Grinding EXP From Fireball Skill

Chapter 373: Pursuit

It took Li Wei some time to find the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit.

He hurriedly shouted, "Savinia, wake up, wake up."

This was the secret code he had arranged with Savinia.

Only when Savinia heard the secret code would she deactivate her Fake Death Skill.

The other possibility was that if a certain amount of time passed and Li Wei still hadn’t arrived, Savinia would automatically deactivate the Fake Death Skill and find her own way out of the Ten Thousand Corpses Pit.

In her fake death state, Savinia could perceive disturbances in the outside world.

However, her perception was much weaker than usual.

Li Wei had to shout more than ten times before Savinia finally heard his voice.

She deactivated the Fake Death Skill, and her Soul Fire flared to life.

"Ah! Ptui! I’m over here!"

Savinia’s head was buried under a pile of corpses, and her voice couldn’t travel far.

However, Li Wei’s perception was constantly spread out around him.

He soon noticed the abnormality and, upon closer inspection, found Savinia’s head.

He quickly pushed aside the corpses and pulled her head out.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui! This is filthy."

Savinia spat out the bloody water from her mouth, a look of disgust on her face.

"AHHHH! I’m filthy! I need a new head!"

Savinia shrieked.

Li Wei used Mage’s Hand to carry her head and flew quickly into the distance.

"I don’t think your head is replaceable, is it?"

Li Wei was actually in the mood to joke.

He had relaxed a lot after leaving Storm City.

Savinia’s expression froze.

It really couldn’t be replaced.

"I don’t care, I don’t care! I’m dirty now! Waaaah..."

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I’ll find a place to wash you up."

Li Wei flew swiftly through the air.

He wasn’t in a hurry to take the Spatial Ring out of Savinia’s mouth.

Her head was disgustingly dirty right now, and Li Wei didn’t want to touch it.

Cleaning it came first.

Soon, Li Wei found a small stream.

He tossed Savinia’s head directly into it.

GLUG GLUG GLUG!

Bubbles streamed from Savinia’s mouth and nose.

She choked on the water. "COUGH, COUGH, COUGH! Are you trying to drown me?"

"Do the Undead need to breathe? Can you even drown?" Li Wei retorted.

Savinia’s head sank to the bottom. She stared up at Li Wei through the water, pondering for a moment.

’I guess I can’t drown.’

But it was still very unpleasant.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH! Hurry up and pull me out! It’s horrible in here!"

Li Wei fished Savinia’s head out of the water.

Seeing her face still stained with blood and her hair caked with all sorts of filth, he frowned.

He morphed the Mage’s Hand into a spinning barrel.

He tossed Savinia’s head inside, plunged it into the river, and spun it rapidly to wash off the grime.

"AHHHH! What are you doing?!"

"Let me go! When I get my power back, I’ll definitely kill you!"

"AHHHH!"

"GLUG GLUG!"

"SPUTTER SPUTTER SPUTTER!"

At first, Savinia was still screaming and shouting.

After being spun around for a while, she passed out.

A few minutes later, Li Wei lifted Savinia’s head out of the water.

It looked much more presentable now.

"All clean," Li Wei said with a smile.

Savinia’s expression was dazed, like a toy that had been played with too roughly.

"Alright, hurry up and spit out the Spatial Ring."

Hearing this, Savinia’s expression gradually returned to normal.

She looked at Li Wei, fuming with rage.

"You bastard! I’ll make you pay for this!"

"AHHHH! Don’t stick that in! It’s too big! Blegh..."

Drool trickled from the corner of Savinia’s mouth.

Her eyes were full of resentment.

Li Wei washed the Spatial Ring clean and glanced at Savinia, who was staring at him.

He shook his head and said, "I told you to spit it out yourself. You just had to make me reach in and dig it out."

"Couldn’t you have been a little gentler?! You practically dug my brains out!"

Savinia complained.

"What difference does it make whether an Undead like you has brains or not?"

Li Wei sneered.

"Hmph! Hurry up and find me a body."

"Oh, there just happens to be a Skeleton Monster over there. You can just use its body."

Li Wei activated his Golden Bone Ring, and a Skeleton Monster walked out from the woods.

It voluntarily took off its own head and placed Savinia’s head on its neck.

Savinia sighed in relief upon getting a new body.

’At least I’ve recovered some of my strength.’

’I won’t be at Li Wei’s mercy anymore.’

Savinia planned to ask her master to forge a more powerful body for her as soon as she returned.

Then, she would get her revenge on Li Wei!

Just as she had this thought, she felt a massive threat approaching.

She quickly looked at Li Wei and shouted, "Danger!"

Li Wei looked up, his expression turning grave.

Beneath the dim sky, a streak of golden light was hurtling toward them.

"I see it."

Li Wei grabbed Savinia, cast Fire Escape, and fled at high speed.

To avoid being spotted, he even deliberately flew low to the ground, weaving through the forest.

But it was no use.

Looking back, he saw the golden light in the sky was heading straight for him.

Li Wei thought it was Lancelot and grew extremely anxious.

A Summoning Rune Stone appeared in his hand.

’If it’s Lancelot, I’ll have to call out the Fire Element Elder to block him.’

Li Wei looked at Savinia and shouted, "Don’t you have a way to contact your master?"

"Tell him to come help! We’re being hunted!"

Savinia was shaken. She quickly said, "Wait a moment, I’ll try to contact my master."

"My master says you’re on your own. He’s been intercepted by the Grand Archbishop of the Divine Hall of Light."

Li Wei’s expression flickered, and he glanced back.

’Lancelot has confronted the Legendary Witch Lich?’

’Then the person chasing us isn’t Lancelot?’

’In that case, I might stand a chance.’

Li Wei put away the Summoning Rune Stone.

Within the Divine Hall of Light, only Lancelot possessed Legendary Level combat power.

The others were Pseudo-Legendary Level at best.

Inside Storm City, they could only unleash Pseudo-Legendary Level power with the boost from the Divine Hall of Light.

Now, out in the wild, they had lost the Divine Hall’s buff.

The pursuer was, at most, a Tier Six Peak expert.

’It’s not like I haven’t killed a Tier Six Peak enemy before.’

Li Wei had many ways to deal with a formidable Tier Six Peak opponent.

He couldn’t fly very fast while carrying Savinia.

The pursuer’s speed was astonishing; they were actually able to catch up to Li Wei even while he was using Fire Escape.

As they drew closer, Li Wei got a clear look at the person’s face.

’It’s him!’

The pursuer was the Grand Priest, Ortega.

The leader of the three Grand Priests, and also the strongest among them.

In his normal state, his strength was already at Tier Six Peak.

He was unrivaled within Tier Six.

With the power of the Divine Hall of Light amplifying him, he could even unleash Pseudo-Legendary Level power.

He had once used this power to severely injure Minotaur Arno, who was known as the strongest Tier Six Undead.

Minotaur Arno had once single-handedly defeated four Tier Six Paladins who had joined forces against him.

This showed that his title was no exaggeration.

Ortega’s strength was self-evident, even greater than four Tier Six Paladins combined.

He was staring intently at Li Wei’s retreating figure.

Through the Saint Hall of Light’s Divine Revelation Technique, he already knew that the Goddess’s Tears were in Li Wei’s possession.
