Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters were stunned by the magic fire in his hands, Greem quickly walked out of the path, scraped away the soil at the foot of a murderous tree, and used the magic fire to push away the thick roots. Only then did he see the materials that must be harvested today. .
Among the messy roots of the killing tree and the white human bones grow lumpy rhizomes the size of a thumb, some are white, some are red, and some are purple. Greem suppressed the annoyance in his heart, picked 3 purple beads with a pocket knife and carefully put them in his waist pocket, and then quickly stepped back to the path.
There is no way, this is one of the inspection missions that must be completed, otherwise he will not take a step out of the path if he is killed! Even though he moved so quickly just now, the monsters who had just escaped had already gathered again. And where he squatted just now, the parasitic vampire vines on the killing tree had already hung down the vines.
If he moves a little slower, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get away without going through a lot of killing!
Just now he used his elemental vision to directly find the one with mature stems among the many murderous trees, but in normal times, he needs to frequently go in and out of the trails to search continuously to get something. And in that case, his danger will also increase sharply with the number of times he enters and exits.
After walking one or two hundred meters along the gloomy path, he left the living area of the Killing Tree. A terrifying ghostly tree across the gravel path appeared in front of my eyes, and the vines and branches hanging from it were like living things, still wriggling uncontrollably.
Pulling out the witchcraft talisman 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 code was completed, an invisible mysterious power burst out from the black cross-like talisman, and quickly swept every inch of the surrounding space.
An urgent notification sounded quickly in Greem's mind.
"An abnormal fluctuating force field was detected, and the function of the chip was disturbed..."
The sound of the chip became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a loud and harsh noise, and there was no more movement.
But Greem didn't care, and strode forward holding the witchcraft amulet high. As he approached, the vines kept retreating and curling up, finally giving way to a desolate road.
After inspecting the territory of the killing tree and the vampire vine, we will enter the paradise of those baby monsters. For that place, Greem's heart was always full of unconcealable fear.
After passing through the spooky ghost tree, there is a monster living area called Whispering Garden.
Both sides of the trail are almost all barren flowerbeds and abandoned gardens, filled with ashes and endless monsters.
The special climatic environment of the magic swamp makes it a world where baby monsters, banshees, and flower spirits enjoy themselves, gathering a large number of twisted monsters who only know how to satisfy their own appetites. Every living person who breaks into this place will eventually fall under the temptation of their endless malicious infection and illusion, and become the fertilizer of many special plants that like death and resentment.
Crowds of human-mask mushrooms clustered on both sides of the road, holding hands, singing cheerful songs, warmly inviting Greem to join their team. This small thing looks like a small mushroom with arms and legs, and is famous for the markings on the canopy that look like a human face.
Even though these human-mask mushrooms had grown arms and legs, they were not as tall as a human's calf when they stood up, but when they gathered together, dancing and laughing, Greem felt a deep chill pervading his whole body.
"Warning... Warning... It is detected that special force field fluctuations are affecting the main body... Please leave this area in time..."
Greem backed away again and again, and the chill on his body began to slowly subside when he was a little further away from the group of people.
Although these human-mask mushrooms look cute, they are out-and-out carnivorous monsters, and they are so vicious that they won't let go of the souls of their prey. Their bodies are all white mushrooms contaminated with heavy dark elements, and each individual has only a very weak hallucinogenic ability, which is not enough to capture "large" creatures like humans.
But it can't stand that they are social creatures.
Hundreds of human-mask mushrooms gathered together can completely form a mirage-like illusion field, allowing bewildered creatures to be intoxicated in it without knowing it. Therefore, when a group of people ate mushrooms on the victim, the victim was still smiling and immersed in an unknown fantasy space!
For formal wizards, these human-mask mushrooms with only simple hallucinogenic ability are some good witch medicine materials. But for an apprentice wizard like Greem, every time he visited here, he would risk his life being lured and killed by little monsters.
If Greem couldn't bear the illusion field of the human-mask mushroom and was lured into the flower garden, then the human-mask mushrooms could feast on it without violating the contract!
So facing the group of sinister monsters laughing and approaching him, Greem grinned grinningly and took out a boulder the size of an egg from his waist pocket and threw it into their dense team.
The next moment, a light blue lightning flashed, and the five human-mask mushrooms clustered together fell down without a sound. The rest of the human-faced mushrooms that were not affected by the lightning ran away in fright, and hid in the grass, bushes and behind trees in the distance.
Greem walked quickly to the side of the five human-faced mushrooms, stuffed them into his pocket one by one, then picked up the cobblestone and quickly retreated to the gravel path.
This is the lightning stone he bought at a high price from the apprentice Rex. After shaking, it can release a fork-shaped lightning with an energy degree of 5 points around it, which is suitable for dealing with the weak human-mask mushrooms. After all, the Burning Hand he had mastered was really not suitable for arrest, so he had to think of another way.
Those people with face mushrooms were frightened and never dared to show their faces again. But countless Dao Senhan's gazes and chirping whispers were always around Greem, which made him feel horrified.
These human-mask mushrooms are also the materials that must be harvested for each inspection mission, so once Greem completes this mission, he continues to move forward along the narrow path, not daring to stay here any longer.
To be honest, this is also the dangerous area with the highest death rate for wizard apprentices!
After leaving the flower garden where the human face mushrooms were grown, Greem soon came to the area where the baby monsters lived.
Baby monster, this is a small monster with a shriveled body like a human baby, with a strange thing like an umbilical cord dragging behind it. They crawled on the ground, and they crawled very fast, and their voices were even more shrill and piercing.
These baby monsters are not real babies, but a more terrifying monster, born with an instinct similar to "speaking curses". In other words, part of what they say will become reality under the resonance of a strong will. This is simply an unlimited wishing technique.
It's a pity that they are all evil creatures with extremely twisted minds, and their hearts are full of vicious curses and resentment, so don't expect them to send you any good blessings, all you can get is endless abuse and viciousness curse.
When dozens of baby monsters gather together to cast the most vicious curse on a target, even a giant earth storm bear will be infected into soft-legged crabs by layers of maliciousness, and then let them slaughter.
Walking among such a group of lunatics, you really need a super strong and firm heart and will, otherwise you will be ripped apart by them in minutes, and your soul will fall into them, and you will become one of the many confused souls in this whispering garden .
These special types of monsters have their own territories, and they will not easily cross them, otherwise it is not impossible to provoke a war between monsters.
Therefore, when Greem was walking quickly on the narrow path, there were weird and strange noises everywhere in the desolate and desolate garden grass. He didn't dare to stay here, so he could only hold the amulet on his chest firmly with his hand, lower his head and keep walking forward.
Finally, Greem rushed out of the Whispering Garden and turned into another path before the piercing and ear-piercing cries of babies filled his ears.
As a daily task of inspecting apprentices, grasping the movements of monsters near the tower every seven days, and properly harvesting some witchcraft materials, this was almost the entire content of Greem's trip.
And the area he was patrolling now actually still belonged to the inner circle of the magic swamp, and there were very few outsiders who could break into it. After all, the monsters cultivated by wizards are extremely dangerous. Even wizard apprentices wearing witchcraft amulets may not be able to guarantee safety. Those ordinary humans who want to sneak in here to steal wizard resources are risking their lives.
To be honest, such a mortal would have difficulty even passing through the periphery of the magic swamp.
However, as far as Greem knew, at times, the wizard tower would intentionally let go of some peripheral restrictions, and even actively lure some mortals into the depths of the swamp. And at that time, it was usually the carnival time when these inner monsters could have a full meal!
The wizard's tower is a huge ring-shaped tower. The geographical environment around the base is extremely complicated, and the distribution of monsters is even more patchy. Therefore, at least two wizard apprentices are required for each inspection, one forward and one reverse, passing through most of the monster living areas along a fixed route. Starting from the main entrance of the tower, meeting at the back entrance, and completing such a closed circle, their inspection mission is basically completed.
Each inspection mission can bring them 4 knowledge points and some gold coins. Compared with other tasks in the tower, the rewards for knowledge points are already extremely generous. But even so, many wizard apprentices who are eager for knowledge points are still daunted by the inspection mission and avoid it.
Without it, the death rate of patrol missions is definitely the highest among tower missions! none of them.
For this inspection, Greem took the reverse loop, passing through areas such as the Killing Forest, the Human Face Mushroom Farm, and the Whispering Garden. And the other apprentice wizard, Tony, took the main ring, which was not necessarily much safer than his place. After all, those swamp giant crocodiles, old hags, and parasite mothers are not vegetarians!
Especially when harvesting crocodile eggs and cocoons, it is necessary to go deep into their nests, which makes the risk factor of patrol missions soar. So when Greem saw Tony at the back door of the tower, he was very pleased with his luck.
After the two met, they didn't talk too much, and walked into the tower with a slight nod.
Waiting for them here is the apprentice Ankesuo. After delivering the mission items in turn, the two of them will be completely free in the next six days. As for the knowledge points, the apprentice Ankeso also used a special method to record them into their witchcraft amulets.
For the tower apprentices, the witchcraft amulet is actually equivalent to their identity plate.
