Wizard's Journey

Chapter 333 The Nest of the World (Part 9)

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...

The battle lasted only two or three minutes, but it left several demon hunters nearly dead and still reeling from the experience.

The thought-provoking voice of the nest tarantula is truly terrifying for elemental wizards.

"Huffing, huffing, huffing..."

Green was panting heavily, enduring the weakness that came from unleashing his wild instincts.

Although one becomes more accustomed to the ability as one awakens their wild instincts more often, the weakness resulting from using this ability cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Unless Green's physique is greatly enhanced, or he unlocks an even higher level of wild instinct!

With a wave of his ram-horned skull magic staff, the fiery giant behind Grimm roared and dissipated in the wind. The lava armor and lava greatsword turned into molten lava that flowed across the ground, melting the ice crystals and producing a hissing, boiling sound of steam.

With a thought, Green's shoulder flashed, and the myna bird was summoned from the dimensional gap.

"Go check if anyone's dead over there."

Green was referring to the distant Thousand-Eyed Crab. After saying this, Green, panting, looked at Captain Ararat, the old witch.

"Hehe, it's all done here. Okay, dear Master Green, I obey your will and will show it to you now, hehehe..."

After saying that, the myna flapped its wings and flew quickly toward the thousand-eyed crab.

The Thousand-Eyed Crab was using its huge claws to hold a three-meter-long lair tarantula corpse, slowly feeding it into its small mouth and chewing it with a "crunch, crunch" sound, ignoring the arrival of the myna bird.

These nesting tarantulas, which are at most level one creatures, pose no threat whatsoever to the tarantulas; they merely provide a change of pace for the tarantulas.

On the other hand, the old witch Aravana was much more composed than Green.

Besides the first tree giant elemental creature summoned, there were eight weaker tree giants standing behind the old witch. These were all witchcrafts derived from the old witch and the elemental tree giant killing other nesting tarantulas.

The old witch waved her magic wand, and the numerous vine giants vanished with a low howl. Only then did she look at the pair of elemental eyes beneath the Mask of Truth, which were also looking at her, Grimm.

With a soft chuckle, the old witch slowly said, "Hehehe, if Lord Green advances to the second level of Demon Hunter Wizard in the future, he will surely become famous among all the Demon Hunter Dark Wizards of the Seventh Ring Tree of Life. His future is limitless."

The second-level Demon Hunter Wizards of the Seven Rings Holy Tower will leave the Demon Hunter Castle and reside on the towering cliffs of the Tree of Life.

Green, panting, shook his head and chuckled, "Whether I'll become famous in the future is unknown, but for a second-level wizard, it's just a pipe dream, a distant dream. Master Ara-Tan, you don't need to flatter me."

As he spoke, Green, having regained some strength, leaned on his ram-horned skull magic staff and stood up with a great effort.

"Young master, I counted, and none of them are dead over there, including that damned parrot, they're all alive and well."

Xiao Ba flew over and spoke quickly, almost grinding his teeth in anger as he finished speaking, implying that something had just happened over there.

"Um."

Green didn't ask what had just happened between Hachi and the parrot, assuming it was nothing more than the parrot mocking Hachi for running away as soon as the fight started.

"Not a single one died, that's good."

With that, Green and Arathi casually collected some specimens of nest tarantula corpses from the ground before flying back to the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

"Lord Green, those little creatures weren't very powerful, so I didn't bother to help you."

The Thousand-Eyed Crab spoke as it chewed on the corpse of the Nesting Tarantula, while several witch-hunting wizards stood on its back, feeling both relieved and somewhat embarrassed.

Green's eyes twitched after hearing what the Thousand-Eyed Crab said.

Little thing? It doesn't have much fighting power?

Green sighed. From the perspective of this level-three creature, the Thousand-Eyed Crab, these nesting tarantulas posed no real threat to it; they were just a bunch of small creatures.

"Um."

After nodding to the Thousand-Eyed Crab, Grimm flew onto its carapace and said to the few demon hunters who had been rendered incapable of fighting by the thought-voice of the Nesting Tarantula, "One magic essence for each of you."

The demon hunters didn't say much, each handing over a magic essence to Grimm.

Dark wizards are different from light wizards. Individuals are part of a group, and no one has an obligation to take care of other dark wizards. Although the actual benefit of Green's magic essence is not great, it is a necessary step.

If these individuals weren't part of the same demon-hunting team, the other demon-hunting wizards would have already taken the magic wands or other valuable magical artifacts as payment.

Green has a total of six magic essences.

These six witch essences will be distributed to the people who were just responsible for protecting these demon hunter dark wizards.

Clearly, the two level-two dark wizards who could barely protect themselves and were passively protecting themselves were not qualified to receive the wizard essence reward.

So, the six people who will obtain the Witch Essence are Arathi, Grimm, the male Level 2 Witcher who summoned the water elemental creature, the sonic witch of Grimm's team, Lulena, and the Thousand-Eyed Crab.

Green dispersed the clustered spirits, distributing them one by one until only two remained. Naturally, one spirit that was originally intended for the Thousand-Eyed Crab ended up with Green.

Green threw two witch essences into the dimensional gap.

"Phew, the thought processes of this nesting tarantula are truly terrifying. If it weren't for Ye Ye, I might have..."

Lulena felt a wave of fear wash over her.

Meanwhile, Ye Ye, the parrot on her shoulder, looked smug and said to Lulena, "Sister Man, don't worry, I'm your soulmate. Unlike some mynahs, I don't run away when my soulmate is in danger. Cowards."

Some mynah birds?

"Coward? You're the coward! Eighth Master is the great and noble Steel Emblem Myna, not some other myna! Besides, I was just making a strategic retreat just now, not wanting to cause any trouble for my dear young master Green."

Although Xiao Ba was arguing forcefully, he lacked confidence and his voice was not as loud as before.

"Huh? Then why did you run away when the nest tarantula came? Tell me, our great Steel Badge Myna, what are you if not a coward? Strategic retreat? What can you do to help your dear young master Green?"

The parrot's smug expression was driving Xiao Ba almost crazy.

A brilliant idea struck me!

Xiao Ba suddenly chuckled and shouted, "Gah!? What did you say? I didn't hear you!"

As he spoke, Xiao Ba grinned mischievously and asked Green, "Young Master, did you hear that? Something's been making all sorts of weird noises, cackle cackle..."

Green didn't bother with this guy.

Beneath the mask of truth, his eyes were filled with solemnity. Grimm said gravely, "It seems we overestimated our combat capabilities earlier. This kind of thought-reading is far too effective against elemental wizards."

Several witchers who had been interfering earlier nodded in agreement upon hearing Green's words.

That period was truly terrifying.

Even Naraku couldn't help but grit his teeth and try to dispel the fear he had just felt.

He had clearly arranged a series of battle plans, but he was unable to concentrate his mental energy to cast spells. This terrifying scenario was something no elemental wizard could imagine.

Fortunately, Brother Naili is still protecting me.

Thinking this, Naraku raised his head and looked at Grin, his long golden hair concealing the madness in his eyes and the envy in his lost ones.

Just now, I hadn't changed, but the gap between me and him had widened again.

On the other side, after listening to Green's words, Ara-shan nodded and pondered, "Our biggest mistake was not bringing the soul slaves. If we had those soul slaves to share the burden of the thought voices, we wouldn't have been in such a sorry state just now."

Soul slaves...

Before embarking on the expedition to this world, Green's four Amonro soul slaves had already been thrown to the Ming Wizard's side as cannon fodder during a special mission.

After a sigh, Green nodded thoughtfully and said, "Perhaps soul slaves would be more effective against these nest tarantulas."

After pondering for a moment, Alara's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded as if in agreement.

Firstly, elemental wizards pursue using their own meager power to manipulate the rules of the world and amplify their abilities infinitely. Therefore, they must maintain a stable mental state to use their wisdom. This ability to directly invade the mind is simply too terrifying for elemental wizards.

Secondly, soul slaves who tend to act on instinct not only have much less influence on thought voices, but if they are also subjected to the soul control and expulsion of wizards, their resistance to such thought voices will be astonishing.

"alright!"

Just as Green and Arathi were discussing, the witch who had obtained the live specimen of the nest tarantula breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with delight.
