Jungle!
There was a jungle underground!
The moment he saw the lush forest, Grim's expression turned sluggish.
He first cast a spell to confirm that everything in front of him was not an illusion, but a real underground space.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the vast and lush forest, Grim smelled a strange and twisted scent. He was standing on a demarcation line. Behind him was a dark, heavy, and hard rock layer with a metallic luster. Beyond the demarcation line was ankle-deep green grass, tall trees, and dense vines, rose branches, shrubs, and berries that tightly blocked the road.
Through the greenery, Grim could vaguely see the figures of some small animals running quickly in the forest. In the depths of the forest, the leaves swayed, apes cried, and tigers roared. It was an abnormally flourishing forest.
But behind this flourishing forest was a strange energy aura that made Grim's heart palpitate.
It only took Grim three seconds to confirm that this was the ruins of the Blissful City that Kabi had described. The source of all this was a large amount of magic energy that leaked out after the Magus Tower was damaged.
Every Magus Tower would have an elemental pool as an energy source for magic facilities. But when the Magus Tower was destroyed, the energy would leak out and cause irreversible pollution to the surrounding environment. It was obvious that the strange energy in this area was so dense that it could produce such a huge mutated forest.
Yes, this was a mutated forest, not the primitive ones that could be seen everywhere on the surface.
Any plant or creature that was infected by such a dense energy aura would grow and mutate rapidly, going against the laws of life and turning into a special species that was completely different from before. That was why the forest in front of him looked normal, but it was all just a disguise.
This was already a paradise for magic creatures!
Grim took off the thick and stuffy traveler's cloak and wiped the sweat off his face. He took out a water bag to replenish himself, then slowly and carefully walked into the forest on the back of the magic crocodile.
From the moment he stepped into the forest, everything around him was no longer trustworthy.
This seemingly beautiful and green enchanted forest was actually much scarier and more dangerous than the dark underground tunnel just now. As for what kind of monsters were waiting for him inside, he didn't know. But since he was already here, no matter what was inside, he had to try!
It had to be said that with the support of the three quasi-Magus-level Rock Python Devil Puppets, Grimm had become much bolder.
It was undoubtedly very difficult to walk in a forest that had not been colonized.
Wild grass and flowers, shrubs and bushes, wild rose vines, and branches of trees stretched out horizontally … These things spread without any pattern and twisted together, almost filling all the gaps in front of the tall ancient tree. Without the Demon Crocodile, Grim would not have been able to move an inch.
But now, with the huge body and powerful physical strength of the Demon Crocodile, Grim felt like he had joined a demolition team. He crushed everything in his way and squeezed out a flat road from the impenetrable forest.
The wild grass and bushes were crushed into powder by the Demon Crocodile's huge claws. The tall ancient trees that stood in the way of the Demon Crocodile were all crushed and broken. For a moment, the ancient trees were broken, the vines snapped, and the sky was filled with colorful leaves.
However, behind these ordinary scenes, there were also countless strange scenes that were extremely strange and unusual.
Every time the Demon Crocodile's huge claws crushed a patch of green, there would be countless strange sounds coming from under its claws. It sounded like the cry of a baby, but also like the scream of a strange monster. It was so soft that people almost couldn't hear it.
When the Demon Crocodile lifted its claws, Grim saw a dozen green sprouts in a pit the size of a millstone. The other wild grass and flowers had all been crushed into a pool of green juice. Only these sprouts survived in the entire space. Not only did they survive, but they also curled up like living creatures, forming rows of saw-like teeth. They tightly wrapped around the Demon Crocodile's claws and madly bit at them.
Under their crazy attacks, mud and dirt kept falling, and the Demon Crocodile's claws were slightly damaged.
In front of the Demon Crocodile, some tall ancient trees pulled out their roots with difficulty and slowly escaped from the Demon Crocodile's path. But there were always some strange plants that were not afraid of death and continued to attack the Demon Crocodile.
They looked like sunflowers, but the bright yellow petals at the top of the thin stalk had a woman's face in them. Their attack method was very simple. From the mouth of the woman's face, they kept spitting out sticky and stinky venom.
Many of the vines hanging in the forest began to twist madly. At the end of the vines, a terrifying mouth opened up, and the edges were filled with terrifying sharp teeth. If a creature passed by them, they would probably only need to pounce and bite off the creature's head.
Grim's young face showed a look of disgust.
The forest was like a giant beast in disguise. When the Demon Crocodile entered, it immediately triggered all the hidden dangers. If one did not have enough strength and entered this place by mistake, they would probably not even have a corpse left.
Imagine, if there was no Demon Crocodile, perhaps the mutated sprouts hidden in the ordinary green grass would use their leaves to cut the creature's feet, burrow into the creature's body, and enjoy a warm and delicious meal. Those ancient trees that could walk on their own were probably the legendary Tree Demons. Once they were entangled by their roots, ordinary creatures would only end up with their flesh and blood completely devoured.
As for the terrifying plants and the disguised Flying Serpents, they were just parasites of the Tree Demons. Although they were not worth mentioning, they had the advantage in numbers. If one were to be entangled by them, it would be extremely troublesome.
Grim raised his head slightly and pointed his finger. A long vine that was hanging down from a tall ancient tree and was about to reach him suddenly burst into flames. In the blazing flames, the vine twisted and struggled violently. The terrifying leaves opened up and let out strange hisses that made people frown.
Unfortunately, no matter how crazily it struggled, it could not escape the fate of death. The blazing flames quickly engulfed its body, turning it into ashes that scattered down.
Perhaps sensing that the intruder was difficult to deal with, whispers could be heard from the depths of the forest. Countless strange plants began to try their best to escape from the Demon Crocodile's position.
After effectively intimidating these arrogant magical plants, the Demon Crocodile continued to move forward into the depths of the forest.
After they walked for a distance, Grim turned around and saw that the path they came from was once again blocked by the strange plants that had moved here. It seemed that these magical plants were not willing to let their food slip away and still wanted to devour Grim's flesh.
The next wave of attacks came from the monsters living in the magical forest.
Most of the monsters in the natural world were forest beasts. When they absorbed the floating elemental energy in the air, they could evolve into terrifying magical beasts that had the ability to use elemental energy. However, monsters were different from magical beasts. They did not evolve naturally, but were more like monsters that were mutated and polluted by the world.
Their species were complicated and their abilities were unimaginable. Until now, there had not been a single wizard who dared to pat his chest and say that he had understood all the types of monsters. It could be said that in every primitive forest, there was a possibility of discovering some new monsters.
They were often more terrifying and strange than magical beasts!
The first wave of monsters that rushed out of the depths of the forest was a group of mutated coyotes.
They had strange dark red calf-like bodies. Most of the hair on their bodies had fallen off, revealing countless hidden abscesses and dark spots. What was even more strange was that they were all two-headed wolves. They had terrifying wolf heads, huge white fangs, green saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, and a strange fluorescent light lingering in the depths of their mouths …
Their movements were strong and vigorous, and their strong bodies were comparable to lions and tigers in the forest. When they rushed out of the forest in groups, chilling wolf howls resounded through the sky.
* Puff puff puff … *
A series of translucent wind blades and snake-shaped lightning covered the demon crocodiles' huge bodies in an instant.
Some of these two-headed wolves flew around the periphery, continuously attacking the demon crocodiles with spells. Others howled and rushed to the side of the demon crocodiles, using their sharp claws that were half an inch long and terrifying fangs to attack the mud armor of the demon crocodiles.
Grim's face turned pale.
In just one round of attacks, the demon crocodiles' mud armor had been largely destroyed. If not for the protection of the native hunters, Grim would have been directly attacked by the enemies.
These two-headed wolves were not very strong, at most having the strength of a mid-level Apprentice. However, when hundreds of giant wolves converged into a moving army, even a high-level Apprentice like the demon crocodile hunter could not hold them off!
Grim gritted his teeth and lightly tossed out an elemental crystal core.
When it landed on the ground, a rock python that was even more terrifying than the demon crocodiles quickly crawled out of the ground.
The rock python's thick body was completely made of rock, and its internal cavity was more than two meters in diameter. Such a huge creature nimbly rushed into the wolf pack, instantly setting off a wave of blood in the forest.
