There is a period of time between each scream of the insect.
It needs to brew the soul energy injected by the host in the abdominal cavity, and sort out the feedback of the previous insect sounds and convey it to the host.
This makes it extremely difficult to detect each companion in a short period of time and find differences among them.
Magicians care about their privacy. They usually work alone. Unless they have a long-term cooperative relationship, they won't reveal too much about themselves.
Even if they are apprentices under the same mentor, they are no more than acquaintances.
If this event hadn't been very important to the mentor, it wouldn't have brought apprentices from several generations together together.
In all these years, Helo has only met the so-called junior sister once.
He was not familiar with everyone's situation, so he could only use the sound of insects to focus on checking the soul energy fluctuations on his body, and the evidence was the clues in the same system.
But Hero has been using [Exponent Explosion] to amplify [Famia's Illusion], consuming soul energy continuously. The amplitude index for so long has exceeded a hundred times, and the effect is that the illusion has become real in the eyes of these apprentices.
situation.
Even if the soul magic formula is engraved on the insect, trying to find out his identity... is a wishful thinking.
Holo was not worried at all, but instead turned his attention to the squirming tree roots around him.
"Who made these roots!"
Everyone who was immersed in the werewolf killing suddenly woke up.
Outsiders can't tell who is hiding among the companions yet, but several companions are already entangled in tree roots.
Subconscious vigilance made them take out their weapons of war, and each used their own methods to cut off the tree roots on their legs several times. They were so clean and crisp that people couldn't believe how they dared to attack them with these fragile tree roots.
But what frightened everyone was that a trickle of red liquid flowed out from where the tree root was broken.
"It's not our method!" The implication is that this is not the soul technique recorded in the War Tower.
"It's the trees here! Flesh fruits! The juice flowing out is the same as the juice of flesh fruits! It has the characteristics of pollution!"
The apprentice with keen eyesight has noticed traces of black gas emerging from the red liquid as it soaks into the soil.
"Back off! Back off! Stay away from these roots, don't let pollution invade your soul!"
These tree roots are obviously more aggressive and invasive than the pollution contained within the fleshy fruit.
“All the vegetation here is alive!”
As soon as Augustus finished reminding him, a gust of wind blew past him. He turned around and saw 'Pete' timidly running towards the outside.
Only then did the other apprentices react and follow suit.
In the blink of an eye, the person he was reminding turned out to be the person behind the throne.
He gritted his teeth and cursed and yelled: "What a bunch of bastards! The only dangerous means exposed by the vegetation here are tree root attacks, which are not very strong! What are you afraid of? Just push them across!"
Hero ignored Augustus's attempts to stay.
The first reaction to run away was because of the previous crisp sound.
Only he knows what exactly happened.
[War Tower] It is not uncommon for apprentices to have alchemy objects buried within their bodies.
But whether they can die together depends on the quality of the alchemy product.
If the alchemy items are buried by the apprentices themselves, they are mostly those they have practiced on their own or purchased from the market.
This kind of thing is often not very powerful, and if you attack it quickly, you can turn it into a squib.
But what's on Peter's body...it should be said that the alchemy items buried in these people's bodies are by no means ordinary.
The mentor placed his hope of creating supernatural war weapons on them, and finally managed to hide it from other towers... This was a big bet.
The crunching sound before was the sound of tree roots wrapping around Pete and causing him to die together.
The alchemy objects that may have perished together were wrapped in tree roots and just made a muffled sound. In any case, their ability to withstand is by no means as fragile as it is now.
With a suspended slide, he retreated to the entrance, away from the vegetation, and was on high alert for a while.
Seeing that nothing abnormal happened, the apprentice who retreated together wanted to break the dull atmosphere, pointed at the apprentice who controlled the insect and shouted: "What nonsense did you just say! It made us too nervous, and now it seems that nothing is wrong."
"
"Exactly! If there was a mole between us, wouldn't the mole have taken the opportunity to kill us when the tree roots invaded us just now?"
"Augustus is still inside! There's no movement at all, obviously there's no danger!"
"I think you are happy already. Look at what Augustus looks like now."
Hero stretched out his finger and pointed toward the narrow opening in the dim vegetation.
That location was the direction they had just escaped from. Bushes and tree branches blocked most of the view, but the soul spell that had been deployed just now to remind him had already told him through feedback.
Something remarkable came out of it.
And this ‘thing’ was Augustus, who was at the end and was passively in charge of the rear.
He walked through the vegetation, and large branches and leaves were wiped off, and some scattered fruits of poor quality were also smashed onto the soil with him.
After just a short discussion, his appearance changed drastically.
Vines like roundworms cling to his ribs and back, and his limbs are entangled with tough tree roots protruding from the depths of the vegetation, making him look like a prisoner being put on display.
He was 'pushed out' by the roots of the tree!
Augustus looked at the crowd with bloodshot eyes. The dense branches of the root system were still growing, wrapping around his neck and around his face, trying to weave a closed mask around his mouth.
"Augustus? These tree roots are very fragile! Get free quickly."
The terrifying appearance made no one dare to come forward to help, hoping that a reminder would help him out.
Augustus used brute force to twist off two root systems, but then more emerged from the depths of the vegetation.
Hero saw another grinning mouth sticking out of his mouth. The fleshy mouth kept chewing the roots of his lips, leaving a gap while using the opportunity to ask for help:
"You fart! Those broken tree roots will still grow! They will be stronger! Get me out! You must save me! Only I know the mentor's next plan! Fusion!! Hurry!"
By the last two words, he was already hysterical, roaring from the fleshy mouth deep in his throat. Seeing that his companion was hesitant and did not take any action, he knew that opening his mouth this time was his last chance.
"He's right. Without him, if we go back and the mentor misses something, the [Zhongzhi Purification Altar] will not be created, which will affect our entire system."
"But those vine roots are very strong."
Looking at the tree roots on Augustus' body, they saw something.
No matter how hard his muscles exerted force, those tree roots would become stronger.
They knew what Augustus was capable of.
They can't get out of trouble even if they use weapons of war, and they are afraid that they won't be able to get out of trouble if they get involved.
As for the union Augustus mentioned, there is a price to be paid.
"Rescue him first." An apprentice frowned and suggested reluctantly.
Everyone heard the snapping sound coming from Augustus.
Those tree roots that could be cut off at will broke Augustus's ribs and thighs.
Without relief, the current medical level will not be able to achieve good treatment results, and there will be problems with the next actions.
"Interference! Don't let him be dragged back. Clear the surrounding vegetation to clear the space and then try to combine and push horizontally."
This is not the first time we have joined together, everyone has experience.
Fire, ice and even thunder.
Various spiritual formulas engraved on various war weapons were activated. Their power was not as powerful as the powerful apprentices that Hero had seen, but it was more than enough to deal with some unconscious vegetation.
After destroying some surrounding vegetation, they discovered that there were even thicker roots hidden in the soil. After losing their cover, they squirmed and dived deeper into the ground.
"Damn it! Augustus was used as bait by them!"
But there is also good news. These root systems cannot move around at will like the tree spirits in the swamp, beyond the distance of their living environment.
Everyone was frightened and frightened for a while at the act of picking fruits.
What if the fleshy fruit is also weird? If it is attacked during the picking process, will it survive?
Only Hero knew that these vegetation were in a dormant state before.
After hundreds of years without the interference of foreign objects and no supply of flesh and blood, it is no longer easy to maintain the flesh and fruits that were originally hanging on the branches. In this state, they are very sluggish. Perhaps if they stay longer, the soul energy breath emitted by outsiders can stimulate and wake them up.
.
But the problem is that he stabbed Pete and buried him closest to the root of the tree.
There is an extra fertilizer on the part specially designed to absorb nutrients.
What's the difference between this and a piece of freshly baked meat bone placed under the nose of a sleeping greedy dog?
It only takes a moment to wake up.
The tree roots used Augustus as a bait, constantly tightening and relaxing them, torturing him and making him scream. The pain was so painful that his soul could go crazy, inducing the mentality of similar people to save him.
But fortunately these vegetations have no more intelligence.
After knowing their seductive behavior, Hero and others were not in a hurry and continued to clear a safe space.
"Augustus! Try again! Spit out the spore mouthparts!" An apprentice saw that the opportunity was just right and shouted at Augustus.
His war weapons are also an important part of the integration.
