A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 756: Chapter 755: Black Rat

It took a full hour and a half of sand to return to a hidden den with this abyssal human.

The life traits of these abyssal humans, although more robust than ordinary humans of the Wizard World, were only at the level of a Knight, pitifully weak. Green strolled within the den, listening to their language, which had far fewer syllables than the Ancient Wizard Language and bore no relation to the Modern Wizard Language at all.

Inside the den, about two hundred abyssal humans were gathered, their bodies covered with Abyss Moss, serving as their perfect protective layer.

Perhaps due to the loss of social relations among humans, not only had these abyssal humans not advanced into the path of Wizards, but even their emotional richness, intelligent thoughts, and expressions, typical of ordinary humans of the Wizard World, had significantly degenerated.

Without the ability for soul communication due to their weak life force, Green did not rashly choose to communicate with them. Instead, he looked at the blurred murals on the stone walls, hoping to glean some clues from these stone paintings and sporadic Ancient Wizard Language.

The stone paintings were too obscured and heavily damaged. Picture after picture, Green, relying on his intelligence, could only faintly judge the expressions of despair from those Ancient Wizards.

During this period, Green finally expelled all the Ancient Abyssal Demonic Qi from his body.

"What is this thing?"

It seemed all the clues in the murals pointed towards a ferociously sinister giant hand, but there were no other hints about this hand. It seemed the formation of the Sealing Space was due to this bizarre hand.

Beside this eerie hand, there were several creatures. Through the blurred Ancient Wizard Language, Green deduced they might be Nameless Ancient Demons, and the fearsome level of this hand was even above these Nameless Ancient Demons?

Rumbling...

From afar, outside the den, the battle of the exiles caused vibrations within the cave, scaring the abyssal humans into trembling and huddling in corners.

"From the information depicted in the murals, the remains of the Nameless Ancient Demons within this Sealing Space were indeed collected by Ancient Wizards and sealed beneath various altars."

Altars!

Green immediately recalled the half-ruined altar he was observing when attacked by a black rat, resembling the one depicted in the murals.

Rumbling, rumbling!

The sound of battle on the surface grew closer, and the shaking within the den became more intense, causing some areas to collapse. Ancient creature bones from the surface fell into the den, and cracks appeared on the relic stone walls. Green’s expression shifted as he flew upwards.

"It’s coming again!"

Just as Green flew out of the abyssal human den, he saw a Black Phoenix carrying a golden lamp, continuously using space means to flee.

However, being a Sealing Space, the spatial abilities of the Black Phoenix were evidently restricted.

Behind the Black Phoenix, the Moon Scar Evil Dragon leader and a Blood Ghost, resembling a blood red waterfall, along with two exiles from the Ancient Demon Servant Yifang, were chasing the Black Phoenix, obviously aiming for that golden lamp.

Both the Moon Scar Evil Dragon and the Blood Ghost detected Green under the Robe of Appearances. They evidently possessed an external sensing method different from that of ordinary Wizards.

The Moon Scar Evil Dragon sneered coldly, and with a mighty flap of its huge wings, it was as if a shadow of death swept over, with four giant claws reaching for Green.

"Roar!"

Faced with such a terrifying enemy, Green dared not be careless. Instantly, with a roar, he activated the Third Layer of Wild Instinct, transforming into a savage Barbarian Giant over ten meters tall, spreading ripples of strength in all directions. After clashing forcefully with the Moon Scar Evil Dragon, the dragon paused midair while the Barbarian Giant took advantage of the recoil to escape rapidly.

"Shadow of Despair, are you here too?"

The Black Phoenix, seeing Green in his Third Layer of Wild Instinct Transformation, spoke with tired joy.

The scene was similar to when the Fiendish Ghost was chased by a mob of local lords and exiles, but now the roles were reversed. After becoming experienced in two similar events, anyone would sense the deep conspiracy behind everything. The image of a black rat flashed across Green’s mind, as if it orchestrated everything from behind the scenes.

Shaking off the numbness in his arms, the Barbarian Giant sprinted away, trying to draw the exiles away from the abyssal human den.

"Master Black Phoenix, the time for mutual progress, as dictated by the contract, hasn’t arrived yet. I don’t have the obligation to share your burden here."

Undoubtedly, through the clash, Green could clearly sense that the strength of the Moon Scar Evil Dragon was indeed superior to his own strength after activating the Third Layer of Wild Instinct Transformation!

To have survived in the face of pursuit by four strong exiles, this Black Feather Phoenix’s strength was truly formidable. At this moment, Green did not possess such confidence.

Unless... Green activated the heart of magic.

Without paying attention to what the Black Feather Phoenix seemed to want to say, Green jumped in a flash to another direction tens of meters away, sprinting a while to evade the pursuers behind the Black Feather Phoenix. The Ancient Demon Servants didn’t seem to have intentions to chase Green.

Whew...

With a soft sigh.

In the instant of releasing the Third Layer of Wild Instinct, Green suddenly turned back, revealing a strange smile under the Face of Truth. A black rat, claws surrounded by potent Ancient Abyssal force, came close to Green’s chest.

Boom!

The blow from the Magnetism Star Core was earth-shattering, overwhelming the black rat with a wave of light. After a breath’s time, the light ceased, leaving a massive trench hundreds of meters long on the ground. The Abyssal Demon Clouds, momentarily dispersed, gathered again from all directions, with not a trace left of the black rat obliterated by the Magnetism Star Core.

"No, it seems... it’s not the same one?"

Based on the change of expression the moment before the Magnetism Star Core’s strike, Green sensed a distinctly different change in demeanor despite the same facial features.

The intense energy fluctuation attracted the strong reactions of both the deceased and abyssal creatures within the Sealing Space. Amidst the endless roars, Green set aside his worries and confusion, urgently leaving the scene.

Two hourglasses later.

It was visible that some residual Sealing Force remained on this half altar, which had long lost its effect, serving now merely as a ruin of ordinary construction.

With time elapsed, Green dug furiously, breaking the remaining half of the ancient altar into ruins. Digging another thirty meters underground exposed a giant skull cap.

The bodies of Nameless Ancient Demons were typically over thirty meters.

With a pleased smile, Green dug with high frequency and efforts. Digging dozens of meters deep, he stored the complete remains of the Nameless Ancient Demon within the Dimensional Gap.

"It’s a pity it’s just bones, without any parts of a body I desire, even a bit of nail or dried skin would do! Moreover, the bones have lost vitality and likely wouldn’t interest the Bone Demon World either."

Pleasure turned into slight disappointment as Green sighed.

Researching genetic information under a Life Code Fracture, having cells of the Nameless Ancient Demon for experimental references would greatly enhance the progress of research.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, is it your goal to dig these low-grade Nameless Ancient Demon bones?"

Green looked up in shock. At the top of the dug hole, a black rat stood coldly smiling, seemingly observing Green through the omnipresent Demonic Qi like a World Guardian, unaffected by the invisibility of the Robe of Appearances.

What felt strange to Green was this should be the same black rat that appeared outside the seal, the first one that ambushed him.

Just as he had this thought, Green’s eyelid twitched.

Another identical black rat appeared, dragging a bleeding corpse, the Golden Pig King!(To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian () for recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Cellphone users please read at m..)
