Diary of a Dead Wizard - Chapter 532

Chapter 527: Success or Failure

The two tiptoed, trying not to make any noise, and hurried through the rugged corridor like a cave.

Before passing the room where the old witch usually rested, both Ou Qili and Thor were so nervous that they stopped breathing.

Fortunately, the worst situation did not happen, and the two passed through the old witch’s room smoothly.

Until Ou Qili used potions to suppress the warning witchcraft array at the entrance of the cave and escaped with Thor, the old witch still did not appear behind them.

The two carefully passed through the cave without triggering the alarm, and finally left the old witch’s base.

It was late at night outside, and the starry sky above added a little brilliance to the dim world.

In front of them were several small hills with gentle terrain and barren wilderness.

Seeing the scenery outside and looking at the cave behind him, Thor felt a little emotional. They had been locked in a cave for a long time.

When they left the cave and looked back, they found that when they looked from the outside, the cave had become a fist-sized rat hole. And there was no magical fluctuation emanating from it.

It seemed that the old witch used this method to avoid the people chasing her.

They ran all the way to the nearest hillock and hid behind a few lonely aloe trees.

“Okay, let’s separate now.” Ou Qili, whose chest kept rising and falling, suddenly said.

“Separate? But…” Thor was interrupted before he finished speaking.

“Since we are out, it is natural for each of us to escape based on our own abilities. Now is not the time to relax. The old witch is very good at finding people. I asked you to improve your strength as soon as possible, not just to get out of the cage. The real fear is the subsequent pursuit. If we are together, the target will be too big and it will be easier to be caught. I’m going to escape that way, remember to change direction.” Ou Qili’s lips collided quickly and explained a few words to Thor.

Then his whole body disappeared into the black mist and floated away in the direction he said.

Thor looked at the afterimage of Ou Qili’s witchcraft, but he stood where he was and did not run away immediately.

He put his hand on his right arm that Ou Qili had just grabbed, and said thoughtfully: “So… which direction should I run?”

…

When running away, Ou Qili had been very calm, but in fact his heart was about to jump out. He

had been locked up by the old witch for three years, and he longed for freedom all the time, and was threatened by the shadow of death all the time.

He had been planning this escape plan for more than a year.

The witchcraft materials he asked Thor to steal were only a small part of them. As early as a year ago, he began to secretly hide the materials for future needs.

It’s just that some important materials are difficult to get, and the old witch will always be watching him from behind. If it weren’t for Thor and him cooperating with each other, he would not be able to get the last few materials.

Now he finally succeeded in running out!

Ou Qili, who had been running for most of the night, stopped at a col, took out a plant root that could restore magic from behind, and swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

Such untreated materials are actually toxic if swallowed directly, but Ou Qili doesn’t want to waste time now.

In the past three years, he had accumulated a lot of poison in his body, and he could only wait until he regained his freedom to slowly solve it.

And now what he had to do was to race against time. He had to rush to the nearest wind demon’s territory before the old witch used the magic mirror to find him.

As long as he found the wind demon’s subordinates and reported the old witch’s whereabouts, he would not only be safe from now on, but also get a considerable reward.

It just takes three days to rush from here to the nearest territory of the wind demon.

There are too many uncertainties during this period.

Fortunately, there is someone who can help him delay time.

Ou Qili waited for the recovery of magic power, turned his head and looked into the distance, gradually revealing a twisted smile.

“Thor, run quickly, use all your strength, try all kinds of methods, the faster the better, the farther the better! This way, the old witch can spend more time looking for you by following the breath on your body.”

When Ou Qili prepared the potion, he actually prepared another material.

When this material is applied to the body, it can conceal the breath at first, but if it is not wiped off with a special potion within twelve hours, it will begin to emit a very obvious smell of fireworks.

The old witch who always uses this material to avoid being hunted is naturally very familiar with this smell.

When she wakes up, she will naturally catch Thor, who has a small tail left.

This will also extend the time for Ou Qili to escape.

And Ou Qili deliberately applied this material on his arm when

he pulled Thor out of the cage. As for the spot on his hand, it was naturally washed off when he escaped from Thor’s sight.

As long as Thor can survive for a day, Ou Qili is sure to run to the territory of the wind demon!

…

Three days later.

Ou Qili hid in a bush, looking at a settlement in front.

There are no houses made of bricks, stones or wood in the settlement. Instead, there are huge tents.

The tent in the center is the largest, and the other tents are built around it.

Because the no man’s land is a place where danger may occur at any time, all the subordinates of the wind demon will choose this kind of tent that is easy to disassemble and move as their base.

“This should be the territory of the wind demon. Looking at the size of the tent in the middle… there should be a second-level wizard stationed here.”

Ou Qili was overjoyed. If there was only one wizard stationed here, it would at most make the old witch’s pursuit of him more concealed, but it would not stop the other party.

But if there was a second-level wizard stationed here, the old witch would definitely consider whether it would attract more enemies before coming in.

“Now there are only the last 300 meters left.” Ou Qili did not relax his vigilance. While moving forward carefully, he tried to cover his body with a gray-yellow outer robe covered with sand.

He was coated with the material that could cover his breath, and he would wash it off immediately when the time came.

Now he has just applied new material, and there is still plenty of time.

“Just wait until I see that second-level wizard…”

Suddenly, two people came out of the settlement, talking and laughing.

Ou Qili did not dare to show up immediately, but squatted aside and performed a concealment spell.

The two people exuded the fluctuations of wizard apprentices. Perhaps because they were not far from the settlement, they did not maintain the necessary vigilance at this time, and they were still talking about recent news.

It happened to be related to the old witch.

“I heard that someone found the trace of the old witch.”

“Ha, Master Feng Yao has sent more people to catch her. When the old witch is caught, we don’t have to worry about the people around us disappearing without knowing it.”

At this time, the first person suddenly lowered his voice, “Do you know, it is said that the old witch actually hurt Master Feng Yao when she appeared last time…”

The voices of the two people were getting lower and lower, and Ou Qili could no longer hear clearly.

But based on the news he just got, he could report the trace of the old witch here.

Maybe the second-level wizard here will reward him for it!

Ou Qili’s eyes were shining, and he was about to get up from the ground.

Suddenly, his legs went numb and he couldn’t move at all.

Ou Qili’s heart was beating wildly, and a bad thought came to his mind.

He opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but when he really opened his mouth, he only made a sound that was not much louder than breathing.

“No way? No way!”

“No way! No way! No way!!!”

The next second, the soil under Ou Qili’s feet loosened, and the whole person fell down.

“Who is it?” The two apprentices who were just whispering to each other suddenly found something unusual.

“Humph, sometimes being too alert is not a good thing.”

A gloomy voice sounded, and then the flesh and blood of the two apprentices began to roll down, as if an invisible knife was cutting their bodies quickly, not even sparing their skeletons!

Soon, everything returned to peace.

Ou Qili lay in a deep pit and felt a warm liquid dripping from his head, slowly soaking his face.

“Are you running fast?” The old witch pressed on Ou Qili’s back.

She lowered her head, and the little finger on her braid just touched Ou Qili’s nose.

“It’s over!” Ou Qili gritted his teeth, feeling extremely desperate.

He lost the bet.

“That bastard boy is really useless. He didn’t even last a day!”

He couldn’t help but hate Thor who cooperated with him. He felt that the little wizard was only good at research and was useless in other aspects.

The old witch heard Ou Qili’s mumbling and slowly grinned, “Hehe, what, did you escape with Thor at that time?”

Ou Qili was startled. Why would the old witch ask that?

The old witch’s voice continued to ring in his ears, “Then do you know…that boy didn’t run away at all?”
