As Daniel felt a surge of excitement, he was astonished to have found such powerful assistance in Natalie. Reirfu glanced at him lightly and chuckled, "So, how about it? My strength isn't bad, right?"
"Hahaha, not just good, it's incredible. I never expected to find someone as strong as you among the Wizard Apprentices."
Daniel felt a bit embarrassed at being exposed; situations like this, where someone pried into another's privacy, could easily lead to confrontation. He thought the chip could spy freely, but he didn't expect to be discovered.
Last time Natalie caught him, he thought it was just a coincidence. Now that Reirfu had noticed as well, it seemed that true experts had a sense that was frighteningly acute, capable of detecting even the most hidden intrusions.
However, looking at his smiling gaze, Daniel still felt somewhat awkward and pretended to casually turn around. "Oh, it seems there's some noise behind us. Did you guys notice?"
Natalie replied in confusion, "Nope. Don't play dumb with me; you don't need to act like this just because your secret was revealed."
Daniel was frustrated; he needed to diffuse the awkwardness after being exposed. But just then, the chip suddenly emitted a loud alarm. Daniel jumped in surprise and quickly lowered his head to check.
In several places behind them, the ground had risen by one centimeter since he arrived, and a tree had shifted five millimeters from its original position.
How could this be possible? The ground couldn't just rise for no reason.
Well, even if the ground might have risen due to animals burrowing underground, what about the tree? It couldn't possibly walk on its own.
Casually pretending to look around, Daniel was startled by what he saw; similar occurrences were happening all around them.
The ground was uneven with rises and dips, trees were moving, and flowers and grass were askew. It was as if they had experienced a minor earthquake.
These changes were subtle enough that they might go unnoticed by most people, but when Daniel first arrived, the chip had already recorded all the terrain features and tree distributions in the area. Comparing now with before made the problem immediately apparent.
Connecting all the changes around them, Daniel suddenly realized that this resembled a Magic Array, and he understood instantly.
No wonder the other party had not found them for such a long time; it turned out they had already arrived and were lying in ambush around the Magic Array.
From its purpose, this Magic Array was not meant for attack but to prevent their escape, which showed just how confident they were.
Even when reinforcements arrived, they dared to act this way, unafraid of a desperate counterattack. They were either very confident or fools; clearly, they were the former.
From the current situation, the Magic Array had already been completed by over 80%. If they discovered it any later, they would fall into the opponent's trap.
As for now...
Daniel pretended to sniff something and asked, " Natalie, do you smell anything? It's strange and unpleasant."
Natalie looked around and sniffed hard, puzzled. "No, I don't smell anything."
"If you can't smell such an obvious odor, what about Reirfu?"
Reirfu shook his head, indicating he also did not smell anything. Suddenly, he noticed the deepness in Daniel's eyes and realized that what he wanted to express was not this. There seemed to be some unspeakable message behind it.
Seeing him continuously gaze towards the back, although unsure of what was happening, he became alert. Noticing that he had raised their vigilance, Daniel shouted, "Run!"
He was the first to run in the direction indicated by his gaze. The other two followed suit.
"What on earth is happening? Why are we running?"
Natalie bounced along behind them, her two long ponytails swaying energetically, full of youthful vitality that drew attention.
She showed no signs of injury at all, making Daniel marvel at the miraculous healing potion. Even such severe injuries could recover in such a short time; at least on the surface, it was no longer noticeable.
Daniel pointed behind him, and Natalie turned around in surprise to see five figures emerging slowly from the ground where they had just been standing. Their faces were shadowed, and they were the same five people who had been chasing them.
Around them, a Magic Array flickered into view, emitting a faint glow.
Natalie suddenly understood, and cold sweat began to pour down her back. No wonder they had been resting here for so long without seeing their pursuers; they had already arrived and were laying out the Magic Array underground, preparing to capture them all.
However, it was unexpected that Daniel discovered this, leading to their plan failing at the last moment.
If she had remained unaware and the Magic Array had activated, even though she was very confident in Reirfu's strength, she wouldn't know if she could escape under such advantageous conditions for the enemy.
Regardless, the enemy's strength was not weak.
Reirfu glanced at them and said dismissively, "Is it those few? Don't worry, I'll take revenge for you."
He charged forward with large strides, and at the same time, magical energy surged around him as various Magical Items appeared one after another, covering his body like Armor.
No, this set of Magical Items was essentially a set of Armor.
"Did you see that? Brother Reirfu is incredibly strong. He has stayed at the Third-Level Apprentice stage for over ten years. He spent several years specifically crafting this set of equipment to maximize his strength."
Daniel also noticed that this set of equipment was indeed very powerful. He hadn't expected it to be custom-made for him.
However, since it was tailored equipment suited to him, it could bring out his combat power to the fullest.
Of course, such equipment came at a tremendous cost; it was practically a bottomless pit where tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Magic Stones could not fill it up.
Only Wizard Seeds, the favored children of these academies, could purchase items at a discount and acquire such gear through the academy's full support.
Moreover, it requires a long time of accumulation; otherwise, success is impossible. However, the immense cost comes with a strong guarantee. It's like a green suit, where each piece is a masterpiece on its own but can work together to unleash even greater power. Wearing it can exponentially increase one's strength.
Just like this time, Reirfu was instantly covered in a layer resembling Armor made of Magical Items, making it impossible for others to launch a surprise attack.
With his hands outstretched, two shields appeared in his hands in an instant. These were not ordinary shields; they were as wide and heavy as door panels. Yet, when held in his hands, they felt weightless.
The surface of the shields was adorned with sharp spikes, resembling fangs that were extremely pointed. If someone were to be struck by them, they would be pierced like a sieve.
Reirfu was ready, charging forward with the two shields; he was indeed a melee wizard.
Facing the extremely swift attack, Daniel showed no fear. The five of them reached out simultaneously, layers of protective shields appearing to encase them. A loud crash echoed as the shields collided with the protective barriers, sending sparks flying and causing the barriers to emit creaking sounds under the strain.
With a loud crack, the outer layer of the protective shield shattered, and the shield continued to push forward. The second layer of the protective shield also couldn't withstand it and ultimately broke apart, only the third layer managed to stop it.
The five who initially thought little of it suddenly wore serious expressions, looking at Reirfu with disbelief.
Then three of them pointed their hands forward, and spikes of earth appeared instantly—this was the technique that had given Daniel so much trouble.
However, Reirfu coldly smiled and did not regard the earth spikes as a threat. He gently brought the two shields together, creating another layer of protective shield. The earth spikes pressed against it but only created dents without breaking through.
