Chapter 1074: The Witch in the Forest
"This old guy is not leaving yet?"
Zhang Tuohai raised his eyebrows and rushed over with the water element, ready to include the old man in the range of the fog of deception, darken his vision and then kill this guy.
Seeing the fog of deception coming, the old man kept backing away, raised the wooden staff in his hand high, and chanted a difficult spell loudly.
As the last syllable ended, a fireball the size of a washbasin flew towards Zhang Tuohai.
Zhang Tuohai quickly squatted down to avoid the fireball, and then let the water element return a huge water ball.
A water ball the same size as a washbasin was thrown at the old man.
Although the old man was old, his legs and feet were very nimble and he dodged the water ball with a quick move.
However, the water element showed no sign of stopping and threw huge water balls at the old man.
The old man dodged left and right, avoiding one water ball after another.
However, he did not notice that a pool of water had accumulated in the open space under his feet, and the water was flowing around and spreading towards the fog of deception.
Another water ball came at him, and the old man dodged it, accidentally stepping into the water.
Then a chain of lightning hit the puddle.
Swish!
A blue electric light spread along the puddle to the old man's body, turning him into charcoal.
After confirming that there were no other rebels at the scene, Zhang Tuohai removed the fog of deception and walked in front of these people with the water element.
Zhang Tuohai used a dagger to cut the ropes on these people.
These people knelt on the ground in gratitude, thanking Zhang Tuohai for saving their lives.
"No need to thank me. I just couldn't bear to watch it, so I just helped out. From now on, it's up to you to decide whether to deal with those Luoyue people or escape."
After saying this, Zhang Tuohai turned around and ran down the mountain.
He had done his best by helping these people out of their predicament, and he had no obligation to escort them away.
Many people wanted to catch up with Zhang Tuohai and ask him to escort them away. At the very least, they had to follow Zhang Tuohai to avoid being caught up by those people from the Luoyue Clan.
They wanted to keep up with Zhang Tuohai, but his pace was too fast. They were left behind by Zhang Tuohai after just a few dozen steps.
Zhang Tuohai quickly walked to the beach and came to his boat. He carefully checked the condition of the hull. After confirming that no one had tampered with it, he immediately pushed the boat into the sea and rowed towards the sea.
By the time those people from the mountain chased to the beach, Zhang Tuohai was almost out of sight.
"Get to work." Zhang Tuohai summoned the water element to help row the boat.
He himself was lying on the boat, watching a movie on his mobile phone.
Rowing is too tiring, so just let the summoned creatures do it.
The water element rowed the boat tirelessly, and the boat shuttled through the wind and waves, moving forward rapidly.
Dark clouds covered Zhang Tuohai's head, and bursts of muffled thunder sounded from time to time.
"Is a storm coming?" Zhang Tuohai looked up at the dark clouds above his head and sped up the water element.
It's just a small boat. It's already the limit for it to sail on the sea on a sunny day. Logically, this thing is not used to sail on the sea, but to allow crew members who fall into the water to float on the sea.
If it happens to be a stormy day, it will definitely sink.
Zhang Tuohai doesn't want to fall into the sea again.
The water element received the order and paddled forward rapidly. Zhang Tuohai also squinted his eyes and looked forward.
After about ten minutes, we finally saw the outline of the island.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were becoming denser and denser, like a big pot hanging over one's head. Lightning flashed across the clouds, casting a beam of light on the dark sea, and then quickly disappeared.
The waves on the sea were becoming more and more violent, lifting the small boat to the top of the waves from time to time, and then throwing it to the bottom of the valley the next second.
Zhang Tuohai took over the oars, and relying on the excellent rowing skills he had developed in the spiritual realm, he maneuvered among the huge waves, and finally managed to reach the shore before the huge waves overturned his small boat.
Crash!
The moment the boat hit the beach , heavy rain fell from the sky.
Zhang Tuohai hurriedly pulled the boat a few steps towards the island, and then rushed towards a forest.
This forest is dense and lush, which can reduce a lot of rain.
Zhang Tuohai did not prepare rain gear, mainly because there was no rain gear for sale in Alexandria Port.
Next time I'll have to prepare a rainproof tent.
Zhang Tuohai walked towards the depths of the woods, trying to see if there was any place where he could shelter from the rain.
As he walked, Zhang Tuohai suddenly came across a small wooden house with wisps of smoke rising from it.
"It's a little strange that there's a small house here, but I have to go and take a look."
Seeing this small house that suddenly appeared, Zhang Tuohai felt something was strange. However, this was one of the few places nearby where one could shelter from the rain, so Zhang Tuohai had to give it a try anyway.
Otherwise, it’s not a big deal to be in the rain all the time.
Boom boom boom.
Zhang Tuohai knocked on the door.
Crunch——
With a harsh friction sound, the door was opened.
The person who opened the door was a girl dressed as a witch with freckles on her face, a canine tooth, and a pointed hat.
"Excuse me, who are you?" the girl dressed as a little witch asked timidly.
"I am a stranded sailor, washed up here by the sea. I want to find a place to take shelter from the rain. Is it convenient? I can pay you some money."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"Here, please come in, Mr. Sailor."
The little witch opened the door and let Zhang Tuohai enter the room.
The room was not big, but it was neatly furnished with a bed, a desk, a chair, a set of dry pots, crystal bottles and other utensils, as well as a dozen thick books. The edges of the books had turned dark yellow, and they were obviously quite old.
There was also a fireplace against the wall with a roaring fire in it.
"Thank you so much." Zhang Tuohai stood by the fireplace, stretched out his hands to warm the fire, so that the clothes could dry as quickly as possible.
"Please sit down, Mr. Sailor." The little witch moved a chair over.
"Thank you, but if I sit, where will you sit?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"I'll just sit on the bed." said the little witch.
"Thank you very much." Zhang Tuohai sat on the chair.
The little witch sat on the bed, her feet gently swinging back and forth, her hands holding the bed board, her head lowered, unknown what she was thinking.
Zhang Tuohai didn't know what to say, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, the little witch raised her head and said to Zhang Tuohai: "I know some magic to eliminate fatigue. Would you like to try it, Mr. Sailor?"
