Wizard Immortal

Chapter 143 Forbidden Land

"Sir! What do we do now?"

As they galloped along the road, a black-robed guard looked at Thor and spoke, his face somewhat ferocious.

Protected by a group of black-robed guards, Thor glanced at Adir and his companion in the distance, and felt the approaching tremors behind him. He gritted his teeth: "It's too late to go in any other direction now. Let's charge straight there!"

"Since they've come to the wilderness to die, they might as well help us hold off that monster behind us!"

Thor glanced briefly at the monster with golden fur behind him, and felt a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth and spoke.

Hearing his words, the others remained silent, clearly showing no intention of objecting.

They were completely terrified of the monster behind them.

They brought at least dozens of elite warriors with them when they came to the wilderness, but after encountering this monster, they were all wiped out in a short time. Only a few of them managed to escape and were then chased down by the monster in a fit of rage.

Given the monster's ferocity, once caught, it would only be torn to pieces.

"Lord Adier!"

Seeing the several black-robed figures returning towards them from afar, Ariel stood up and spoke somewhat uneasily to Adir.

These people looked very unusual, and based on her experience, there was a high chance they were going to get into trouble.

Even though she had confidence in Adir, a sense of crisis still made her stand up and remind him.

Hearing Ariel's words, Adir silently stood up and looked into the distance.

With his eyesight, he could see the distant scene very clearly, and at this moment he also saw the monster chasing behind the other party.

He was well aware of the other party's intentions, but he didn't bother to argue with them.

Silently, he drew the longsword from his waist and walked to Ariel's side. He shielded her behind him and stood still, watching the figure in the distance rush towards them.

Without the slightest hesitation, upon reaching Adir's location, the knights rode past him without a second thought, offering no warning whatsoever.

Roar! ! !

A ferocious roar came from behind, and then a shadow slowly covered the spot.

Under Adir's watchful gaze, a furious ape over four meters tall noticed them and charged rapidly toward him, its massive body causing violent air currents in the air.

"The sound is getting quieter, what's going on?"

On the other side, riding his horse along the road, Thor listened to the sounds behind him growing fainter and fainter, and he was somewhat puzzled.

He knew, of course, that with the monster's power, those two people couldn't hold him off for long. At most, they could only distract him and delay him for a short time.

However, the howling of the monster behind them seemed to grow fainter and fainter, which made them feel rather strange.

"Has that monster already killed enough, which is why it hasn't chased after us yet?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and doubt.

"My lord! Look behind you!" A horrified voice rang out from beside him.

Beside Thor, a black-robed guard rode his horse and looked back with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Following his voice, the others instinctively looked behind them, only to witness a scene that horrified them.

boom!!!

A loud crash sounded in front of me.

Standing quietly in place, Adir's expression was calm as he directly slashed his opponent away with his sword.

The mutated monster before them possessed considerable strength, comparable to some top-tier knights, but for Adir, it was nothing special.

Under Ariel's almost fanatical gaze from behind, Adir slashed his opponent away with his sword, and then a point of silver light quickly appeared, leaving a sword mark.

A head twice the size of a normal person flew out, splattering blackish-red blood everywhere and covering the ground.

Watching this scene quietly, Adir's expression remained calm as he silently sheathed his sword, as if he had done something trivial.

From a distance, watching this scene, Thor and his companions were completely stunned, seemingly unable to believe that such a thing could happen.

"Sir...sir."

Beside him, a black-robed guard stared blankly at Thor: "Should we keep running?"

Hearing this, Thor finally realized what was going on.

He was certain in his heart; after only a brief moment of thought, he made his decision.

"Stop right now! Let's go back!"

He slowly stopped his horse and gave instructions to the people around him.

"Unfortunately, sir, we just..."

Beside him, a black-robed guard looked troubled: "Now that we've seen that monster dealt with, if we go back immediately, won't the other side turn against you?"

The other side isn't stupid either; their behavior just now clearly showed they were using each other as a shield. Now that they've seen the other side resolve the trouble, they're turning their backs on each other, and it's hard to say they won't be targeted and eliminated by their opponents.

If they were the ones who were inexplicably schemed against, they would definitely seek revenge and make the other party understand the consequences of provoking them.

"Take it back anyway!"

On one side, Thor's expression was resolute as he firmly shook his head: "Don't you even know where you are?"

"In the wilderness, with just a few of us, it's uncertain whether we'll survive until tomorrow if we don't go back."

Upon hearing this, the people around were stunned for a moment, and after realizing what was happening, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The wilderness was far more dangerous than they had imagined. There was definitely more than one mutated monster like the one they had just encountered. If they were to run into it again in their current state, they would probably only face certain death.

"Judging from their appearance, although they are likely not locals, they should also be nobles."

Looking at his subordinates, Thor spoke again: "Since they are all nobles, there's a possibility of negotiation. Although it's equally dangerous, it's much better than encountering those monsters in the wilderness!"

With this thought in mind, they felt reassured and slowly spurred their horses toward the direction where Adir was.

"Lord Adir."

Seeing Thor and the others slowly approaching from afar, Ariel felt uneasy and quickly looked towards Adir.

"Just do your own thing."

On the other side, Adir stood in front of the mutated monster's corpse, listening to Ariel's words, and spoke without turning his head.

Adir was very interested in the corpse of the mutated monster in front of him.

"Although these mutated creatures do not have ancient bloodlines, they have some unique properties. If we use the blood of these creatures as raw materials, we should be able to develop some new medicines based on the existing formulas."

After quietly observing the corpse before him and conducting a rough examination, Adir muttered to himself.

"Unfortunately, the current environment is not suitable. Once things stabilize, we can capture some powerful mutated creatures specifically for this kind of experiment."

Standing still, after thinking for a moment, Adir gave up the idea of ​​studying it, but looked at the corpse in front of him with some regret: "What a pity about the corpse of this mutated creature."

Behind me, the low neighing of horses slowly approached.

As they approached Adir, Thor and his companions dismounted and cautiously approached him, seemingly afraid of arousing Adir's suspicion.

"My lord..."

Upon getting closer and seeing Adir's appearance, the group felt a slight sense of relief.

Although his appearance is somewhat different from the people here, he doesn't seem like someone who likes to kill. Instead, he seems like a well-mannered nobleman's son, so we should be able to negotiate with him.

However, looking at the corpse at the other person's feet, Thor remained vigilant, and said with some apology on his face, "We are deeply sorry for what just happened."

"We were chased by that monster for so long that we didn't have time to pay attention to the road ahead, which is why we accidentally brought that monster here."

He spoke with an apologetic expression and a very sincere tone.

However, to their dismay, Adir showed no reaction or reaction to his explanation.

Seeing Adir's reaction, he felt a pang of anxiety. He took a bag from the horse beside him and placed it on the ground: "To express our sincere apology, I am willing to compensate you."

Are you familiar with this area?

Ahead, hearing Thor's words behind him, Adir turned around and looked at him.

Upon hearing this, Thor was taken aback, then quickly nodded and said, "I am the baron of this area, and I am very familiar with many places in this region."

"Sir, if you need someone to guide you, we would be happy to do so."

He looked at Adir and said seriously.

Across from him, listening to Thor's words, Adir nodded: "I'd like to know if there are any forbidden areas around here?"

"Forbidden areas?" Thor asked, puzzled by Adir's words. "There are quite a few forbidden areas around here. I know of several."

"However, most of those forbidden areas contain some strange entities and are inherently very dangerous, so I have never been to the specific locations, I only know their general locations."

Standing there, after a moment's thought, Thor's expression turned somewhat strange, and his voice trembled slightly: "My lord, you don't actually intend to go into these forbidden areas, do you?"

Facing his gaze, Adir remained calm and nodded directly.

He did indeed want to go into the forbidden area to see if he could encounter anything strange and obtain some crystal cores.

Standing in front of him, listening to Adir nod, Thor's lips twitched unconsciously, unsure of what to say.

Not only him, but even Ariel, who had been silent all along, turned pale after hearing Adir's words, almost thinking that Adir had gone mad.

"All you need to do is take us to the outskirts of a few restricted areas nearby; you don't need to do anything else."

Looking at the expressions of Thor and the others, Adir also spoke up, not forcing them to do anything.
