Ji Yijun finally saw Morey. He had just caught an ice bat and went to the next door to do research. Now he came again, holding a beaker in each hand.
"Why are you so slow?" Ji Yijun used his sword to cut off two ice bats that were rushing towards Morey.
"Shut up! I made this!" Without explaining, Morey poured the dark red solution in his right hand into the light yellow solution in his left hand. As soon as the two solutions came into contact, light red smoke immediately emerged from the beaker and drifted into the air.
As the lingering smoke spread, the bats in the room became anxious. They tried their best to avoid the red smoke and no longer had the heart to attack Ji Yijun and the others. In a moment, the whole room was filled with faint red smoke. The ice bats that had originally stayed in the room broke through the windows and fled. Most of the ice bats that had just come through the teleportation array were unwilling to stay in the room for a moment and flew away directly through the doors and windows.
"Hey, Lao Mo, I admire you a little this time. You made such a potion in just a quarter of an hour. If you don't come, we will have to flee." Ji Yijun was supported by his fighting spirit, so he was able to survive. The remaining few people stumbled out of the door and collapsed on the ground, trembling and bruised. However, they were not without achievements. There was already a layer of ice several inches high on the ground in the house, and the bodies of ice bats and strange warriors were buried in the middle.
"What the hell is this?"
"A repellent potion for bat-like monsters. Ice bats will hate the smell."
Without the interference of the ice bats, Morey could finally continue to study the teleportation array. He walked to the bottom of the teleportation array and looked up and said, "I just saw that warrior fall down and jump back up. I actually have some ideas."
"Whatever method you have, it'd better be quick." Ji Yijun said anxiously. At this time, they could clearly hear the continuous sound of gunfire outside the window. There were not many guns left in the school, and the crossbows were also limited. If these beasts could not be dealt with in time, casualties would soon occur.
"Of course, I have a guess. If it's true, we can not only solve this formation, but also teach the guys on the other side a lesson. Setting up this formation here is simply a provocation to me, so we can't let them go." Morey drew a few circles on the notebook and said, "Look, here, here, and the several groups of runes here are all used to identify the source of spiritual power. Only the owner of this magic circle and the operator with the owner's permission can decide what can pass through this portal."
Ji Yijun was confused and asked, "Master? Isn't that the enemy on the other side of the portal?"
"However, we also have someone here who participated in the creation of this magic circle. I think he is the biggest loophole in this magic circle."
"You mean. Crete?" Huang Zheng understood what Morey meant.
"That's right! I suspect that Lorenzo and the person who is controlling the magic circle now are not on the same page. The mark he left on Crete, in addition to communication, also has the function of interfering with the teleportation array. When this interference magic is running, it extracts Crete's power, and now it is entangled with the teleportation array. Therefore, if I use Crete's blood as an initiator and then cast magic, perhaps we can break the restrictions of this formation!"

The raiding team led by Galdo and Letona was only one street corner away from the library. They used the speed spell and hurried from the valley to the school. Taking advantage of the dim sky at dusk, they sneaked into the school from a sentry post infested with bats.
They also brought the elite of the Temple of Wisdom. All ten temple warriors had mastered the power of fighting spirit. The two first-level priests were also good at fighting. Such a team was enough to raid the altar of a natural temple, but Galdo and Letona's faces were still full of tension. Because the strength of these Black Mountain mages was too mysterious to them.
Letona still remembered the battle with Xiao Chen in the inn tavern when they were dressed as bards. The powerful, wild, and terrifying will still made him shudder when he thought about it. Letona was not sure if he would be Xiao Chen's opponent in a head-on confrontation.
And this is their lair. If there are a few magicians like this, this team may never come back.
At this time, a priest was casting a concealing spell "Stardust". Although it could not make people completely invisible, everyone's figure was obscured by the fine crystal mist. It was under the protection of this spell that they sneaked into the interior of the castle without anyone noticing.
However, they were now in trouble. There were quite a few figures running around at the door and windows of the library.
"There are guards. There are quite a few of them." Galdo stuck his head out and tried to count the number of people. "Damn, if we had followed the original plan and raided in the middle of the night, there wouldn't have been so many guards."
"They are not attracted by the ice bats? Why don't they fight the ice bats when they have weapons?" Letona asked puzzledly.
"I've said it before, these little attention-grabbing tricks can only help a little at best. In the final analysis, it all depends on this." He said, patting the hilt of his sword.
"Maybe we can try to go around from the back," said Letona.
"Impossible. Look at those windows. From the outside, it's hard for us to see if there's anyone inside. But they can see outside very clearly. As long as we're seen, fighting is inevitable. Besides, we don't even know how to open these windows."
"All the windows here should be made of crystal. What a luxury. Breaking such a window would definitely make a noise." Letona said, "And the windows are too small for everyone to pass through quickly."
"Then let's charge in through the main gate. That will allow us to bring out our full strength."
Galdo slowly drew a rapier out of its scabbard, turned around and made a gesture of wiping his neck to the temple warrior behind him, then rushed out first.

Cai Long, the platoon leader of the third platoon, was currently leading two squads to guard the library. After the last fire in the library, Wang Jiyuan had arranged a 15-man reinforcement squad to stay in the library, equipped with four Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and two Type 54 pistols.
Cai Long has been here for two months. Apart from getting the nickname of librarian, he hasn't caught a single mouse and is already bored to death.
But today was very unusual. Strange bats began to appear in the school just now, which gave him a vague intuition that something unusual was going to happen.
The library is a building with more than ten floors. There are three floors for ordinary books and reading rooms alone, and there are various professional reading rooms upstairs. The fifteen people he has to defend such a big building is like a stone thrown into the sea, without even a splash. If he wants to guard against bats from every window, it would be difficult to bring the entire guard battalion, let alone him. But Cai Long judged that these bats would not cause much damage to the books. What he needs to guard against is what is hidden behind these bats.
So he stopped a patrol led by a local named Bras at the entrance of the library and increased the number of guards to 25. Bras was originally the captain of the militia in Floro Town. Now he officially joined the guard team and also had a position as a deputy platoon leader.
"Platoon leader, why don't you let us attack these beasts? We saw them injuring quite a few people along the way." Seeing that Cai Long arranged them behind the doors and windows and asked everyone not to attack, Bras asked in confusion.
"Brain. Use your brain more." Cai Long tapped his head with his hand. "You guys, can you think more before doing things? Who would have nothing better to do than to bring some bats to cause trouble? This is not how you play a prank. There must be some conspiracy behind it."
Cai Long spoke too fast, and Brass didn't understand everything. He was about to ask again. Suddenly, Cai Long's eyes widened, and he pulled Brass to the ground. Brass fell to the left, and a strong wind passed through his right face. The turbulent airflow left a blood mark on his cheek. It was a flying knife, wrapped in fighting spirit, and it pierced into the outer wall of the library in front of him with a snap.
Cai Long took a step forward, squatted, raised his gun, and shot.
When a ball of blood burst out from the attacker's head, he finally had time to shout: "Enemy attack! Fight back!"
