The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 373 Green Hell

There was peace in the dense forest.

A black crow flew through the forest like a streak of black lightning. Behind him, besides a black-robed wizard following closely in his footsteps, there were only vines like a tide.

Boom!

The black-robed wizard casually threw out a fireball, blasting away the vines that were approaching him. The flames, powerful enough to melt steel, spread rapidly along the vines, seemingly turning this tidal ocean of vines into a sea of ​​fire.

But the strange thing was that although the flames were spreading, the flames that should have been burning fiercely because of the vines were getting smaller and smaller as they spread.

It was as if an invisible big mouth was swallowing it.

The black-robed wizard saw this scene and frowned. He sighed in his heart: "What kind of monster did the forerunners create?"

The black-robed wizard was Richard. Ever since he entered the dense forest that had not been plowed by the white wizard army's magic, he felt like he had entered the belly of a giant creature.

Everything around him was against him.

Snapped!
Richard slapped a bug that tried to stick to him and crushed it to pieces.

He had been in this dense forest for half a day. During this time, apart from the tide of vines chasing him, what he saw most were insects - all kinds of insects.

From thumb-sized alien mosquitoes, to fist-sized flying poisonous ladybugs, to flying centipedes as big as venomous snakes.

All of these insects are highly poisonous and have strong mouthparts.

When they first entered the jungle, Richard was thinking about how the scales on his body could keep away the bugs.

But after seeing the concentrated acidic digestive fluid sprayed out of the alien mosquito's mouthparts, and a palm-sized longhorn beetle biting open its scales with its mouthparts, Richard felt that it would be better for him to take action.

After all, most of the things in this place are biological weapons left behind by the pioneers. If you underestimate them, you will only hurt yourself.

In the eyes of the pioneers, level three creatures are not considered powerful.

"Ulises, how far is it?" Richard asked loudly ahead.

"Gah, if we keep going at this speed, we'll be there in half a day."

Hearing this answer, Richard couldn't help but sigh. He glanced at the vines behind him that had completely engulfed the flames and were about to make a comeback, and waved his staff lightly.

The next moment, a layer of invisible airflow wrapped around his body, and his speed increased instantly.

"Forget it, let's find a place first."

……

Richard was not the only one who entered the jungle.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck down, shaking the branches and leaves in the forest.

"What a weird thing. I wonder how much the Lost Ones transformed it back then."

The thunder disappeared, revealing an iron-gray figure holding a giant hammer and a staff. This figure was still wrapped in tiny lightning, and the slightest movement could be seen arcing in the air.

Not far in front of him, lightning was flowing between the branches of a small old tree.

Obviously, the thunder just now was caused by this old tree.

Seeing that the creature was not killed by the first strike, lightning flashed between the branches of the old tree, as if a new thunder was brewing.

But when Stio saw this, he just smiled grimly. The next moment, a big black hand emerged from the foot of the old tree and pulled it up by the roots.

Looking closely at the big black hand, I saw that it was actually grains of iron sand gathered together.

Off the ground, the old tree was like a fish out of water, and soon became silent.

Stio casually opened a secret crack, threw the old tree in, and then took out a communication crystal ball from his pocket.

When he saw the direction of the crystal ball was still changing, he frowned slightly:
"It's still moving. How big is that thing?"

At the same time, almost all three-ring wizards who entered the dense forest encountered trouble.

Some encountered large tracts of carnivorous plants, with huge mouthparts hidden under dense bushes, each of which could secrete digestive juices that could melt gold and eliminate iron.

Some encountered large areas of aggressive plants covered with sharp thorns. Once they encountered a living creature, they would spit out the thorns to hunt prey.

These spikes are quite powerful, each with a power of one thousand energy levels. And if the prey is not dead, these plants will even focus their fire.

In addition, there are hanging trees that are powerful enough to hang a second-ring wizard, poisonous fog trees that can spray poisonous fog, zombie mushrooms that spray psychedelic spores... and that's not all.

In addition to plants, some of these wizards encountered poisonous centipedes as big as pythons, whose venomous mist could dissolve energy shields that were strong enough to resist 5,000-level spells; others encountered giant spiders whose webs covered an entire forest area;

There are also swarms of poisonous bees, each of which can kill a first-level creature; energy-eating mosquitoes that can absorb the magic power of the magic barrier; and unknown poisonous insects that can make a third-level creature dizzy with one bite...

Almost all the three-ring wizards were glad that they were here.

If it were a first- or second-ring wizard, no matter how many wizards there were, they would not be enough.

This place is a green hell, with deadly things everywhere. Even the weeds on the ground can bite you.

……

In the dense forest, Richard followed Ulysses and continued to move forward.

"Just cross the lake ahead and you'll be there."

"lake?"

Richard was confused, and the next moment his mental power passed through the dense forest and came to an open area.

A lake like an emerald appeared in his mind. "No, why is there a lake in this place?"

How could a lake appear in this place when there are neither mountains nor rivers?

The next moment, Richard felt a pain in his head, and he couldn't help but retract his outward mental power.

Someone attacked him mentally.

Before he could react, he heard a crisp sound of branches breaking in the forest, and a strange black creature with a body like a spider but three scorpion-like tails jumped out of the forest. Its strength had reached the peak of a third-level creature.

"Ulises!" Richard called out sharply.

Although he thought he could deal with the bug, this place was not a good place to stay for long.

Complete the task as soon as possible and leave this damn place as soon as possible.

The most suitable method to deal with this forest is the concentrated spell fire of the White Wizard Legion.

No matter whether you are a carnivorous plant or a poisonous insect, I will blow you all to ashes.

But Ulises' response surprised him.

"Solve it yourself first. If you can't solve it, escape to the secret realm. I'm in trouble here too."

Hearing Ulises' answer, Richard immediately thought of what had happened just now.

If nothing unexpected happened, Ulysses should be fighting the creature that launched a soul attack on him.

"Forget it, just treat it as a test of the results of my practice." Richard whispered.

After saying that, Richard's magic power surged in his body, and his aura suddenly became like a mountain.

The strange creature that was attacking saw Richard's changes, and its pair of compound eyes instantly locked onto Richard's body.

In the eyes of this strange creature, Richard's movements continued to slow down, and every detail could be clearly captured by it. The instinct deep in its blood allowed it to instantly find the flaws in Richard's movements.

The next moment, the strange creature's scorpion tail swung violently, and the spike flashing with purple poisonous light rushed towards Richard's left rib.

If he had been stabbed hard, not to mention how serious the injury would be, the poison from the wound alone would have been enough to make Richard drink a pot of poison.

But Richard was not in a hurry. Although the sting was aimed at his weak spot, his ten years of training were not in vain.

He just turned his body to the side and gently slapped the scorpion's tail with his left hand, thus avoiding the lightning strike.

Immediately afterwards, magical power surged in Richard's body and his figure suddenly disappeared.

The strange creature's compound eyes moved left and right, and its gaze locked onto the disappearing Richard.

Richard had already come behind the strange creature, ready to kill it with one punch, but before he could make any move, the three scorpion tails stabbed at him like lightning.

Dang Dang Dang!
A layer of golden light with runes flowing on it appeared on Richard's body, and he easily blocked the scorpion's tail.

This layer of light is the monk's skill of Changshan Temple - the golden arm. After using it, it can make the arms as hard as gold. After Richard learned it, he reconstructed it based on the original version with the knowledge of wizards, turning this monk's skill into the Vajra Body he uses now.

Seeing that the scorpion's tail failed to work, the strange creature's body began to shake violently, as if trying to shake Richard off its back.

Intense high-frequency vibrations entered Richard's body through the shell, and Richard was horrified to find that his energy circulation showed signs of disorder due to these vibrations.

"No, it has to be solved as soon as possible!"

He shouted loudly and punched the shell under him with his right arm.

"drink!"

The next moment, a mental shock instantly stopped the strange creature from trembling.

Then, a force like a mountain pressing down on one's head tore open its shell. The violent force instantly crushed the organs inside the shell into paste.

boom!
The body of the strange creature fell to the ground, and the energy circulation in its body began to rapidly weaken.

Richard let out a long breath: "Huh, it's over."

After saying this, he decided to take this strange creature into the secret realm as a specimen.

But before he could do anything, he heard a violent sonic boom behind him.

clang!
Richard's body flew out like a cannonball. Behind him, the three scorpion tails seemed to have fallen into some kind of frenzy and began to frantically attack the surrounding environment.

"Cough cough."

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Richard's mouth. Although he used the Vajra Body at the last moment, it was used hastily after all, and the huge force of the scorpion tail still caused him some internal injuries.

But at this moment, there was no anger or fear on his face. On the contrary, his expression was very excited.

Richard licked his lips and looked at the corpse of the strange creature greedily.

"Symbiote... it's a good thing."

Symbiote is a technology of the alchemy school's synthetic beast branch. This technology allows multiple synthetic beasts to be aggregated together to form a more powerful and comprehensive synthetic beast.

And now this strange creature, even though the spider's body is almost dead, its scorpion tail is still attacking non-stop, and its attack power remains undiminished.

This is beyond the scope of tail docking or neural reflex.

And most importantly, Richard's energy vision saw a complete energy cycle on the scorpion's tail.

"Such a complex energy cycle, this thing must have quite a lot of technical content." Richard muttered to himself as he looked at the scorpion's tail, "And this energy cycle...why does it look so much like it was deliberately designed?"
