The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 149 Secret Realm Promotion Completed
The encirclement of insects was not just a simple layer. In the tunnel, a steady stream of insects were moving towards the Mother Temple settlement.

boom!
Ulises breathed out a stream of fire, burning a group of bugs to ashes.

After burning, Ulises fell on Richard's shoulder, took the magic stone from Richard, and instantly drained the magic power from it.
It had been three days since Richard broke out of the Mother Temple settlement. After breaking through the first encirclement of the bugs, the wizard team began to flee in a scattered manner by taking advantage of the complex tunnel system. During these three days, the team that Richard and Ulysses were in became smaller and smaller, until half a day ago, when they were separated from the last two wizards and completely broken up.

In such a high-intensity battle, even someone as strong as Ulysses had to rely on magic stones to restore his energy.

"Gah, why can't we kill all these bugs?" Ulysses complained.

Richard took out the tunnel map and found his position. According to the map, the straight-line distance between them and the Mother Temple settlement was already longer than the crypt where he was before he received the emergency call-up order.

"It's probably just a coincidence. The bugs don't leave any pheromones on us." Richard replied casually.

"Gah, let's find a place to hide quickly. I've had enough of you beating me this time."

There was some fatigue in Ulises' words. He was the one who dealt with most of the pursuers these days. Although his normal strength had recovered to that of a level two creature, his body was still that of a level one creature. When using energy, he had to be extremely careful, for fear of damaging his body and attracting that old bug.

This also made him mentally exhausted.

After all, he was seriously injured now and was no longer the master of the world as before. The feeling of fatigue in his mortal age once again surged into Ulysses' heart.

How many years has it been since he felt tired?

Ten thousand years? Twenty thousand years?

Ulysses vaguely remembered that the last time he felt so tired was during his demigod period. At that time, the Dark Crows were at war with the Red Flame Crows, and he, a single crow, fought against five demigod Red Flame Crows alone. It was also from that battle that he began his journey to becoming a god.

Thinking about it now, I really miss it!

The sound of insects humming in the tunnel again, and Ulysses had to cheer up and continue flying.

It has been nearly seventy years since he escaped from the clutches of the abyss scum. When he was still a god, this amount of time could have passed in just a nap.

But now it seemed to him as if a long time had passed.

He looked back at Richard… maybe falling into this kid's hands wasn't all bad.

What the immortals fear most is loneliness. A passionate life is a godsend for them.

……

In a cave five kilometers away from Richard, Chong Yinhart sat on the ground with his eyes closed, and the black crystal between his eyebrows kept flashing faint starlight.

Around him, a team of queen insect guards, all of whom have reached level two strength, are guarding on his left and right. A group of spider knights and warrior insects are on the periphery, quietly waiting for the orders from Insect Hart.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and a beam of starlight shot towards Richard.

"Go this way, arrange for the bugs to explore this line of defense, and slow down this wizard monster as much as possible."

"Yes, sir." A silver-armored wizard insect received the order and quickly left the dungeon and arranged for the insects to explore.

Chong Yinhart stood up and stared in the direction of Richard.

At this moment, his gaze seemed to penetrate the thick coating and layers of mycelium and reach Richard.

"Wizard monster, you can't get away this time."

……

boom!
The black crow with black flames spewed out flames from its mouth, instantly turning the tunnel into a purgatory.

A huge spider knight, with black flames on his head, advanced towards the wizard behind the Black Crow like a heavily armored knight.

This is a second-level spider knight. After its life force has been upgraded, the shell on its body can actually resist Ulysses's flame of annihilation for a short period of time.

Behind him, a sacrificial insect had a black crystal on its forehead that was sparkling with starlight. A ray of light shone on the Spider Knight, instantly transforming into a layer of starlight armor.

"Damn it." The wizard cursed in a low voice, "I was found by these bugs again."

Behind the wizard, another group of insects appeared from the other side of the tunnel, led by a silver-armored warrior insect whose arms flashed with terrifying cold light.

"Ulises, you deal with the group of bugs behind first."

After saying this, the wizard waved his staff, and a beam of magic light shot into the ground in front of the Spider Knight, and the solid soil in the tunnel instantly turned into soft mud.

"Fossils to mud!"

After that, the wizard waved his wand and three black fireballs the size of a human head flew out. When the three fireballs approached the Spider Knight, they exploded and turned into three pitch-black spheres.

The Spider Knight was unable to dodge, and his two blade arms fell into the range of the sphere and evaporated instantly.

Ulises flapped his wings, turned around and flew behind Richard, with a sea of ​​fire brewing in his mouth.

"Gah, these bugs are endless!"

I saw a stream of black fire spurting out of the black crow's mouth, like the breath of a dragon, drowning the warrior insect on the opposite side.

He then took advantage of the situation to fly into the sea of ​​fire, and thrust out his sharp claws.

Pfft!

Green mucus spurted out from between the brows of the silver-armored warrior worm, splashing half of the cave wall.

Black Crow then turned around and came to the Spider Knight again.

Seeing this, the black crystal between its brows was about to shoot out a starlight seal. But suddenly, there was a dull sound of wind, and a black staff burning with black flames fell from the air, and the wizard's figure suddenly appeared in the shadow behind the sacrificial insect.

Click!

The Black Crow also took advantage of the situation to pass through the Spider Knight's layers of sword shadows and crushed the black crystal between his eyebrows with one claw.

"Huh...what day is it?"

Richard leaned on his staff, his mind dizzy. These days of sleepless escapes, coupled with the occasional battles, made him a little distracted.

If this continues, he will have to rely on spell marks to cast spells.

"Gah, the seventh day."

Ulises fell on Richard's shoulder and said in the same tired voice.

These days were also a test for him. Many of the enemies Richard encountered were level 2 creatures. Although Ulises always easily dealt with them, in fact, each kill took up a lot of his energy to calculate. After all, he was only a level 2 creature now, and his physical fitness was not as good as these bugs.

Richard took out the map. At this moment, they were only about ten kilometers away from the Source Sea Abyss in a straight line. If everything went smoothly, they could cover this distance in half a day.

"Let's go, Ulises, we are almost at the Source Sea Abyss."

……

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Chong Yinhart knelt on the ground and made a prayer gesture.

"May all the warriors return to the embrace of the Queen Insect God!"

After the prayer, a warrior bug stepped forward and reported the movements of Richard and the other two to Bug Inhart.

"Sir, we have stuck to that wizard monster."

As he spoke, the warrior worm brought a map worm to the worm Hart and marked Richard's approximate location on it.

The map worm is the rarest of the black crystal worms. It can memorize the complex terrain of the worm nest and store it in its thinking organ. Moreover, any worm can access the map worm's thinking organ through neural connections, view the map, and leave "marks" on it.

Every time a queen worm produces a map worm, it consumes a small warehouse of food and three hours of her time.

If it were to produce ordinary insect eggs in three hours, producing hundreds of thousands would not be a problem.

Moreover, most of the bugs will never leave his colony in their entire lives, and map worms are basically useless to them. Such an expensive production cost, coupled with such a small application scope, also leads to the fact that there are only a few map worms in the insect nest.

This also means that most of the insects transferred from other settlements can easily get lost in the hive because they are unfamiliar with the terrain.

This is also the reason why Richard and the other two can leave frequently.

"This location!"

Chong Yinhart looked at the mark on the map and was suddenly shocked.

He connected the traces left by Richard along the way into a line, and then extended it backwards... At the end of the line, a blank space appeared in front of Chong Yinhart.

Source sea abyss!

He also wanted to escape with the help of the Source Sea Abyss!

After breaking away from the map worm's neural link, Wormheart immediately gave the order to act.

This time he must catch this wizard monster!

……

In the dark tunnel, a group of warrior insects were flying rapidly, and the sound of flapping wings continued to echo along the tunnel.

"Speed ​​up! That wizard monster is dead this time!"

At the end of the tunnel, the sound of spell explosions continued to come into the tunnel.

A wizard in black robes kept swinging out black fireballs, blasting the approaching insects into pieces. But for every one he killed, two more would fill the empty space.

"Ulises! Are you okay?"

Richard endured the headache and kept taking out magic stones from his magic pocket and stuffing them into his body.

After nearly ten days of sleepless running, Richard's mental strength was almost exhausted, and at this moment he was relying solely on his willpower to persevere.

He couldn't understand how these bugs could always find him.

Suddenly, a black crow flew out of the tunnel behind Richard, holding a huge insect head in its claws. Richard grabbed a handful of magic stones and threw them into the air. The black crow flapped its wings and collected all the magic stones. Then it opened its beak and instantly spurted out a sea of ​​black fire.

Temporarily cleared the bugs around Richard.

"Gah, the big guy blocking the road is solved!"

Richard turned around and left without hesitation. As long as he entered the abyss of the source sea, everything would be over.

Flying close to the ground along the tunnel, Richard could even feel the hot wind of life from the abyss of the source sea echoing in the tunnel.

Go forward and everything will end...

"Wizard monster, long time no see!"

A voice shattered Richard's fantasy, and Ulysses rushed in front of him and blocked a starlight seal.

At the end of the road, a figure with holy light shining on his body stood there, and beside him were four queen insect guards whose shells had turned dark red-gold.

The surging life radiation told him that the four queen insect guards were all level two creatures.

Ulises broke free from the Starlight Seal and landed on Richard's shoulder.

"Can it be solved?" Richard asked bitterly.

The Source Sea Abyss was only 500 meters away from him, and he could reach it in an instant under normal circumstances, but now it seemed like an insurmountable chasm.

"Ha, if that God's Chosen One wasn't there, I could solve it even if my injuries got worse..." Ulises paused, his voice filled with fatigue and weakness, "But with that God's Chosen One here, as long as I use my soul power, that old bug will be able to sense it.

We will still die then.”

"Then there's nothing we can do?" Richard smiled bitterly, ready to fight to the death.

Even if he died, he had to die on the battlefield, not be sacrificed on the altar like a pig.

Chong Yinhart looked at the man and the bird in front of him and felt extremely happy.

After ten days of chasing and sacrificing the lives of hundreds of insects, he finally cornered the wizard monster.

But he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why did the wizard monster's expression suddenly change, as if he heard some good news.

The next moment, the wizard monster took out a crystal ball, and a space crack appeared out of thin air, from which a huge mycelium tentacle emerged.

"Boss, Boss! Big Mushroom asked me to tell you that the secret realm upgrade is over!"
