Wizards: Starting as a Potions Master!

Chapter 176 Second-Ring Wizard Organization: The Tower of Mutation!

In the Etherstone mining area, Su Nan summoned a thousand modified scarabs to oversee the mine.

Meanwhile, he took Matsunaka, whose seal had been partially broken, and his wolf pack to the only diamond mine in the Rye Underground Domain.

Their destination was a diamond vein located on the southern edge of the Rye Underground Region, and the mining town on the diamond vein.

On the way, Jinx told Sunan that the insect hive inside the lizardman town had already begun to suffer sporadic attacks from fire dragon lizardmen.

The swarm was furious about this.

Su Nan said, "Let the Rye Mistress's forces focus their efforts on that insect hive for now."

"We need to give them some targets. That way, we can also take advantage of this time to move freely in the underground world."

"The swarm also needs to explore the possibility of four evolutions under their attacks."

The political system in Rye City is too primitive and too rigid to give full play to its advantages.

Even compared to the Storm Kingdom of the surface world, the underground world is rubbish in terms of its political system alone.

There were reasons why slavery was abolished.

The main city of Rye is essentially commanded by only one person. If this person is brilliant and wise, surpassing everyone else, that would be an advantage. But what if her intelligence is only slightly superior...?

This would result in a situation where, even if a slave realizes that the Insect Nest Town is just a trap set by Su Nan, that slave would have no motivation to report it upwards, let alone the ability to change the decisions of the Rye City.

This is a perfect example of being blinded by a leaf.

The wilderness of the underworld is not only poorly lit, but even the glowing moss on the rocky surface overhead is becoming sparse, and the wilderness is inhabited by monsters unique to the underworld.

For example, there are octopuses that crawl on the ground with eight tentacles, fish fins that crawl on the ground, and special strange fish that can spit out acid.

According to Song Zhong, these monsters are likely creatures from the sinkhole sea in the underground world, and may have also been modified by arcane magic.

During geological changes, some oceans collapsed into the underground world, forming a huge underground reservoir.

The marine life inside, through tenacious adaptation, finally managed to survive in this underground world.

However, they have become a monster race in the wilderness.

In addition, there are green-skinned goblins, some scattered minotaurs, wild centaurs, ogres, and other monsters.

In order to travel quickly and overcome the dim light environment of the underground world, Su Nan transformed directly into a werewolf leader who had undergone three mutations, and activated his demonic blood charging.

Unlike the Boiling and Fury series of berserk skills, the Blood Charge skill can be kept active for an extended period of time.

When a large amount of magical energy is gathered at a high density, it will emit a blue magical glow, and the magical glow will flow continuously, making it perfect for lighting.

At the same time, Su Nan swatted away a wild centaur that seemed to have no senses with one claw, and glared at a land octopus to drive it away. Then, he continued on his way to the southern edge of the underground world with a normal expression.

Since the entire wolf pack transformed into werewolf form, Wolf One, Wolf Two, Warwick, Brom, and Sunan themselves all activated their magic blood charging, and a large amount of magical radiance from the underworld converged on the five of them.

Because the underworld contains etheric elements that are not found on the surface, their magical glow gradually changed from azure to blackish-red.

Meanwhile, the arid fish and wild monsters in the underground wilderness no longer dared to approach them.

Their travel speed became extremely fast.

Song Zhong tried her best to keep up with the speed of the wolf pack, while observing them with a look of astonishment. She had never been this successful even when she was navigating the underground world.

Monsters in the underworld always like to attack passersby.

But now, the wolf pack is using collective control skills and magical radiance to intimidate the monsters, making them afraid to approach.

Secondly, Song Zhong looked at the mutated werewolf bodies of Su Nan and the others, still feeling lingering fear at the werewolf's ferocious physique. "My master of the surface world, have you also transformed yourself into a werewolf?"

"This modification does look quite good."

"If I, as an arcanist, could also possess such a powerful physique, and then use dark energy magic and arcane magic, it would greatly enhance my combat strength."

The Drow people have a tendency to admire the strong, so Song Zhong now feels both lingering fear and envy towards the werewolf who just brutally attacked her.

Su Nan glanced at her. This girl was really dreaming. But the mutated werewolf was entirely her own technology, and she couldn't possibly teach it to an arcane mage.

But she reminded herself that dark energy magic is inherently a melee magic, which could indeed be used on werewolves, since werewolves are a night race.

Actually, it's very compatible with dark energy magic.

He already has three drow slaves, and there will be more in the future, so he's not worried about not getting more information on dark energy magic.

Matsunaka pointed to the diamond mine ahead and said, "Surface Man Master, we've arrived. The diamond mine is just ahead, and the one in charge of mining is... is..."

She glanced guiltily at Su Nan: "I am a cave-dwelling degenerate."

"Diamond mines are not highly valued in the underground world, so they are not staffed with the most skilled miners, the gray dwarves. There are usually only about ten lizardman overseers."

She still felt that the cave dwellers and surface dwellers were closer, so she was afraid that Su Nan would have a problem with her if she saw how they enslaved the cave dwellers.

However, people in southern Jiangsu don't seem to feel this way much.

After all, according to the AI's analysis, the Zhuoer people are closer to the surface people.

The cavemen have been mixed with the bloodlines of many other magical creatures. On the contrary, the drow, the serious creations of the underground wizards, seem to be almost pure-blooded humans, so as not to affect their use of magic.

They only have arcane magic in their blood.

Su Nan snapped his fingers, and instantly, ten super werewolf messengers entered the mining area. In less than two minutes, they found all the lizardman overseers in the mining area and brutally killed them, crushing their heads.

Su Nan went inside, used ten lizardman corpses to extract a bottle of dragon-like blood, and threw it to Jinx, telling her to drink it.

Song Zhong pursed his lips, followed Su Nan into the mining area, and watched Jinx joyfully drink the extracted dragon-like blood.

She thought to herself, 'Wizards...they're so cruel.'

When the cavemen saw that the werewolves had taken control of the diamond mine, they immediately surrendered and sent their eldest caveman to pledge allegiance to the werewolves.

The caveman seemed to have suffered severe mental degeneration, but he still spoke quite fluently. He looked at Su Nan and the others who had regained their human forms, then simply knelt down.

Although the caveman was puzzled as to why their new master looked so much like them.

But that doesn't change the fact that they now have a new owner.

The cave dwellers shouted "Long live the werewolves!" probably because they thought Su Nan and his companions were werewolves.

Su Nan ignored them and followed Song Zhong directly to a mine tunnel supported by a metal frame, located deep inside the diamond mine.

At the end of the mine tunnel, a metal wall was revealed in the rocky cliffs, and there were many carved murals on the metal wall.

There is also a special pattern on the metal wall, which is three equal circles that intersect each other.

The moment we entered this mine tunnel between southern Jiangsu and Songjiang, the three intersecting circles of the school's emblem on the metal wall suddenly lit up, emitting a blue arcane glow.

"Daughter of Rye, you have finally returned."

"I want to tell you the real secrets of this underground world, but six months ago, you were too fragile to even touch the truth."

"Now, are you finally ready to accept the truth?!"

"Ah, I sense it. This is the aura of meditation without arcane magic. You brought a wizard with you? Very impressive magical pressure."

"Hello, wizard from the surface world, please introduce yourself."

"I am a thought left here by the Shadow Wizard, a first-ring wizard from the Tower of Mutation, a member of the second-ring wizard organization."

"After all, I myself have been dead for a very, very long time."

"Ugh."

As the three intersecting rings on the metal wall lit up with arcane magic, the phantom of an old man with a white beard appeared in the tunnel.

He wore a monocle over his left eye, a wizard's robe, and a wizard's hat, with a small lizard with its tongue sticking out perched on his shoulder.

This reptile has two lines on its back, one blue and one red.
