyone was heading.
Jiang Yu pressed the jade pendant on her waist with one hand and held the Dharma book with the other. She glanced at the little black cat and smiled slightly: "We thought you were still leading the way... Is this a clone?"
"Incarnation!"
The black cat corrected the witch's wording, with a smug expression on his face that Zheng Qing was very familiar with: "But I am the real body, and the one in front is the incarnation..."
As it spoke, the little tail behind it swayed from side to side, and then up and down again.
In the distance, the big black cat's upright tail also made a similar movement, as if making a cross in the air.
The two young wizards secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"You don't look that stupid."
The black cat continued to comment in its slightly harsh tone, and suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Then do I look stupid? Exposing myself to the public, leading the way for you, and withstanding attacks that may appear at any time...
I'm not the old lich who's been restrained and whose brains are almost exhausted in the dark prison... I'm an employee officially registered with the 'relevant departments'!"
"Cannon fodder or something, one is enough."
"But," Zheng Qing interrupted the black cat and reminded carefully: "We still need it to be a guide."
The black cat rolled his eyes, his tone full of disdain: "I just praised you for being smart, and now you are stupid again... Do you still remember the light you saw on the top of the mountain? As long as we follow the direction of the light spot,
Keep walking, don't stop, don't hesitate, don't fight, and sooner or later you will arrive at the Black Prison Castle."
Zheng Qing had no doubt about this.
But isn't the role of a guide to erase the word "chi" from the word "sooner or later" and avoid unnecessary trouble? Zheng Qing muttered quietly in his heart.
He chose to keep the old lich because Zheng Qing was worried that something unexpected would happen on the road, which would delay the two witches' return to school.
The Hell World is not a kind place. As the magic power is slowly taken away, the wizard will become weaker and weaker, and over time, it will even damage his roots.
Like a big tree that is infested with insects.
The longer the time, the greater the harm.
"Then what?!"
Zhu Si pulled up Jiang Yu's sleeve again, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "Why did you go off track again while talking? What else did that 'Yagneg' say?"
The little witch still couldn't forget the prophecy in the previous topic.
"What it said is not important. What is important is that the facts proved that its prediction was not that accurate." The witch smoothed Zhu Si's hair comfortingly and explained:
"The prophecy was actually divided into two parts. We paid twice. After the first payment, it said, 'There is no safer place than Phuket Island.' The second time, it said, 'No castle or wall can protect it.
We said "let's run away quickly"... Such obviously contradictory statements can only be made by the totems of fish people."
"But you seemed to believe it at the time." Black Cat tilted his head and reminded with interest.
"That's because its divination has merits." Zheng Qing shook his shoulders and signaled the black cat to be quiet: "For example, its description of the external gods, its reminder to me, and the White Tower you just mentioned, etc.
Wait...it's not really about cheating money, it's just that the ability is there."
"So, the so-called prophecy is just a reason for the wizard to find peace of mind for himself." The black cat curled his lips and started licking his paws again.
Zheng Qing couldn't imagine himself looking like this after turning into a cat queen.
But looking at the black cat's actions, he felt like he was looking in the mirror.
He forced himself to look away and muttered at the same time: "Speaking of which...how do you know about the prophecy we made in 'Quan Ke Lai'? Are the relevant departments still involved in such nosy matters?"
"None of the 'things' related to the 'related things' is 'nothing'." The black cat glanced at the young wizard and said meaningfully.
Jiang Yu was putting a butterfly hairpin on Zhu Si's head to divert the little witch's complaints, and seemed not to have heard the conversation between Zheng Qing and the black cat.
But Zheng Qing still felt a little guilty for no reason, and subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Behind the dark, low clouds, the rumble of thunder was always continuous.
"Is there still thunder in the black prison?" He smiled dryly and tried to change the subject: "It sounds like it's quite lively... Is this the time it's going to rain?"
"Thunder was also mentioned in Yagneg's prophecy," Jiang Yu added with a smile: "But I don't think it can predict what will happen in the hell world...it's more like coincidence."
Originally this was just a few casual conversations between topics.
Zheng Qing didn't expect to hear any lofty remarks. At most, the black cat and the two of them would complain about how funny the prophecies made by the totem of the wandering fishman tribe were.
But this time, Black Cat gave Zheng Qing an unexpected answer:
"Thunder? No, that's not thunder... that's the sound made when the demon army breaks through the membrane of the world and the crystal wall protecting the black prison breaks."
"Army of Demons?!"
"The crystal wall of the Hell World has been shattered!"
Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu gasped at the same time, raised their heads, and looked at the boundless darkness above their heads, as if if they opened their eyes wider, they could see something in the darkness.
But despite their sore eyes, they didn't see a trace of demonic aura leaking from behind the clouds.
"When the sky falls, there are still those legendary wizards who are holding it up." The little black cat hooked Zheng Qing's ears with its tail and patted it comfortingly: "We can't do anything... The only thing we can do is to hurry up and hurry up.
Try to sneak back to Phuket Island before the fiercest war breaks out."
