The Black Forest in the afternoon was unusually hot and humid.
The tall and straight tree trunks propped up a huge canopy that looked like an umbrella.
The tall ancient trees were not far from each other. Their crowns, branches, and vines were all mixed together, forming a dense and deep sea of trees. A faint mist floated in the forest. Sunlight seeped through the gaps between the branches and leaves, forming a slanted pillar of light that decorated the forest like a dream.
There were no sounds of beasts or insects in the forest.
The soil at the base of a tall ancient tree suddenly rumbled, and a head-sized mound rose up. Countless black beetles surged out from it and gathered into a wriggling human shape.
This bugman made of countless beetles stood silently for a while, as if it was communicating with some of its subordinates in the distance. A moment later, the bugman raised its head and turned to look in the direction of the Abebe beemen's hive. Its heart was filled with doubts.
The Abebe beemen had actually given up on the outer hunting area and the inner living area. All of them had retreated back to their hive. This was obviously out of his expectations!
But after some thought, Bliss deduced the possible actions of the Abebe beemen from the knowledge crystal that Grimm had sent him.
The knowledge crystal that Grimm had sent him was quite rich in content. It almost covered the origin of the Abebe beemen, the structure of their race, the way they ruled, the way they operated their power, the basic data of their members, their fighting style, and the characteristics of their profession …
With this data, Bliss could basically beat up these low-grade monsters that were enough to drown his little bug army. Bliss could even set up all kinds of traps and wait for the beemen to come to him.
Bliss could still find the answers he needed from the knowledge crystal about the Abebe beemen's abnormal actions.
The blood locust wasps were probably the only thing that the Abebe beemen could rely on!
The blood locust wasps were terrifying creatures from another world. They had the power of a Magus and were one of the few Abebe beemen that could surpass the Magus rank.
For any Abebe beeman tribe to maintain the existence of a blood locust wasps, they had to sacrifice the lives of three to five beemen warriors every day. Therefore, unless the Bee Queen's tribe grew to more than a thousand members, she would not easily hatch such a terrifying creature that devoured both her enemies and herself.
Now, the Abbe beemen were going crazy from the torture of this annoying bugman, so they couldn't care less about these taboos. They were ready to quickly hatch a blood locust bee to deal with Blitz.
According to the knowledge crystal, the Blood Locust Swarm had a strong body that was not weaker than a beginner Anatomy Refinery Wizard. They flew extremely fast, and their terrifying guillotine mouthparts could eat raw steel.
Not to mention the fact that Blitz's newly hatched Scorpions were no match for it, even Blitz was in danger of being hunted down and killed.
Hmph, I can't afford to offend him, then I'll just hide!
Blitz was not a mindless wild monster that would eat to death if it stared at one. Anyway, the mission given to him by Master was to contain the Abebe Bee People. Now that he had basically accomplished that, there was no need for him to stay here and fight them to the death.
Return to the Wizard's Pagoda?
At the thought of the forest demon's aggressive appearance, Blitz's heart burned with a vicious killing intent. But that forest demon seemed to be the partner of another 'rat', and that 'rat' was Master's assistant. It looked like he could not easily deal with it.
Since I'm not going back to the Wizard's Pagoda, I'll find trouble with other magical creatures!
Master said that the Three-headed Magic Hound and the Medusa were his traps, and he could not easily deal with them. Then there were not many choices left.
Twin-legged Flying Dragons?
No, they could fly, and it would be difficult for them to hunt!
Giant Barbarian Elephants?
That would not work either. Their strength and physique were ridiculously strong. With the abilities of the young Scorpions, there was no way they could harm them.
No matter how he thought about it, it seemed like the Crimson Flame Tigers and Ogres were more suitable for him.
Blitz's abilities were improving rapidly, and he would probably become a high-level apprentice in another two or three meals. When that time came, the explosive increase in his mental energy would allow him to control more subordinates, and his battle power would also increase significantly.
Hmm, I'll choose the Ogres!
They had sufficient numbers, and they were lacking in Wizard Spells. They were perfect for watering his insect army.
After thinking about it, Blitz hesitated no longer. His entire body suddenly collapsed, turning back into countless tiny beetles that burrowed into the ground, then pounced toward the Ogre camp in the northeast.
Behind him, seven young Scorpions the size of washbasins also burrowed quickly into the ground.
On the ground, the seven mounds of soil quickly moved into the distance …
…
Flame Monarch.
An earth-shattering boom resounded.
The entire Wizard's Pagoda trembled slightly.
Due to a small mistake, the rune lines inscribed on the level 2 Elemental Essence Crystal were slightly off, and the Magical Energy became chaotic, resulting in a terrifying explosion.
This explosion had clearly exceeded the tolerance of the Alchemy Laboratory's Defensive Spell Formation. The terrifying shockwave spread out, even affecting the entire Wizard's Pagoda.
Grim opened the door to the laboratory, and he ran out, covered in a thick cloud of black smoke. Behind him, the entire laboratory was in a mess. Broken pieces of the Alchemy Workbench littered the ground, and the continuous explosions rang out.
Corgan, Gargamel, and Meryl rushed to the door after hearing the news.
"Are you alright …"
"Are you alright, Master …"
"Are you hurt, Teacher …"
Three people, three different greetings, but all they got in return was a series of violent coughs from Grimm.
Grimm's youthful face was pale, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. On his body, there were a few large holes in his black robe, and there were still some sparks burning.
From the looks of it, it was clear that his mind and body had been damaged by the explosion of the Elemental Essence Crystal Core. In that kind of environment, any defensive spell would not be able to withstand the continuous explosions caused by the Elemental Essence Crystal Core. Even the mind could easily be affected by the Elemental Shock.
"Cough … Too … Too bad …" Grimm coughed violently, feeling extremely vexed, "Just a little bit more and it would have been done … My mental power still couldn't keep up …"
"Grimm, don't be too anxious." Although Wizard Corgan was disappointed that a level 2 Elemental Essence Crystal Core was destroyed just like that, he still needed to comfort Grimm on the surface, "The mission given to you by the family is still very generous. Don't be in such a rush to try it. It's better to be more stable! "
Gargamel and Meryl couldn't interrupt in a situation like this, so they could only gather around Grimm and help him deal with the more obvious wounds on his body.
After resting for a while, Grimm's spirit was already a lot better.
"It's really a pity this time! Just a little bit more, but I was too anxious, and I still failed … "
"You don't have to be so anxious … You really don't have to be so anxious. From what I see, you need to be more stable … Also, I've finished modifying those wizard beasts you asked me to. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to take care of in the family, so I won't be staying here any longer … "Grimm had been staying in the lab for the past few days, so Corgan almost never saw him. Therefore, he took this opportunity to say goodbye.
Of course, Grimm was full of gratitude. He asked Gargamel to bring over the promised reward and personally handed it to Wizard Corgan.
Although they were wizards from the same family, they couldn't just do a mission like this for free. Therefore, the necessary reward was necessary.
After Gargamel personally sent Wizard Corgan off, the 3 of them once again gathered in the secret room on the 4th floor of the Wizard's Pagoda.
"Teacher, is your body really okay? Do you need to meditate and check yourself … "Meryl asked with concern.
Grimm's hunched back suddenly straightened, and his originally dispirited spirit suddenly became full again.
"Master, how did it go?" Gargamel was obviously also involved in this matter. He was nervously rubbing his hands and staring at Grimm with a pair of green bean eyes.
Meryl was confused by the actions of the 2, and her beautiful eyes could not help but look back and forth between them.
Grimm did not answer. Instead, he gently swiped his right hand across his waist and flipped it over. A dazzling, crystal-clear Magic Puppet Crystal Core appeared in front of them.
"It's done … It's done … It's really done …" Gargamel immediately danced with joy as he threw himself in front of Grim. He stared at the Demon Puppet Crystal Core with his rat-like eyes, his goatee trembling nonstop.
Unfortunately, when it came to shiny gems, women were ten times more sensitive and flexible than men.
Before Gargamel could even stretch out his trembling hands, the Magic Puppet Crystal Core had already fallen into Meryl's hands.
Meryl repeatedly played with the Magic Puppet Crystal Core as if she could not bear to part with it, "Is this the elite elemental Magic Puppet you were talking about? Shouldn't it have been destroyed? Why is it still here? Could it be … Could it be that you were acting? "
Grimm and Gargamel did not reply, but they both let out a sinister laugh.
"Teacher, even you have been led astray by the sinister Gargamel. This must have been Gargamel's idea … How evil … "Meryl rolled her eyes at Gargamel and continued to play with the precious gem.
Ugh …
Gargamel was choked by Meryl's words. He almost couldn't help but shout that this was all Grimm's idea, and he was only the one who handled it.
Unfortunately, his words were suppressed by Grimm's dignified glare. He could only take the blame for this in silence.
"To be honest, I did not expect to succeed on my first try, so I made some preparations. Fortunately, my luck was good and I managed to succeed. I also managed to deceive that Kou Gen a little. " Grimm sighed with emotion, "Oh right, only the two of you are allowed to know about this. The other members are not allowed to know …"
"Then what about Ava?" Gargamel rolled his eyes.
It could be seen that this Gargamel was obedient to the Forest Demon Ai Wa, like an obedient baby.
Grimm paused for a moment and could only change his words, "Only the three of you and Ava are allowed to know, no one else is allowed to know!"
