The Black Forest in the afternoon looked extremely boring and hot.
The tall and straight tree supports a huge canopy like an umbrella.
The tall and ancient trees are not far apart, and the crowns, branches and vines are all mixed together, forming a dense and deep forest. There is a faint mist floating in the forest, and the sunlight leaking from the gaps in the branches and leaves forms a slanting beam of light, embellishing the forest like a dream.
In the forest, there was not a single sound of beasts or insects.
The soil at the base of a tall and ancient tree suddenly rolled, and a bump the size of a human head bulged, and then countless black beetles gushed out of it, gathering into a wriggling human form.
This worm man made of countless beetles stood silently for a while, as if he was silently communicating with some of his subordinates in the distance. After a while, the worm-man raised the head of thousands of worms, turned around and looked in the direction of the hive of the Abe-bee-man, full of deep doubts in his heart.
The Yabei bees actually gave up the outer hunting area and the inner living area, and all retreated back to the hive. This is obviously beyond 'his' expectation!
But after a little thought, Billis deduced the possible actions of the Abe bee from the knowledge crystal that Greem had given him.
The knowledge crystals that Greem sent to him were quite rich in content, covering almost the race origin, ethnic group structure, ruling method, power operation method, basic data of ethnic group members, as well as their fighting methods and occupations. characteristic…
With these data, Billis could almost beat this group of low-level monsters who were large enough to overwhelm his little bug army. In many cases, Billis can even set up various traps, waiting for the bees to come to the door by themselves.
As for the abnormal behavior of the Abebee, Billis can still find the answer he needs from the knowledge crystal.
Blood locust, this is probably the only support of those Yabei beemen!
The blood locust is a terrifying alien creature with the strength of a wizard, and it is also a rare individual among the Abe bee who can surpass the wizard.
Any Abe bee tribe that wants to maintain the existence of a blood locust must sacrifice the lives of three to five bee warriors every day. Therefore, unless the group grows to more than a thousand people, otherwise the bee queen will never easily hatch such a terrifying creature that devours the enemy and herself.
But now, the Abe bee was tortured to the point of madness by this annoying bugman, so he ignored these taboos and prepared to quickly hatch a blood locust to deal with Billis.
It is recorded in the knowledge crystal that the blood locust has a powerful body that is not weaker than that of a junior body-refining wizard. Its flying speed is extremely fast, and its terrifying guillotine-like mouthparts can eat steel raw.
Confronting such a guy head-on, not to mention that the seven young stinging scorpions that Billis had just hatched could not be its opponents, even Billis was in danger of being hunted and killed by him.
Hmph, if you can't afford to offend me, then run away!
Billis is not a wild monster with no brains, staring at one and eating it to death. Anyway, the task the master entrusted to him was to contain the expansion of the Abe bees, and now that it has basically been done, there is no need to stay here and fight with them.
Back to Wuta
Thinking of the aggressive look of that forest demon when he saw him, Billis felt vicious murderous intent in his heart. But that forest demon seems to be the partner of another 'mouse', and that 'mouse' is the master's assistant, so it seems that it can't move easily.
Since we are not going back to the Wu Tower, let's find trouble with other monsters!
The owner said that the three demon dogs and Medusa were all hidden hands set by him, and they couldn't be easily moved. Then there are not many choices left.
Wyvern
No, they fly and it's hard to hunt!
Giant elephant
No way, their strength and physique are too strong, with the strength of young stinging scorpions, they can't hurt them at all.
After thinking about it, it seems that the Red Flame Tiger and the ogres are more suitable for him now.
Billis's strength has improved rapidly now, and it is estimated that he will become a senior apprentice after eating two or three times. At that time, his soaring spiritual power will be enough for him to control more subordinates, and his combat power will also be greatly improved.
Well, let's choose the ogre!
They are plentiful and lacking in sorcery, making them perfect for watering your bug army.
After thinking about it, Billis didn't hesitate any longer, his whole body collapsed suddenly, re-formed into countless tiny beetles and burrowed into the ground, and then rushed towards the ogre camp in the northeast.
And behind him, seven juvenile stinging scorpions the size of a washbasin were also quickly crawling underground.
Above the ground, seven slightly raised soil ridges quickly went away...
...
Throne of Fire.
There was an earth-shattering bang.
The entire Wu Tower trembled slightly.
Due to a small mistake, the line drawn on the crystal nucleus of the second-order element was slightly deviated, and the disorder of the magic power led to a terrible explosion.
This explosion obviously exceeded the ability of the alchemy lab to defend the witch array, and the terrifying shock wave overflowed, even affecting the entire witch tower.
Greem opened the door of the laboratory, and staggered out of it, wrapped in a puff of thick black smoke. Behind him, the entire laboratory was in a mess, with broken pieces of the alchemy table and continuous explosions everywhere.
After hearing the news, Korgan, Gargamel and Meryl who rushed to the door eagerly greeted them.
"are you OK… "
"It's all right, master..."
"You're not hurt, teacher..."
Three people, three different greetings, but Greem only got a violent cough.
Greem's young and tough face was pale at the moment, and there was even a trace of blood foam at the corner of his mouth. And on his body, the black robe had already been blasted into several large holes, and sporadic flames were still burning.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it is clear that both the spirit and the body have been injured by the explosion of the element crystal nucleus. In that environment, any defensive witchcraft for body protection cannot withstand the chain explosion caused by the elemental explosion, and even the spirit is easily affected by the elemental shock.
"Cough...too...too bad..." Greem coughed violently, while feeling strongly annoyed: "It's almost finished... or the mental strength can't keep up..."
"Grim, you don't have to worry too much." Although Wizard Korgan regretted that a Tier 2 elemental nucleus was scrapped like this, he still needed to comfort the other party's emotions on the surface: "The deadline for the mission left by the family has not yet expired." It's very generous, don't try it in such a hurry. It's better to be more stable!"
It was difficult for Gargamel and Meryl to intervene on such occasions, so they could only huddle around Greem, treating the more obvious wounds on his body.
Greem's spirit has improved a lot after just slowing down for a while.
"It's really a pity this time! It was only a little bit close, but in the end, I was anxious, but... failed..."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry... There's really no need to be in such a hurry. From my point of view, you still need to be steady... Besides, I've already completed the transformation of those witch beasts you entrusted to me. There are still many things waiting for me on the family side. Go deal with it, I won't stay here any longer..." Greem has been soaking in the laboratory for the past few days, and Korgan hardly saw him, so he took this opportunity to bid farewell to him.
For this, Greem was of course grateful, and asked Gargamel to take the reward agreed in advance and hand it over to Wizard Korgan.
Although everyone is a wizard in the same family, this kind of task that consumes energy and time cannot be done in vain, so the necessary compensation is also indispensable.
After Gargamel sent Wizard Korgan away in person, the three of them got together again in the secret room on the fourth floor of the Wu Tower.
"Teacher, is your body really okay? Do you need to meditate and check yourself quickly..." Meryl still asked with concern.
Greem's hunched body just now suddenly straightened up, and his originally sluggish spirit suddenly became full.
"Master, how did that matter go?" Gargamel obviously participated in this matter, rubbing his hands nervously, staring at a pair of mung bean eyes, and asking in a low voice.
Meryl was confused by the actions of the two, and a pair of beautiful eyes couldn't help rolling around their faces.
Greem didn't answer, just touched his waist lightly with his right hand, turned it over, and a brilliant, crystal clear magic puppet crystal core appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's done... It's done... Sure enough..." Gargamel immediately danced happily, and threw himself in front of Greem, a pair of mouse eyes staring at the puppet crystal nucleus, and the goatee on his jaw pouted. Pouted and trembling non-stop.
It's a pity that women are ten times more sensitive and flexible than men when it comes to shiny gemstones.
Before Gargamel could stretch out his trembling hands, the puppet crystal nucleus had already fallen into Meryl's hands.
While Meryl couldn't put it down, she played with it repeatedly, and at the same time coquettishly yelled at the two of them: "This is what you call an elite elemental puppet? Shouldn't it have been destroyed? Why is it still there? Could it be... Could it be that you just now Are you acting?"
Greem and Gargamel didn't respond, but Qi Qi let out a 'sinister' laugh.
"Teacher, even you were spoiled by the insidious Gargamel. This must be Gargamel's idea... It's really bad enough..." Meryl gave Gargamel a blank look, and continued to play with this precious and unusual 'gem'.
Well…
Gargamel rolled his eyes at Meryl's choking, and almost couldn't help shouting that it was all Greem's idea, and he was just a handler.
It's a pity that his words were suppressed by Greem's dignified stare, and he could only take the 'blame' in silence.
"To be honest, I didn't expect to be able to succeed this time, so I made two-handed preparations. But luckily, I finally made it, and I also cheated that Korgan a little bit." Greem said with emotion. Said: "By the way, this matter is only known to the two of you, and the rest of the members are not allowed to tell..."
"What about Ava?" Grid Mouse rolled its eyes.
It can be seen that this Gargamel is obedient to that forest demon Ava, and looks like a good baby.
Greem hesitated slightly, and could only change his words again: "Only you and Ava know, and nothing else is allowed!"
Then Gargamel bowed down with Meryl.
