Chapter 124: Guarding the Forest
“I really came to the right place for this trip!”
Heath was overjoyed.
The harvest in the Magic Bug Forest had exceeded his expectations, mainly because there were too many new species here.
The Bloodthirsty Giant Mosquito the size of a basketball, the Human-Faced Hard Bug with a human face on its back, the Mutated Bug-Tailed Banshee, the Baby Worm that would cry like a child… There were countless species.
These species were all new species that Wizard Parker had created by modifying the life sequences based on the original species. Basically, every species could be extracted in Heath’s hands.
Extracted attributes, extracted life sequence, and even extracted talent.
Strength, spells, and knowledge. Triple development!
And these three were the most important training items for Wizards. They were difficult problems that could not be avoided in the path of Wizards.
Strength determined the foundation. Only with sufficient strength could one learn the corresponding spells. The foundation of spells came from knowledge. Only with sufficient knowledge could one stack up powerful spells.
No matter how gifted a Wizard was, they could only work hard and expend their energy. But when it came to Heath, they were indeed advancing at the same time. The three items were advancing together. It had to be said that this method of cheating was too shameless!
‘This is exactly why I should work harder. This is worthy of the fortune bestowed by God!’
Clenching his fist, Heath reminded himself silently.
Then, he quickly restrained the joy in his heart and returned to a calm state of mind as he walked forward.
Towards the lush forest, towards the promising future.
And also towards…
A Wizard!
…
On the other side, in the depths of the Magic Bug Forest.
In the depths of the Magic Bug Forest stood a Wizard tower. It was about ten meters tall, and its appearance was similar to an ordinary Wizard tower. It had grayish-black stone walls, towering columns, mottled nettles, spiral stone steps, small stone windows, and so on.
This was the guarding tower that the Wizards had left here. It was originally used for the guarding Apprentices to live, train, experiment, and lock up prisoners.
With the departure of the Shadow Tower, the Forest Guard Tower was naturally abandoned. Now, only a few prisoners and Green Goblins responsible for maintaining the operation of the tower remained here.
At this moment, in front of the Forest Guard Tower.
Da! Da! Da!
A series of footsteps sounded.
The treetops in front of the tower shook, and a young Apprentice walked out of the forest. It was one of the Apprentices who had fought alongside Heath, Marcel.
On the green lawn, the Green Goblins were doing their daily work. When they saw Marcel walking over, they immediately became alert.
A Green Goblin raised his hands and cast a spell. His long and thin fingers aimed at Marcel. “This is the Forest Guard Tower of the Magic Bug Forest. Unfamiliar Wizards, please stop!”
“Give me your secret order, or else please leave this place!”
“Leave this place!”
Although Green Goblins were useful, they were expensive to raise. The Shadow Tower could not use so many Green Goblins after putting down the scepter. Therefore, most of the Green Goblins that were left outside received the mission to guard the place.
With only low-level intelligence, they naturally would not think too much. They just diligently carried out the orders left behind by the Wizards.
Da! Marcel stopped in his tracks.
He took out a glass bottle from the package. To one’s surprise, there was a translucent little person inside the bottle.
Anyone who was familiar with spells could recognize the situation at a glance: the soul in the bottle.
The bottle contained a female Apprentice. It was the missing official Apprentice of the Shadow Tower, Donna. It was also the one that Marcel had clung onto when he was in the Shadow Tower, and…
Dona was also one of the Guardians of the Magic Bug Forest and a student of Wizard Parker.
Taking out the small bottle, Marseille shook it gently. “Hey, wake up! Don’t sleep!”
Dona was woken up in the bottle. When she saw Marcel outside, her eyes were burning with flames. “You despicable and shameless person! The Wizards will not let you go! You will become a Dark Wizard and live in pursuit forever!”
Marcel smiled as if nothing had happened. “The Shadow Tower can no longer protect itself. Now, the entire Underdark Treesea can no longer take care of itself. Moreover, compared to the resources in the treasury, the title of a mere Dark Wizard is nothing.”
Donna’s face turned red and she said in anger, “How could I have believed you, you scum!”
Marcel laughed loudly. “Hahaha, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for your own debauchery. You didn’t even notice that I put anti-magic potions into the lust potion. You are even more horny than a common sl*t!”
As he spoke, a sickly expression appeared on Marcel’s face. The feeling of killing someone when they were having an orgasm was truly extraordinary.
Marcel had even decided that after this was over, he would definitely find a few more women to experience it again.
Donna was so angry that she couldn’t speak. “You… You…”
Marcel wiped away the smile on his face. “Alright, cut the crap. Quickly tell me the secret order.”
Donna said coldly, “In your dreams!”
Marcel knew that she was very stubborn, so he didn’t continue to talk nonsense. Instead, he opened the bottle cap and stuffed a strange blue flower into it.
The moment the bottle cap was opened, Donna tried to escape, but she was blocked by the seal at the bottle mouth.
Marcel said, “For the sake of the past, I’ll give you one last chance. If you cooperate obediently, I promise to let you out after the matter is done.”
Donna sneered. “The Amina family will not let you off!”
Marcel said angrily, “You asked for it!”
As he spoke, he immediately drew a rune on the glass bottle. The blue grass in the bottle suddenly burst into flames with a ‘bang’.
The blue flame instantly engulfed Donna in the bottle. As if she had encountered some kind of extreme pain, Donna immediately let out a miserable scream. “Soul Devouring Flame Flower! Soul Devouring Flame Flower! No!”
The flame soon dissipated.
Donna was still standing in the bottle. There was no change in her appearance, but her eyes had become dull and stupefied.
Soul Devouring Flame Flower: a soul-type material in the Wizard World. When combined with a specific spirit-type spell, it could burn the spiritual part of the soul and retain the pure soul origin.
Marcel continued to ask, “What’s the secret order?”
This time, Donna did not hesitate and answered truthfully. “The secret order is…”
With the secret order that he had just received, Marcel successfully made the Green Goblins, who were only following orders, step aside.
He raised his head to look at the unobstructed tower, his expression excited and elated.
In the years he had been with Donna, he had found out about her g-spot and also uncovered many secrets, including the one related to the Forest Guard Tower, which was a treasure trove that even Wizards would be tempted to look at…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At this moment, the sound of wings flapping could be heard.
Then, a striped bug flew over from afar and landed on Marcel’s shoulder.
Both sides seemed to be communicating.
The smile on Marcel’s face immediately froze.
“These greedy little people!”
He cursed in a low voice and walked into the tower. At the same time, he ordered the Green Goblins around him, “Whoever comes after me, kill them!”
At some point, a dark cloud suddenly gathered at the top of the tower.
It seemed that a storm was coming…
…
A few days later, in Magic Bug Forest.
The dark cloud that had been overcast for a few days finally fell with a loud rumble this morning.
The rain was very rapid, and in just one morning, it turned into a rainstorm.
Somewhere in Magic Bug Forest.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal interweaving with the sound of splashing rain could be heard.
In the pouring rain, Heath was fighting with a monster.
It was a Demonized Giant Ant. It was about five meters long and more than two meters tall when it stood up. Its pincer-like sharp mouth could spit acid that could easily corrode steel. Its strength was as high as over 30 points.
The battle continued for several minutes. Heath took the opportunity to jump on the Demonized Giant Ant’s head. He stabbed the crossguard sword into the Demonized Giant Ant’s head. The yellowish-brown blood mixed with the red and white brain fluid sprayed onto Heath’s face.
The Demonized Giant Ant’s huge body finally fell to the ground with a rumble, splashing a large amount of mud.
“Phew!”
Heath let out a sigh of relief. He then used the back of his hand to roughly wipe the bloodstains on his face. He jumped off the Demonized Giant Ant’s back and did his routine: ‘Extraction.’
[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.01]
[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Talent: Acid]
[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Demonized Giant Ant’s Life Sequence.]
Finally, two long tentacles of the Demonized Giant Ant were cut off, and the hunt was considered to have ended successfully.
Leaving the corpse on the ground, Heath looked around, hesitating whether he should continue the hunt.
The rain was too heavy. Heath himself hated the rain. Being wet in the rain would make him very impatient, which would affect his combat ability.
“Forget it. I’m not in a hurry. I’ll find a cave to shelter from the rain first.” After thinking for a moment, he made a decision quickly.
“I wonder if there’s a cave ahead?”
With this thought, he walked forward quickly. In such weather, it was better to build a fire in the cave, burn some meat, drink some wine, and hunt something later.
After walking forward for a few minutes, Heath suddenly stopped.
He frowned. “Is there a smell of blood?”
It was not surprising that there was a smell of blood in this forest full of fierce beasts, but this smell of blood was very unique.
It belonged to humans.
At present, who else could there be in this forest beside them?
“Is it Marcel and the others?”
Thinking in puzzlement, Heath walked forward. After walking for more than ten steps, he found a corpse beside a bush.
It was the corpse of a Knight, one of Jon’s followers.
The time of death should have been more than two days. This was what Heath had determined from the dark color of the Knight’s skin.
The Magic Bug Forest belonged to the land of elements. Ordinary humans could not stay in it for long. Marcel regularly gave them magic potions to fight against elements. If they were interrupted for more than 24 hours, their bodies would begin to react to the elements.
Whoosh! At this moment, there was a whoosh.
A strange insect suddenly jumped out from the bushes next to them. It was a giant insect that was about three meters long and looked like a giant fly. At the same time, there was a long, thin needle on its fat butt.
“Mylott Wasp!” Heath recognized the identity of this monster at a glance. It was a kind of demonized creature that Parker had bred with the Demonized Giant Fly and the Demonized Giant Wasp combined with the demon bloodline. It had the strength of a high-level demonized beast.
“Squeak!” At the same time, the strange insect let out a strange cry.
At the same time, it raised its butt high up, and a long and thin wasp needle instantly shot out from the catheter. Like an arrow, it let out a sharp whistle in the air and shot straight towards Heath!
