The swamp crocodile king is dead.

Died at the hands of two inconspicuous little men!

Greem commanded the mud golem to quickly dismember the giant crocodile king, harvested some important biological materials and an earth system nucleus the size of a pigeon egg, and then ran away before many swamp giant crocodiles surrounded him.

And when Greem's figure disappeared at the end of the path, behind a ghost tree less than half a mile away from the battlefield just now, Mary in red was staring at the giant swamp crocodile in the distance that kept hissing furiously. Under her body, there were 14 broken bodies of scavenging crows lying obliquely.

She had a panoramic view of the whole process of Greem's battle just now, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

Swamp giant crocodile king

That is a terrifying monster that even she would not provoke!

Although the Swamp Giant Crocodile King only has the rank of senior apprentice, and she is also a senior apprentice, the real combat power is not calculated in this way. With her super high agility, even if the swamp giant crocodile had wings, he wouldn't be able to touch her clothes. But the giant swamp crocodile king's thick and hopeless scales cannot be broken by her "weak" attack.

To be honest, the giant swamp crocodile could not catch up with her, and she couldn't beat the giant swamp crocodile either.

So Mary in Red clearly knew the limits of her abilities. In the absence of good defense means, she may be able to abuse many wizard apprentices. But as the apprentice's strength continues to improve, her advantage will become smaller and smaller.

But now, an inconspicuous junior apprentice "little brother" has hidden such a means, and can grind the swamp giant crocodile to death with that incomparably weird clay puppet.

This... This really made her a little at a loss!

Looking at the shattered crow corpse under her, her eyes were a little wandering.

That's the "little brother" she personally accepted! When did he become the main force in the battle, and he became a servant who cleaned up the peripheral eyeliner? For no reason, a surge of anger surged in Mary's heart, and a line of blood was stained in the middle of the green pupils.

I am the boss, and he is just a younger brother, this primary and secondary relationship must not be changed! It seems that it is time to find time to teach this self-righteous "subordinate". Although he was nice to him before, that couldn't be the reason for him to ride on his head. Well, I will teach him a lesson when I go back!

Suppressing the manic and sullen cry in her heart, Mary leaped forward and transformed into a petite vampire bat, flapping her wings and disappearing on the spot.

When Mary in red knocked on the door full of anger, Greem greeted her with a bright smile.

Pulling Mary into the room, Greem presented his gift in a treasure-presenting manner.

"Mary, what do you think this is? Don't you like the blood of the strong? Do you think this is useful?"

The smelly and pungent viscous blood was packed in a clay pot, and Greem held it in both hands and presented it in front of Mary, while his face was shining with anticipation, with an expression of hoping to be praised.

"This... what is this?" Mary said eagerly.

Somehow, when she came to the door aggressively just now, the anger that was full of anger dissipated in an instant, and even her own speech became a little stuttered.

"Don't ask. Just try it first and see if you like it! I have done a lot this time. If you like it, I will go to the laboratory to purify them and get rid of the fishy smell. This will definitely taste better! "

Mary in red put on a pretty face, and criticized unreasonably.

"How can anyone give gifts like you? They don't even have any decent decorations, and they are served directly in rough clay pots. At least they should be replaced with crystal clear tall crystal cups! And how did you extract the blood? Don’t you know that the sweetest thing in a living thing is the heart? For the sake of your sincerity, I forgive you for being rude this time. Remember to pack them up and give them to me next time!”

"I understand, I understand, I understand... I understand, I understand... This... Mary! You have seen so many things, and it may take a lot of time to complete them all at once. My knowledge points may not be enough..."

Mary in red's green pupils narrowed into a line, and a dangerous light flashed inside.

"What? Are you borrowing money from me?"

"Where is it... I just borrow it temporarily, and I will return it to you when the things I put up for sale are sold." Greem couldn't help laughing. The soil crystal nucleus harvested this time is obviously better than the previous one, and there is more space for laying out the witch array. How to make more reasonable use of it has also become a big problem.

The time for departure is getting closer and closer, and the time left for him is getting less and less, and there are still several urgent things waiting for him to complete.

The earth system crystal nucleus just harvested is undoubtedly one.

For this crystal nucleus, Greem already had an alternative idea. Since they are both earth-type crystal nuclei, why can't the energy of the summoned clay golems be connected? Wouldn't it be better to separate and do their own thing, and to connect and share energy together

For Greem's new idea, the chip has already completed preliminary calculations, and it only needs to collect a part of the witchcraft knowledge of energy connection and soul coordination to formally structure it.

And the second thing Greem was anxiously waiting for was a suitable defensive witchcraft.

The two fire-type witchcrafts he currently masters, one is a melee attack, which also has a little self-defense function, and the other is a pure long-range attack, which always leaves him with a huge loophole in personal defense. If he doesn't find ways to improve this point, he will always be a scum that can be snuffed out in front of those senior apprentices.

The evil insect Entik relies on the division of the insect body, and is simply an invincible Xiaoqiang, who is not afraid of the enemy's attack at all. The crazy girl has an extremely high physique, and her own attack power is also invincible, so she never needs to worry about her own safety. Hawkeye Clutha's abilities are unknown. Mary in red is extremely agile, and has the terrifying ability to rebirth by sucking blood, so she is also a Xiaoqiang-level character.

These senior apprentices Greem was able to collect information already had their own complete and systematic path of witchcraft. Whether it is offense or defense, each has its own unique means of response, so the combat power displayed is also very different. But no matter who he was facing, Greem was not sure of surviving them.

This is Greem's current flaw.

Due to the lack of knowledge and lack of resources, even Greem is at the bottom of the list of junior apprentices. So far, he has not really chosen his own path, so there is no wizarding world built around his own wizarding path. technique system.

Although he aspired to become a regular wizard before, he also possessed some methods of a mysterious wizard. But before he could put in effort for this, this damned compulsory task interrupted his normal way forward.

If he followed his previous plan, he should now devote most of his resources to the basic knowledge and theory of fire witchcraft, and strive to improve his mental power, so that he can keep up with the big troops earlier and become an intermediate apprentice. According to his estimation, this process will take at least 3 months to bear fruit.

But now there is a red nightmare-like compulsory task pressing on his head. If the time comes, if he has no way to deal with it, he may die in that terrible dark crypt without even a chance to regret it. For this reason, Greem had to adjust the resource allocation plan, putting all the chips on summoning puppets.

And the direct consequence of this is that Greem is about to go bankrupt!

He doesn't have enough knowledge points to go to the alchemy laboratory, nor enough knowledge points to collect defensive witchcraft, and he doesn't have enough gold coins to buy some suitable props...

Others can be released, but there is not enough knowledge to support the refining of new crystal nuclei, this is really killing Greem. Otherwise, he wouldn't be shameless and want to play the autumn wind on Mary.

Mary's colorful eyes stared at Greem for a while, and finally nodded silently.

After receiving an "investment" from Mary, Greem rushed to the alchemy laboratory impatiently, and chose 7 hours of extravagant time.

This time the swamp giant crocodile king left him a soil crystal core the size of a pigeon egg. According to the design of the chip, in addition to a few basic control witch formations, more space can be reserved for energy nodes. Therefore, the last crystal nucleus that summoned the puppet had only 4 energy nodes, but this one will have as many as 9.

More energy nodes means more complicated Wuzhen design, as well as countless structural changes, so from the moment the crystal core is in hand, the chip has been busy with calculations and tests in this area.

And when Greem processed all kinds of witchcraft materials in advance, the chip was considered to have completed the work.

"Drip, the structure design of the latest magic puppet summoning crystal nucleus has been completed, is the data transmission going?"

"transmission!"

Following the incoming of a stream of data, Greem closed his eyes and finally saw this custom-made three-dimensional witch array.

Counting carefully, as many as 15 large and small witch formations need to be etched on the surface of the summoning crystal nucleus the size of a pigeon egg, and they also need to be linked together to form a more refined and large perfect witch formation. Only chips can complete this kind of work so quickly, but Greem can't even parse most of the rune structures inside.

After trying a few times, Greem could only give up this self-torturing meaningless contest, and turned to pay attention to the problems that need to be paid attention to when etching for a while.

The chip is like a powerful auxiliary tool. With its assistance, Greem can completely avoid the lack of knowledge and skills, and directly decompose the overall work into countless simple and direct partial operations. With trivial local operations, Greem, a novice alchemist, can complete complex rune structures that only master alchemists can control in one go.

Therefore, at this time, what Greem was more worried about was not whether he was qualified for this job, but whether his mental strength could support such a huge and cumbersome task project.

But he doesn't seem to have much of a way out.

Assemble the golem troops you need as soon as possible, complete the optimization of attack methods, and then squeeze out time to master a defensive witchcraft, so that you can benefit both offensively and defensively. This is the key to surviving this mission!

Greem took a deep breath, stood in front of the alchemy table again, put aside all distracting thoughts, and devoted all his attention to the preparation of the new summoning crystal nucleus.
