Wizard's Journey

Chapter 432 Infiltration

Green and Clementia transformed into a pair of locust-like beings, a man and a woman, flying by flapping their decorative wings on their backs.

Splash splash splash splash...

Amidst the sound of flowing water, Green and Kredia stopped in surprise, both looking at the river, its surface shrouded in the aura of a black abyss, with expressions of disbelief and shock.

"Grin, it seems the areas most severely affected by the abyssal moss contamination are not the plants, but the freshwater areas of this world!"

Cretia spoke in a low voice.

At this time, the river was about twenty meters wide and in diameter.

The black, meandering water should have been a beautiful scene of lush vegetation and clear, flowing water, but instead, the banks were covered with dense, dark moss, and animal carcasses and the bones of dead fish were scattered all over the surface of the river.

Green and Cretia collected a large number of biological carcass specimens on both sides of the river.

"The concentration of abyssal aura here far exceeds that of the previous village ruins, and it can already cause fatal attacks to creatures with a constitution of two or less."

puff!

As soon as Green finished speaking, a deformed fish suddenly leaped out of the water, its body covered in blood-red, fleshy growths, and about a meter long.

The strange fish opened its huge mouth, its long tongue with a sucker, and lunged at Green, who was much larger than itself. It was truly ferocious.

Crackling sounds!

A strange black arc of electricity erupted from the strange fish's body, filled with an abyssal aura, which greatly surprised Grin, who was about to kill it casually.

With a "pop," the sucker on the strange fish's long tongue stuck to the Wizarding Grimm's Cover.

Greene shouted immediately, "Don't kill it!"

After stopping Kredia, Grimm grabbed at the strange fish tongue stuck to the wizard's cloak with one hand, and a large area of ​​ice spread out.

The strange fish seemed to sense Green's power and wanted to escape, but it was already impossible. The ice crystals were spreading steadily with unstoppable force and looked like they would freeze its entire body soon.

Crackling sounds!

The black arc of electricity continued to resist.

Although this energy is wondrous, its degree is quite low. After all, this strange fish is just an ordinary creature that has not yet had time to grow to a higher level after being transformed into an abyss.

The second step of Grimm's Annihilation Power experiment requires a large amount of basic energy and composite energy, and finally, the extremely valuable and expensive alchemical materials.

That level of consumption would probably require even a Saint Mark Wizard to handle with caution.

Green had never encountered this kind of black electric arc before, but it does have some research value.

however……

As Green's icy power slowly froze the strange fish with unstoppable force, the fish's numerous blood-red tumors suddenly exploded with a "poof," shooting out a creature that looked like a tadpole, trying to escape into the abyssal river.

"Um?"

Now that Green has discovered them, he naturally won't let these abyssal creatures escape.

Large patches of ice crystals appeared again, freezing all the tadpoles.

After the black tadpoles escaped the blood-red tumor on the strange fish's body, the strange fish seemed to lose its black electric arc ability, with only the last part of its tail that was not frozen making an instinctive final struggle.

"What? Interested in these black arcs of energy? But I remember you don't seem to be good at lightning-based magic."

Kreta walked over to Green and asked, her eyes sparkling.

Of course, it still had that locust-like appearance.

Even in this alien world, due to the attention of the primordial will, Grimm's speed in opening the fragments of the Demon Hunter Castle world was still extremely fast. After carefully putting away the specimen, he said calmly, "It has other uses."

Without offering any explanation, Green suddenly paused, staring at the floating corpse of a locust-man infant in the river.

Kretia looked over as well, and said with a smile, "It seems... a locust-people settlement upstream of the river has been polluted, and there's been a mass die-off of locust-people infants with relatively weak constitutions. Hehe, this is only the initial stage of abyssification. If the abyss cataclysm is completed, it will be enough to bring the locust-people of this world to the brink of extinction."

Kredia, representing the will of the wizards, signifies the destruction of this wizarding will. Therefore, upon seeing the locust people beginning to show signs of defeat, she couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement.

Plop!

A soft, black tentacle at the bottom of the river suddenly pulled the locust-human infant's corpse down.

Grimm looked up at the polluted river, its surface shrouded in the aura of the Black Abyss, and calmly said, "Let's explore this city of locust people upstream."

"it is good."

As formal wizards, Green and Kredia naturally didn't care about the corrosive abyssal energy. They flapped their decorative wings and flew quickly upstream along the river.

After about half an hourglass period, the two stopped.

"sulfur?"

Large amounts of sulfur powder were scattered on the ground, as if the sulfur had the effect of preventing the spread of abyssal moss. On the other side of the sulfur powder, the abyssal moss was indeed much less.

Unexpectedly, there are indeed some locust-man sages in this world.

In the Wizarding World's deepest abyss, almost all buildings are mixed with sulfur powder to prevent the erosion of abyssal moss, which is the cheapest way to prevent its spread.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution and not a cure.

Once mature Abyssal Moss appears in the world, if this terrifying creature cannot be completely purified and eliminated, then it must undergo its own Abyssalization to adapt to the changes in the world's rules.

The lower the level of the organism, the easier it is to complete the abyssal mutation, while the higher the level of the organism, the more difficult it is to complete.

As for the rulers' desire to adapt to the Abyss Cataclysm through Abyss distortion in a short period of time, it is virtually impossible.

This is probably one of the balancing rules for the endless world where creatures change and alternate.

After flying for a short while longer, in the distance, small, fiery red nest cities, each over a hundred meters tall, appeared in Green and Cretia's view.

Many locust warriors flew around the small town, seemingly on patrol, blocking many locusts from entering the town.

Green and Kredia flew over to an elderly locust-man who was being blocked outside the city.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why won't these locust warriors let you in?"

The old locust man was accompanied by a young locust man. The young locust man seemed to have been corrupted by the abyss, appearing somewhat sickly and listless, with some redness and ulceration on his skin.

The old locust man looked at Grin and Kredia, and seeing Grin's Flame Soul Sword and Kredia's luxurious clothes, he quickly bowed.

"Reporting to the esteemed Locust Warrior, it's all because of those terrifying evil wizards. The city has fresh sacred fruit, land untouched by the wizard's shadow, and no demonized creatures. Everyone wants to go in, but those evil wizards can change their appearance, disguise themselves as locusts, and infiltrate the city to corrupt them with their shadows. Now, unless one can use the power of the Flame Soul to confirm the locusts' identities, no outsider can enter."

Green used the Flame Soul Blade, which was evolved from the Flame Giant into the Flame Soul, as a tool to conceal his identity, and was mistaken for a Locust Warrior by the old Locust Man.

The black flames above his head flickered weakly, and the old locust man's words were filled with sorrow and helplessness, as well as hatred and fear of the wizard.

"Oh, I see."

Grimm nodded, then said hatefully, "Those despicable evil wizards! Sooner or later, the great Flame God will banish them all from this world!"

Green's words seemed to resonate with some of the surrounding locust people, who nodded sadly, their expressions filled with longing.

Now, on this land that has been turned into an abyss, they feel utterly alienated and terrified.

Often, some inconspicuous little creatures can be deadly. Frequently breathing in the abyssal air can cause corrosive damage to the cells of ordinary locusts with weaker constitutions.

Green flew towards the city with Kretia, but they were intercepted by four locust people.

Kredia nestled beside Grin, who merely slightly drew the sword from his waist, and the aura of the Flame Soul of the Black Devourer appeared, startling the four locust-men.

This fiery soul power has clearly reached an incredibly high level; even light shining on the black flames is swallowed up.

"Please, sir."

The four locust-like people parted the road, looking at each other with utmost respect.

With Kredia in tow, amidst the envious gazes of tens of thousands of locust people outside, Green flew inside as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

This small town is called Tan Ding Fortress. Although the height and magnificence of its Crimson Nest are far inferior to those of the Dark Annihilation Capital, it is still much better than the civilian version of the Crimson Nest that was only a dozen meters tall that I had seen in the village before.

"Hmm? What's that over there...?"

At this moment, the Dark Annihilation Temple Square in the small town of Tandingbao was surrounded by Locust People, numbering in the tens of thousands.

In the center of the square, a female locust-person was stripped naked and tied to a thick wooden post, with branches and firewood piled up below the post.

"Evil wizard, how dare you disguise yourself as a great locust race and infiltrate the city of Tan Ding Fortress! Do you have anything to say now?"

A priest from the Temple of Annihilation raised a torch and asked sternly with a hateful voice.

wizard?

Green and Kredia glanced at her, but they couldn't sense any trace of a wizard from the female locust-person.

Was the disguise just too clever?
