Chapter 338 - Oil Painting
Chapter 338 Oil Painting
“Let’s fight!” Heath’s heart turned cold. He grabbed the Red Demon greatsword, paused for a moment, and suddenly rushed towards the direction of the mouse hole.
Whoosh! A shrill sound of rushing wind exploded.
Heath’s entire body shot out like a sharp arrow, instantly tearing the air into pieces. Then, he shot an arrow straight towards the Gem Cat’s forehead.
Since he could not avoid it, he might as well attack and find an opportunity from the attack!
Clang! The sound of metal colliding exploded. Red Demon slashed heavily at the gem on the Gem Cat’s forehead. Sparks flew from the point where the swords met.
“Meow!!!”
The Gem Cat cried out in pain. Then, it raised its sharp claws and clawed at Heath. Its sharp claws swept up fine wind blades in the air.
Heath did not retreat or dodge. He raised his sword and slashed. A series of crisp ‘ding ding ding’ sounds could be heard. The greatsword and the Gem Cat’s claws clashed heavily, leaving afterimages of the two in the sky.
In this competition of speed, both sides were equally matched.
However, in terms of strength, the shrunken Heath seemed to be unable to hold on. After clashing for a while, Heath seemed to be lacking in strength. He began to retreat step by step, looking as if he was at a disadvantage.
If one observed carefully, they would find that the direction Heath was retreating towards was the direction of the mouse hole.
One meter…
Two meters…
Five meters…
Ten meters…
The unaware Gem Cat was still attacking furiously. Using this opportunity, Heath was retreating while fighting. Very soon, he was less than ten meters away from the entrance of the hole. The moment he entered ten meters… Heath immediately abandoned the Gem Cat in front of him and turned around to
run.
The Gem Cat, who was in the midst of a fierce battle, was stunned at first. The frequent resistance of this prey was a very fun thing for it. Just now, it was still enjoying itself. It did not expect this thing to suddenly run away. After all, in its script, the opponent should have lost and resisted until it got tired of playing, and then it would kill the opponent in one fell swoop.
“Meow!!!”
Sensing that it had been deceived, the Gem Cat let out an angry cry. It suddenly exerted strength in its legs and chased after Heath at an extremely fast speed.
Ten meters. If it was under normal circumstances, this would have been an instant for Heath. However, because of the shrinking, the current ten meters had been magnified dozens of times for him. Because of this… even though Heath was running at full speed, he still needed some time to reach the entrance of the mouse hole.
When he was less than three meters away from the entrance of the mouse hole, he was finally caught up with by the Gem Cat.
Without hesitation, the Gem Cat opened its mouth and directly bit at Heath. This time, it did not even have the intention to tease him. It was determined to directly kill this disobedient toy.
However —
Crack! A heavy and crisp sound was heard. The two rows of teeth of the Gem Cat were bitten together.
The Gem Cat’s big round eyes showed a stunned expression. It was very puzzled as to why the prey that should have been bitten to death in its mouth would disappear.
At the same time, the space in front of the hole distorted. Heath also appeared in the mouse hole.
He turned around and gave a provocative salute to the Gem Cat behind him, then turned around and strode into the mouse hole.
“Meow!!!” The angry and unwilling meow of the cat exploded, and the Gem Cat rushed up crazily. It tried its best to reach its claws into the rat hole, but it couldn’t get anything out. In the end, it could only roar angrily.
At the same time, in the mouse hole.
“Sir Wizard, are you okay?”
“Are you hurt?”
Seeing Heath coming over, Nyssa and Carrette hurriedly surrounded him and asked with concern. They had seen Heath being chased by the Gem Cat just now.
Heath waved his hand. “I’m fine.”
As he spoke, he looked forward.
The small mouse hole was decorated with a different world. There was a big velvet bed, an exquisite decorative bookcase, oil paintings, a round table for afternoon tea, and even an exquisite complete tea set. It was like an exquisite small villa.
“It’s really a very unique room.”
Nodding, Heath asked the two Apprentices, “How is it? Have you found the Heart of the Sea?”
Nyssa said, “We haven’t found it yet, Sir Wizard.”
Heath said, “In that case, let’s look for it. I have a feeling that the Heart of the Sea should be here.”
“Yes.”
The group of people immediately began to look for it.
Heath was not idle this time. He walked in and looked around carefully. Not long after, an oil painting hanging on the wall next to him attracted his attention.
In the painting was a little mouse. It was dressed like a gentleman in a long shirt with buttons and an exquisite red bow tie. It was sitting in front of the round table with a cup of coffee in its hand. Its other hand was casually placed on the table.
Heath stared at the oil painting for a while. He seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he could not remember exactly what it was.
‘This painting…!
Suddenly, Heath seemed to have seen something.
He quickly took a closer look, and with this look, he finally found something that he felt was wrong.
It was the little mouse’s hand on the table.
Usually, a person’s hand on the table would be clenched into a fist. This little mouse was the same, but he had stuck out a finger. It looked like he was using this finger to knock on the table.
Was it really just knocking?
Or was it also guiding the direction?
After thinking for a moment, Heath suddenly extended his hand towards the oil painting in front of him, and at the same time, a strange scene appeared.
Heath’s hand actually penetrated through the oil painting and into the oil painting.
“It’s really like that!”
Just now, he suddenly sensed that there was a faint mana fluctuation of space elements on the oil painting, so he tried it out. And this time, he really managed to test it out. There was a space spell on the oil painting… Or to put it another way, it was actually a space pocket disguised as an oil painting.
His arm went deep into the oil painting. Heath did not hesitate and stretched straight toward the bottom of the table in the oil painting, which was the direction that the little mouse’s finger was pointing at.
As expected, Heath found a hard object under the table. He immediately pulled it out. It was a package.
Heath opened the package, and with a soft rumble, three round things rolled out of the package. They were red, blue, and yellow gems.
At the same time, a magical fluctuation similar to the Heart of the Sea gushed out from the three gems. This magical fluctuation also explained the identity of the three gems. It was the purpose of their trip —
The Heart of the Sea!
