Chapter 167
In this way, Bryce won this battle and entered the next round.
However, except for Bryce, Cindy was defeated by a level-2 gold mage.
Soon, after a round of competition, there were only five people left.
The final round would be held on the second day.
On the other side, in the distant Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, four white figures were moving quickly.
Puff!
The white figure in the front stopped first.
This was a middle-aged man, tall and slender. He was dressed in a white robe, with a dark black star on his back. His hair had turned white, and his beard was white.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
As the middle-aged man stopped, another three sounds of soles stepping on the branches came, and the other three white shadows also stopped in an instant.
At this time, the appearance of the three white shadows could be clearly seen.
On the left side, there was a slightly fat middle-aged man, and on the right, there were two slightly younger men and a woman on the trunk, both of whom looked about twenty-five years old. The woman was solemn and calm, and there was a hint of caution in her eyes. The young man had a faint smile, looking somewhat unreliable.
His eyes darkened slightly. Looking into the distance, the white-haired middle-aged man said faintly, “The center of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts is in front of us.”
The woman took out a black record book and opened it. The words on it came into view.
“Investigation Team D entered the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts at noon on August 10, 3023.”
“After moving 50 kilometers, we didn’t find the mutated magical beast figures, nor did we meet any member of the depraved organization.”
The woman quickly turned to the end of the record book and wrote, “On the third day after entering the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts, the team arrived at the depth of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts. Along the way, magical beasts were normal, and there was no mysterious energy mentioned in the report. The team is ready to go deep into the depth of the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.”
In the woman’s record, the young man had already sat down on a tree trunk.
The woman quickly finished recording. Her eyes swept over the young man leaning against the tree trunk, revealing a look of disgust. This kind of disgust had been generated for a long time. From the moment the young man entered Team 9 by pulling the string, it became more and more intense. During this period, she had reacted many times to the teacher, the white-haired middle-aged leader, hoping to kick a black sheep like the young man out of the team.
Team 9 was a powerful force belonging to the king. She couldn’t let such a young man ruin its reputation!
However, on this matter, no matter how she opposed, the teacher, who had always been upright, was strangely silent.
Finally, she came to the conclusion that this playboy in front of her had a strong background, and even the powerful teacher chose to be silent.
Although the young man had a strong background, it did not hinder her disgust with him.
“The depraved organization is weird, mysterious, cruel and merciless. Everyone, cheer up.” The white-haired middle-aged man withdrew his gaze from afar and reminded the three people behind him. While speaking, he glanced at the young man gently.
Seeing that the middle-aged man especially looked at him, the young man curled his lips and stood up from the tree trunk. He also knew that it was for him.
Seeing that the young man also stood up, the white-haired middle-aged man moved his body and continued to run deep into the Nariel Mountains of Magical Beasts.
Half an hour later, the four stopped in front of a heap of ruins.
“This is the place where the depraved organization summoned demons.”
In front of the middle-aged man with white hair was a land of ruins. The ground was rugged, and it was a hole caused by the explosion. The previous magic array was also covered by collapsed ancient trees and splashed stones.
“Such an annoying smell is indeed exclusive to the people of the depraved organization.” The fat middle-aged man closed his eyes and felt the trace of demon breath in the air. He frowned and said, “But judging from the aura, he has left for a long time.”
The white-haired man also nodded. Magic energy lifted his body and slowly floated in the air. Then it turned into white light. He looked around the entire ruins before landing. He said to the woman, “There are no members of the depraved organization around. Karami, record the situation here.”
The woman named Karami nodded. She quickly took out a photo stone from her storage ring and input magic power into it.
Whoosh!
The photo stone emitted a dark black light, and engraved the surrounding environment information into the photo stone. One minute later, the record was completed.
After marking the photo stone and putting it into the storage ring, she took out a piece of cloth and copied the remaining magic array patterns on it.
As for the young man, seeing that the white-haired middle-aged man did not arrange a task for him, he was more relaxed and curiously looked at the remaining magic array.
The white-haired middle-aged man stood still, paying attention to the surrounding movements in case of the sneak attack of the depraved organization. The fat middle-aged man had already been circling in the magic array to study the array textures of the magic array.
Before long, the fat middle-aged man found another magic array not far away.
Looking at the magic array in front of her, Karami’s eyes flashed with confusion. Obviously, she was very unfamiliar with this kind of magic array.
Seeming to see the confusion in her eyes, the young man who leaned against the tree trunk said slowly, “This is a siege magic array. It has been transformed. In addition to detaining creatures, it can also extract the blood vitality from the living beings as the nourishment of the demon.”
As he spoke, a light flashed across the young man’s eyes.
Karami was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that this indomitable young man could recognize the magic array in front of her.
“Although I know I’m attractive, don’t fall in love with me.” Seeing that her lips were slightly open and she looked surprised, the young man wore an evil smile.
Hearing the young man’s flirting voice, she rolled her eyes and ignored him.
“Harrington is right.” The fat middle-aged man, who was bending over to study the magic array, also slowly straightened up and turned to the two. “This magic array once appeared in Oakland County. When Team 9 arrived, the two thousand people in the magic array had become mummies.”
The fat middle-aged man paused and said hesitantly, “But the magic crystal was broken from the outside. Obviously, it didn’t seem to be done by someone from the depraved organization.”
The person who set up the magic array naturally had a way to close and open the magic array, so that he wouldn’t use too much strength to break it from the outside.
“Maybe the people of the depraved organization have been attacked.” The young man named Harrington said abruptly.
Hearing that, both the white-haired middle-aged man and the fat middle-aged man fell silent for a moment. They had originally speculated that the reason why the depraved organization had destroyed the magic array when they retreated was because of the exposure of the matter. However, judging from the magic array in front of them, the situation was probably more complicated.
After a moment of silence, the white-haired middle-aged man frowned and said, “But the report did not mention the problem of this magic array.”
“According to the report, it was only found by a tutor in the school set up by that old guy.” The fat middle-aged man smiled slightly. “It’s a mage in the city. It’s normal that we can’t find this magic array.”
“Record what happened here first.”
After thinking for a while, the white-haired middle-aged man said directly, “It’s of great importance. After sending the information back, we will go to Naton County first to learn more about the situation.”
The fat middle-aged man nodded in agreement. Although the depraved organization was almost completely destroyed, the remaining forces could not be underestimated. Every time it appeared, it would cause a bloody storm.
After recording, the four of them found the cave where Badal had lived before. But Badal had moved everything away before he left, so they didn’t find anything.
