Grimm was forced to float to the surface after walking for a couple of hundred meters in the dark mud.
After all, the underground world was not as easy to travel as it was on the surface. Large areas of rock and sand made it extremely difficult for the crocodiles to travel. Once they were out of the danger zone, Grimm ordered the crocodile hunter to crawl out of a tunnel.
Closing his eyes, Grimm sensed that Mary, who was hiding in the crocodile's stomach, was breathing rapidly. Her body was boiling hot. Grimm could not help but shake his head and sigh.
Ancient bloodsucking mutants were indeed powerful. They could continuously improve themselves by sucking blood.
During the battle, Mary had sucked all the blood essence of the enemy's high-level acolyte. This allowed her to quickly replenish her blood energy reserves, and she began to transform her body again.
Due to the lack of necessary information, Grimm did not dare to disturb her natural evolution. He could only choose a relatively safe area and let the crocodile spit her out. She laid her flat on a piece of carpet. Grimm excitedly began to "loot" Anna's body.
Grimm put his palms together and closed his eyes, praying to all the gods he could think of. Then, he rubbed his hands excitedly and laid down on Anna's miserable body, touching it left and right.
As a high-level acolyte, it was impossible for her to not have any magic items or artifacts. No matter how poor she was, she would at least have magic books and notes. Even if she did not have these, magic crystals and magic materials would do!
Anna was not ugly when she was alive, and her body was voluptuous. Unfortunately, the battle at the end was too fierce, and most of her skin had been torn into countless bloody wounds. However, most of the clothes and equipment on her body were left behind.
The first thing Grimm plucked off was a bracelet on her right wrist.
Under the Elemental Sight's scan, the bracelet constantly emitted a dark green glow. It was obviously a special magic item. Grimm held it for a long time and finally determined that it was a magic bracelet that could quickly activate the Plant Thorn Armor.
Although Plant Element and Grimm's talent did not match, as long as the energy in the bracelet was not exhausted, Grimm could forcibly use it. Therefore, Grimm, who did not have any defensive spells, was overjoyed. He hugged the bracelet and kissed it, then put it on his wrist without saying anything.
The next thing to be pulled off was Anna's boots.
According to Grim's appraisal, it was a pair of magic leather boots made of Lantern Grass and Flower Demon Skin, which could activate the effect of Forest Walk. Wearing these leather boots, the situation of being blocked by bushes, vines, and thorns in the primeval forest would no longer appear. Even in a dense forest that was impassable, wearing this pair of leather boots would allow one to pass through it like walking on flat ground.
What a pity … What a pity that it's a woman's style!
Grim gestured a few times, but he was obviously not suitable. He could only put it aside and see if Mary would be interested in it in the future.
The third item found was a magic earring.
It was also a Plant Healing Spell. Wearing this earring, one could find a place with lush vegetation and stand still. It could recover about 10 points of life energy in 15 minutes. Although the conditions were a little harsh, it could be quite effective at special times.
After all, the haemostatic cream could only heal wounds, but it was difficult to recover lost life energy. Thus, if he wore this earring on his body, it might be able to save his life at a critical moment.
With Anna's status as a high-ranked acolyte, having three pieces of magic equipment was already not bad. Hence, Grimm quickly took off her belt and held it in his hands to appraise it.
It was an exquisite and gorgeous belt, with a series of strange runes engraved on the inside. Grimm only managed to identify 4 runes after a long time, and there were a total of 11 runes.
Left with no choice, Grimm could only borrow the A.I. Chip's power.
"A.I. Chip, scan these runes!"
[Beep. Scanning of Storage Belt completed … 11 ancient Magus runes discovered, determined to be the activation incantation for the storage belt … Contents of the incantation are …]
Following the A.I. Chip's data, Grimm furrowed his brows and began to recite the 11 runes according to the pronunciation of the ancient Magi.
Just as the incantation was completed, Grimm's mind moved, and he suddenly felt the existence of a small space on the belt. Within the space, there were a dozen items that he could not identify.
A storage belt, it really was a storage belt!
Grimm had been drooling over such a treasure for a long time.
Although acolytes like him were most used to having a storage pouch, it was not a spatial item after all. Hence, it could not reduce the weight of items, nor could it isolate the special energy waves of magic items. On the other hand, a storage belt was the lowest grade of spatial items. Items placed in it would no longer be a burden to Grimm, and it would also be impossible for others to sense the magical energy waves within it.
Hence, he was overjoyed to be able to obtain a storage belt in the first battle in the underground world.
Grimm carefully glanced back. Seeing that Mary was still unconscious in a deep meditative state, he immediately put on the storage belt. Of course, he still covered his waist pouch and concealed the storage belt.
Wealth must not be revealed!
Even those quasi-Magi might not be able to get their hands on such a good item, so he decided to enjoy it first!
After looking around a few more times, Grimm made sure that this senior acolyte from the Fallen Sorcerer's camp did not have any magic items on her. Then, he focused his mind on the storage belt and searched through the items inside.
7 magic crystals, a sorcery notebook, a crying frog used for special spells, a contact crystal, an emerald green wooden stick the length of an arm, a magic mithril the size of a thumb, and a wooden statue used by a priest …
Together with the spoils from today, Grimm had 10 magic crystals in total. He could be considered to be quite wealthy.
The sorcery notebook contained Anna's experiences in learning plant-type spells. It also contained the knowledge of summoning spirits. These were all things that Grimm could not master. It seemed that he could only think of a way to exchange them after he returned.
The crying frog was a very common spell material, mainly used to set up support spell formations such as alarm spell formations.
The contact crystal was obviously an item that Anna had seized from a member of her team. Through sensing the personal imprint inside, Grimm could determine that the person who had met with misfortune was the senior acolyte called Matthew.
The emerald green wooden stick and magic mithril were relatively rare spell materials. The former was obviously a semi-finished product, which seemed to be a plant-type magic tool that Anna had made. The latter was a high-grade material used to make wands. It could greatly increase the energy conductivity of a wand and reduce the loss of energy.
With this amount of Mithril, Grim would be able to make himself a small one-handed wand with more than enough to spare.
As for the last wooden statue, it was a little hard to figure out. Grimm could clearly feel the presence of energy on it, but he could not find any runes or magic words. It seemed that if he wanted to find out its specific use, he would have to wait until he returned to the Magus Tower and find a professional appraiser.
While Grimm was holding the wooden statue in his hand, a soft and warm body suddenly pressed against his back.
"Hehe, little handsome boy! You're so nice to me, how do you want me to repay you? "A soft and seductive voice sounded in Grimm's ears. Then, Mary's hands went under his armpits and slowly rubbed against his chest.
* Ugh … *
This sudden alluring action caused Grimm's hair to stand on end, and his body instantly tensed up like a wooden statue.
"Do you want me to give you a kiss?" Mary's sweet voice lingered in his ears.
"I …"
Just as Grimm was about to explain, a fragrant tongue slipped into his mouth.
In an instant, it was as if a ball of lava had exploded in his mind. Grimm's mind trembled as he flew into the sky, and for a moment, he did not know where his body was.
Only after a long time did Grimm break free from his trance. At this moment, Mary was already sitting beside him, holding the pair of enchanted leather boots in her hands and inspecting them.
"A.I. Chip, what happened to me? Why was Mary able to have such a huge effect on me? "Grimm secretly asked.
[Beep. Detected remnants of a mental spell … The main body might have been bewitched by a mental spell. From the effects of the spell, it should be the natural charm of a mental spell …]
Natural charm?
Grimm's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Damn it, this was an extremely domineering Mental Wizard Spell!
It had to be known that most Mental Wizard Spells would have obvious Mental Ripples when they were cast. As long as one paid attention to this, it would be easy to defend against mental spell attacks. However, the domineering nature of a natural charm lay in the word 'natural'!
This sort of natural charm could not be learned, and would only be awakened in a limited number of special races. Once it was awakened, it would bring huge benefits to the person.
Any creature with a natural charm would not be attacked by neutral creatures when they entered dangerous areas, as long as they did not do anything harmful. Moreover, they could easily gain the trust and affection of other creatures!
If Mary really had a natural charm, then her every word and action would be even more enchanting and bewitching than before. It would also be harder to defend against her bewitchment.
Grimm could not help but suspect that this dead Anna had a special bloodline like a flower demon or a tree demon. Otherwise, how could she have passed on such a strange bloodline to Mary?
"You're awake? Little brother? "Mary was obviously pleased with herself," I didn't expect a kiss to bewitch you to this extent! Your spiritual will really needs to be tempered! "
Grimm looked at Mary in distress. He could feel that Mary was still unable to control her new ability, so her every word and action had a strong sense of temptation.
"We've already killed a fallen acolyte. Do you think we should continue to plunder resources here or hurry back?" Grimm could only divert Mary's attention as much as he could.
"Let's go back!" Although Mary was a little too excited, she did not let it get to her head, "With such a big commotion here, the other teams will probably hurry back as soon as possible. Let's go back too! I don't want to be trapped underground by those black-robed Prospective Magi! "
"Alright!"
