Chapter 1045: Chapter 1043 Blind Eye (9) Chapter 1045: Chapter 1043 Blind Eye (9) Facts proved that invisible enemies were often more intimidating than visible ones.
Just now, Charlotte, who had been extrely cautious, directly charged forward alone—a testant to this.
Perhaps this was the reason everyone liked to use the indescribable to frighten others.
Unfortunately, facing Charlotte’s act, the target exhibited agility far surpassing its predecessors.
Fu Qian, who had caught up with the team, only managed to admire the target’s heroic stance for a mont before it disappeared again into the darkness.
“It’s our equipnt, even the patterns are the sa.”
Yet, when Charlotte beca serious, she showed a considerably calm mind, not tempted in the least to stray from the team by such crude thods.
“But that thing is very fast; if we continue to pursue, it will probably take quite an effort, what do you think?”
Having laid out his judgent, he looked at the Sage Old Master with a questioning gaze.
“It doesn’t seem like an attack.”
The latter nodded slightly and said.
“Not an attack… Do you an our people have undergone so transformation?”
Although it indeed was the highest possibility, it was clear that they were even less willing to accept this latter possibility.
Silently undergoing a transformation—the re thought of such a scene was enough to make anyone’s heart skip a beat.
For a mont, Shi Gaozhi couldn’t even summon the effort to mock anything, stepping forward with a deeply furrowed brow.
“There are many possibilities; without catching that fellow, we can’t make a final judgnt. However, based on the current situation, the threat isn’t significant—”
Before the Sage Old Master could finish, a dark red flash vanished.
The next mont, his head had lost half its mass, and he slumped down, his tongue visibly rolling inside his mouth.
The cause of this fatal wound was a beam that seed intensely hot, originating from the eye area of Shi Gaozhi’s face, which was obscured.
“…You’re insane!”
In the deadly silence, Ice’s shout rang out in the dark, no longer cautious of causing any disturbance.
As she questioned him, the entire team almost simultaneously jumped to one side, distancing themselves from the frenzied Shi Gaozhi, fully on guard.
Had he undergone a transformation too?
Otherwise, it was incomprehensible that he would conduct such a mad act, directly targeting the Sage.
“Idiot.”
However, Shi Gaozhi showed no intention of fleeing, even sneering through gritted teeth.
“If it weren’t for , you’d all be dead.”
What did he an?
The fully alert team paused in confusion, but as Shi Gaozhi seed still capable of communication, no one rushed to take action at the mont.
“We must abandon our plan—it’s clear the Sage underestimated the target’s level of awakening.”
Shi Gaozhi pointed at the corpse of the Sage Old Master, his gaze however, was on Ice.
“So none of you saw his transformation just now? Any later and your head would have been burnt to ash!”
The Sage’s transformation? He got hit too and tried to kill just now?
Ice reacted swiftly, instantly understanding the implication in Shi Gaozhi’s words, and looked down hastily. This…
Indeed, there had been a change, but it wasn’t what you described!
However, the sight that t her eyes left her unsure how to react.
The head had returned to normal.
The Sage, whose head had been blown off monts before, now had a fully intact head.
Simultaneously, his Golden Staff exploded with light, sweeping across all directions.
…
It seed as though a torrent had rushed by, and Ice only felt that her previously chaotic thoughts had beco tranquil in an instant, her mind impeccably clear as if nothing could deceive her any longer.
“Sage…”
When she looked at Shi Gaozhi again, he was already dumbfounded.
“Heal .”
The Sage Old Master didn’t rush to attend to him but shouted at Ice beside him.
Heal?
Just as Ice was wondering what needed healing, she saw a small hollow appear on the Sage’s face where he had been hit, which rapidly expanded outward.
The healing that had just occurred seed to be an illusion; the damage was being slowly released, buying ti for healing to take effect.
Instantly understanding, Ice didn’t hesitate any longer. A milky white radiance rose from her body, seeping into the Sage’s head.
The expansion of the wound slowed instantly, and after a stalemate, it slowly began to shrink.
“What exactly is happening?”
In the midst of the tumultuous situation, Charlotte could not hold back anymore. She stepped forward, grabbed Shi Gaozhi’s collar, and demanded loudly.
“I get it, I understand everything, it’s not the sa…”
Despite being choked to the point of breathing difficulty, Shi Gaozhi still managed to laugh breathlessly.
“It really is a treasure of learning; this trip was so worth it!”
“What nonsense are you spouting? Were you trying to get us all killed just now?”
Charlotte clearly struggled to grasp the puzzling language of Shi Gaozhi.
However, her response was simple—she increased her grip, nearly popping his eyes out.
Such a bold move suggested that Shi Gaozhi’s rays might not be able to be used consecutively at that mont.
…
Indeed, that was the case.
At this mont, Fu Qian had confird his own thoughts.
Brother TP’s seemingly nonsensical words actually held so significant insight.
Making a Holy Garnt with bare hands might be difficult, but what if it was just an illusion?
The scene of the recent escape, could it be that the supposed zombie was not a zombie at all, but actually a team mber acting as a rearguard?
The Holy Grail distorted everyone’s vision in an incomprehensible way, making that person appear as a zombie.
Considering why that brother ran if he wasn’t a zombie, it was easy to understand when thinking backward.
Why couldn’t his own group of six also appear as zombies through his eyes?
Imagine an Exploration Team where you’re covering the rear, and suddenly, everyone ahead of you starts crawling in the darkness…
Even turning back and chasing you when you try to escape—the frantic run would undoubtedly be a normal reaction.
Understanding this point simplifies Shi Gaozhi’s alarming action—he suddenly saw the Sage Old Master turn into a zombie and even tried to knock out Ice with a fire punch in a desperate preemptive strike.
The target was clear, the process was natural, and for concealnt, he misled only one assassin.
It’s hard to believe that this was guidance from an Extraordinary Item. If it were up to him, his choice would have been similar.
Of course, the Sage was still more cunning by an inch. Even though he did not imdiately understand the opponent’s tactic, he still managed to turn the tables by setting a margin of error for himself.
“Let him go!”
At this point, under Ice’s healing, the Sage seed completely recovered. He sighed and indicated for Charlotte to release him.
“Through the misdirection of misaligned illusions, deceiving different people in different ways—a clever tactic, but we can move on now.”
The next mont, he smiled slightly.
“Just as it can discern our abilities, there are so things I also need it to use once before I can make a targeted arrangent.”
“Now, you won’t see any more false images.”
