The Wizarding Age
Chapter 0004 Whispering Garden
While the monsters were frightened by the magic fire in his hand, Grimm walked out of the trail quickly, dug up the soil at the foot of a killer tree, and used the magic fire to force the thick tree roots apart, only then did he see the materials that must be harvested today.
Among the shaggy roots of the killer tree and the white human bones, there grew thumb-sized blocky rhizomes, some white, some red, and some purple. Grimm suppressed his disgust in his heart, picked three purple beads with a portable knife and carefully put them into his waist bag, and then quickly retreated to the trail.
There was no way, this was a must-do task in the patrol mission, otherwise he would not step out of the trail even if he was beaten to death! Even though he moved so quickly just now, the monsters that had just fled had gathered again. And where he had just squatted, the blood-sucking vines parasitic on the killer tree had already dropped vines.
If he moved a little slower, it would be difficult to get away smoothly without experiencing a lot of killing!
Just now, he used his elemental vision to find the one with mature tubers among the many killer trees. Normally, he would need to frequently go in and out of the trail to search continuously in order to gain something. In that case, his danger would increase sharply with the number of times he went in and out.
After walking one or two hundred meters along the gloomy trail, he left the living area of the killer tree. A terrifying ghost tree appeared in front of him, crossing the gravel path. The vines and branches hanging from it were like living things, still wriggling.
Pulling out the witchcraft amulet representing his identity from his neck, Grimm whispered the magic secret language that every wizard apprentice must master.
"Muhantolia Xinluo."
When the magic secret language was completed, an invisible and intangible mysterious force burst out from the black cross-like amulet, quickly sweeping every inch of the surrounding space.
An urgent prompt sounded quickly in Grimm's mind.
"An abnormal wave field has been detected, and the chip function has been disturbed..."
The sound of the chip became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a noisy and harsh noise, and there was no more movement.
However, Grimm didn't care, and strode forward with the witchcraft amulet held high. As he approached, the vines kept retreating and curling up, and finally made way for a desolate and bleak road.
After inspecting the territory of the killer tree and the vampire vine, it was time to enter the paradise of the baby monsters. For that place, Grimm's heart was always filled with unconcealed fear.
After passing through the gloomy ghost tree, there was a monster living area called Whispering Garden.
Both sides of the path were almost all large and small barren flower beds and abandoned gardens, filled with gray and endless monsters.
The special climate environment of the magic swamp made it a place where baby monsters, banshees, and flower spirits enjoyed themselves, and gathered a large number of twisted monsters who only knew how to satisfy their appetite. Every living person who breaks into this place will eventually fall under their endless malicious infection and illusion temptation, and become fertilizer for many special plants that like death and resentment.
Groups of human-faced mushrooms gathered on both sides of the road, holding hands, singing cheerful songs, and warmly inviting Grimm to join their team. This little thing looks like a small mushroom with hands and feet, and is famous because the patterns on the umbrella cap are particularly like human faces.
Although these human-faced mushrooms grow hands and feet, they are not as high as a person's calf when standing up, but when they gather together and jump and laugh, Grimm feels a deep chill all over his body.
"Warning... Warning... Detected that the special force field fluctuations are affecting the main body... Please leave the area in time..."
Grimm retreated again and again, and when he was a little further away from the group of human-faced mushrooms, the chill on his body began to slowly subside.
Although these human-faced mushrooms look cute, they are out-and-out carnivorous monsters, and they are so cruel that they will not even let go of the souls of their prey. Their bodies are all white mushrooms contaminated with strong dark elements. Each individual has only a weak hallucinogenic ability, which is not enough to capture "large" creatures like humans.
But they are social creatures.
Hundreds of human-faced mushrooms gather together to form an illusion field similar to a mirage, making the confused creatures indulge in it without knowing it. Therefore, when a group of human-faced mushrooms pounce on the victim and feast on him, the victim is still immersed in an unknown fantasy space with a smile on his face!
For formal wizards, these human-faced mushrooms with only simple hallucinogenic abilities are some good witchcraft materials. But for wizard apprentices like Grimm, every time they patrol here, they have to risk their lives being lured and killed by the little monsters.
If Grimm can't stand the illusion field of the human-faced mushrooms and is lured into the flower garden, then the human-faced mushrooms can feast on him without violating the contract!
Therefore, facing this group of sinister monsters that were laughing and approaching him, Grimm took out an egg-sized round stone from his waist bag with a grim smile and threw it into their dense team.
The next moment, a light blue lightning flashed, and the five human-faced mushrooms that were huddled together fell down silently. The rest of the human-faced mushrooms that were not affected by the lightning were scared and ran away, hiding in the grass, bushes and trees in the distance.
Grimm walked quickly to the five human-faced mushrooms, put them into his waist bag one by one, and then picked up the round stone and quickly retreated to the gravel path.
This is the thunder stone he bought from his apprentice Rex at a high price. After vibration, it can release a forked lightning with an energy degree of 5 points in the surrounding area, which is just right for dealing with the weak vitality of the human-faced mushrooms. After all, the burning hand he mastered is not suitable for capture, so he can only think of another way.
Those human-faced mushrooms dared not show up again after being frightened. But countless Dawson's cold eyes and chirping whispers always accompanied Grimm, making him feel creepy.
These human-faced mushrooms are also materials that must be harvested for each patrol mission, so as soon as Grimm completed this task, he continued to rush forward along the goat path and did not dare to stay here for long.
To be honest, this is also the most dangerous area with the highest mortality rate of wizard apprentices!
After leaving the flower garden where the human-faced mushrooms were cultivated, Grimm soon came to the area where the baby monsters lived.
Baby monsters, this is a small monster with a withered and shriveled body like a human baby, and a strange thing similar to an umbilical cord is dragged behind it. They crawled on the ground, crawling very fast, and the sound of their speech was even more sharp and piercing like a baby's cry.
These baby monsters are not real babies, but a more terrifying monster, born with an instinct similar to "spelling". In other words, some of their words will become reality under the resonance of a strong will. This is simply an unlimited prayer.
Unfortunately, they are all evil creatures with extremely twisted minds, and their hearts are full of vicious curses and resentment. Therefore, don't expect them to send you any good blessings. All you can get is endless abuse and vicious curses.
When dozens of baby monsters gather together to send the most vicious curse to a target, even a ground bear will be infected by the layers of malice and become a soft crab, and then let them slaughter it.
Walking among such a group of lunatics, you really need a super strong and firm heart and will, otherwise you will be skinned and torn apart by them in a minute, and your soul will fall into them, becoming one of the many confused souls in this whispering garden.
These special types of monsters have their own territories, which they will not easily cross, otherwise it is not impossible to provoke a war between monsters.
Therefore, when Grimm walked quickly on the narrow path, the surrounding desolate garden grass was full of strange noises. He did not dare to stay here, so he could only hold the amulet on his chest tightly with his hands, lower his head and keep walking forward.
Finally, before the sharp and piercing baby cries filled his ears, Grimm had rushed out of the Whispering Garden and turned into another path.
As a daily task for patrol apprentices, every 7 days, he grasped the movements of monsters near the tower and harvested some witch medicine materials appropriately. This is almost the entire content of Grimm's trip.
The area he is patrolling now is actually still the inner circle of the magic swamp, and there are very few outsiders who can break in here. After all, the monsters cultivated by wizards are extremely dangerous. Even if wizard apprentices wear witchcraft amulets, they may not be safe. Ordinary humans who want to sneak in here to steal wizard resources are risking their lives.
To be honest, such mortals can hardly pass even the periphery of the magic swamp.
However, as far as Grimm knows, sometimes the wizard tower will deliberately release some outer restrictions, and even actively lure some mortals into the depths of the swamp. And at that time, it is usually the carnival time for these inner monsters to have a full meal!
The wizard tower is a huge circular tower. The geographical environment around the base is extremely complex, and the distribution of monsters is even more scattered. Therefore, each patrol requires at least two wizard apprentices, one forward and one reverse, to cross most of the monster living area along a fixed route. Starting from the main gate of the tower and meeting at the back gate, completing such a closed circle, their patrol mission is basically completed.
Each patrol mission can bring them 4 knowledge points and a number of gold coins. Compared with other tasks in the tower, the reward of knowledge points is already extremely generous. But even so, many wizard apprentices who are eager for knowledge points are still afraid of patrol tasks and avoid them.
There is no other reason, the mortality rate of patrol tasks is definitely the highest in the tower tasks! No one else.
This time, Grimm took the reverse loop, which required passing through the murderous forest, the human-faced mushroom farm and the whispering garden. And another wizard apprentice Tony took the positive loop, which was not necessarily much safer than him. After all, those swamp giant crocodiles, old witches, and parasite mothers are not vegetarians!
Especially when harvesting crocodile eggs and cocoons, you need to go deep into their nests, which makes the risk factor of patrol tasks soar. So when Grimm saw Tony at the back door of the tower, he was also very pleased with his luck.
The two did not talk too much after meeting, and they nodded lightly and walked into the tower.
Waiting for them here was the apprentice leader An Keso. After handing over the task items in turn, the two were completely free in the next six days. As for the knowledge points, the apprentice leader Ankeso also used a special method to record them in the witchcraft amulets of the two people.
For the apprentices of the tower, the witchcraft amulet is actually equivalent to their identity plate.
