I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Chapter 22 Angry White Swan

Even though his body was covered with blood moths, he said he was about to catch them.

There is definitely something wrong with these people’s cognition!

That question couldn't help but echo in Roland's mind again - the Baron has been here so many times, doesn't he know how dangerous this place is?

Catherine is so familiar with the Baron, doesn't she know what's here?

So why would they bring a few apprentices with them into the Fern Forest?
Roland thought to himself, "If this place can affect perception, then will the mentor's spiritual perception range and Anna and Nar's tracking range also be affected? Perhaps this is an opportunity to escape!"

Roland concealed his presence and watched Anna leave. Then, as if he was searching for blood moths, he headed towards the woods in the south with a normal expression.

Every time he encountered a blood moth, Roland would tap the wallet on his waist and let it deal with the blood moth, trying to understand the wallet.

Soon, Roland discovered that this wallet had a certain interval when eating, and it really liked the Abyss Blood Moth.

So, if you throw your wallet into a group of blood moths, will they just eat it and not return it to you?
Worth trying.

As long as I can buy some time and escape from the mentor's perception range, I will have a chance to escape.

Roland walked a long way, as if he had fallen behind because of greed. When he walked far enough, he threw away his wallet without hesitation and ran towards the outside of the woods.

On the way, Roland counted the time silently. When he counted to 30, he suddenly felt a slight heaviness in his waist and heard a burst of laughter.

'My wallet is back on my waist!'

Roland immediately reached out, grabbed the wallet, and threw it far away.

Thirty breaths later, the wallet returned. Roland pounced again, grabbed the wallet, and threw it away again.

This time, the wallet opened its mouth in mid-air and extended its giant tongue. Roland reached for the sword at his waist.

He drew the sword, struck, and sheathed it in one go, and the tongue was cut into two pieces!

The wallet let out a laugh, but Roland continued to run away without stopping.

But after 30 breaths, the wallet reappeared, and its tongue grew back!
This time, the wallet did not appear on Roland's waist, but appeared above Roland's head!
It opens its mouth and swallows!
Roland's pupils changed drastically, and in a hurry, a Valeria sword technique move appeared in his mind.

——Swish, swish, swish, swish
Roland's body left a shadow, dodging the giant tongue, and at this moment stabbed the wallet with several swords!
The outer cover of the wallet seemed to be extremely tough. After being hit by several swords from a high-level swordsman, it remained completely unscathed.

But it was knocked away more than ten meters.

In that direction, there are several giant trees where a large number of blood moths gather.

The wallet landed there, startling a swarm of blood moths. They flew over angrily, but the wallet in mid-air giggled and stuck out its tongue, attracting more blood moths.

For a moment, Wallet was only focused on eating the blood moth and no longer paid any attention to Roland.

"My bet was right!" Roland was overjoyed, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he released arcs of electricity towards several large trees near the wallet.

[Sleight of Hand: Arc II (23/1000)]

[Explanation: This trick can already cause minor damage. If it reaches the next level... Who says tricks can't kill people?]

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency +1]

This little trick actually flew several meters in Roland's hand, startling a large number of hidden blood moths.

Suddenly, blood moths filled the sky, circling like a dense swarm of bees. Some surrounded the wallet, while others flew towards Roland.

Roland was secretly horrified and ran away at full speed towards the exit of the forest.

After more than ten minutes, he got rid of the blood moth that was chasing him, and his wallet was never returned.

'I'm finally free from my chains!'

Roland thought to himself, "The team has only been in the fern forest for two hours, so the journey out of the forest is not far. I have already run a long distance, and I will be out in ten minutes!"

At this moment, Roland suddenly felt the shadow under his feet moving faintly.

The high-level swordsman's keen sense made him aware of the abnormality on the ground. He quickly moved away and stood in the grass where the sun was shining.

Gurgle…

The surrounding shadows began to bubble with black water like a swamp, and then tentacles emerged from the shadows, their upper bodies crawling out.

Roland looked closely and saw that they were four blood moths as big as humans.

These four big blood moths were able to emerge from the shadows, and their antennae were covered with tiny eyes, which was different from any blood moths I had seen before.

In other words, these four are mature.

After four blood moths emerged from the shadows, they floated to the three trees around Roland, looking harmless. It was as if they would not move unless Roland moved.

Roland's expression grew more serious. He looked at the sunlight on the grass beneath his feet, then at the shadows surrounding it, and thought to himself, "Wallace once said that blood moths can only fly in the shadows. So I'm safe standing in the sunlight."
"I don't know what special abilities these four things have, but time is running out. I haven't been back for so long, my mentor must have sent someone to look for me."
At this moment, Roland vaguely felt that something was wrong with a blood moth. With an arc of electricity flashing in his hand, he struck it.

The blood moth suddenly shattered and disappeared like a bubble.

Illusion—In a flash, Roland suddenly realized something. He rolled forward and shot a chain of lightning towards the shadow behind him.

[Arcane: Chain Lightning II (26/1000)]

[Effect: Call upon the power of thunder, releasing it from both hands, striking 1-5 distant enemies (Level 2), dealing 1-6 lightning damage to the first enemy.]

Cha La La La
Fierce lightning struck Roland's shadow, which twitched a few times like a dead insect, and a burnt blood moth fell off.

It turned out that although there was sunlight on the grass, Roland himself had a shadow, and this shadow was connected to the shadows around the grass. Therefore, the blood moth could crawl onto his body through the shadow.

They seemed to be waiting for Roland to enter the shadows, but in reality, they were paralyzing their prey.

If Roland hadn't dodged in time, he would have been stuck to the blood moths. Once stuck, their tentacles would have pierced into his flesh like leeches, killing him and making it impossible to shake him off!

After hitting the first target, the lightning chain did not stop, but connected the dead blood moth in Roland's shadow with the blood moths on three large trees not far away.

Cha La La La
Cha La La La
Cha La La La
The strong light of the chain lightning illuminated the surrounding shadows and successfully hit all the blood moths. The air was filled with the smell of burnt meat!

As a low-level apprentice who encountered this kind of monster for the first time, Roland judged its movements at the moment before the enemy made a move, and in an instant, he used his mental power to lock the other enemies together.

The most important thing is that in such an urgent situation and with such a complicated operation, his spell was actually released successfully!
This calmness, sharpness and responsiveness are like those of a seasoned demon hunter.

If a certain mentor was watching through a crystal ball, he would certainly not be able to help but stare at Baron Hall beside her with wide eyes.

As the bright light of lightning slowly faded, several blood moths fell to the ground from the tree while twitching.

But one of the blood moths was not completely dead. After twitching for a moment, it merged into the shadows and disappeared.

'Oops! '

Roland thought to himself that something was wrong, but he didn't stop moving his hands.

I saw the long sword in his hand hanging down, the blade passed along his left shoulder and around his right shoulder, his head was upright, and several sword shadows were drawn around his body to protect his whole body.

There is no such move in Valeria's swordsmanship, or even in most swordsmanship.

This is the scalp-wrapping knife Roland used in a hurry, imitating a scene from a movie!

This move looks like a weird one used randomly in a hurry, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that it is very ingenious and practical!
Roland used his head wrap to protect his body while using telepathy to sense any abnormalities around him. After a moment, he stopped and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

'The blood moth didn't come any closer. It ran away.'

Roland leaped over ten meters away, raised his sword and slashed at the shadow on the ground. Then, the shadow on the ground squirmed a few times, revealing a blood moth that was split in half.

It turned out that the surviving blood moth had not attacked Roland at all, but had fled after being seriously injured.

At this moment, a tongue suddenly emerged from Roland's waist and ate the corpse on the ground.

Roland looked down in astonishment and found that the wallet had returned to him at some unknown time.

“Why didn’t the wallet eat me the first time?”

Roland looked around hurriedly, and soon, he saw a pair of beautiful long legs on a tree not far away - they were really long! These legs were nearly two meters long!
Looking up again, Roland found that the "cat wizard" sitting on the fork of a big tree with his legs swinging was Miss Anna.

Roland's expression suddenly turned very ugly.

Anna didn't do anything strange, or rather, her current behavior was very strange.

She held a crystal ball in her arms, in which were reflected the faces of Catherine and the Baron.

There were two people, one of them squinted his eyes and looked at this side coldly, while the other one stroked his beard and showed a more interested look.

"Why did you run so far?" Catherine in the crystal ball raised her head like an angry white swan.

Anna put away the crystal ball and slowly raised her head, like a proud swan. Squinting her eyes, she suppressed her anger and said to Roland, "Why did you run so far?"

It’s actually the common language!
Only then did Roland realize that Anna's eyes were unusually clear, and the magic power she possessed was unfathomable.

Roland was wrong, Anna is the cat wizard!

The cat wizard was never Katherine! It was Anna!
When she is not crazy, she is a very sane, very calm and powerful wizard.

While he was distracted, Anna had already floated over, grabbed Roland's collar, and lifted him into the sky.

Roland's mind raced: "Did Anna take any drugs? Why is she so rational?"
