Wizard's Journey

Chapter 572 Rainbow Rainbow (Part 3)

three days later.

This is a dark underground cave environment with densely packed, split stone pillars. The constant chirping of ultrasonic waves emanates from within, indicating that a species of underground stone bats lives here.

In the endless world, the vast majority of creatures rely on their eyes for perception, and the most common way the eyes perceive is through light.

Even in the darkness underground, due to the existence of the rule of light in the world's fundamental rules, there will still be things that can be perceived by eyes that have evolved for super-photosensitive vision. The dark underground environment is not the end of the evolution of photosensitive eyes.

Of course, in well-lit areas, highly sensitive eyes often experience extreme myopia and perceptual deficits.

However, when the source of darkness merges with the darkness and swallows up the approaching light, even the most light-sensitive eyes will become useless. This is a completely different way of hiding than camouflage.

Green transformed into darkness and stopped before the dense forest of stone pillars, daring not to go any further.

The source of darkness is merely a concealment that devours light and hides perfectly within the darkness; any sense of concealment will be rendered useless when faced with this sound wave-based localization.

Most importantly, Green easily sensed that there was an ancient creature in front of this forest of stone pillars, exuding an aura of evil blood.

While Grimm, who wields the power of annihilation, is not afraid of fighting a level three creature head-on, victory is not guaranteed. No matter how high the attack power of annihilation is, it is useless if it cannot hit the target.

Given the wisdom to make better choices, Green would naturally not resort to such a foolish fighting style.

Furthermore, what Green wanted was not to win the battle and drive away this level-three creature, but rather the evil blood within this ancient creature, which required Green to kill it.

Sonic perception?

As a wizard with knowledge of ultrasonic positioning magic, Green clearly sensed from the sound waves in front of him that it was just a normal secondary sound wave perception ability, nothing special.

Green suddenly opened a dimensional gap and took out a piece of silk!

This silk fabric originated from a strange creature that Grimm discovered during his first mission to explore underground nests in the Nest World. The creature's main body was hidden under a fluffy, round, balloon-like skin, which was perfectly concealed by Grimm's perception at the time, except for the most basic sense of light.

However, in the underground environment of the Nest World, the evolutionary direction of organisms tends to be towards sound wave perception, with very few exhibiting super-photosensory evolution.

Generally speaking, the evolutionary patterns of species in a world tend to follow the same direction, or the evolutionary patterns of organisms in a small, relatively isolated region tend to follow the same direction, influenced by the world's rules and environment.

Therefore, that creature was able to thrive in the nest world.

Later, because this creature attacked Hachi's Mud Beast, it was marked by the angry and sad Hachi using the mysterious power of bird droppings. It was only after much difficulty that Grimm captured it and stripped it of its most valuable research material, its fur.

Green privately named it the Skin That Hides Sound.

The skin and fur are two separate parts, separated by Green.

This creature's skin is extremely effective at concealing and sealing off the presence of other creatures, including their ability to sense temperature.

Green regarded this as a powerful vessel for self-sealing magic. Unfortunately, Green did not have any knowledge about self-sealing magic and wanted to study it himself, but he had been occupied with the study of the power of annihilation for many years and had not had the opportunity. Therefore, it was preserved.

Green used a small portion of the creature's fur to weave this sound-absorbing yarn.

This sound-absorbing silk is a precious material that Grimm prepared to make the Robe of Appearance. Its sole function is to evade sound wave perception, a function that will be a nightmare for sound wave wizards and creatures that can perceive sound waves normally!

For example... the dead Hillwoods, the Mask of No Form Nilmazar, the Big Ben Stigmata Wizard, and these stone bats in front of him!

The area woven with sound-absorbing silk yarn was large enough that Green carefully wrapped himself up.

The fur woven into sound-absorbing yarn has evolved ingeniously, much like the outer metal of the Grimm's Shadow Meteorite. The outside world cannot perceive anything from the inside, but the inside can clearly perceive the outside world. Otherwise, Grimm would just be putting himself in a cage.

Slowly, Green flew into the forest of stone pillars.

Sure enough, the Bloodstained Stone Bat's sound waves passed through the outer layer of darkness, but were cleverly "slid" past the moment they touched the sound-absorbing silk, without any rebound or refraction. Green achieved perfect invisibility in the sound wave detection!

"Heh heh heh heh, the robe of appearances, I'm getting more and more excited!"

Green continued to wander silently through the stone pillar forest, disappearing into darkness, just as before, searching for the vague aura of evil blood.

After about half an hourglass period.

Compared to other new-generation Bloodmarked Stonebats that are only a dozen centimeters long, this was a massive stonebat over two meters long. Its gray skin resembled a stone, and its two enormous wings protected it as it hung upside down on top of a stone pillar, completely unaware of Green's lurking approach.

"Twelve meters away, that's within the attack range of the Annihilation Power Arc."

These are calm eyes, devoid of any desire or fluctuation.

Quietly, Green extended his ram-horned skull magic wand and pointed it towards the bottom of the ancient stone bat's head, which was hanging upside down.

Crackling sounds!

Black arcs of electricity merged into the darkness, flashing and shooting towards the dormant stone bat.

The stone bat reacted the instant the arc of annihilation power was released, instinctively flapping its wings to protect itself and try to avoid the terrifying attack that made it feel the approach of death.

"We still couldn't execute a perfect sneak attack."

The stone bat's alertness and evasion stemmed from several factors: firstly, the disruptive force of the electric arc pulling at the light source; secondly, the oscillation of energy waves; and finally, the overwhelming sense of impending death that Grimm could not conceal.

But even if one realizes it, it's already too late.

boom!

The crisp, clear sound of energy reverberated through the grotto, yet it also sounded like the dull thud of a stone falling into water.

The annihilating power of the electric arc easily pierced through the stone bat's proud wing defenses, shattering and obliterating its head. With a "bang," the stone pillar on which the stone bat was hanging upside down was also shattered and obliterated.

However, due to the nature of the annihilation power, it did not cause exaggerated large-scale damage, and effectively concentrated the energy fluctuations.

Boom!

The stone pillar collapsed, and the terrifying energy fluctuations instantly caused the cave to boil over, with thousands of stone bats flapping their wings in fright and taking flight.

Snapped!

With a single, fatal blow, the headless corpse of the level-three ancient stone bat fell to the ground, a smooth, half-meter-diameter hole pierced through its wing, the flesh and blood completely gone.

"It's a success."

Green flashed to the side of the stone bat corpse, took out a new crystal bottle, and searched for the evil blood inside the ancient stone bat, collecting it.

Another hundred witch essences have been obtained.
