While the monsters were frightened by the magic fire in his hand, Greem quickly walked out of the path, dug up the soil at the foot of a murderous tree, and used the magic fire to force open the thick tree roots. Only then did he see the materials that must be harvested today.
.
Among the shaggy roots of the killer tree and the white human bones grew thumb-sized rhizomes, some white, some red, and some purple. Greem suppressed the disgust in his heart and used
I picked 3 purple beads with my knife and carefully put them into my waist bag, then quickly walked back to the path.
There is no way, this is one of the patrol tasks that must be completed, otherwise he will not be willing to take a step out of the path if he is killed! Even if he moved so quickly just now, the monsters that had just escaped have gathered again. And he
Where I was squatting just now, the parasitic vampire vine on the murderous tree has also drooped its vines.
If he moves a little slower, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape smoothly without going through a lot of killing!
Just now, he relied on his elemental vision to directly find the one with mature stems among the many murderous trees. But in normal times, he needs to frequently enter and exit the trails and conduct constant searches to gain anything. And in that case, his danger will also increase.
It increases sharply with the number of entries and exits.
After walking along the eerie path for a hundred or two hundred meters, we left the living area of the murderous tree. In front of us was a terrifying ghost tree across the gravel path. The vine branches hanging from it were like living things, still there.
Live and squirm.
Pulling out the witchcraft amulet that represented his identity from his neck, Greem softly recited the secret magic words that every wizard apprentice must master.
"Muhantolia*Sinro."
When the magic secret word was completed, an invisible and mysterious power burst out from the black cross-like amulet, quickly sweeping through every inch of the surrounding space.
An emergency alert sounded quickly in Greem's mind.
"An abnormal wave force field was detected, and the chip function was interfered with..."
The sound of the chip became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a noisy and harsh noise, and there was no more movement.
However, Greem didn't take it seriously and strode forward with the witchcraft amulet held high. As he approached, the vines continued to retreat and curl up, finally giving way to a desolate and desolate road.
After inspecting the territory of the murderous tree and the vampire vine, it was time to enter the paradise of those infant monsters. For there, Greem's heart was always filled with unconcealable fear.
After passing through the spooky ghost tree, there is a monster living area called the Whispering Garden.
Both sides of the path are almost entirely covered with deserted flowerbeds and abandoned gardens, large and small, filled with gray and endless monsters.
The special climate environment of the Magic Swamp has made this place a place where baby monsters, banshees, and flower spirits enjoy themselves. A large number of twisted monsters who only know how to satisfy their own appetites have gathered here. Every living person who breaks into this place will eventually...
Under their endless malicious infection and illusion temptation, they have become fertilizer for many special plants that like death and resentment.
Groups of human-faced mushrooms gathered on both sides of the road, holding hands, singing cheerful songs, and warmly inviting Greem to join their team. This little thing looks like a small mushroom with arms and legs.
It is famous because the markings on the umbrella cover look particularly like human faces.
Even though these human-faced mushrooms had arms and legs, they were still no taller than human calves when they stood together, but when they came together and danced and laughed, Greem felt a deep chill spread throughout his body.
"Warning... warning... special force field fluctuations are detected that are affecting the subject... please leave the area in time..."
Greem kept backing away. When he was a little further away from the group of human mushrooms, the chill in his body began to slowly subside.
Although these human-faced mushrooms look cute, they are out-and-out carnivorous monsters, and they are so ferocious that they will not even let go of the souls of their prey. Their bodies are white mushrooms contaminated with heavy dark elements, and each individual has only
The very weak hallucinogenic ability is simply not enough to capture "large" creatures like humans.
But they can't stand it, they are social creatures.
Hundreds of human-faced mushrooms gathered together can completely form a mirage-like illusion field, allowing the deluded creatures to indulge in it without knowing it. Therefore, when a group of human-faced mushrooms pounce on the victim to feast
, this victim is still immersed in an unknown fantasy space with a smile on his face!
For formal wizards, these human-faced mushrooms with simple hallucinogenic abilities are good materials for witchcraft medicine. But for wizard apprentices like Greem, they risk being trapped and killed by little monsters every time they visit here.
Life is in danger.
If Greem can't withstand the magic realm of the Human-Faced Mushroom and is lured into the flower garden, then the Human-Faced Mushrooms can feast on it without violating the contract!
Therefore, facing this group of insidious monsters that were laughing and approaching him, Greem grinned and took out a pebble the size of an egg from his pocket and threw it into their dense group.
The next moment, a light blue lightning flashed, and the five human-faced mushrooms clustered together fell down silently. The other human-faced mushrooms that were not affected by the lightning ran away in fear and hid in the distance.
In the grass, in the bushes and behind the trees.
Greem quickly walked to the five human-faced mushrooms and put them into his waist bag one by one. Then he picked up the pebbles and quickly returned to the gravel path.
This is the thunder stone he bought at a high price from his apprentice Rex. After being vibrated, it can release forked lightning with an energy level of 5 points in the surrounding area. It is suitable for dealing with the weak human-faced mushrooms. After all, he has mastered the burning ability himself.
His hands were really not suitable for arrest, so he had to think of another way.
Those human-faced mushrooms never dared to show their faces again after being frightened. However, the countless Dawson-han eyes and chattering voices were always around Grim, making him feel creepy.
These human-faced mushrooms are also materials that must be harvested for each inspection mission, so as soon as Greem completed this mission, he continued to move forward along the intestinal path and did not dare to stay here for any longer.
To be honest, this is also the most dangerous area with the highest mortality rate for wizard apprentices!
After leaving the garden where the human-faced mushrooms were cultivated, Greem soon came to the area where the baby monsters lived.
Baby monsters are small monsters with bodies that are withered and shriveled like human babies, and are dragging strange things like umbilical cords behind them. They crawl on the ground, crawl very fast, and their voices are shrill and harsh baby cries.
These baby monsters are not real babies, but more terrifying monsters, born with the instinct of "spelling". In other words, part of what they say will become reality under the resonance of their strong will.
This is simply an unlimited wish technique.
It's a pity that they are evil creatures with extremely twisted minds, and their hearts are full of vicious curses and resentments. Therefore, don't expect them to give you any good blessings. All you can get is endless abuse and malice.
The curse.
When dozens of baby monsters gather together to issue the most vicious curse to a target, even a giant geomaniac will be infected by the layer upon layer of malice into a soft-legged crab, and then be slaughtered by them.
Walking among such a group of madmen, you really need a super strong and determined heart and will, otherwise you will be skinned and torn by them in minutes, and your soul will fall into them, becoming one of the many confused souls in this whispering garden.
.
These special types of monsters have their own territory, which they will not easily cross, otherwise it is not impossible to provoke a war between monsters.
Therefore, when Grim was walking quickly on the winding path, the surrounding deserted and desolate garden grass was full of weird and strange noises. He did not dare to stop here, and could only hold his chest firmly with his hands.
talisman, bowed his head and walked forward quickly.
Finally, before the sharp and piercing baby cries filled his ears, Greem had already rushed out of the Whispering Garden and turned into another path.
As a daily task for patrolling apprentices, he was required to monitor the movements of monsters near the tower every seven days and harvest some witchcraft materials appropriately. This was almost the entire content of Greem's trip.
And the area he is patrolling now is actually still within the inner perimeter of the Magic Swamp, and there are very few outsiders who can break into it. After all, the monsters cultivated by wizards are extremely dangerous, that is, wizard apprentices wearing witchcraft
Magic talismans may not guarantee safety, and ordinary humans who want to sneak in here to steal wizard resources are risking their lives against their luck.
To be honest, it would be difficult for such a mortal to pass through the outer perimeter of the magic swamp.
However, according to Greem's knowledge, sometimes, the Wizard Tower will intentionally release some peripheral restrictions, and even actively lure some mortals into the depths of the swamp. At that time, it is usually these inner monsters that can have a full meal.
It’s carnival time!
The Wizard Tower is a huge ring-shaped tower. The geographical environment around the base is extremely complex, and the distribution of monsters is even more patchy. Therefore, each inspection requires at least two wizard apprentices, one in a straight line and one in a reverse direction, traveling across the continent along a fixed route.
Part of the monster living area. Starting from the main entrance of the tower, meeting at the back entrance, and completing such a closed circle, their patrol mission is basically completed.
Each inspection mission can bring them 4 knowledge points and a certain amount of gold coins. Compared with other tasks in the tower, the rewards of knowledge points are already extremely generous. But even so, many wizard apprentices are eager for knowledge points.
I still feel daunted by patrol tasks and can't avoid them.
Without it, the mortality rate of patrol missions is definitely the highest among tower missions! No one else.
During this inspection, Greem took the reverse loop, which required him to pass through areas such as the Killing Woods, the Human-Faced Mushroom Farm, and the Whispering Garden. The other wizard apprentice, Tony, took the forward loop, which was not necessarily safer than his place. After all, those places
The swamp crocodile, the old hag, and the parasite mother are not vegetarians either!
Especially when harvesting crocodile eggs and cocoons, you need to go deep into their lairs, which makes the patrol mission more dangerous. So when Grim saw Tony at the back door of the tower, he was very pleased with his luck.
The two of them didn't talk much after meeting, and walked into the tower with a faint nod.
Waiting for them here is the apprentice chief Ankesuo. After delivering the mission items in sequence, the two of them will be completely free in the next six days. As for the knowledge points, the apprentice chief Ankesuo also recorded them in a special way.
among the witchcraft talismans.
For the tower apprentices, the witchcraft amulet is actually equivalent to their identity nameplate.
