Chapter 372: Undercurrent Rises Again
Chapter 372: Undercurrent Rises Again
Once you take off the shackles, you will be free.
Seeing the thing that once imprisoned it turned into ashes, the ze ant felt inexplicably relieved. Then it thought of a serious problem: where should it go in the future.
"Wizard Ivan, thank you for giving me this opportunity to be free. Ze Yi will remember it in his heart."
"That's fine. You've followed me for so long and have made many contributions and contributions. This is what you deserve."
"No, this is due to your kindness. If it were anyone else, Ze Yi would never have been able to uncover the mystery."
At this moment, Ze Yi's mood was extremely complicated.
It thought a lot, including lamentation, resentment, joy, confusion, and so on.
It lamented its bad luck and had struggled in the Ant-Man Vault for several years; it resented that the Mona Ant Hut used secret methods to extract its strength from time to time, and it resented that it was controlled by Ivan when it was about to break out of the shell; but it was also glad that Ivan was willing to give it a chance to break free from his control.
So, it was confused.
"Wizard Ivan, please give me another chance so that I can continue to serve you." Various thoughts flashed through Ze Yi's mind, and finally turned into a determination.
"Not leaving?" Ivan did not agree immediately.
"No, I'm used to being with you." Ze Yi shook his head.
"No regrets?"
"I will never regret it." Ze Yi said word by word.
It is not stupid. It is not difficult to find from past experiences that it grows faster by following the wizard Ivan. Things like emerald juice, insect breathing, shadow power, etc. are not something it can find by itself if it wants to.
It is because of following Wizard Ivan that I have such powerful strength.
If you really want to rely on yourself, not only will it be hard to find resources, but you will also be easily killed by other wizards.
Anyway, Wizard Ivan would not treat himself harshly. Think about the lazy Silkworm Queen who had almost lied down all the way to develop the Swiftwood Silkworm clan to great success. Why should he do it alone?
"Okay, let's sign another contract." Ivan nodded slightly and said nothing more.
The two parties have a foundation of trust and do not need any complicated contractual constraints. Something similar to the Swift Wood Silkworm Clan will do, which can ensure that they will not betray each other easily.
First the villain, then the gentleman.
After re-signing the contract, Ivan activated the Ant King's Rebirth Cocoon Formation with a wave of his hand, drawing the power from the depths of the swamp towards the Ant-Man Barrier.
"Below is the power that the Xidi Ant-Man has lost for countless years. I have found it again. It will help you recover your essence and help you reach a higher level. You must receive it firmly."
"Come on, I'm not afraid of pain."
Ze Yi didn't expect to get the benefits so soon. He thought to himself that it was indeed a wise choice to continue following Wizard Ivan.
Immediately afterwards, it was attracted by the powerful force that was being pulled over. It felt like this force suited it very well and was exactly what its body desired.
"Boom!"
Inside Ant-Man's secret vault, a column of wild rebirth power dropped from the sky and landed precisely on the swamp ant.
The force was so strong that it almost crushed the swamp ant to the ground.
As the force continued to fall, the injured part and damaged origin of the swamp ant quickly recovered, and an unprecedented sense of comfort arose, making it unable to stop indulging in it.
At the same time, a layer of mud appeared on the swamp ant's body, covering it little by little.
Gradually, the swamp ant was completely submerged in the mud shell, turning into a dirty muddy statue, but its breath was slowly growing.
……
This time, the movement of the Ant-Man Barrier was particularly loud, attracting the attention of the wizards in the Mona Ant Hut, and making those who were secretly seeking some power furious.
Inside the academy, the undercurrent that had originally subsided began to stir again.
In a secret room in a high tower, three members of the hunting team, led by Chris Donner, were about to discuss something, but for a moment they didn't know what to say and fell into a brief silence.
"Is it safe here? Do we need to discuss outside the academy? The barrier is still passable." Andaya broke the silence with a low voice.
"Why?" Chris Donner shouted angrily. He then reacted and added in a deep voice, "It must be safe here. I guarantee that no one can eavesdrop on our conversation."
Seeing him say this, Andaya nodded and stopped dwelling on this issue.
But neither of them knew what to say. The situation had changed drastically and it seemed like nothing they said would change the status quo.
“You two, the Great Elder may not be invoking the power of rebirth. With his current level of strength, he probably doesn’t think highly of this little bit of power.” The speaker was the youngest one, Walban, who used to be friends with Ivan.
"Why are you still speaking for him?" "Just because he can't use her doesn't mean his women and followers can't use her. He used her once, but it doesn't count. It's absurd that he still misses her even though he's gone so far away!"
His words were immediately refuted by Andaya and Chris Donner. Chris Donner's words were full of resentment, but also a hint of helplessness.
"How about - let's go and see the Great Elder together, and ask him to show us a way out for the sake of our past friendship?" After a pause of a few seconds, Walban said again.
"He is now a famous scholar in the wizarding world, and we are just insignificant wizards on a remote peninsula. Our strength and status are very different, so how can we have any friendship?" Chris Donnell rejected.
"Then pretend you didn't see anything, and don't say too much or do too much wrong, so as not to upset the Great Elder," Walban continued.
After hearing his words, the other two wanted to refute loudly, but they had no way to refute. In the end, they let out a weak sigh, and the sigh echoed in the secret room.
On the other side, is the residence of Dean Wakin.
Doris and Madeline, mother and daughter, came here quietly, but found that someone was already there, the other two vice-presidents, Off and Victor.
"Since you're here, come in and sit down and chat for a while." Mond Wakin naturally knew why the two of them came, and greeted them casually.
Hearing this, the two felt depressed.
"You haven't forgotten, have you? Who repaired the damaged Ant-Man Barrier? Who upgraded it to an intermediate rune magic array? And who discovered the power of rebirth? It was all done by the Great Elder.
So, what makes you think that the Great Elder cannot deal with the power of rebirth in the Ant-Man Barrier?" After the two sat down, Mond asked directly and bluntly.
The four of them lowered their heads in silence, unable to find any reason to refute these questions.
"You must always remember the Great Elder's current identity. He is a Level 3 wizard, an enchantment master, a four-way inspector, a great scholar in Dongdu, and the creator of the famous Black Magic Wind and Fire Array. No matter which one he is, you cannot provoke him. Do you understand?"
Mond continued, his tone and eyes were unusually stern as he spoke.
"clear."
"We understand, Dean."
The four of them felt a sore and dry throat, but they had to admit the correctness of the words.
When the other party just showed some ability, they forced him to refine the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array for them, treating him like a dish on a plate. Who could have thought that this would happen today.
Times have changed and nothing can be changed by human beings.
Now, they don’t even have the courage to stand in front of that person, let alone stop him from acting recklessly.
"Don't be discouraged. I have been out there for so many years and have been to more places than the Great Elder. I am not without gain." When the four people lamented the fickleness of fate, Mond spoke again.
"Dean, what do you mean--" The four of them looked at the people next to them, with a gleam in their eyes, and asked by Ofu.
"Well, it's just as you thought. I have found a path that suits our three major families. As long as you follow what I said, I can guarantee that you will all have the opportunity to be promoted to a second-level wizard. This is also the real reason why I came back this time."
Mond answered calmly, his eyes were so deep that it was impossible to fathom them.
Hearing the dean's assurance, the four of them looked even more excited.
They are all first-level wizards, and who wouldn't want to go further? Unfortunately, the resources for promotion are hard to find.
……
In Shadow Ant Fortress, Locke suddenly reported to Ivan that day.
"Boss, I found that someone is restless and has recently developed a lot of hostility towards you." He has spiritual characteristics and has always been sensitive to these things.
"Let them be, not their hearts, but their deeds."
Of course Ivan was aware of the unusual movements in the academy, as the Ant-Man Barrier was still under his control.
To be honest, he didn't care at all and never thought about explaining anything.
"Really don't need to worry about it?" Locke said with a little regret.
"No need. They will just hold back their thoughts. If anyone can't hold back and gets angry, I will slap them in the face. Whoever can withstand this slap is worthy of my explanation." Ivan joked half-seriously.
"Then they are not worthy of your explanation, boss." Locke said with a smile.
At this time, the swamp ant is still nurturing in Ant-Man's secret vault. It absorbs the power from the depths of the swamp and begins a new round of transformation. This is obviously not a process that can be achieved overnight.
Ant-Man's barrier shakes from time to time, attracting attention but also making people scratch their heads.
In this kind of college atmosphere, time passes day by day.
