Wizard's Journey

Chapter 201 Underground Nesting Technology?

Dozens of golden Amonroes scattered around, howling and disappearing into the burrows in all directions around the plaza. Green's eyes flashed as he chased away the two fire bats hovering beside him and landed on the ground.

puff……

The lingering heat from Green's body still scorched the fleshy barrier on the ground, emitting a strong smell of burning. He bent down and picked up a few pieces of the Mystery Stone.

On the other side, the wizard, who had transformed into a half-eagle, folded his wings and landed beside Green with a "whoosh." With a sudden flap of his wings, a large cloud of smoke and strange smells dissipated.

"I didn't expect you to be able to break the seal on the mystery. If... if you agree, I'm willing to exchange one hundred magic essences for the relevant knowledge of witchcraft." The wizard's voice was somewhat expectant.

Generally speaking, the guaranteed minimum reward for a Witcher Expedition is thirty Witch Essence. However, in reality, in addition to countless additional tasks and rewards during the expedition, there are also various ways for the Witcher to plunder. These additional rewards far exceed the guaranteed minimum reward.

Dark wizards, known for their danger, independence, destruction, and plunder, typically earn at least a hundred wizard spirits with each demon-hunting expedition.

As for further profits?

There is no upper limit!

If one were to be extremely lucky and discover some super treasures in the Expeditionary World and successfully plunder them, the gains would be immeasurable. To put it metaphorically... it would be like breaking into the Wizarding World's rule space and stealing the lever of fate.

Everything depends on the witcher's opportunities and the extent of their exploration.

puff!

The wizard, enveloped in deep blue fluorescent energy, also descended. His eyes glowed with a pale purple light, and his flesh and blood body was beginning to transform into energy. As he was in the process of advancing to the second level of wizard, his body exhibited an unstable and chaotic state.

When a first-level wizard advances to a second-level wizard, the initial elementalization of the body often takes decades, allowing every cell in the body to adapt to the energy transformation process.

"I'll offer... two hundred spirit stones," the wizard said in a deep voice.

"You!" The wizard, now a half-eagle, turned and snorted.

To the two wizards beside him who were vying for the trade of magical knowledge, Green shook his head and said calmly, "Untradeable, an innate ability."

After hearing that Green had no intention of making a deal, the two wizards suppressed their thoughts, glanced at the mysterious wizard who was tall and strong, with long golden hair and wearing a gray-white spiral mask with only two eye holes, nodded politely, and said nothing more.

Two other wizards slowly flew over, their figures somewhat blurred by the swirling elemental power surrounding them. Through the scent of hormones, Green discovered that both were female wizards carrying the perfume of Venus, the goddess of love.

Naturally, the four wizards looked at Green.

Because when Grimm first arrived at this cave, he clearly knew more information. When they received the information about the "Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon" for the second time, it didn't mention anything about the Bloodmoss.

Green was being watched by four demon hunters in various forms, but he didn't say much. He slowly raised his arm and extended his index finger. A tiny, crystal-clear dot, only a quarter of a centimeter long, flew out of his ear and landed on the tip of his index finger.

As Grimm's magic surged and a flow of water replenished it, the tiny crystalline dot grew larger, becoming about three centimeters long. It emitted a dim light, resembling a translucent crystal, and was quite beautiful.

Several wizards focused their attention on the lowly creature, scanning it with their spiritual energy, and exclaimed in surprise, "A soul of natural elements?"

Green whispered to the crystal turtle, "Which of these passages leads to the underground lava lake?"

After a moment of silence, the Crystal Turtle pointed out three passages and whispered, "These three should all lead to the Lava Heart Lake. I can feel the Lava Giant from my distant memories through these three passages."

Lava Giant?

The other dark wizards were obviously unaware of some of the ancient history of this world. Upon hearing the words of the lava giant, they instinctively grasped at some clue and secretly memorized them.

"Um."

Green nodded, placed the crystal turtle on the earring, let it grip it, and then channeled his magic to rush into a passage.

The other four dark wizards didn't hesitate either. With a surge of magic, they followed, and the moment they entered the passage, they marked the entrance with five people to indicate that five people had entered the passage.

The passage was only about twenty meters in diameter, with constantly shifting and winding walls, creating many blind spots. To prevent any potential accidents, the wizards flew cautiously and slowly.

The group was not attacked along the way. After half an hourglass, their view suddenly opened up and a 'plantation' of round plants appeared before them.

Ok?

Could this large-scale cultivation of plants be the edible plants of the Amonro people?

After several wizards had this guess, they stopped and landed on the ground, quietly observing the densely packed, palm-sized, round creatures on the ground, which looked juicy and soft.

Thus, the wizards naturally began to collect some for later research.

Creak, creak, creak...

The unusually crisp chewing sound made several wizards stop what they were doing and look at Green.

After chewing the plant carefully with his eyes closed for a while, Green opened his eyes and analyzed, "It contains some stimulating components. Long-term consumption can enhance the resistance of lower-level creatures to fire elements. It has some effect on knights, but it has no effect on legendary knights or formal wizards. It has no value."

Several wizards looked at Green with some envy. The fact that Green dared to directly identify and analyze specimens from other worlds showed that his body had a strong resistance to poison and parasites, which was why he could confidently and boldly identify specimens of other world creatures.

"It seems that the Amonro of this Shadow Mystery world primarily live as underground cave creatures. According to the wizarding civilization system, these plants can be classified as fungi. These creatures are somewhat similar to the survival methods of anthill creatures," a female wizard analyzed in a low voice.

The half-eagle wizard surveyed the plaza and said, "According to the growth cycle of fungi, this type of multi-striped mushroom takes about seven days to mature. The production capacity of this plaza should be enough to support about five to six thousand Amonro's food needs. If there are two or more such breeding bases, our group of over seventy people..."

The semi-energetic wizard bent down, gently stroking the constantly writhing fleshy barrier with one hand, seemingly conducting his own unique research based on his own knowledge system.

After a while, the wizard, who was in the process of advancing his cultivation level, stood up, shook his head, and said with certainty, "Judging from the direction of the flow of the juices under these fats, they are converging from all directions. Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be another such farm in this underground palace. At least, there shouldn't be any in the vicinity."

Everyone nodded and fell into thought.

Beneath the greyish-white mask of truth, Green suddenly asked, "Is the Zhangma tree we're in considered a giant life form in nature?"

Uh……

Several wizards were taken aback, but the wizard who was currently advancing in his cultivation shook his head and said, "It shouldn't count. There's no sense of giant life forms here that could form their own unique rules. Instead, it feels like some kind of nesting technique. It seems there are some errors in the information about the Zhangma Tree resources in our crystal ball."

Indeed, if the Zhangma tree were truly an independent life form, its size would likely be at least that of the Tree of Life. And a life form of that size, even at a low level of life, should still be at least at the fourth level of life.

The reason why the Zhangma tree was listed as a precious resource by the wizard in the crystal ball was because the previous understanding of the information believed that this plant had great strategic value in digging underground defensive fortifications.

However, if the right strategic resources and information can be found, it might just be a clue to a medal of honor.

After everyone realized this, no one said anything and they all continued to remain deep in thought.

This kind of strategic information is only effective for the first wizard to present it, so everyone must hurry up and decipher its secrets in order for someone to receive the reward.

As for who this "someone" is...

Later, after collecting some experimental specimens, the group was suddenly engulfed in flames by a series of large-scale magical destruction spells. Guided by the crystal turtle, they then proceeded deeper into the earth.
