A few minutes later again.
"Huhuhu..."
The man in blue robe ran to the exit of the passage panting alone, grabbed the hanging vines, and quickly climbed up.
But something strange happened. Every time he climbed one meter upward, the vines grew one meter downward. As a result, he climbed for a long time without leaving the ground at all.
"Damn it!" the man in blue robe cursed, realizing that the green-haired man must have done something to the vines before. Without the green-haired man's control, the others would not be able to use the vines to leave.
However, he did not panic. His fists were wrapped in khaki energy and he punched the wall hard, trying to break out of the pit. As he climbed up, he found that the stone wall was surprisingly hard and could not be broken at all.
His face was slightly dark, but the man in blue robe was not completely desperate. He glanced deep into the corridor, then raised his head and shouted at the entrance of the passage: "Tangke! Tangk!"
The brown-haired man who was staying on the ground quickly appeared, glanced at him, and said in confusion: "What's going on? Why are you the only one? Where are the others?"
"The rest were sacrificed, and I am the only one who survived. Don't waste time. Use your wood spells to pull me up quickly. The vines left by Dom cannot be used at all now."
"Okay." The brown-haired man didn't hesitate. With a shake of his arm, a gray vine grew out and hung down into the passage.
The man in blue robe grabbed the vine and climbed up quickly. As he climbed, he could feel a strong pulling force in the air, trying to bind him to the ground. It was obviously the effect of the forbidden air spell. Fortunately, he was strong enough and quickly climbed to the top of the vertical passage with a lot of effort.
At this time, the brown-haired man on the ground spoke up and asked, "Did you get the things in the tomb?"
"Of course I got it," the man in blue robe said quickly.
"Then show me." The brown-haired man said.
"Huh?" The man in blue robe was stunned, and then met the brown-haired man's somewhat cold gaze.
The gray-robed man's body shook slightly and he lost his voice: "You... what do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, I just want to take a look and make sure you got it correctly." The brown-haired man continued to say with a cold gaze.
"What if I got it wrong?" the man in gray robe asked tentatively.
"Of course you went back and got it again?" the brown-haired man smiled, but his eyes became colder, "Isn't this our purpose this time?"
"you… "
The two were in a stalemate.
In the end, the man in blue robe heard the sound coming from the corridor below him getting closer and closer, and gave in. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the seal, threw it to the brown-haired man and said, "Okay, take a look."
The brown-haired man caught it, looked at it for a few times, suddenly shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "This is fake."
"What?" The man in blue robe was a little disbelieving. Before he could react, he saw that the vine he was holding broke with a "snap".
The man in blue robe fell straight down, and in the process he desperately used spells to slow down the impact. However, the effect of the spell in the forbidden air was stronger than he imagined, and he was still seriously injured after the fall.
"Boom!"
The man in blue robe landed on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He gritted his teeth and looked at the brown-haired man with hatred and said, "Tang Ke, you lied, it is definitely not a lie."
"No, if I say it's fake, then it's fake." The brown-haired man insisted, "If you don't believe me, see for yourself."
As he spoke, he threw down something in his hand.
The man in gray robe stretched out his hand with some difficulty and caught the thing. His eyes suddenly shrank and he realized that it was not the seal he handed over before, but a metal ball engraved with magic patterns.
The next moment, the magic patterns on the surface of the metal ball suddenly lit up, and then exploded.
"Boom!"
The entire passage collapsed.
The brown-haired man on the ground withdrew hundreds of meters and watched with a proud smile as a large stone wall collapsed and the passage completely disappeared.
"You are still too naive. If you dare to enter the tomb without knowing what traps there are, then I can only apologize. After all... fools are not qualified to get rewards."
After the brown-haired man said this, he turned around and prepared to leave. However, as soon as he took a step forward, his legs became inexplicably weak and he fell to his knees with a "pop". With a muffled groan, he later realized that the life force in his body was flowing away - it was flowing crazily along a wound on his chest.
At some point, a round hole the size of a thumb appeared on his chest, accurately destroying his only source of magic and affecting his heart, leaving him instantly seriously injured and on the verge of death.
This this…
The brown-haired man felt his head start to feel dizzy, his body tilted uncontrollably, and he fell to the ground. He had no idea who had done it.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta."
There was a sound of footsteps, and the brown-haired man saw a man slowly walking over, squatting down beside him, patiently opening his fingers one by one, and then took away the seal in his hand.
The brown-haired man looked up as hard as he could, and finally saw the other person's face. He saw that the other party was very young, with a pair of gray eyes looking at him meaningfully, with a hint of pity in his teasing—it was the boy who died in the vertical passage in the first place.
"You! How is this possible!"
The brown-haired man stared with disbelief.
"Is there anything impossible?" The gray-eyed boy smiled and responded softly. He gently slapped the brown-haired man's cheek with one hand, making a crisp "pop" sound and educating him, "Do you really think that you The confidentiality is very good, no one knows that you are secretly digging the tomb of the legendary wizard? In fact, from the beginning, you have been targeted by several wizard forces, and I secretly sent you away.
Without me, you would have died long ago, there is no need to wait until now. Speaking of which, you are cutely stupid. There is nothing wrong with choosing cannon fodder to explore the road, but at least you should investigate the details - do you really think that wizard apprentices can be found everywhere
Alas, don't be so naive, because this world is very dangerous, and if you are not smart enough, you will be eaten. So, promise me, next time, you won’t make this mistake again. Uh, forget it, you won’t have a next time. "
"Papa, that's it." The gray-eyed boy patted the man's cheek a few more times, stood up and said, "If there is an afterlife, remember that this world is more complicated than you think. You are only a small part of this world. Before you are not sure to control everything, you must be humble, yes, humble. Humility will make this world more beautiful."
After saying that, the gray-eyed boy stood up, took the seal and flew towards the distance.
"puff!"
As a result, as soon as he flew into the air, the entire head of the gray-haired boy suddenly flew out, and a large stream of blood poured out like a fountain.
"Your death will also make this world more beautiful."
A voice blending into the night said so.
"Snapped!"
A hand stretched out from under the blue robe, accurately grasped the seal falling from the sky, and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
