Shadow Light Squad.

Captain: Quasi-Witch Pontar, male, 37 years old, gifted with affinity for the Dark Element.

There are four members, namely the apprentice Daxo (senior), the apprentice Eco (female, intermediate) of the botanical department, the apprentice Blanco (intermediate) of the transformation department, and the goblin magician Locke (junior).

Originally, with Locke's strength, he was not qualified to enter the Shadow Light Apprentice Squad. However, due to the strong recommendation of the beautiful female apprentice Eco, and the fact that the magician route taken by little Locke does not attach much importance to individual strength, and has strange characteristics that other professions do not have, Pontar allowed him to become a member of the team.

This 5-person team needs a meat shield with a refining apprentice Daxel, a botanical apprentice Eco to heal, and a magician who is good at reconnaissance and trouble. In this way, even if they encounter those powerful monsters, they can calmly deal with them, and give the greatest opportunity to the core of the team, the quasi-witch Pontar.

As for the transformation system, it is a strange advancement direction that has suddenly appeared in the White Tower in the past six months, and most of the knowledge system in it comes from a magical world called Faen. It is said that there is a magical profession called a druid, who is able to converse with animals and plants with his natural affinity.

And that kind of druid, one of the most powerful abilities is to transform into a ferocious monster at will, and then rely on instantaneous racial abilities and powerful bodies to dominate the battlefield.

After the wizards of the Crimson family obtained this knowledge from the Atlas, they transformed it into a new discipline within the family, the Transformation Department.

Wizard apprentices who have mastered the art of transfiguration are able to switch freely between the Hellstorm, the Shadow Cheetah, and the Wind Hawk, thus making their combat methods more diverse and bizarre.

Of course, these three transformations are only the basic subjects that transformation apprentices must master, and if you want to have more and more powerful transformation abilities, you need a large number of points and a large number of magic crystals to exchange knowledge in the family library. Therefore, these days, those oily family missions in the nearby Black Forest have become hot, and they are almost taken over by the battle teams formed by quasi-witches almost as soon as they come out.

As for those lone wolves or helpless guys in the wilderness, they can only pick up some sporadic small tasks that others don't look down on, or simply squat in the witch tower and slowly brush up on their daily routines.

The progress of a wizard's apprentice is almost entirely based on stacks of points and magic crystals.

One step at a time, one step at a time, only by cleaning the laboratory, sorting and processing some witchcraft materials for the official wizards, and acting as the administrator of the witchcraft facilities...... With such a job, it is simply wishful thinking to realize one's own rapid progress.

Therefore, in these days, some of the Crimson apprentices with skills and abilities have all been activated, and they have almost completely cleared the black forest around the White Tower. Naturally, some of the ferocious monsters that inhabited here were unwilling to be expelled, and began to frequently haunt and ambush the crimson apprentices who ran out to do their missions.

Several teams have been ambushed, and there have been casualties among the Crimson Apprentices.

For this reason, the family deliberately sent Master Bilis, the Worm Witch, to the Black Forest and killed eleven lord-level first-order monsters in one go. As a result, the previously arrogant monsters immediately disappeared, and began to show signs of migrating deep into the Black Forest.

However, as a result, the Black Forest immediately dropped several levels in danger, and quickly became the best place for all wizard apprentices to train and explore.

"Blanco, do you want to die?" Pontar reprimanded dissatisfiedly, "Although the lord-level monsters here have all been wiped out by Master Bilis, there are still a large number of wizard-level monsters left. Do you think a team like ours will be able to escape alive when they encounter these guys?"

"Head, we're not that lucky, are we?" Blanco was a sharp-toothed, slick young man, dressed in light leather armor and with two blue lanes under the family crest of his flaming iron fist on his chest. This signified that he had mastered the other two transformation techniques except for the Wind Eagle.

"No one knows if you can carry it or not. But if you're going to run into an enemy, I'll put you in the monster's mouth first......" Pontar threatened viciously, but anyone could hear the teasing tone in his tone.

"Or ...... Let's find a place to rest first!" said the female apprentice Eco softly, "We have been walking in the Black Forest for half a day, and it is time to find a place to rest and tidy up." ”

During this time, the relationship between Eco and Pontar heated up dramatically. For the words of his sweetheart, he naturally obeys everything.

"Little Locke, hurry up and find a clean and safe place nearby. ”

"Got it!"

After receiving the order, the little goblin, who had been staying quietly in the middle of the team, immediately took out the eyeball fighter from his waist bag and threw it into the air.

A metal ball the size of a human head floated gently in mid-air.

Squeak......

As a dull sound of mechanical gear snapping, the mysterious patterns on the surface of the eyeball fighter began to light up little by little, and then a metal secret door opened, revealing a dark red mechanical eyeball inside.

The mechanical eyeball can rotate and probe freely like the human eye, and when the broken ruby in the middle of the eyeball begins to charge, it can shoot a sharp scorching ray, which can be regarded as a good means of attack.

The little goblin took out a strangely shaped metal cap from his bosom and fastened it to his head, and the top of the hat was equipped with a mind wave amplifier, so that even if the eyeball fighter was three or five miles away, it could always control it remotely. The front end of the metal cap is equipped with a monocle goggle full of bizarre sci-fi feeling, which can project everything that the eyeball fighter 'sees' on this small lens, so that the little goblin can always grasp the 'battlefield situation' around the eyeball fighter.

After making all the preparations, with Locke's order, the eyeball fighter roared and rushed into the surrounding jungle. It nimbly and skillfully bypassed the dense foliage and thick branches, dodged the hanging vines, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the Black Forest.

Little Locke held his breath and was engrossed in controlling the eyeball fighter to quickly shuttle through the air in the Black Forest, flying at breakneck speed while quickly scanning the jungle below him.

Soon, little Locke couldn't help but snort softly.

"Found it...... In that direction, 3 miles away...... There is a relatively secluded col with a water source nearby, which is more suitable for camping......"

Pontar nodded in satisfaction.

Although this little goblin is not very good at fighting, his small waist bag is filled with all kinds of strange magic weapons and equipment, all of which have unique special abilities. Overall evaluation, or a good adventure buddy!

"Let's go there and rest for an hour before continuing on our way. Be sure to arrive at the family's camp site No. 3 before dark, and let's go......" Pontar's order caused all the team members to snort softly.

Everyone's pace immediately became as brisk as they are now.

The so-called family camping site is actually a camping camp after Lord Bilis destroyed those lord-level monsters, and their original lair was temporarily converted into a camp. If any of the apprentice squads adventuring in the Black Forest are unable to find a more suitable and safe camp, they can seek temporary refuge in the nearest family camp.

There was a guardian witch array and a clean resting place arranged by the wizard lord, which was far better than sleeping in the open and nibbling on those hard breads every day. However, the most satisfying thing for the apprentices was the safety there.

What could they ask for more in the Black Forest with a campfire, a barbecue or a delicious meal, and a clean and tidy bed in the family campsite!

…………

Deep in the Black Forest.

At the top of a low cliff, a black-robed Biliss stood lonely in the cold wind, letting the cold wind blow the corners of his robe.

As the team of shadow optics in the distance slowly approached the family's camp site No. 3, Billis finally turned around and aimed the four dark green pupils in the shadow of the hood at somewhere in the jungle.

At this moment, within a hundred miles of the entire Black Forest, there are dense eyeworms of his eyes.

Any team of wizard apprentices who infiltrate the Black Forest may seem to be alone, but everything they do is already under the watchful eye of Billis, the Worm Witch.

The family sent Bilis here not only to eliminate those stupid monster lords who had no brains, but to let him secretly 'protect' the follow-up power of these families' new growth.

The apprentice team had normal training and exploration, and Biliss would not rush into it. Even if the team is in distress, as long as the risk is within an acceptable range, he doesn't have to take action at all.

After all, only by hovering in the life and death can the apprentices draw nourishment from it!

However, once the apprentice team encounters an invincible and powerful monster, or has a catastrophe of total annihilation, Bilis, the worm witch, will secretly intervene and use a covert way to turn them around.

Of course, such a thing will never be widely publicized by the family.

Therefore, Billis's task is not only onerous, but also trivial. It's not that he has an ubiquitous eyeworm and an astonishing number of powerful insect troops, and it is difficult for ordinary wizards to be able to handle this kind of 'underground nanny'-style protection task!

Of course, in addition to the protection mission, Biliss the Worm Witch also has the mission of expelling those ferocious and brutal monsters.

And now, with the accidental discovery of an eyeworm in the distance, Billis has found the trace of a humanoid demon scorpion. This kind of monster with a strong Zerg style is actually the guy that Billis is most interested in, and from them, Billis can always extract a lot of evolutionary factors that are helpful to him.

Billis's dark green insect-like compound eyes flickered, and a strange sound of rustling was immediately heard in the dark jungle below the cliff. With a strange swing of the dense leaves of the towering ancient tree, the translucent demonized mantis quickly disappeared into the jungle in front of them.
