Age of Adepts Chapter 3: killer tree

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no popup, free to read!

This is an eerie magic swamp.

Although in the daytime, the warm sunshine cannot be projected through the thick fog, so the light here is slightly dim, and the background color of the entire environment is more bleak and khaki.

If you stay in such an environment for a long time, even your character will become more gloomy.

Wait until stone gate closes slowly behind them, Tony pulls up hood, coldly.

"I went there!"

Without saying Grim's answer, he turned and set foot on the left side of the intestine path covered with fine white stones.

When Tony's huge figure disappeared in the fog, Grim only pulled on hood and turned on the right path.

While walking, he said softly, "Call up the detection data of this Tony."

In the next second, a Biochip detection report of apprentice Tony was projected in his mind.

Name: Tony

Attribute: strength7 Agility3 Constitution8 Spiritual Force6

...

Grim stunned in surprise, with such a Constitution, why not change careers and become a brutal warrior. strength and Constitution are twice as much as themselves, which also means that if Grim fights with him, he may be beaten with a punch.

But as Apprentice Adept, his Spiritual Force is only 6 points, which is 2 points lower than himself. This essential advantage cannot be compensated by even more strength and Constitution.

So, he is planning to develop to Path of Close-Combat Sorcerer. Use various sorcerer medicine efforts to strengthen his body, and then use Witchcraft to assist his melee ability, this is probably the only way he can choose!

Biochip was able to detect such accurate data from the target's behavior and other information only after being close to the opponent for a while. This undoubtedly allows Grim to take more initiative in its interactions with others, and also avoid more unnecessary risks.

This is undoubtedly the most important thing for Grim!

But this detection method is probably not useful for the real Adept , because those Official Adept bodies always radiate a strong elemental fluctuation all the time. This is not only an instinctive expression of their own huge energy, but also a means to prevent outsiders from perceiving their true condition.

Under the strong interference of energy radiation, it is unknown how much valuable information Biological Assistance Chip can obtain from them. Even Grim cannot determine whether they will be aware of the existence of Biochip, so within Tower, he must be cautious and careful about the use of Biochip.

The gravel path in front of me is constantly winding and stretching in the fog, and weird plants can be seen on both sides of the road. Short thick conical trunk, closed leaf surface curled together, grapevine hanging in twos and threes, mysterious flowers with bright petals as big as a washbasin, wet and dirty smelly cement pond ...

This scene looks very ordinary and common, but Grim knows that he must not take half a step on the gravel path.

Almost none of the animals and plants that can survive in magic swamp are gentle and kind, all of them are terrible monster that eat people and don't spit out bones.

The low trees that look very shy are the terrible killer tree. Once you get close to them, their curled leaves will suddenly stretch and hold you in your arms. And at this time, the Blood Sucking Vine hanging on it will be tangled up, piercing countless sharp tentacles into your body, letting you experience the dying of life in the drop of blood.

After your blood is sucked, the remaining flesh Skeleton becomes the best fertilizer for killer tree.

If you are fortunate enough to remove the scarlet soil in the black sink under the feet of killer tree, you will definitely find dense white bones, human bones, and animal bones. This is the only proof of existence left by the prey they once preyed on!

The reason why swamp Tower supports these monsters is to prevent intruders from the outside world, and to harvest some special magical materials.

The rhizomes of killer tree and the blood sacs bred in the Blood Sucking Vine body are good tonics. It is also a useful supplement for Constitution, which has always been not very good Adept . Every so often, Apprentice Adept will come here to pick materials at the risk of being attacked by magical plants, so this is also a dangerous task with a high death rate.

Perhaps I sensed the flesh and blood of Grim. Just now, death qi's heavy swamp jungle has suddenly become active. Those monster outside the senses and vision of Grim are creeping their bodies and branches intentionally or unintentionally, slowly approaching the gravel path. But when Grim's glanced over, they would stand still again, as if they had never moved.

For these small actions of magical plants, Grim has not seen it, and has not paid attention to it at all.

Even if they are crazy and brutal, they still dare not cross this simple and simple gravel path under their feet, as if there is something on them that makes them afraid.

"Query the database, archive magical plant in front of you!"

"Failure to start the mission ... the ontology database is corrupted and species matching is not possible ... open elemental vision, remodeling ..."

With a series of Chip Notification sounds, the image projected on his retina was shaking first, and then a huge amount of data poured down from the top of the waterfall, and the colorful dazzling light rendered every object in the field of vision colorful. .

elemental vision? Is this a special means by which the chip fuses his current physical ability?

The green base indicates the plant nature of these monsters, while the chromophores such as red, yellow, blue, and purple indicate where they converge. In addition, the environmental humidity, temperature, wind, toxic substance particle concentration, elementium distribution and flow are constantly changing slightly ... All the data changes that can be detected by the chip are presented to him in the form of dynamic color graphics.

Grim frowned.

This colorful and overly complicated projection of the horizon has seriously affected his normal vision. How does this make him see things in the future?

"Remove invalid chromatograms ... Remove diffuse dazzling light ... Only focus elemental vision on several common energy spectrums ..."

As the Grim command was conveyed step by step, the dazzling glory group just now faded little by little, and all the substances in the field of vision restored their true colors again. However, under the perspective of Biochip's powerful elemental vision, the edges of all materials showed signs of translucency, and even the element particles diffused in the air became faintly visible.

It was still a pale and dense fog just now. In the eyes of Grim at this moment, it is a bunch of Water Element particles flowing slowly, piece by piece. They are under the constraint of a mysterious strength and cannot be diffused. They can only be shrouded over this magic swamp over the years.

Grim is standing in shape, the twin pupils hidden in the shadow of hood flashing light, looking at the roadside magical plants without blinking. Under the new visual perception, the other side of the other party hidden under the camouflage finally revealed every delicate hair was completely shown.

Under the withered and wrinkled bark, there are dense and horrible grimaces, which are the soul of killer tree forcibly restraint. On the gray body of killer tree, the edges of the curled foliage, and the tip of the needle-like wooden spines, Grim also "sees" the green-green energy dazzling light. This should be the energy spectrum radiation presented by killer tree paralysis venom.

The Blood Sucking Demon Vine parasitic on killer tree is below the Grim's elemental vision, and it is a whole red horrible monster. Under the twisted and squirming grass green skin, pure blood flows, and in the hollow tree cavity where the killer tree is combined, the blood sacs of the size of a fist are rising and shrinking regularly. It looks exactly like the human heart.

Guā Guā ...

With several harsh hissing noises, a group of Scavenger Crowss flew from a distance and landed on a branch, blinking scarlet eyes and staring at Grim.

Honestly, being watched by such a group of ominous monster, Grim feels uncomfortable all over.

For such an unsolicited group of swamp monster, Grim dare not neglect. Although Scavenger Crows is not Powerful magic beast, the pair of scarlet blood pupils also has a slight "demented" ability, and there have been previous terrible examples of Apprentice Adept being pecked by their eyes.

I saw that Scavenger Crows was eager to try, Grim raised his right hand and whispered his well-known in the heart magic spell. With the completion of casting magic in 5 seconds, a large and bright red magic flame exploded in the hands of Grim, and the surging twist was not continual. stand up.

The entire right hand of Grim is completely wrapped in magic flame, but it is still intact.

Burning Hand!

This is the only one by one Witchcraft that Grim mastered after studying in Adept Tower for 6 years.

With the current methods of Grim, it is only worthy to extend the magic fire caused by Burning Hand beyond 5 steps. So it still can only be regarded as a close-up Witchcraft.

The magic flame, which reflects the surrounding dense fog, is burning in flames. The strong fire element fluctuation finally made the monster in this swamp jungle realize that the humans in front of them are not easily captured by them.

The monsters who have slowly gathered around Grim seem to be greatly frightened, one by one fleeing the sides of the trail in panic. The group of Scavenger Crows was Guā Guā yelling and flew up into the sky, disappeared in the depths of the fog after a short circle.

Grim took a long breath and finally felt relieved.

These monsters will never dare to set foot on this gravel path, but this does not prevent them from tricking or intimidating Apprentice Adept in their own way from this path. Once the Grim is scared by the terrible scenes surrounded by them, and panic runs out of the path, then even if magic talisman exists, it is difficult to protect his life.

The soul and flesh of a Apprentice Adept is undoubtedly more delicious than those of ordinary humans and beasts. Moreover, this does not violate the agreement between monsters and Tower Adept . Therefore, every time you visit the tower outside is a deep check on spiritual will. Once a psychic loophole is caught by these monsters, the end of Apprentice Adept will definitely not be better.

"Record all the monster data!" Grim said calmly.

"Beep ... has been recorded! Please name it Host's Body. "

"killer tree ... Blood Sucking Demon Vine ... Scavenger Crows ..."

"Named! New materials have been added to the database."
