"From now on, the Night Guard may come to attack us at any time. Everyone, listen up. The worst Night Guard members are at the Earth level. In our team, only Brother Rufu and I are at the Earth level. The others must remain vigilant at all times.
"
"Understood!" everyone replied in unison.
Then everyone got on the hippogriff and started to set off. At the same time, a group of people near Sand City were observing Wood and their every move through magic. One of the magicians said:
"Do you think they can pass the test?"
Another person said:
"How can the successor decided by the Holy Lord be a loser? Of course he can!"
And another person said:
"But that illusion formation was left behind by the Holy Master back then. With these inexperienced children, can they really pass it?"
These people suddenly found that they had no reason to defend Wood and the others. They sincerely hoped that these children would pass the test, but they had seen how powerful the phantom array was. At this time, none of them had confidence in these twelve people.
.
At this moment, a fat figure slowly walked out of the sand city. If Wood were here, he would definitely be surprised, because this man is the richest man in the Divine Grace Continent, Gary Walker, the God of Wealth, known as the Divine Grace.
He looked at the magic mirror and said:
"Haha! Why, don't you have confidence in them? Let me tell you, let alone this illusion formation, they can come and go freely even in the illusion of the City of Miracles, because they are not ordinary people, and the Holy Lord's vision is not wrong."
When Gary finished saying this, the magician who asked the question first said doubtfully:
"The Holy Lord's vision is correct, but Wood and the others are a group of children after all."
Gary looked into the depths of the desert and said:
"I know they are children, and now I can only hope that they can pass through that illusion smoothly, okay! Let's start taking action!"
The people riding the hippogriffs were not walking very fast in the desert. Maybe they were all worried about an ambush in the desert! But the people's journey was extremely smooth, which made Wood even more worried. There is a saying in China.
, the calm before the storm is the prelude to disaster.
Everyone knows that the Night Guard is going to carry out an assassination, but now there is no trace. Are they ambushing on the edge of the Fire City, or have they given up on the arrest mission? Impossible! The Night Guard always puts their mission first and will not give up until they achieve their goals.
.
Then Wood asked:
"How long have we been gone?"
The eldest brother Rufu looked up at the sky and said:
"It's strange. I feel like I've been walking for 5 to 6 hours, but why is the sun still in the center of the sky?"
Shilong then said:
"It's normal. When I was young, I heard from the elders in the town that because of the heat in the desert, it felt like a long time had passed, but in fact it didn't take long at all."
Thrall continued:
"At first glance, it's all sand, and there are no buildings or anything like that. You can only guess how long you've walked! So you feel like time flies!"
Rufu took a sip of water and then said:
"This damn weather, isn't this deadly!"
After hearing this, Wood said:
"Everyone, stop and have a rest. We'll be on our way again later!"
Everyone got off the hippogriff, and Yuna handed Wood a bottle of water. Wood took a big sip, then looked at the sky and said:
"It's really weird!"
Yuna took the kettle and asked:
"Brother Wood, do you think the Night Guard will hunt us down?"
Wood asked doubtfully:
"Why do you ask?"
Yuna explained:
"I heard that the members of the Night Guard are all residents of Lakeside Town. The person who spoke that day, his accent is very familiar to me. I must know him. Do you think someone we know can attack us?"
Wood frowned and didn't answer. After a long time, Laura said:
"I think they will, because this is the duty of the Night Guard."
Wood stood up and said:
"Let's get on the road! If they come, let them come. I just want to try my newly learned combat skills."
Just when Wood was about to turn over on his horse, he suddenly felt a murderous aura around him. Wood subconsciously dodged, and a sharp blade was inserted directly into the belly of the hippogriff. If Wood did not dodge, the sharp blade would undoubtedly be inserted into the belly of the hippogriff.
On Wood's head.
Wood then took out the flame knife and slashed horizontally, but there was nothing behind him. Only then did everyone realize that Wood's hippogriff had begun to spurt blood crazily, and it looked like it would not survive!
Everyone gathered together and looked around, back to back. It was quiet. Except for the sound of wind and the sound of sand flowing, there was no sound anymore. But how did the other party sneak over?
Wood looked around nervously. He was also very different, and then asked:
"Who knows what this is about?"
No one knew how to answer. After a while, Rufu said:
"This should be elemental stealth. I heard that assassins in ancient times could sneak in water, earth, and fire, but these have been lost!"
Thrall continued:
"Yes, the current stealth technique is to sneak in the wind. This is the only technique that has been passed down since ancient times. But how did they learn the earth element stealth technique?"
Beads of sweat flowed from Wood's head. This was bad! Wood had never thought that the Night Guard would be so powerful. If they could reveal themselves, it would not be a problem. But if they did not reveal themselves and just attacked like this, they would
No one can survive.
Wood couldn't help but closed his eyes. His consciousness was still so quiet, and there was nothing in the air. Wood increased his mental strength, but still found nothing. At this moment, Paul behind Wood wailed, and everyone hurriedly turned to look at him.
, only to see a sword wound on Paul's thigh.
Paul gritted his teeth and endured the pain and said:
"I moved too fast and didn't see clearly!"
Wood turned his head angrily and looked around, wondering what kind of strength the other party had, and how fast it was. Could it be that the Night Guards would not be able to kill them all if they wanted to?
Then Elaine knelt down to treat Paul's injury, and Laura shouted:
"Protect Elaine and don't let Elaine get hurt."
But just as these words were spoken, a ray of light slashed towards Elaine. Laura quickly waved her sword to block, Shi Long threw a flying knife, Andy then cast fire magic to cover the ground, and then the opponent appeared.
Born type, everyone then attacked the person with a tacit understanding, but under the joint attack of everyone, the person did not suffer any damage.
Wood observed the surroundings cautiously. Fortunately, the Night Guard only had one person like this. If there were a few more people like this, I'm afraid...
Just as Wood was thinking, he suddenly received an attack on his back. This attack directly staggered Wood. Then Wood felt a burning pain in his back. Wood turned back to look at the attacker. The man did not hide.
Standing up, Wood propped up his body, then brandished the flame knife and began to attack the man.
Just when Wood was about to come into contact with that person, the voice of the soul body suddenly came from Wood's consciousness space:
"Stop, do you want to die? This is an illusion!"
As soon as Wood's attack stopped, the opponent kicked Wood away. Wood spit out a mouthful of blood and thought in his heart:
"This is an illusion? Do you know what kind of illusion this is? How to break this illusion?"
The opponent kicked Wood away and did not intend to give Wood a chance. The man then stepped forward to attack, but Wood repeatedly dodged and did not fight back.
The soul body continued:
"This illusion is a real version of the mental illusion. As long as you think in your heart, whatever you think will appear in this illusion! The more afraid you are of the illusion, the more powerful your opponent will be!"
Wood asked while dodging:
"I asked how to break this illusion!"
The soul body calmed down for a while and said:
"The brave are fearless, and the fearless are invincible!"
Wood understood. Just when the opponent slashed his sword towards Wood's head, Wood stopped dodging and looked at the man and yelled "Broken!"
Wood's voice was very loud, penetrating the attacker's body like a sound wave, while the opponent's sword was still above Wood's head, and then the attacker's body suddenly exploded, instantly turning into flying sand and blending into the desert.
Then Wood looked back at the battlefield over there. At this time, everyone was injured, and now only Yuna was left to fight mentally against that person.
Wood shouted hurriedly:
"In this illusion, that person does not exist. Yuna, stop attacking, meditate, and calm down your heart!"
Yuna was originally using her mental power to control the man. This was also the strongest opponent Yuna had ever encountered. After hearing what Wood said, Yuna directly withdrew her mental power, then closed her eyes, and then the man rushed towards Yuna, but
Just when the man jumped up to attack, the man's body suddenly exploded and turned into fine sand, floating in the air.
