Wizard's Journey

Chapter 947 Bamboo Thorns

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...

The black flame giant, over two hundred meters tall, walked step by step. To the true form of the Black Flame Soul Giant, the treehouse of the plant was nothing more than a child's beach castle model. Unintentionally, it left dozens of huge footprints between the treehouses. After it left, the footprints continued to burn with raging flames, and the surrounding ice melted.

The ice crystal trees, reaching the chest height of the elemental fire giant, were leaning precariously. For a low-level plant being, the city of the Pearl of the Sea was quite large. For Grimm at this moment, it was only a dozen steps or so, and he had already arrived at the frozen seashore.

"Oh? There's still some left?"

On a giant lotus-leaf-shaped ship frozen on the sea, a giant evil taro flower opened its petals, saving the bamboo-like thorn that had sacrificed its life to protect it from an attack from the extreme cold.

At this moment, Bamboo Thorn stood tall and slender on the crest of a wave that had frozen solid in the last moment of its rolling tide. In disbelief and horror, it stared at the city of pearls on the sea that had been transformed into an icy hell. Its body trembled uncontrollably, and no words could express its feelings at this moment.

The once vibrant city is now empty except for me!

Loneliness, fear, despair...

Forgetting death at this moment, Bamboo Thorn gazed at the terrifying black flame figure over two hundred meters tall on the shore of the island. Its unparalleled figure stood majestically, with two large mouths on its chest and back, one crying and one laughing, exuding an aura of unease and bewilderment that made people tremble.

It was actually devouring the souls of the dead plant people on the island.

"Evil monster, kill me too, or the Fern Kings of the Parasitic Spore World will surely use your corpse as raw material for the most fertile soil in this world!"

The bamboo thorns roared, and thousands of bamboo leaves scattered from their bodies, shooting towards the black flame giant like layers of flying knives, accompanied by a frenzied roar of weakness, cutting through the air with a piercing sound.

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff...

However, before these bamboo leaves could even get close to the elemental form of the Black Flame Soul Giant, they were evaporated by the high temperature naturally emanating from Grin, making it impossible for them to cause even the slightest harm to Grin.

Grimm glanced at the lowly creature with a bored expression, and was about to casually wipe the ant away when he suddenly remembered something, and his arm, which was gripping the Abyss Magic Staff, stopped in mid-air.

"Hmm, a fern-like plant person, huh? As a noble of this world, you should know quite a bit. Well then, I'll keep you here."

As he spoke, Grimm's magic surged, and a powerful force of repulsion and attraction erupted. The bamboo-like thorn plant, along with the glacier within a radius of tens of meters below it, was imprisoned in mid-air by Grimm's force of repulsion and attraction, as if it were shrouded in a super-imprisoning magnetic field. No matter how the bamboo-like thorn struggled, it could not move even a little finger.

"Monster, what are you trying to do? As the great fern-like plant being of this world, I will never submit to you, never!"

As if trying to mask its helplessness with shouts, the bamboo and thorns had only this last means of resistance left.

"Hehehehe..."

The black flame giant opened its mouth, revealing a ghostly face of soul fire with a ferocious and evil smile. It then slid its long tail behind it and pounced on the bamboo thorns that were imprisoned in mid-air.

…………

Amidst violent struggles, spasms, and trembling, the bamboo thorns awoke with a start.

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

More than a dozen giant fireballs fell from the sky, completely erasing the Pearl City of the Sea in the Parasitic Spore World. Grin, who had regained his human form, was shrouded in seven-colored runes, leaning on his Extreme Cold Magic Staff. His two-colored eyes, hidden beneath a gray-white spiral-patterned mask, looked over, deep and full of wisdom and mystery.

"Owner!"

At this moment, the bamboo thorn has become Grimm's soul slave, completely submitting to the will of the great wizard, no different from the millions of monsters in the soul slave army.

"Hmm, tell me about the power structure of this world..."

After a few hourglasses.

After gaining a general understanding of the marine realm's subordinate position in the parasitic spore world from the bamboo thorn, Green nodded, his figure shifted, and he transformed into the evil taro flower that had previously followed behind the bamboo thorn. He then flashed and followed behind the bamboo thorn.

"Since you know nothing about the special things hidden in the ocean, go find some special creatures here; they should know some clues."

A special kind of creature?

As a fern-like plant, a noble in the world of parasitic spores, the bamboo thorn rarely ventures into the ocean and rarely cares about these creatures living in the barren sea. In fact, this is its first time going to sea!

After thinking for a while, Bamboo Thorn suddenly remembered a place that Evil Fern had told her about on the way here, and a brilliant idea struck her.

"Master, I know a place called the Boiling Sea, which has an ancient plant called Flame Algae. It is said that some strange creatures are hidden there, and it is a famous dangerous place in the world of parasitic spores."

A boiling sea?

Grimm, in his Evil Tarantula form, nodded and said calmly, "Go take a look."

Green's task of stabilizing the world rift and lighting up the spacetime altar is impossible with ordinary world nodes; only large world nodes can do it.

The Kiss of Souls provided Grimm with materials for three Time-Space Altars. If one altar could be lit, it would guarantee the free passage of Level 4 Saint Mark Wizards through the World Passage; two altars would allow Level 5 Saint Mark Wizards to pass without worry; and if all three altars were lit…

Pfft!Pfft!

Bamboo Thorn and Green fell into the sea one after the other and disappeared without a trace.

Seven days later.

"Is this the Flame Algae?"

A fiery red seaweed, shaped like a starfish, continuously emits astonishing heat into the seawater, causing the seawater to boil. The marine life living here is extremely heat-resistant, making it a rich paradise of biological specimens!

After collecting some biological specimens, Green gradually sank to the bottom of the sea and took out a set of materials for the Time-Space Altar.

A terrifying pressure emanated from his body, and in an instant, the marine creatures from all directions fled like startled birds. Green silently assembled the spacetime altar according to the method given by the Soul-Devouring Kiss Saint Mark Wizard.

Unaware of the specific workings of this spacetime altar, Green made mistakes more than a dozen times before finally assembling it successfully after half a month. It resembled a strange octopus with many tentacles spread out, its central area radiating a mysterious azure light, with a small mouth open.

"Hmm, let's try to see if the world node here can be connected to the altar in the Spirit World."

As Grimm muttered to himself in a low voice, a beam of black flame, condensed from a large amount of magic, was thrown toward the center of the altar, distorting the space around it, as if trying to connect with some unseen connection.

"Master, there's a response!"

The bamboo and thorns murmured expectantly.

"Um."

Under Green's silent gaze, strange red afterglows emerged from the tip of the black flame's outer flame. After burning stubbornly for a while, it eventually extinguished, damaging the altar materials as well. It seemed that it would be scrapped after a few more failures.

"Oh, is that not allowed?"

Without much hesitation, Grimm, disappointed, collected all the materials from the Time-Space Altar, turned his two-colored eyes to look around, searching for any potentially intelligent and unique creatures that might exist in this sea area.
