Wizard: I can refine everything

Richard took the bone pointer with some curiosity and placed it flat on his palm.

The bone pointer trembled slightly, and the direction of the pointer pointed to the previous direction again.

"The curse spell is really magical." Richard sighed, returned the bone pointer to Ellie, and then came to the side of the alchemical golem and put the golem back into the secret realm.

This thing can't drill a tunnel.

Following the instructions of the bone pointer, Richard and the others went down the tunnel.

On the way, Richard kept seeing traces of the black crystal worm's actions.

This made Richard sure that there was no problem with the direction of the bone pointer.

The further down the underground insect nest went, the warmer and more humid the environment became, and the surrounding fungi became denser. Many of the tunnels ahead were covered by fungi, and they had to use mental power to explore to find them.

This greatly slowed down their pursuit speed.

But fortunately, this environment also made the traces left by the insects more obvious. Even after the spell failed, Richard could still rely on the remaining traces to continue tracking.

One month later.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, a small purple fireball blasted away the fungi that blocked the tunnel.

At this moment, Richard and the others had reached the middle layer of the insect nest. At this level, the surrounding environment was not only warmer and more humid, but even the magic in the air had significantly increased. In the magic, Richard could also feel a surge of vitality.

This vitality made the vitality of the fungi stronger. The mycelium of any fungus was very tough, forcing Richard and the others to use magic to clear the way.

Moreover, this vitality made Richard's cells somewhat excited, and the fighting impulse constantly impacted Richard's mind.

Richard could conclude that the creatures living in this level of the insect nest would become very aggressive.

At least the first-level creatures were like this.

"The rules of this world are really strange. The temperature gets higher as you go down, but the concentration of water elements is constantly rising."

Ellie had a weak flame on her body to keep her body dry.

The blood of the fire element creature she had fused with made her feel very uncomfortable with the rising water element around her.

After entering the tunnel, Richard found that the fungi that they had blasted away were growing at a speed that was small but visible to the naked eye.

It won't be long before these fungi will block the tunnel again.

"We have to hurry up. These fungi have amazing vitality when combined with the surrounding environment."

At the end of the tunnel was a cave where several black crystal worms were resting, and several of them were injured.

Richard observed the cave through the gaps between the fungi:

"It seems that the situation of these bugs is not very good. These injured bugs have fallen behind."

The condition of several bugs was very bad. The wounds on their bodies kept dripping green mucus, corroding the glowing moss on the ground into holes.

The acidic body fluids of these bugs can effectively corrode fungi. Richard was able to track them mostly by relying on these corrosion marks.

"Do you want to do it?" Ellie was eager to try.

The irritating environment and the lengthy chase made her eager to vent.

"Wait a little longer."

Richard resisted the urge to fight in his body and used his mental power to communicate with Ulysses to explore the way.

"Gah, exploring the way again."

Ulysses flapped his wings and turned into a black lightning and rushed straight to several injured insects.

"What is that!"

The mouthparts of the injured insects made a sharp explosion.

Several insects were warrior insects, and they had seen the methods of wizards. The black creature in front of them must not be a native creature of the insect nest, so the result was very clear.

"There is a monster!"

No matter how badly injured, several warrior insects stood up from the ground, and the blade arms of their upper limbs flashed with a bright edge.

These insects used to be well-known players in the insect nest, and they were quite good in both strength and luck, otherwise they would not have survived from the Black Bone Plain.

But facing these warrior insects with skills, Richard showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

As the most common fighting insect in the insect nest, the strength of the warrior insect can be described in one word-balanced.

The warrior worm's physique, energy, and body structure are very balanced, and they have ways to deal with all kinds of situations.

But balance has a similar derogatory word - that is mediocrity.

The mediocre data of the warrior worms destined them to be able to make a difference only on the battlefield. In such a small-scale battle or a single battle, mediocre data means that they are vulnerable.

Richard's figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of a warrior worm.

The fighting impulse caused by the environment these days made him very uncomfortable. When he encountered such an opportunity, he naturally wanted to vent.

"Monster! Die!"

The two warrior worms waved their blades at Richard, and the bright blades brought a sharp sword wind and rushed straight to Richard's torso.

If he was cut, Richard would at least... break a layer of skin.

Although Richard's training for the adaptive body focused on elemental damage, he also conducted training to adapt to physical damage. Cutting damage below 150 energy levels could not even scratch Richard's skin.

The warrior worms in front of him were all injured, and the power of their blade arms barely reached the 300 energy level. Richard's physique was not low, and his body could resist a certain degree of attack. In addition, he had a layer of black scales on his body.

Due to multiple reasons, the slashes of these warrior worms were like a joke in front of Richard.

Withstanding the slashes of the warrior worms, Richard raised his staff with a grim smile, and then whistled down.

Crack!

A samurai insect's body collapsed with a stick, its carapace and muscles exploded, and green slime splashed everywhere.

Ellie also waved the staff at this moment, and purple fireballs condensed on the head of the staff. The terrifying temperature even caused the temperature of the entire cave to rise. She waved her hand casually, and the fireball fell down like a meteor. The three samurai bugs that could not dodge were blown into ashes.

Seeing this, the remaining warrior bugs ran towards the tunnel in panic.

They were originally defeated soldiers, and they had long been afraid of wizards. Now that they saw their companions being killed like melons and vegetables, the courage in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

But how could Richard let them go.

Richard held the staff and smashed the bugs one by one like a whack-a-mole, and green slime splashed all over the cave.

Finally, Richard slowly walked to the last bug.

He took out a soul scroll and slowly said:

"Surrender, or die."

The only remaining warrior insect took over the contract, its double blade arms kept shaking, and a name appeared on the soul contract.

The fear of death overwhelmed his last dignity.

…

After the contract was signed, Ellie came to Richard and asked curiously:

"Why are you taking it as a slave? This insect is already disabled. It's not worth wasting a soul contract."

Richard took out a bottle of life potion and sprinkled it on the wounds of the warrior bug to prevent this guy from dying quickly.

"Can you understand these bugs?"

Ellie was stunned, and then understood Richard's intention.

"You're going to torture it."

"It's not torture." Richard squatted in front of the warrior bug, "It's questioning. I am its master, I don't need to torture it.

After saying that, he asked the warrior bug: "Insect, tell me, what is the purpose of your trip to the upper insect nest this time."

"We...we..." The warrior bug seemed to still want to struggle, but Richard's increasingly cold gaze finally made it give up the idea.

"We went to the insect nest to retrieve the god-given weapons of the sacrifice, as well as a relic of the mother insect god."

"The Mother Insect God's Relic!?" Richard was shocked and immediately asked: "What is the Mother Insect God's Relic?"

As the Lord of the World, the Mother Insect God must be involved in something not simple.

The warrior insect slowly spoke: "The relics of the mother insect god are the treasures given by the mother insect god to the thirty-six female insects in the past. Most of these treasures were taken out during the war. Only the blood of the insect god is still there. Hidden in the upper insect nest.

The priest who led us accidentally learned the news, and took us on an adventure to sneak into the upper insect nest to retrieve it. "

"I heard by chance? Are you not a bug from this bug country?"

The warrior bug shook its tentacles: "Yes, we are bugs from the lush bug kingdom."

"Then how strong is your team of bugs?"

"Most of them are one-star warrior bugs, and the sacrifice is two-star, but it went to the nest and was seriously injured by you."

Richard nodded, understanding the situation.

"Why did you seal that wizard?"

"Wizard?" The warrior bug was a little confused by this title, but it quickly realized that it was Lawrence.

"When we return to the lush insect country, we must pass through the mushroom field. The wizard is our sacrifice to the mushroom field."

…

In a cave dozens of kilometers away from Richard, a group of black crystal worms were resting.

A month of traveling made these black crystal bugs exhausted.

They removed the fungus from the transport bug, each of them divided a few fungi, then put them into their mouthparts and started chewing them.

Although they can maintain their daily activities by ingesting magic power, the life-active substances in the warrior bacteria can quickly relieve their fatigue.

Among the group of warrior bugs, a sacrificial bug wearing silk sat quietly, the black crystal on his forehead constantly flashing faint starlight.

All the bugs present could feel the disharmony within the sacrificial bugs.

A foreign energy is constantly destroying its body, and the star power of the sacrificial insect is constantly fighting against this energy.

Soon, the sacrificial insect stretched out its tentacles and opened its huge eyes, revealing a tired look.

The alien energy was rootless water after all, and the starlight power of the sacrificial insect briefly suppressed it.

"Sacrifice, do we want to continue?" asked a warrior insect leader wearing black metal armor.

Among the warrior bugs, the black metal armor represents that it is the leader of the one-star warrior bugs and is a future star that is about to enter the two-star warrior bugs.

"Continue," the sacrificial insect stood up, "if you stay here for one more minute, the mother insect god's relic will be in greater danger. Those two groups of monsters are still chasing us, we must be as quick as possible."

After saying that, it opened its mouth and protruded into a ball of starlight, turning Lawrence into a shadow like amber.

"I hope the natural spirits of the Mushroom Land will like the creatures from other worlds."
