110,000 Magic Crystals!
The Wizard's Pagoda had expended 110,000 Magical Crystals in a localized territory war.
And this was only possible after Grimm used the terrain and the sea of lava to destroy the mountains of wild beasts and magical creatures in the forest. Without this move, Grimm could only lead his men to defend the Wizard's Pagoda and endure the attacks of the beasts.
When the time came, he would definitely not be able to escape death!
Of the 120,000 Magic Crystals that Alice had asked someone to bring, 110,000 had been used up in this battle. There was probably not much left to repair the Wizard's Pagoda with the remaining 10,000. From this, it could be seen that Alice, the Witch of Destiny, had some tricks up her sleeves. The amount of support she provided was just right, no more, no less.
The situation in the Energy Room shocked Grimm. The activation of the defensive system and offensive Wizard Formation had caused the Elemental Pool that had accumulated some energy to dry up once again. However, the existence of the sea of lava had filled the Fire Elemental Pool at the bottom of the Wizard's Pagoda. Now, the magical energy supporting the Wizard's Pagoda had been changed to fire element energy.
A massive amount of fire element energy flowed within the Wizard's Pagoda, the volcanic rock on the outer walls emitting a hazy red glow from the heat. From afar, the entire Wizard's Pagoda looked like a burning tree of fire, rooted in the sea of lava. It was extremely eye-catching.
Just as Grimm was checking the gap in the Energy Room, the A.I. Chip connected to the core Wizard Formation and sent a detailed report of the damage to the Wizard's Pagoda to Grimm's mind.
"In the battle at the Lava Hall, our losses: 2 Chimeras. Enemy losses: 173,000 low-level forest creatures, 300 low-level Magical Creatures (apprentice level), 80 + mid-level Magical Creatures (Wizard level), 30 + high-level Magical Creatures, 2 Magical Creature Leaders … Among them, the Magical Creature Leader Tula and Magical Creature Leader Dana have escaped, while the Dark Tentacle Monster and Twin-legged Flying Dragon King are still trapped somewhere in the upper levels …
"During the battle at the Wizard's Pagoda, we lost 112,000 Magic Crystals, 31 parts of the pagoda damaged, 127 parts of the internal energy transmission system malfunctioning, 34 parts of the Runic Spell Formation damaged …
"Harvest: Two Monster Leaders, a Three-headed Devil Hound and a Berserk Giant Baboon (The Berserk Giant Baboon's body was severely damaged, and it will be very difficult for it to fully recover its combat power. It is recommended to transform it into a Wizard Beast) … Two high-level Monster Leaders, a Bird Spirit and a Snake Spirit. Among them, the Bird Demon is a beginner form of the Eagle Demon. It's a close-range agility-type magical creature. The Snake Demon is a mutated beast that was contaminated by witchcraft. It has some demonic bloodline and is a close-range high-attack magical creature … "
"We can send some of the fire spirits to salvage in the sea of lava. Corpses of monsters or items that can be preserved under the continuous burning of the earth's fire have high magic value …"
…
Looking at the rows and rows of data that the A.I. Chip had calculated, Grim could not help but feel a lingering fear.
If not for the Sea of Lava, it would have been impossible for the Wizard's Pagoda to defend against the attacks of such a large number of Beast Tide. Not to mention the monsters that were mixed in with the Beast Tide!
One could imagine if some family built a Magus Tower in the Dark Forest and sent their Magi to guard it. In that case, they would have to face the attacks of all the Magical Creatures and beasts within a seven to eight hundred mile radius. The price they would have to pay would be terrifying.
Once the Wizard's Pagoda was breached by the Beast Tide, the loss of resources and manpower would be unimaginable. Even if they managed to defend against the Beast Tide, it would be difficult to develop the area quickly. They would have to deal with the Magical Creatures that were unwilling to give up before they could turn it into a safe territory.
In any case, before the Dark Forest retreated, these areas would be fought over by Magi and Magical Creatures. There was a huge security risk. No Magi would dare move a large number of people into such a dangerous area. They could only slowly rely on Magi, apprentices and troops to clear out the nests of the Magical Creatures in the surrounding forests, killing them or forcing them to move further away.
In about ten years, a residential area suitable for human habitation would be developed!
Along the way, the slightest mistake by the leader could result in the destruction of the entire residential area. It could also cause the hard work of an entire family to go down the drain.
Hence, any family that wanted to develop a new territory had to be extremely cautious.
Not only did they have to consider the strength of their family, they also had to investigate the number and quality of the Magical Creatures around the new territory. In particular, they needed a powerful team of Magi that could deal with any sudden incidents that happened around the territory.
Based on this standard procedure, it had to be said that Grim had played a good hand!
The dangerous defense of the Wizard's Pagoda had not only repelled the attacks of the Magical Creatures, they had also killed a large number of forest creatures. This also meant that the number of wild creatures and Magical Creatures in the forest around the Wizard's Pagoda would decrease drastically.
The Wizard's Pagoda was hidden nearly two hundred meters underground and had the geographical advantage. Anyone who wanted to lay their hands on it would have to face a sea of lava. Hence, Grimm only had to guard the Wizard's Pagoda. He could attack or retreat as he pleased. Even if the surface of the ground was once again occupied by Magical Creatures, he would not have to worry about his own safety.
As for developing the Dark Forest on the surface of the ground, Grimm had never considered that, at least not in the short term.
He had worked so hard to build his Wizard's Pagoda here, not to help the Sarubo family expand their territory, but for his own future development. Based on the information he had gathered, Grimm knew that Elemental Transformation was a necessary process if he wanted to advance to level two.
If he wanted to train his mind and adapt it to his development path, he would need a good secluded environment. The Wizard's Pagoda in the Sick Forest was the most suitable place for him to train!
Just as Grimm was deep in thought, a message from Gargamel entered his mind.
Grimm was slightly taken aback. He turned around and went to the Binding Room on the third level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Walking into the Binding Room, Grimm squinted at the shivering figures in the air.
The flowing magical radiance on the walls illuminated everything in this space. In the dim luster, one could vaguely see fine veins emitting from the smooth surface of the stone walls, forming a grand and complicated runic spell formation.
This wasn't a commonly seen five-light or six-light spell formation. All kinds of complicated patterns and runes were intertwined and connected with each other, forming a ring-shaped spell formation. The complicated light dots on the spell formation tightly bound a few silhouettes, some tall and some short, in different silver light circles, making them unable to move.
"What do you think? Are these fellows willing to surrender? "Grimm asked.
"Yes, yes, yes …" The one who answered first was not Gargamel, but the three-headed Magic Hound Anguja, who was crawling in the ring of light with a fawning expression. "Sir, please heal me! If I don't heal you, my injuries are so severe, and even my mental energy has been damaged. I might even regress in level … "
Grimm looked at Gargamel. Gargamel nodded silently, finally believing Anguja's words.
Once the Control Runes were implanted, the other party would become one of them, and it would not be good for them to regress in level.
"Since that's the case, open up the mental space!" Grimm waved his hand in front of him, quickly forming a Soul Brand that contained the aura of his Wizard Spells. "As long as you listen to me obediently, I'll get Gargamel to heal you immediately …"
The Three-headed Devil Hound, Anguja, gritted its teeth and hissed in pain. A soul shadow emerged from the middle head of the three dog heads and bowed to Grim from afar.
Grimm was about to control the Control Runes to fly into the silver ring when a female voice suddenly rang out.
"Teacher, don't be fooled by it!" Meryl quickly walked in from outside the room. "Sister Alice told me that it's useless to control only one of the main heads of this three-headed Magic Hound. All three heads must be controlled at the same time. Otherwise, it can forcefully devour the main head to get rid of the Soul Brand! "
Grimm's gaze froze, and a faint red glow appeared in the depths of his black pupils.
"I forgot … I just forgot for a moment …" The three-headed Magic Hound Anguja was scared out of his wits. He could only clench his teeth and force out the soul shadows from the other two heads. "Master, I won't dare to do it again!"
Grimm opened his mouth and blew out a stream of scorching flames. The control rune shook violently and split into three. With a swoosh, the three runes entered the three soul shadows of Angujia.
The drastic change in the soul, coupled with Grimm's frightening heat, caused the three-headed Magic Hound Anguja to be in so much pain that he wanted to die. Its entire body crawled on the ground, and the hundreds of wounds and scars on its body ruptured at the same time. Purplish-black pus and blood covered its entire body, making it look terrible.
"Alright, we can start treating it now!"
Grimm closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. After confirming that the Control Runes that he had implanted had already entered the three-headed Magic Hound's soul, Grimm waved his hand and deactivated the binding spell formation, allowing Gargamel to carry out a simple treatment.
A simple superficial wound would not be able to take Anguja's life, but the terrifying fire poison that had entered its body had to be removed in time. Otherwise, it would really harm its spiritual origin.
"What about the two of you?" Grimm looked at the bird demon and snake demon.
These two unscrupulous demonic creatures naturally chose to surrender just like An Gujia.
Hence, after carefully implanting the Control Runes, the two of them were also released.
After dealing with these three weaklings, Grimm came to the last silver circle. Trapped inside was a large and sturdy Giant Berserk Baboon, whose mental state was rather dispirited.
"Are you willing to surrender?"
The moment Grimm's words left his mouth, the Giant Berserk Baboon opened its bloody mouth and punched the transparent silver circle of light. Apart from a dull thud, the silver circle of light did not even shake. Instead, a dazzling electric light suddenly lit up within the spell formation.
With a strange crackling sound, the Giant Berserk Baboon fell to the ground with sparks all over its body. Its sturdy and muscular body could not help but tremble slightly.
However, even though it did not have the strength to stand up, the Giant Berserk Baboon still lay on the ground, baring its fangs at Grimm in anger.
"Seems like it's a stubborn one!" Grimm shook his head in pity and turned to Meryl, "There's no need to slowly torture this guy. Just ask Wizard Cogan from the headquarter to come over and erase its intelligence to make it into a wizard beast!"
"Yes, Teacher!" Meryl nodded in response.
"You called me over just now and said that there was something else. What is it?" Grimm turned to Gargamel.
Gargamel, who had been rubbing his hands by the side, could not help but reveal a greedy look, "Master, these guys all have their own nests!"
"Oh … What do you mean?"
"Of course they have to go to their own nests. More importantly, they even knew the location of the lair of those guys who had escaped! Do you know, those guys all escaped alone … "Speaking up to here, Gargamel couldn't help but lick his lips, his eyes revealing an unconcealable glint of greed.
