boy and bone

The forest was dark and quiet. Grai flicked a branch he picked up casually from the grass in his hand. His vision was not clear. Everything was just a vague outline in his eyes, but he didn't want to find it either. He used a flint to make a torch to illuminate himself, and when he saw the vigorously burning red-gold flame, he trembled from the soles of his feet.

And now his eyelids are heavy, he wants to quickly find a suitable tree top to sleep.For the first time, he thanked his body for being so small after being resurrected, which allowed him to crawl into any fox hole, not to mention the top of a tree, without hesitation.But the smell of the caves of those beasts was really annoying, and he didn't want to see a family of four beasts standing at the entrance of the cave every time he opened his eyes, staring at him with green round eyes.

On Gray's legs, wrists, and even his face, there are still tooth marks from the bites of those unknown beasts that look like cats and are twice as fierce as cats.Thinking about it was embarrassing enough, and from then on, Grai swore never to sleep in a hole again.

Gray was thinking about which nearby tree caught his eye. He patted the trunks of the surrounding trees. They were all strong and thick, and they seemed to be suitable trees. When he was hesitating, they hung on his shoulders The bones crawled out quietly, and jumped off his shoulders before Gray realized.

Gray felt his shoulders lighten and heard the sound on the ground. He knew that the bones had jumped down. He lowered his voice and said anxiously: "Kuris, come back!" Attract the attention of other wild animals in the forest.

"Kuris!" Gray called several times to no avail. He could only judge the direction of the bone by the way the grass blades in the grass fell left and right as the bone passed quickly, so he hurriedly followed the rustling bone. There was a rustling sound.Gray quickly chased after him, and when he was about to catch up, he threw forward with his whole body and clasped the bone with a slap. He clasped the bone and said angrily, "If you dare to run around again, I will kill you with your fingers." Take it down!"

At this moment, a soft groan came from under the place where Gray was lying on his stomach.

Grai stretched out his hand to touch the ground around him, it was soft and not like ordinary land, but when he touched a round object, Grai subconsciously cursed: "shit" and immediately stood up, he thought he was He fell to the ground, but he didn't expect it to be a person.

He grasped the bones tightly, and waited for the startled mood to calm down before Grai slowly approached the person lying on the place he had just pressed down on, a short and small child.Gray squatted down, stretched out his hand and pushed, the boy's eyes opened a slit weakly: "Help...help..."

Gray didn't know what the child's broken pronunciation meant, but with his years of experience in the wild, when he met a person with weak breath here, he could say a few words, 'help', 'help me', 'water' ''Hungry'

He dragged the boy to a nearby tree and patted the boy's face lightly. The boy could no longer maintain his consciousness. Gray guessed that he was injured, but the surrounding area was too dark for him to see clearly. The boy's injuries.Grai looked around, trying to see if there was anything that could be lit. At this moment, the bones seemed to understand every intention of Grai's every movement, and suddenly, the finger bones were lit with dark blue light like will-o'-the-wisps. I was surprised when I saw the flames, but fortunately, the color of the "wild fire" ignited by the bones was very cold, much cooler than ordinary torches, so Grai was not so repulsive.

Gray was surprised by Bones' caring heart. He smiled and raised Bones: "Thank you." He took full advantage of it and used it to illuminate the boy's whole body.

Gray looked down, there was no obvious serious injury on the boy, only some slight abrasions on the arms on both sides, some wear and tear on the knees and jacket, Gray concluded that the boy crawled all the way here from nowhere.Gray pressed the boy's legs and feet, and there were no signs of bruises or fractures. His legs and feet were fine, so why did he crawl?Gray was puzzled, and then pressed up again, but when he pressed the boy's abdomen, it was extremely hard, feeling very much like a stone.Gray tore off the boy's coat, and under the coat, the boy was still wrapped in a black silk-like pajamas. Gray stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the texture of the pajamas was very similar to silver.

Gray unbuttoned the top button of the boy's pajamas one by one until he exposed the boy's infected upper body.

What catches the eye is the boy's filthy black belly...

Grai wouldn't know what this is...Grai turned his head and looked at the bone that was burning with blue flames. No wonder it led him here so kindly. For a moment, Grai really thought that the bone was so kind, and it found After killing a dying boy, he deliberately lured Gray to rescue him... He actually forgot the virtue of the original owner of the bones, how could Kuriss do anything without any purpose of benefit.

The boy's pale skin is extremely glaring compared to the large black crystalline plaque on his abdomen. The boy's waist has lost any vivid color, and the flesh that has been eroded by the curse is hollowed out like black honeycombs. It is the blood vessels hidden under the skin. Now, the surrounding of the crystal spot is bruised and purple, and the direction of the blood veins is clearly visible. They are meshed as thin as silk on the edge of the corroded part, still trying to squeeze even a little blood for survival into the necrotic part.

The moment Gray unbuttoned the boy's pajamas, a strong smell of potion rushed into his nostrils.In order to prevent the corroded area from expanding on the boy's body, those lime-gray ointments were thickly applied to the boy's non-necrotic areas. It can be seen that someone has made a lot of efforts to keep the boy alive.It's a pity that those ointments don't talk about clearing the curse, they can't even inhibit the spread of the curse, it can at most slow down the erosion of the curse.

But Gray knew that the slow spread of the curse to the heart was not due to those useless ointments.The effect of the curse is divided into two types, one is fatal once infected, and the other is slow corrosion.The first type is more common, which is why people dare not touch the curse. The second type cannot be achieved by the original curse. It needs to be artificially manipulated to cause the effect of the curse rune, because this method is not for eliminating The opponent, but for the purpose of torture, was doing it on purpose.Those who know this method should be those who are familiar with using curses.

How familiar are you?Undoubtedly, it must be the degree of Curris.The curse itself is not easy to be manipulated, and a little carelessness may even erode the caster himself.It is necessary to keep a certain safe distance from the curse, but also to be able to use the curse completely for oneself. This skill has been honed by Kuris for nearly ten years.

Gray's heart sank suddenly, could this be done by Curris?Or someone instructed by Curris?For the people and things related to the curse, Gray can't help but draw them closer to Curris, perhaps a little hope in his heart is looking forward to this.

This kind of slow-corrosion curse manipulation is man-made, so it will be cracked in a man-made way. Curris has done experiments on Grai. The curses have fusion and devouring properties, and the small power will be swallowed by the big power. , as long as there is a stronger curse power from the outside world, the weaker curse can be eradicated.

Thinking about it, Gray tentatively moved the bone closer to the boy's abdomen.Sure enough, the black crystal spots on the boy's body seemed to sense the same kind. From the boy's abdomen, where the cursed crystal spots were gathered at the deepest place, a light and thin black mist floated towards the bone that was swaying with the dark will-o'-the-wisp.

Seeing that the method worked, Gray pulled the bone away.

He suddenly became worried, if this was really what Kuris did, then if he saved the boy easily, would it interfere with Kuris' purpose?

Gray hesitated for a moment, then changed his mind, he saved the boy, maybe he could get some clues from the boy's mouth, if it was really what Kuris did, then he would send him to Kuris at that time, Curse it again and it's over.

In fact, in the bottom of Gray's heart, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe that Curris would die so easily.

He wasn't dead yet, how could that man who was tougher, smoother and more patient than him die before him.

Besides, he was resurrected.Who in the world would have that attachment, that ability to revive such a bad tempered and weird person like him.Besides Curris, Gray doesn't think anyone else can do it.Since Kuris can resurrect himself, he must be alive and healthy somewhere.

It's just that Gray hasn't found him yet.He wanted to believe it, he had to believe it.Without this belief, he really doesn't know if he has enough strength to walk back to his former home.

The more Gray thought about it, the more he felt that his method was feasible, so he put the bone in the boy's abdomen. After the bone left Gray's palm, he turned around in puzzlement, as if he was staring at Gray and asking Gray why.Gray pointed to the boy's belly. The weaker curse power is more like a kind of food for the advanced curse. Bones had been eyeing this delicious meal early on, but it seemed to be worried that Grein would see it. However, Grai's explicit instructions now made Bones jump for joy, and all the will-o'-the-wisps on the bones were extinguished. It rushed towards Grai, and the bones wrapped around Grai's neck and climbed up to him. On his shoulder, a long, hard tail-like bone rubbed against his face relyingly.

"Stop playing." Gray squinted his eyes, the touch of the bone fingers made his cheeks itch, he knew very well the intention of this thing to please, he chuckled: "Go if you want."

After receiving the permission, the bone moved happily. Its black bony branches crawled down Grai's side like a gecko, and the tight joints rubbed against each other making creepy creaking sounds.

The black hand bones climbed up the boy's equally black abdomen.The boy's abdomen has long been corroded by the curse, so that he has no other sensations except pain. Even though the bones are pressing around on the boy's stomach as if looking for food, the unconscious boy can't feel any strangeness.

After some exploration, the bones seemed to have identified something, and the five fingers standing on the surface of the skin thinner than a piece of paper stretched out, like the thin feet of a spider, they sank deeply, and then it was a kind of digging three feet into the ground. Seeing such stirring movements, Gray couldn't help but tighten his stomach.

Suddenly, the pain in the abdomen was more painful than before, which made the boy with confused consciousness exclaim: "Ah——"

Gray immediately put his fingers under the boy's teeth that were opened wide from the pain, for fear that the boy would bite off his tongue.Gray is going to question this kid in a while, how can he talk when his tongue is gone.

"Ah—" This time it was Gray calling out, this kid's teeth are too sharp!

At this moment, the dense branches and leaves on the top of the tree suddenly trembled. Grai noticed the strangeness, so he looked up and saw a huge creature approaching here.In the process of crawling and running, the big thing chopped off the thick branches that were intertwined and shaded between the tops of the tall trees that had never seen the light all day long, revealing a piece of light in the night sky. Grai used the light to see the monster's appearance slightly clearly.

an ant? !

Giant ants?

Gray was stunned, and then, as if trying to make sure of something, he immediately pulled his finger out of the boy's mouth, shook his hands and hurriedly climbed to the top of the tree.

As expected, the giant ant found it after hearing the boy's screams. It stopped around here, and Gray hid in the top of the tree. The giant ant's long tentacles swept across his face, carrying a strong fishy smell.

The giant ant was exploring under Grai's tree. The tip of its long tentacles had touched the boy under the tree, but it slowly retracted its tentacles as if it hadn't sensed anything. After a while, the giant ant moved away. Followed its body away.

When Gray on the tree passed him by the giant ant, he found a regular brand mark on the upper shell of its egg-shaped abdomen. The shape of the brand was very familiar to Gray. After confirming it, Gray couldn't help saying: " murmuring..."

Then he cursed secretly: "Shit, how did it grow so big?"

Gray knew this ant that was too big for a normal size. Culis named it Murmur. There are actually two such ants. The other one is called, which seems to be taken from a fairy tale. Gray can't remember exactly.

But Gray remembers the ant being the size of a full-grown man the last time he saw it.

But now, the ant that passed by his eyes just now grew so big that it was even bigger than a giant dragon, and he almost couldn't recognize it.Immediately, Gray felt a chill behind his back, murmured that although he was Curris's pet, to be honest, Gray didn't have a good relationship with it.The relationship between Gray and Neil may be a little better, but it's a pity that he was teleported to which time and space because of Curris' experiment when Gray was alive.

As for the murmuring son that was left behind, Grai felt that it was not like its father at all, murmuring only ate, and had no brains at all.Until one day Kuris also realized the trouble of feeding it, so he sealed Murmur under the deep sea.

How did it get here now?

From the stench it exhaled at Grai just now, Grai probably judged that the little beast had started to eat and drink recklessly again.He had to find a way to drive it back into the sea, and he didn't know what kind of disaster it would cause if he let it go.It's a pity that Gray is not Curris, so there is no way to deter it. The little bastard ant wilts when it sees Curris, and plays like seeing a ball when it sees Gray, very snobbish.

But why did it ignore Grai's reaction just now?Could it be that he has changed so that he cannot be recognized?Gray guessed wildly.

Murmur and Gray have similarities in physique, they are not afraid of any magic attacks and curses, and they are also familiar with curses.Using a curse to lure it, will it be able to make it think it is Kuris and submit obediently?Muttering's avoidance when he encountered the cursed boy just now can also prove that Curris's influence on it is still there, and it will not attack or eat cursed things.

Gray was thinking of a way, when a human voice came from under the tree, and then Gray came back to his senses, and quietly looked under the tree.

At that time, the screams that distracted the giant ants were short but loud like human voices. Man and Ferret believed that there were still survivors in the forest. After discussing with each other, they followed the giant ants to the place where the sound came out. Considering that someone is in danger, they can help in time.

The two followed the giant ant silently, only to see that the giant ant left the place without finding anything after exploring.

He thought that the screaming person left the place early to avoid the giant ants. When he was about to pull the ferret away, the ferret suddenly saw a boy lying under a tree in the distance.He reminded Man's attention, but when they approached the tree step by step, Man stepped forward in shock.

"Riya!"

The ferret didn't know why he was so urgent, he immediately stopped Man: "Don't move."

"He's my cousin." Man said.

"Look at his stomach." The ferret said cautiously.

After the ferret said, Man's eyes focused on the belly of the boy lying unconscious under the tree, where the coat was wide open, revealing the curse crystal spots covering half of the body, which Man had seen before, Rhea was entangled by the curse for several months, When he was changing his dressing, Man would occasionally sneak to see him in Fort Isakel, but at this time there was a sudden bulge from Rhea's abdomen trembling, and he listened carefully in the dark night, From around the boy's abdomen, there was a sound like churning mud.

"What's that?" Man felt sick for a while.

The ferret drew out the knight's saber, and he tentatively touched the long strip protruding from his belly with the tip of the sword.

The ferret touched it lightly, but it was hard and there was no response, so he increased his strength and tried to push the thing out of the boy's abdomen. Suddenly, the front end of the thing withdrew from the abdomen, and the five finger bones were stained with blood. The black plasma, like an angry monster stretching out its fangs, immediately spread its five fingers and swooped towards the person who disturbed its meal.

Terrified, the ferret subconsciously blocked it with the sword, and threw the thing he hadn't seen clearly on the tree with the blade.

The bones that had been smashed onto the bark quickly gripped the tree's furrows.

As soon as the ferret saw its stretched face, it suddenly recalled some episodes.

It was this hand bone that dragged him away...

All of a sudden, black mist emerged from every joint of the bones, twisting and gathering into a human shape.

The ferret suddenly buzzed in his head: "The magician..."

He is still a knight who has not completed his graduation, and he has only seen the appearance of a magician in books before, and he has not even started the actual combat course of the second year.

"Is it okay to leave it to you?" Rather than staring at the devil with weak legs and feet in shock, Man is now more worried about Rhea's situation. He doesn't know why Rhea is lying in the grass like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Look, there was a bone that seemed to be gnawing on his stomach just now?He wanted to vomit just thinking about that image.

"I'm afraid I can't..." A drop of sweat streaked across the temples of the ferret, and the upper end of the saber in his hand was corroded with crystal spots where it was touched too much by the hand bone.Although the silver sword issued by the knight academy is not a very high-purity magic tool, it has reached the standard for dealing with curses. Even so, it is still unbearable to be corroded by the curse of the magician in front of him. It can be seen that the level of this magician is How advanced.

Man didn't expect to be able to utter inspiring words from the mouth of the ferret, and he also knew that the body of the ferret would not be able to resist the magic envoy for too long, not to mention that it looked like a high-level magic envoy.

Man seized no time, walked to the pale boy, and fastened the buttons on his clothes. At the same time, Man noticed that the color of the large black spots on the boy's abdomen had faded a lot.

Rhea's slack eyes reflected the figure again: "Man..."

Seeing that the boy was able to call out his name aloud, his heart was finally relieved: "Next time I will never lead you out again."

Just as Rhea opened her mouth and was about to say something, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure swinging down from the branch.

"careful!"

However, it was too late. Before Man could react, Gray, who jumped from the tree, kicked Man's defenseless back.

Man fell to the ground.

"Man—" The ferret wanted to ask for help and turned to look at Man Guilanzhi, but seeing that the other party fell to the ground before him, he turned the call for help into an exclamation.

The ferret was crushed to the ground by the demon, and the cracks on the silver sword grew suddenly. Fortunately, there was a black silk robe between him and the curse, but he felt that his robe was about to fail.

The exclamation of the ferret caught Gray's attention instead. Gray heard the voice very familiar, and looked at the appearance as well as in the impression. Gray immediately recognized that the one who was suppressed by the bone was the one who gave him a plate of rotten food. Face people.

He immediately called the bones back: "Kuris!"

The movement of the magician stopped for a moment, and the cursing black mist converged back to the bone, and the bone that recovered as a hand bone bounced back to Grai's side.

Grai stepped forward and pulled up the ferret who was lying down on the ground just now under the pressure of the demon bone: "Why are you here? Did you bring me food?"

The ferret looked at the boy, with dark chestnut hair, wearing his old clothes and trousers and the shoes he bought. Even though there was some mud on them, they still looked strong and wearable. It didn't lose the price the ferret paid at that time. .

"Is it you?" The ferret looked in horror at the ghost thing that almost killed him just now perched on the boy's shoulder, and the five finger bones that were like monster fangs were now like curly dead leaves He fiddled with the tie on Grai's collar with nostalgia.

"It...you..." the ferret swallowed in disbelief.

Gray said: "It's Curris." To be precise, it was a small part of Curris.

"I took him with me before, but I was afraid that you would be afraid. After all, he looks rather strange, so you didn't notice him." Grey said.

The ferret asked vigilantly, "You...can you use curses?"

"No." Gray said.

"The magic envoy just now..." said the ferret.

"I didn't do it." Gray said: "You guys hindered Curris just now, of course he didn't like it... Sometimes I also think he is a little sensitive... But I promise he won't do it again."

Before he finished speaking, a golden flash of light flashed across Grai's cheek, and the bone on Grai's shoulder circled around Grai's neck, and the curse gathered in the palm of the bone in a second and turned into a black crystal pillar to attack behind him. people projected.

Man suddenly raised his hand, and the crystal pillar stagnated in mid-air.On the five fingers of Man's right hand, there were silver wide rings that glowed warmly. Man gently clenched his palms, and the black crystal pillars suddenly turned into powder.

The bone was about to gather a new curse, but Grai held down its tail end, and it stopped. Grai realized at a glance that it was the man he kicked to the ground just now who was sneaking up on him. He carefully looked at the opposite blue The man with hair and blue eyes communicated with the ferret: "Is he your friend?"

The ferret came back to his senses and knew that the boy was talking to him, so he said, "He is my classmate."

"classmate?"

"People who study with me."

Gray didn't quite understand, but it sounded like the relationship was quite close, so he soothed the bones on his shoulders.

"What about the kid behind him. Is it both of you?" Gray asked.

"No!" The ferret vetoed quickly: "What are you thinking? That's his cousin."

cousin?Seeing the blue-haired and blue-eyed man protecting the boy so much, Gray could probably guess that there was a relationship between the two of them.

If Gray still hopes to get some real information from the boy's mouth, he can't be an enemy of the boy's relatives. Thinking this way, Gray looked at the man who sneaked up on him from behind just now, and pointed to the boy behind him, He took the lead in showing his favor and said, "I can cure him, translator."

The ferret was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized it, and translated to Man: "He said he could cure Rhea."

"I found him here just now, and started to treat him, but I was interrupted by you. Translate." Gray asked the ferret to translate a sentence.

He looked at the ferret and the boy in amazement, and said, "Ferret, do you know him very well?"

The ferret wanted to nod at first, but when he saw that the young man could manipulate a high-ranking magician tonight, he felt that he didn't understand the young man he picked up from the trash at all, so he shook his head and said, "I've only been around for a few days. I saw him once before. He fainted from hunger."

"So he's a beggar? Where did he come from?"

Gray accepted the interpreter from the ferret, and said, "I'm not a beggar, and it doesn't matter where I come from. What's important is that I can immediately cure the curse on your brother."

Man smiled mockingly, and he looked at the young man who looked like a wild man wandering in the forest.

Knowing that his current appearance could not convince any sensible adult, Gray glanced at the overly lively bones on his shoulders, and he thought: "I have no malice, if I have, The magic envoy just now is enough for you to die once. Translate"

"As you can see, I can control this demon, and it's not difficult for me to control the curse. Translate." Grace boasted without redness.These two silly-looking boys are actually very smart in the mainland. If he doesn't make himself more useful, they probably won't let him continue to absorb the curse on the boy. Then the only thing waiting for the boy is If he dies, he may cut off the only clue to find Curris.

Rhea seemed to grasp the last straw, he said: "Let him try."

Rhea, awake, whimpered uncontrollably as the bone dug back under the patchy skin of her belly.

"Enough." Can't bear to listen to Rhea's cry: "Make it stop."

The ferret couldn't bear it either, and said, "Let it stop."

"Be patient." Gray felt that this was a small problem.

Filled with anxiety, he pinched Grai's neck with his hands for a moment: "Tell it to stop."

The force squeezed on Grai's neck was not strong, he was just a warning and didn't really want to kill him. Grai could feel it without speaking, but his bones couldn't sense the subtle difference. To be attacked is to be attacked. After it was pulled out from under the cursed and corroded skin of Rhea's abdomen, it immediately crawled towards Grai. Seeing this, Grai picked up the bone that was exuberantly cursed from the ground one step ahead of time. .

Seeing this, Man withdrew his hand, and Rhea climbed up the tree trunk beside her and stood up: "Man, I feel much better."

He glanced at the boy who seemed to be the same age as him, and comforted the elder brother who was overly worried about his health, saying, "Although it hurts a bit, I trust him."

"I don't believe him." Man stubbornly said, he was full of distrust for this strange young man who appeared out of thin air in this dangerous forest and could control the devil.

Just as he was talking, he saw a strong limb descending from the sky. The ferret and Gray were startled and jumped long distances to avoid it.Rhea's intermittent screams earlier attracted the giant ant to return.

The forelegs of the giant ant swept across, and the ferret couldn't dodge in time, so he had to draw his sword to resist. The most lethal tongs and a long tentacles on the side of the mouthparts.

The injured giant ant raised its body up, scarlet runes flashed like lightning between the painful and trembling tentacles, and it unexpectedly grew a new pair of murderous pliers from its mouth at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"It's useless." The demon envoy held Grai in the air, away from the giant ants that had become manic due to injuries on the ground. Grai was bound so tightly by the black mist that it could be described as being bound, so even if his feet He was not worried about falling down.

He yelled at the ferret that was bouncing around on the giant ant from a distance: "Murmur... the giant ant will recover as fast as it is hurt, and every time it is hurt, its shape It doubles in size. Attacking it doesn't help, it just makes it harder to deal with."

The ferret really wanted to drag down the young man who was protected by the demon and asked him why he seemed to know every kind of monster like the back of his hand, but the ferret couldn't even protect himself in a crisis, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the monsters in front of him. .

After hearing Gray's explanation, the ferret seemed to have a flash of inspiration, and he secretly said: "Nest compound surgery..."

Only the rune structure of the nest compound technique can make the object recover quickly and a new hard film will grow on the surface of the object as a protection. This should be the reason why the giant ants can continue to grow.

Then as long as you find the 'nest' in its rune structure, you can destroy the effect of this growth recovery.

"Nest, where is its nest?"

Gray said in confusion, "Nest? Ants dig holes, they don't build nests."

The ferret wanted to kill him with a sword.The ferret sprinted on the giant ant's back, and the giant ant dashed around trying to knock off whatever was tickling it.

He found a special rune array branded on the abdomen of the giant ant, and it became clearer and larger as the giant ants continued to proliferate. The ferret didn't think too much, he raised his sword and inserted it into the rune, but The imaginary reaction didn't happen. Instead, a strong gust of air burst out from the center of the rune and swept the ferret away.

The ferret rolled off the giant ant, and before he fell to the ground, he read the rune to change the landing position, so that he could stand safely on the ground.

Seeing this scene with a panoramic view, Gray said, "It's useless to say what I said."

The ferret thought that he had indeed found the right place, and that rune was the core of all the giant ants' magic—the 'nest'.It's just that the nest compounding technique applied to the giant ants is more sophisticated and advanced than what he has seen in books, and he can't destroy it in a simple way.

The ferret couldn't be discouraged. While rolling around behind the grass tree to avoid the attack of the giant ants, he shouted to the sky: "What should I do then? Does it have any weaknesses?"

"It's afraid of water." Grey said, looking at the sea not far away, how could he forget that this is a coastal capital: "If you can lure it into the sea, it will be useless."

The ferret glanced ahead. Their current position was already very close to the edge of the forest. Through the gaps between the trees, he could see a cold and sparkling sea in the distance, but the forest was covered by an invisible barrier. Among them, not only the giant ants, even a few of them couldn't pass through the barrier.Now it is definitely too late to ask for foreign aid to let the patrol team open the barrier.

The barrier has a limit on the amount of magic that it can resist carrying, and it can only break if it exceeds the limit.Since the patrol team has set the bounty so high, it shows that they will treat giant ants as a very dangerous species. Presumably, the barrier that traps giant ants should also be the highest-level barrier, and this kind of barrier has a greater carrying capacity , it will not be a trainee knight like a ferret who can break through forcibly.

And looking at the demon envoy behind Grai in the sky, it was also suspended in mid-air and couldn't rise any higher, probably it also touched the barrier.The difficulty of breaking through the barrier that even high-ranking magicians couldn't break through has raised another level in Ferret's heart.

In a panic, the ferret threw off the pursuit of the giant ants, and ran straight to Man who was hiding behind a tree and was helping Rhea to drink medicine: "Man, can I borrow your holy weapon?"

Man is not used to outsiders calling him by his first name directly, but for the natural and easy-going name Ferret, Man is not so difficult to accept, and said: "I'm afraid not."

The ferret explained: "I want to open the barrier, but my own strength can't reach it. Your ancestor Shengwu is specially used to deal with curses and demon kings. I think its magic power should be enough to open the barrier."

Mandao: "You are naive. The ancestor Shengwu can only exert its maximum effect when dealing with curses. The rest of the time it is no different from ordinary high-purity magic tools. You still need to use the magic power in your body."

The ferret lowered its eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "There is a magician in the sky. Before I open the barrier, please help me lure the giant ants away. After the barrier is opened, I need to trouble you to guide the giant ants to the seaside."

Man squinted and said, "It's easy to order people."

The ferret smiled honestly: "I remember that you didn't take the final exam, so you should need to make up the exam. The Baroda School Director likes to reuse the exam questions from the previous session as a make-up exam. I just sorted out the exam content for each session. I can borrow you to review if you need."

Man blinked: "Did someone say you're actually pretty bad?"

Ferret smiled and said, "Yes."

Man took off his ring and put it on the ferret's hand: "If there is any damage to my Shengwu ring, I will capture you as a free servant of the Guilanzhi clan and let me send you for three years."

"Thank you very much." The ferret clenched its palms, and after getting used to the tightness of its fingers being bound for a while, it immediately urged the rune to jump towards the magician hanging in mid-air through the tall trees around it.

Man Ze turned around and said to Rhea: "Can you run?"

Rhea hurriedly returned the potion that she couldn't swallow after only one sip, and nodded positively.

Seeing that Rhea's complexion has indeed improved, she felt relieved and at the same time couldn't help but wonder whether the boy's 'pain treatment' really worked.

"After the barrier opens, you run outside the barrier."

"What about you?" Rhea asked.

"Me? For my final grades, I have to lure that big ant away." Man said.
