Chapter 0004: Whispering Garden

Taking advantage of the fact that the monsters were shocked by the magic fire in their hands, Grim walked out of the path quickly, picked up the dirt at the foot of a murderous tree, and forced the thick roots with the magic fire, only then did he see the materials that had to be harvested today.

Among the unkempt roots of the killing tree and the white-flowered human skeleton grew thumb-sized tubular rhizomes, some white, some red, some purple. Grim endured the disgust in his heart, picked 3 purple beads with a pocket knife and carefully put them into his waist bag, and then quickly retreated to the path.

No way, this is one of the things that must be completed in the patrol mission, otherwise he won't even want to take a step out of the path to kill him! Even if he moved so quickly just now, the monsters that had just escaped had already gathered again. And where he had just squatted, the parasitic vampire vines on the killing tree had also drooped down.

If he moves a little slower, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out without experiencing a killing!

Just now, he used his elemental vision to find the one with mature stems among the many killing trees, but in normal times, he needs to go in and out of the trail frequently to search for something. And then, his danger will increase dramatically with the number of times he enters and exits.

After walking one or two hundred meters along the gloomy path, I left the living area of the Killing Tree. A terrifying ghost tree across the gravel path appeared in front of me, and the vine branches hanging from it were like living creatures, still wriggling and moving.

Pulling the sorcery talisman from his neck, Grim whispered the secret words of magic that every wizard apprentice must master.

"Muhantolia Sinro. ”

When the magic whisper was completed, an invisible and substantial mysterious power burst out from the black cross-like amulet, quickly sweeping every inch of space around it.

An urgent beep quickly sounded in Grim's head.

"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 it simply became a noisy and piercing noise, and there was no more movement.

But Grim didn't care, and strode forward with the sorcery amulet held alof. As he approached, the rattans retreated and curled up, eventually giving way to a barren and desolate path.

After patrolling the territory of the Killer Tree and the Vampire Vine, it's time to enter the paradise of the baby monsters. For there, Grim's heart was always full of unconcealable fear.

After passing through the eerie ghost tree, there is a monster living area called the Whispering Garden.

The path is flanked almost entirely by large and small barren flower beds and abandoned gardens, filled with gray and endless monsters.

The special climate of the Enchanted Swamp has made it a place where baby monsters, banshees, and flower spirits can enjoy themselves, gathering a large number of twisted monsters who only know how to satisfy their appetites. Every living person who intrudes here will eventually fall under their endless malicious infestation and illusion temptation, and become the fertilizer of many special plants that love death and resentment.

Crowds of human-faced mushrooms lined the road, holding hands, singing cheerful songs, warmly inviting Grim to join them. This little thing looks like a small mushroom with legs and hands, and is famous for the markings on the canopy that resemble a human face.

Although these mushrooms were not as tall as their calves when they stood up, even if they had hands and feet, when they came together to jump and laugh, Grim felt a deep chill permeate his body.

"Warning...... Warn...... It is observed that special force field fluctuations are affecting the subject...... Please leave the area in a timely manner......"

Grim stepped back again and again, and only when he was a little farther away from the group of human mushrooms did the chill on his body begin to slowly subside.

Although these mushrooms look cute, they are authentic carnivorous monsters, and they are so ferocious that they refuse to let go of the souls of their prey. They are all white mushrooms contaminated with heavy dark elements, and each individual has only a very weak hallucinogenic ability, which is simply not enough to capture "large" creatures like humans.

But they can't stand it, they're social creatures.

Hundreds of human-faced mushrooms can form a mirage-like illusion realm, allowing bewitched creatures to indulge without realizing it. Therefore, when a group of human mushrooms pounce on the victim and feast on it, the victim is still smiling and immersed in some unknown fantasy space!

For formal wizards, these facial mushrooms, which only have simple hallucinogenic abilities, are some good potion ingredients. But for a wizard apprentice like Grimm, every time he visits this place, he risks his life being booby-trapped by the little monsters.

If Grim can't withstand the illusion realm of the Human-faced Mushroom and is lured into the flowerbed, then the Human-faced Mushrooms can feast on it without violating the contract!

So, in the face of the sinister monsters that were laughing and coming to him, Grim smirked and pulled an egg-sized cobblestone from his waist pouch and threw it into their dense ranks.

The next moment, a light blue lightning flashed, and the five human face mushrooms clustered together fell down without a sound. The rest of the mushrooms, which were not touched by the lightning, scattered in all directions, hiding in the grass, bushes, and behind trees in the distance.

Grim walked briskly over to the five mushrooms, tucked them into his waist one by one, and then picked up the cobblestone and quickly retreated to the gravel path.

This is the thunder stone he bought at a high price from his apprentice Rex, and when it is shaken, it can release forked lightning with an energy power of 5 points in the surrounding area, which is suitable for dealing with human face mushrooms with weak vitality. After all, the flaming hand he mastered was really not suitable for capture, so he had to think of another way.

The mushrooms were frightened and never dared to show their faces again. However, countless Dawson's cold gazes and chattering whispers were always around Grim, which made him feel creepy.

These mushrooms are also the materials that must be harvested for each patrol mission, so as soon as Grim completes this task, he continues to sprint forward along the sheep intestine path, and does not dare to stay here for long.

Truth be told, it's also the danger zone with the highest mortality rate for wizard apprentices!

Leaving the flower garden where the mushrooms were grown, Grim soon returned to the area where the baby monsters lived.

The baby monster is a small monster with a withered and shriveled body like a human baby, and a strange thing that resembles an umbilical cord dragged behind it. They crawl on the ground, crawl fast, and speak in a high-pitched and piercing voice.

These baby monsters are not real babies, but rather a more terrifying kind of monster with an innate instinct similar to "incantation". In other words, some of what they say will become reality with the resonance of a strong will. It's simply an infinite prayer.

It's a pity that they are all evil creatures with extremely twisted hearts, and their hearts are full of vicious curses and resentments, so don't expect them to send you any good wishes, all you can get is endless abuse and vicious curses.

When dozens of baby monsters come together and unleash the most vicious curse on a target, even an Earth Storm Bear will be infested with layers of malice and become a soft-footed crab, which will then be left to their slaughter.

Walking in the midst of such a group of crazy people, you really need a super strong and firm heart and will, otherwise you will be peeled off by them in minutes, and your soul will fall into them, becoming one of the many confused souls in this whispering garden.

These special kinds of monsters have their own territory, and they will not be easily overcome, otherwise it is not impossible to provoke a war between monsters and monsters.

Therefore, when Grim walked briskly on the sheep intestine path, the surrounding barren and desolate garden grass was full of strange noises of sighing and sighing. He didn't dare to stay here, so he could only firmly grasp the talisman on his chest with his hand, and hurried forward with his head down.

Finally, before the shrill cry of a baby filled his ears, Grim had rushed out of the Garden of Whispers and onto another path.

As a daily task of patrolling apprentices, every 7 days to grasp the movement of monsters near the tower, and properly harvest some witch potion materials, this is almost the whole content of Grim's trip.

And the area he was patrolling now was actually still within the inner perimeter 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 talismans may not be able to guarantee safety, and those ordinary humans who want to sneak in here to steal wizard resources are even more likely to risk their lives for luck.

Truth be told, it would be difficult for such mortals to pass even the periphery of the magic swamp.

However, as far as Grim knows, in some cases, the Wizard Tower will also deliberately release some peripheral prohibitions, and even actively lure some mortals into the depths of the swamp. And at that time, it is usually the time of carnival when these inner monsters can have a full meal!

The Wizard Tower is a huge ring-shaped tower, and the geographical environment around the base is extremely complex, and the distribution of monsters is even more staggered. Therefore, each tour requires at least two wizard apprentices, one in one direction and one in reverse, following a fixed route through most of the monsters' living quarters. Starting from the main entrance of the tower, converging at the back door, and completing such a closed circle, their patrol mission is almost complete.

Each patrol mission can bring them 4 knowledge points and a number of gold coins. Compared to other tasks in the tower, the rewards of knowledge points are already extremely generous. But even so, many wizard apprentices who are eager for knowledge are still shy away from patrol tasks.

Without it, the death rate of the patrol mission is definitely the highest among the tower missions!

On this patrol, Grim walked in the reverse loop, and needed to pass through areas such as the Murder Forest, the Human-Face Mushroom Farm, and the Whispering Garden. And Tony, another wizard's apprentice, walked in a positive ring, and it wasn't necessarily much safer than he was here. After all, those swamp giant crocodiles, old ghost women, and parasite mothers are not vegetarians!

Especially when harvesting crocodile eggs and insect cocoons, you need to go deep into their nests, which makes the danger of patrol missions skyrocket. So when Grim saw Tony at the back door of the tower, he was also very happy for the other party's luck.

The two didn't talk much after they met, and walked into the tower with a faint nod.

Waiting for them here was the apprentice Ankeso, and after handing over the mission items in turn, the two of them would be completely free for the next six days. As for the knowledge points, the apprentice Chang An Kesuo also used a special method to record the witchcraft talisman of the two.

For the Tower Apprentices, the Sorcery Amulet is the equivalent of their status plate.
