The moss, algae, and the glimmer of light from the reed-like plants of the underworld give a rough view of the puddles scattered around it.
And as we go deeper, some paths that seem to have been trampled for a long time can occasionally be seen and borrowed.
Curious, or so bold as to have no heart or lungs, the Phantom Butterfly Himima, who was young, was quite bold, and after Raymond lifted the barrier and released it, he immediately pounced on the puddle not far away, and after a while, he returned to Raymond with his hands folded and showed him a water soul he had captured.
"Look, look! how strong this water soul is! it will definitely be able to defeat other water spirits and become the master of the enchantment......"
Only half the size of a fist, its body was almost transparent, its slender tail curled up at its side, and its body trembled slightly.
Perception is unable to detect its existence, but when you get closer, you can still see with the naked eye that a liquid-like substance is slowly flowing in its body, but this water soul, which has neither facial features nor limbs, looks like a slightly thicker duckweed.
Jima, who was holding the water soul in both hands, had undisguised excitement and excitement in her expression, but Raymond couldn't see the difference between this water soul and the rest of the water souls gathered again in the puddle.
"Do you see it?
It's just that Hima took it for granted that he was observing and comparing, so after Raymond's gaze was withdrawn, he asked a little eagerly.
Raymond, who shook his head, raised his hand and was about to touch it, but the startled Hima suddenly regressed. Put your hands together at once. "You can't touch it, you can't touch it, if you touch it, it's going to die!"
"Why?"
"It's the weakest water soul, and only we Phantom Butterflies can grab them without damaging them!"
Jima's cheeks bulged as he spoke, and the vigilance between his expressions made Raymond really speechless. It seems that this water soul's status is obviously higher than him now, which makes him a little unhappy.
Seeing that Raymond didn't continue to get closer, the unconscious Hima raised his hands to his eyes and cautiously muttered to the water soul in his palm. "I'll take good care of you, and I'll be sure to stick to it until I return to the village to feed you the seed of the Secret Letter......"
Shaking his head, Raymond decided not to dwell on this, and after snorting to signal it to follow, he began to move forward slowly.
This wetland. Perhaps because of the mixed energy of the water system, the scope of Raymond's perception was greatly reduced.
And a lowly underworld creature like the Water Soul could only be seen with the help of the pale green crystal given by the Sirens when he got close.
And because there was a reminder from Hima before. It also made him know that there are quite powerful evil spirits here, so he can slow down and be able to react in advance when something unexpected happens.
An evil creature notorious in the underworld, the evil spirit is definitely the backbone of the chaotic evil camp, with its strange and bizarre attacks and invisible ways of existing. They are all deeply feared.
So for Raymond. Now that he has retracted his aura and cut himself off from the outside world, this creature, which is likely to survive only on its instincts, is particularly fond of attacking him, especially when he is with a phantom butterfly, and it is clear that he belongs to the weaker side.
This is a bad feeling, but if he doesn't want to attract the swarm of creatures from the underworld, Raymond will have to admit and accept this reality.
And Himma, who has two pairs of colorful wings, naturally won't understand such a truth. It just held the water soul and followed behind Raymond, turning Raymond into a pathfinder and a flesh-and-shield being.
The low-level water soul naturally did not dare to take any action against Raymond. But the slightly stronger dark plants will cause him trouble anytime and anywhere.
Rooted in those puddles like aquatic weeds, Raymond is an aggressive underworld plant known as the Pear Capsule that grows around its tough stems sticking out of the water if he is not looking.
The purple blood orchid that grows next to the puddle will spit out an extremely sticky acidic poisonous mist when he approaches, causing its barrier to be dyed brown in an instant.
And those water spirits lurking in the puddle will shoot out a puff of inky mist, and the powerful power contained in it can even shake Raymond's direction of travel, guiding him to be besieged by more water spirits.
Although all the encounters were just troubles, Raymond, who had encountered dozens of attacks in just half a day, was naturally getting more and more angry.
It's just that because of the taboo of not being able to release his own breath, he has to release invisible fires from time to time to incinerate these annoying underworld creatures into ashes.
The Phantom Butterfly Himima, who followed behind him, would initially chuckle when he was attacked, but as his face became darker and darker, Himima, who was clasping her hands, didn't dare to make a sound again.
It's just that the smile on the corner of his lips has not faded from beginning to end.
The invisible fire, which has a miraculous effect on middle and low-level underworld creatures, will incinerate a large area of underworld plants in front of it with Raymond's control after being released, but even if the mana consumption is extremely low, the frequent release still makes Raymond a little tired.
And just when he noticed that the concentration of water energy in the environment began to increase, a cold wind blowing from his side in vain caught his attention.
Along the way, there was no wind in this wetland, and after the cold wind was detected by him, the plants in the underworld in his field of vision did not move.
Suddenly a stirring spirit in his heart immediately stopped, but at such an instant, the wetland that originally had a glimmer of light fell into absolute darkness in vain.
The first thought that arose in his mind was that he had encountered a relatively powerful underworld creature, so when his right hand was raised, the invisible fire released from his fingertips surrounded it in the shape of an umbrella, spreading out in all directions.
The invisible fire that should have been able to burn a qiē was dimmed in vain a few meters away from him, and then it was strangely extinguished, causing the invisible fire to spread outward in a circle, so that a gap appeared.
Turning around to face the gap, Raymond was red, and the red light in his eyes was full, and the perception condensed and compressed by it began to explore the gap.
However, in his perceptual probe, or in the pale green crystal that Guò saw, there was no difference from before, and it should be able to advance the invisible fire that spread to a radius of twenty meters, and it was suddenly extinguished when it was about to reach a distance of ten meters.
The Phantom Butterfly Himima, who should be behind him, could not be detected by Raymond at this moment, and the environment that had been whispering before also fell into a dead silence, only the sound of his own heartbeat became clearer and clearer, and after an instant, it was like a giant drum being beaten, making him feel that the blood in his body was boiling!
Quickly held his breath to slow down his heartbeat, but the slight cool feeling that gently slid through his neck still made Raymond release the shield of his own breath and release the coercion field!
Heh, hehe, hehe......
The sound of strange laughter came from all directions in vain, and the breeze that had contained the coldness before became disordered and rapid, as if it surrounded him, and from time to time it would touch his skin and arms, and even his robe lifted slightly!
Raymond, who understood that the situation was very inappropriate, put his hands in front of him and began to wave, and after he constructed them one by one, the complicated and strange runes revolved around him in front of him as if they were materialized.
Three......
Five......
Ten......
When the twelve special runes were successfully constructed by him, the runes with physical existence around his body finally appeared in a new way!
From time to time, the faint sparks that burst out from these runes made a loud crackling sound, and Raymond's face was also illuminated by these faint sheen...... (To be continued......)
