Chapter 35: Face to face

Now that you have selected your favorite mission, you need to sign up quickly.

After all, the number of people who have signed up and the total number of people required are marked behind each task. Once the registration is full, the task will immediately disappear from the task list and enter the task execution mode. If you start late, your favorite task will slip away from your eyes.

As soon as the tower wizard Anderson released the mission, he returned to his residence without saying a word, and all the statistical work of subsequent registrations naturally fell on the apprentice Alan.

As expected, the only green mission stationed at the Swamp Tower was instantly occupied by Allen, and even a few apprentices who were close to him became the winners. As for the remaining spots, although there were still vacancies, he monopolized them, as if the price was set on the ground, and the highest bidder won.

Those junior apprentices with the weakest strength surrounded him, dare not speak out, and could only bargain with him in a low voice. Some pretty female apprentices were all over the place with winking eyes, covering Alan's side with impenetrable wind and rain. And more junior apprentices gathered around the three powerhouses, chattering about something, apparently undecided.

Mary led Greem to the outside of the crowd, raised her eyebrows, and those soft-spoken guys immediately moved aside, letting out the chief apprentice Alan who was surrounded by them.

Don't look at Alan's high-spirited look in front of others, but in front of the three powerhouses and Mary, he still can't get up.

The three strongest are the strongest senior apprentices recognized by the apprentices. If there is a head-on conflict, a guy like Alan who barely entered the middle-level apprenticeship with the help of a witch weapon, no matter how many helpers there are, it is not enough for the top three to clean up.

As for Mary, Allen was really a little frightened.

Even after becoming the head apprentice, Alan felt terrified when he thought of Mary in red, drenched in blood and horrifying. And after wizard Anderson took Mary in red, he put her back intact, clearly keeping her in the tower. So without sufficient excuses and reasons, Allen would never want to have a direct conflict with Mary.

Seeing Mary in red getting closer and closer, although Alan forced himself to be calm, his pale face and wandering eyes still betrayed him. For this lawless vampire, he is really afraid!

"I want to sign up for the task of exploring the dark crypt, register for me!" Mary didn't care about him, and still had a strong appearance of shouting and shouting.

Allen quietly took out the witchcraft amulet representing his identity as the head apprentice, and the spiritual power penetrated into it, and a small light screen appeared on it. And the content on the screen was exactly the task Mary had chosen to explore the dark crypt.

Mary also took out her witchcraft talisman, pointed it at the light screen, and in an instant the 4/10 representing the number of participants behind the task on the light screen became 5/10. It seems that before her, 4 apprentices have already chosen this exploration mission.

Now it's Greem's turn to choose the mission.

"I'll choose the Krag Alchemy Apprentice Trial Quest!" Greem said calmly.

Allen glanced at him lightly, and silently adjusted the content on the light screen. As the light and shadow swayed, the task that Greem needed appeared on it.

Greem didn't say a word, took out the witchcraft amulet, and tapped the screen without hesitation. However, to his surprise, the moment the witchcraft talisman was about to touch the light screen, the task content on the light screen shook strangely and changed to the task that Mary had chosen before.

So, without warning, Greem's witchcraft amulet touched the light screen.

In the next second, the number of missions exploring the dark cave on the light screen changed from 5/10 to 6/10.

Such an unprecedented thing stunned everyone in the field, even Allen was inexplicable. He forced a smile.

"Ahhh... what's the matter? Why did this witch weapon suddenly go wrong! You see, it's a mess... why don't you go to the wizard and ask if you can cancel this mission?"

While everyone was still stunned, Mary in red was the first to erupt.

Silently, Mary's sharp nails were stained with a faint light, cutting through the air and piercing towards Alan's heart with a piercing scream. With such a close distance, coupled with the huge difference in agility between the two, I am afraid that he will not be able to realize that he has been attacked until Mary pulls out Ellen's heart.

However, just as the red-clothed Mary's slender hand stabbed halfway, a big black hand with shiny scales stretched out from the side and collided with it.

The two hands seemed to have only exchanged blows once in the air, but for no reason, the big hand that looked like a monster's claw disintegrated instantly, and was smashed into pieces by Mary's sharp nails. In this first face-to-face confrontation, it seemed that Mary had the upper hand, but the opponent's big hand that was twisted into pieces did not have a trace of blood flowing out, and the flying fragments transformed into countless black-bodied, black-armored and black-tailed scorpions , nailed and hung on Mary's slender hands.

Mary took a step back, waved her slender hands, and quickly strangled the chasing scorpions one by one. At this time, Entik, the evil insect covered in a burqa, was already standing beside Allen.

The big hand just now belonged to him.

The scorpions flying all over the sky buzzed and poured into Entik's lowered cuffs like a swarm of bees returning to their nests, and there was no further movement. Such a strange scene further brought out the horror of the evil insects.

With a pale face, Greem glanced at the light screen for the last time, turned around and dragged Mary, who was like a prickly she-cat, away silently. But Mary, who was usually fierce, was not reckless at this moment. With keen perception, she also noticed that the other two of the three powerhouses had quietly stood up and were silently approaching the battlefield.

Those who can become apprentices are not stupid, but those who can become advanced apprentices are even more human. Except for a very few with particularly weird tempers, most of the senior apprentices already know the way to restrain themselves and protect themselves. Obviously, Mary in Red, a senior apprentice who jumped up suddenly, has seriously threatened the status of the three powerhouses, so intentionally or not, the three of them have started to crowd out Mary in Red.

...

When they parted at the door of the residence, Mary wanted to comfort Greem, but he refused with a smile.

Stepping into his residence, and gently closing the wooden door, Greem stood silently in the darkness for a long time.

He saw clearly what happened today, and it didn't have much to do with Mary. If the main messenger was to be held accountable, Greem dared to say that it must be the evil bug Entik. Although it is not certain whether it was because of what happened last time that he robbed him of his prestige, or if the three of them wanted to give Mary a blow, in short, Alan's small actions today must have been instructed by Entik.

The gods fight, and the little ghosts suffer!

Such a situation is actually the tragedy of the weak.

So Greem didn't want to go back to the root cause at all, but tried to figure out the future for himself.

That red quest to explore the Dark Crypt is a standard dangerous quest. If he had the ability to be a witch, he would be in danger. If you have advanced strength, you should be careful to protect yourself and you should have no worries. But who called himself a junior apprentice!

With such strength among a group of senior apprentices, although Mary will definitely take care of her a little bit, she still needs some means that she can use. Mary in red may be grateful for some of her kindness during her downturn, but this is not enough for her to risk her life to save herself.

So in the final analysis, Greem must have his own self-protection power.

In the darkness, Greem took out the clay golem that had just been refined from his pocket, and the fluorescence of the earth element flickered slightly on the finger-sized crystal nucleus. The four energy nodes etched on it can continuously absorb the free earth elements in the air day and night, and store them as combat energy.

2 of the 4 energy nodes have been lit up, half of the energy of the earth element has been charged, so you should be able to try it out.

Greem listened carefully to the movement outside the door, gently opened the wooden door, and left the residence in a flash.

At this time, most of the apprentices were probably still gathering in the lecture hall, worrying about the mandatory tasks, so Greem didn't meet half of the apprentices along the way.

A quarter of an hour later, Greem walked on the familiar gravel path outside the tower again.

The battle between the senior apprentices yesterday obviously caused a lot of damage to the swamp monsters. Along the way, looking at the sparse figures of monsters, Greem felt a rare feeling of desolation in his heart.

These monsters usually look scary and evil enough, but once they encounter more powerful wizard apprentices, they become shivering pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and can only hide around in vain.

Perhaps in the eyes of those monsters, these wizard apprentices are more evil and cold-blooded monsters!

Going all the way along the gravel path, Greem came directly to the testing ground he chose - the mud swamp.

Simba died and turned into a clay golem in his hands. These hags are suitable for training when the group of monsters has no leader.

Standing still on the outskirts of the silt swamp, 5 steps away is a dirty and smelly pool. In the muddy and dark pool, the faint soul fluctuations of the three hags can be faintly sensed.

Greem casually threw the mud golem's summoning crystal nucleus to the side of Tan. As soon as the light yellow crystal touched the soil and water vapor, he could sense an inexplicable fluctuation from above.

Under the induction of Greem's mental fluctuations, a large amount of khaki smoke began to gather near the crystal without any activation spell. The soil on the ground began to rise and twist under the drive of a strange force, and then shaped into a humanoid clay puppet.

Greem closed his eyes and sensed that the crystal nucleus he refined was located on the chest of the clay golem.

Open your eyes and look at it up and down.

This is currently the only clay golem who can change his own destiny!
