Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 13 Humanoid Python
"What about the rest?"

When Roy came to his senses, Renien and others had disappeared inexplicably.

Looking at Sophia and Celine in front, they were also like smoke dissipating.

In a moment, they disappeared out of thin air.

Roy felt a chill in his heart and got goosebumps, as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

"where are you?"

He tried to call out softly, but received no response.

The silent and deserted garden has a quiet atmosphere. When other people were there, it didn't seem unusual, but when I was alone, it seemed to become inexplicably terrifying.

He gradually felt himself surrounded by a chill like a gloomy cold air, and more goose bumps appeared on his body.

"Calm down, please stay calm!
It's impossible for a healthy person to just disappear for no reason.

Moreover, even Sophia disappeared, so she shouldn't have been attacked by some monster.

It could be a mental illusion!"

Roy forced himself to calm down and thought in his heart.

Snake Fruit is a special product with psychedelic effects. Normally, it will only cause hallucinations after being eaten.

But there are also special methods, such as making fine wine, or adding alcohol or something like that, which can extract the essence and release the scent.

In the old days, when there were still proper wizards alive in the tower, they loved to make fine wine out of this stuff.

But now, after an accident occurred in the forbidden experiment in the small world, the witchcraft energy radiated and polluted the outside world.

The earth veins here may be affected, resulting in a large-scale psychedelic environment.

This might be the situation you are facing.

Hahahaha……

At this moment, Roy suddenly heard inexplicable laughter again.

The sound, as if someone was fighting, was getting closer and closer.

Gradually, I even seemed to smell an inexplicable fishy sweetness in my nose.

It tastes like fermented rice wine, with a hint of rotten apple.

Roy couldn't help but waver and gradually became dazed.

It was a strange feeling that was neither a dream nor a reality, like a person feeling sleepy. He clearly realized that something was wrong, but was completely powerless to resist.

He felt the ground he was stepping on was soft and sticky. He looked down and was horrified to find that he had walked into a quagmire without knowing when.

What was under his feet was a bloody and unidentified object.

It was a mixture of blood and flesh, a sickening scarlet color, and had a strong smell of rust.

Not far away, several hideous snakes with human heads appeared, winding their way closer.

Their bodies were a strange red, as if they were also made of a mixture of blood and flesh, spread out on the ground, with only their heads still retaining a human appearance.

The eyes of these big snakes were empty and lifeless, as if they were staring at him, but seemed to have no focus at all.

"Oh no, I'm surrounded by monsters!"

Roy stepped back subconsciously.

But the humanoid pythons gathered together, five in total, completely blocking the escape route.

Seeing this, Roy decisively pressed the mechanism on his arm armor.

A jet tube extended, the high-pressure gas cylinder was activated, and acid sprayed out.

Ah!
It was as if a miserable scream pierced through the meninges, like the howl of a banshee piercing the brain.

After the python in front came into contact with the acid, it began to twist in pain and dissolved rapidly.

Roy didn't have time to think about it, and immediately took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and ran several kilometers in one breath.

He didn't stop until the fog gradually dissipated, still in shock and panting.

"Wait, what were those just now?
I haven’t learned about this in general education classes. It seems like an unknown entity created by a mental illusion, most likely a twisted spiritual entity…” Only then did he suddenly realize that he had really been hypnotized by the illusion.

"I had clearly decided to stay where I was and remain calm, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to stay awake at all!"

There was no time to feel upset or regretful. The only remaining conscious mind told Roy that he had not yet walked out of this illusion.

Still trapped in it, still in danger!
As the smell of fermented wine from rotten apples reached me, my consciousness was about to blur again...

The fresh and natural scent of cattail water suddenly appears!

The special calming effect gave it a kind of mysterious magic, making his mind clear and his vision gradually clearer.

Roy suddenly realized that the perfume he made actually had a sobering effect!

He has been making money from this kind of perfume recently, so naturally he has made a lot of it.

Even when I go out, I carry it with me and spray some on my body.

I didn't expect it to work.

"Could it be that the reason I always had a little clarity before was because of its effect?"

Roy quickly took out the perfume, sprayed it on his hands, and covered his mouth and nose to resist the smell of rotten apples.

Sure enough, the feeling of being trapped melted away quickly like thin snow encountering the scorching sun.

He finally saw the truth around him.

His three companions were lying in disarray not far away.

In the video, Niya was covered in blood, having been slashed by Reinien.

Andov was sprayed with corrosive liquid, fell into a coma, struggled in pain, and had large areas of ulcers on his face and neck.

Roy walked forward with a little surprise and checked Andov's face.

It was obvious that he was injured by his own mechanism.

This young man, who originally had an ordinary appearance and a few freckles on his face, has now completely become pockmarked.

Even one of his eyes was blind, and his left eye was rotten like a rotten lychee.

"The first battle was not going well, and we dealt a heavy blow to our teammates..."

He was in a mess.

The acid in the arm armor mechanism was originally prepared to deal with the enemy, but unexpectedly, it was tasted by the teammates first.

"Forget it, don't worry about it for now, just get them out first!
It's dangerous to stay here. If I stay here for too long, I'm afraid I'll die drunkenly in my sleep!"

He quickly cheered himself up, moved everyone to the orchard entrance, and then simply bandaged and treated their injuries.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Sophia came back again, looking a little surprised.

"Why did you come out?"

"Senior, we were just hallucinating." Roy took the initiative to explain what happened just now.

After listening to this, Sophia pondered: "Just the smell of those contaminated snake fruits rotting and fermenting has created this large-scale mental illusion.

It is no longer a level zero resource point, but a first-level resource point at the official wizard level.

The snake fruit produced may also produce some special mutations."

Only then did Roy notice that Sophia was holding a bag of fruit in her left hand and the unconscious Celine in her right hand, just like holding a chicken.

She asked with great interest: "How do you resist this illusion?
I underestimated this place before, otherwise I wouldn't have let you into the garden."

"I used the calming cattail incense I made myself, and it seems to be helping!"

Roy boasted about it and happened to come out this time with a bottle, so he showed it to her immediately.

Sophia sniffed it carefully, then put the bottle into her pocket without hesitation.
