Chapter 5: The Bottom of the Mage Tower

The Old Mage’s words directly put everyone present into a petrified state. A Mage who always claimed to be elegant was actually swearing? This was as rare as a sow climbing a tree.

“Respected Mage Sir!” a guy boldly asked: “May I ask, are you satisfied with this thing?”

“Thing?” the Old Mage was stunned for a moment, then realized they were talking about Old Xie. He immediately smiled ferociously: “Satisfied, really too satisfied. For me, he is even more important than a Divine Artifact!”

“Oh, really?” that person immediately said in surprise: “Then may I ask, how much do you plan to pay to buy him!”

“Me? Not a penny!” the Old Mage then sneered: “Because dead people don’t need to spend money!”

“Ah! No!” the few guys understood immediately and screamed as they tried to run out. But as soon as they took a step, they were swallowed by flames that suddenly appeared from under their feet. In just a few seconds, their bodies and equipment turned into flying ash, but strangely, the wooden floor was unharmed. Obviously, the Old Mage had reached a shocking level of control over Magic.

After seeing the fate of those people, Old Xie curled his lips in disdain, cursing in his heart that they deserved it.

The Old Mage saw Old Xie’s action of curling his lips, smiled slightly, then gently put Old Xie down. While taking out a handkerchief to wipe his face, he smiled at Old Xie: “Boy, you are lucky. You met me. If it were someone else, they would definitely treat you as a monster!”

Old Xie still did not speak, just thinking in his heart, what exactly is the identity of this Old Mage? It seems he is very familiar with the mark on my brow! Is he very familiar with my mother?

Just as he thought of this, Old Xie’s stomach growled twice. The Old Mage heard it and immediately knew the child was hungry. He just wanted to pick up Old Xie to go out and eat, but soon put him back in the basket, smiling bitterly: “Sigh, with your appearance, how can I raise you?”

Then he helplessly walked out by himself. Not long after, the Old Mage brought back a bowl of porridge and fed Old Xie personally, looking very kind, completely different from the image of killing people in anger just now. Old Xie did not care about this. He just ate big mouthfuls. After finishing a bowl, he closed his eyes to sleep, appearing unusually honest. This made the Old Mage feel very happy. He even held Old Xie and sang a lullaby to him. It was just that his voice was too shocking, completely noise. Old Xie, who could not bear it, directly punched the Old Mage in the face.

Although he was a baby, the Behemoth Bloodline, plus the Four Symbols Formation just carved, had already made his strength very great. This punch made the Old Mage’s face swell up, hurting him so much that he howled! While cursing, he casually threw Old Xie into the basket and ignored him anymore!

The next day, the Old Mage took Old Xie away from here. Old Xie was hidden by the Old Mage the whole time, so he did not know where he had passed. He only knew that he stayed in the Old Mage’s carriage for about two or three months. During this period, the Old Mage never stopped, just kept rushing on the road. Except for a Refined Steel Puppet feeding Old Xie three times a day, the Old Mage did not meet Old Xie again, and he did not know what he was busy with.

Finally, one day, Old Xie’s basket was carried out of the carriage by the Old Mage’s Puppet. Because Old Xie’s eyes were covered by beast skin, he did not know exactly where he had arrived. He only felt that he seemed to have entered a very large building. After walking for a while, Old Xie felt that he was put down again. Then, the Puppet walked away by itself.

Old Xie smelled a faint fishy stench in his nose. So, curious about where he was, he pushed aside the beast skin covering him, turned over and climbed up, and looked around.

“Damn it!” Old Xie immediately cursed in anger.

It turned out that the place he was in was actually a place specially for raising animals, and he himself was placed in a huge beast pen. Obviously, this Old Mage was raising him like an animal! Thinking of this, Old Xie was furious, cursing in his heart: “Damn old thing, wait until I recover my strength, I will tear you into pieces!”

However, Old Xie also knew that was a matter for the future. What he had to do now was just to set a goal for himself. Since he was here, he should make the best of it. Old Xie then began to observe the situation here.

He saw that the place he was in was a very large space, seemingly the basement of a large building. There were many huge iron railings here. Each steel pillar was as thick as an arm, and there were even mysterious Runes on them. One look and he knew they were extremely solid. They separated individual cells, totaling about thirty or so. Each room was not small, about forty square meters. Most of these cells had things imprisoned in them.

Old Xie was locked in a separate cell near the door. The rooms next to him were empty. Further inside, there was a group of short creatures. They also had two hands and two feet like the Human Race, but their faces were as big as a basin, and their height was only about one meter. They had pointed ears and wore tattered beast skin clothes, looking pitiful.

“Hehe, why do they look so much like that short elder in the movie ‘Star Wars Prequel’? Are they the same race?” Old Xie said with a laugh.

Then he skipped over these dozens of people and looked inside. Immediately, he was attracted by a group of peculiar creatures. This was a kind of rhinoceros with scales, its size completely comparable to an elephant. Its muscles were bulging, looking extremely majestic. Only one could be locked in a cell. Not only that, its four limbs were locked by thick iron chains, and even its eyes were covered by thick blindfolds, obviously to prevent it from going berserk!

Old Xie had never seen this thing before. From its terrifying horn more than two feet long, he could tell that this thing was definitely a ferocious beast. Moreover, its colorful scales looked very tough, obviously its defense was quite good. Old Xie even felt a fluctuation of special energy from it, thinking it must know some Spells. Such a guy was undoubtedly very difficult to deal with, but he did not know how the owner here was so powerful to raise as many as twelve of them.

Old Xie continued to look inside and found another strange thing. This was a green two-headed Wyvern, about five or six meters tall. One Wyvern occupied two rooms. Their two hind legs were thick and powerful, and although their front claws were short, they were very flexible, and they had sharp claws on them, obviously possessing strong combat power. Of course, at this time, it was also bound all over by iron chains. Except for the two heads that ate food, no part of its body could move. There were four of these guys.

As for the deepest part of the place, there was a separate cell, particularly large. Inside was imprisoned a giant Spider. It was four meters high just lying there, and its body occupied a range of seven or eight meters. Its eight huge long legs were six or seven meters long and more than a foot thick. Its entire body was wrapped in a layer of pitch-black keratin tissue, possessing extremely strong protection. Old Xie even felt a very strong spiritual energy from its body. Judging only from the intensity of the spiritual energy, this thing’s strength was only slightly inferior to that Old Mage, completely a very powerful existence!
