Wizard: I can refine everything

In the abyss of the source sea, Richard supported the magic barrier and carefully searched for the entrance to the insect nest.

A year has passed, and the insects should be quiet.

Entering from a tunnel entrance, Richard returned to the moist and warm insect nest again. But this time he did not choose to find a hiding place and continue to harass the black crystal worms in the rear.

On the contrary, he planned to leave the insect nest and return to the area controlled by the wizards.

The rescue operation organized by the puppet wizards caused heavy losses to the black wizards, and the number of black wizards in the black mushroom insect country was greatly reduced. In addition to the previous search and capture activities of the black crystal worms and the losses in recent years, the remaining black wizards in the entire black mushroom insect country are now less than one-third of the ones before the operation began.

Of course, Richard did not know the specific data. He just vaguely felt that there were not many black wizards left in the black mushroom insect country. If he continued to carry out harassment activities, the risk factor would be much greater.

So he planned to withdraw from this insect country, and this was allowed in the black wizard action regulations.

Any black wizard behind enemy lines should take preserving his own life as the highest principle. In the event of force majeure, the black wizard can return to the wizard headquarters in advance.

And the current situation is obviously an irresistible force.

As a first-ring wizard, Richard is actually very dangerous in the insect nest.

Walking in the insect nest, Richard can clearly feel that the atmosphere of the insect nest is a bit wrong.

The patrol team of the insects has been reduced a lot.

This is not compared with the patrol team during the Mother Temple operation, but compared with when Richard sneaked into the insect nest.

Where did these reduced patrols go?

Richard thought of what Lawrence had said, and his heart tightened.

"It seems that the counterattack of the insects will come soon."

Following the tunnel, Richard soon came to a small settlement.

According to the display of the microwave developing crystal ball, this settlement is a place he almost has to pass through to go up. At least within the detection range of the crystal ball, he can't find a second way up.

"Ulysses, get ready." Richard communicated with Ulysses using mental messages.

"Gah, OK."

Ulises shrank and turned into a small bird the size of a palm and flew into the settlement. Richard sneaked in with shadow shuttle and shadow sneak, sneaking in silently.

There were not many bugs in the settlement, and there were only five warrior bugs. But what made Richard a little concerned was that one of these warrior bugs was wearing silver metal armor. According to Richard's experience, this kind of bug should be a second-level bug, and among the second-level bugs, its strength is not weak.

But the one in front of him was a little different.

In him, Richard did not feel the almost surging vitality that a second-level creature should have. He only felt decay, withering, and lifelessness.

"It seems to be an old bug." Richard thought to himself.

The young bug is probably ready to go to the battlefield now.

Suddenly, the old silver-armored bug seemed to feel something and his body suddenly disappeared.

Richard's hair stood up instantly, and the staff in his hand suddenly blocked forward.

Dang!

The figure of the old silver-armored bug appeared in front of Richard, and a pair of blade arms slashed fiercely on the staff.

If Richard missed for a moment, he would be beheaded.

"Ulises!"

Richard shouted, and the staff in his hand instantly ignited black flames.

Since he was discovered, let's fight head-on!

The old bug put away his knife and retreated, flapping his wings behind him, and his body disappeared in front of Richard again.

But this time Richard caught the trace, and the staff blocked the old bug's blade arm one step ahead.

Ding.

"You are too old, bug." Richard said coldly, "You are so old that you can't fly anymore."

Old age gave this bug a keen perception that young bugs don't have, but it also made his body weak.

If it was a young silver-armored bug, Richard would never catch his trace.

The old silver-armored bug hissed and wanted to attack again, but he felt his feet suddenly soften, and the solid ground under his feet turned into mud at this moment.

Richard seized the opportunity, and three black fireballs instantly blocked the old bug's escape path.

At the same time, he pressed forward, and the staff in his hand slashed down in the air with a whistling sound.

Boom!

The fireball exploded.

The dark flames submerged the insect and Richard's figures. When the flames disappeared, the old insect's two blade arms were broken, and his head was smashed into a ball of paste by the staff.

After integrating a large amount of refined gold, Richard's staff has become a magical weapon. The blade arms of the warrior bug are like mud in front of the staff.

"Gah, how do you feel? Do you feel a breakthrough?" Ulises flew to Richard's shoulder and asked.

Richard shook his head: "No. This bug is not enough."

The characteristic of physical evolution is that the bottleneck is difficult to break through.

After Richard's physical fitness reached 99.9, the usual methods of improving physical fitness became useless. If Richard wants to go further, he must go through the trials of life and death, or use some extremely precious natural treasures. For example: a large amount of life source.

"Gah, it's okay. Life advancement is not an easy thing. I don't know how many bloody battles I went through before I reached the strength of a demigod. Even if you can't break through your physical strength, you can still go for spiritual evolution."

Richard exhaled and quickly left the settlement.

...

After the episode, Richard's path forward was no longer blocked, and he soon arrived at the ground insect nest.

Compared with the lax underground insect nest, the above-ground insect nest is simply a giant fortress armed to the teeth.

The small Mother Goddess robes that Richard had seen before were now installed on a large scale among the insect swarms, and cannonballs with green slime were piled everywhere.

In addition, Richard also discovered some strange bugs that had not appeared in previous wars. They were probably new bugs caused by bugs.

Bugs can create things like spider knights, so they must be pretty good at biological modification.

The tight guarding of the insect nest on the ground made it difficult for Richard to do anything. In the end, he chose a method that seemed stupid but had miraculous effects - rushing out directly.

He found a tunnel near the edge of the insect nest, let Ulises open the way, and rushed out of the underground insect nest all the way to the surface.

Now there was good news and bad news before him.

The good news is that he did break out of the insect nest and the insects didn't chase him.

The bad news is that the place where Richard came out was within the range of the small Mother God Cannon. As soon as he left the insect nest range, he was greeted by several electric arc acid balls.

“This welcoming ceremony is so exciting!”

Richard looked at the acid ball flying towards him, holding on to the magic barrier and flying all the way. Acid balls continued to explode behind him, and the acid splashed onto the magic barrier, making a "sizzling" sound.

The war fortress was not very far from the insect nest, and Richard found one after flying around for more than ten minutes.

Five kilometers away from the war fortress, Richard suddenly stopped.

Although the land in front of him looked ordinary, as an alchemist wizard, Richard could easily detect the magic circle trap hidden in it.

At this moment, the wizard in the fortress also saw him.

"Is that the dark wizard who came out of the insect nest?" A white wizard wore glasses with runes flashing on the lenses.

With the help of the eye magic suit, Richard seemed to be standing in front of him, and he could count the eyelashes on his eyes.

"Has a wizard escaped from that place?" A white wizard approached and asked, "It seems that something happened inside this insect nest."

The bespectacled wizard glanced at his companion:

"Why would you join in the fun and send someone to pick him up if you know he's a wizard? In front of him is our trap area. If he dies, just wait for the military court."

The wizard who was joining in the fun waved his hands, then stood up and prepared to greet Richard.

But before he could move, he heard the spectacled wizard exclaim:

"Damn it, he just walked in!"

…

Richard switched his vision to energy vision, and when he looked at the ground in front of him, it changed instantly.

Large swaths of energy threads appeared in front of Richard's eyes. These energy threads crossed each other and were connected in series. There were even brighter energy nodes at the intersection. According to Richard's experience, those nodes should be where the runes were.

These energy threads cover a wide area, all the way to the front of the war fortress.

"The trap area is not bad." Richard murmured, but then he showed a confident smile.

"But it's useless to me."

I saw Richard shuttle back and forth between the energy threads lightly, cleverly avoiding all the magic circle traps, and moving very fast.

"What's going on? Why did that kid just break into the trap area!" the wizard asked his companion.

"He... did break in, but..." the glasses wizard said in a dry voice, "He didn't encounter any of the traps we set and avoided them all."

"All bypassed!"

The wizard's voice suddenly became louder. These magic circle traps were set up bit by bit by him and the glasses wizard, and their concealment was absolutely no problem.

"Inform the commander." The bespectacled wizard took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"This kind of master has escaped from the underground. It seems that there is really a big problem down there."

Ten minutes later, Richard saw the white wizards who were waiting in the hall of the war fortress.

The conductor, whose body exuded considerable energy fluctuations, walked quickly to Richard and asked nervously.

"Master, what's the problem down there?"

The White Wizard Commander is an extreme first-level wizard who has experienced two plane wars, so he has some experience. But compared to the master in front of him who could easily avoid the trap area, he felt that he should have a more correct attitude.

"Don't dare to take it, don't take it." Richard and the white wizard commanded each other to perform wizard salutes.

"I'm not much of a master."

The White Wizard shook his head and said:

"Master doesn't have to be humble. He can bypass our trap area so easily. Master is either a master of the plasticity school or a master of the alchemy school."

"Uh..." Richard was a little speechless, but he did not continue to dwell on this topic and started talking about business.

"Don't you know, there was trouble in the insect nest No. 12 a year ago, and thousands of wizards were killed by insects."

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall fell into silence.

The white wizard commander looked serious and took out a photo crystal ball from his magic pocket.

"Master, please tell me in detail."
