When Maka waved the staff again, a violent whirlwind suddenly arose in front of him, sweeping up the green miasma that spread in front and blowing it into the distance.
But this is just a temporary solution. As long as the dark green vines on the ground are still there, the poisonous mist will continue to generate, and I am afraid it will soon cover this area again.
Although he didn't know what kind of poison it was, Maka knew that if he continued to move forward, sooner or later he would understand it through his own personal experience.
"Lark?"
Maka only shouted forward and received a response quickly. But he saw that the space around him suddenly distorted, and Lao Lak immediately appeared in his sight.
"Young wizard," Lao Lak said happily, "was that gust of wind just now your magic? The elf thanks you for your help!"
"How about it, do you still want to move forward?"
Maka asked, casually holding out her staff. An invisible sharp blade shot out of the air and cut off the vines drawn towards them. From the looks of it, it seemed to be a silent Divine Edge Shadowless Curse.
This spell can be used to deal with the regeneration ability of vines, and it is obviously more appropriate to use it at this time.
"Of course, the elf can handle the current difficulties." Lao Lak nodded decisively and said, "This unknown plant is constantly absorbing the magic power on the island. If it is not removed in time, It will bring disaster and desolation to the magical creatures on the island."
Maka could also sense what Lao Lak said, but he felt that if that thing was allowed to continue to be swallowed here for a few years, it might really affect the environment here.
But that will take several years.
The ancient magic triggered at the previous shrine added a lot of vitality to the island, and even the magic on the island became much stronger.
And after the magic was activated, the unknown thing immediately appeared on its own. No matter how you think about it, there should be some connection between the two.
It's just that why they are related... or in other words, what is the intention of such setting, this is the reason worth exploring in the past.
When Maka thought about it, she couldn't help but speculate - maybe although these elves can sense the existence of magic, the intensity of this kind of sensing ability is not as high as her own.
"Well..." Maka pondered for a moment, then continued, "Although I think you can still handle it, since I'm here, let's go and see it together... But I have to remind you first!"
He paused for a moment, then cut off another vine, and then continued: "I just observed it again on the tower... These vines are so widely distributed, they should be very big. Maybe that thing is still It's underground! Or... only a small part came out... "
"... You tell your people to be more careful where they step, so they don't get attacked accidentally!"
When Lao Lak heard this, he rubbed his big gray ears with his dry fingers, as if he was thinking about the possibility of this. After all, no matter what you are going to face in a while, it is always good to be more prepared.
The intelligence of elves is no less than that of humans, so as long as there are differences in concepts, there will always be some common points in communication.
"It is indeed very possible," he nodded, "Old Lak will go and notify the tribe immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, he signaled to Maka and disappeared again.
While Maka was talking to Lark, the elves continued to move forward. Their magic interests Maka very much. Although it is difficult to study, the value of research is definitely quite high.
Not to mention their combat magic, the household magic they like is quite practical. Whether it's cleaning or tidying up, their magic is richer and more convenient than that of wizards.
Of course, the most noteworthy magic among the elves is the food magic related to cooking. Even Helga Hufflepuff, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, the witch famous for her food spells, often referred to the magic of house elves when creating spells. .
And now, those house elves who are responsible for all meals and meals at Hogwarts are also those who work diligently in the kitchen.
"Okay! Hermione must say it at this time," Maka shrugged and muttered softly, "'That can't be called work! They don't get paid!'"
It is not that difficult to change the life concepts of those house elves.
Maka now wants to bring these elves back to the secret island. Although she also has the intention of helping Hermione realize her wish, the effect it can have is probably very limited.
"... Let's just try this!"
Maka was thinking as she followed the elves. The staff in his hand never stopped waving, but it could be seen that the magic he cast was only limited to one click.
The most important thing now is to reach the location of the main body. It is enough to block those vines and poisonous gas. There is no need to put in more effort. He usually pays attention to saving magic power now and will not spend too much on small things.
But with his joining, the speed of advancement has obviously increased. Soon, with a slight commotion from the elf in front, Maka knew that she had arrived.
In this area, the spiked vines waving in the air are quite dense, and the staggered poisonous vines on the ground almost completely cover the ground. If we don’t clear the road as we move forward, we won’t be able to move forward in a down-to-earth manner.
Seeing that the front had stopped, Maka simply threw out the magic book, stepped on it and passed over the heads of the elves, and arrived at the front in the blink of an eye.
While frequently fending off the surrounding vines, he saw a scene as if he had entered a spider's nest.
Countless vines intertwined vertically and horizontally, forming an entire dragnet in front of them. Those vines were entangled and clinging between the trees, and together with the dense canopy, they blocked the light so tightly that not even a trace could penetrate.
No wonder the main body cannot be found on the tower. Maybe it is still in the soil, but the more important factor is that the vines and trees are all mixed into one. Not to mention that you can't tell them apart from a distance, even if you look up close, you can't tell them apart at all.
Maka moved forward and casually released a Divine Edge Shadowless Curse, but after the sharp magic blade cut off some vines, it was submerged in the sea of green shade and disappeared without a trace.
Then, as the vines meandered and squirmed, new ones immediately replaced the severed ones, as if such a spell had no effect on them at all.
The most effective way to deal with plants is naturally flame. But whether it is ordinary flames or magic flames with various effects, they cannot be used easily here.
All flames have the property of spreading. If this place is set on fire, the dense and deep island jungle will really suffer.
However, although setting fire to the forest cannot be done, it is still possible to light a fire to scare them.
In the magic world, the reason why some magic plants move is mostly to allow them to actively get closer to nutrients or stay away from harm. Just as a devil's net avoids light and warmth, they should similarly avoid something threatening.
To be on the safe side, Maka took out the Lihuo Bottle, which he had not actually used for a long time, and used a floating spell to get some out and let it float in front of him.
With a slight shake, a bright blue flame suddenly gave off a dazzling light. If you squint your eyes and observe, you can find that those blue flames are in a viscous form that is close to semi-fluid.
Although today's Lihuo Bottle has been greatly enhanced, its special effect of 'only burning with magic power' remains unchanged. If it accidentally ignites in the jungle, at least the fire won't become too exaggerated.
However, there are so many magical species on the island. If they really get caught here, it will definitely be quite bad.
As expected by Maka, when a terrifying flame floated in front of him, the spiked vines that were waving around him immediately moved away from his position.
It is conceivable that if this kind of flame really exists in the magic world and is not something prepared by Maca, it will definitely be the natural enemy of a large number of magic plants.
"Choose a small group of tribesmen to follow me in. I can't bring out this flame too much," Maka turned back and explained to Lao Lark, "otherwise, if something is ignited, then this island will really have to face you. of 'catastrophe and desolation'."
The old elf stared at the dazzling flames, quite frightened.
"Wizard...can you put away that fire? It looks much scarier than the monster in front..."
"Don't worry, if it's just this, I can still control it." Maka smiled easily and said, "Hurry up and choose the people!"
Under Maka's urging, Lao Lak hesitated for a few moments before turning back to greet the tribesmen. It didn't take long for a team of seven, including Lao Lak and Maca, to become the pioneers exploring the final area.
Bright blue flames flowed slightly in front of Maka, protecting them from being attacked by the vines. As they continued to move forward, the densely intertwined green sea in front of them avoided their small group, and then quickly entangled and closed again wherever they passed.
Just a few seconds passed, and no trace of the originally dazzling light was left.
The elves who stayed in place to defend their retreat gathered together, taking turns to deal with the spiked vines coming towards them, and at the same time, they were always ready to receive the members of the vanguard team when they returned.
Time is still tight, because the green miasma in this area has become increasingly intense.
