Wizard Immortal

Chapter 140 Scarlet Eyes

"Noble, I suppose."

Standing to the side, Adir walked over and spoke to the gray-robed girl.

Behind her, having confirmed her suspicions, the gray-robed girl's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth slightly, but in the end, she didn't know what to say.

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Standing to the side, Adir also had no interest in speaking. He simply placed the things in his hands on the wooden table next to him, preparing to study them carefully.

A half-meter-long black raven was placed on an old wooden table by Adir; its body, which was mostly corroded, was emitting a foul stench.

A very faint smell of decay emanated from the crow's corpse, which Adir could clearly sense.

He was really interested in the structure of this crow. Even though half of its body had begun to rot, it could still maintain its vitality and even had considerable strength.

Thinking of this, under the fearful gaze of the gray-robed girl beside him, Adir drew his sword and cut the half-meter-long black raven into several pieces.

"Unknown parasitic bacteria detected; it is recommended to stay away..."

As Adir attempted to touch the rotting parts of the raven, the mechanical voice of the chip in his mind sounded again.

His expression remained unchanged as he rapidly gathered energy particles in his hands, quickly removing the traces of putrid liquid from his fingers before beginning to examine the rest of the crow's carcass.

"It should have been just an ordinary crow, but after spending a long time in that polluted environment, it slowly turned into this."

After conducting tests for a while, Adil came to this conclusion.

He gently reached out and gouged out the eyeball of the black raven in front of him, then crushed it softly.

With a soft cracking sound, the scarlet eyeball burst open, revealing the murky white liquid inside.

"Unknown substance detected. Taking this during meditation will enhance the effects of meditation..." At this moment, the voice of the chip in my mind rang out again.

Hearing the prompts from the chip's mechanical interface, Adir was somewhat surprised: "As expected of another world, just a casual exploration yields such a harvest."

With that in mind, after confirming there were no problems through the chip, Adir closed his eyes and threw another scarlet raven eyeball into his mouth.

A bitter and nauseating feeling came over me, making me feel like vomiting.

Feeling this sensation, Adir remained calm and immediately entered a meditative state.

A dozen minutes later, he opened his eyes again, a hint of joy in them: "The speed of meditation is much faster than usual, and the effect is much better than I expected."

Are there many of these crows?

Standing still, looking at the crow carcass on the wooden table in front of him, Adir asked calmly.

"Huh? You mean that kind of corrosive crow on the table?"

The silence was broken by Adir's voice. The gray-robed girl opposite was taken aback at first, and then she reacted: "There are quite a lot of them."

"These corrosive crows like to circle around various forbidden areas, and since they are both dangerous and inedible, not many people want to encounter them."

The girl said this after hearing Adir's words.

Adir nodded: "What's your name?"

"Ariel," the girl said quickly, her eyes secretly glancing at Adir with a hint of anticipation.

To her disappointment, however, Adir merely nodded and did not react in any other way.

Silence fell again.

Under the girl's puzzled gaze, Adir stood quietly beside the wooden table, studying the corroded raven on it, showing no reaction to anything else.

After a while, it got even darker outside.

The girl first took out some things from the side and pressed them tightly against the door, locking it securely. Then she took out some relatively clean-looking blankets from the room next door and laid out a simple wooden bed in a relatively clean spot.

After doing all that, she went to a small room to the side, closed the iron door, and seemed to be preparing to rest.

Watching the girl's actions quietly, Adir remained calm and showed no reaction, simply continuing with what he was doing.

As the outside light gradually dimmed, the surrounding light slowly disappeared as well.

Upon seeing this, Adir simply waved his hand, and a few energy particles slowly gathered, forming a small ball of light around him, illuminating the surroundings.

After doing all that, he looked toward the gate.

As night fell, something seemed to change in the outside world, with various low, guttural sounds constantly rising, creating a sense of unease.

In addition, at this point, the surrounding negative energy particles seemed to become active, reacting with the weak force field around them and causing some effects.

Standing on the old wooden table, Adir faintly sensed several beings with strange force fields passing by the door through his powerful mental energy. One of them even gently bumped into the door, making a slight creaking sound.

boom!boom!

A soft clattering sound suddenly came from upstairs, like the sound of a basketball being bounced, echoing repeatedly in the quiet corner.

Hearing this voice, Ariel's face was filled with fear in the dark room. She covered her face tightly with the clothes she was wearing, and her whole body seemed to be trembling.

Standing quietly in the living room, Adir sensed that a strange aura within the building was becoming increasingly active, carrying an inexplicable force field.

Sensing all this, he remained calm and quietly turned to look behind him.

Behind him, bathed in light, stood a woman in a long black dress, her face cold and gloomy, staring at Adir with intense resentment.

Her face was terrifying, with most of it rotting. Her black dress was also tattered, with faint traces of burning. Overall, she looked like a vengeful ghost, constantly wandering inside the high-rise building.

Being stared at by a woman who resembles a vengeful ghost in the middle of the night would probably send chills down even the bravest person's spine.

"Was it that strange force field and the residual radiation inside the high-rise building that created some unknown effect, causing the current situation?"

Stared at by the woman opposite him, whose face was full of resentment and who looked like a ghost, Adir remained calm, only frowning.

As a wizard, he could naturally see the truth of the phenomenon before him; it was not a real ghost, but merely a strange image and illusion.

This high-rise building was once occupied by a monster, leaving a deep imprint, a unique force field and radiation, and even engraving some things from the past.

The scene before us could be described as an illusion, or it could be described as a unique and eerie phenomenon created by force fields and radiation.

Under normal circumstances, this scene is just an illusion, at most a bit scary. But if certain conditions are met, this scene is probably more than just an illusion; it could actually kill someone.

From Adir's current perspective, the girl named Ariel is probably not far from meeting the requirements.

A dark figure appeared ahead.

Adir raised his head slightly and saw the black-clad female monster slowly walking towards him, now only a meter or so away.

She stretched out her right hand, which looked charred, and reached for Adir's chest.

Standing still, close to the female monster, watching her slowly extending her arm, Adir remained calm, observing her movements without any change in expression.

A ripple appeared around them.

Before Adir, the female monster maintained her venomous expression, her hideous and twisted face staring intently at Adir, though half of her body was gone and slowly dissipating.

Soon, her body completely disappeared, along with the occasional thumping sounds.

Standing still, watching this scene unfold, Adir showed no surprise whatsoever.

Although the female monster in front of him looked terrifying, she was essentially just a product of force field and radiation reaction. She might be very lethal to ordinary people, but she was nothing to Adir.

He didn't even need to use magic; he only needed to use his powerful mental strength to manipulate the surrounding forces and interrupt the original reaction, which would make the female monster in front of him disappear.

As the strange phenomenon disappeared, the surroundings returned to calm.

The night passed quickly.

The next day, Ariel carefully opened her door and walked into the dilapidated hall, where she saw Adir practicing with a sword.

Adir held a black longsword in his hand and calmly practiced for a while in the spacious living room. Although it was only basic swordsmanship and the movements were slow, the swift and fierce impact still made people's hearts jump.

Watching Adir's movements and the black longsword in his hand, Ariel stared intently, her eyes filled with intense longing.

After a while, Adir stopped training and quietly put his sword back on his waist.

Although he was already a wizard, he still insisted on training for a short period of time every day to ensure that his swordsmanship skills would not become rusty.

"How did you sleep last night?"

With a sword at his waist, Adir walked to a wooden table and casually spoke to Ariel, who was walking out of the room.

"I slept a little more comfortably than usual."

As she listened to Adir's words, Ariel touched her hair and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Did anything strange happen to you last night?"

"If the strange thing you're referring to is a terrifying woman suddenly appearing in the middle of the night, then it probably is."

Standing still, listening to Ariel's words, Adir didn't turn around and spoke directly.

bump!

A soft sound came from behind.

Seemingly startled by Adir's words, Ariel's legs buckled instinctively, and she fell backward to the ground with a heavy thud.

Her face was filled with terror. Ignoring the pain radiating from below, she looked at Adir in disbelief: "You really saw it?"
