The old man did not attack. When he saw Richard turning the pages of the book, he just stood there and watched quietly. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed and said, "Well, it seems that you really don't know how high the sky is and you have to do things beyond your ability. This is not good for you - very bad!"
"But now, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with me." Richard said.
"But you didn't get what you wanted." The old man said, "Boy, take a look at the book in your hand."
Um
Richard's eyebrows moved, and he focused most of his attention on the old man. His eyes quickly glanced at the pages of the book in his hand, and then he was stunned.
Then he saw that the pages of the book in his hand were all white.
White, pure white, no words on it.
This is-
Richard turned the pages quickly and flipped backwards, but he didn't see a word in the whole book.
"Snapped!"
Richard dropped the book in his hand on the ground, turned around, took another book from the shelf, opened it, and turned the pages, only to find that it was also blank.
Then the third, fourth, fifth...
The books with metal cases on the bookshelf are all blank!
Richard suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man.
It seemed that the old man spoke up and said in an educational tone: "You see, kid. Now, you have done something dangerous, but you did not get the results you wanted. You are very disappointed - but this is just the beginning. Continue In the end, you will continue to pay the price for your actions.
Maybe, boy, you think you're pretty good. But I can see another side of you—your arrogance, your arrogance, your arrogance, and your cleverness. In my eyes, you are actually just a mortal. No matter how outstanding and successful you are, you are still a mortal. As a mortal, if you try to cross the dangerous red line, you will definitely be punished.
This is to teach you not to be too curious and think you can do anything. Everything you have now, your life, your complete body, and your mind, are actually given. If you try to go against a great will, these may be taken back at any time.
At that time, you will fall into the endless abyss and into the hell full of fire. Your soul will be tortured and you will never be redeemed. Do you understand? ! "
At the end of the sentence, the old man sounded stern.
Richard's eyes flickered, he looked at the old man for a while, and then said slowly: "I'm afraid - I don't understand -"
"No, you will understand, boy." The old man suddenly laughed, and his smile was dangerous.
The next moment, Richard felt a pain in his left ankle. He looked down suddenly and saw a colorful spider the size of a finger biting his ankle hard.
He had no idea where this spider came from or when it appeared. The spider itself seemed to have some special ability, and he had no idea until it bit him.
this!
Richard was shocked, but he reacted quickly. He released the spell, and the air surged, and the colorful spider at his ankle suddenly flew out and hit the wall. Then an ice pick shot out, accurately hitting the colorful spider, piercing the opponent's body, and then freezing it into a ball of ice.
After that, Richard quickly checked the wound, his expression was slightly ugly, because he found that the wound was faintly black and numb, which showed that the spider was poisonous and not weak at all.
"call-"
Richard took a deep breath and quickly took out a dagger without any hesitation.
He touched the dagger with his finger, and the surging flames licked the blade of the dagger, quickly disinfecting it. Then Richard held the hot dagger and cut it against the wound. With two "pop" sounds, he made an "X" shaped incision.
Throwing away the dagger, Richard squeezed the wound hard, trying to squeeze out the venom.
Drops of jet-black venom fell to the ground, gathering on the smooth polished bluestone, emitting a pungent fishy smell.
But this did not stop the rapid spread of the poison. Even if most of the venom was squeezed out, Richard still found a black patch of black spreading along the wound toward the skin above the calf.
Entered the bloodstream
Richard frowned, and the next moment he used a dagger to cut a strip of cloth directly from his clothes, and tied it to his calf, trying to organize blood circulation. Then use the water-based ice branch spell to freeze the entire part that turned black. Although this will cause frostbite to a certain extent, it can't be taken care of so much at the critical moment.
The problem is... Even so, the venom was not stopped.
The black color on the skin seemed to be accelerating. It took up half of the calf in a short time and showed a tendency to spread towards the thigh.
this!
Richard frowned slightly, thinking about something next moment.
"Stab it!"
Use the dagger again to cut a strip of cloth and tie the blood vessels on the thigh to stop the blood flow. Richard opened and closed his lips, and after a while, a wind blade of more than ten centimeters long appeared at the end of his finger.
Controlling the wind blade, Richard cut towards the calf without blinking.
"puff!"
The calf was broken in response, revealing the white bone stubble. Richard's face turned slightly green, and then returned to normal.
After checking, Richard confirmed that the toxin was gone and calmly treated the wound. Then he used magic to control the air to hold up the left side of his body, stood up, and looked at the old man.
During the process just now, the old man had no intention of taking action at all. He had been watching with interest. At this time, he said with some admiration: "Tsk, not bad, boy, you did a really good job. You are better than me." Think bigger.”
"But, this doesn't change anything. It won't change your arrogance, arrogance, arrogance and cleverness. You were bitten by a poisonous spider just now, and you can cut off your own legs, which many people can't do. Arrived.
But I want to tell you that the spider's toxin is not fatal and will eliminate itself within a day. What do you think? Even if the toxin is fatal, why don't you ask me if there is an antidote? If you ask me, I will give it to you.
Besides, this time you can chop off the legs to save your life. So next time if a spider bites your neck, would you choose to chop off your head or the entire torso? Do you really think that your ability can solve anything? "
"You can't!" The old man gave the answer. "It's impossible for one person to solve everything. That's God. If you try to compete with gods as a mortal, it will only lead to destruction! Destruction, you know!"
Then Richard felt a pain in his neck.
With a "pop" sound, Richard released the wind spell. The foreign object on his neck was quickly flicked away, and he saw that it was a bee with a black body.
The surging air slammed the opponent against the wall. Richard showed no mercy and released the ice pick to kill the opponent, and then looked at himself.
He saw a rich black color spreading rapidly along his neck and throughout his body.
The skin wrinkled and rotted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disgusting pus leaked out. In the blink of an eye, the whole person became extremely smelly and itchy.
