Journey to the Wizarding World

Chapter 314 Twisted Tree

The sawgrass that was transplanted into the jar seemed to feel very frightened, and the four leaves growing around it all gathered together, curled up into a ball and shivered.

"Interesting!"

Enzo nodded slightly. After thinking for a while, he handed the sawgrass in the jar to Knight Carter, and ordered, "You are responsible for taking care of this sawgrass. Be careful and don't let it die."

"Obey, my lord!" Knight Carter took the jar and hugged the sawgrass in his arms.

Afterwards, the pioneering team continued to move forward.

The environment of the Twisted Jungle is intricate, but with the map as the basis and the guidance of the chip, this prevents the pioneering team from getting lost.

Squeak!

There was another sound not far away, which was particularly harsh in the silent forest.

Enzo looked over, and there were two sawgrass plants growing in the forest clearing ahead, waving their sawtooth leaves and fighting, looking like two dueling swordsmen.

Jingle!

The two sawgrass plants were very close, and the jagged leaves clashed, making a metallic sound. They both showed very angry emotions, attacking the same kind frantically.

Enzo raised his hand, signaling the rune knights behind him to stop.

"Record it with a crystal ball!"

Looking at the two sawgrass fighting not far away, Enzo thought for a while, took out a crystal ball from the space ring, injected magic power, and activated the photo-taking function of witchcraft props to record the scene in front of him.

The essence of pioneering tasks is to explore the unknown and record it!
About 3 minutes passed, and the battle between the two sawgrass came to an end. One of the thinner sawgrass had two leaves cut off, made a sharp cry, and curled up its body in a desperate manner.

And the other sawgrass waved its leaves triumphantly, like a victorious general.

"Does curling up mean surrender?" Enzo stroked his chin.

The defeated sawgrass curled up for a while, and then slowly stretched in one direction. Its roots seemed to be able to arch the soil and move in this way.

And the victorious Sawgrass did not show any reaction to this.

Enzo's eyes flashed, and some inferences arose in his heart.

"Give me the jar." He told Knight Carter, and after taking the sawgrass jar, he turned over and got off the horse, and walked towards the open space ahead.

squeak! !

Feeling Enzo's approach, the sawgrass on the ground screamed, and all four sawtooth leaves with scars waved, as if to expel the intruder.

Enzo was unmoved, and stopped not far from it.

Immediately afterwards, he transplanted the sawgrass in the jar into the soil on the ground.

In the same area, two sawgrass plants appeared. They screamed at the same time, then moved towards each other vigorously, waved the sawtooth leaves on their bodies, and fought together directly.

"It really is like this!"

Enzo's eyes flashed, he stroked his chin, and said to himself, "Sawgrass has a sense of territory. Any outsider who steps into the territory will be expelled and attacked by them, including the same kind."

Jingle Jingle!

The battle between the two sawgrasses ended soon. The sawgrass that originally belonged to this territory had just experienced a battle and its leaves were damaged, so it was naturally no match for the foreign sawgrass.

One of its leaves was cut off, and after the body curled up to express surrender, it moved towards the distance in a state of embarrassment.

Another sawgrass waved its leaves, as if celebrating victory, but Enzo then uprooted it again and transplanted it into the jar again.

"Go ahead!" Enzo handed the jar to Carter, and then ordered.

Time passed by little by little, and the morning passed quickly.

The pioneering team has entered the depths of the Twisted Forest. Along the way, Enzo has discovered several new species, but they are all plants without exception.

Among them, there is the Sawgrass with a strong sense of territory to attack by waving leaves!
When outsiders approach you, it will spray pine needles to spit needles!

There is even a large piece of blade grass that looks ordinary but is as sharp as a knife when stepped on!

Every time he encounters new species, Enzo will observe their habits and collect several samples as proof of pioneering missions and materials for future experiments.

"My lord, what is that?" Cavalier Carter asked next to him.

Ahead, a huge tree appeared.

It has a trunk as thick as a giant carriage wheel, and its green branches continue to extend outward, forming a huge tree umbrella, with vines hanging down from it.

And on a branch as thick as an arm, there is a green fruit with a big head hanging.

"Go and have a look, everyone be careful!" Enzo calmly dismounted from his horse and walked towards the giant tree. Swain was also a little tired at this time, so he turned into a crow and landed on him. shoulders.

"It seems that it should not belong to intelligent creatures."

Looking at the giant tree in front of him, Enzo scanned it with a chip, but did not find any signs of intelligent creatures, as if it was a very ordinary new plant tree.

"What is this?" Then, Enzo turned his eyes to the head-like fruit on the branch.

After hesitating for a while, Enzo pulled out the cross sword and cut off the green fruit with one sword.

Click!

When the head-like green fruit fell to the ground, a crack suddenly fell out, and thick juice flowed out, emitting a smell similar to secretions.

Walking forward, Enzo cut the fruit open with a sword.

"This is?" Seeing the scene inside the fruit, Enzo's pupils shrank suddenly.

After the green head fruit was cut open, it looked like an animal placenta inside. A creature that looked like a juvenile crocodile was curled up and wrapped in mucus, and its organs were basically formed.

"died?"

Enzo put away the cross sword, grabbed the crocodile creature on the ground, and found that it had no signs of life. It seemed that the fruit that served as the placenta ruptured, resulting in the death of an immature creature.

"Can trees that are plants give birth to animals?"

Enzo's eyes flashed with thought. The unknown tree in front of him should be the mother of the crocodile creature, and the crocodile creature was bred through the fruit as the placenta.

"What a wonderful world!" Enzo sighed again.

Afterwards, he took out a container, collected all the dead young crocodile creatures on the ground, together with the placental fruit, and put them into the space ring.

"Chip, name this tree: Twisted Tree." Enzo ordered in his heart.

The giant tree in front of him is distorted in shape and can give birth to life. It has no other characteristics, so Enzo gave him a simple name.

And right now.

"Alert! Dangerous creatures are approaching, please be careful!"

Just naming the Twisted Tree, a chip alarm came from his mind. Enzo's eyes froze, and the jungle behind the Twisted Tree shook, and a huge figure crawled out.

slap!

A ball of green slime hit, Enzo thought, the shadow under his feet turned into a shield, blocking the attack of the slime, and made a corroding sound.

"Hiss!" The creature lying on the ground ahead made a snake-like sound.

However, its appearance has nothing to do with snakes at all. Its huge body is somewhat bloated, with densely packed eyes on its huge head, and its body is covered with strips of tiny green tentacles, like a layer of hair.

"Hundred Mosquito Bear!" Enzo fixed his eyes and recognized the creature in front of him.

This is a unique species of [Aiqila World]. Enzo once saw a biological sample of a limebear in the laboratory of Wizard Herbert on the [-]th floor of the tower. The appearance of this creature is similar to that of a bear. The tentacles covering the body surface are like iron nematodes, and the attack method is to spray corrosive mucus.

"My lord, do you want to kill it?" Knight Carter pulled out his cross sword.

"Be careful." Enzo nodded.

Since Wizard Herbert's laboratory already had the biological samples of the bimega bear, there was no point in capturing it again, so the monster could simply be eliminated.

Cavalier Carter drove the iron claw horse and rushed towards the worm bear.

The battle didn't show the slightest intensity. In just one round, Cavalier Carter chopped off the head of the Beetle Bear, and a green sap-like liquid flowed from the incision.

Enzo stepped forward, drew out the cross sword, and cut the Limebear into a whole.

This kind of creature has no internal organs. Under the surface, there are intertwined blood vessels like vines. The bone material is relatively brittle, like a broken branch.

Enzo looked at the dead body of the worm bear for a moment, then shook his head.

The world is full of wonders. Almost every new species discovered in [Aiqila World] subverts Enzo's cognition. As a protozoan, it has no reproductive organs, and almost all reproduction depends on the tree as the mother.

"I don't know if those children of the forest were also conceived by trees?"

Enzo stroked his chin, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. As the ruling class of [Aiqila World], the children of the forest are the most intelligent race, not only possessing the ability to speak, but also gifted with the ability to manipulate plants.

"It's getting late, we're camping here."

Afterwards, Enzo looked up at the sky. It was almost evening, so he ordered the knights to set up camp and prepare to rest in this forest clearing.

The rune knights dismounted one after another, and began to camp in place under Enzo's order.

Above the Twisted Forest, the sky gradually turned black, and night fell quietly. In the glade, tents had been set up everywhere, and the surrounding rune knights were divided into three teams, each led by a knight commander who took turns to watch the night.

In the silent forest, there is a depressing atmosphere.

"Help, help" Suddenly, there was a faint voice from a distance, like a man's cry, with a hint of despair in the fear.

"This voice!?"

Cavalier Carter, who was patrolling around the camp, suddenly froze in place, his pupils shrank, he turned to look in the direction of the sound, and said in surprise, "Could it be Edmund?"

"Help. Someone help me."

The intermittent voice came again, and Knight Carter's eyes shone, and he said in a deep voice, "Emond and I were graduates of the same class of Iron Knight Academy. This is his voice, and there is absolutely no mistake!"

Three months ago, the pioneering team exploring the Twisted Forest consisted of 31 people.

In addition to the guardian wizard Gram, there are three rune knight commanders, and Emond is one of them. The rune knight graduated from the Fortress Great World Iron Knight Academy and has the fighting power of a first-order life body.

The appearance of Edmond's voice means that clues to the missing development team have been found.

Enzo walked out of the largest tent in the forest glade. He also heard the voice, and with the help of the chip, he knew the direction of the sound more clearly.

"My lord, it's Edmond's voice!"

Knight Carter hurried over and said, "He was a member of the pioneering team three months ago. He followed Wizard Gram to the Twisted Forest to perform an exploration mission, but he lost contact with the tower."

"Are you sure it's Knight Emond?" Enzo asked with a frown.

"It's his voice, there will be no mistakes!" Knight Carter said decisively, "We were very good friends when we were in Fort World, and we graduated from the Iron Knight Academy in the same class. I am very familiar with his voice." .”

"In this case, you bring ten people and come with me to have a look."

Enzo pondered for a moment, then turned his head and ordered, "Eric, Andy, the two of you and the rest of you are on standby to guard the camp here."

"Obey, my lord!" Eric and Andy, the two rune knights, said.

Afterwards, ten rune knights assembled quickly.

Under the leadership of Enzo and Cavalier Carter, the team headed towards the direction of the sound. Intermittent calls for help continued to be heard, and gradually became clearer as everyone approached.

"Alarm! An unknown creature is found ahead!"

The chip alarm sounded in his mind, Enzo slowed down, a layer of light blue floated in his eyes, and after the night vision function was turned on, through the darkness, the silhouette of a monster appeared in front of him.

"It looks a bit like a crocodile?" Enzo stared.

As the distance gradually narrowed, the scene ahead also appeared in everyone's eyes.

Among the forests intertwined with trees, a huge monster crawled on a thick twisted tree. It looked like a prehistoric giant crocodile in appearance, but its limbs were thicker and slender, with its bloody mouth wide open.

"Help. Someone help me."

The jaw and throat of the crocodile monster trembled, and a man's voice came out. To Knight Carter's ears, it sounded exactly like the voice of his comrade-in-arms Emond.

"How could this be?" Carter asked in disbelief.

At this time, the crocodile monster on the twisted tree also seemed extremely excited after discovering everyone, opened its bloody mouth and quickly sprayed out a hot flame.

Enzo frowned slightly, and the shadow shield appeared automatically.

Blocked the crocodile flame attack, but he felt a little puzzled, because from the flame just now, Enzo actually felt a trace of rune breath, as if there was a flame rune cohesively in the body of this crocodile monster.
