According to Reggie's estimation, Saga's five-story basement has extended to thirty feet underground, and on the fifth floor, there is actually a "lookout well" that extends downward for nearly two hundred feet.
Because the well is so deep, the bottom of the well can only be seen with the help of witchcraft. Batchelor will recite a spell every two hours, then throw a piece of firewood to the bottom of the well to observe the situation underground.
"This is the first time I've seen you use witchcraft."
"Actually, I have always used witchcraft," Batchelor finally stopped hiding his identity as a wizard, "but most of the time it is not noticed by anyone."
"What's underneath this well?"
"It's a passage, belonging to the mud demons. They look very restless. I guess it must be raining outside."
"You guessed it right, it's indeed raining outside, but you have to tell me first, what is the Mud Demon's passage?"
Batchelor took Reggie to the door of another door. Before opening the door, he asked cautiously: "Sir, have you eaten?"
It seems that after living on Camel Island for a long time, Bachelo has become accustomed to Eastern etiquette. Reggie smiled and said: "I have been thinking about you, so how can I be in the mood to eat? Why don't you cook something first..."
When Reggie said he hadn't eaten, Bacello was relieved. He opened the door and lit the candlestick. Reggie lost his appetite in an instant.
This room was empty, but there was a very bright mural on the plaster wall. Maybe Reggie didn't have enough artistic skills. He didn't understand the content of the mural. He only saw that the mural was full of realistic and lifelike figures.
Bugs, and perfectly depicts the fleshy texture and squirming feeling of these bugs.
"It seems that this mural can save you a lot of food." Reggie wanted to avoid details as much as possible and appreciate the painting as a whole. "Let me see, this... is a nest of some kind of insect. Could it be a mud demon?
?”
Batchelor admired: "Sir, your wisdom is always enviable. This is a cross-section of Camel Island, which is the lair of the Mud Demon."
"Cross section? Bachelor, you have made a lot of progress and actually understand the concept of cross section..." Reggie's smile froze on his face. He stared at the mural for a long time. At the top of the picture, he
I saw the surface of Tuodao Island and the location of Tuodao City.
This is not a standard cross-sectional view, and many parts that overlap in perspective are misaligned on the paper.
But whether it is standardized or not is not the point. The point is that this painting starts from the surface of Camel Island and extends underground for nearly two hundred feet, showing the internal structure of Camel Island in front of Reggie.
"Is this... drawn by Saga?"
"Yes, it took nearly twenty years of hard work."
"How did he do it?"
Batchelor picked up a piece of firewood and said: "This is the trunk of Digdi. It has the mark of Lady Tonandita on it. It is very similar to Abu's mark. When it burns to ashes, it will follow the mud demon."
They squirm underground together and become Lord Tonandita's eyes, allowing him to explore the underground world bit by bit."
This is how hard Saga put in fighting the Mud Demon. Regardless of how many bad deeds he has committed, based on what he has done over the past few decades, no one on this continent is qualified to accuse him.
"It's here, it's here, how come it's everywhere?" Judging from the picture, the entire Camel Island is the lair of mud demons, and their living space is much larger than that of the residents on the ground.
The bottom layer of the picture is a vast cave. There is a large group of indescribable creatures in the cave. According to Bachelo's explanation, this creature is so big that Saga cannot observe its exact shape. Judging from the area, this
The body of the creature is equivalent to two-thirds of Camel Island.
According to Saga's inference, she should be the mother of the mud demon, and all mud demons were created by her. Above her cave, there are six caves, and these caves are inhabited by six spherical creatures. According to Bachelo,
Said, their size is about the same as a castle.
Their task is to classify the newly born mud devils, that is, to determine their future breed.
Batchelor pointed to these caves one by one and said: "The mud demons coming out of here will become diggers. They look a lot like mole crickets. And the ones here will become collectors, responsible for collecting soil. They look a bit like
Earthworms, this one is a scout, it has tentacles all over its body, it can sense subtle changes in the soil, this one is a rotter, it is responsible for digesting food, it looks like a lump... Forget it, let's take a look at this again, this is a wise man.
"
Reggie saw a humanoid clay demon with limbs, facial features, and rich expressions, almost no different from a normal person.
"These are the most dangerous mud demons. They can disguise themselves as humans, blend into humans, and can inquire about information, fight, and speak some simple languages. Lord Tonandita has spent a lot of time on them.
With their thoughts, the plants on the island will capture them first.”
Reggie was very lucky. The number of wise men was very rare, and the mud demon he saw for the first time was this little humanoid monster. The Hades Wizard had such an in-depth understanding of the mud demon, so it's no wonder he could do it on his own.
He used his strength to suppress the mud demons on Camel Island for decades.
"Is the mud that attacks Camel Island City also a mud demon?"
"They are mud demons, produced here," Bacello pointed to the last cave. "They have no shape, they are pure mud, and they are also the lowest mud demons, but they have life, and they have the ability to rot and bond.
and devouring means, they can fight alone. A small piece of silt may not be able to do much, but they can also gather infinitely and eventually become a sea of silt. More importantly, their lives are very strong, even if there is only a narrow
They can also spew out of the exit, while other mud demons can only come to the ground without threatening them."
Reggie asked in surprise: "What do you mean there is no threat?"
Batchelor said: "For example, if a big tree dies in the forest, the Mud Devils can spurt out from the roots of the tree, but other Mud Devils cannot get out of the ground because the surrounding plants will still capture them."
"Why don't plants trap mud?"
"Because it is difficult for plants to detect the presence of mud. As long as there is an exit in the forest, what will come out will definitely be mud."
"This stuff is very similar to sand devil slime."
"There is a huge difference between mud demons and sand demons," Batchelor shook his head. "Sand demons can use sand to build their bodies and internal organs. Sand demons have the ability to think independently, but mud demon warriors are different. Their forms are always
Mud, they have no body, no guts, and they can't think."
"This is really ridiculous. If you can't think, why would you attack Tuodao City?"
"They accept the command of the wise men," Batchelor pointed to the monsters covered with tentacles. "All the mud demons accept the commands of the wise men. Wherever the wise men's tentacles reach, all mud demons will obey orders."
"Then whose command does the wise man accept?"
Batchelor said: "This is unknown. Maybe it is their mother. According to your theory, the mud demons are primitive beings. It is difficult for us to understand their behavior."
Batchelor lit the fire and was going to cook some porridge for Reggie, who continued to observe the cross-section.
"It seems that there are many ways to deal with mud demons, but the most effective way is to kill their wise men, or simply kill their mothers."
"I'm afraid it's not practical to kill their mother. Even Lord Tonandita's witchcraft can't reach that deep. I've been here for so many days just to kill all their wise men," Bachelot
Throwing another piece of firewood into the well, "Lord Tonandita has killed a total of 1,863 wise men. I thought that the wise men had been exterminated, but I found three more, and now they have been killed."
