With the help of the crocodile hunter, Grimm was like a fish swimming in water as he quickly traveled three meters underground.
His mental strength penetrated the dense earth element mist and transmitted everything he sensed along the way back to Grimm's mind. The twisted roots of the ancient trees, the broken rocks, the wriggling underground insects and reptiles, the gophers and cockroaches curled up in their nests, the rotten branches of the dead trees, and the unknown broken fragments …
It was just a short journey, but Grim had vaguely caught a glimpse of another world that was completely different from what he knew in the past. In this hidden world, Grimm was like a cold emperor overlooking the world. He had no thoughts and no self. If he really wanted to, he could casually send out a thought, and the Demon Crocodile Hunter could turn this place upside down.
Although he wanted to experience the different perspective of traveling underground, he could not hold on for more than a quarter of an hour.
This time, it was not that his mental force was insufficient, but he was running out of breath.
As a wizard apprentice who had mastered extraordinary power, Grimm's body was much stronger than a normal person's in terms of resistance and endurance. A normal person would pass out after holding their breath for a minute, but Grimm only felt suffocated after a quarter of an hour.
Under his command, the earth element around the crocodile hunter vibrated and separated the thick layer of earth above its head, slowly burrowing out of the ground.
The sudden appearance of the Demon Crocodile Hunters shocked the surrounding monsters. Countless sharp infant cries rang out, and negative curses fell on them like raindrops.
"Damn it, it went into the baby monster's nest!" Grimm cursed in a low voice and urged the crocodile hunter to rush out of the baby monster's encirclement.
Although the baby monster's "curse" ability was strange and hard to defend against, they were only a group of low-level monsters after all. When faced with the crocodile hunter, their curse success rate was not high. Instead, the native hunter on the back of the crocodile hunter threw out a few spears and killed two baby monsters. The rest of them scattered and hid in the bushes, not daring to act rashly.
Perhaps only now did Grimm vaguely understand the mentality of Alice and the other two when they entered the magic swamp. Once they had the strength and capital of a high-grade Apprentice Apprentice, ordinary low-grade magical beasts were no longer a threat to them. Faced with a group of ants and maggots that could be easily destroyed, it was no wonder that they acted so fearlessly despite knowing that this was a forbidden area.
To be honest, if Wizard Anderson didn't make a move, the students and swamp monsters here would not be able to do anything to the 3 of them.
As for what happened to Alice, it was a complete accident.
It was precisely because Alice's abilities were too powerful and her strength was too terrifying that the demonic worm Endik had no choice but to fight her with his life on the line. Coupled with Grimm, who was not very strong but had sharp eyes, Alice had suffered one setback after another and almost lost her life in the Silt Swamp.
These hateful baby monsters were a group of terrifying monsters for Grim in the past. Once he fell into their encirclement, even with the protection of the Witchcraft Amulet, he would still end up in a miserable state. But now, with the help of the Demon Crocodile Hunter, Grimm could kill them as if they were dogs. He no longer felt fear and panic like before.
Unknowingly, Grimm's mentality began to change bit by bit.
Bullying the weak, the strong preying on the weak, being arrogant … These words sounded very harsh, but if he really wanted to be the stronger side, it would be quite satisfying.
Grimm controlled the Demon Crocodile Hunter to rush out of the Whispering Garden and arrived at a small gravel path. Only then did he jump off the Demon Puppet, dispelled the earth element, and put away the 2 summoning crystal cores. This place was already very close to the entrance of the swamp tower, and it was time for Grimm to return to his original low-key and weak appearance.
Grimm pulled his hood back to cover his face and sneaked back into the tower.
This experiment was very successful, and it had greatly boosted Grimm's confidence. But at the same time, it also revealed some problems, the most serious of which was how to move underground for a long period of time.
The Demon Crocodile Hunter might not need to breathe, but Grimm did! Under the protection of the earth element released by the Demon Crocodile Hunter, Grimm also had the ability to move underground. However, there was no air underground, and if he could not solve this breathing problem, he would not be able to move underground for a long period of time.
Therefore, after returning to the swamp tower, Grimm spent the next few days running back and forth between the apprentices, looking for ways to solve the two problems of night vision and underground breathing. Occasionally, he would sneak out of the tower and look for suitable magic creatures to make magic puppets in the magic swamp.
Unfortunately, even on the last day, he did not find any suitable magic creatures.
After all, the magic swamp was just an ordinary resource point for a wizard family. Most of the magic creatures here were ordinary magic creatures that were suitable for raising and harvesting. Therefore, it was almost impossible to harvest a large number of crystal cores here. Even Simba and the Giant Crocodile King that Grimm harvested were rare advanced magic creatures in the magic swamp in the past century. Otherwise, he would not even be able to obtain such a small harvest.
Although he did not obtain any new crystal cores, Grimm took the opportunity to collect some magic creature materials and potion materials. With these materials, Grimm also obtained some practical accessories from the apprentices.
Among them, the one that Grimm was most satisfied with was an exquisite noble headband.
When he put the headband on his head, the clear diamond at the front of the headband pressed against the center of Grimm's forehead. Apart from giving Grimm a gentle and scholarly temperament, it also gave him a slight increase in spiritual force by 1 point.
For high-ranked Acolytes, this headband no longer had the effect of stimulating and strengthening their spiritual force. However, for Grimm who only had 8 points in spiritual force, it gave him a significant increase.
The problem of night vision was also solved.
The solution was a gnomish engineering goggles!
According to the intermediate Acolyte who traded with Grimm, this should be the crystallization of a civilization from another plane. Wearing the goggles made from a combination of black leather and a transparent crystal, Grimm could clearly see everything around him in the dim light.
After Grimm took it back, he had the A.I. Chip scan it and analysed it. This strange thing should be a product of a mechanical civilization. He could not sense any elemental waves from it, and it was just like an ordinary object. The reason why it could see in the dim light was because of the underground crystal that had been polished with a special method.
As for the composition of the crystal, the A.I. Chip had also analysed it. It was not a product of the Sorcerer World, but a special product of this mechanical civilization.
As a large plane, the Sorcerer World had also captured and enslaved countless small and medium-sized planes. This gnomish engineering goggles might have come from a secondary plane that had been enslaved.
In the common knowledge of the Sorcerer World, only official Sorcerers had the right to travel between planes and conquer other planes. Those who were not official Sorcerers, even those with outstanding talent, did not have the right to participate in the conquest of other planes. Therefore, Grimm could only imagine the possible appearance of this mechanical civilization as he carefully put the goggles into his bag.
As for the problem of underground breathing, Grimm had also solved it using biological methods.
Among the apprentices of the Tower, there was also someone who was good at biological modification. He used Snake Vine Grass, Rootless Purple Leaf Flower, insect oil, toad feces, and other strange things to make a respiratory organ that looked like a leaf worm. When Grimm needed to go to a closed environment, he just needed to put this breathing organ in his mouth, and he would temporarily have the ability to breathe through his skin.
When he no longer needed to breathe, he just needed to spit it out, and the ability would disappear. Since this was only an auxiliary organ and not an organ replacement, there was no problem of bloodline contamination.
After solving these problems, Grimm could finally put his mind at ease. He no longer stepped out of his house, and spent his days either meditating or studying the magic books he had just collected.
On the fifth day of the compulsory mission, Grimm finally received a notification from the A.I. Chip that the optimization of Flame Arrow had been completed.
[Beep. Flame Arrow's spiritual force model has been optimized … Would you like to display the content of the optimization?]
"Yes!" Grimm replied impatiently.
Following the appearance of a long string of data, Grimm's mind projected the image of Flame Arrow, a long-range spell that had been optimized on a large scale.
If Flame Arrow had been a magic arrow before, it had now become a flaming spear. The tamed and stagnant flames condensed into the shape of a spear. With a single thought from Grimm, the spear could be shot out quickly, dealing both physical and fire damage to the enemy.
Flame Spear, a mid-level fire element offensive spell. Condenses flames into the shape of a spear to attack the enemy. Physical Damage: 11 points Fire Damage: 21 points Attack Range: 5-300 meters Cooldown Time: 8 seconds Wizard Power Cost: 24 points
With Grimm's 9.37 points of spiritual force after wearing the Noble Headband, he only had 94 points of wizard power. A mid-level offensive spell like the Flame Spear could only be used 4 times before his spiritual force was exhausted. Therefore, it was better to save such a method as a trump card at a critical moment.
After all, with the attack power of the Flame Spear, it would not be a problem for it to break through a mid-level acolyte's defensive spell. Even if he encountered a high-level acolyte with a defensive spell, the Flame Spear was still an offensive spell that could not be underestimated.
To be honest, it was only now that Grimm had a real body skill that he could use. With it, Grimm's next mission would be a little more secure.
