"The tutor asked me, is there a task issued?" Enzo asked.
"That's right!" Gustav nodded and said in a deep voice, "Three months ago, [Lithal Area] sent twelve wizard teams to carry out pioneering and exploration missions on the world outside the tower."
"According to the content of the mission, the twelve wizard teams will explore different directions in the [Lital Area]."
"As of yesterday, there have been eleven wizard teams that have returned to the tower after completing the pioneering mission, but there is still an exploration team that has not returned yet and has lost contact with us."
"Lost contact?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"That's right." Gustav frowned and sighed, ": The missing wizard team consists of a first-level guardian wizard and thirty rune knights. They originally went to the [Twisted Jungle] to carry out pioneering missions, but ten days ago, they suddenly lost contact with the tower."
"Based on past experience, if the development team loses contact with the tower for more than ten days, it is likely that it has encountered an accident!"
"The task assigned to you this time is to investigate the reasons for the disappearance of the pioneer team and continue to explore the twisted jungle area."
"I understand!" Enzo nodded.
The content of the mission is already very clear. A wizard team disappeared in the twisted jungle area, which can basically be confirmed to be unexpected. Enzo's mission is to investigate what happened.
"You can set out this afternoon."
古斯塔夫伸出手,掌心放着一枚水晶立方体,道“:这里面是之前那支巫师小队在开拓任务时传递回来的数据,记录了扭曲丛林的基础地图.”
"In this mission, you have the right to recruit some extraordinary knights and form a pioneering team, but the number cannot exceed thirty."
"I understand, mentor!" Enzo took the cube and put it away, then nodded.
...
On the barren plain, a team moved forward.
Enzo rode Svein's transformed dark horse and walked at the front of the team, followed by thirty rune knights who were riding the magic foal.
"Sir, there is a twisted jungle ahead."
At this time, a rune knight wearing black armor and a narrow scar on his eyes controlled the magic horse to come forward and said in a deep voice.
"Carter, bring five rune knights and explore the way forward." Enzo ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Knight Carter waved to the back, and immediately five rune knights followed and went forward to explore the way forward.
Several rune knights entered the jungle ahead and confirmed that there was no abnormality. Knight Carter made a gesture to indicate that everything was normal.
"Let's go too." Enzo nodded slightly and took the others into the jungle.
There are 31 people in this mission team. In addition to Enzo being a first-level wizard, there are three rune knights at the first-level life form level, and the rest are all ordinary rune knights.
In the lush primitive jungle, tall trees completely block the light cast from above, so that the environment is a bit dark, with many branches and vines crisscrossing around.
In this jungle area, it is difficult for ordinary horses to move forward. Fortunately, the mounts of rune knights are iron-clawed foals with monster bloodlines. They are species that have been cultivated by the wizard civilization for thousands of years and have the ability to adapt to any environment.
"Chip, enable the scanning function and record the surrounding terrain!" Enzo ordered in his heart.
There was silence in the twisted jungle, and there was no sound of insects around it, as if there was no life here, and there was a hint of strangeness in the silence.
Herodian!
At this moment, in the team moving forward, an iron-clawed demon horse suddenly screamed, and the rune knight, who was the master, quickly comforted him.
"What the hell?" On the side, Knight Carter drew out the cross sword.
On the hind legs of the iron clawed foal was wrapped with a green plant, similar to green grass, but with sharp leaves, rubbing like a serrated knife.
brush!
On the back of the iron clawed demon horse, the rune knight decisively pulled out the cross sword and slashed at the grass plant with one sword, but it actually made a metal friction sound.
Sigh!
The cross sword slashed over, and the grass plant immediately waved a slender leaf to block the attack of the sword blade. Then, it released the hind legs of the iron clawed demon foal and curled up in place.
At this time, a jagged wound appeared on the legs of the iron clawed demon. Although the bones were not damaged, the blood flowed continuously.
The Rune Knight suddenly felt a little distressed. The Iron Clawed Vile was his mount, he was also a partner, and even his family.
"Damn it!" The rune knight with the injured mount was a little angry, and waved the cross sword and prepared to kill the grass plant.
"Wait a minute!" At this time, Enzo spoke.
The Rune Knight quickly stopped, withdrew the Cross Sword and retreated to the side, took out some medicine from the backpack, and treated the wound for the Iron Clawed Viking.
Enzo rolled over and took a step over.
"Chip, scan!" Enzo ordered in his heart as he looked at the grass curled up in a ball of green on the ground.
"Ding! Unknown species are found..."
"It's indeed a new species!" Enzo's eyes lit up, he took out a dagger and tried to cut a part from the grass plant.
However, before Enzo's dagger touched the grass plant, two slender jagged leaves had already waved, like a swordsman using a double sword.
Dingdang!
The daggers collided with the leaves, making a metal sound, and the grass plant no longer curled up, and the whole body was stretched out, and four serrated leaves were waving at the same time.
Squeak!
A subtle and sharp sound came, as if it was made by the grass plant. Although it was not clear about the specific meaning, it seemed to be expressing anger.
"Chip, name the new species: Sawgrass."
A hint of interest appeared on Enzo's face. In [Eqira World], a plant actually had such a strong sense of self-protection and even gave birth to the most basic wisdom.
Dingdang!
The dagger in Enzo's hand, as soon as he approached the serrated grass, would react fiercely, and the four serrated leaves would wield like soft swords.
“There is a strong sense to the outside world.”
Enzo's eyes flashed, and he came to some basic conclusions that when threatened, he would fight back with four leaves on his body.
Then, Enzo put away his dagger, grabbed the serrated grass with his hands, and pulled it out of the ground.
Squeak!!
The serration of squeaks made a sharp cry, and when its gray roots were exposed to the air, they immediately withered and looked extremely weak.
"Can't you leave the dirt?"
Chapter completed!
