Wizard: Starting with Symbiosis with Algae

At that moment, raindrops began to fall from the sky.

The dense raindrops splashed up seawater.

The blue algae above Lynn's head fully opened up in the rain, with strings of bubbles rising to the surface.

[Blue-light algae, absorbing nutrient-rich (magic crystal) raindrops. Currently fixing magic.]

[With fixed magic power, your magic power has increased slightly...]

[Magic +0.03]

Three times the effect, it really is three times the effect.

Lynn had half her face submerged in the water, showing no sign of joy.

Compared to the three-fold absorption efficiency, he had more urgent matters to attend to.

Take down two flying sticks, or get taken down by a flying stick.

He only left his eyes and nostrils above the water.

The number of flying sticks is two.

Lynn has a total of five, including the worms.

Five against two, it's obvious Lynn's side has the advantage—what a joke.

The worms are as powerful as adult bananas.

Lynn didn't even have any intention of coexisting with such a lowly creature.

The idea of ​​the prey killing the hunter is wishful thinking.

If we analyze it carefully,

His combat abilities have indeed returned to their peak.

His stats are all at the Knight level, and he's confident he can take down an enemy even when his vision is unobstructed.

But with two of them, one drawing his attention from the front and the other attacking his forehead from behind, he had absolutely no chance.

He pondered for a moment, then loosened the tow rope underwater.

Someone always has to make sacrifices for peace.

Why can't it be a waste worm?

Based on previous experience, the flying stick will eat the worm's heart first, and then look for other targets after it is full.

There are four newly emerged islands in the nearshore waters, and worms are mating on each island.

There's no reason for me to come to him first.

The algae strands spread out on the sea surface like a blue-green floating mat, making him look like a clump of wild grass floating in the water.

The advantage was that the two flying sticks didn't notice him immediately.

They probably mistook him for a pile of seaweed washed out by a hot spring.

The downside is that the worms that had just let go seemed to regard him as a "delicious boss," and one by one they clung to him, crawling under the blue algae and sticking to his thighs and calves, unwilling to leave.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lynn took a small sip of seawater, mimicking the feeling of a hot spring.

The flying sticks surrounded them.

Lynn clenched the vine-entwined magical structure in his hand, gathering magical power.

The coolness of the metal helmet gave him a sense of security.

As expected, the two flying sticks feasted on the island.

After eating this, they eat that, and many undiscovered worms are detected by their keen sense of smell.

Their feeding methods are also quick and efficient.

It charges up and launches itself at the worm, its mouthparts tearing through the body wall, devouring the heart, and then it leaps to the next worm.

Lynn watched the whole thing through the gaps in the blue algae, which lasted about ten minutes.

After satisfying both their physical and sexual desires, the two flying sticks predictably flew towards Lynn.

..

As the saying goes, a balanced diet consists of both meat and vegetables. After eating foie gras, you should have some lettuce. And if you eat too much meat, eating some greens is a good alternative.

After quickly scavenging the nearshore worms in Lynn's area, they probably thought this clump of green stuff was moist enough to be served as a dessert salad.

They fluttered to Lynn's side, one landing on his left shoulder blade, the other on his lower back. They ate the algae at a leisurely pace.

Lynn was submerged in the water, face down, breathing oxygen produced by cyanobacteria.

patience

We must be patient

1v2 is too difficult.

I must use every means at my disposal.

..

Lynn's blood contains sulfur toxins.

However, he wouldn't easily let the other party bleed out and bite him, as that wouldn't be safe.

We must endure until both are poisoned.

In those few minutes, Lynn had already wrapped the sulfur algae around the blue light algae.

The two types of algae are intertwined and indistinguishable from each other in appearance.

While consuming blue-green algae, the flying rod also ingests a considerable amount of sulfur algae.

Toxins don't take effect immediately, but as they accumulate, they eventually weaken.

As soon as they weakened, Lynn would strike them hard.

Several tens of minutes have passed

[Magic +0.03]

Time seemed to drag on.

Lynn drank a lot of seawater.

My stamina has also been greatly depleted.

If Ruby were here, Lynn might have already made his move.

But now he's all alone.

The most effective strategy is to be patient, stay hidden, and then launch a surprise attack.

Lions, tigers, cheetahs—all top predators—the most efficient way to hunt is by ambush.

He also needs to make good use of the cruel virtues of nature.

So, Lynn, keep being patient.

..

Several more minutes passed.

[Magic +0.03]

The wind was light and the waves were small. The blue algae carried Lynn, two worms, and two flying rods, swaying gently on the water.

One of them crawled up from the shoulder blade to the back of the neck, huddled in the gap between Lynn's helmet and collar, while the other crawled from the lower back to the flattest part of his back, curling up in a circle. Although they were full, they seemed to find Lynn's back warm enough that they simply wouldn't move.

Lynn could feel the rapid proliferation of blue-light algae and sulfur algae.

Physical activity level is gradually declining.

Endurance -0.3

[Magic +0.03]

Two hours later, Lynn, who had been patiently enduring the pain, felt a slow breathing rhythm coming from his back.

The toxins from the sulfur algae have already taken effect.

Lynn's eyes lit up; he was certain that the two flying sticks had suffered heatstroke due to the toxins.

Since he suffered from heatstroke, we can't blame him for being ruthless.

Lynn silently extended her vines from beneath the water's surface.

The flying sticks were very light and slippery. When the tip of the vine touched the body wall of one of them, the weight it felt was not much heavier than a test tube.

Therefore, they cannot be killed by throwing them.

It can only be twisted or pulled.

The vine split into two branches, one wrapping around the head of the creature on the back of its neck, and the other wrapping around the abdomen of the creature on its back.

He let the vines gently cover them like a thin veil, without tightening them at first.

The body of the throwing stick is slippery.

Once the vines were fully in place, Lynn infused them with magic.

"Go all out!"

The vines tightened instantly.

The magically simulated fibers instantly transformed into hydraulic jacks, tearing the bodies of the two flying rods with a creaking sound.

I twist it.

The vines twisted around the head of the flying stick like ropes.

One of them had its head twisted nearly ninety degrees, and its body segments bounced violently.

The other one was awakened by excruciating pain from the toxin paralysis, its body curled into a bow shape, ready to fire.

Lynn gritted his teeth and poured a burst of magic into the vines.

The vines slowly gained strength again.

The flying stick's body finally underwent a stretching deformation.

As the two flying sticks were about to die,

They unleashed their last bit of strength and flew away.

..

「艸」

Lynn gritted his teeth, collected the high-energy soil from the flying rods, and swam towards the shore without looking back.

It's okay to fail; just adjust your mindset and try again.

"As long as you're alive, there's still a chance."

at this time

Two extremely bright bolts of lightning flashed by.

Lynn instinctively slapped the water's surface and looked back.

A flying rod, smaller than two dying flying rods, swooped down from the sky.

You can eat the heart of two flying sticks in one bite.

More flying rods then appeared in the sky.

"How can there be cannibalism among our own kind!"

Lynn froze, lying face down in the water.

One, two, three. Three intact flying sticks came into view.

Lynn figured his own flesh and blood probably wouldn't be able to kill these things.

He decided

装蒜

[With fixed magic power, your magic power has increased slightly...]

[Magic +0.03]

..

The torrential rain and lightning lasted for half the night.

The flying stick finally left.

He had already exhausted a lot of his strength.

Fortunately, the flying stick did not press its advantage.

Lynn's eyes lit up.

His harvest was considerable. He acquired 17 high-energy soil samples.

And the magic power has already reached the level of 1.
