The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 124 Underground World (Part )

Spider Knight was not mentioned in the headquarters' intelligence, which was undoubtedly new information for the headquarters.

If this intelligence can be reported, the command center will reward the reporter. But the current problem is that this reward will only be given to the first wizard who discovers it.

So now the three of them must find a wizard with fast enough legs to go and report.

"I'll go."

Ellie came to Richard and stuffed the body of a Spider Knight into the magic pocket.

"My mentor and I have a two-way communication crystal ball. Although the range of this crystal ball is not large, it is faster than flying to the floating city to report."

Richard and Lawrence looked at each other and exchanged opinions.

"Okay, how do we divide the remuneration?" Lawrence asked.

He is a free wizard and attaches great importance to interests.

Richard proposed a plan: "How about splitting it equally?"

Lawrence paused for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

Seeing that Lawrence agreed to the distribution plan, Ellie did not stay for long and immediately rushed to the floating city with the body of the Spider Knight.

After Ellie left, Lawrence didn't plan to sit idle.

"I'll go explore the way down there and come back in about six hours." Lawrence said in a low voice, "I'll leave a magic mark. If I don't come back, it means there's something wrong with this road."

Richard nodded. They were just a temporary team and he had no control over what Lawrence was going to do.

He had no need to save Lawrence when he was in danger, but since Lawrence had obtained the treasure, he had no right to share it.

……

Lawrence took two spider knight corpses from the ground and then left.

After he left, Richard walked around the settlement.

This settlement had no other buildings except the warehouse. At first, Richard thought that these insects were sleeping outdoors, but when he scanned with his mental power, he found that these black crystal insects actually lived inside these giant fungi.

Due to the characteristics of fungi, even if these giant fungi are hollowed out, they can still survive normally relying only on the outer layer of hyphae that are still connected.

After searching for a long time in the settlement, Richard found several bundles of edible fungi left by the black crystal worms in the fungus houses.

These edible fungi are rich in nutrients and are slightly toxic to humans, but harmless to black crystal worms.

After looting the settlement, Li found a place to open the secret rift and moved the alchemy golem out.

Since this mission is an underground insect nest, many places are very narrow and it is difficult for humans to get through, let alone a big creature like the Alchemy Golem.

However, the cave where the entire settlement is located is large enough for the alchemical golem to move around, so Richard moved it out to use as a guard.

No one knows whether this group of insects will make a surprise attack. If they come back to kill Richard while he is conducting research, he will be able to deal with it with the warning of the Alchemy Golem.

After setting up the golem, Richard untied the bag around his waist and released Ulysses.

Since there has been no war these days, Ulysses has been staying in the bag. The great wizard is in the floating city, and both Richard and Ulysses are afraid of being discovered.

"Gah! Finally we left that damn place."

Ulises flew out of the pocket, circled in the air a few times, and landed on Richard's shoulder.

"Gah, where is this? It looks like underground."

"It's underground. Go explore the tunnel." Richard pointed to an entrance to the crypt. "Be careful not to hurt yourself."

Although Ulysses is the master of the world, his body is still a level one creature. If he encounters a level two bug, Ulysses has no good way to deal with it.

"Ha, don't worry." Ulysses flew towards the cave entrance, but stopped halfway.

"Gah! You're sending me to do this kind of trifle again!"

Richard waved his hand and pointed to the dead insect beside him.

"I'll leave one for you to try. Go quickly."

……

Richard found a fungus room and dragged the corpse of a spider knight into it.

As a student of Joe Lord, he knew a thing or two about synthetic beasts. The structure of these spider riders felt very strange to him, a bit like two creatures were forcibly spliced ​​together.

Placing the Spider Knight's body on the ground, Richard took out a rune scalpel from his magic pocket.

This scalpel was the one Richard found in the wizard's laboratory. After years of baptism, the enchanted runes on the knife were still shining. After Richard obtained it, he refined the skills in it and enhanced it with current alchemical technology.

Although the wizards' secrecy of knowledge has caused the entire civilization to appear to develop slowly, after so many years of development, the average level of wizard technology in the pioneering period is much higher than the average level of wizard technology at the end of the Enlightenment period.

If the Wizard of Truth could create an institution similar to the Academy's Great Library, it could bring together all the wizarding world's knowledge below the fourth ring for everyone to search and study.

Then the technological level of the entire wizard civilization will achieve a qualitative leap.

Of course, Richard was just thinking about this idea to satisfy his own desire. Without huge external pressure, even the Wizard of Truth would not be able to force the wizard to hand over the results of his research.

The modified scalpel was very sharp, and Richard easily cut through the shell and muscles of the Spider Knight.

Although the death of the Spider Knight and the dissipation of energy circulation in the body, which led to the death of the body's cells, was partly responsible for the ease of movement, the sharpness of the scalpel also played an important role.

After opening the shell, Richard saw the internal structure of the Spider Knight. Muscles, blood vessels, bones, nerves...

Richard separated the corpse in his hand bit by bit, and the various body structures of the Spider Knight were clearly visible in front of him.

And the fact is just as Richard guessed, the Spider Knight is indeed two creatures spliced ​​together.

The upper body of the black crystal worm and the lower body of the spider are completely different creatures. The lower half of the spider body has a complete digestive system, energy circulation system, and thinking organ. But the spider's thinking organ has been invaded by the nerves of the black crystal worm, and the entire thinking organ has lost its original function and turned into a command transfer station.

The commands from the black crystal worm's thinking organ were transmitted along the nerves to the spider knight's thinking organ, and then passed from the spider knight's thinking organ to the spider's lower body.

This transformation was very sophisticated, with extremely precise connections between nerves, and it also achieved the fusion of energy cycles, allowing the Spider Rider to use the eclipse energy. Compared with their transformation, the biological transformation technology that Richard learned from Joe Lord was like a stupid and clumsy machine, with the main feature being the ability to move.

"No wonder so many wizards are flocking to the Plane War, even though it's so dangerous." Richard sighed as he looked at the Spider Knight's body. "There is a lot of knowledge hidden in the Endless Star Realm. Even in the microcosmic world, where the level of civilization is far lower than that of the wizard world, one can learn such exquisite knowledge."

The Spider Knight's body transformation was a great inspiration to Richard. With this corpse, his biological transformation technology was fully raised to a new level. He took out a crystal ball from his magic pocket and recorded the Spider Knight's anatomical structure, leaving it for further study or knowledge exchange with other wizards.

Suddenly, the alarm of the Alchemy Golem was heard outside the door.

"Alert, alert, there is an unknown level 1 creature invading!"

The alchemical golem sounded an alarm loudly, and runes lit up on its stone body. In front of it, two spider knights wearing metal armor entered the crypt from a tunnel.

"We've been discovered, take action!"

The two Spider Knights looked at each other and immediately rushed towards the Alchemical Golem that sounded the alarm.

boom!
Runes on the Alchemical Golem's hands lit up, and with one punch, it used its terrifyingly high-temperature lava fist to knock a Spider Knight back several meters. Its pearly legs plowed several deep grooves on the ground, and its metal armor was burned red, sending a burning smell through the air.

Another Spider Knight took advantage of the Alchemical Golem's attack and came to its side. A layer of dark energy was attached to its four blade arms, and it slashed at the Alchemical Golem fiercely.

With a crisp sound, a diamond-shaped hole was cut out on the side of the alchemical golem, and the alchemical golem's power stone could be seen directly through the hole.

"Stone?" The Spider Knight was stunned. Although he had heard that these monsters from the ground had some special abilities, these things were at least flesh and blood creatures, or at least elemental creatures.

What is this stone? A stone giant?
But before the Spider Knight could figure out what was going on, an order came from behind the Alchemy Golem.

"return."

The Alchemy Golem took thumping steps backwards upon hearing this. The Spider Knight saw a flesh and blood creature in a black robe walking out of the fungus house with a black metal stick in his hand.

"It turned out to be a puppet."

The Spider Knight sneered, and a burst of explosions came from his mouthparts.

"kill him!"

Richard looked at the two spider knights expressionlessly. In his eyes, the two spider knights seemed to suddenly become transparent. After dissecting a spider knight, Richard had a clear understanding of the body structure of this creature.

The two insects rushed towards Richard from the left and the right. The dark energy attached to the eight blade arms drew eight black tracks in the air.

"Ah."

Richard sneered, and two Hearts of Annihilation instantly condensed and flew out from his side, forcing the two Spider Knights to dodge in panic.

Most of these native creatures have wild instincts and are extremely sensitive to danger. Although the Heart of Annihilation looks ordinary, it cannot fool them at all.

However, Richard had no intention of using the Heart of Annihilation to deal with them.

The Heart of Annihilation disrupted the coordination between the two, causing a gap between them. Richard seized the opportunity and took a step forward. The next moment, he rushed to the side of a Spider Knight.

"As modified creatures, your weaknesses are more fatal than those of other creatures."

Richard laughed strangely, his muscles bulged, and he thrust the staff burning with black flames into the Spider Knight's waist. With a "crack", the Spider Knight's shell shattered, and the staff stabbed directly into the Spider Knight's body through the gap, and a "sizzling" sound of burning came from the wound.

"As long as your nerve connection center is damaged, your lower body will be unable to move. And the energy circulation will also be damaged, and the muscles throughout the body will become weak."

Richard calmly drew out his staff, then turned and rushed towards another spider knight.

The Spider Knight had no idea what Richard was talking about, but when he saw his companion suddenly unable to move, he suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart.

What did this monster do?
But the current situation obviously did not allow him to think. He poured the energy in his body into his four arms frantically, and the dark energy on the four blade arms almost turned into substance.

"Go to hell!"

A sharp hissing sound erupted from the Spider Knight's mouthparts, and the blade arms on its four limbs instantly blocked all directions for Richard to escape.

But the next moment, Richard's body suddenly disappeared.

Click.

"Foolish creature."

Richard's voice came from behind Spider Knight.

Shadow Travel is a very useful ability in underground caves.

Richard calmly drew out the staff in his hand, and then silently left the Spider Knight's attack range.

For a short period of time, the two Spider Knights had no ability to resist.

Richard slowly prepared the nerve-paralyzing poison in front of them.

"Two level one creatures, they should be able to fetch a good price."
