Wizard's Journey

Chapter 329 The Nest of the World (Part 5)

This fluffy ball, which had originally resembled a round sphere, gradually deflated and shriveled up, like a punctured balloon.

"Hmm? Is this its true form?"

Gradually, the fluffy ball of fur, which had spread out comfortably, resembled an animal's fur. It was thin, soft, and the dense, upright fur gradually softened and became very smooth.

In the center of this fur is a mouth resembling that of a primitive creature, filled with spiral-patterned teeth.

It has no eyes, no nose, no ears, no limbs, and no tail.

Its balloon-like protective layer seems to have a natural self-sealing function and the ability to sense resonant sound waves.

This creature's self-sealing involves perfectly concealing its own scent and body temperature within its balloon-like fur layer, blending it into the environment.

Furthermore, due to its long-term evolution in the sonic environment of the nest world, it also has a perfect concealment effect on ultrasonic positioning magic.

The so-called concealment is always relative to the perception of other creatures.

The creature before them, skilled in self-sealing, though only existing in the shallow layers of the nest world and not even reaching the standard of a first-level creature, already held a status similar to that of a shark in the wizarding world's oceans.

It's even possible that this creature isn't confined to a single nest space, but rather a mobile predator that roams the entire nest world.

Thinking this, Green suddenly shook his head and smiled mysteriously, a delicate scalpel appearing in his hand.

Gently, Green sliced ​​open the seemingly deflated, soft, dark gray fur. No blood flowed out, but suddenly, a bloody, long creature with its primal spiral teeth opened its mouth and lunged at Green.

hum...

Green seemed to have been prepared all along.

With a flash of the semi-transparent wizard's shield, the bloody, elongated creature was blocked by the shield. After failing to escape, the creature seemed to want to run away, but Green grabbed its neck below the mouth with one hand even faster.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

The long, slender creature kept writhing as Green pulled it out of its fur.

For it, the balloon-like fur on the ground is like a snail's shell, a protective layer.

The inside of what was originally a fluffy and cute round ball turned out to be such an ugly thing. After Green pinched its mouth and neck with one of his strong hands, it began to wrap around Green's arm and curl up.

On Green's shoulder, space distorted, and Little Eight appeared.

"Little Eight, this is the culprit that ate your mud monster. What do you plan to do with it? Do you want to eat it?"

The myna bird was startled by the bloody, segmented creature wrapping around Green's arm. Grief-stricken, it cried out, "I won't eat such disgusting things! Young master, I've just thought of dozens of ways to deal with the leaf-beast killer that ate my food, but first, could you ask it if it could stay with me...?"

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the long, thin creature that had been wrapped around Green's arm did something unexpected. At one end of its "tail" was a mouth like that of a primitive creature, which opened wide in an instant and bit down hard on the myna.

"Oh my god!"

With a shriek, the myna bird vanished into the dimensional rift.

Beneath the greyish-white mask of truth, Grimm's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Although this strange creature was unexpected, it had ample time to react under the dynamic vision of Grimm's Endless Eyes, not to mention that it was impossible for it to break through Grimm's wizard shield.

Suddenly, the alien essence of Grimm's Face of Truth, with its infinite extensibility, perfectly adhered to Grimm's face.

The next moment, Green's mouth underwent a strange transformation, opening wide at 180 degrees as if it were some cruel, dark creature, revealing a tongue identical to that of the original creature.

"roar!"

Green's monstrous maw opened wide, unleashing a powerful and awe-inspiring roar that nearly triggered a sonic boom.

The bloody, long, thin creature that was about to bite Green's shoulder felt immense fear at this moment, as if the creature in front of it was a predator at the top of the food chain. It was like a frightened kitten, letting out a terrified cry. The primitive creature at the end of its tail shrank its neck and retracted even faster, trying to escape.

Even this creature, which was not very intelligent and was merely driven by instinct, had fully felt the terror of the wizard and no longer dared to challenge the wizard's will.

call……

An inextinguishable flame ignited in Green's hand.

The long, bloody creature struggled violently in Green's hands until it was burned to ashes, which Green casually tossed aside.

grunt.

Not far away, Ye Ye, the parrot on Lu Lianman's shoulder, saw the scene after Green's mutation and instinctively swallowed.

When it saw Green's face, which had slowly returned to normal, looking at it again, it let out a cry of surprise.

"Ah! My dear Wizard Grimm, I think we are not a good match. I prefer a gentler member of the opposite sex."

The parrot was startled and hid behind Lulena's head, peeking out with its head peeking out. It spoke in a flustered and forced smile, looking at Green with the eyes of someone who had seen the natural enemy of some carnivorous creature, reminding it of some bad memory.

In contrast, Lu Lianman appeared completely unconcerned.

During her time as a wizard apprentice, she had witnessed far too many wizard apprentices attempting to fuse various bloodline spells in pursuit of greater power, resulting in all sorts of bizarre and outlandish forms.

The scene of Green's recent transformation, though cruel and brutal, was not too exaggerated or bizarre.

Clearly, Lu Lianman only assumed that Green had fused with some kind of bloodline magic and didn't care too much. She calmly performed a wizard's salute and greeted Green.

Green nodded to Lu Lianman, then ignored the parrot.

A thought flashed through his mind, and a myna bird poked its head out from the dimensional gap on his shoulder, asking, "Young Master, where's that guy?"

This guy looks like he's ready to run away again at any moment.

Green gestured with his chin and said casually, "Isn't it over there?"

Seeing that the bloody, long creature had been completely burned to ashes by Grimm, the myna bird finally felt relieved and boldly walked out of the dimensional rift, saying with regret, "Young Master, you were too merciful. You let it off so easily by burning it to death."

Huffing and puffing, the myna bird said resentfully, "How dare they eat my Leaf Beast! I was originally planning to slowly get it onto the lab table and use it..."

After muttering curses to himself for a while, the myna bird finally noticed the parrot trembling behind Lu Lianman on the other side.

The myna bird was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed, followed by a look of disdain, and became extremely smug.

"What a cowardly wimp! This is just the appetizer for Eighth Master. Daring to offend Eighth Master? Hmph, Eighth Master hasn't even used his 180 million 188 methods of torture yet! Tch... You're already scared? If some of those parrots were willing to kneel and lick Eighth Master's boots and apologize now, maybe Eighth Master would soften his heart and give them a chance..."

Green picked up the pelt of the bloody, long creature and looked at the myna bird, whose smug expression seemed to have long forgotten the mud monster's sorrow.

"Waaaah, all mynah birds are no good, I'm never talking to you again, waaaah..."

Crying, the parrot's fleeting shadow flew into Lu Lianman's ear, leaving the astonished myna pointing at itself and muttering, "Not a good bird!?"

Green had given up all hope for the myna and the parrot, so he stopped paying attention to the two little guys and began to focus all his attention on studying the balloon-like fur.

Apart from the oral cavity and a small incision I made with a scalpel, the entire fur was a completely sealed "balloon".

Although the creature's secret to hiding itself lies in its soft, long hair, what is truly precious to Green is the sealed leather beneath the hair.

Perhaps this is the clue that leads Green to discover a similar self-sealing witchcraft technique to that of Senior Sister Youquan.

Even if all else fails, Green could use this to develop a magical artifact that conceals himself, which might prove very useful in the future.

With delight, Green put the fur into the dimensional gap.

"It seems that Lord Green has made some unexpected and amazing gains on this trip. Congratulations!" Lulena said with a smile.

"It wasn't anything amazing, just some unexpected gains. Let's go, it's time to meet up."

After speaking calmly, Green led the way and flew forward. Half an hourglass later, the two arrived at the location of the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

Not only Green's team, but also the four level-two demon hunter wizards of the Arathi team have arrived, with only Green and Lulena missing.

Everyone seemed to have gained something, and while waiting, they were constantly looking down and studying something.

Splash, splash...

Amidst the rolling, scraping sound of chains, the pupils of Grimm's eyes beneath the Mask of Truth contracted.

Naraku also captured a round, furry creature, which was looking down at a tuft of blackish-gray fur on its fur, deep in thought and studying something.
