Chapter 103 Soaring Strength
Chapter 103 Soaring Strength
Inside the alchemy room.
Under the bright light of the wall lamp, Ivan raised the small glass bottle and drank it all.
The next second, he came to a gloomy space filled with rolling dust. Several figures squeezed through the dust and rushed to not far from him. He could see that the other party was wearing a decent black priest robe. A head with two horns was revealed from the hood of the robe, and there were animal pupils and fangs on the face.
These figures bared their fangs and claws, uttered vicious curses, and tried to grab him.
Seeing this scene, Ivan frowned, raised his hand and sent out a mental force shock, defeating the figure.
"How is the magic stone formed? Why do these monsters appear every time, and they carry so much resentment?" He is no longer a novice who takes magic stone water. He understands that the appearance of illusions comes from the raw material, that is, the magic stone itself.
The magic stone contained some deep-seated resentment, and only in the illusion would something that wanted to attack him appear. He always felt that the black robe on the other party was somewhat similar to the wizard robe.
After the illusion disappeared, Ivan actually didn't go anywhere. He was still in the alchemy room, sitting on the chair.
Strength: 3.9, Agility: 5.1, Constitution: 5.1, Spirit: 5.4
An attribute panel appeared on the light film. He stared at it with shining eyes. His mental strength increased by 1.2 levels. It was worth it for him to spend thousands of magic stones. Thinking about it, everything was worth it.
There hasn't been much improvement in other aspects of his body in recent times. Instead, his weak strength is 0.3 scales higher than when he left Flying Fish Harbor, while his agility and physique have only increased by 0.1 scales. This is because his fighting spirit has entered a period of slow growth, and unless there are other secret breathing medicines, it is difficult to have a significant improvement in a short period of time.
Then, he glanced at the academic master's panel, which showed the experience value prompt.
[Pharmacy experience +60]
[Pharmacy: lv4 (737/1000)]
In recent days, the experience of alchemy has increased rapidly, and the growth of runes, enchantment, and knight's breathing has also been obvious. Among them, knight's breathing has benefited more from the planting of "Spring Buds".
Thanks to his hard work, all the swift wood silkworms have merged with the buds of spring, as well as a bit of the curse power of the demon's curse.
Now, he only had a portion of the curse power left, which was equivalent to the amount that Toins transferred the first time, so it was easy to suppress it. After observing the Swift Wood Silkworms, he found that they did not show any abnormalities, which meant that they could carry more curse power, which was good news for him.
In fact, the Swift Wood Silkworms have become much stronger than when they were in Sang Valley. The reason is very simple. They have been in a state of malnutrition before. Just as Randall said, the Swift Wood Silkworms were starving before. After being fed with plant elemental stones, they are now in a normal state, or even beyond normal.
The Queen Silkworm in normal state would give him some surprises from time to time. Almost every two or three days, a young Swift Wood Silkworm would be added, which was the offspring of the Queen Silkworm.
……
The six-man team still needed to carry out their patrol mission, leaving early and returning late every day. During their subsequent patrols, they encountered creatures of various postures.
On the sixth day of the patrol, the team discovered a tree monster hiding secretly.
This is a tree covered with roots and branches. It is short, with unformed facial features. It can control the roots and vines around it, but is afraid of fire spells.
According to the academy's rules, the six-man team cleared it out, and Ivan collected some materials that could be used to perform "vine entanglement".
On the ninth day of the patrol, the team encountered a patch of sharp-toothed flowers.
Once a creature approaches, the Sharptooth Flower will suddenly jump out and pounce on the creature's head. If it succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous. It is also afraid of fire spells, so the team must eliminate it.
On the eleventh day of the patrol, the six-member team encountered a mud monster again. It was not as ferocious as the previous swamp mud monster and was easily killed.
Under Cody's leadership, several people went to Fengwan City and stayed in the city for more than two hours.
Ivan saw the customs and culture of this exotic town. Compared with Flying Fish Harbor, there are many more elements related to wizards here. Ordinary people here need to take a potion called "purifier" regularly to avoid being affected by the force field occasionally emitted by wizards.
Even if they take the purifier on time, ordinary people cannot stay in Fengwan City for too long. They can live in Fengwan City for ten years at most. If they stay there for too long, their life span will be seriously shortened.
In addition to ordinary people, there are also many older wizard apprentices living in Fengwan City, and they are not all from Mona Ant Farm. On the twelfth day of the patrol, the six-member team began to patrol a special area, which was also the most dangerous place in the mission.
Cody warned in a deep voice: "Everyone, be alert. This is not an ordinary place. The number of demonized creatures is several times that of other places."
He was pointing to a large thatched field ahead. The grass was yellow and withered, with only a few sparse tufts of grass still tenaciously alive, and even had several small flowers blooming, which made people sigh when they saw it.
There are occasional small puddles among the grass, but nothing special seems to be there.
Hayden muttered, "It is said that there is a sewage pipe down there, and the other end of the pipe is connected to several high-energy laboratories."
His words reminded people of the swamp mud monster from before, and they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. It couldn't be overemphasized that such a place deserves great attention.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Rumors don't count."
Cody turned around and glared at him. He was trying to dampen morale at a time like this. He was really a guy who didn't want to be a human being.
Strong medicine is needed in important places. Cody distributed the "mania potion" to each team member. Under their operation, a thin layer of mist was generated, which was blown by the breeze and drifted to the dry thatched grass, evenly blending into it.
After a while, the soil on the ground collapsed one after another, and mud and water splashed all over the place. Creatures like earthworms as thick as arms crawled out and directly overturned many clusters of tail grass flowers.
"It's a swamp worm."
The landing of the mania potion was like poking a swamp worm nest. Swamp worms of all sizes crawled out of an area in front of the thatched grass. Most of the swamp creatures could spit out mud, and half of the mud was mixed with acid. Swamp worms were the latter.
Swamp worms are a general term for worms, which are divided into many species. Ivan couldn't tell which species the one in front of him belonged to, but it was definitely not the kind that could shed its shell and build a nest.
"Puff puff."
As soon as the two sides met, they greeted the apprentices with acid.
'Fire Bee Cone' 'Ice Cone' 'Spinning Wind Blade'
The old apprentice cast a powerful spell at the first move, sending it back at the swamp worm.
Ivan was not idle either. He controlled a dozen swift wood silkworms to transform into swift wood moths. The swift wood moths were like bullets that were fired out, easily piercing the bodies of worms. A group of moths were like mowing the grass, cutting the worms into several pieces as soon as they came into contact with them. Their spells were no worse than those of other people.
In terms of speed alone, he estimated that the current Swift Wood Silkworms are at around 3.2 scales, which is comparable to some knights. When they are deployed, they are equivalent to a group of knights.
The performance of the Swift Wood Silkworm was somewhat eye-catching. The other apprentices just took a closer look and then continued to clean up the swamp worms.
With everyone's joint efforts, all the swamp worms that dared to show their heads were wiped out.
At Cody's signal, they changed direction and circled the thatched field to continue using the manic potion. Only a few black-scaled water snakes emerged, and Hayden cleared them all by himself.
He continued to change positions, but failed to attract anything from several locations. It was not until he returned to the other side of the previous swamp worms' territory that some demonic creatures emerged.
This situation was very unusual. When they looked at each other, they saw the caution in each other's eyes.
