Chapter 0391: Forest Demon
The ubiquitous magic also has its own characteristics.
In different regions, completely different forms of magic may appear.
It's not clear what will happen elsewhere, but in this area, magic is gentle and tame.
But no matter how gentle and tame the magic is, it is still extremely dangerous for ordinary people.
Grim's elemental vision clearly shows that there are still many dangers lurking in this magical scene with a gorgeous and strange appearance.
The terrible spotted tarantulas crouch among the colorful wildflowers, and outsiders will be attacked if they don't pay attention to get too close; the green toads are green and huddled in the same turquoise grass, and anyone who steps on them will be sprayed with acid all over their faces; the emerald bamboo snakes wrap their tails around the tall branches, and their bodies hang down, motionless, disguised as harmless rattans......
These dangers are difficult for ordinary people to directly observe with the naked eye, and Grim only noticed their existence by relying on the abnormal gathering of magical power. And Luo Wei and the others were able to survive in such a dangerous magical forest with countless experiences and skills accumulated with their lives.
One by one, the torches were lit, and an indescribably strange smell wafted from them.
Oddly enough, to be honest.
As Lowe opened the way with a torch in one hand and a hatchet in the other, the hidden monsters moved their bodies to make way for them.
For a while, in the grass, in the shrubs, and among the branches, countless bodies were wriggling and curling.
Soon, a 'clean' path appeared in front of them.
"Insect repellent powder!" Gargamel shook a small cloth bag around his waist at Grim with his yellow teeth, and the same strange smell wafted from it.
Grim looked down at his waist, there was also a waist pouch there, which Lowe had specially asked him to wear on the outside of his clothes before leaving, and he didn't expect that it had the ability to drive away small ant-insect monsters.
With them, the team will save a lot of unnecessary trouble!
The team finally began to move slowly through the Black Forest.
That third-order thief Rhodes, who was not very strong, seemed to be extremely relaxed when he arrived here.
With a brief hello to Lowe, he was the first to disappear into the dense forest. And it wasn't until the other party sent back a hidden signal of safety in the distant forest that Luo Wei strode forward with a torch in one hand and a hatchet knife in the other.
Of course, the vines and bushes and thorns that stood in the way would be cut down by him to avoid affecting the actions of the two wizards and apprentices. But even so, in the dense forest of roots and roots, every step forward is a painful ordeal.
Either by thorns hanging from the corners of his clothes, or by being whipped in the face by branches, or by the thick roots of a tree jutting out of the ground...... For some spellcasters who lack exercise, the primeval jungle is simply the best place to torture people.
But wizards and apprentices aren't weak!
The body watered by witch medicine also has a physical quality far beyond ordinary people. Summoning some wind elementals to wrap around their bodies can instantly give them a light spirit body that is not weaker than that of a thief, and the protective force field that lingers outside their bodies can block some sinister and vicious attacks for them.
Anthelmintic drugs are not a panacea.
There are always some strange creatures that can avoid their eyes and ears and sneak close to them before launching a surprise attack.
The archer Fira put away her longbow, held the dagger lightly in both hands, and used her sharp blade to cut the poisonous snakes and vampire leeches that rushed in half. Under her protection, Level 4 Hunter Neil and several apprentices were unscathed.
As for the two wizards, they didn't need her help at all.
The Gargamer, who looks like a bad old man, is a source of toxins soaked in a poison tank, and any alien creature that comes near him will be poisoned in an instant, and then festered into a puddle of sour water.
And Grim, who walked at the end, was even more strange.
His body was covered with a faint layer of bright red light, and any creature that broke into this film would instantly incinerate into ash, leaving only a small pinch of gray powder behind him.
Flame Enchantment!
When several wizard apprentices saw this layer of light, they all silently called out the name in their hearts and cast envious glances.
If they choose to study fire witchcraft, after going through the rigorous study of witchcraft knowledge, it is possible to master this kind of fire enchantment that is both offensive and defensive in as little as three or five years, or as long as ten years. However, this requires them to have an extremely high talent in fire affinity, otherwise they should be mentally prepared to grind on the high-temperature barrier for the rest of their lives!
Sabrina glanced back at Grim's effortless performance, and the sour taste in her heart almost overwhelmed her completely.
Once upon a time, when they were on a mission together in the Dark Crypt, this Grim was just an ordinary apprentice who had just reached the intermediate level. Sabrina's only attention was focused on the more striking Mary.
Who would have thought that in less than ten years, the other party has become a terrifying and formidable wizard. And she is still at the quasi-witch level, and even ...... He is also caught in a family conspiracy that is enough to break his bones.
The world in this is bizarre, and at the same time it is embarrassing, it is even more sour!
Oh God...... What kind of factors made two people with disparity in status completely reversed their fate, identity, and status. Could it be that he is not persistent enough in his pursuit of witchcraft, or is it that fate has played a joke on him?
Sabrina's mind was upset by the boiling mood, and the injuries in her body tightened up again.
Sabrina sighed bitterly, took out a black water bladder from her waist pouch and poured it gently.
She wasn't drinking water, but a sticky, pungent bioactive concoction!
Many of the human organs in her body have been replaced by strange mechanical creations, and now she lacks the mechanical heart to unite them with her original life system, so the conflict between flesh and mechanical sorcery is inevitable.
So every day, she had to drink these foul-smelling 'oils' that act as blending agents to ease the conflicts that were about to erupt in her body.
And this is also one of the pains that apprentices who walk on the path of mechanical wizards must endure!
Finally, after four hours of arduous trekking, the team stopped at the bottom of a low cliff 30 miles deep into the Black Forest and began to prepare for tonight's camp.
Although it was still two hours before dark, it was not easy to find a sheltered area like this. So in order to avoid not being able to find a place to stay temporarily, Lowe asked Grim for instructions and set up camp in advance.
After all, today is the first day of the team's departure, and before everyone gets acquainted with it, there is some room to spare to deal with the common changes in the Black Forest.
I have to say that the abundance of species and the number of terrifying monsters in the Black Forest also opened the eyes of Grim, who was diving into it for the first time!
Whether it's a bouncing white rabbit or a sharp-mouthed guinea pig, it is a favorite small animal for hunters when placed outside the Black Forest. But here, as if someone had cast a berserk spell, they frantically drilled out of a hole in the ground, and launched an attack on the team without hesitation.
Grim had seen with his own eyes that every blow of the tame and cute little white rabbit left a clearly visible claw mark on the surface of the metal round shield of Lovena. And the sharp teeth of big-eared guinea pigs can also crunch Lowe's longsword.
Grim could see clearly, their pupils were blood-red, their spirits were raging and chaotic, and their bodies were boiling with chaotic magical power.
Every now and then, there are also small animals that can unleash strange attacks such as wind blades, fire balls, and earth spear spurs. It can be seen that given them some time, they may be able to grow into demonic creatures with magical powers.
But most of them are afraid that the magic will be disordered, and they will blow themselves up and die!
As you can see from them, the influence of the rich magic that pervades the Black Forest is comprehensive and deep, and it is pervasive!
The entire Black Forest is like a giant sorcery laboratory, and creatures that refuse to be transformed by magic have only a dead end. Only those monsters that have withstood the magic infusion and survived are qualified to survive here.
At this point, the "Species" and "Magical Creature Illustrated Book" stored in the Grim chip need to be updated and corrected a lot. In the Black Forest, almost every moment there are some strange monsters that wizards have never seen before, and they also return to the Black Forest system after endless battles and battles day and night.
Through such a cyclical process, those alienated mutations and unstable factors are digested and absorbed, and only those stable and powerful mutants can be retained and become new species in the Black Forest.
And the cause of all this is the huge Black Forest in front of you, which you will never see through!
While everyone was busy gathering firewood and grass at the bottom of the cliff, setting up tents, searching for water, and hunting, Gargamel pulled Grim to the top of the cliff, took out a magic weapon like a compass, and began to measure it silently.
"The forest demon you mentioned is really around here, it's very close to the edge of the Black Forest, and if it had any wisdom, it shouldn't have chosen such a place as its territory!" Grim asked suspiciously.
Forest Demon.
What kind of intelligent jungle monster is this!
As soon as the doubts in Grim's mind arose, the information stored in the chip flowed into his mind again.
The forest demon, a natural monster, has spiritual intelligence, and is a demonized plant produced after the death of ordinary monsters, after the soul consciousness and natural tree spirit are fused. Its life form is similar to the flower demon Grimm had seen in the Dark Crypt, except that one was a natural creation by chance, and the other was a sorcery creation of an evil wizard.
But the wickedness is the same!
