Chapter 1018: 317. Magic Shadow Stabs with a Knife_2

Yes, and not just one way.

The first method is to use Teleportation.

For the escaping Shadow Death Laborers, this is an extravagant hope.

The second method is to take an artificial passage.

The legal artificial passage is at Baldur’s Gate.

There lies a large underground structure called the Dark Abyss, which one can take from ground level down the spiral staircase directly to the Dark Zone.

— Baldur’s Gate on ground level, built a subterranean city right beneath the Dark Zone, and the “bridge” connecting the two is the Dark Abyss.

As for the illegal artificial passages, Noland Lee didn’t know where they were; generally, they are dug covertly in the wilderness by outlaw wizards for smuggling trades.

Baldur’s Gate is 900 kilometers west of the Stone Forest…

The Shadow Death Laborers don’t need to eat, drink, or relieve themselves; as long as they cautiously avoid shadow demons, it’s still possible for them to reach that place…

For these Shadow Death Laborers, Noland Lee could only wish them good luck.

As for Xander, well, Noland Lee planned to send him a bit of luck.

About 30-plus kilometers to the southwest of the temporary base.

Noland Lee caught up with the fleeing Xander.

The feature of “Constant Levitation” inherent to ethereal beings allowed Xander to easily navigate complicated terrain.

But his depleted energy and the weakness of his soul after multiple rebirths severely suppressed his floating speed.

When Noland Lee pursued him, he made no effort to conceal the energy fluctuations of “Death Flight.”

Xander clearly sensed the approaching Death Energy and immediately thought of the black-robed figures he had seen in the city.

These black-robed individuals also carried traces of Death Energy!

The Death Clan Wizard who was chasing him could very well be one of the black-robed figures from the city.

A sense of impending doom flooded Xander’s mind.

Seeing that the other’s flying speed far surpassed his own, Xander found a spot to hide himself.

There were many Shadow Death Laborers fleeing ahead of him.

Now, Xander could only pray that the Death Clan Wizard behind him would go after the other laborers instead.

A voice appeared in Xander’s mind, causing his body to shudder violently.

“Listen carefully to what I say…”

Along with the voice in his mind, a magic scroll and a teleportation crystal floated leisurely in front of Xander.

“This is a ‘Slate Layer Traveling Spell Scroll,’ and the accompanying teleportation crystal is linked to Starlight City in the Ulnas Circle. Now, leave this place.”

Xander stared blankly at the scroll and crystal in front of him, a surge of elation at his imminent escape welling up inside him.
