After the magician finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and the whale-toothed worm entangled with the film on the ground suddenly expanded, as if something was drilling around inside.
The hard-as-iron outer shell of the zerg, which is the whale tooth itself, was bulged here and there by the things inside, forming lumps that would not go away.
After a while, the zerg that had been struggling to break free of the membrane and parasitize Hiro and others again stopped moving.
The life breath absorbed from his body also weakened and slowly dissipated into the void.
"Die like that?" Byrne muttered in shock.
"Bring these two back, maybe the tower can reward you with some resources as compensation for exchanging information."
After saying the last piece of advice, the magician suppressed his weird smile and walked calmly towards the black lines floating in the sky.
Staring at his back, Hero patted Byrne on the shoulder.
"Let's go and put away the Chickenfoot House."
By the way, he reached out the [Twisted Twins] and sucked in the two worms that could no longer be seen as they were. He used the twisted perception at the end to carefully detect the changes. After completely confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he took the zerg into the [Flea].
skin].
The blue target point behind him dimmed a bit. During the period when he was controlled by the mystic magician, the target point had been activated by him. Although it did not pass, just maintaining the teleportation target point would still consume some soul coins.
.
Hero took out a bag of soul coins from his pocket again, counted some of them, and threw them all into the target.
The originally sluggish blue light suddenly became more surging.
"Let's go."
Holo and Byrne stepped into it.
Crossing half of the empire's territory, in just an instant, the two of them teleported back to the tower.
When he went there, he bought the high tower target point through Bain at a huge cost. This target point exists in the closed apprentice level. After purchasing the key, it can be opened by randomly opening the door.
When they came back, the aura of Byrne's soul recorded in it directly passed the review of the tower. The two no longer had to enter from the periphery of the imperial capital, but were directly teleported back to their original place.
The feet are no longer stained by the crunching snow, and one foot steps out onto the solid floor tiles.
Hero's heart finally felt relieved.
The snowfield... is too dangerous.
Stitching monsters, lords, and the city that can move its internal structure on its own, hiding the secret map of life, and that place... If it is not an illusion, that beautiful world that is completely different from the city environment is the biggest hidden thing in it.
secret.
Then to the giant whale that broke the seal at the back, not to mention her, just the whale teeth that were spread out with a casual swarm attack.
Although he can use [Black Sea] to kill the parasitic whale teeth, there are so many whale teeth that even if they don't move there, draining [Black Sea] of their source cores, they may not be able to kill them all.
It's simply...safe.
"Ms. Palin should be in the office at this time."
On the apprentice level, Ms. Palin has an office, which is also a way for apprentices to connect with the tower. Compared to the mentor, Ms. Palin, as their supervisor, is more suitable for talking about trivial matters.
Such as now.
When there was no benefit, it was better for Hero to choose not to disturb his mentor.
Arriving at a territory that Byrne was familiar with, his keen eye immediately found friends among the apprentices coming and going.
"Hey Kanter! Have you seen Ms. Palin?"
The apprentice who was grabbed by Byrne was obviously a little confused.
The door Byrne opened was not his dormitory, which meant that he was teleported back through the target point.
But why did he find me as soon as he came back?
Kanter thought for a while, pointed in one direction and said with some uncertainty.
"I saw Pierce flying around there before, and his hair was blown. He must have been beaten for stealing Ms. Palin's dessert again."
"That's it!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Holo did not join in the two of them reminiscing, but turned and walked towards Ms. Palin's office.
Seeing this, Byrne also stopped talking.
But before he had gone far, Kanter's eyes flashed and he quickly grabbed Byrne.
"You don't want to take me with you when you go out to make a fortune? Tell me, what good things did you find when you went out this time?"
In just a moment, he guessed something from Byrne's expression and words.
Obviously, I got benefits, but I couldn't digest those benefits myself, so I could only seek the cooperation of the tower.
But Kanter misjudged the wrong person. The person communicating with him was not Holo.
But Byrne is optimistic, positive and loud-mouthed.
It is obviously unrealistic to detect signs of failure from Byrne's face.
"Hehe, good stuff? Of course it's good stuff, good stuff that almost leaves the soul there."
Although there was something sinister between the lines in what Byrne said, Kanter obviously didn't notice it and subconsciously thought it was really a good thing and it was just a joke.
"Oh~, can you let me have a look!" Kanter's eyes lit up even more.
Byrne thought for a while, the whale tooth worm was dead anyway, and patted him on the shoulder generously.
"Of course, my friend!"
Turning around to entangle with Holo, he asked very flatteringly.
"Luo, let him take a look at that thing!"
Of course, Hero heard the conversation between the two, and took out the big worm with one hand, but did not reach out.
"I understand, understand, it's the reward!"
Byrne quickly passed over the robe with one hand, and Kanter felt a red light flash in his hand. Before he could see it clearly, the item in Byrne's hand was replaced by the zerg in Helo's hand.
"Look, this is it."
Judging from the flash of light, it was obviously a treasure.
But before Kanter had time to look, he was attracted by the thing in Byrne's hand.
"What's this?"
The magician's curiosity drove him to stretch out his finger.
Byrne can put it on his hand calmly, so there should be nothing wrong with it.
"hiss!"
But when his fingers touched it, a stinging pain made him subconsciously retract his fingers.
This unique little thing seems to have a layer of fine thorns on its surface.
But when he looked at the location of the pain, he found that there was no wound.
Kanter thought in confusion.
Could it be that it was an illusion just now?
I tried to stretch out my fingers again, but I didn't feel any discomfort.
"Okay, okay, I've looked and I've touched, we're going to find Ms. Palin."
Byrne pocketed the Zerg with his backhand.
"Stingy guy, just take a look!"
This time Byrne did not respond.
…
After parting ways with the two of them, Kanter scratched his head, feeling that the tingling pain just now seemed to be there but not there.
When he tried to recall it, he couldn't remember the feeling, but when he didn't care, the stinging pain seemed to be there.
"strangeness."
If you don't understand it, then don't think about it.
What did you originally want to do?
Why have I forgotten something?
He scratched his head and thought as he walked, but no one noticed.
There was a light white mark on the back of Kanter's neck.
