Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 142 Farewell!

The decaying, monstrous body had mostly sunk into the swamp.

All that remained exposed on the surface of the marsh was a huge skeleton that had been stripped of its flesh and blood.

The bone blades I wielded flew through the air, yet they couldn't scrape all the flesh off its body.

Ronan wasn't greedy.

Looking at the mountain of flesh and skin of the four-legged creatures piled up on the edge of the swamp, he tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

These are all rare materials; I can not only use them for research, but also sell them for magic stones.

He carried two chunks of meat, skin and all, to Ba Quan.

Ba Quan took it and happily put it into his storage bag.

To reap rewards without doing anything—how could such a good thing happen to me?

Sure enough, Bai Ye was right; following him was pure money-making.

Brother Yezi, I'm willing to let you do whatever you want with my little fist!

Ba Quan's eyes were practically sparkling with admiration as he looked at Ronan.

Fortunately, Ronan didn't see this, otherwise there would definitely have been some misunderstanding.

It took him quite a while to collect all the pieces of meat.

Then, turning to ask, "What about the surrounding gravity?"

Once the topic turned to business, Ba Quan immediately returned to normal. "We can't get out, but this tactic won't last long. Without the Corrupt Beast, we just need to wait a while."

.

Upon hearing this, Ronan's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully, "It's not that simple—"

"You mean those two will come back?" Ba Quan immediately understood what he meant.

Ronan nodded: "And he'll be back very soon."

"Those two damn bastards, I should have attacked them sooner."

Ba Quan gritted his teeth and said, "This corrupt monstrous creature was clearly driven here."

"Hmm, it seems they want to use this big guy to kill us, and then come back to deal with it."

Ronan had previously learned through the mental realm that the two would return here again.

"We'd better prepare a surprise for them—"

He chuckled sinisterly and pulled out several small crystal balls.

Ba Quan was puzzled as to why Ronan had taken out so many crystal balls, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that these crystal balls were filled with violent elemental energy.

These aren't crystal balls at all; they're clearly concentrated element balls!

This item is criticized for its shortcomings, such as difficulty in hitting enemies, scarcity, extremely low cost-effectiveness, and ease of detection by mental energy.

But its power is real.

Once detonated, virtually no one below a certain class can defend against it.

If one is like this, imagine how many there are!

"Hey! Be careful!"

When Ba Quan saw Ronan casually toss the dangerous item on the ground, completely unconcerned about whether it would be bumped or knocked over, he was immediately terrified.

"It's okay, I'm very experienced with this stuff."

97

Ronan said casually, looking as if he had everything under control.

"Why do you keep doing all this stuff?"

Ba Quan asked, puzzled, "The elemental energy inside this thing is so obvious; a simple scan with mental power would have detected it. How could it possibly have blasted the opponent?"

"Isn't there a ready-made way to cover it up? —" Ronan took out a piece of meat that looked like a mixed-breed animal, skin and head still attached.

Ba Quan immediately realized.

Yes, the skin of the Qilin can block spiritual detection.

If you wrap these powerful, concentrated elemental spheres in an outer layer, even if you put them right in front of someone, they won't be able to guess what's inside.

They're practically natural trap partners.

"What about us?" Ba Quan thought of the key to setting up an ambush.

The other party also possesses mental power; once they discover that the two of them are unharmed, even the most ingenious trap will be useless.

"Do you have magic that can block detection?" Ronan asked.

Ba Quan shook his head blankly.

"Then you'll just have to lie further away and cover yourself with some skin—" Ronan said helplessly, spreading his hands.

"Alright then————"

Ba Quan walked to the farthest point and found a pile of bones that was almost within the gravity field.

Using the skeleton as cover, he lay down directly.

Immediately, he took out one or two pieces of flesh that looked like a strange creature from his storage bag, which he had obtained without any effort.

Although the flesh and skin were precious, they were filled with the putrid stench unique to the swamp.

The thought of having to come into close contact with those two lumps of flesh made him feel nauseous.

However disgusting it was, Ba Quan still pinched his nose and covered his body with the two lumps of skin.

The two lumps of flesh were spread out completely, just enough to completely cover his entire body.

Wait, what are the lengths and sizes of these two lumps of meat?

Isn't that just right?

Ba Quan suddenly sat up and looked at Ronan, who was setting a trap.

Brother Ye gave me these two pieces of meat, could it be just for now?

"What's wrong?"

Ronan noticed that Ba Quan, who had been lying down and hiding, had sat up again, and couldn't help but ask.

"You—" Ba Quan hesitated, then said instead, "I have a lying position here that suits your body shape."

"No need, I'll just find a pile of bones to squat in," Ronan replied.

He was afraid that if he went too far away, and something unexpected happened, he wouldn't have time to finish the job.

"Um?"

Ba Quan keenly caught Ronan's choice of words, "squatting," and immediately asked, "How can you cover your skin when you're squatting?"

Are you suggesting I just create a pile of flesh and bury myself in it?

"Oh, I have a way to shield myself."

As Ronan spoke, he casually turned the hidden function of the Truth Mask to its maximum.

In an instant, his entire figure disappeared from Ba Quan's mental perception.

excuse me.

Ba Quan obediently lay back down.

Ronan arranged five concentrated elemental spheres, sandwiched between two pieces of flesh, making the whole thing look like a well-fitting package.

The shielding effect of the package is excellent.

He scanned back and forth with his mental domain several times, but still couldn't find the condensed elemental sphere encased inside.

Then he took out the black robe and mask that had been given to me and put them on me.

If you just leave this package here, the other party definitely won't notice it. You need a reason to attract them to come here.

And at that time...

Within Ronan's mental perception range, two familiar figures, one fat and one thin, appeared.

He quickly ran to another pile of bones in the distance, leaving the rest behind.

"Those two should be long dead by now, right? They've been driven away by that corrupt monster for so long."

This time, the fat man did not throw anything else into the swamp he passed.

"Don't be careless. With those two's strength, they probably won't be able to exhaust the Qilin's stamina much."

The skinny man gave a reminder, but his expression was more relaxed than before, as if he was very familiar with what was to come.

The two seemed to possess something that made them immune to gravity, and they returned to this place in no time.

There are obvious signs of battle here, indicating that the Qilin has also suffered considerable losses.

The skinny man nodded in satisfaction.

Suddenly, a figure carrying a package appeared in his line of sight.

The figure was completely concealed in a black robe, wearing an unidentified mask, and staggered, seemingly suffering from a serious injury.

The fat man made a move instantly, sending a stream of corrupt liquid attack flying like an arrow.

"Don't----"

The skinny man was worried it was some kind of trap, but it was too late to stop it.

Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

The attack pierced through the man in black robes, who collapsed to the ground, seemingly on his deathbed.

The skinny man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He and the fat man walked up to the man in black robes, their eyes drawn to the package on the ground.

"What is this?"

The fat man picked up the package, only to find that his mental energy hadn't detected it.

"Don't!"

The skinny man also sensed this and immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

However, the fat man had already opened the package—

boom.

At the edge of the desolate swamp of bones, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, sending dust billowing into the sky.
