Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 281 - 280: Black Limb Pupa
Chapter 281 -280: Black Limb Pupa
[Curios: Magic Flying Carpet.]
[State: Intact.]
[Information Fragment One: Crafted by a skilled Artifact Forger, inspired by a fantasy movie, its main body is made from the silk spun by a certain spider-like Demon, along with some ancient Magic Runes, and four gemstones imbued with special Magic Power. It’s not only tenacious but also capable of flight.]
[Information Fragment Two: The creator must also possess tailoring skills.]
…
It was much as Tang Qi had guessed—the Magic Flying Carpet was indeed a Curios replicated from a movie prop.
The abilities it possessed seemed limited to “flight.”
Tang Qi wasn’t particularly covetous of the carpet’s design.
Without the need to try it out, he knew riding a flying carpet to escape wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.
Moreover, lying on it just seemed too indecent.
What actually interested Tang Qi were those Magic Runes on the carpet; stimulated by Magic Power, they could produce the effect of flight. As a Wizard and also an Artifact Forger, Tang Qi had yet to master the methods of drawing and engraving Magic Runes.
This was an opportunity.
“Hum”
With a thought, Tang Qi still didn’t turn to look at the other two doomed Transcendents; his gaze followed the young man.
“You can’t escape!”
As Tang Qi’s words fell, a terrifying mutation occurred.

The Black Mountain Eagle, grinding over the rails, was about to reach the tunnel exit, and the young man who had fled first was about to touch the sunlight at the tunnel’s entrance. But it was this slight distance he couldn’t cross.
“Roar~”
A roar utterly unlike that of a human reverberated, the invisible sound waves causing the already dazed passengers to briefly lose their sense of self and fall into an incredibly strange state.
At that moment, with a “thud,” a black, incredibly realistic tentacle hit the ground, followed by a second, a third, a fourth… Dark and glossy, as if constantly spurting out ink.
Once the ink left the tentacle, it turned into black mist.
It was clearly daytime, but the presence of this creature made the tunnel entrance a land of black mist, cold and gloomy, sending shivers down one’s spine.
It blocked the tunnel entrance; a bloated black Monster head peeked in, spraying a glob of “ink” at the flying carpet.
The flying carpet was frozen.
Like a “Black Amber,” if such a thing existed, inside was a lifelike flying carpet and its owner.
A fresh color of fear remained on the young man’s face.
In silence, the black tentacles coiled around the carpet and its owner. “Crack,” the amber shattered.
Together with the young man inside, turned into wisps of mist, they were bit by bit stuffed into the Monster’s mouth.
The “tenacious” attribute of the flying carpet saw fragments of it fall down piece by piece.
“Very strong!”
Tang Qi, having witnessed everything, silently gave his assessment.
A special image had already emerged at the bottom of his eyes.
[Extraordinary Creatures: Anna’s Descendant (Elder Level).]
[State: Normal.]
[Information Fragment One: A descendant of the Anna Family, an elder who has lived for nearly a hundred years, has developed his Bloodline Power to the extreme. Forsaking his physical form entirely, he now exists in the form of this “Black Limb Pupa,” undeniably a Professional Level Expert.]
[Information Fragment Two: It is excellent Fuel!]
Tang Qi’s mouth twitched at the second Information Fragment.
He certainly knew that the other party was excellent fuel, but at the same time, it was also the kind of fuel that could harm him.
In fact, it appeared before even entering the tunnel, and Tang Qi had already spotted it.
That’s why he concluded that the young man couldn’t possibly escape.
He didn’t even last one round and lost his life directly.
As for the other two Transcendents, all were dealt with by the remaining “Anna Ghosts.”
Struggle?
Tang Qi did not hear such a commotion; three Transcendents, each with their own methods, died silently without a sound.
Following the final check of the last carriage, the Anna Ghosts began to retreat.
This path is not only meant for this single train.
It seems that the next stop ahead is the destination of Tang Qi and Sally’s journey, Winston Town.
The Anna Ghosts were all very powerful and their methods were quite strange, especially that elder-level ghost in the form of “Black Limb Pupa.” Even if the Melting Furnace Power restrained the opponent, Tang Qi didn’t think he could easily take it down.
The battles on the Mysterious Side are determined by many factors.
However, the turmoil on the Black Mountain Eagle should be coming to an end.
Including the Anna Ghosts, none of the Descendants of the Thirteen Ancestors can approach Winston Town.
As they retreated, not a ghost noticed that the Flying Carpet Fragments scattered throughout the tunnel were being devoured by the shadows piece by piece.
Curios shattered with violence generally can’t be restored, but Tang Qi had no intention of restoring them anyway.
He collected the fragments merely to glimpse into a kind of Flying Magic Pattern.
With his Special Ability, he might have an un low success rate.
…
Amid the rumbling sounds, a retro-style train, under the brilliant glow of twilight, crossed above the bridge on the tracks, and slowly entered a bustling platform.
Inside the platform, aside from the Black Mountain Eagle, there were several other trains parked… A mix of taxis, buses, and horse-drawn carriages ready to take travelers from various cities to the next town, which seemed peaceful and prosperous.
Or rather, a city.
Winston Town!
Apart from its name, it’s quite different from most small towns; the main part is Winston Town, but there are nearly ten affiliated villages around it, and the transportation is extremely convenient. This includes the railways connecting to many cities including Secret Phoenix City and Messer City.
There are also some highways, including a state-level highway.
Besides that, facilities like airports or other public amenities are no less than any city.
In fact, apart from a kind of “industrial vibe,” Winston Town isn’t much smaller than Messer City.
Due to convenient transportation, beautiful environment, long history, and other reasons, Winston Town has a significant presence in Secret Phoenix State; it’s always a recommended destination in many “Secret Phoenix State Travel Guides” and newspapers.
Tang Qi took Sally off the train, and after the encounter with the “Anna Ghosts,” no more supernatural events occurred.
This is easy to understand; the Descendants of the Thirteen Ancestors cannot approach Winston, including the Members of the Immortal Council.
And the rest of the Transcendents, whether wild or employed by the Descendants of the Ancestors, likely adopt a low-profile method of operations before the appearance of the “Daughter of Destiny” or the “Immortal Earl,” to avoid triggering any major incident.
However, one thing is sure, the originally peaceful and beautiful Winston Town.
It’s unlikely to remain so in the recent future.
“Buzz”
With just the first glance, Tang Qi couldn’t help but sigh.
Ghost light surged in his eyes.
Among the ordinary-looking, low-profile travelers, there emerged Transcendents, and not just one.
“It seems not all the Descendants of the Thirteen Ancestors on every path can block all the Transcendents like the ghosts of the Anna Family.”
