Chapter 202: Pine’s Fear

Pfft!

Pine was so scared that he fell to the ground.

Then, he crawled on the ground in fear. After about ten seconds, the scarecrow did not do anything to him.

He was still very scared.

But as time passed, the fear in his heart began to weaken, and he slowly stood up.

When he looked at the scarecrow again, he found that the scarecrow seemed to be really just a scarecrow. It stood there quietly under the sun, not moving at all.

But what happened just now?

Pine was terrified. He thought of the moment when he raised his head. The scarecrow had clearly lowered its head and was smiling at him.

Pine shivered.

That scene was too scary. Just thinking about it made him panic.

“What the hell is going on?”

Pine glanced around.

It was still a golden wheat field, and the sun was shining brightly.

He was still in the scarecrow’s Domain!

“That bastard Lyle really escaped by himself!”

Pine’s expression was very ugly.

He knew it!

A person would do anything to survive!

He said it nicely and brought him out, but in the end, he still left him here to hold the scarecrow back.

He should not have trusted that guy before!!

Pine glanced around.

What should he do now?

How could he escape from here?

Where did the scarecrow go?

Pine could not figure it out, but he had already made up his mind.

He planned to take a look in this wheat field first, maybe he could find a way out.

After all, after entering the strange creature’s Domain, it was not impossible to get out.

The Domain was like a room. There would be a door, a window, and even a hole through the wall to get out… it was the same for the strange creature’s Domain. There were many ways to get out.

It was just a waste of time.

Moreover, since the scarecrow was not around, he had to hurry.

Thinking of this, Pine was ready to turn around and leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, for some unknown reason, his gaze unexpectedly stopped on the motionless scarecrow opposite him.

This damned scarecrow!

But just now, he was actually scared to such an extent!

Moreover, it was a fake anyway, so it was fine to destroy it.

This was his character. He was trained from a young age, and he would always seek revenge. This was also one of the reasons why he was able to reach this stage in the Mage Association.

Thinking about it, Pine raised his arm and a ball of flame appeared in his hand.

“Burn you to death!”

Pine threw the flame out.

Then, he ignored it and walked in another direction.

However, it was at this moment that a voice was heard.

“It hurts!”

“It hurts!”

A voice came from somewhere, causing Pine to stop in his tracks. Then, his eyes started to become fearful.

Is there anyone here?!

Is there someone nearby?!

Pine suddenly turned his head and looked around. However, other than a ball of fire, he did not see anyone.

The voice seemed to have come from all directions.

He waited for a while, but the fire was still burning.

However, the voice did not appear again.

“Did I hear it wrong?”

Pine was very confused.

He turned around and was about to leave, but he had just taken a step forward.

“It Hurts!”

“It Hurts!”

The voice came again.

Pine turned his head abruptly and looked directly behind him.

This time, he heard it clearly. It was not an illusion.

Moreover, the direction of the voice… was directly behind him, where the fire was burning.

Pine looked at the fire.

The fire wrapped around the scarecrow, burning fiercely.

The scarecrow was burning.

No way?

Could it be that Scarecrow was talking?!

Pine’s face showed some fear, then his throat rolled, and he walked toward the Scarecrow.

His gaze was fixed on the scarecrow in the fire.

As he got closer, he felt the temperature of the fire hit him, and the heat wave hit his face.

He waited for a few more minutes.

In the end, the sound still did not appear.

But now, even if the sound did not appear, Pine started to panic.

Because the scarecrow in front of him… could not be burned!

Although the fire was very strong, the scarecrow inside did not seem to be burned. Obviously, the scarecrow inside was not normal… if it was an ordinary scarecrow, it would have been burned out.

“It hurts!”

“Why did you burn me?”

At this moment, the voice came again.

And he saw it too.

The scarecrow in the fire was opening and closing its serrated mouth, making a sound.

“Ah! Ah Ah!!”

At this moment, Pine was really frightened.

He threw an attack and then ran in another direction frantically.

As a B rank magician, he had no desire to resist the scarecrow and ran away. It was clear how afraid Pine was of the scarecrow.

He did not know how long he had run.

It had been about half an hour in his consciousness.

Pine did not dare to stop because he was afraid. He did not even look back.

Now, he stopped and panted.

Regardless of whether that was the real scarecrow or not, as long as he was far away from him, it would be fine.

Just as he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard a ‘chi chi’ sound coming from behind him.

He did not even think about it.

He subconsciously looked back and was instantly scared out of his wits.

That scarecrow was still behind him!!

It was still burning!!

Pine was instantly terrified.

“How is this possible!!”

He had clearly been running for so long, why could he not get rid of this fellow!!

“It hurts!”

“Why did you burn me with fire? It hurts so much.”

At this moment.

This sound came from all directions.

Pine was horrified to discover that he had been surrounded by an endless number of scarecrows.

And these scarecrows were all burning in flames.

Towering flames.

Billowing black smoke.

All of these stimulated Pine’s nerves.

Chi chi!

A few scarecrows surrounded him. The heat waves from their bodies hit pine’s face, burning him.

“No!”

“Don’t come over!”

Pine was neither in front nor behind. Scarecrows were walking towards him from all directions, screaming in horror.

The scarecrow was covered in flames. It opened its arms as if it was welcoming him.

Crack!

The scarecrow behind him had already arrived at some point in time.

The flames on the scarecrow’s body spread to his clothes.

Before he could put it out, the scarecrows from other directions surrounded him one after another.

In an instant, his entire body was caught in the flames.

“Ahhhhh!!”

His screams echoed throughout the wheat field.

From afar, he had become one of the thousands of scarecrows. The flames on his body soared into the sky.

The only difference was that his flames did not last long. Soon, the flames became smaller. In the end, there was only a shriveled corpse left.
