Led by the Demon Crocodile Hunter, Greem shuttled quickly 3 meters underground like a fish swimming in the water.
Through the mist of the earth element, his mental power continuously transmitted everything he sensed along the way back to Greem's mind. The twisted roots of ancient trees, broken sandstone rocks, crawling underground insects, and reptiles
, gophers huddled in small nests, cockroaches, rotten branches, unknown broken pieces...
In just a short journey, Greem had a vague glimpse of another alternative world that was completely different from his previous knowledge. In this hidden world, Greem was like a cold emperor overlooking the world, without thoughts and self.
If he is really serious, with just one thought, the Demon Crocodile Hunter can turn this place upside down.
Although he also wanted to experience this alternative perspective of traveling underground, he couldn't bear it after only half a quarter of an hour.
This time it was not that he was mentally exhausted, but that he was almost out of breath.
As a wizard apprentice who has mastered extraordinary power, Greem's body is far stronger than ordinary people in terms of resistance and tolerance. Ordinary people would probably fall into coma if they held their breath for one minute, but he persisted for half a moment.
It was only after a while that I felt depressed.
At his signal, the earth element outside the demon crocodile hunter's body vibrated, parting the thick soil layer above his head, and slowly emerged from the earth.
The sudden appearance of the Demon Crocodile Hunter surprised the surrounding monsters. Amidst countless shrill cries and screams, negative curses like raindrops fell on them.
"Damn it, you got into the nest of baby monsters!" Grim cursed in a low voice, and drove the Demon Crocodile Hunter to rush out of the siege of baby monsters.
Although the "spell" ability of the baby monsters is weird and difficult to prevent, they are just a group of low-level monsters after all. When facing the semi-elementary demon crocodile hunter, their negative curse success rate is not high. Instead, they are attacked by the demon crocodile's back.
The native hunter threw several spears and killed two baby monsters, and the rest of them dispersed, hiding in the grass and not daring to move rashly.
Perhaps until this moment, Greem vaguely understood the mentality of Alice and the others when they broke into the magic swamp. Once they have the strength and capital of a senior apprentice, ordinary low-level monsters will indeed not pose a threat to them. Facing a group of
Ants and maggots can be easily destroyed. No wonder they know this is a forbidden area, but they still act so unscrupulously.
To be honest, without Wizard Anderson taking action, the wizard apprentices and swamp monsters here alone would not be able to do anything to the three of them.
As for what happened to Alice, it was a complete accident.
It is precisely because Alice's ability is too strong and her strength is so terrifying that the evil insect Entik has to fight her desperately. In addition, Greem, who is not very strong but has a poisonous and accurate vision, Alice
The silk threads shriveled up one after another, and they almost lost their lives in the mud swamp.
These abominable baby monsters were a group of terrifying and difficult monsters for Greem in the past. Once he was surrounded by them, even with the protection of witchcraft talismans, his fate would be very miserable. But now, with the help of magic talismans,
With the assistance of the Crocodile Hunter, Greem was able to kill them like butchering dogs, and he no longer felt the fear and panic he felt before.
So inadvertently, Greem's mentality began to change bit by bit.
Bullying, bullying, domineering... these words sound harsh, but if you really want to be the stronger one, it's quite refreshing to practice it.
Driving the Demonic Crocodile Hunter to rush out of the Whispering Garden, Greem jumped off the demon puppet until he reached the gravel path, dispersed the earth element, and put away the two summoning crystal cores again. This place was already far away from the swamp tower.
The entrance is very close, and it's time for Greem to return to his original low-key and weak self.
Greem pulled up his hood again, hiding his face, and quietly slipped back into the tower.
This experiment was very successful and greatly boosted Greem's confidence. However, it also exposed some problems, the most serious one being how to sneak underground for a long time.
The Demon Crocodile Hunter may not need to breathe, but Greem does! Deep underground, protected by the earth element dispersed by the Demon Crocodile Hunter, Greem also has the ability to travel underground. But there is no air underground, so this breathing problem
If it is not solved, it will be difficult for him to sneak underground for a long time.
Therefore, after returning to the Swamp Tower, in the next few days, Grim traveled between apprentices all day long, looking for ways to solve the two problems of dark vision and underground breathing. Occasionally, he would sneak away when he had free time.
Get out of the tower and search around the magic swamp for monsters suitable for making into demon puppets.
Unfortunately, even on the last day, he still couldn't find a suitable monster.
After all, the Magic Swamp is just an extremely ordinary resource point for the wizard family. There are more plants here, and the only ones raised are some ordinary monsters suitable for raising and harvesting, so it is almost a delusion to harvest monster crystal cores in large quantities here.
. Even Simba, the giant crocodile king, harvested by Greem is also an advanced monster rarely seen in the Magic Swamp in the past hundred years, otherwise he would not even be able to obtain this harvest.
However, although he did not obtain a new crystal core, Greem took the opportunity to collect a batch of monster materials and witchcraft materials. With these materials, Greem also obtained some more practical trinkets from the apprentices.
Among them, the one that pleased Grim the most was an exquisite noble headband.
Putting the noble ring on his head, the clear diamond at the front of the ring was pressed in the middle of Greem's forehead. In addition to giving Greem a gentle and elegant temperament, it gave Greem a slight increase in mental power by +1.
For senior apprentices, this ring has lost its ability to stimulate and strengthen mental power, but for Greem, whose mental power is only 8 points, it can bring him a considerable improvement.
The problem of dark vision has also been solved.
The solution is a kind of gnomish engineering goggles!
According to the explanation of the intermediate apprentice who traded it to Greem, this should be the crystallization of a civilization from an alien plane. Putting on the goggles formed by a combination of a black leather case and a transparent crystal, Greem can see in a low-light environment.
Be aware of everything around you.
After Greem took it back, he also had the chip scanned and analyzed. This weird thing should be a product of a mechanical civilization. The existence of elemental fluctuations cannot be sensed on it, just like a mortal item. And the reason why it can
The ability to see in low light relies entirely on those underground crystal stones that have been polished using special techniques.
As for the composition of the crystal, the chip has also analyzed it. It is not a product of the wizarding world. It should be a special product of the plane where this mechanical civilization is located.
As a large plane, the wizarding world has also captured and enslaved countless small and medium-sized planes, and this dwarf engineering goggles may come from one of the enslaved secondary planes.
In the general understanding of the wizarding world, only formal wizards have the qualifications to travel through planes and conquer other worlds, and below the official wizards, even those quasi-witches with outstanding talents are not qualified to participate in the conquest of other planes. So Gree
Mu could only imagine what this mechanical civilization world might look like, while carefully putting the dwarf engineering goggles into his bag.
As for the problem of underground breathing, Greem also solved it through biological means.
There is also a guy among the apprentices in the tower who is good at biomodification. He used snake vine and rootless purple leaf flowers, mixed with insect oil, toad excrement and other strange things to make a breath similar to that of a grass leaf insect.
Organ. When Greem needs to go to a closed environment, as long as this respiratory organ is inserted into his mouth in time, he will temporarily gain the ability to breathe through his skin.
And when he doesn't need assisted breathing, he only needs to spit it out, and the superpower will disappear. Since this is only an auxiliary organ, not an organ replacement, there is no problem of blood contamination.
After solving these problems, Greem finally let go of his worries and never left the door of his residence easily. He spent the whole day meditating or studying hard to understand the witchcraft books that had just been collected.
On the fifth day of accepting the compulsory mission, Greem finally received the chip notification that the optimization of Yan Ya was completed.
"Hey, the model of Yan Ya's mental power has been optimized... Do you want to display the optimization content?"
"Show!" Greem replied impatiently.
As a long series of data streams appeared, Greem projected in his mind what the long-range witchcraft of Flame Arrow would look like after extensive optimization.
If the flame arrow was just a magic arrow before, then it now looks like a flame spear. The gentle and stagnant high-temperature flame condensed into the shape of a spear, and with a thought from Greem, it
It can be fired out quickly, causing double physical and fire damage to the enemy.
Flame Spear, an intermediate offensive witchcraft of the fire system, can condense the flame into the form of a spear to attack the enemy. Physical damage: 11 points. Fire damage: 21 points. Attack distance: 5-300 meters. Cooling time: 8 seconds. Costs witchcraft
Strength: 24 points.
With Greem's mental power of 9.37 points after wearing the noble ring, he only has 94 points of witchcraft. Intermediate offensive witchcraft such as Flame Spear can only activate 4 at most before exhausting his mental power. So like
It is more appropriate to reserve this method as a trump card at critical times.
After all, with the attack power of the flame spear, it is no problem to break through the spell protection of an intermediate apprentice with one blow. Even if you encounter a senior apprentice with defensive witchcraft, the flame spear is also an offensive witchcraft that cannot be underestimated.
To be honest, it is only now that Greem truly has a physical skill that he can use. With it, Greem has a slight guarantee for his next mission.
Finally, amid the anxious waiting and suffering of many tower apprentices, the day of departure came.
