Wizard's Journey

Chapter 203 Cultivating "Fallen Minions"

Guided by the crystal turtle, Green and his group of four continued their journey through the winding, fleshy barrier passage.

Beneath the surface of truth, Green carefully examined the test tube in his hand. As the test tube was shaken, the green liquid inside made a constant "sizzling" sound, emitting a complex energy aura that Green had never encountered before.

After thinking for a moment, Weiwei thought about it.

Grimm took out a small fragment of the magic stone. Under the control of the repulsive and attracting forces, the magic stone fragment was stained with this green liquid. Grimm, who was flying, threw the magic stone fragment towards the fleshy barrier next to him.

With a soft "poof," the magic stone fragment disappeared without a trace, plunging into the fleshy barrier.

"Sure enough, those strange tentacles have an extremely close connection to this Amonro underground nest. Perhaps, that thing is even the builder of this strange underground nest made of this material," Green speculated in his mind.

The other three wizards followed behind Grimm, glancing thoughtfully at the Philosopher's Stone that had just disappeared into the flesh barrier.

As the group drew closer to the depths of the underground, the temperature within the passageway gradually began to rise.

Ok?

The wizards stopped and looked toward a fork in the road that had suddenly appeared. A thin layer of fat obscured their view, and dark green fluid flowed through it.

As dark wizards known for their combat and destruction, Grimm and his companions did not hesitate. They casually used a few spells to break through the membrane, revealing a fleshy, fibrous layer inside.

The group of people were all taken aback by what they saw inside.

Nursery?

In one layer of flesh and fat after another, hundreds of golden Amonro cubs, only seven or eight centimeters long, were neatly arranged. Their skin was still soft, their little tails had not yet ossified, and they struggled like kittens, without even opening their eyes.

This……

The stunned wizards suddenly showed expressions of surprise!

It would be naive to think that wizard civilizations simply conquered a world with their superior military strength and then engaged in unlimited resource plunder.

When the wizarding civilization wages wars, it has always relied on wisdom and adopted different approaches to deal with different situations in the world it is conquering.

Generally speaking, the wizarding world employs five different methods of conquest and plunder when waging war against other worlds.

The most basic and cruelest approach is to deal with primitive worlds devoid of any intelligent life forms. After conquering such a world, the only beings the witcher needs to contend with are high-level individual creatures; therefore, such primitive worlds are characterized only by slaughter, enslavement, and plunder.

Secondly, there are lower worlds with lower-level creature groups, such as the Shadow Mystery.

Such a world has a weaker ability to resist. As needed, after initially occupying a stable base, the wizards will begin to capture Amonro slaves and cubs on a large scale, breed them according to their own needs, and then begin to lure some extinct creature groups that have given up resistance out of despair, to establish a local creature group power structure as the wizards' corrupt henchmen on their expeditions.

Following that are some indigenous worlds with strong resistance, which are difficult for the original strongholds of the Witcher Wizards to conquer in a short time.

In such a world, once the wizarding world has sufficient deterrent power, it will sign certain high-level contracts. Then, it will begin to promote the values ​​of wizarding civilization and, based on the wisdom of wizards, issue wizarding currency in other worlds that has no world value. Similar to the wizard spirits, they will use wizarding currency and their own advanced civilization system's goods to achieve more covert resource plunder.

Next comes the subordinate worlds within the wizarding civilization system, namely the great worlds with level seven creatures.

And finally, there are a few chaotic worlds with extremely intense and volatile world rules. Because of the strange and unpredictable laws governing these world rules, wizard civilizations find it very difficult to infiltrate them, otherwise they would inevitably pay a heavy price.

If the group were to take these cubs in the Amonro nursery back to the Origin Space Fortress, they would likely be raised by the Saint Mark Wizard as leaders of the Amonro minions, and the group would certainly receive a substantial reward of wizard essence.

For a moment, the four wizards present looked at each other, lost in thought.

If these cubs were brought back now, it would waste a lot of time and cause us to lose a chance to obtain a Medal of Honor. However, if we choose the path of obtaining a Medal of Honor, not only can only be obtained by one person, but we will also lose these readily available rewards.

As for opening the space fragment here?

It's likely that the almost imperceptible force of fate in the underground space will take at least a day to open the spatial fragment, which is less than the time it would take to return to the original space fortress.

Gumbling.

The fleshy barriers here seemed much softer and thinner than elsewhere. Suddenly, a witch said, "Thirty witch essences, I'm willing to pay thirty witch essences for these cubs."

Grimm looked at the witch and said, "Are you planning to abandon the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon quest in the Lava Heart Lake underground?"

Based on experience, the rewards for the first batch of cubs would far exceed thirty witch spirits.

The witch sneered, "These tangible benefits are more important than the uncertain chance of obtaining a medal of honor."

Green, Ambrosia, and the other witch exchanged glances and nodded secretly, which was considered their agreement.

A moment later, the three who each received ten witch essences flew back to the underground space, leaving only the slightly excited witch behind, who began collecting the Amonro cubs in the nursery.

As the underground space grew hotter, the crystal turtle perched on Green's earring had to completely dispel its water elemental shell once again, turning into tiny crystals that burrowed into Green's ear.

Huff...

Dark red plant leaves began to appear on the fleshy barrier. These dark red leaves were about the size of a palm and seemed to survive by breathing in the surrounding fire elemental energy. The leaves had very clear veins and grew out from inside the fleshy barrier.

"Given the density of fire element here, we should be almost there."

Green, who was at the front, stopped, his eyes, beneath the grey-white mask of truth, shining with wisdom and rationality, as he looked at the other two.

Anmoro spread his arms, and strands of purplish-black tobacco smoke swirled and drifted around. After a while, Anmoro said in a deep voice, "According to the fire element density rules of the wizarding world, we should be at the lava layer sixty meters below us. And according to the slope of this passage, we still need to travel about nine hundred meters more."

The witch nodded, took out a crystal ball from her sleeve, and the crystal ball slowly floated into the sky, emitting a dim light, with invisible ripples spreading in all directions.

This is a summoning signal left between wizards before entering the underground space, equivalent to a coordinate positioning point. Its purpose is to gather wizards who have no other targets nearby to carry out a mission together after some major discovery.

About fifteen minutes later, the witch frowned and said, "We've only managed to contact twelve wizards. Another wizard team has discovered other strategically valuable missions, but the remaining wizards haven't responded."

Anmoro nodded and looked at Green.

Green put the crystal ball away and said calmly, "One more person is on their way."

Green, of course, contacted Victor.

After waiting for two hourglasses, all sixteen wizards gathered around Green, including Victor, who looked somewhat disheveled, as if he had encountered some trouble earlier.

At this point, a small magic circle had been set up in the passage. The magic circle's resonance detection ability was able to confirm that there was no hidden Golden Amonro within the fleshy barrier in the nearby small area.

The numerous dark wizards who had gathered, each with their own unique form and abilities, all looked toward Grimm, waiting for him to announce the specific details of their mission.

Wearing a gray-white Mask of Truth with spiral patterns, Grimm's long golden hair flowed freely, and his large gray wizard's robe could not conceal his burly and strong physique. He held a magic staff that emitted a dim halo, and his eyes beneath the Mask of Truth calmly looked at everyone, utterly composed and calm.

Under the exquisite control of the dual forces of repulsion and attraction, it was as if an invisible hand opened a small bottle of blood-red moss collected on the battlefield. The blood-red moss emitted a dim blood-red light, making it look very mysterious and eerie.

With a gentle point, the Blood Evil Moss floated in the air and began to slowly move towards the underground space on its own, as if some mysterious thing in the underground space was attracting these moss creatures.

Green said calmly, "According to my intelligence, the Bloodmoss originates from a creature in this world called the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon. In the lava heart lake beneath this underground space, Amonro happens to be raising three of these creatures. Right now, those Amonro are planning to take advantage of the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon's immunity to lava temperatures to move from the underground lava layer. Our mission is to intercept and kill at least one Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon to obtain the antibody potion to break the Bloodmoss and earn the Medal of Honor. At the same time, we must kill as many as possible to resist the rebellious forces of the Great Wizard's Will."
