Although the central area of the Magic Forest is extremely dangerous, the strange mutated plants that grow here are rare and precious raw materials for the magic envoys.

There's a lot of stuff here that isn't available anywhere else.

"Your talent is not very good, and if you don't put more effort into other places, you will be just an ordinary magician by death. ”

Although reluctant, Marisa was forced to come to this place by the succubus.

However, this place is still as annoying as ever!

I've tried to be here with Alice before, but I certainly haven't been as far as this now.

As for being alone, Marisa doesn't have that much guts for the time being.

"Alas......"

Originally, it was unbearable to come to this kind of ghost place, but she had to carry a big basket on her back, which was filled with all kinds of strange things that the succubus had collected here, most of which she didn't know at all.

"Don't sigh all day long at a young age, you have to look at everything. ”

Seeing her like this, the succubus criticized.

"I know!"

Marisa also felt that this was not going to work, and began to find a way to divert her attention.

"By the way, succubus-sama, why did you suddenly run back from the Demon Realm? ”

Although the succubus said that she would come back because she missed herself, Marisa would not believe her nonsense. As her descendant disciple, she knows exactly what her master's virtue is.

"Well...... Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Actually, the reason why I came back was because I got into some minor trouble. ”

"Oh. ”

Sure enough, Marisa couldn't help but mutter.

"Once, I heard a rumor that there was a big ship full of treasures hidden somewhere in the Demon Realm, so I wanted to check it out! The treasure was not seen, but the group of guys locked inside took the opportunity to escape. ”

Although she accidentally broke the seal, it was really not her fault, and the only blame was that the seal was too fragile.

The blame is not on her at all.

"Huh?"

Marisa squinted at her master, she didn't think it was that simple.

"What kind of eyes are you, do you think I'm cheating on you?"

Unexpectedly, even his own apprentice didn't trust him, and the succubus suddenly became a little annoyed.

"I don't dare. ”

I just don't dare, I don't really believe it.

"Really, I wouldn't have told you if I had known, it's a waste of tongue. ”

The succubus muttered and ran to the front.

"Ah, find something good. ”

Marisa swept her eyes and saw the green plants growing under a large tree, and was so surprised that she ran over and pulled it out of the ground.

The leaves are broad, the tubers look like those of a man, and the limbs are its four roots, and at its head, there are three holes, like a man's mouth and eyes.

"Squeak......

After being pulled out, the strange-looking plant suddenly let out an ear-piercing scream that even metal could penetrate.

Marisa's movements froze.

In a flash of cold light, a knife that was still dripping with blood flew over and stuck it into the humanoid plant, and the screams suddenly stopped.

"You idiot, why don't you pull out the mandrake without any preparation. ”

The succubus ran back and snatched the strange grass away.

"Ah......h

Marisa looked like she was drunk, her body swaying, her eyes still spinning, and she couldn't answer her words.

It took a long time for her to finally come to her senses.

"Whew, that's uncomfortable. ”

Marisa clutched her head in pain, and the screams seemed to linger in her mind!

"Really, why are you still so careless?"

The succubus threw the mandrake into Marisa's basket and cursed angrily.

"I'm sorry. ”

"The Forest of Magic is full of dangers, and if you always break in so lightly, you will be eaten by her sooner or later. ”

"Are you kidding you, succubus-sama?"

Marisa thinks she must be scaring herself, how can the forest eat people!

"What are you laughing at? You half-magician hasn't even realized how terrible it is!"

The longer you stay here, the more you realize how terrifying this mundane-looking forest really is.

"I ask you, what's the most dangerous thing in the Forest of Magic?"

"Those ferocious beasts that attack people. ”

"Wrong. ”

"Plants that eat people?"

"Not true. ”

"What the hell is that?"

Marisa didn't understand, but of all the things she'd encountered, these two were the hardest to deal with.

"Let me sue you, my stupid apprentice. ”

The succubus shook his head and said.

"The most dangerous thing in the Forest of Magic is not the beasts or mutated man-eating plants, but the ground beneath your feet. ”

"What?"

Marisa looked down at the ground and stepped on it a few more times, unable to imagine the danger of the black dirt covered in fallen leaves.

"Ignorance is a kind of happiness!"

With a slight sigh, the succubus continued.

"Did you know that there are several places in the Magical Forest that are relatively low. When it rains, the rain collects into these depressions, and if it rains too much, it can even form a small lake. ”

"Oh, is that so?"

I've never seen it, but Marisa thinks that even if it does become like that, it shouldn't be a big deal!

"You see, this is a forest! The ground is full of fallen leaves and rotten plants, which, once soaked in the water for too long, will gradually dissolve and eventually become something like mud. Year after year of transformation accumulates, and it becomes a forest swamp. On the surface, they look the same as other places, but as soon as you stand on it, hum, it won't take a few minutes for your whole body to fall into it, and be eaten by this jungle trap, and you won't even be able to find the corpse. ”

"Yes, is it that scary?"

Marisa is stuttering a little, which is too frightening!

"I've seen this with my own eyes, how can it be fake!"

The succubus slapped her and said.

"Still, if that's it, this trap isn't terrifying, after all, we all fly. ”

"yes, yes, as long as we fly right away, won't it be fine?"

Marisa's head immediately nodded like a chicken eating rice.

"To your size, superficial fellow. ”

The force of this palm was a little stronger than the previous one, and Marisa's head was a little dazed.

"The danger of those swamps is not just for people to sink into, there are some large swamps, and there are several terrible things living under them!"

"Terrible, thing?"

Marisa swallowed her saliva and stared intently at the succubus for her to continue.

"Yes, there are some of them that are quite large, and they will drag people or other animals trapped in the swamp down and eat them again. As for those who are small, they are even more terrifying. Although they can't drag people because of their small strength, they are very numerous. Once you're stuck in the swamp, they'll come up in droves and gather on your belly. ”

"Why the belly?"

"Needless to say, of course, it's because it's the softest place in the human body. ”

The succubus looked at her stomach and smiled.

"Those things will crawl into your clothes, bite a big hole in your belly, and then burrow all of them into it, eat all your intestines, heart and liver, and finally ...... again."

"Hey, succubus-sama, please don't say any more. ”

Marisa covered her stomach with her hands, her face pale.

"Oh. ”

The succubus bar clicked his mouth, feeling a little uneasy.

It's a shame that I just talked about the wonderful place!

"Got it, don't you remember to be more mindful in whatever you do. ”

"I—I see. ”

Marisa nodded vigorously, and it looked like she would have to bring someone else with her when she went to collect mushrooms in the future.

"It's good to know, otherwise, if you're in danger here, you'll have to shout for help. ”

"Help!"

"You see, it's like this. ”

After the succubus finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Succubus-sama, it seems to be ...... just now"

It seems that there are more than just the two of them in this place!

"Help!"

The cries for help rang out again, and both the succubus and Marisa looked in the direction from which the voice came from.

"There's a hapless ghost in danger!"

The succubus smiled, rather gloating.

"Marisa, let's go, let's take a look. ”

If it's someone you know, save her, and if you don't know someone, you can talk about it depending on your mood.

"Succubus-sama, wait for me!"

Marisa shook the basket behind her and hurried after her.

"Help......

Sara felt that she was really going to die, now only her head and hands were still exposed, and the rest of her body had sunk to the bottom of the mud.

"Goodbye, Mistress Shenqi, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you find Miss Alice in the end. ”

With deep regret, she gave up calling for help and closed her eyes.

"Sarah, grab it. ”

Who is it?

The voice was somewhat familiar, as if it had been heard somewhere.

When Sara opened her eyes, she saw an extra stick with a crescent moon on one end in front of her.

Without thinking too much about it, her instinct to survive caused her to grab on to this thing immediately.

"One, two, three, force. ”

A huge force passed through the stick to her hand, and Sara only felt that her body was light, and her whole body was already in mid-air.
