Chapter 151: Jia Na's Methods
Although he was extremely anxious, the Black Bone Forest Apprentice that he couldn't shake off behind him also made Malo-Haige's emotional state worse and worse, showing signs of being on the verge of collapse.
"Kid, if you don't want to die, hand over your token, otherwise, don't think about leaving the Secret Realm alive!"
As Ma Ge-Hai Ge's speed slowed down, a swarm of bees as large as fists quickly attacked Ma Ge-Hai Luo. Seeing this, Malo-Haige, knowing he could no longer escape, immediately stopped and cast a spell by waving his magic wand.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
The sound of water condensed, and a transparent water snake about the thickness of a bucket condensed from the tip of Malo-Haige's magic wand, quickly rushing towards the attacking swarm of bees, blocking their offensive.
"Swish swish swish—"
Almost at the same time as the Witchcraft collided, dozens of bone spurs emitting a cold white light, carrying a chilling wind, rapidly attacked Malo-Haige's legs without any warning.
With a warning from his peripheral vision, Malo-Haige, who barely managed to jump away, avoided the vast majority of the bone spur attacks, but a few almost imperceptible small bone spurs still fiercely pierced his calf, leaving bloodstains.
"Hiss—"
Feeling the intense pain coming from his calf, Malo-Haige couldn't help but gasp. His faltering steps coupled with his increasingly poor physical condition tormented by the Curse caused Malo-Haige to directly half-kneel on the ground.
"Now you can't escape."
Accompanied by a gloomy, hoarse voice, three Black Bone Forest Apprentices wearing black cloaks filed out from the bushes, subtly forming a pincer movement around Malo-Haige.
Aside from the leading male apprentice, who was short and stout with a scar near his right eye and held a white bone magic wand, the other two Black Bone Forest Apprentices all wore large Wizard hoods, and apart from being able to tell one was male and one was female, no other facial features could be discerned.
"As long as we get your token, the extra reward promised by the academy will be ours!"
Looking at the smug smile on the stout apprentice's face, Malo-Haige, who had already guessed the reason for their relentless pursuit, couldn't help but reveal a trace of resentment on his face, which was originally as gloomy as Frost.
"Then let's see if you're worthy!"
Whoosh whoosh—water surged, condensing into water blades. As Malo-Haige cast a spell again, dense, sharp water blades whistled towards the three apprentices.
"Seeking death!"
Seeing Malo-Haige's desperate counterattack, the leading stout apprentice immediately waved his white bone magic wand impatiently, summoning two balls of cold blue-white ghostly fire. While breaking the water blade attack, the other ball of ghostly fire also unceremoniously Swallowed Malo-Haige.
"Sizzle—"
Water and fire collided, and steam rose.
Looking at the figure that turned into a puddle under the Swallowing of the blue-white ghostly fire, the stout apprentice's face couldn't help but sink.
"It's an illusion! Don't let him escape!"
"He can't escape."
A short whistle sounded from the female apprentice beside her. As several crimson puppet snakes about the thickness of a baby's arm crawled out from the female apprentice's sleeves, in just a few breaths, Maluo-Haige, who was hiding under the swamp, was discovered by the crimson puppet snakes and had to reveal himself again.
"Alright, I don't have time to play with you anymore."
Seeing that his two "teammates" beside him were slow to take down the opponent, the tall and thin male apprentice standing on the far left,
directly took off his Wizard hood, revealing a face so thin it was just skin and bones.
"Pfft—he opened his mouth and a scarlet tongue covered in barbs shot out, like an arrow released from a bowstring. Caught off guard, it directly rushed in front of Malo-Haige and pierced his head with one strike."
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Seeing the Malo-Haige he had "killed" dissipate into a puddle of water again, the stout apprentice standing in the middle couldn't help but chuckle. Then, without another word, he summoned more than ten balls of ghostly fire and attacked the area surrounded by the puppet snakes.
"Andre, if you dare to burn my puppets, don't blame me for chopping you up!"
Seeing the blue-white ghostly fire almost burn her crimson puppet snakes, an exasperated sharp voice came from the female apprentice standing on the far right.
"If you have the ability, force him out—.. This kid is like a loach, escaping too fast.—.. Cough cough. Also because of the "Secret Realm Curse", the Black Bone Forest Apprentice who maintained the casting state for a long time was also not feeling well. The burning sensation in his hot lungs made the stout apprentice unable to stop coughing."
"My puppet tells me his scent is still here, he hasn't left—"
The crimson puppet snakes crawled back into the female apprentice's long sleeves, and the female apprentice, who received the puppet's information feedback, frowned and said somewhat uncertainly.
Hiss hiss, "There he is!"
The female apprentice, who had recaptured Malo-Haige's scent, immediately drove the swarm of bees towards a bush not far away.
Seeing this, the other two Black Bone Forest Apprentices, who were already impatient with this "cat and mouse" game, also immediately rushed into the bushes, preparing to take him down in one go—
"Damn it, are your puppets reliable or not? He's not there at all!"
"Impossible, my puppets won't sense incorrectly!"
Looking at the stout apprentice who had retreated from the bushes alone, the female apprentice once again drove the crimson puppet snakes on her body to wander and crawl towards the depths of the swamp.
"Have you checked under the swamp?"
"Of course—not."
Whoosh, the wind howled. The Wizard hood originally worn on the female apprentice's head was blown off by a strange eerie wind, revealing a very ordinary but abnormally pale and sickly face.
As the surrounding scene became increasingly blurry, the stout apprentice standing in front of the female apprentice suddenly disappeared, replaced by an exquisite face so beautiful it could make people forget to breathe, carrying unparalleled Charm, reflected in the female apprentice's unfocused pupils.
And as that face gradually magnified, a strong sense of crisis made the female apprentice's continuously sinking consciousness,
struggle for only a moment before immediately becoming clear.
But feeling the killing intent close at hand, almost without thinking, the word "Surrender" immediately blurted out from the female apprentice's mouth, and her body, at the moment the command took effect, directly exited the Swamp Secret Realm.
"Only two people are left—"
Jia Na, who quickly dealt with the Black Bone Forest female apprentice using Mind Enchantment combined with mirror illusion, manipulated the emerald green Wizard's Hand to pick up the token that had fallen to the ground.
Immediately, her gaze shifted slightly, looking at the other two Black Bone Forest male apprentices in the distance who were talking to the mirror illusion "female apprentice" condensed by the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon. The emotions in Jia Na's eyes couldn't help but be somewhat obscure and difficult to discern.
"How are your injuries? Can you continue fighting?"
At this moment, Malo-Haige, who had been saved, after simply treating his wounds with water-based Witchcraft, in his eyes as he looked at Jia Na, besides heartfelt gratitude, there was also a trace of awe towards Jia Na's unfathomable methods.
"I'm fine now, thank you for helping me."
"You're welcome—but their tokens—"
"Naturally, they are all yours, Miss Jia Na—Next, I will cooperate with you to snatch all the tokens from the other two as well."
"Okay."
Looking at Malo-Haige's very understanding demeanor, Jia Na's face showed a standard social smile.
Then, she turned her head and looked at the two Black Bone Forest Apprentices not far away who were still searching for Ma Ge-Hai Luo like headless flies. A somewhat dangerous meaning couldn't help but show in Jia Na's expression.
"Logically, Black Wizard Apprentices rarely walk together—I didn't expect to actually encounter three this time..."
