Chapter 181: The Border of Power

The startled look in the senior apprentice's eyes was not only due to Thain's arrogance and indifference, but also because Jack had heard similar words during the last session of the Regional Holy Tower Academy.

That was a quasi-apprentice of the Thunderous Holy Tower, an existence known as the "Desperate One" during the last regional war.

The Desperate One, as the name suggests, is an existence that makes all apprentices feel desperate for it. It is simply invincible.

This desperate man also swept through the five Holy Tower Academy regions during the last war and won the first place in the regional Holy Tower War Academy standings.

I don’t know if I should say Jack is lucky.

He had a lucky escape in the hands of that desperate man.

It was also the words that the peak apprentice of Thunder Tower kept saying when Jack was being hunted that year: "Weak people don't deserve to live!"

This sentence stayed with Jack for fifty years.

From the newly promoted senior apprentice after the last regional holy tower war, to the current quasi-magician with profound background.

Jack's strength and knowledge reserve had increased to an unknown extent, but his fear of the apprentice from the Thunderous Holy Tower had not weakened.

Countless times, Jack seemed to hear the cold and disdainful voice of the peak apprentice in his sleep and meditation.

And Jack, who has been paying attention to the apprentice of Thunder Tower, knew that after the last regional Holy Tower Academy war, it took only two years for the other party to be promoted to a formal magician and have a "Thunder and Lightning" The title of "Controller".

In Jack's opinion, Thane's previous performance in battles was far from the lightning master's level during his apprenticeship.

But the cold evil energy cast by the two in an instant is surprisingly similar.

As he watched Thain go away and his figure gradually disappeared from sight, Jack did not dare to say another word.

Another female quasi-magician apprentice discovered Jack's anomaly and couldn't help walking up to Jack and asked: "What's wrong with you?"

The female magician's inquiry finally brought Jack back to his senses, but his body trembled imperceptibly, and his face turned a little pale.

At this time, Jack's expression was very bad, but when faced with the female apprentice's inquiry, he still managed to squeeze out a smile and said: "I'm fine. Next, we will use this medium-sized resource point as the main defensive area."

…

Although the yew forest is a medium-sized resource point, Thain only gained an astonishing amount of points and the corpse of an alien creature here.

Unlike other resource points, you can easily collect some magic materials that interest you.

He couldn't put an entire yew tree, which was more than ten meters high and required several people to hug it, into his space bracelet.

From here we can also see another benefit of the regional Holy Tower Academy war for the apprentices participating in the war.

In addition to the points obtained, after the war is over, they can be exchanged for an astonishing number of energy crystals or magic coins.

The various resources obtained by the apprentices in the trial space will also be handled by the apprentices themselves.

Including the corpse of the alien creature that Thain had just harvested, it was also his private property.

After the yew forest, Thane passed through two medium-sized resource points and multiple small resource points.

It seems that every medium-sized resource point is guarded by alien creatures.

Restricted by some kind of magical restriction, these alien creatures cannot leave the scope of the resource point.

It can only be treated like a training object, waiting for the Holy Tower apprentices to kill it.

Since the number of apprentices in the Holy Tower often dominates, it is impossible for these medium-sized alien creatures to withstand the magic bombardment of the apprentices.

Especially when the amount and coverage of magic reaches a certain level on the battlefield, the overwhelming elemental scene is enough to make any hostile creature despair.

During this period, Thain gained hundreds more points and grabbed the corpse of an alien creature whose strength was comparable to that of a senior apprentice.

Because he did not follow the crowd and formed a team like others, Thain finally gained a certain reputation among the apprentices as time went by by virtue of his status as a lone ranger and his characteristics of quick, accurate and ruthless strikes.

Many mid-level and low-level apprentices privately call Thain "Golden Mask".

Since almost none of these apprentices knew Thain, and Thain's mask was quite eye-catching, this nickname was quite appropriate.

Until another half month passed, a winding river appeared in front of Thain.

A medium-sized resource point, the Secret Water Mine, is located under the river bed.

But what is surprising is that there are only a few middle and low-level apprentices outside the resource point, and there are no other high-level apprentices or quasi-magicians.

"Why don't any other senior or above apprentices come to mark this resource point?" Thain flew to the middle and low-level apprentices and asked.

The appearance of Thain made these Jizhiyuan Holy Tower apprentices salute respectfully.

Facing Thain's inquiry, one of the male apprentices with freckles on his cheeks replied respectfully: "Senior, there are several otherworldly water snakes guarding the secret water mine under the river bed, which is extremely difficult to deal with."

"One of our companions, Slari, was forced to activate the Holy Tower Medal and escape from the trial space early because he was poisoned by the water snake."

"As for why there are no senior or above apprentices here..." The male apprentice looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say or not to say.

On the contrary, a female intermediate apprentice beside him was outspoken, and took over the words of the male apprentice and said: "Three senior apprentices and two seniors at the quasi-magician level have been here before, but they left after a short stay, and they didn't seem to have any ideas about this medium-sized resource point."

"Why?" Sean asked coldly.

"Because the other side of this river is the apprentice area of ​​the Dark Shadow Holy Tower." The female apprentice pointed to the winding river in front of him and said.

The female apprentice's answer also made Sean stunned.

"Have we reached the border of the two holy tower apprentice drop-in areas so quickly? Why haven't I seen a large resource point yet?" Sean said to himself.

In fact, by observing the total number of apprentices that Sean has met during this period, it can be seen that he has actually gone astray.

When he first arrived at the trial space, Sean decided to move eastward and never look back.

This approach allows Sean to search for resource points along the way in an advancing manner without wasting time and distance.

But there is also a hidden danger, that is, he can't touch the resource points in the other three directions of the landing place, especially the western area.

If the five holy tower areas are divided equally, there should be four or five large resource points in each holy tower area.

Even if the strength of the Azure Origin Holy Tower is weak, it may not be a good thing to have too many resource points in this area.

But having three large resource points is not too much, right?

And Sean has not encountered any so far, and has come to the border area of ​​the two holy towers, which can only mean that he chose the wrong direction at the beginning.
