Wizard's Journey

Chapter 896 Eerie Laughter

We can finally start hunting Chaos Cores.

Chaos crystal cores only appear in organisms of D rank and above. The lower the rank of the chaotic crystal core, the shorter the preservation time. In fact, F rank crystal cores often begin to melt and dissolve as soon as they are taken out of the body. They are extremely difficult to preserve and cannot be used for internal transactions within the evolved human race.

As for high-grade crystal cores, they are in short supply, and people often consume and evolve them as soon as they get them, so there is no question of trading them.

Situ Mo advanced alone, crouching low, like a wolf poised to pounce. In this chaotic, misty world, he was no longer at the bottom of the food chain, but had begun to hunt.

Situ Mo's target was the ape-man tribe that had once discovered large mushroom fields.

Back then, this group of ape-men killed several of Situ Mo's important companions, and after Situ Mo had been wandering in the wilderness like a rat for several days, he finally found the base, only to receive the devastating news that his wife and daughter had died.

However, the environment of the chaotic apocalypse is changing every day. Plants are no longer as unchanging as they used to be for decades or hundreds of years. The migration of mutated beasts is commonplace. It is even possible that these ape-men could be suddenly wiped out by some super-evolved mutated beast that happens to be passing by.

Now, following his memory, Situ Mo arrives at the mushroom field, only to find it transformed into something entirely different, filled with twisted, strange trees.

buzzing...

A swarm of strange bees was living in a giant, blood-red nest. After Situ Mo carefully examined it from a distance, his eyelids twitched wildly. These strange bees were actually using the flesh and blood of other creatures mixed with mud to build their nest!

A tingling sensation ran through his body, and Situ Mo couldn't help but get goosebumps all over.

Each of these strange bees is over ten centimeters long, with purplish-red patterns, and even has a pair of giant pincers. Their mouths and teeth are spiral-shaped like those of primitive creatures, which is extremely advantageous for chewing animal flesh into mincemeat. The giant nest they built is over ten meters high and contains at least tens of thousands of strange bees.

"hiss……"

Situ Mo gasped and quietly retreated. These strange bees were probably something even a B-level evolved human like the director wouldn't dare to provoke.

As for himself?

A dead end!

After a while, having completely left the area of ​​the strange bee's nest, Situ Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, his clothes already soaked with cold sweat.

In the wild, besides food, getting water is extremely difficult, and even for evolved humans, there is no advantage, as much water is contaminated by superbugs.

As a seasoned hunter, Situ Mo naturally had his own way of surviving; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to marry a wife within the base.

He took out a short metal needle and walked for a while before finally finding a corpse rotting from the Chaos Plant. However, the corpse was covered with tree roots that stretched out from the ground. The roots looked fuzzy and seemed to be returning to the ground as the corpse's nutrients were exhausted.

With a "plop," the metal needle pierced the tree root.

The tree root writhed and desperately tried to retract into the ground, but Situ Mo held it firmly, sucking the fishy liquid from the iron needle. After a while, he finally pulled out the needle with satisfaction, and the hairy tree root disappeared into the ground in a flash.

"It seems that the ape-man race, which had just begun to show signs of improvement, has been completely wiped out. Otherwise, the mushroom field that they regarded as crops would not have been destroyed. There must have been some powerful mutated beast passing through this area."

Thinking of the ape-men, Situ Mo couldn't help but think of the CF-2 base. As for beings like the Devil's Locust Vine, the CF-2 base is probably the ape-men of today!

Roar……

A deep roar followed, and suddenly, a monster covered in slime appeared. It was probably an enlarged version of a lizard, exuding power, and it walked step by step toward Situ Mo, leaving dents in the ground as it weighed down.

Gum!

Situ Mo swallowed hard.

"This feels like a Class C mutated beast!"

Drawing his Blood Groove Blade, Situ Mo showed no weakness, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He walked step by step toward the mutated giant lizard, determined that no matter what the future held, only by wielding greater power could he change it!

……

The Wizarding World, the Secret Realm of the Tower of Oblivion.

For Situ Mo in the chaotic apocalypse, a few months was a fulfilling and satisfying time, but for the great Holy Mark Wizard, it was just a fleeting moment.

"Hehehehe, this mutated beast is quite strong. It seems unwilling to offer its Chaos Core to you and even wants to eat your flesh and blood to satisfy its hunger. If you die, your soul will be mine. What use are those wasted lives? Why not beg me now and exchange your future life force for even greater power..."

As a devilish character from another world who bewitches people and devours souls, Grimm murmured in a hoarse, low voice toward the Mirror of Dreams.

After a while, Green sighed, shook his head, and put the Dream Mirror aside.

"Hehehe, it's just a little thing that's not even a level one creature. Since it has already signed a contract, sooner or later, its greed for power or other attachments will lead it to continue to pray for stronger power. I, Eighth Master, have never heard of anyone who dares to actively pursue and fight for an elusive destiny after signing a devil's contract. Otherwise, how did those otherworldly evil gods open the gates of the world?"

Xiao Ba said dismissively.

"I never imagined that this world, which I stumbled upon by chance, would be so interesting. It seems that the chaotic world must be a vast world with extremely unique rules, otherwise, how could a mere experimental rift spew out several world lords, who would then hide away out of some kind of fear?"

Beneath the surface of truth, Green's heterochromatic eyes shone with intense anticipation.

"We must make these evolved humans restore the technology of the chaotic world rift opened by the spirit humans. It seems they are an intelligent, evolved species. As long as we can occupy this world and enslave these evolved humans, it will only be a matter of time before they restore the technology once possessed by the spirit humans. In fact, I am not the only one coveting this chaotic apocalyptic spirit human world!"

Green seemed to have discovered something from Situ Mo, the medium, and his laughter was particularly sinister.

"Due to the mutation of two different world rules, this world is rapidly evolving into a medium-sized world. In addition, even in this small CF-2 Evolved Human Base, there are alien creatures attempting to invade this world. I wonder how many alien creatures are spying on this world from other places. It is truly full of anticipation and unknowns. It seems that we need to find some powerful wizards to invade together..."

Expeditions are different from invasions.

Expeditions refer to a planned demon-hunting expedition by the Wizarding World through the Lever of Fate, while invasions refer to the invasion of alien worlds connected to the Wizarding World by Stigmata Wizards through world rifts.

This chaotic, post-apocalyptic world of spirits is not within the same world cluster as the wizarding world, and the wizarding will has not yet reached it. It would be extremely difficult to launch an expedition through the lever of fate.

However, it would be much easier to invade through the world rift.

A world rift has formed between the wizarding world and the wizarding world?

This is far too cruel for the ordinary world...

Moreover, with the War of Civilizations imminent, the coordinates of the alien world provided by the Shadow Wizards are far less than what the Stigmata Wizards of the Wizarding World need. Many powerful and ancient Stigmata Wizards are idle in the Stigmata Secret Realm, eager to do their best to enhance their foundation before the War of Civilizations, and strive to become ancient wizards who will be remembered by future generations of wizards after this war.

I believe that as long as Green issues a joint invasion mission, many old guys will rush to sign up, and Green won't even need to lift a finger to gain most of the benefits of this world!
