Big Devil: Starting from refining flying zombies

"How did you do it?" Teacher Bettina took out a cigarette with a silver filter and lit it. Her eyes were blurred. She took a puff first, and then her words came out along with the swirling smoke.

As a mentor of the Magic Shaping Department, Bettina can of course also release the Scarlet Flame Blade.

But even as a third-level wizard, she still could not guarantee to hit the earth worm's brain with such accuracy.

Neltharion said naturally after hearing this:
"It's simple. I have dissected the larvae of the earth worm myself and am very familiar with its physiological structure."

"Then I used my extra mental energy to assist in aiming the witchcraft, calculated the lead time, and released the witchcraft at the insect brain, killing it quickly."

Ekko's cheek twitched, and he began to understand where his strong hostility towards Neltharion came from.

That's largely because of jealousy.

Whether in terms of talent, knowledge, or practical ability, Neltharion seemed to be superior to him, and never even regarded him as an enemy or opponent.

If Ek's previous ridicule was seen as a slap in the face by outsiders, it would be considered a slap in the face of Neltharion.

But after the latter fired a scarlet flame blade, ending the life of the alienated earth worm.

Even though Neltharion didn't say anything sarcastic, he didn't even look at him more than once to show off.

The slap seemed to fly back like a boomerang and hit him hard in the face, causing a burning pain!
"Huh? There seems to be something wrong with this earth worm. I seem to have found the source of the extraordinary energy that caused it to become alienated!"

At this moment, Herman, who was using witchcraft to perform a complete skinning operation on the other side, showed a look of shock on his face.

He took out a palm-sized purple crystal from the insect's belly.

And this purple crystal, whether in terms of purity, brightness, or the extraordinary energy radiation it emits, is hundreds or thousands of times more powerful than the crystal clusters on the alienated insect skin at the beginning!
"It looks like the Earth Worm accidentally swallowed it while eating. Perhaps it came from deep underground in the Howling Abyss?"

Samira stared at the countless holes and tunnels on the ground and spoke thoughtfully.

"No matter what kind of mineral this is, as long as it has not been included in the academy before, it's fine. If we take the insect skin into account, it's like killing two birds with one stone, and it's directly included in two alienation atlases."

Onandi's tone became a little excited. The speed of completing the trial task is also a part of the scoring.

If we take into account the powerful strength that Neltharion has gradually revealed, they might be able to get a very high score for this trial mission.

After these words were spoken, the attention of the other people in the team was diverted, and even Instructor Bettina did not take it seriously.

After carefully examining the purple crystal, Neltharion was unable to see its characteristics for a moment.

After all, this is not a proper laboratory and there are not so many professional witchcraft research equipment for him to use.

In the end, he could only scrape off a little amethyst powder as a souvenir.

Only Liang Xiao, who was in the Phantom Blood Demon God, saw this scene, and a hint of amusement flashed in his mind.

Because if he was not mistaken, this purple crystal was transformed from the fragments of the laws of the void god in the past.

The source of the law is most likely related to mutation and evolution.

Amethyst, as a concentrated entity of this law power, can definitely accelerate the speed of alienation and evolution to an unimaginable level.

This is actually a great opportunity for wizards.

It’s a pity that no one on the field knew what was going on. The power of the law was still too much for a group of second- and third-level wizards to understand.

"Let's continue exploring!" Instructor Bettina just casually ordered, and then asked the trial team to continue moving. For the next three days, Neltharion and the others explored deeper into the Howling Abyss.

Due to the unique terrain here.

The deeper you go, the less sunlight you see, and there are all kinds of monsters or alienated plants that are rarely seen in the outside world.

Although most of the things here have already been collected by the Titanium Wizard Academy in advance, and those that meet the requirements of the exotic object atlas are quite rare, there are still some gains after all.

The members of the trial team successively collected three unique mutated monster organs and a magic potion with special medicinal properties.

But it seemed as if God was playing a joke on them.

The mission of this trial requires collecting illustrations of seven alienated objects. The mission progress has reached six-sevenths, but the last illustration of alienated objects is stuck.

For the next half month, the trial team was in a miserable state and gained nothing. Instead, they were tortured by the harsh environment in the Howling Abyss!
"No, continuing to wander aimlessly in the Howling Abyss and relying on luck to search for the alienated things is too inefficient. We must take the initiative!"

That night, while casting witchcraft to drive away the annoying blood-sucking mosquitoes around him, Ek spoke with a serious face.

This naturally aroused the approval and resonance of several other teammates.

However, taking the initiative also requires a suitable venue.

And Neltharion was under the subconscious influence of Liang Xiao.

He proposed to return to the mountain cavity where the mutated earth worms were killed before, and explore deep underground along the tunnels dug by the earth worms.

His proposal did not seem outlandish to others.

Because the earth worm has unique habits, it can often create a large underground space.

These underground spaces may attract other magical beasts that avoid natural enemies to come and live here, and eventually form a unique small ecosystem.

Under the influence of the unique energy radiation of the Howling Abyss, there is a high possibility that there are alienated creatures that have not been included in the academy in these seldom-visited small ecosystems.

The other members of the trial team couldn't think of any other plan for a while.

So everyone agreed on this idea and began exploring downwards through the worm tunnel early the next morning.

Due to the huge size of the earth worm, the underground passage that allows it to pass through is dark but not as cramped as imagined. Instead, it is very spacious, like a train tunnel.

Here, Neltharion collected a lot of experimental data under special environments, which was a fruitful harvest.

But what was strange was that the underground space, which was originally filled with traces of small and medium-sized magical beasts' activities, was now empty, as if all the magical beasts had collectively migrated out at some point in time.

The trial team consisted of extremely curious wizards, so seeing this kind of situation would naturally not allow them to simply turn around and run away out of fear. Instead, they kept up their defensive magic at all times and explored toward the bottom of the worm tunnel.

"Oh my god...it turns out that all those disappeared monsters are here. They are all dead. What kind of monster did they raise?"

At the bottom of the worm tunnel, Onandi inserted his fingers into his hair, a look of disbelief on his face.

Because what lay before the trial team was a pile of corpses made up of the bodies of magical beasts, and on the top of the pile of corpses condensed a humanoid creature made up of purple crystal clusters.

This purple crystal man has no breath at all, and is a pure dead thing, but it inexplicably gives people a sense of shock and horror, as if it will open its eyes in the next moment. (End of this chapter)
