18.Frozen and Samage

"Only 13% mana left."

Li Xi was in a hurry, although utilizing the shadow to manipulate the Gatling consumed less mana, such a consumption made the already small amount of mana nearly depleted.

The two short knives in his hands flew up and down, slashing the beasts in his way, Li Xi began to speed up.

With an average of 200 attack points, Li Xi could guarantee that the beasts that broke through the Gatling Barrage's close proximity would be instantly torn apart.

"Three hundred meters to the edge of the beasts, you need to break through two hundred meters fast." Zangani reminded as an aid, as long as Li Xi was a hundred meters closer to the edge, Shadow Jump would allow Li Xi to escape the siege instantly.

The black cloud formed by the swarming creatures constantly chased after Li Xi and moved to attack, but Li Xi's speed was even faster, his figure constantly approaching the edge of the beasts.

There were no accidents, and it was absolutely possible to escape, only that every step now required a huge effort to do so!

"Good."

Li Xi growled in a low voice, the veins on his forehead rippled, the shadows under his feet were like boiling, his heart was beating violently, desperately squeezing every bit of mana.

Five more Gatlings with bullet chains rose from the shadow space.

The spinning wheel spun, instantly erupting with a terrifying 'zip, zip, zip' sound.

Utilizing the Shadow Talent to manipulate fifteen Gatling at the same time was already Li Xi's limit, and as the mana was nearing exhaustion, Li Xi could be said to be fighting with his back against the wall.

The fifteen Gatlings adjusted their direction, no longer protecting Li Xi's entire body, but simultaneously aimed at the front of his body, the terrifying revving sound roared, and in an instant a channel was instantly cleared in front of his body.

The firepower suddenly increased by 50%, or concentrated attack, ten meters in front of his body was already devoid of life, all of them were cleared out.

Li Xi completely abandoned the defense behind him, the body instantly rushed forward at full speed.

There are fifteen Gatlings to add firepower, Li Xi can rest assured and boldly charge.

The mana in his body was decreasing more and more, Li Xi was fighting with his back against the wall.

As for the attacks from behind, the important parts were blocked with the short sword in his hand, and wounds appeared instantly in the unimportant positions.

The spikes penetrated, Li Xi immediately felt tingling, the whole piece of skin and flesh are no longer sensible, this is the sign of poisoning!!!!

Li Xi just sensed for a moment, and his heart settled down, because the toxin that had just been injected into his body was being rapidly decomposed.

After more than ten years of uninterruptedly taking various poisons, Li Xi had long since developed antibodies to general toxins, and the toxin of this unknown creature was not beyond the body's tolerance.

The situation was just as Li Xi thought, the body that was injected with the venom only had a tingling sensation in a small area, and it quickly subsided without any other reaction.

"150 meters, accelerate." Bengani was more anxious than even Li Xi, he could see a forelimb scythe with a ghostly light behind Li Xi, tearing Li Xi's clothes into pieces in a flash.

Fortunately, Li Xi these years by the Grue training is not for nothing, defense is still very good, with sharp barbs of the forelimb scythe can only leave a shallow wound on Li Xi's back, did not wait for the blood to flow out, the wound is almost healed.

"100 meters, it's here." Zangani anxiously shouted.

Li Xi's eyes were resolute, not wavering in any way, still maneuvering the fifteen Gatlings to madly charge forward.

Even though Zangani kept reminding him that he could use Shadow Jump to escape, Li Xi remained unmoved.

Until the sound of bullet feedback appeared to break Li Xi's eyes reacted, he reached the edge of the beasts, relying on the foundation laid down by a body refining sorcerer and the fifteen Gatling, he hardened himself and killed through the hundreds of thousands of swarming creatures.

"Are you crazy?"

Zangani asked loudly in disbelief, how dangerous it was just now, obviously he could escape before a hundred meters, why did he need to be attacked by so many to kill out hard.

Li Xi did not explain, fifteen Gatling at the same time to turn behind, crazy dense curtain of bullets against the pursuit of the beasts is a wild spray, instantly broken body limbs all over the ground.

May be feeling Li Xi's not to be messed with, the beasts in Li Xi killed through after actually stopped, and also without hesitation at the same time turned back to the territory just now, this look and just chased the appearance of completely different.

Gatling stopped rotating, the barrels of the guns were all emitting high temperature, after ten minutes of continuous firing at the highest frequency, these Gatlings had almost reached their limit of use.

Li Xi didn't pay any attention to Zangani, nor did he put the Gatling away, but reached out and grabbed it, a bottle of potion was already sent to his hand by a shadow tentacle.

Opening the cap of the bottle, Li Xi took a small sip, almost only one tenth of the amount.

The potion just into the belly, Li Xi's face printed abnormal redness, a breath of steam outwardly, this is mana beyond the controllable range will only appear the situation.

Li Xi's gaze was always staring at a certain place from the moment he killed through the beasts, even the Gatling aimed behind him was turning to aim there, the blackened muzzle showing off the gunpowder violence, not to mention the fact that these Gatlings had just massacred tens of thousands of beasts, their killing aura was bursting at the seams.

Li Xi's brows were furrowed, and there was even a jump between his eyebrows, although he didn't feel anything, his intuition kept prompting him of danger, instinctively telling him not to go over there.

"What's wrong?" Zangani asked in disbelief, he didn't feel anything either.

"Come out," Leahy said in a cold voice as his muscles tightened.

The location Leahy was looking at was nothing more than the intersection of a few large trees, obviously sensing nothing, but instinct told him there was danger there, deadly danger.

"If you don't come out then don't blame me."

The Gatling dispersed its heat, the temperature lowered quite a bit, Leahy's fingers moved slightly, fifteen Gatlings fired at the same time.

'Zip zip zip.'

Fifteen chains of terrifying bullets attacked, instantly shattering the place Li Xi was focusing on into a sieve, even the few trees were cut off at the waist.

The entire ground was even plowed, Li Xi dared to say that the place that was attacked was an ants' nest that was blown to pieces.

But when the Gatling ceased fire, there was still nothing there, as if Li Xi's perception was wrong and he was attacking the air.

"Just now the beasts left not because my firepower was strong enough or because they left the territory range, but they sensed your existence, they were scared and afraid of you because of you, that's why they spared me to return to the territory, in their consciousness, you are more dangerous than me."

Li Xi's eyes were dead fixed on the area that had just been swept by thousands of bullets, the touch of danger between his eyebrows was still there, which meant that the other party hadn't left, they had just adopted a way that they couldn't detect.

The whole body was tense, had been raised to twelve points of vigilance, the mana that exceeded the limit of the flesh was even ready to spurt out, the shadow under his feet was quiet, but Li Xi guaranteed that as soon as he saw the enemy at the first moment he could instantly use the shadow jump to get close and decapitate him.

"Thought it was some kind of powerful character, a small sorcerer apprentice, can't even see me, not much fun."

"Forget it, killing you will only tarnish my reputation."

Finally there was a voice coming from there, but it was clear that he could determine that the voice was coming from there, but Li Xi observed it dozens of times over and over again, he just couldn't see any sign of anyone's existence.

Especially with this emotionless tone of the other party, it reminded Li Xi of cold weather that could freeze a person into a popsicle.

With his eyebrows furiously throbbing, his mouth and tongue drying up, and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, he had an urge to flee.

"Ice Age Grand Sorcery!"

Li Xi's pupils rounded up, the moment of approaching danger made his brain frantically remind him to escape, but his body could no longer move just as the thought had risen.

He did not know in which instant, with Li Xi as the center, within a radius of ten meters were all covered by a thick layer of ice, and Li Xi's fearful gaze and intention to turn around and try to escape could still be seen through the ice.

Oversized ice emitting low temperature cold air, the whole area in an instant from summer to winter.

The forest was quiet, Li Xi did not see the other party's figure from the beginning to the end, as if it was just casually releasing a sorcery, and then left.

The sky darkened until darkness fully descended, and the forest resounded with hissing and roaring sounds.

There were quite a few fierce beasts that saw the large ice block that suddenly appeared, but none of them came over, all hiding far away with their tails between their legs.

The cold ice created with sorcery exuded the terrifying aura of its maker, which was more powerful, terrifying, and humongous than any manticore's aura they had ever seen!

As the dark night passed and the sky brightened, white mist vaporized, Li Xi's eyelids inside the large ice block suddenly jumped and

"Boom."

The large ice block that had existed in the forest for an entire day finally exploded, and Li Xi jumped out shivering.

"It's definitely close to a level one attack."

Zangani's chagrined voice appeared in his head, he hadn't even noticed the moment that Ice Age Sorcery was released, which made the self-proclaimed demigod powerhouse ashamed of himself.

It wasn't that the unseen sorcerer apprentice's strength exceeded his, it could only be said that this sorcerer apprentice's attainments in certain sorceries exceeded Zangani's knowledge.

The mana on Li Xi's body operated rapidly, the cold air turned into mist and dispersed, and his heart was even more fearful, he drank one tenth of the Black Pearl Potion when he sensed that there was a danger, replenishing his almost depleted mana all over the body to 110%, and was even more ready to unlock the triple gravity at any time.

This could be said to be Li Xi's strongest state!

However, it did not occur to him that under such an attack, he did not even have a chance to prepare, and was frozen just as soon as his thoughts moved.

The gap was too great, the kind of gap that could not be crossed by any of his means.

Li Xi didn't understand, suddenly came across such a powerful sorcerer apprentice, and suddenly struck out at himself, and didn't kill himself after doing so, where was the rationale for doing so?

Fun?

Or for what purpose?

There was no such thing as a non-killable treaty between sorcerers, and as long as it wasn't too big a deal, there was no problem at all with killing a few sorcerers.

Often a sorcerer's upbringing was a bloody killing, most of them of course being the bones of the fey!

Leahy had a bit of a guess, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he could only talk about it later.

"It's good to survive, there are still two days left, let's go."

The most important task at present is to first arrive at Tiama City to meet Gelu, once he didn't arrive within five days, Li Xi didn't even dare to think what Gelu would do to him.

Originally time is not rich, now was frozen for a day, good thing a mana luxury replenished back, can maintain full speed ahead.

Time flashed to the fourth day, Li Xi very smoothly traveled to only one thousand miles from Tiama City.

The latter journey went smoothly Li Xi did not dare to think, no longer encountered any beasts whose strength exceeded his, the ones he encountered were all within his range of coping, which allowed him not to detour, and proceeded in a straight line, and looked to be able to arrive within five days.

"Do you feel it?" Zangani asked.

"Well, sure, the scent of the beasts has dissipated in many places, dissipated for no more than a day, like it was purposely cleaned out."

"I've felt it up close, those residual scents are very familiar." Li Xi said.

"Trapping you in place for a day, and then striking out to solve those fierce beasts that you couldn't handle, I don't know what to think." Zangani said breathlessly.

Li Xi didn't say anything, but recalled the day's journey, some of the fierce beasts' residual scent made Li Xi's heart skip a beat, and there were a few that had obviously reached a level one, but all of them were quickly resolved.

There were no traces of intense exchanges left in the original place, almost all of them were killed in seconds!

If he hadn't felt it wrong, the one who froze him definitely hadn't reached level one, at most it was the peak of Sorcerer Apprentice, but he could still kill those level one beasts in seconds!

How powerful!

Li Xi shuddered just thinking about it.

Obviously, we are all at the same level, why is the gap so big!

The rest of the journey was really very smooth, did not encounter any difficulties, in the evening of the fifth day to see the walls of Tiama City.

Li Xi had learned long ago that the wizard world was the world that was polarized, the wizards mastered the universe level civilization, but the life of the ordinary people was still very backward and feudal.

Various kingdoms, fiefdoms, knights, holding the life and death of the huge populace, although they would not randomly kill civilians and oppress them like on Earth, they would not let the civilians hold too much knowledge and wealth.

Not poor, not rich, this is the life of the ordinary people in the wizard world!

Tiama City belonged to the newly built city under the Purple Flame Sorcerer Academy, established by a sorcerer apprentice who had no hope of breaking through to the first level of official sorcerer.

Among the sorcerer apprentices, only a very small portion of them could break through the first level of official sorcerers, these official sorcerers had long since lost the habits of the general public due to their long lifespan, they preferred conquering the otherworldly worlds and researching strange and bizarre knowledge, and tended to spend most of their lives within their laboratories.

And those sorcerer apprentices who didn't break through the first level, most of them would return to the life of ordinary people, as a nobleman, as a city lord.

Although the sorcerer apprentices didn't break through the first level, they also broke the shackles of life, and could easily live for hundreds of years, and they would reproduce heirs and establish long-lasting families within their own territories.

With their backs to the academy, these sorcerer apprentice families were as dense as the stars, and they were closely connected to the academy, building the social underbelly of the sorcerer world.

The lord of Tiama City was established by a sorcerer apprentice who had no hope of breaking through to the first level a hundred years ago, and his name was Samachi.

From what Li Xi had inquired, this Samachi was also a very powerful character.

He failed to promote that year, did not return to his family, but came here alone, a hundred years ago there were only some small tribes here, it was he who unified the tribes and built the city.

And relying on his own contacts accumulated in the Purple Flame Sorcerer's Academy vigorously developed, but a hundred years time, Tiama City's comprehensive strength than before more than ten times.

If it hadn't developed well, it wouldn't have hung its name in the Purple Flame Sorcerer Academy, allowing the Purple Flame Sorcerer Academy to send sorcerers over to defend it.

"Finally arrived."

Li Xi, who had continuously maintained his peak speed, wearily walked towards Tiama City.
