Chapter 124: Magnetic Ants
The secret map of the sheepskin was found by Arus next to a skeleton, and the unlucky guy should also be a wizard apprentice who entered the secret trial, I don't know how long he died, and even the witch robe on his body has been corroded by time like a fishing net, but this special sheepskin is still magically preserved.
However, Arus's luck was only slightly better than that of the unlucky one, and the process of obtaining the secret map was seen by a wizard apprentice in the city of fire. Although that guy didn't dare to provoke Arus, it didn't mean that he wouldn't have a big mouth, so there was a plot where Helana forced Arus and Rum rushed to share the soup.
However, Mei Lin's appearance led to a big change in the plot, and the strange disappearance of the parchment scroll made the three of them unwilling, but they couldn't do it. Although Merlin's suspicion is very high, unless she and Arus colluded in advance, the possibility of falling into her hands is almost non-existent.
Of course, whether it was to vent their anger or out of suspicion, they would definitely not let Merlin go easily when they met her again.
Merlin didn't know what these three people were planning...... In fact, even if Merlin knew, she wouldn't take this little thing to heart. Because she did the thing, she was mentally prepared to bear the consequences.
By the time Arus threw the parchment rolls over, Merlin had already thought of a countermeasure...... Now that she has the opportunity, she won't miss it. But if he catches it rashly, not only will he succeed in Arus's plan to take the blame, but he will also face the attacks of Helana and Rum, and maybe Arus will also take the opportunity to step on it, so Merlin immediately ordered the Phantom Pine Cat and the Sky Phantom Snake hidden in the bushes behind her to wait where the parchment was about to land, and then she kicked the parchment roll away in time.
At the speed of the Phantom Pine Cat and the Sky Vision Snake. Even if you go around in a circle, you can get there quickly. The Celestial Phantom Serpent is in charge of the parchment rolls, while the Phantom Pine Cat is in charge of luring Helana and the others away. After a big circle, I finally met Merlin.
Three days later, Merlin made her way through a jungle and came to a massive cliff...... There is a crack in this cliff that reaches to the top of the cliff. The crack is odd, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, all the way to the ground.
The crack is very narrow, less than five meters to Merlin's body shape. It's not a problem to walk through. Speaking of which, this secret realm is truly a pharmacist's paradise, and for Merlin, who is accustomed to carrying alchemy tools with her, it is a natural laboratory...... It's just that there are a few more uncertain insecurity factors, and there are a few times when Merlin almost encounters with a wizard apprentice who has entered her guard area, all of which have been avoided with the help of the special abilities of the Celestial Phantom Serpent.
Merlin wasn't afraid of them, but worried that the needless battle would affect the purpose of her trip...... Compared to the goal of this trip, the net worth of those apprentices and the gains in this secret realm are simply not worth mentioning.
Right now. Merlin's location was the entrance to the ruins marked by the secret map of the sheepskin.
In fact, the owner of the sheepskin had not been able to complete any of the explorations, and his companions had already been killed or injured in the exploration. He was the only one left to return the way he came, with serious injuries. It's just that his injuries are too heavy to leave, so he left that secret map. And his expectation is that if the person who gets the secret map succeeds in his exploration, at the right time. Help his family survive a crisis.
On the map, the apprentice wizard marked the entrance to the ruins and the dangers within. And some of his recommendations. Mei Lin only came here today, in fact, to prepare.
The huge crack in front of me was the entrance to the ruins, and it was also the first danger.
The inner stone of this cliff is filled with a radioactive energy. In this energy environment, a very special kind of creature is bred - the magneto-shooting ant.
This ant has a strong upper and lower bite ability, even steel can bite through, and it is also able to release radiotoxins...... The most terrifying thing is that there are hundreds of thousands of magnetic ants living here, and once surrounded by them, it is definitely not easy to get out.
Despite all her preparations, Merlin hesitated as she stood at the entrance to the rift...... But she only hesitated for four or five seconds before she was ready to go inside.
Entering the crack, the inside suddenly opens up. This is a big canyon, but the entrance is narrower.
According to the map, because those magnetic ants are very dependent on this living environment, they basically will not leave, otherwise once they breed in the jungle outside, it will be a disaster.
Merlin took out a potion and drank it, and after a while, a faint gray-white mist emanated from every pore on her body...... Soon, Merlin's whole body was enveloped in this gray-white mist, and the wonderful thing was that this mist did not dissipate, as if it was stuck to Merlin's body.
This is the kind of way to deal with magnetic ants, and after smelling this fog, those magnetic ants will instinctively avoid it.
The gray-white granite rocks, the strange rocks are craggy, and everywhere you see in the canyon, there is a dead silence, and you can't feel any life. Merlin's face became solemn and she moved forward cautiously.
On her shoulder, the night falcon looked around vigilantly, and in the leather bag around Merlin's waist, a snake head and a cat's head both poked out amusefully, looking left and right.
Rustle rustle......
A slight sound came from a distance, and after the Phantom Pine Cat issued a warning, it immediately hid in the leather sac, and did not show its head again, and the Sky Vision Phantom Snake also shrank in, Merlin directly raised her hand and stuffed the night falcon into the leather sac, so as not to get in the way outside.
The rustling was getting closer, and before long, Merlin had already encountered them...... This was Merlin's first encounter with such a creature.
The volume of magnetic ants is much larger than that of ordinary ants, and each foot has the length of a palm and is an inch tall. The surface of the body is grayish-white, and if they don't move, lying there can easily be ignored.
One step, two steps...... As the two sides approached, Merlin became more and more nervous, although according to the principle, the potion she used was effective, but who knows what the truth will be?
Merlin had already pulled out the ice and snow and sighed, and if the situation was not right, she would immediately urge it.
Sand~
At the moment when the dense army of magnetized ants came into contact with the fog around Mei Lin, the ant army suddenly diverged, bypassing Mei Lin and heading to both sides, looking like they were afraid of her.
