Chapter 45 Main Character?
Green bowed his head and bent over, quietly sensing the energy fluctuations in the far distance.
After a day of extensive exploration of the entire secret realm, Green confirmed two things.
The first thing is that there are seven energy fluctuation points in this secret realm, which seem to represent seven entrance trigger devices.
Secondly, the seven desperate individuals are attacking and killing any other wizard apprentices who dare to approach from four directions.
Green didn't understand why these seven desperate people didn't just enter the secret realm directly, but instead wasted a lot of time stopping other wizard apprentices.
Just to plunder more mark points?
On the first day, apart from a very few foolish wizard apprentices who lost their lives, most of the wizard apprentices who were somewhat confident in themselves chose to lie in wait in the distance for a better opportunity, while quite a few wisely chose to give up.
The location Green chose to lie in ambush at this moment was the weakest of the four locations he had found in the Desperate Squad throughout the day.
Of the other three locations, one was emanating a terrifying aura of despair, exceeding a terrifying 100 points. The other two locations had two and three despairs gathered there, respectively. Only this location was guarded by a despair who seemed to be the weakest guardian.
It seems that most of the other wizard apprentices had similar thoughts to Green, choosing this location to lie in wait for the right opportunity.
Green, like a very patient hunter, simply took out the seeds of the ground bud and hid himself underground, completely lying in wait.
The next day, seven or eight people scattered around this location couldn't contain themselves and rushed towards the distant secret realm, only to be met with a series of screams.
On the third day, two wizard apprentices charged towards the Desperate Ones guarding this location. In the end, they detonated a Flame Fusion Bead, and a vast amount of fire elemental power swept across the sky. Under the cover of this fiery power, one of the wizard apprentices escaped death.
On the fourth day, perhaps influenced by the Flame Fusion Orb from the previous day, many wizard apprentices believed that the guardian here must be injured, so they launched an attack, resulting in terrified screams.
On the fifth day, no wizard apprentices dared to attack the secret realm anymore; it seemed that all the wizard apprentices had left out of despair.
However, after one wizard apprentice after another "died," the desperate people in this location also unleashed an even more terrifying wave of imprint, a sign that the imprint value had reached one hundred.
At this moment, there were six corpses piled up in front of Green, all of which Green had collected over the past few days.
Firstly, Green wanted to use these corpses to investigate the magical abilities of the Desperate Ones guarding this location; secondly, the Magical Worm Queen that Green obtained from the Ripple Wizard required a large number of corpses for cultivation.
After a moment of silence, Green finally decided that he had to go and test the waters no matter what. If the desperate man was truly unable to resist, it wouldn't be too late to retreat.
Thinking this, Green no longer hesitated, took out a bottle from the cloth bag at his waist, gently opened the cap, and immediately the black insects inside the bottle desperately burrowed into the corpse on the ground.
Through the manner of death of these six corpses, Linge gained some initial understanding of the sorcery of the desperate man in the far distance.
First of all, this desperate person must be someone with extremely strong earth and wood elemental magic, which can be seen from the fact that five out of the six people died from earth and wood elemental magic.
Secondly, this desperate man also seemed to have considerable knowledge of poisons. Although only one wizard apprentice died from poisoning, Green couldn't tell the specific poison that had been used on the apprentice.
The only thing Green could be thankful for was that, because of his research in pharmacology, he carried two full bottles of potent antidote with him.
Two bottles of potent antidotes: one that strongly breaks down plant-derived toxins, and the other that promotes the excretion of many metallic toxins. For some highly toxic substances extracted from animals, Green has two bottles of his own milder, conventional antidotes.
After one hourglass period.
With a rustling, low buzzing sound, the six corpses turned into six skeletons, and at the same time, a giant magical maggot monster, three meters long, appeared in front of Green.
At first glance, this giant magical worm has six jet-black truncated legs, two powerful purplish-red chelicerae, a black and shiny back with scattered purple spots, and two pairs of gray-black short wings. Everything about it seems to be an enlarged version of the magical worm.
However, upon closer inspection, this so-called giant magical worm is actually composed of thousands upon thousands of tiny magical worms, making it look quite terrifying.
Grimm has a direct spiritual connection with the core insect queen of this giant magical insect, so this giant magical insect is indirectly equivalent to Grimm's soul servant, even though this soul servant only has a lifespan of one day.
After making these preparations, Green, carrying the giant magic lord, headed towards the secret realm without hesitation.
A moment later, Green suddenly stopped, while the giant magical beast continued to flap its wings, its two claws standing majestically behind Green like a loyal monster guard.
Under the ultrasonic sorcery of the pale mask, a black and white image appeared in his mind. The image penetrated through layers of trees and grass within fifteen meters, but he found no trace of anyone. However, Green's keen nose smelled a "familiar" scent, as if he had been secretly followed by this guy during the previous trial.
"Come out, Lord Desperate Thief."
Beneath the pale mask, Green stood motionless with his arms crossed, speaking coldly.
Based on the intelligence analysis over the past few days, Green was quite certain that the Desperate One guarding this direction was most likely the mysterious Ghost Thief.
"Hehe, actually I've always been curious about how you found out about me."
With a somewhat eerie voice, the upper body of a wizard apprentice slowly emerged from the soil about twenty-five meters to Green's left. The person rested his chin on his hands, had a leaf in his mouth, and looked at Green with curiosity, but his expression was somewhat lazy and bored.
Seeing that this desperate man didn't take him seriously at all, Green narrowed his eyes slightly behind his pale mask. The giant magical creature behind him blurred and rushed in front of Ghost Thief in the next moment, causing a large amount of dirt to fly up with a loud bang.
Judging from the visual estimation, the attack intensity of this giant magical insect is approximately between 20 and 60 degrees. Moreover, due to the insect queen's immortality, its combat power is probably even stronger than that of Yocris.
"So unfriendly, huh? You probably don't know yet, but right now you're the real protagonist of the entire training ground, hehehehe..."
The thief's body reappeared from a tree trunk a dozen meters to Green's right, appearing and disappearing unpredictably.
Green remained unmoved. A raging fireball transformed into a firebird, which nimbly flew towards the Ghost Thief. A moment later, with a boom, the fire waves scattered in all directions.
"Fine, I'm not playing with you anymore. Let those guys decide."
The Ghost Thief reappeared on a steep cliff about forty meters in front of Green, looking helpless, before shouting directly at the distant sky, "The Pale Mask has appeared here..."
The voice of the ghost thief, emitted at a specific frequency, was clearly audible to other desperate people at least a thousand meters away.
With a change of expression, Green didn't know what the ghost thief was up to, but instinctively sensed something was wrong. Without thinking, he summoned a wind elemental bat, leaped onto it, and tried to escape.
Pfft!
A wooden spear pierced through the wind elemental bat beneath Green, and instantly the spear was covered with dense branches and thorns. The wind elemental bat let out a silent wail and vanished into thin air.
The thief emerged halfway out of a tree trunk not far from where Green had fallen to the ground. His unusually long tongue seemed to lick the sweat from his forehead with some excitement as he chuckled, "Hehe, you can't escape. You'd better cooperate and put on a good show later."
Green's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "What do you mean?"
"Huh? I treated you like this, and you didn't even yell at me? I'm so sad, hehehe..."
The thief ignored Green and muttered to himself.
In the distance, the mechanical tail behind Mechanical Heart had returned to normal and was raised with vitality. At this moment, he heard the voice of Ghost Thief in the distance and couldn't help but turn his head to look.
"Hehe, Victor, that Pale Mask is here. Shall we go join the fun?"
Beside the Mechanical Heart, a witch apprentice with a devilishly alluring figure and an angelic face spoke with a seductive smile.
This alluringly beautiful woman is none other than Claudius, codenamed Enchantress, one of the seven desperate ones.
The long red and green dress, adorned with eerie red scorpions, partially concealed Clédice's private parts while simultaneously highlighting her exaggeratedly alluring and graceful curves.
A mysterious, shimmering gold necklace slid down her snow-white chest into the gap between her two towering peaks, drawing the eye and sparking endless fantasies. Her face, full of alluring charm, yet bearing an expression of untouchable purity, truly made her an irresistible enchantress!
Victor, the Mechanical Heart, cursed the man-eating monster in his heart and refused to look at her again. He knew that this beautiful-faced Catherine was actually a true viper.
"Hmph, although I want to get revenge, the two sides are fighting so fiercely that I'd better not get involved."
After a moment's hesitation, Victor, the Mechanical Heart, said this.
"Oh... what a pity. Oh well, since you're not going, I won't go either."
As she spoke, Catherine stopped spinning a golden ring on her index finger, her fiery red lips lightly biting her fingertip, and she murmured in an alluring voice, "Hmm, I wonder if that guy can withstand the power of the Son of the Sun. That crazy woman is ridiculously strong."
After Catherine finished speaking, she slowly spat out a red scorpion with two pairs of transparent wings, which landed on her fingertip. Catherine whispered, "Go over there and help Mother investigate the situation."
After saying that, the scorpion flew into the air and disappeared in a flash.
In the distant sky, a magnificent imprint rippled with blazing flames. The Son of the Sun, carrying the momentum to incinerate all things, pressed down into the distance, seemingly intent on destroying everything in its path, its target being the already locked-on Green!
On the other side, Black Sota, Soram, and Bibi Leona, at varying speeds, also charged toward Green without giving an inch.
Both sides seem to want to use Green as the starting point to launch a life-or-death duel!
