The omnipresent magical power had its own characteristics.
In different regions, the magical power would take on completely different forms.
Grimm didn't know how it would be in other regions, but in this region, the magical power was gentle and tame.
But no matter how gentle and tame the magical power was, it was still extremely dangerous to ordinary people.
Grimm's Elemental Vision could clearly see that there were still many dangers lurking in this beautiful and strange magical scene.
The terrifying piebald wolf spiders crouched among the colorful wildflowers, and if outsiders got too close, they would be attacked by them. The green toads were green and curled up in the same green grass, and anyone who stepped on them would definitely be sprayed with acid. The bamboo snakes wrapped their tails around the tall branches and hung their bodies motionlessly, pretending to be harmless vines …
It was difficult for ordinary people to see these dangers with the naked eye, and Grimm had to rely on the abnormal concentration of magical power to detect their existence. The reason why Lowi and the others were able to survive in such a dangerous magical forest was because of the experience and skills they had accumulated through countless lives.
Torches were lit one after another, and an indescribably strange smell wafted out from them.
To be honest, it was very strange.
When Lowi held a torch in one hand and waved a hatchet in the other, the hidden monsters moved their bodies and made way for them.
In an instant, countless bodies wriggled and curled up in the grass, shrubs, and branches.
Soon, a 'clean' path appeared in front of them.
"Insect repellent powder!" Gargamel bared his yellow teeth and shook a small pouch at Grimm's waist, which also emitted the same strange smell.
Grimm looked down at his waist. There was also a pouch there, which Lowi had specially asked him to wear outside his clothes. He didn't expect it to have the ability to repel small insects.
With them, the team could save a lot of unnecessary trouble!
The team finally began to move slowly in the Dark Forest.
The mediocre Grade 3 Thief, Rhode, was like a fish in water, and he seemed to be abnormally relaxed.
After a simple greeting to Lowi, he took the lead and disappeared into the dense and lush forest. It wasn't until the other party sent a hidden signal in the distant forest that Lowi strode forward with a torch and a hatchet in his hand.
Of course, the vines, bushes, and thorns along the way were all cut down by him to avoid affecting the two wizards and the apprentice's movements. But even so, in the dense forest where the roots were intertwined, every step forward was a painful ordeal.
They would either have their clothes caught in the thorns, or they would be whipped in the face by branches, or they would be tripped by thick roots protruding from the ground … For some spellcasters who lacked training, the primitive jungle was simply the best place to torture people.
However, Magi and acolytes were not weaklings!
His body, which had been nourished by magic medicines, was now in a far better condition than ordinary human beings. Summoning some wind elementals to wrap around their bodies, they could instantly become as agile as thieves. The protective force field that lingered around their bodies could even help them block some insidious and vicious attacks.
Insect repellent was not a panacea.
There would always be some strange creatures that could avoid their detection and sneak up to them before launching a surprise attack.
Archer Fehra put away her longbow and lightly held a dagger with both hands, using the sharp blade to cut the poisonous snakes and blood-sucking leeches that pounced on her in half in the air. Under her protection, the Level-4 Hunter Neil and a few acolytes were unharmed.
As for the two wizards, they did not need her help at all.
The Gargamel wizard, who looked like an old man, was simply the source of poison that was soaked in a poison pot. Any foreign creature that approached him would be poisoned to death in an instant and then festered into a puddle of acid.
Grim, who was walking at the back, was even stranger.
There was a faint layer of bright red light around his body. Any creature that entered this light layer would be instantly incinerated into ashes, leaving only a small amount of grey powder behind him.
Flame Barrier!
After seeing this layer of light, the acolytes silently called out this name in their hearts and cast envious gazes at him.
If they chose to learn Fire Element Sorcery, after going through rigorous learning of Sorcery Knowledge, it would take them at least three to five years to ten years to master this kind of Flame Boundary that could attack and defend. However, this required them to have an extremely high affinity for fire, otherwise, they would have to be mentally prepared to grind on a high-temperature barrier for the rest of their lives!
Sabrina turned around and glanced at Grim's relaxed performance. The sourness in her heart could almost drown her.
Not long ago, when they carried out the mission together in the Dark Crypt, Grim was just an ordinary acolyte who had just reached the intermediate level. Sabrina's remaining attention was mainly focused on Mary, who was even more eye-catching.
Who would have thought that in less than ten years, Mary had already become a terrifying wizard that was feared and feared by everyone? She, on the other hand, was still stuck at the level of a quasi-wizard, and even … was involved in a family conspiracy that could have crushed her to pieces.
The strange things that happened in this world made people sigh, and at the same time, they were filled with sorrow!
God … What kind of factor could have caused two people with vastly different statuses to have their fates, identities, and positions completely reversed? Could it be that I'm not persistent enough in my pursuit of witchcraft, or is fate playing a joke on me?
The boiling emotions made Sabrina's mind restless, and the injuries in her body started to hurt again.
Sabrina let out a bitter sigh. She took out a black water bottle from her waist pouch and took a sip of water.
What she drank was not water, but a sticky and pungent bioactive concoction!
Many of the human organs in her body had been replaced by strange mechanical creations. Now that she lacked a mechanical heart to fuse them with her original life system, the conflict between her flesh and mechanical spells was unavoidable.
Therefore, she had to drink this foul-smelling "engine oil" every day to ease the conflict that was about to erupt in her body.
This was also one of the pains that acolytes on the path of mechanical wizards had to endure!
Finally, after trekking with difficulty for four hours, the small team stopped at the foot of a low cliff 30 kilometers deep into the Dark Forest and began to prepare for the night's camping.
Although there were still two hours before nightfall, it was not easy to find such a remote area that was sheltered from the wind. Therefore, in order to avoid being unable to find a temporary lodging, Lowi asked Grimm for permission and set up camp in advance.
After all, it was the first day the team set off. Before everyone familiarized themselves with each other, they had to save some strength to deal with the frequent changes in the Dark Forest.
It had to be said that the rich species and terrifying magical creatures in the Dark Forest were an eye-opener for Grimm, who had entered it for the first time!
Whether it was the bouncing little white rabbits or the sharp-toothed guinea pigs, they were all small animals that hunters loved the most outside the Dark Forest. But here, they seemed to have been cast by a berserk spell. They crazily crawled out of some hole and attacked the team without any hesitation.
Grimm had seen with his own eyes that every time the tame and cute little white rabbits pounced on Lowi, they would leave clear claw marks on the surface of Lowi's metal round shield. The big-eared guinea pigs' sharp teeth could even make Lowi's longsword crunch.
Grimm could clearly see that their eyes were blood-red, and their minds were wild and chaotic. Chaotic magical energy was boiling in their bodies.
Every now and then, some of the smaller animals could release strange attacks like wind blades, fireballs, and earth spears. It could be seen that if they were given some time, they might be able to grow into magical creatures with magic power.
However, most of them would probably self-destruct due to the disorder of their magical energy!
It could be seen from their bodies that the dense magic power that pervaded the Black Forest had an all-encompassing and pervasive effect on them!
The entire Dark Forest was like a huge witchcraft laboratory. Creatures that refused to accept the magical energy's modification would only die. Only the magical creatures that could withstand the infusion of magical energy and survive would have the right to live a better life here.
At this point, Grimm's' Species Studies' and 'Magical Creatures Illustrated Handbook' in his Chip needed to be updated and corrected. In the vast Dark Forest, strange monsters that the Magi had never seen before would be born almost every moment. They would also return to the Dark Forest after fighting and killing day and night.
Through this endless cycle, the mutated and unstable elements were all digested and absorbed. Only the stable and powerful mutants could survive and become the new species of the Dark Forest.
The cause of all this was the huge Dark Forest that no one could see through!
While the others were busy gathering firewood, setting up tents, searching for water, and hunting, Gargamel pulled Grimm to the top of the cliff. He took out a magic tool that looked like a compass and began to measure it.
"Is the forest demon you mentioned really nearby? This place is very close to the edge of the Dark Forest. If it really has intelligence, it shouldn't have chosen a place like this as its territory! "Grimm asked doubtfully.
Forest demon.
What kind of intelligent forest demon was this?
Just as Grimm's doubts rose, the information stored in the A.I. Chip flowed into his mind.
Forest demon, a natural type magical creature with intelligence. It was a type of magical plant formed after the soul of a dead magical creature fused with a natural tree spirit. Its life form was similar to the Flower Spirit Grimm had seen in the Dark Crypt. However, one was a natural creation by chance, while the other was a witchcraft of an evil wizard.
