Chapter 268 Two Battles
The thieves could see Ivan's presence, and the wizard on the ship could naturally see it as well.
"Deacon Tim, how about we ask for help from that person and pay him to help us out?"
"No, this guy's origins are unknown, and he might be in league with the thieves outside. If we fall for his trick, we'll be in even bigger trouble."
Someone made a suggestion, but it was immediately rejected by the wizard Tim who was leading the team. The items being escorted this time were of great importance and could not afford any mistakes.
However, there were as many as sixty or seventy bandits, and they were numerous and cunning. They refused to engage them head-on and only attacked the ship's protective formation. The situation was not good.
"If this goes on, the protective formation will be broken sooner or later. How about we charge out and kill every one of them?" another wizard said with a frown.
"You don't have to say anything, I have my own way to deal with it." Tim looked around at the arrogant thieves and bandits around him, and finally made a decision in his heart, deciding to teach these people a profound lesson.
Let the world see that although the Ancient Tree Ridge Academy has not been seen for a long time, it is not so easy to bully.
There must be more than one group of thieves hiding in the narrow gap in Thunder Bluff. If he doesn't show some real skills, he is afraid that the airship will not be able to get out.
After saying that, Tim solemnly took out a box with two glass bottles inside. One glass bottle contained a fiery red seed, and the other contained a special nutrient solution.
He poured the nutrient solution into the glass bottle containing the seeds.
"You stupid beasts, why don't you mess with us, the Ancient Tree Spine? You will regret it." Tim shouted to the bandits outside the boat while casting a spell on the glass bottle.
His words caused more arrogant ridicule and abuse from all around, as well as more violent attacks.
Tim turned a deaf ear to this.
A dozen seconds later, the medicine liquid in the glass bottle dropped rapidly, and the fiery red seeds broke through the air to reveal new sprouts. The new sprouts grew at an extraordinary speed and spread around along the side of the airship.
After a while, the green vines wrapped around the side of the ship, and in a short time they blossomed and bore red fruits.
"Go!" Tim flicked his long sleeves, and the red fruits fell off the vines and floated around the airship one after another.
"Stop playing tricks, just destroy these little things." The Thunderstorm Python knew very well that there were thousands of strange magic spells and exotic fruits, and one could get caught if he was not careful, so he had to be on guard.
He took the initiative to attack, smashing the two red fruits that flew out of the protective formation, grinding them into powder, and then turning them into ashes.
However, before he could completely destroy the red fruit, the unique fragrance of the fruit suddenly spread, and the scent aroused the desires deep in the blood of many people.
"Oh, what a good fruit! It's what I deserve."
"It smells so good, mine, mine."
The Violent Thunder Python also sensed an intoxicating breath, which caused an uncontrollable impulse deep in his heart.
The other members of the Thunder Python Adventure Group were even worse. Their desires were aroused and they flew towards the airship, trying to grab other red fruits.
"Stop!" The violent thunder python's face changed drastically, and he quickly called his people to retreat: "Quickly retreat, this thing is weird."
"Hahaha, who else but me? With these fruits, I will become a second-level wizard in no time."
"How dare you touch my things."
As the scent of the red fruit spread further, the words of the violent thunder python only awakened a few people. The eyes of the others were already filled with the frenzy of the beast. After a few arguments, they began to fight each other.
The fight soon turned into a deadly fight, affecting more and more thieves and bandits.
A unique fratricide began.
"If you carry the blood of a beast, you must be prepared to be driven by its desires." Tim looked at the fighting outside the airship coldly and said in a calm tone.
In the blink of an eye, the situation was reversed.
The wizards next to him couldn't help but show joy on their faces. They looked at him with admiration and nodded when they heard his words.
This scene also caught the eyes of people watching the excitement from a distance, and it really surprised many of the spectators.
"It is often said that the Ancient Tree Ridge Academy is the best at plant research and plant magic. Today I see that it is indeed worthy of its reputation." Ivan praised.
He once heard Solomon comment that in the entire Moonclamp Peninsula, only the Ancient Tree Spine had some ambition, while the other academies were mostly controlled by some petty and despicable people.
He wondered what the statement might be based on, but he had no idea what was hidden behind the spine of the ancient tree that made Solomon look at it in a different light.
"Ivan, what kind of weird trick is this?" The Queen Silkworm looked around the airship in fear. When the red fruit floated out, it was still craving for it.
"Bloodline transformation has hidden dangers. The deeper the transformation, the greater the hidden dangers in the body. This hidden danger is usually called 'bloodline disadvantages' or 'emotional illness'.
Emotional illness is mainly manifested in the inability of the transformed to contain the beastly emotions in their bodies. That red fruit can amplify that manic emotion in an instant and directly suppress human rationality. It is undoubtedly the nemesis of bloodline transformants. These thieves have hit a wall."
Ivan didn't actually know much about blood modification, but it was more than enough to answer the Queen Silkworm's questions.
In fact, according to his understanding, the insect controller's insect transformation should also be a bloodline defect, a very superficial bloodline defect that involves more other factors.
"So it doesn't have much effect on us."
"It can be said like this."
While the man and the insect were talking, the fighting around the airship was getting extremely brutal, and the surviving bandits were wiped out by the wizards of the Ancient Tree Spine.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the Violent Thunder Python withdrew with the few remaining men. The wizards of the Ancient Tree Spine did not pursue them, but began to check whether the airship was damaged and needed repairs.
On the other side, Ivan signaled Ze Yi to continue on his way. They quickly passed by the airship. Both sides were at peace and had no intention of greeting each other.
"I remember now. He was one of the deans of the Mona Ant Lodge. Not long ago, he promoted the reform of the college contract. This matter shocked the Peninsula for more than half a month." Dolly, a deacon on the ship, suddenly said.
"So it's him, Ivan Marichatton. This gentleman is said to be a great enchanter with extraordinary skills." A series of information suddenly emerged in Tim's mind.
The Spine of Ancient Trees is often in a semi-closed state, but its attention to the Moonclamp Peninsula has never stopped. Every once in a while, it will collect and summarize information to let the wizards know about changes in the outside world.
In the news in recent years, Mr. Marichaton has been one of the most popular.
"Deacon Tim, why don't we invite him to go forward with us? I believe he will also have to cross the Blood Corridor, and his destination is most likely Dongdu."
"What are you talking about? Our transaction with the Rank Chamber of Commerce will not be just this once. There will be many in the future. When the deans are unable to leave, we can't always rely on others."
Looking at the figure gradually moving away in front of him, Tim rejected his suggestion without thinking. It is better to rely on oneself than on others. Besides, there is no friendship between them at all. If he goes up to him rashly, he may offend him.
After a while, the airship was checked and found to be in good condition and started again.
After moving forward for a long distance, Tim signaled the airship to slow down because something was happening ahead.
The wizards on the airship looked at each other and mourned silently for the bandits who blocked their way. This time they robbed a genuine second-level wizard and were simply looking for death.
Ivan did not expect that someone would actually jump out and rob him.
However, there is only one team of five people, none of whom are wizards. All of them have undergone blood transformation, and their strength should be comparable to that of ordinary first-level wizards.
He guessed that someone wanted to test his strength.
"Wizard Ivan, I'll do it, I'll deal with them." The Queen Silkworm volunteered. It had been a long time since it had a chance to take action, especially after becoming a level three creature.
"Okay, don't be stubborn."
"Yeah, I'll just play around with them."
After receiving Ivan's order, the Queen Silkworm flew forward impatiently and its body instantly grew to the size of a normal human.
The way it flew in the air looked somewhat extraordinary, which made the bandits alert, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so they had to choose to strike first.
Facing enemies that were several times larger than her, the Silkworm Queen puffed up her cheeks and opened her mouth, spitting out a miasma filled with strong psychedelic toxins, mixed with a large number of green blades as thin as cicada wings, with a mighty force.
"No, get out of the way!"
The bandits never expected that the insect beast in front of them, which did not look ferocious, could spit out a mixed spell with such incredible power that the whole team was so scared that they quickly dodged to the side and raised their defensive shields.
The Queen Silkworm is no longer what it used to be. Its strength has reached the pinnacle of a level three creature, and its body is full of power. It also controls the spells that the Wind Moth and the Fragrance Butterfly learned when they were promoted to level two, namely 'Rosemary Wind Miasma' and 'Aoba Cut'.
The former is a wind spell, and the latter is a plant spell. Once combined, they become a powerful mixed spell.
They had specially tested it before and found that it could reach fifty scales, which was comparable to an ordinary second-level spell.
The wind moth and the scent butterfly were so competitive that the Queen Silkworm was very happy.
"Chief, help!"
The bandit squad called for help amidst a mixture of spells.
The Silkworm Queen relied on her abundant strength to keep breathing heavily, and no one came forward to rescue her. In the end, she tore the entire team into pieces, leaving only blood foam and rags scattered all over the sky.
"Hehe, I haven't done my best yet." After killing the enemy, the Queen Silkworm returned to Ivan and looked at the swamp ant with pride. This time, it had won a comeback.
"I know. I'll use it next time I have a chance." Ivan knew it was a spatial method that could speed up the 'Aoba Cut' and make it hard to defend against. "There shouldn't be anyone blind enough to block our way. Let's go. We're not far from the exit."
Upon hearing this, the marsh ant continued to fly towards the other side of Thunder Bluff.
Not far from them, an airship was moving slowly forward.
At this moment, the wizard on the airship deck looked a little stunned.
The opponent could easily defeat five official wizards by simply sending out an insect pet, making the spectators feel powerless to fight back.
So, how unfathomable is Lord Marichadon himself?
"He is indeed a famous person throughout the Yuequan Peninsula. We can hardly even compare to him." Tim said with emotion.
"What a pity, this gentleman is not from our Ancient Tree Spine, otherwise our underground exploration would be much smoother." Deacon Dolly also sighed.
He had read from the information that this gentleman had only been on the path of a wizard for eleven or twelve years, so he was always inferior to others.
"Ahem, be careful with your words. Don't mention this matter again when you're outside." Tim subconsciously looked around and warned in a deep voice.
As the airship continued to move forward, the sea of clouds on the other side of Thunder Bluff came into sight.
