The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 145 Mother Temple

Although the city is heavily guarded, there are still many opportunities for wizards to sneak in.

For example, growing on the edge of the city and growing fungal tree houses inhabited by insects gave Richard a good opportunity.

With the help of shadow shuttle and shadow infiltration, Richard successfully avoided the patrol of the flying moth army and entered the city. Lawrence used shadow magic to cover Ellie and entered the city together.

But this is only the first step.

Richard gestured to Lawrence and Ellie, and the three of them quickly shuttled through the giant fungi and soon entered the construction area.

The bugs living in this area are all old bugs. These bugs are very old, have made many contributions to the insect nest, and have rich experience in their respective positions. The insect country gathers them here so that they can refer to their opinions when formulating any strategy.

However, it seemed that because the Insect Kingdom was close to the front line, Richard did not see any old insects except the warrior insects.

"Something's wrong."

Richard looked at the samurai bugs walking between the buildings and felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

Although this place is close to the front line, it is not the main attack direction after all, so it seems unnecessary for the insects to transfer all the auxiliary insects to the rear.

Richard gestured to the other two to be careful, then entered the construction area and headed towards the pyramid.

In the shadow of the sandstone building, Richard quietly watched a team of queen guards walk past him.

For a first-level bug, shadow sneaking is a hidden skill that cannot be seen through.

Opposite him, Lawrence blended himself completely into the shadows, while Ellie relied on invisibility, camouflage, and breath concealment to avoid the search.

Although Richard was salivating over the team of queen guards in front of him, he knew that now was not the time to take action.

Their goal is to disrupt the insects' vision around the pyramid, which is the insects' mother temple. Taking action now will only make things worse.

Dodging the patrol, the three continued on their way to the Mother Temple.

At the foot of the Mother Goddess Temple, a team of transport insects continuously entered the Mother Goddess Temple from the main gate. These transport insects carried a mountain of food on their backs and stepped steadily into the temple.

What they transport is food for the queen insects, which need a constant supply of food to produce new insects.

Suddenly, a ball of fire flew out from the grain and hit a sacrificial insect that was checking the grain.

boom!
The blazing flames instantly blew the sacrificial insect into pieces.

At the same time, countless black shadows emerged from the residential area. In an instant, spells flew everywhere. The insect troops guarding the Mother Temple were caught off guard, and nearly half of the outer guard troops were lost in an instant.

"Enemy attack! Wizard monster attack, protect the Mother Temple!"

A warrior insect wearing silver metal armor made a sharp explosion, then spread its wings behind it and instantly appeared next to a wizard.

In an instant, two cold rays flashed by, and the wizard who was attacked didn't even have time to react before he was chopped into minced meat.

The gap between level one creatures and level two creatures is too huge, and ordinary wizards cannot kill monsters of higher levels.

But no matter how powerful the silver-armored beetle is, it is still just a bug after all.

When several dark wizards saw him, they immediately focused their spells on him: lightning, fire, aurora... almost instantly destroying half of the silver-armored beetle's body.

The silver-armored beetle let out a loud bang, and flesh and blood surged from its body, and two limbs grew out in an instant.

He looked at the dark wizards, his dark eyes gleaming with a hint of blood.

"Wizard! Die!"

The next moment, the silver-armored beetle flapped its wings behind it and instantly rushed into the middle of several wizards. For a moment, cold light flashed everywhere. Even though it only had one knife arm, it cut the two wizards into pieces in the blink of an eye.

But his bravery did not last for a second, as a figure burning with black flames flashed past him and instantly took away his head.

"Gah, the head of a level 2 bug smells so good!"

Ulysses flew into the Mother Temple and then landed on the shoulder of a black-robed wizard.

"Gah, this is the temple of that old bug. How dare you, a bunch of random people, break in?" Ulysses checked the surroundings and asked in surprise.

He had just been released from the bag by Richard and had not yet realized that he was in the temple of the Queen Insect God.

"Just saving people." Richard said lightly.

According to the plan, these first-ring wizards were mainly responsible for attracting firepower from the wizards who went deep into the Mother Temple, dispersing as many insect forces as possible, and disrupting the insects' vision.

"Hey, Richard, do you want to make a big fortune?" Ulysses suddenly asked Richard with a gleam in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Richard frowned.

"Ha, I feel the power of faith in the temple. If you can bring some over here, even if the old bug's incarnation comes, I can block it for you!" Ulysses said arrogantly.

"Hmm? Wouldn't purifying the power of faith make your injuries worse?"

Richard looked at Ulysses suspiciously. This black bird never gets up early without profit, and he has his own little thoughts. How could he be so active in such a self-interested thing? "Ha, isn't this yours?" Ulysses laughed strangely, "Your furnace can even produce laws, so it's not easy to purify the power of faith. If you get some pure power of faith, you will be safe, and I can also use some methods from the God period. It's a win-win situation!"

Richard thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Ulysses said.

"You lead the way. We don't have much time. We must find the power of faith before we save everyone."

"Gah, make sure there's plenty of time!"

……

Deep in the temple, a group of black-robed wizards were moving rapidly along the tunnel towards a certain target.

They are the main force of this operation - the second-ring black wizards.

Led by the puppet wizard, this group of people rushed through the temple and headed straight for the dungeon where the wizard was imprisoned.

The environment of the temple is intricate and there are hidden paths in many places that are not in line with wizards' common sense.

When the wizard team passed the corner, they saw a team of golden queen insect guards emerging from somewhere and flapping their wings towards them.

boom!
A wizard waved his hand and shot out a jet of fire. The dark red flames instantly burned the insects that blocked them into ashes.

This narrow passage is best suited for a spell like this.

But before the flames dissipated, a queen insect guard whose shell had turned red-gold flashed out, with a pair of blade arms emitting dazzling golden light.

This is actually a level 2 Queen Guard!

Snapped!
The magic barrier was broken, and the wizard who emitted a jet of flames was instantly cut in half by the golden light.

But before it could move again, bursts of metallic friction sounds were heard in the air, and a giant metal python emerged from under a wizard's robe and instantly entangled the insect. Metal spikes with runes on them emerged from the python's body, and then the python's body shrank, instantly strangling the queen insect's guards.

After strangling the insect, the giant metal python returned to the wizard's robe with the insect's body. The wizard looked at the puppet wizard and asked calmly:

"Declan, why didn't you save him?"

Upon hearing this, the puppet wizard glanced at the wizard, and a powerful magical wave emanated from his body.

"I don't need to explain anything to you. A wizard was killed by natives face to face. He deserved to die!"

The wizards fell silent upon hearing this. Dark wizards have always respected strength, and right now the puppet wizard is very powerful, so no one said anything even though he is domineering.

But several wizards who were familiar with Declan had some ideas at this moment.

"Is this person really Declan?"

rumbling...

Deep in the temple, a stone door slowly opened, and a golden-armored warrior insect walked out, then knelt down beside a black-robed wizard.

"My Lord, the matter has been resolved. The high priest has been poisoned, and the other priests have been attracted by your men. Now the treasure room has no guards except me."

The black-robed wizard reached out his hand and gently touched the head of the golden-armored warrior worm. At first glance, this hand looked no different from an ordinary person's hand, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a slight gap at the joint of this hand, through which you can see a spherical joint.

"Number One, you did a great job." The puppet wizard looked at his puppet with satisfaction.

In order to make this third-level golden armor warrior insect into a puppet, he spent a lot of treasures. But now it seems that everything is worth it.

The puppet wizard passed through the stone door. Behind the stone door was a hall. In the innermost part of the hall was a huge statue. The statue looked like a huge black crystal worm. In front of the statue were four golden platforms. The materials of these platforms were pure gold. Only such precious materials were worthy of the things they contained.

Each of these four platforms contains a treasure left by the Mother Insect God.

"Hehehe, four of these are the remains of the Mother Insect God. Even the great wizards would be jealous if they knew about this."

The puppet wizard walked into the hall with a strange smile, and then came to the golden platform.

The four relics of the Mother Insect God are the golden insect carapace - the Armor of the Insect God, the golden blade arm - the Blade of the Insect God, the fist-sized golden amber - the Blood of the Insect God, and the golden egg - the Egg of the Insect God - which the puppet wizard has never taken his eyes off since entering the hall.

Some of these four relics of the Mother Insect God are owned by the Black Mushroom Insect Kingdom itself, while others were brought from the occupied Insect Kingdoms. There are not many such treasures in the entire Insect Nest World, and a single Insect Kingdom may have only two or three at most.

The puppet wizard looked at the insect god egg greedily. It was said that this thing was an attempt made by the mother insect god before she gave birth to the mother insect. It was a product made by the mother insect god in a one-to-one imitation of herself. It contained the original blood of the mother insect god and the rules of the mother insect god, especially the rules!

It is said that the rules contained in this relic of the Queen Insect God can allow the Queen Insect to lay more eggs.

Time was running out, and the puppet wizard didn't admire it for long before reaching out to take the insect god's egg from the table.

But the moment his fingers touched the insect god's egg, a ray of starlight instantly flew out from the egg and hit the puppet wizard's body.

"Starlight Seal!"

The puppet wizard's face suddenly changed, and the magic power in his body surged, trying to break free from the seal.

But the next moment, a net of starlight lifted up the puppet wizard's feet and trapped him in the center.
