Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 313 Sawgrass

"Is there a task for the mentor to come to me?" Enzo asked.

"That's right!" Gustav nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Three months ago, the [Lital area] sent twelve wizard teams to carry out exploration missions on the world outside the tower."

"According to the content of the mission, the twelve wizard teams will respectively develop in different directions in [Lital area]."

"As of yesterday, eleven wizard teams have returned to the tower after completing the pioneering mission, but there is still one exploration team that has not yet returned, and has lost contact with us."

"Lost contact?" Enzo frowned.

"That's right." Gustav frowned and sighed, "The missing wizard team is composed of a guardian first-order wizard and thirty rune knights. They originally went to the direction of [Twisted Forest] to carry out pioneering work." mission, but ten days ago, they suddenly lost contact with the tower."

"According to past experience, if the development team loses contact with the tower for more than ten days, it is very likely that an accident has occurred!"

"The mission entrusted to you this time is to investigate the cause of the disappearance of the pioneering team and continue to explore the Twisted Forest area."

"Understood!" Enzo nodded.

The content of the mission is very clear. There is a team of wizards missing in the Twisted Forest area. It is basically certain that something unexpected happened. Enzo's mission is to investigate what exactly happened.

"You can leave this afternoon."

Gustav stretched out his hand, with a crystal cube in his palm, and said, "This is the data sent back by the previous wizard team during the pioneering mission, recording the basic map of the Twisted Forest."

"For this mission, you have the right to recruit some extraordinary knights to form a pioneering team, but the number cannot exceed thirty."

"I understand, mentor!" Enzo took the cube and put it away, then nodded.

……

On the barren plain, a team marched forward.

Enzo rode Swain's transformed black horse and walked at the front of the team, followed by thirty rune knights riding magic horses.

"My lord, the Twisted Forest is ahead."

At this moment, a rune knight in black armor with long and narrow scars around his eyes controlled the magic horse to come forward and said in a deep voice.

"Carter, take five rune knights and go ahead to explore the way." Enzo ordered.

"Yes, my lord!" Knight Carter ordered, beckoning to the back, and immediately five rune knights followed and went to explore the way ahead.

Several rune knights entered the jungle in front of them, and after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the Carter knight made a gesture to indicate that everything was normal.

"Let's go too." Enzo nodded slightly, leading the others into the jungle.

There are 31 people in this mission team. Apart from Enzo, who is a Tier [-] wizard, there are three Rune Knights who are Tier [-] life forms, and the rest are ordinary Rune Knights.

In the lush primeval jungle, the tall trees completely blocked the light projected from above, so that the environment was a bit dark, and there were many branches and vines criss-crossing around.

In this kind of jungle area, it is difficult for ordinary horses to move forward. Fortunately, the mounts of the rune knights are all iron-clawed horses with the blood of monsters. They are species that have been cultivated by wizard civilization for thousands of years. Ability.

"Chip, turn on the scanning function and record the surrounding terrain!" Enzo ordered in his heart.

There was silence in the Twisted Forest, and not even a single insect could be heard around, as if there was no life here, and there was a trace of weirdness in the silence.

Herod!
At this moment, in the team that was moving forward, an iron-clawed magic horse suddenly screamed, and the rune knight as the owner hurriedly comforted it.

"What the hell?" Knight Carter pulled out his cross sword.

On the hind legs of the iron-clawed horse, there was a green plant wrapped around it, similar to grass, but with sharp leaves that rubbed against each other like a serrated knife.

brush!
On the back of the iron-clawed horse, the rune knight decisively drew out the cross sword, and slashed at the grass plants with a sword, but there was a sound of metal friction.

Stab la la!
As the cross sword slashed over, the grass plant immediately waved a slender leaf to block the blade attack. Then, it let go of the Iron Claw Demon Horse's hind legs and curled up on the spot.

At this time, a jagged wound appeared on the leg of the iron-clawed horse. Although the bone was not injured, the blood flow continued.

Rune Knight felt distressed immediately. The Iron Claw Horse was his mount, as well as his partner, and even his family.

"Damn it!" The rune knight who was injured on his mount was a little annoyed, and he swung his cross sword to kill the grass plant.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, Enzo said.

The rune knight stopped immediately, retracted the cross sword and stepped aside, took out some medicine from the backpack, and treated the wound for the iron claw horse.

Enzo got off his horse and walked over.

"Chip, scan!" Enzo ordered in his heart, looking at the curled up grass on the ground.

"Ding! Unknown species found..."

"It really is a new species!" Enzo's eyes lit up, he took out a dagger, and tried to cut a part of the grass plant.

However, before Enzo's dagger touched the grass plant, two slender, jagged leaves were already waving, like a swordsman wielding two swords.

Jingle!

The dagger collided with the leaves, making a metallic sound, and the grass plant no longer curled up, but stretched out, and the four sawtooth leaves waved at the same time.

Squeak!

There was a subtle and sharp sound, which seemed to be from the grass plants. Although the specific meaning was not clear, it seemed to be expressing anger.

"Chip, name the new species: Sawgrass."

A hint of interest floated on Enzo's face. In [Aiqila World], a plant has such a strong sense of self-protection, and even gave birth to the most basic wisdom.

Jingle!

The dagger in Enzo's hand, as soon as it got close to the sawgrass, the opponent would react violently, and the four sawtooth leaves swung like soft swords.

"The sense of the outside world is very strong."

Enzo's eyes flickered, and he came to some basic conclusions. When the sawgrass was threatened, it would use its four leaves to fight back.

Afterwards, Enzo put away the dagger, grabbed the sawgrass with his hands, and pulled it out from the ground by its roots.

Squeak! !
The sawgrass let out a sharp cry, and when its gray roots were exposed to the air, they withered immediately, appearing extremely weak.

"Can't you leave the dirt?"

Enzo took out a glass jar, filled it with some soil, and then planted the sawgrass, and the sawgrass regained its vitality.
