Lin Suo only heaved a sigh of relief after digging into the sea.
He quickly floated to the surface of the water and rested for a while. Then, he went into the water to deal with the hole entrance and turned it into stone to block it tightly. Only then did he leave.
At this point, he could use his art of sea navigation knowledge to confirm his location.
Finally, after three days of full-speed travel, he returned to Koster safely. He crawled into the underground safe house, and instantly fell asleep.
…
From a branch of the North Sea’s Behemoth family, Olivia Behemoth, a stage 2 Magi and biological sister of Reipa Behemoth, had come of age a few days back and came to the White Tower to look for Reipa.
She had brought the contracted beast that her family had given her, the North Sea Giant Slug, all the way to the south.
While resting in a small town, she heard about the existence of Decay Worm Dragons in the Fiend Salt Swamp near Koster. That was her pet’s favorite food, and the salt swamp was under the rule of her brother, Reipa’s, faction.
Thus, after staying for a day, Olivia Ann arrived at the salt swamp camp.
After paying the entrance fee, she followed the map and headed toward the territory of the Decay Worm Dragon. Coincidentally, it was adjacent to the territory of the Cave Spiders since both creatures lived underground all year round.
Most of the battles were also underground.
While Olivia was hunting the Decay Worm Dragon, she unknowingly entered the lair of the Cave Spiders.
Surrounded by a sea of spiders, she had no choice but to order the Giant Slug to dig a hole.
As they fought, they suddenly entered a natural passage. The passage was very narrow, and a strong magic energy aura came from the other end.
Olivier instantly revealed a look of joy.
“An underground ruin?”
What she didn’t notice was that there were reddish-yellow snake scales at every interval of the passage. In her joy, she ordered the three-foot-long North Sea Giant Slug to seal the entrance of the passage with a bloodline spell.
She then headed towards the underground ruin.
Not long after, dozens of Venom Wyverns broke out of the ground. They were a type of sub-dragon that looked very similar to a real dragon. It was just that they were only two feet and were much thinner.
Their entire body was yellow-green. After they flew out of the ground, they spat out a large amount of poisonous breath filled with anger.
White smoke rose from the corroded ground and at a speed that was visible to the naked eye the ground sank by a large margin.
Every adult Venom Wyvern had the power of an advanced Magi-Apprentice, and their leader was at least at the level of an official Magi.
Olivia’s recklessness had caused him to encounter a great disaster.
She could only continue to dig down, but at this point, her body was in a very bad state. There were traces of corrosion everywhere on her face and body where pustules were starting to grow. She looked terrible. She could only let the Giant Slug take her deeper underground.
“Damn it.”
On the other side, in the campsite tower, the four-armed Magi’s expression did not look too good.
“Damned Snake Demon, you only managed to lure her for a while. Damn it!”
Snake Demons possessed low intelligence. Generally speaking, once they were controlled, they were no different from wild beasts and could be easily controlled.
There was clearly something wrong with this Snake Demon.
After attracting the Cave Spiders, there had been no movement. Now, he could not even sense its location or aura.
The four-armed Magi began to use the tower genie to enlarge the range of his mental power detection.
When he saw the various corpses that had been strangled by the spider silk in the Cave Spider’s habitat, his expression darkened to the extreme.
There were apprentices from Marine College and the White Tower, just none from the Evening Bell Church!
What explanation was there? Did the Snake Demon have such high intelligence?
An invisible haze shrouded his mind, and his mood was terrible.
Had the Moon Magi schemed against him? Or did that old lizard betray him?
Just as he was thinking about the conspiracy theory, a new underground tunnel appeared a thousand meters underground, and a strange yellow amber covered the walls of the tunnel. It looked like the escape route of some creature.
Olivia fell into the tunnel and was seriously injured.
One arm was left with only white bones.
The giant North Sea Slug stretched its body and squeezed in. It grew from three-ren to five-ren-long like a white snake. Then, it turned around and spat to seal the mouth of the hole.
When the hole leading in was blocked by steel-like rocks, Olivia finally heaved a sigh of relief.
“Hiss hiss!”
“Who is it?!”
The sudden movement made the two wary.
Soon, a four-armed Snake Demon that was two-ren tall crawled over from the corner. The aura on her body had reached the limit of an apprentice.
Olivia couldn’t help but gasp.
She was screwed! Why did she run around today? Today was her unlucky day!
Just as she closed her eyes and waited for death, unexpectedly, the Snake Demon didn’t attack. Instead, she left behind a scroll wrapped around her hair and quickly left.
Olivia and her beloved maggot, bah, beloved slug looked at each other.
She picked up the scroll and started reading it. The more she read on, the worse her expression became.
“Slug, let’s leave this place quickly. We’ll find Brother Reipa first and then settle the score with these people.”
“Slug~”
..
Strictly speaking, Olivia had been implicated in the aftermath of Lin Suo killing Sala. However, if it were not for the sake of sufficient benefits, the Moon Magi, the four-armed Magi, and the old lizard would not have attacked Olivia.
Reipa must have done something that affected their interests.
Otherwise, a mere Sala was not worth angering the stage 2 Magi Reipa!
No one knew about this for the time being, but the scroll recorded how the four-armed Magi had persecuted the self-taught wizards, as well as the damage he had done to her, Olivia Behemoth.
This was a provocation to the Behemoth family.
She would not let go of that stage one Magi.
Olivia walked along the passage for a long time. If it wasn’t that the Giant Slug was fast enough, she might have given up. Her body grew increasingly weaker, and her mind became dizzier and dizzier. Her broken body was in urgent need of treatment.
When she reached the end of the passage, the stone wall she saw almost made her break down on the spot.
Fortunately, the Giant Slug told her that the sea was on the other side of the stone wall. Otherwise, if this place was a dead end, she would have the heart to commit suicide on the spot.

Koster, Rhein Bookstore.
The long-awaited, long sleep made Lin Suo feel refreshed.
As for whether his wretched escape from the scene had hurt his dignity… No.
Dignity? Only when there were outsiders would there be dignity. One had to survive first to even have dignity.
He was timid. If he saw something wrong, he would run!
There was nothing wrong with it!
No one saw it anyway.
Moreover, after digging a hole, he did not need to pay again to enter the salt swamp in the future. As long as he was careful enough, he could sneak into the fiend horde to ambush and kill them, obtaining materials. The danger was not high.
He was delighted just thinking about it.
After quickly washing up and changing into new clothes, Lin Suo prepared to live on the surface for a while to adjust his frightened mind.
He needed some time to relieve his mood.
“Then tonight’s dinner… A barbecue feast! Fish balls, fish steaks, prawns, mutton kebabs, beef kebabs, butter, lamb kidneys, roasted lamb legs, and a few grilled buns, hmm… Don’t forget the raw garlic!”
At night, out of the back door of the bookstore, in a small courtyard that was only 30 square meters, Lin Suo was lying on a rocking chair with a kettle in his hand, next to the open barbeque rack. Beside him, two Magical Hands were busy marinating the materials, flipping them, blowing the fire, and cutting vegetables.
“Hmm, as expected of a daily life spell. After breaking through to +1, not only did the structure of the arms become much more refined, but I can even conjure two of them. If I had known earlier, I would have worked harder to advance it. What a pity, what a pity…”
