The next day, Grimm was lucky enough to see two stinky "green gnomes" in the tower.
These two were clearly the unlucky ones who had been attacked by the Sludge Monster. Furthermore, they were even more unlucky to have triggered the Shrinking Curse, which was why they ended up like this. But before Grimm could find out the reason, the two 'Green Dwarves' discovered Grimm's arrival. They stood in the distance and glared at him while gnashing their teeth.
Faced with their angry glares, Grim could not figure out the situation at all. He could only submit the transaction information to Danny as soon as possible, then turned around and left.
Danny was one of the most popular acolytes among the apprentices. He had built up an underground market by selling the information he needed. Grimm was here to sell the swamp lizard eggs and magic iron ores. If there were any interested apprentices, they would come to him to trade. He also took the opportunity to buy a few more practical small items from Danny.
Today, the Swamp Tower was undoubtedly much livelier than before. Most of the apprentices did not stay in their houses anymore. Instead, they came out to exchange the latest information with their "friends". Wizard Anderson's high profile forced mission was like a bomb. It had turned the life of the wizard apprentices upside down.
All the apprentices were forced to stop their research and watch the progress of the situation passionately and anxiously.
After all, only a small number of apprentices could choose their own mission the day before. Most of them were still hesitant. It could be seen that this mission was issued by the Scattered Tower Forest Sorcerer Association. This also meant that they would form a temporary team with other sorcerer-apprentices in the Scattered Tower Forest region. They would become teammates and fight side by side.
This situation had never happened before. It brought a sense of novelty to the apprentices, but it also brought endless fear and anxiety.
Grimm walked through the apprentices and slowly walked into the public hall on the second floor. When the apprentices gathered in twos and threes saw him, they could not help but shut their mouths and look at him with a hint of rejection. Even the "lone wolf" apprentices, who were usually able to talk to him, were hiding from him with complicated expressions on their faces.
Grim was like a lone wolf that had been rejected by a pack of wolves. He slowly walked through the bushes, but he could not find any companions that were willing to accept him. He pulled up his hood to hide his face and turned to leave the hall.
There were only three experts who could make everyone stay away from him, and that Allen was not qualified at all.
Grimm was not in the mood to find out why the three of them were hostile towards him. In any case, it was most likely related to Red Dress Mary. The only thing he cared about now was how to increase his strength in a short period of time so that he could survive that terrifying scouting mission.
When no one was paying attention, Grim slipped out of the Wizard Tower again.
When he appeared near the Silt Swamp again, Grim finally realized how desolate this place was.
Originally, no matter how smelly and desolate this place was, he could always sense groups of Onibabas hiding at the edge of the swamp, waiting for their prey. But today, standing at the edge of the pool, Grim scanned the area countless times but did not find any red dots that represented the Onibabas.
Within his field of vision, there were four or five large swamps. According to past habits, there would be a tribe of Onibabas living in each of the swamps. At most, there would be twenty or thirty of them, and at least seven or eight of them. It was always a prosperous scene.
Unfortunately, after the battle, the largest tribe in the swamp had suffered heavy losses. Even the Onibabas at the edge of the swamp had almost been wiped out. It was a pitiful sight.
But this was good too, as it saved him some trouble.
Grim was out to slay demons and monsters today, so he urgently needed a large battlefield. Even if the Onibabas had not died at Alice's hands, they would not be able to escape his slaughter today.
After patrolling the area once more, he scanned the surrounding terrain and allowed the A.I. Chip to record the terrain information into his brain. Only then did Grim take out the Earth Golem again.
After more than ten hours of recovery, the four energy nodes on the summoning core had been filled with earth elemental energy. It was the best time to summon the Earth Demon Puppet.
Grim threw the summoning core to the edge of the swamp. As soon as the core came into contact with the mud and water vapor, large clumps of yellow smoke rose up. This wasn't true gaseous smoke, but rather earth elemental particles that were extremely dense.
The earth elemental particles quickly gathered, and under the control of an indescribable will, the damp soil began to distort. Soon, a human-shaped Earth Demon Puppet about the same height as Grim appeared in front of him.
It was a pity that this was not a Stone Demon Puppet or an Iron Demon Puppet. Otherwise, its defense would definitely be ten times stronger, and it might even be able to face the Crocodile King head-on. You get what you pay for! The Earth Golem was cheap, but its defense was only comparable to that of a human warrior wearing a full set of leather armor. It was hard for the Swamp Crocodile to resist the Swamp Crocodile's shockingly sharp fangs and powerful tail swings.
However, the Swamp Crocodile was not without weaknesses. Otherwise, with the Crocodile King's strength comparable to that of a high-ranked Acolyte, Grim would have to be crazy to find trouble with it.
… …
It was early in the morning, and the swamp was still peaceful.
Less than half a mile away from the swamp where the Onibabas lived was the vast swamp where the Swamp Crocodiles lived. Here, groups of terrifying Giant Crocodiles were lying in the grass by the shore, sound asleep.
But just as they were enjoying their relaxed and contented lives, there was a loud splash, and a crooked figure plunged into the swamp that they relied on for survival.
Looking at the disheveled hair covered in moss, the dirty black claws, and the skinny but powerful body … It was their neighbor, the Onibabas.
As the native creatures of the Magic Swamp, all powerful magical creatures had their own territories and territories, and they did not interfere with each other's business. But today, this filthy Onibabas dared to invade the Swamp Crocodile's territory. This caused the Giant Crocodiles, who had just woken up from their sweet dreams, to become furious.
Without a word, seven or eight Giant Crocodiles leapt out of the grass and sank into the swamp, disappearing without a trace. Only a line of water could be seen quickly extending towards the Onibabas.
For some reason, the Onibabas who had fallen into the water had her limbs broken. Even though she had a strong body, she could not save herself. Soon, her upper body was bitten by a horrifying maw that broke out of the water, sinking to the bottom once more. More Giant Crocodiles appeared nearby, splashing water and churning mud. Having seen blood, the Crocodiles tore at the struggling Onibabas even more frenziedly.
A Giant Crocodile much larger than an ordinary Swamp Crocodile appeared by the shore.
Unlike the other Giant Crocodiles, it did not try to snatch food from the intruder. Instead, it propped itself up like a true king, slowly scanning the surroundings of the swamp for any signs of activity.
The Onibabas had their own leader, and would not have intruded into their territory for no reason. Could it be that Simba was trying to start a war between magical creatures?
As the leader of a specially evolved magical creature, the Swamp Crocodile King clearly had some basic intelligence, and could think rationally about some simple problems.
But just as it was feeling puzzled, another Onibabas drew a strange arc and dived into the depths of the swamp with a whistling wind. The Giant Crocodile King, who had just torn an intruder to shreds and was still not satisfied, immediately formed a group and pounced on the new prey.
Only the Swamp Crocodile King, who had not moved an inch from its perch on the shore, could clearly see that the new Onibabas had been thrown into the swamp, and the culprit was hiding behind a cluster of Ghost Trees not far from the swamp.
The Swamp Crocodile King immediately moved its short but thick limbs, wobbling towards the cluster of Ghost Trees. In order not to alarm the 'enemy', it purposely avoided the swamp, hiding in the thick weeds that reached its waist as it tiptoed towards its target.
It was clearly a huge creature, but it pretended to be an assassin in the wilderness. Grim, who was hiding on a Ghost Tree in the distance, could not help but shake his head as he watched.
Magical creatures were magical creatures. Even though they could evolve and gain some intelligence, such low-level intelligence was laughably childish compared to the advanced intelligence that humans had honed through thousands of trials and tribulations.
The Swamp Crocodile King's gigantic body was over two meters tall even when it was crawling on the ground. No matter how dense the weeds were, they could barely cover its limbs and abdomen. The Swamp Crocodile King's gigantic body was over two meters tall even when it was crawling on the ground. No matter how dense the weeds were, they barely covered its limbs and abdomen. Even under such circumstances, it still acted as if it couldn't see me, couldn't see me. Its intelligence was so high that it could make one want to cry!
What was more infuriating was that its heavy body weighed at least twenty to thirty tons, causing the ground to tremble slightly as it moved. Even so, it still maintained a sneaky posture, as if it did not know how earth-shattering the place it was going to be.
After successfully bypassing a series of obstacles, the Swamp Crocodile King finally found a suspicious figure behind the Ghost Tree.
It was a detestable human wearing an acolyte's robe. Beside "him" were two or three Demon-Hags who had lost the ability to move. They were constantly being tossed into the swamp in the distance by "him". Under "his" teasing, the quiet swamp area had turned into a bustling market. The swamp was filled with terrifying figures of giant crocodiles tearing and snatching food.
The Swamp Crocodile King glared angrily at the detestable acolyte. In order to not give him a chance to escape, it continued to approach him patiently.
One hundred meters …
Seventy meters …
Fifty meters …
Twenty meters …
Today was really a lucky day.
It was almost at the back of the detestable acolyte, but "he" did not notice anything strange behind him.
The Swamp Crocodile King praised itself in satisfaction as it crouched down and began to prepare for the next earth-shattering attack.
'Die, human! I'll get to taste what it's like to be an acolyte today! '
* Woo … *
