Few days later, Rennes and his treasure hunt team went over to that normal empty land.
Their searching traces had not completely disappeared. Therefore, this time, they didn't need to use the navigation spell but could still find the right location; and Rennes wouldn't naturally need to do these hard things. The subordinates that he brought for this treasure hunt bravely moved forward without waiting for his order. Each shovel was quickly swung, one by one so in a short while. A deep hole was dug up.
The subordinates in the newly dug hole couldn't help but cheer.
Rennes was not happy that quickly as he told his subordinates to get out and then asked that shaman to come and check the situation of the formation.
"It is not severely damaged." After carefully checking, the shaman firmly said, "It is curable, we need to spend a little bit of time."
They still had a lot of time. For this time treasure hunt, they had fully prepared enough necessities for one month's time. Right now, they had at most used up one-fourth of the total necessities.
Therefore, they decided to rest here. It happened to the same camp where Gerrard, Palin and Rennes had stationed when they went on the treasure hunt.
Bringing along wishes for wealth and dreams of a beautiful future, those exhausted treasure hunters went to the land of dreams.
They also didn't know that above their heads, where it was not far away from the ground, a giant floating jellyfish was watching them attentively with a cold smile.
Inside the treasure cave, Gerrard and Palin were both laughing coldly.
"Judging from their looks, we will win for sure." Gerrard said, "We are being underestimated. Ha…ha."
These two chuckles 'Ha ha' contained a profound meaning, a mocking attitude, and a ferocious murderous intent.
The former "Bald head" Nien used to beat a noble personal soldier out of his anger; he had even killed the opponent's leader ruthlessly. He was wanted for so many years like this but could still run away to the Northwest's Four Towns and even safely hide in the White Leaf Village. He had also been through countless life-or-death fights?
Speaking of taking his life away, they'd better be prepared to be killed by him first!
Palin didn't say anything, only sneered, and gently stroked his beloved magic book. Ever since the resurrection, by some kinds of unknown reasons, his magic power had had a strange transformation. Some magics that he didn't use much had weakened a lot. But some magics were unreasonably enhanced to the level that common sense couldn't keep up with.
His magic book didn't record many spells. There were only two formidable Great Magics in total. One was an icy-cold ray. This kind of magic was originally a low-level magic trick which was commonly used for performance. Its actual fighting power was very small, but it was still better than nothing. However, inside his hands, its power reached to an incredible level as he had tried experimenting with it. One ray from it could have frozen at least five to six feet of the ground, and the people inside that range might lose their lives right on the spot.
Another enhanced magic was an ice dagger. That magic was enough to call out a short ice dagger which could not only launch a physical attack but also carry a bit of ice attack. Its power was just on a normal level, in other words, it was like any other normal daggers. However, once it had stabbed something, its effect would be displayed very well. After it was enhanced, he called it a single-handed ice sword since its blade was exaggeratingly sharp and its body was excessively firm. He had once tried holding the sword with both hands and fiercely slashed a rock cliff. As a result, the sword didn't even have any damages, even the slightest one. On the contrary, a small piece of the rock cliff was fractured. On the glossy surface of the fractured spot, there was a layer of icy frog condensing as Gerrard reached out his hand to touch it after a while. His whole palm was frozen. Soon enough, his hand had defrosted.
Palin had had an understanding about Gerrard's Magic Resistance Ability. His magic could have only frosted such a giant like him as an ordinary person would have absolutely been frozen to the point that he could barely keep his life.
Unconsciously, his power right now had far surpassed his power when he was still alive. After this incident, the young shaman gained more apprehension about the matchless power of Highness Hollow Mask.
This friendly and gentle God did not only possess a power of resurrection in giving life to a souless body, but he also made the resurrected souless body act and talk like when Palin was still alive, and giving such a miraculous strength to a believer was indeed unbelievable!
"Or... Does your Priesthood focus "Life" and "Ice"?" He told Sui Xiong his thought.
Sui Xiong indeed knew what was going on: I absolutely do not specialize in "Life" field. The so-called"Resurrection" scheme is not like any traditional method. However, this "Ice" field is obviously not wrong. Perhaps Palin has become stronger, that he can now be aware of my power's influence regarding these fields.
"If I want to seek for a True God's word, I'll probably start from this "Ice" field. Turing this "Ice" field into an Ice God's position as this is the most reliable way..."
But an Ice God Position was not easy to obtain like this.Many people went for this position. For example, the mighty "Water" God wanted to get this position as well. In this northern wasteland, more than one God were holding this position.
Once he got this position, it was unavoidable to come in contact with them. The nature of those powerhouses who had grown up in the wildness and become Gods was brutal and ferocious, and If Sui Xiong couldn't show off the power that made them flinch, there would be a group of Gods waiting to besiege him.
When the time came, those Evil Gods would be like a flock of hungry wolves following after the bloody smell to get him and then tear him apart and swallow him up.
Palin also reminded him this kind of danger many times before. Due to the insufficient power, the newborn God was knocked out and swallowed up. His God Power was completely sucked up. He finally fell down.... things like this didn't happen once. Despite his limited knowledge, the young shaman obviously knew some practical examples.
Although Sui Xiong was pretty confident in his power, he couldn't take risks since this kind of situation didn't allow him to do that.
"I suggest Highness joining the Virtuous God system. Although the Virtuous God system has quite many regulations, you can't freely do anything you want. The Gods still help each other and they can definitely give a hand to a newborn God." Palin suggested.
Unfortunately, after all, Palin was just a young and low-level Shaman, and that his knowledge was too shallow as he had racked his brain but was still able to come up with a suitable Virtuous God system for Sui Xiong.
Somehow his suggestion had given Sui Xiong a big clue and a pretty clear perspective about the future. If nothing unexpected happened, thanks to this thing, he would prepare to head south to get to the bustling area in the mainland. He would find the Kindness Church to see with his own eyes which God was suitable for him to be friends with.
However, before that, he wanted to punish this cunning brat Rennes first!
As for those thieves who followed Rennes, he would not take their lives, but he would definitely let them taste some bitterness in making them wake up, stop committing crimes, and become good men.
Therefore, he had been researching a spell. Until that time came, he would definitely make these guys never be able to forget about this!
Time passed by in the expectations of both sides. A few days later, the Shaman that Rennes had high hopes for had finally finished repairing the Transmission Formation as well as completely breaking the bloodline verification of this transmission at the same time. No matter who it was, one could freely come and leave this place.
"This formation is quite old. Around 500 years ago, it used to be popular. Right now, it has fallen into disuse." He was somewhat showing off and continued, "The current structure of this magic has already been eliminated and the main reason is that it is easy to break. I don't know who on earth designed this formation from the beginning? Judging from the making method of this magic, this senior shaman's level is not low, not to mention being higher than me-----unfortunately, time is the most powerful weapon. Based on the knowledge but not the brute force of this shaman, his knowledge is outdated, really outdated!"
While speaking, he took out a gem that contained a big amount of dark power to activate the formation.
A faint green light poured out like flowing water, covered the first group, and sent them to inside the cave.
Palin had soon set up carefully while waiting for them. At the same time, he had activated the hypnosis formation.
The blue and green lights flickered as those thieves immediately felt dizzy and drowsy before they could clearly see the situation. There was only one man who could luckily resist the power of hypnosis but he was also attacked from behind by Palin's cane and was put into sleep by a physical mean in the end.
Who knew whether or not this thief would have headache after waking up.
The first group didn't come back and this made other thieves feel anxious. Hence, that shaman displayed a location spell in the hope that he could somehow determine the situation of the first group.
"They all survived." After casting the spell, the Shaman said, "Moreover, they are healthy... There seems to be no specific danger on that side. Perhaps, our traps has had some problems."
Just like that, the second group was sent out.
They naturally encountered the same situation like the first one. They were not even close to the first group as they were eager to try Palin's stick as well as the effect of "physical hypnosis", but this group could not withstand the power of the hypnosis spell which let him down a lot.
There was no news from two consecutive groups except for only one "safe" message from the reciprocation spell. This made the thieves worry. In seeing this situation both Rennes and the shaman had already gotten the fact that they couldn't keep risking the lives of those thieves who had now lost their courage. They displayed various protection spells and then launched the transmission formation to go forth inside the cave.
The faint green halo dispersed and two people showed up inside the treasure cave. Although the hypnosis immediately surrounded them, made efforts to put them to sleep, it failed to do so because the two of them had carefully prepared a suitable protection spell for a long time already. Also, the shallow and delicate spell of that Palin could not bring out any effect and completely have no impact on them.
Seeing that Gerrard and Palin were both safe and sound standing in this place, striking the same attacking poses, Rennes' face went entirely white as he distinctly beamed a smile, wanted to use words to baffle those two, and buy some time for the Shaman.
However, Palin basically didn't give him this chance as he leaped up, swung the wooden stick toward his head, and cruelly slammed down.
A pounding sound resonated and a light white dark power emerged, blocking this strike.
Gerrard didn't attack, immediately put down his ax, and sneered at Rennes.
More than Palin, he was well aware of Sui Xiong's power since his fanatical conviction level had far surpassed this shaman, Palin. And from his point of view in how to deal with these men was the matter of the "Hollow Mask" Highness, he just needed to wait for his order and then execute accordingly.
"When you planned all of this, did you think the result would turn out like this?" The jeering sounds resonated in the cave, "What should I call you? Rennes? Or…The president of the Pyroxene's Thieves Guild?"
