Wizard's Journey

Chapter 1786 Small Monster Gathering Place

"This is a small settlement, and becoming its leader will be helpful in finding the Dark Portal."

Suddenly, a faint consciousness of Green came from Millie's left palm.

Millie thought that her encounter with the purple fire lizard was a random event and was already prepared for battle. However, she did not expect that it was not a random event at all, but that she had just coincidentally fallen into a monster gathering place!

As a gathering place for dimensional esophagus monsters, this place must contain resources that they fight over. However, judging from the scale of the monsters gathered here, it should not be the large monster gathering place with clues to leaving the dimensional esophagus that Green mentioned.

Even Millie's sudden appearance after the storm of time went unnoticed by these old monsters!

With a series of "squeaks" as the air burned, the purple fire lizard noticed Millie's inexplicable hostility. Frost and fire clashed in the dimensional esophagus, where anything bizarre and strange could happen, so the so-called inexplicable hostility crisis became natural. The purple fire lizard stuck out its tongue, which held an ancient copper coin in its mouth, as if it might launch a fatal attack at any moment.

"Exile, do you want me to fight?"

In the Dimensional Esophagus, battles need no reason; death is the endless cycle of digestion. Trapped in the Dimensional Esophagus, except for a very few lucky ones, most creatures cannot escape the fate of being digested by the endless world. The longer a monster persists, the more likely it is to have a sliver of hope to return to the material energy world full of infinite hope.

Meanwhile, Millie, realizing her predicament, gradually relaxed from her initial fear.

Before gaining the unparalleled blessing of the Grimm's Eye in his left palm, even Millie, the Ice Age Saintly Wizard who had experienced the Third Civilization War, would not dare to say that she could definitely defeat the purple fire lizard in front of her. It was highly likely that the two sides would give up after a long and difficult battle.

However, at this moment, there are dozens of such level-six peak monsters in this small settlement!

Since it's a gathering place, the monsters must have resources to fight over to gather here. Soon, Millie focused her gaze on the green pillar of light that descended from an unknown place in mid-air.

The green pillar of light seemed to be some kind of source of light full of life energy, which was quite strange.

In a world of matter and energy, such a beam of light, though wondrous, would only attract the attention of some lower-level world lords. The gathering of dozens of peak level-six beings like this would be impossible.

Millie smiled calmly, her eyes as deep as the vast starry sky. The frost beneath her feet receded, and she said in a low voice, "I am not a fanatical fighter, and I have no interest in causing unnecessary bloodshed."

Immediately realizing that her words didn't sound like those of a monster trapped in a dimensional esophagus for years, a strange excitement flashed in the depths of Millie's originally calm and deep pupils, and she said menacingly like an old witch, "However, if you're looking for your own death, I can send you on your way!"

As she spoke, frost surged from the tip of Millie's Absolute Zero Magic Wand, gradually forming the image of a majestic ice crystal phoenix.

Now, with the blessing of the Eye of Grimm in her left palm, Millie's overall strength is comparable to Grimm's peak period when he dominated the Dimensional Digestive System. Although she is not invincible among the old monsters of the Dimensional Digestive System, she is enough to roam the Dimensional Digestive System without worry. With a little luck, it is not impossible for her to find a way out of the Dimensional Digestive System.

squeak...

Purple flames blazed in the air. The giant lizard retracted its tongue, clearly wary of the frost power unleashed by the tiny humanoid creature. After taking a few steps back with a series of rumbles, it turned and left.

Taking this opportunity, Millie briefly observed the strength of the monsters in this gathering place.

This purple fire lizard can only be considered of medium strength at best. There are at least a dozen monsters that are stronger than it. In other words, based on Millie's true strength, there are at least a dozen of these monsters that Millie simply cannot fight!

However, given Millie's current strength enhanced by the passive effect of the Eye of Grimm, there is only one monster among these that Millie is most concerned about.

It was a three-meter-tall golden giant. Although it was entirely golden, it was a standard flesh and blood creature, naked and hairless. Its humanoid physique was far more violent and aesthetically pleasing than that of humans. It stood silently, and the ripples of its aura that it inadvertently released caused the surrounding monsters to leave large blank areas and stay away from this extremely terrifying and powerful creature, even in the dimensional esophagus.

In terms of form alone, this golden giant is extremely similar to the avatars of Prometheus. Could there be some connection between the two?

The golden giant's gaze also fell upon Millie. He remained calm and composed, as steady as a mountain, but Millie felt that he might unleash a world-destroying force at any moment!

"This guy does have some strength, it's a pity that the Overlords can't descend into the Dimensional Food Path, otherwise he would be a qualified slave under the Titan's Ring of Loss."

Millie barely opened her left palm eye a crack, glanced sleepily at the golden giant a few times, and then closed it again.

"This should be a settlement without a leader, and the resources aren't particularly rare. You can try to control this settlement, but it would be best to find a larger one. There's still plenty of time. Even if the Dark Portal hasn't completely pierced through the Dimensional Passage, there should be some vague clues. Search carefully, and hopefully it won't cause too much damage to the expeditionary force."

Before falling into a deep sleep, Green gave his last words of advice, and Millie nodded.

Just then, with a loud "boom," an incredibly ferocious bone-spur monster, as if it had only appeared in a nightmare, burst forth from the ground beneath the skeleton, each bone spur emitting wisps of black, deathly smoke.

After surveying the gathering place, the monster growled, "Then it's the same old rule: the Light of Life can only sustain thirty people for a thousand years, so only thirty of you need to stay here. If you don't want to die, hurry up and leave now. If a chaotic battle breaks out soon and you can't escape, you'll become one of them."

The monster pointed to the skeletons on the ground beneath its feet and sneered evilly.

Dozens of monsters gathered here, none of them choosing to leave, clearly quite confident in themselves, knowing they had enough ability to escape even if they couldn't win.

Lol lou lou lou...

It was the unsettling noise that came from the thick liquid sliding down his throat, followed by the powerful, battle-ready breath exhaled from deep within his throat, and his thin, purplish-black lips split open, revealing rows of dagger-like teeth.

An astonishingly intense killing intent filled the air, and Millie felt an unprecedented sense of oppression in this environment.

In this gathering place of terrifying monsters, what kind of effort did Grimm make to become a predator that traverses the dimensional esophagus, a monster among monsters, a nightmare-like existence that inspires fear, and finally escape the dimensional esophagus?

Glug, glug, glug, glug...

Her heart pounded violently, and Millie, who was as cold as ice, felt her silver-white hair flutter and fly as the magic within her surged. A wave of aura suddenly formed and expanded with astonishing pressure.

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap...

This is the Dimensional Digestion. Even with the overwhelming aura of the Golden Giant and the Ice Age Stigmata Grand Wizard Millie, there are still fearless challengers who have locked onto the two of them as their targets!

At this moment, Millie was targeted by a cluster of emerald green feathers and a shadow-inhabiting monster on either side.
