314 Chapter 314

The scent!

Suddenly, Locke thought of something and his face became quite ugly. Just now, he felt that the fragrance on his body was a little strange, and now he finally understood.

The energy-devouring beast might have found him based on this fragrance!

“Damn it! I was too careless!”

Locke couldn’t help cursing. He had thought that it would be a good bargain for him to earn ten thousand magic crystals in just a few hours, but he didn’t expect that someone would set him up!

Thinking of this, he was so angry that his teeth ached.

However, even though Locke was angry, his speed was not slow. The small universe spun rapidly, and powerful divine power flowed in his body.

His speed soared as he rushed toward the inner circle. Although he couldn’t quickly distance himself from the energy-devouring beast in this direction, it could save time. He didn’t want to retreat another hundred miles.

Boom!

The energy-devouring beast chased after Locke crazily, and the energy balls in its mouth hit out one after another.

“Carol, don’t let me meet you!”

Locke said hatefully after dodging the attacks of the energy-devouring beast.

Seeing the energy-devouring beast rushing toward him again, Locke couldn’t help but shout, “Hey, your stuff is not here!”

“Human… Die!”

However, the energy-devouring beast didn’t listen to him at all and its attack became more and more fierce. At this moment, it had already regarded Locke as the hateful thief accomplice who stole the blue silver grass.

At the same time, strange energy burst out from hundreds of miles away.

This energy was so powerful that even Locke, who was at such a distance, could feel it.

Looking at the blue light shining in the sky in the distance, Locke couldn’t help saying, “Why do I feel that the mixed breath there is a little familiar?”

A few seconds later, a girl’s face flashed through Locke’s mind. Yes, this abnormal vision should be caused by her!

“Ah~”

A deafening roar pulled Locke back to reality. Following the roar, he saw that the eyes of the energy-devouring beast were red, and its body was shrouded in a violent aura. Anyone could tell that this energy-devouring beast had obviously been stimulated by something and had become crazier.

It was incomparably sure that the human in front of it was definitely with that human girl! One came to attract its attention, and the other took the opportunity to refine the energy-devouring herb!

Although it was very fast, it was too late to get there. Therefore, it only had one thought now, and that was to tear up the human in front of it!

“Despicable human!”

The energy-devouring beast roared, and light balls burst out from its mouth, shooting toward Locke one after another.

Boom!

Countless big holes appeared on the ground in an instant.

Looking at the light balls shooting at him, Locke only felt a tingling in his scalp.

Locke took a deep breath. Now he could see that the energy-devouring beast had already firmly believed that he was on the same side as that woman.

Locke had no choice but to start running again.

“Damn it! Who the hell dared to provoke the energy-devouring beast?”

On the ground, a group of people was hiding in the cave, several magic arrays had been arranged around to prevent them from being affected.

“The energy-devouring beast protects a kind of herb called the energy-devouring herb. Refining the energy-devouring herb can not only improve one’s strength but also make magic power more refined. It seems that this person has stolen the energy-devouring herb from the energy-devouring beast.”

“He is busy now. Maybe we can take the opportunity to sneak attack him.” A gloomy voice said.

“He must be a genius of some super force who has been able to resist such a long time under the attack of the energy-devouring beast.”

“Moreover, whoever gets the energy-devouring herb will become the target of the energy-devouring beast. If you don’t want to die, I advise you to give up this idea.”

Hearing the crazy sound of the energy-devouring beast, the onlookers on the ground could not help but feel a little scared.

Two hours later.

Puff!

A figure rushed out of the smelly mud.

“Bah~ Bah~”

Smelling the stench from his body, Locke felt his stomach churn and almost vomited. Fortunately, he encountered a swamp during his escape. Otherwise, he didn’t know how long he would be chased by the energy-devouring beast.

“It stinks!”

Just as Locke wanted to use the water magic to clean himself, a soft voice came.

Locke frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

Four slender figures appeared in his sight. Seeing the enchanting figure in a white robe in the middle, Locke’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Irene Peter…

They hadn’t seen each other for a long time. To his surprise, Irene Peter had become a level-6 practitioner. Besides, she had a vigorous aura, not as weak as she had been when she had just been breakthrough.

The two men and a woman beside her were also quite good in strength. All of them were level-7 mages. Judging from their auras, the ordinary level-7 mage would never be their match.

“Eh~” The girl next to Irene stared at Locke and said in surprise, “I didn’t expect that there is a level-4 mage here.”

“A level-4 mage dares to come to the middle circle. You’re brave.”

The girl seemed to be free and easy.

However, as she spoke, she couldn’t help frowning. She covered her nose and said, “But your body is stinky. Go to wash quickly.”

Seeing that Locke didn’t say anything, the girl was stunned for a few seconds. She looked at Locke in confusion and asked, “Why don’t you say anything? Are you a mute?”

Seeing that Locke was still silent, the girl showed a pitying look.

Irene stared at Locke with a gleam shining in her eyes. Somehow, she felt that the man in front of her was a little familiar. However, she was sure that she had never felt such an aura, let alone the person in front of her, “Have we met before?”

Locke shook his head.

At the same time, several laughter sounds were coming from the distance. Locke turned around and saw several familiar figures walking toward him.

Seeing several people in front of them, the laughter disappeared in an instant and they became vigilant.

Feeling the pressure from the two young men beside Irene, Beerbohm waved his hand, beckoning the people behind him to retreat and change a path. But when he saw the mud figures in front of Irene and the others, he couldn’t help but pause for a second.

“Parker?”

Beerbohm stared at Locke for a while and then tried to call his name.

Locke nodded helplessly, “Yes, it’s me.”

“How could you speak?”

The girl who had suspected Locke was a mute pouted and said.

Shrugging his shoulders, Locke smiled and said, “I’ve never said that I’m a mute.”

“What’s wrong with you?”

Beerbohm asked in surprise, looking at Locke’s discomfiture.

Locke said awkwardly, “I was frightened by the horrible magical beast, so I fell into the swamp accidentally.”

Hearing that Locke was frightened to fall into the swamp, the people behind Beerbohm couldn’t help laughing. However, the two men beside Irene looked more disdainful.

The man next to Irene took a glance at Locke indifferently and said, “Well, let’s get out of here first.”

A level-4 mage was like an ant in his eyes.

“Okay.”

Another man nodded, “We do need to leave this area as soon as possible. Although the energy-devouring beast has left, it may come back at any time. If it gets entangled with us, we will be much slower than others.”

After discussing, they slowly floated up and flew into the distance.

“You shouldn’t have come here. You’d better go back to the periphery if you have a chance.”

Irene paused for a while and suddenly turned around to look at Locke and said.

After saying that, she turned into a beam of light and flew into the distance.

“Parker, I seem to have seen them once from a distance. They seem to be from the Imperial Mage Academy of the Catacoton Kingdom. Do you know them?” Looking at the direction in which Irene and the others left, Pran Elsa asked.

Locke shook his head and said, “I just happened to meet him. They are superior to others. How could they know a nobody like me?”

Hearing Locke’s words, they didn’t doubt it. The Imperial Mage Academy of the Catacoton Kingdom was very powerful. Parker was only a level-4 mage. How could he have any connection with the geniuses there?

“The small fry has their way of living, so don’t have to admire others.”

Beerbohm comforted him with a smile. Then he asked, “Parker, a relic has appeared fifty miles away. Are you going to take a chance with us?”
