Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 239 Immortal Banyan Dragon! This matter is settled! (Long chapter, please vote and subscribe!)

"The First Ancient Sage?"

All the ancient sages present were shaken.

This name is truly impressive.

Without the original ancient saints, there would be no subsequent reptilian civilization.

"The ancient sages existed countless millions of years ago? How is that possible?"

"However, the original Ancient Saint was originally the embodiment of the Holy Serpent's will, so it's possible that he didn't have a lifespan limit. According to mythological records, it's not said that the original Ancient Saint perished... he simply disappeared. Could it be that he really was the original Ancient Saint?!"

Regardless of whether this person was the original ancient saint, the shock brought by his appearance was real.

The once arrogant Ancient Saint of Broken Void was now being held by the throat of fate by his large hand, unable to move.

This is the Ancient Saint Duan Kong, who killed the First Ancient Saint, and is undoubtedly the strongest in the Ancient Saint Empire.

So disheveled, who would believe it?

None of the ancient sages present dared to run away.

"I have no ill intentions. As I said, I just want to restore the glory of the ancient saints, establish a unified ancient saint empire, and reclaim the Azure Dragon Empire and the Wind God Empire in the future."

Li Wei's tone was calm, but it carried considerable weight.

The Ancient Saint of Broken Void was on the verge of death, his body being corroded by a swarm of deadly poisons. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have died long ago.

Li Wei had long ago cultivated Nakley's "Mixed Poison True Body" to the seventh level, comparable to a third-ring wizard, and usually fed it with various poisons.

The current swarm of highly toxic individuals is no weaker than Clayer was back then.

"Gentlemen, those who wish to form an alliance with me and rebuild the Ancient Holy Empire may stay; those who do not may leave on their own." Li Wei's expression was solemn, as if he regarded it as a sacred matter.

"I...I'm willing," the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint said, trembling. His worldview had been completely shattered today.

First, the Ancient Saint of Broken Void appeared out of nowhere and defeated the other Ancient Saints single-handedly.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, yet another nameless ancient saint, with a flick of his finger, suppressed the Ancient Saint of Broken Void.

They're both ancient saints, so why is there such a big difference?

Once the Serpent Demon Ancient Saint expressed his opinion, the Ridge Mountain Ancient Saint and other Ancient Saints also expressed their opinions.

"My lord... I have no interest in reviving the Ancient Saint Empire. I... I will not participate. Farewell," said one of the Ancient Saints.

"Oh, not interested, huh? May I ask what kind of ancient sage you are?" Li Wei asked with a smile.

"I am the Blackstone Ancient Saint."

"Then you can leave. I won't force you." Li Wei waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.

Blackstone Ancient Saint turned and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Li Wei drew his bow and nocked an arrow with a casual conversation!

Blood Feather Bow!

Blood Cone!

boom.

The arrow flew like a streak of light, disappearing in an instant.

The next moment, a muffled groan came from ahead.

Soon.

The Black Stone Ancient Saint shakily returned to his original spot, the Blood Forbidden Cones clinging to his legs like maggots.

This Blood Forbidden Cone, having followed Li Wei, has absorbed the blood of countless powerful individuals, subtly increasing its power.

"My lord, I am also willing to join the covenant!"

"Very good. The establishment of the supreme Ancient Saint Empire cannot be separated from your help. Today, we hereby establish a contract in the name of the Ancient Saint of Broken Void to establish a new Ancient Saint Empire."

"My lord? Why is it in my name?" Duan Kong Ancient Saint asked weakly, looking completely bewildered, as Li Wei held his hand in his palm.

"Because I believe you are more suitable to be the ruler of this country than I am," Li Wei said.

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Duan Kong's heart; in the end, he himself would become the ruler of the empire.

It seems that his own strength has earned the recognition of this original ancient sage.

Li Wei's thought was that he should stop using the name of the original ancient sage to swindle and deceive people.

What if that so-called original ancient sage really didn't die? Wouldn't he come after me in the end?

Therefore, it's best to let the Ancient Saint of Broken Void be the ruler of the Ancient Saint Empire, while I secretly control him.

Afterwards, Li Wei and a group of ancient saints made a pact, and on this battlefield, a new empire rose up again.

After doing all this, Li Wei returned to Black Pattern City and asked the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky to take care of the rest.

He left a small amount of highly poisonous substance inside the Ancient Saint of Broken Void, which would put some pressure on the Ancient Saint of Broken Void and tell him that the consequences of disobeying would be severe.

Of course, neither this kind of contract nor the swarm of highly venomous creatures is safe enough.

The safest method is the Crimson Pact, but unfortunately, Li Wei's Crimson Dragon Breathing Technique is still some distance from the fourteenth level.

Therefore, this is a last resort.

In general, he believed that with the strength he had demonstrated, those ancient saints shouldn't have any ulterior motives so quickly.

This day.

Monca arrived at Livy's residence with a solemn expression.

"Sir, a very important person has arrived at the door."

Who is it?

"The Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven".

"Let him in."

Not long after.

A lizardman, also with red scales but less imposing than Livi, arrived here.

"Helin greets Your Excellency," the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven said respectfully upon meeting him.

He did not participate in the ancient auction a few days ago.

Firstly, he possessed the ancient magic ring; secondly, he secretly learned that the Ancient Saint of the Void had already slain the Ancient Saint of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, and out of fear, he found a place to hide.

Then, he heard the news of the establishment of the unified Ancient Holy Empire.

After leaving Lonely Wind City, the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky took over Tyrannosaurus City in the center of the empire. With Tyrannosaurus City as the core, he led other Ancient Saints and tribes to sweep away all forces, large and small, that were unwilling to surrender.

Knowing that the situation was hopeless and that hiding in the deep mountains and forests was not a solution, the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven decided to seek refuge with this powerful figure who was suspected to be the first Ancient Saint, hoping to obtain a high position in the empire.

After making inquiries from various sources, he learned that this powerful figure was living in seclusion in Black Pattern City. He then traveled day and night to finally meet this formidable man who could suppress the Ancient Saint of Breaking the Void with a mere flick of his wrist.

Li Wei looked at the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven, nodded, and said with a smile, "It seems that the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven has also come to support the cause of our New Ancient Saint Empire. Men, prepare a banquet to entertain him."

At the banquet, the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven felt uneasy. As a member of the Fire Lizard Clan, he had many questions in his mind, but dared not ask them.

In the end, after expressing his loyalty and surrender to Li Wei, the Ancient Saint of Burning Heaven left.

"This journey to another dimension should come to an end. This trip has gone much more smoothly than I imagined. Taking over the Ancient Saint Empire, the Wind God Empire, and the Azure Dragon Empire is only a matter of time."

Furthermore, the search for ancient beasts is still ongoing, and I will have the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky use the power of the empire to find the other dragon creatures I need, so I don't need to worry about them anymore.

I've cleared the way for the Twilight Knights to take over this place.

When we return to the human world this time, we can try to send members of the Twilight Knights here in batches for training.

As for the traces of the ancient wizard, and the identities of the four ancient kings and the sacred serpent, these secrets can be discovered later.

Li Wei was very satisfied.

This trip to another dimension was very rewarding.

Thereafter.

Li Wei stayed in Blackpaty City for a while longer.

Other ancient saints, and various tribes possessing ancient saintly methods, all offered their respective ancient saintly methods to Li Wei.

Li Wei only took the copy; he didn't want to sever the lineage of these crawler civilizations.

To be honest, he was also very curious about how far these guys could evolve in the future.

During this time, Li Wei spent his time in the city studying these ancient sacred methods.

"The Ancient Holy Method of the Rock Serpent", "The Ancient Holy Method of Berserk Blood"...

These ancient methods are the teachings passed down from generation to generation by these ancient sages.

It is said that they were all created by the first ancient sage, whose origins can be traced back to ancient times.

"Initially, the Ancient Saint was just a lizardman. How could he have such high intelligence and create so many Ancient Saint techniques?"

Even I haven't been able to create my own Knight Breathing Technique from scratch so far.

I don't believe he can do that... If that's the case, doesn't it mean I'm not even as good as the lizardmen?

These ancient sacred techniques may have been created by that ancient wizard, who was likely well-versed in the way of chivalry and plagiarized and modified the content of the knight's breathing techniques to form these ancient sacred techniques.

Li Wei had a guess in his mind.

He counted the ancient sacred methods he had collected and found that they could be basically divided into four categories.

Defense, physique, speed, strength.

Compared to the Knight's Breathing Technique, it lacks the two major dimensions of endurance and perception.

All defensive ancient holy techniques ultimately point to the bloodline source of Ocean King, Radiant Sea Dragon.

Similarly, speed corresponds to the Sky King Emerald Dragon, and strength corresponds to the Underground King Xeno'jiiva.

Li Wei has also determined his final physical condition using the Lorraine Crystal.

Its bloodline originates from the Forest King, the Fairy Banyan Dragon.

According to Li Wei's extensive investigation.

The Immortal Banyan Dragon is a legendary serpentine dragon that coils around the World Tree. Its body is connected to the World Tree, and its branches are covered with the tree's limbs.

The World Tree will never die, and the Immortal Dragon will never perish.

However, to be fair, mythical giant trees like the World Tree exist in many civilizations, such as the Pandora Mother Tree of the Elven civilization.

Therefore, Li Wei did not know which civilization the World Tree that the Immortal Banyan Dragon was pointing to belonged to.

"The Emerald Dragon, the Radiant Sea Dragon, the Netherworld Lamp Dragon, and the Immortal Banyan Dragon are the four giant dragons under the Holy Serpent's command. They are all pure-blooded dragons and at least legendary level nine. The Holy Serpent is at least mythical level, comparable to a legendary wizard... Actually, thinking about it this way, the waters of this world seem to be quite deep."

Li Wei didn't know if his pebble, thrown into the world, would make a splash.

"However, based on my investigations over the years, neither weak lizardmen like Kaku nor ancient saint-level beings like Duan Kong have ever successfully established contact with the Holy Serpent during their sacrificial communication rituals. Does this mean that the Holy Serpent might be dead?"

Li Wei suppressed his doubts.

Collect all these ancient sacred methods and keep them for future use.

A month later.

As Li Wei prepared to take his leave.

The current ruler of the Ancient Saint Empire, the Ancient Saint of Broken Sky, has landed at Li Wei's residence.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." Ancient Saint Duan Kong knelt on the ground, his face respectful.

"What is it?" Li Wei asked.

"My lord, the Ancient Saint Empire has now basically completed its unification. Those Ancient Saints who disagreed with serving the Empire have been killed by me. Should we now lead the army to conquer the Azure Dragon Empire? Those sea barbarians often invade the borders of the Ancient Saint Empire. They are too hateful!" Ancient Saint Duan Kong was eager to try and full of fighting spirit.

"No rush. Let's rest and recuperate first. We'll make plans after I return. In the meantime, if we can resolve the empire's internal affairs, that will be a victory," Li Wei said.

His departure, unlike the explanation given by Duan Kong and the others, was to go into seclusion.

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, Duan Kong took out an ancient magic ring. "My lord, these are some plants that I searched for as you instructed."

Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise. He took the storage ring, examined it, and was astonished by the sheer variety and quantity of the herbs inside.

In the coming period, all Li Wei needs to do is collect some medicinal herbs that are not found in this world, and he will be able to refine a large number of meditation aids.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Continue collecting in the future, and at the same time, carefully study the plant cultivation methods I have taught you. In the future, you should not only harvest, but also learn to plant and raise them, and develop a green, sustainable, and cyclical approach," Li Wei said.

"Yes, thank you for passing on the torch of knowledge, sir!" Some time ago, Li Wei left some of the herb cultivation knowledge of wizards that he had translated and summarized, as well as some low-level meditation methods and spell inheritance of wizards, to the Ancient Saint Duan Kong and other Ancient Saints, so that they could find some talented people and cultivate them.

Among the lizardmen, there is a chance of developing spellcasting talent, and Kaku is one of them.

Li Wei felt that this barbaric race still had potential to be explored in the future.

He also wanted to know how far this civilization could go in the future.

In the end, Duan Kong left Li Wei's residence full of energy.

Just as Li Wei was about to leave, old lizard Kane stood hesitantly at the mansion gate.

"My lord... are you truly the first ancient saint? I've heard rumors circulating..." Kane asked in his aged voice.

"Old Kane, there's no need to be superstitious about the First Ancient One; everyone is a First Ancient One!"

Li Wei left behind some profound and enigmatic words and departed.

After traversing the vast ancient Holy Empire, we arrived at the continuous Intis Mountains.

Here, the wind howls fiercely, and the mountain peaks are covered with snow.

Every now and then, some humanoid creatures with wings, resembling large birds, would flit about among them.

These are the Feathered People.

A powerful civilization that evolved from a crawling civilization.

A messenger from the Feathered People traversed towering mountains and finally landed atop a vast, snow-covered mountain that seemed to reach the heavens.

Where the snow-capped mountains meet the sky, there stands a magnificent and resplendent palace.

The messenger, with a solemn expression, passed through the guards and finally arrived at the center of the hall.

The various feathered ministers sat upright, and on the high seat, a powerful figure exuding endless pressure, draped in golden feathers and wearing a feathered crown, had sharp eyes like an eagle's.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"Such panic and disarray, what kind of behavior is this? What happened?"

"Your Majesty, the First Ancient Saint has returned..."

"What?!"

In the vast seas of the south.

The azure-blue scaled giant, resembling a small mountain, atop the deep-sea throne, also wore an incredulous expression, its gaping maw filled with sharp teeth.

"The original Ancient Saints...have returned?"

……

The first day of the Primordial Moon in the year 1094 of the Holy Radiance Calendar.

The 64th year of the Great Expedition.

The Supreme Dao Hall.

Today is Li Wei's birthday again.

He silently cooked himself a bowl of longevity noodles and slurped them down alone in the hall.

After finishing his noodles and soup, Li Wei sighed, "I'm 104 years old. When I get busy, time flies by. Ten thousand years is too long; I must seize the day."

My 100th birthday celebration still feels like yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, another four years have passed.

He has been away from the Ancient Holy Empire for almost half a year.

In the past six months, after returning to the Twilight Temple, he did not rush to go out.

He gained a lot from the Ancient Holy Empire, but he still needs time to digest it.

On one hand, he needs to work on the breathing techniques and the Wizarding Way. On the other hand, the new "Destruction Sword Aura" also requires Li Wei to work on it slowly to increase its power.

Moreover, given that my mental strength has now reached 125 points.

Li Wei is preparing to begin learning his third runeword.

He opened the Book of Starforging Runes.

"Power runes, hermit runes..."

He has now leveled his Strength Rune to level 5, increasing his strength by 40%.

The Hermit Rune itself only has a third-tier limit.

One is a power boost, the other is invisibility; Li Wei is also considering which one to choose next.

Although Li Wei intuitively felt that the runeword called "The Fool" must be very useful.

Unfortunately, just a glance at the structure of the Fool's Rune made him feel dizzy and lightheaded, as if looking at it for too long would cause him to explode and turn into a curly-haired baboon!

He knew that 120 points of mental strength was far from meeting the requirements for cultivating the Fool's Rune.

Therefore, he could only ultimately select a few that he could learn with his current mental strength.

"Lovers, Chariots."

According to the Book of Runes, the Lovers Rune seems to subtly enhance Livi's charm, luck, and mysterious attraction to the opposite sex.

"I'm not interested in dating, so what's the point? As for luck... let's not even talk about it. Let's look at the tank instead."

Li Wei believes that luck can't change bad luck, and spending money can't change fate; an unlucky person is just unlucky.

He looked toward the chariot.

"Chariot runes are suitable for embedding on magical artifacts that aid in flight, as they can increase the artifact's speed."

Li Wei felt that increasing speed was very suitable.

When the time comes, I'll fix it onto my legs, and then I'll be a speedster.

Speed ​​is a real, tangible boost, much more useful than more mysterious attributes like Luck and Charm.

"Once I have enough mental energy, I can practice the Lover Rune. I feel like it will still be useful. After all, even if I'm not successful, I can still hook up with a few rich women and live off them. From then on, I can be a gigolo in peace."

Charisma is an attribute that cannot be cultivated even with the Knight's Breathing Technique. Practicing the Knight's Breathing Technique will only decrease Charisma...

Charm is related to appearance, but appearance is not the decisive factor.

According to the runeword description, the Lovers rune can communicate with the power of the Aries constellation, which represents love, luck, charm, and fertility.

Discarding distracting thoughts, Li Wei began to construct chariot runes in his mind with his mental energy.

Three days later.

A brand new runeword model appeared on the gaseous magic ring in Li Wei's mind, rotating around it.

At the same time, he opened the proficiency panel.

Li Wei——————

Chariot Rune: Tier 1 (1/1000), Special Effect: Pegasus Constellation Power (Level 1).

……

【Pegasus Constellation Power (Level 1): Runeword communicates with Pegasus Constellation, the power of the stars amplifies your speed, increasing your current speed by 5%】.

"Pegasus...it seems to be paired with the horned bull," Li Wei muttered to himself.

"Never mind, just fix it to my leg."

Having learned from the success of the Power Rune, Li Weiyi quickly copied it and solidified the Pegasus Rune on his leg.

The white Pegasus pattern flashed by and disappeared into Li Wei's body.

In the blink of an eye, without using the power of scarlet, Li Wei dashed from one end of the hall to the other.

"The speed has indeed improved, but the increase is not significant, and I still have to grind. I estimate that, like the Strength Rune, it will increase by 40% after level 5. At that time, combined with my Crimson Escape, even a fifth-ring wizard won't be able to catch up with me."

The liver rune language is something that takes time and patience, so Li Wei wasn't in a hurry.

He walked out of the main hall, where the Divine Light Knight waited anxiously at the entrance of the Supreme Path Hall.

"What does the Divine Light Knight want with me?" Levi looked at the Divine Light Knight, as if he could see right through her.

The Divine Light Knight felt Li Wei's gaze. Being watched by this pioneering knight made her somewhat nervous, even with the composure of a legendary knight. Her heart pounded faster, her chest heaved, and the shield-shaped armor covering her body trembled.

There's no way around it, the female legendary knight's "chest muscles" are just too exaggerated.

"Commander, I recently visited the Peacock Kingdom, and it seems that the plague is starting to break out again in the human world," the Divine Knight said worriedly.

She went to Peacock City, where her brother, King Boyka of Peacock, told her about the situation and hoped that she could use her legendary knightly skills to see if she could resolve it.

Even the Holy Radiance Church hasn't been able to handle this for so long, so how could she possibly manage it?

After much thought, the only person the Divine Light Knight could think of in the entire world was the omnipotent and mysterious leader.

As far as she knew, the leader seemed to be a powerful wizard. Wizards possessed profound knowledge and were also proficient in potions, so perhaps he could solve this problem.

"Divine Knight, I understand the situation you described, but the plague in the Peacock Kingdom is rather strange, shrouded in mystery, and there's nothing I can do about it right now," Li Wei sighed.

He was telling the truth; after he came to earth, Andrew also reported the plague situation to Levi.

Li Wei went to the Peacock Kingdom to investigate and found that the sources of these plague viruses were all different, and the types of viruses were also diverse.

If the right medicine is prescribed, even with Li Wei's skill as a pharmacist, he might not be able to develop so many antidotes.

It is clear that the mastermind behind this is a highly skilled expert in epidemiology and virology.

The other party might be a big shot from the Ghoul House, and given Li Wei's current strength, he doesn't want to get too involved.

His abilities are limited; he is not a savior, nor does he live by faith. He is powerless to help those ordinary people now.

Moreover, with the Church of Holy Light present, although the plague is difficult to deal with, it is impossible for mortals to be wiped out.

Then the church would have no reason to exist.

"I understand, Commander..." The Divine Knight turned away reluctantly.

"Denise," Levi said.

"Commander? Is there anything else?" the Divine Light Knight asked.

"What I'm trying to say is that human strength has its limits. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We are just knights, not gods. We have neither the ability nor the right to save the world. If you really want to become the savior of mortals, then work hard to cultivate," Li Wei said calmly, as if offering advice.

Denise paused for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.

"I understand, Commander, thank you."

Li Wei watched Denise's retreating figure.

"This world is getting more and more chaotic, with all sorts of demons and monsters making their appearances."

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.

With the secret medicine made from the bloodline of the "Flame Blood Earth Dragon Beast", the speed of cultivating the Crimson Emperor Dragon Breathing Technique has obviously increased a lot.

In addition, Li Wei's chariot rune has finally been upgraded to level three, increasing his speed by 20%.

Level 3 is a threshold for runewords; after that, the training speed will become increasingly slower.

However, the bonuses after level three gradually increase.

After completing the Chariot Rune to level three, Levi began preparing to return to the Wizarding World.

He obtained many herbs from the Ancient Holy Empire, but not enough to refine meditation aids, so he still needs to go to the Wizarding World to find a way to purchase some.

In addition, he also wanted to go to the Wizarding World to find some blueprints for contract-type magical artifacts, and then forge a contract item for the Twilight Temple that could be used to bind its members.

Otherwise, as the number of Twilight Knights expands, sooner or later there will be traitors.

Suddenly, some unusual activity came from the Green Fairy House, which had been neglected for a long time. Li Wei quickly used his spiritual power to investigate.

"There's something going on with the Zerg."

As Li Wei became increasingly busy, he rarely paid attention to the armored scorpions and red-faced sea spiders, basically leaving them to their own devices.

Since the enemy was dead, he immediately threw the corpse in to feed these guys.

These two strange insects have been freely multiplying and growing wildly in the Wizard of Oz, and their numbers have reached tens of thousands.

But at this moment, inside the Wizard of Oz.

Scattered corpses of armored scorpions and red-faced sea spiders can be seen everywhere.

"So, you're going to start killing each other again, aren't you?"

Li Wei's expression remained unchanged. He was used to these insects killing each other; they reproduced quickly anyway, so he treated it as raising Gu worms.

He followed the corpses and finally saw a golden-armored, red-spotted carapace monster the size of a wild dog, devouring the corpses of the Holy Armor Scorpion and the Red-faced Sea Spider.

Seemingly sensing the gaze of a spiritual force, the monster raised its head, revealing a scorpion head that vaguely resembled a human face.

"What the hell is that?"

The next moment, the monster opened its mouth, and a childish, sharp, and unpleasant voice seemed to echo in Li Wei's mind.

"Mother"

Li Wei quickly tried out his insect-controlling spell, the Song of Spiders and Scorpions.

The mental connection is still there, so he should still be able to control the monster.

"Mother……"

"I am not your mother."

Li Wei said, frowning.

"dad……"

"I'm not your father, call me master!"

Li Wei was puzzled.

Based on his knowledge of entomology, he could not explain the current situation.

"Could it be that some of the corpses I fed them before were problematic, and that some of the Armored Scorpions mutated after eating them? Or perhaps the Armored Scorpions were possessed?"

Li Wei was completely baffled.

"Why did you eat your brothers and sisters?" Li Wei asked.

This armored scorpion seems to be able to communicate and has already developed rudimentary, childlike thinking.

"Mom, I'm hungry..."

Li Wei released the surviving Armored Scorpion and Red-faced Sea Spider, which had been hiding in the nooks and crannies of the Wizard of Oz, and kept them in a place in Alice's Ring. These surviving alien insects were all scarred, but they were all very powerful.

Inside the Wizard of Oz, only the mutated insect remained.

Li Wei took out the strange insect and examined it carefully.

Judging from the characteristics of this alien insect, it should be a stitched monster born from the combination of features of the armored scorpion and the red-faced sea spider.

Of all those alien insects, only this one monster was born.

"I'm hungry..."

This thing wasn't full yet, and was searching for food all over the floor of the main hall.

However, it did not attack Li Wei, indicating that it had not betrayed Li Wei and that the insect-controlling spell was still effective.

If the opponent shows any tendency to retaliate, Li Wei will kill them without hesitation.

Li Wei tossed the sea monster meat from his storage bag to it, letting it eat.

Li Wei approached it and stroked the strange insect's hard shell. It wasn't very hard, but it was very sturdy, with a rubbery texture. After testing it, he found that its defensive power was no weaker than that of a twelfth-tier golden snake, far exceeding that of ordinary holy armored scorpions.

Next, Li Wei took out an ordinary second-ring extraordinary creature he had previously collected from Alice's ring—the armored ox—and placed it in front of the strange insect.

The strange insect pounced on it immediately; its size was about the same as a small mouse compared to the armored cow.

However, it was like a leech, its sharp mandibles instantly tearing through the opponent's armor, which was strong enough to resist second-circle spells. Then it injected venom and spat out pure white spider silk from its tail, wrapping the cow in layers, making it unable to move.

Then, the strange insect burrowed into the cow's body.

Li Wei saw Mao Niu lying on the ground in pain, its surface bulging from time to time, which was the strange worms moving inside its body.

"In a one-on-one fight, he was instantly killed by a second-ring extraordinary creature, so he should have strength close to that of a third-ring being."

Soon, Li Wei saw a phantom-like spirit of a hairy cow struggling near the mouth of the strange insect, about to dissipate.

That was the soul of the ox, which was then swallowed by the strange insect with a whoosh.

"I'm full, Mom."

After finishing its meal, the strange insect came to Li Wei's feet and rubbed its eerie head against his leg. Then, like a kitten, it lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Li Wei felt a strange sensation.

"I'm afraid even the most senior insectivorous wizards wouldn't be able to explain what's going on..."

Li Wei took advantage of the person's sleep and used dream manipulation to hypnotize them, altering their memories.

"I am your master, not your mother or your father... A little insect like you is born to be loyal to its master. Otherwise, the master will be unhappy and will abandon you, and then you will only go hungry."

The dream-entry spell can subconsciously suggest things to the insect, making it more loyal.

This effect is generally not very good for mentally mature humans, but it should be quite effective for this strange insect that is clearly mentally immature.

"I'll call you Leon from now on."

Li Wei took the strange insect to the Wizard of Oz's house and raised it alone.

Judging from his current performance, Leon has combined the abilities of the Armored Scorpion and the Red-faced Sea Spider, making him stronger in all aspects. It seems that he still has a lot of room for growth in the future.

After doing all this, he arrived at the crater where the subspace node was located.

The volcanic eruption had long since stopped, and Li Wei followed the passage left behind.

Finally, they found the spatial vortex in the center of a lava lake deep underground.

Surrounded by a heavy water barrier and protected by golden snake scales, Li Wei stepped into it and disappeared.

When it reappears, it will be in a sea of ​​magma.

Having just left the spatial vortex, before Li Wei could even recover from the dizziness...

Suddenly, the spider sensed danger and Li Wei was sent flying with a bang.

The heavy water barrier shattered, the golden scales shattered, and Li Wei's powerful fire dragon form was torn apart by the immense force, with the power of death and ashes quickly repairing his injuries.

Li Wei endured the pain and stared intently.

A fiery bird, hundreds of meters long and seemingly composed entirely of flames and magma, was staring menacingly at Li Wei.

Upon seeing the opponent's illusory and unpredictable body, as well as its incomparably powerful aura, Li Wei's expression froze.

"A fire elemental spirit? And a level five one at that! Retreat!"

Without the slightest hesitation.

Li Wei's Crimson Dragon Seed ignited rapidly, unleashing all the crimson power within him, and the runes on his chariot flickered.

Blood mist billowed and rose in the sea of ​​magma.

Li Wei transformed into an unparalleled streak of blood-red light, vanishing in the blink of an eye before the firebird, leaving only a trace of blood energy behind before disappearing without a trace as well.

He could still put up a fight at level four, but at level five, even with the fire resistance of a true fire dragon, Li Wei didn't want to take the risk; life is only once.

The firebird stared coldly at the vanished enemy and did not give chase.

It withdrew its gaze and continued to burrow into the deepest part of the magma ocean to lie dormant, absorbing the fire elemental power there to grow stronger.

at the same time.

In a deep-sea cave somewhere in the Hundred-Eyed Demon Realm.

Li Wei set up a concealment array, hid inside, drank a potion to restore his strength, ate a lot of food, and then began to regulate his breathing.

This is the first time he has used Crimson Escape, and hopefully the last.

"There's actually a level 5 fire elemental spirit in this sea of ​​magma. It's too dangerous. If it were to pass through the spatial vortex and reach the human world... the Church would be in for a real headache."
