Chapter 124 You fucking tricked me?!?!
Chapter 124 You fucking tricked me?!?!
Chapter 125 You fucking tricked me?!?!
The air at the edge of the Silent Forest seemed to freeze suddenly, becoming so thick and suffocating.
The black-haired wizard, in Hick's guise, stood still, his expression calm and undisturbed, as if the bizarre scene of the crows transforming into human form had nothing to do with him.
The energy fluctuations emanating from his body were stable and clear, indeed befitting a beginner-level wizard. It was this consistency between his outward appearance and his inner self that created a sharp contradiction with the "abnormal" way he appeared, leaving Bones and Lilith momentarily confused.
The soul fire in the bone eye sockets pulsed violently, and the withered knuckles gripped the trembling compass tightly.
The pointer stubbornly pointed to the cliff behind Hick, but the sudden appearance of the first-level wizard made the situation ambiguous.
Is it him? The energy levels don't match at all.
Is he protecting something? Or is this just a trap?
Lilith narrowed her naturally alluring eyes, her gaze sweeping over Hick's entire body like a probe.
Aside from those overly calm eyes, she couldn't see anything special. She parted her red lips slightly, her voice languidly scrutinizing: "Oh? Where did this little brother come from? Those crows earlier—did you cause them? Quite a unique entrance."
Her tone was light and airy, but her spiritual perception had already transformed into an invisible net, silently enveloping Hick, trying to capture every emotional fluctuation and the secrets deep within his soul.
Hick seemed completely oblivious to the invisible probe of the mind, nodding slightly and stating a fact in a calm voice: "Outsiders are not welcome here. Please leave."
Without any pleasantries or probing, he directly ordered them to leave.
There was no room for negotiation in his tone, as if the people standing in front of him were not two second-level wizards, but two apprentices who had recklessly trespassed into his private territory.
This attitude made Bone feel intensely irritated and offended.
He took a sudden step forward, his black robe billowing without wind, a chilling aura spreading out like a tide, attempting to force the other party into submission through the pressure of his rank: "Stop playing tricks! Who is your mentor? Tell him to come out and speak! The last trace of our target disappeared around here! Confess honestly, did you see any suspicious people or objects? Otherwise—"
The threat was laid bare, and the mental pressure of a second-level wizard crashed down on Hick like a tangible tsunami.
However, the oppressive aura that was enough to drive a first-level wizard to the brink of mental collapse vanished the moment it touched Hick's body, without causing the slightest ripple.
Hick's gaze remained unwavering, as if it were merely a gentle breeze.
This bizarre scene caused Bones and Lilith's expressions to change drastically.
Something is wrong!
This is definitely not right!
Even the most skilled first-level wizard in mental defense could never so easily and completely ignore the mental pressure of a second-level wizard!
Lilith's last trace of languor vanished, her eyes sharp as knives: "Little brother, you seem—not as simple as you appear?"
Hick finally turned his gaze to the two of them, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as a bottomless pool: "I said, please leave. This is the final warning."
His tone remained calm, yet it exuded a chilling coldness and decisiveness that sent a shiver down the spines of the two second-level wizards.
Bones looked at the compass in his hand, which was trembling almost madly, with suspicion and uncertainty, and then stared intently at the strange first-level wizard in front of him.
An absurd yet irresistible thought suddenly rushed into his mind:
Could it be that Vidis's target is related to this kid? Or perhaps he himself used some method to disguise his level?!
Once this idea takes root, it spreads wildly!
"Who exactly are you?!"
The voice of the bone suddenly became sharp, mixed with an undisguised urgency and greed.
"Hand over what you're hiding! Otherwise, don't blame us for taking it ourselves!"
He was almost certain that Hick was hiding a huge secret! Otherwise, all these strange occurrences couldn't be explained!
Lilith also realized the key point, and an excited yet dangerous glint flashed in her eyes. Her invisible mental power was highly concentrated, locking onto Hick like a venomous snake.
Faced with the sudden surge of hostility and almost tangible killing intent from the two level-two wizards, Hick sighed almost inaudibly, as if regretting something.
"It seems—the negotiations have failed," he muttered to himself, his tone genuinely tinged with regret.
"Ha, all pretense! I think you don't take us seriously at all! Since you won't listen to our politeness, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Seeing this, the bone knew there was no way to turn the tide, so it immediately stopped hiding.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the arena changed dramatically! Two astonishing auras erupted without warning!
A chilling, deathly silence descended, as if all things had withered away!
A dark and deep abyss, seemingly capable of extinguishing the soul!
Then-
Both Bones and Hick froze on the spot, their pupils contracting, their faces filled with disbelief.
The other party—how could they be level three?!
Damn! This isn't playing by the rules!
The two men, both exuding their full power, glared at each other, each seeing the same shock and astonishment in the other's eyes: "You fucking tricked me."
Lilith's expression also changed drastically, but she reacted extremely quickly. Almost at the same time, she stopped suppressing herself and revealed her powerful mental strength, showing that she was also a level three wizard!
At the edge of the Silent Forest, the air was completely frozen.
Just a moment ago, both sides thought they had the situation under control, but now they felt as if they had been slapped hard in the face, and were caught off guard and shocked.
The eerie green soul fire in the bone's eye sockets flickered wildly, almost leaping out!
Level three?! This kid, whose energy fluctuations were clearly only at level one, actually unleashed a genuine level three pressure!
That dark, profound, soul-freezing power could not be wrong!
Vidis's compass—is he himself the target?
A level three wizard so young?! How is that possible?!
The turmoil in Hick's heart was no less than that of his opponent.
He originally thought they were just two troublesome Level 2 opponents, and that he and Kabu's trump cards would be enough to handle them. He even considered them as good experimental material reserves.
But who would have thought that this sinister necromancer was actually a level three! And the witch next to him, who seemed to be his subordinate, also possessed level three power!
Two level-three wizards?!
Even with his strong will, Hick felt a chill run down his spine! This situation had completely exceeded his expectations and all his contingency plans!
Both sides were completely stunned by the sudden revelation of each other's cards. Their previous "crushing" mentality was instantly shattered, leaving only extreme vigilance, confusion, and the awkward predicament of being caught in a dilemma.
The scene fell into an eerie stalemate.
The terrifying pressure of three level-three wizards collided, squeezed, and probed each other silently in the air.
The surrounding space began to distort slightly, and the small pebbles on the ground silently turned into powder. The already twisted trees withered and weathered at a visible speed, as if all their vitality had been drained away in an instant!
The mere clash of their auras had already created a death trap!
"Who exactly are you?!"
The voice from the bone was extremely dry, filled with surprise and unprecedented solemnity, and the previous greed and eagerness were completely suppressed.
When facing an opponent of equal standing, any rash action could lead to devastating consequences.
Lilith completely abandoned all her seductive charm, her expression becoming incredibly serious, her spiritual energy as sharp as steel. She stared intently at Hick, trying to see through his true nature: "You've hidden it well enough! You even fooled us!"
Hick's mind raced.
Two level three wizards!
This is no longer a question of victory or defeat. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the commotion will be earth-shattering and will definitely attract the attention of the Silent Forest and even the entire Aikar region!
This completely contradicts his plan to lie low and develop!
Fighting must be avoided! At least, we can't afford to completely break off relations here!
"Who am I?"
Hick suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his voice cold.
"I'd like to ask you that. What is your purpose in trespassing into my Silent Forest without permission?"
Without hesitation, he pulled out the tiger skin from the Silent Forest.
This place is too close to the Silent Forest; if a large enough commotion is created, these two may not be able to escape unscathed.
"Are you from the Silent Forest?"
Both Bones and Lilith felt a chill run down their spines.
If the other party is indeed a level three wizard from the Silent Forest, then if our sneaking in is confirmed, we'll be in big trouble.
"Oh dear~ It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"
Lilith reacted quickly, a charming smile instantly spreading across her face, her voice soft and sweet.
"Little brother, don't be angry. We were just passing by, nothing more, absolutely no malicious intent~"
Beneath her sweet voice, an extremely secretive spiritual force, with a strong allure and aphrodisiac effect, like a colorless and odorless incense, quietly assailed Hick.
Lilith was, after all, a master at manipulating people's hearts and minds. After the initial shock, her keen senses picked up on a hint of discord!
The level-three pressure emanating from Hick was purely terrifying, but it seemed—
It lacks that sense of sophistication that comes with the passage of time, and has a subtle, almost imperceptible, "naivety" and "superficiality."
More importantly, her mental power, like the most sensitive detector, vaguely sensed a shadowy area to her side and behind, where a similarly level three energy source, cold, lifeless, and devoid of vitality, was hidden!
Just as Hick was about to use his momentum to suppress others, he suddenly realized something was wrong with his body!
His blood seemed to suddenly heat up, his heart pounded uncontrollably, and a primal and intense desire surged from the depths of his heart, frantically assaulting his rational defenses.
His gaze toward Lilith unconsciously took on an uncontrollable heat.
Dragons are inherently lustful!
Hick immediately realized the problem.
Although the Shadow Dragon bloodline fused within him has been relatively restrained, this primal instinct belonging to the dragon race still exists.
He had already had the system suppress these side effects, so why—
"Little brother~ don't suppress yourself~"
Lilith's voice grew sweeter and more seductive, like the whispers of lovers, each syllable striking the beat of desire.
"Come here~ come to your big sister~"
Each syllable contained a powerful force of mental manipulation, like invisible threads, wrapping around Hick's will, attempting to open a breach in his mental defenses, which had been weakened by the agitation of the dragon blood.
At the edge of the Silent Forest, a voice, sweet as honey yet harboring a deadly allure, surged like an invisible tide, wave after wave crashing against Hick's rational defenses.
The dragon instinct and whisper of desire within his Shadow Dragon bloodline were instantly amplified and ignited, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, a scorching torrent wildly washing over his will.
Hick's breath hitched slightly, and an uncontrollable heat spread rapidly in his eyes. He even subconsciously took a half-step forward.
The phantoms of dragon wings and horns flickered around him, as if they were about to appear uncontrollably.
A smug glint flashed in Lilith's eyes, her smile growing ever more alluring. Her mental seduction, like the finest spider silk, coiled around him, attempting to drag Hick's consciousness into the abyss of desire.
"That's right~ Relax a little~ Little brother~ Let your big sister take a good look at you————"
Her voice was like a hook, every word stirring up the most primal urges.
Just when it seemed like a critical moment!
A hint of disdain flashed deep in Hick's eyes!
