1476 Encounter

Moss, algae, and the faint light released by the netherworld plants similar to reeds can make people roughly see the puddles scattered around. (Dingdian Novel)

As you go deeper, some small paths that seem to have been formed by long-term trampling can occasionally be seen and borrowed.

Although the Phantom Butterfly Jima is curious, or it can be said that he is careless to the point of being heartless, although he is young, he is quite courageous. After Raymond removed the isolation barrier and released it, it immediately pounced on the puddle not far away. After a moment, it returned to Raymond with its hands folded, showing him a water soul it had captured.

"Look, look! How strong this water soul is! It will definitely defeat other water souls and become the master of the barrier..."

The water soul is only half the size of a fist, and its body is almost transparent. Its slender tail curled up at its side, and its body is trembling slightly.

The perception could not detect its existence, but after getting close, the naked eye could still see a liquid-like substance slowly flowing in its body. However, this water soul, which had neither facial features nor limbs, looked like a slightly thicker piece of duckweed.

Jima, who held the water soul in both hands, had an undisguised excitement and excitement on his face, but Raymond could not see the difference between this water soul and the other water souls that gathered again in the puddle after observing for a while.

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

However, Jima took it for granted that he was observing and comparing, so after Raymond's gaze was retracted, he asked anxiously.

Raymond shook his head and raised his hand to touch it, but the frightened Jima suddenly retreated. He immediately closed his hands. "Don't touch it! Don't touch it! You'll die if you touch it!"

"Why?"

"It's the weakest water soul. Only our Phantom Butterfly can catch it without hurting it!"

Jima's cheeks swelled as he spoke, and his alert expression made Raymond speechless. It seems that the current status of this water soul is obviously higher than his, which makes him a little unhappy.

Seeing that Raymond did not continue to approach, Jima, who had no consciousness, raised his hands in front of his eyes and whispered carefully to the water soul in his palm. "I will protect you well, and I must hold on until I return to the village to feed you the seeds of Phantom..."

Raymond shook his head and decided not to dwell on it. After humming and signaling it to follow, he began to move forward slowly.

This wetland. Perhaps because of the mixed water energy, the range that Raymond's perception can detect is greatly reduced.

And low-level underworld creatures like water souls can only be seen with the help of the light green crystal given by the Siren tribe when he approaches.

And because of Jima's reminder before, he also knew that there were quite powerful evil spirits here, so it was better to slow down so that he could react in advance when something unexpected happened.

Evil spirits are notorious evil creatures in the underworld. They are definitely the backbone of the chaotic evil camp. Their strange and bizarre attacks and invisible and traceless existence are deeply feared by people.

Therefore, for Raymond, now that he has retracted his own breath and isolated himself from the external environment, this creature that may only survive by its instincts likes to attack him, especially when he is with a phantom butterfly, he is obviously on the weak side.

This feeling is naturally not good, but if Raymond does not want to attract the underworld creatures to swarm in, he can only admit and accept this reality.

And Jima, who has two pairs of colorful wings, naturally does not understand this truth. It just holds the water soul and follows Raymond, making Raymond a pathfinder and a meat shield.

The lower-level water spirits naturally dared not take any action against Raymond. But the dark plants with slightly stronger strength would cause trouble for him anytime and anywhere.

Like water grass, they are rooted in those puddles. They are a kind of extremely aggressive netherworld plant called pear capsule beads. If Raymond is not careful, he will be entangled by their tough vines that stick out from the water.

The purple blood orchids that grow in clusters beside the puddle will spit out a very sticky acidic poisonous mist when he approaches, making its isolation barrier instantly dyed brown.

And those water spirits lurking in the puddle will shoot out a burst of ink-colored mist, the powerful force contained in it can even shake the direction of Raymond's movement, causing him to be besieged by more water spirits.

Although what he encountered was just trouble, Raymond, who encountered dozens of attacks in just half a day, naturally became more and more angry.

It was just that due to the taboo of not being able to release his own breath, he had to release invisible fire from time to time to burn these annoying netherworld creatures into ashes.

The phantom butterfly Jima who followed behind him would chuckle at first when he was attacked, but as his face became darker and darker, Jima, who clasped his hands, dared not speak again.

But the smile on the corner of his lips never faded from beginning to end.

The invisible fire had a miraculous effect on low-level Netherworld creatures. After it was released, it would burn a large area of ​​Netherworld plants in front of it with Raymond's control. However, even though the mana consumption was extremely low, the frequent release still made Raymond a little tired.

Just when he noticed that the concentration of water energy in the environment began to increase, a cold wind that blew past his side caught his attention.

Along the way, there was no wind in the wetland, and after he noticed the cold wind, the plants in the netherworld within his field of vision did not move.

Raymond suddenly stopped immediately with a start in his heart, but in just such a moment, the wetland that was originally glimmering suddenly fell into absolute darkness.

The first thought that arose in his mind was that he had encountered a relatively powerful netherworld creature, so when he raised his right hand, the invisible fire released from his fingertips surrounded it in an umbrella shape and spread to the surroundings.

The invisible fire that should have been able to burn everything suddenly dimmed a few meters away from his side, and then it went out strangely, causing a gap in the invisible fire that spread outward in a ring.

Raymond turned around and faced the gap, his eyes glowed red, and his condensed and compressed perception began to explore the gap.

However, whether in his perception or through the light green crystal, everything was no different from before, and the invisible fire that should have been able to spread to a radius of 20 meters suddenly extinguished when it was about to reach a distance of 10 meters.

The phantom butterfly Jima, who should be behind him, could not be detected by Raymond at this moment, and the environment that had been slightly noisy before also fell into dead silence. Only his own heartbeat became clearer and clearer, and after a moment, it was like a giant drum being struck, making him feel that the blood in his body was boiling!

He quickly held his breath to slow down his heartbeat, but the slight coolness that gently slid across his neck still made Raymond remove his own breath shielding and release the pressure field!

Hehe, hehe, hehe...

The sound of strange laughter came from all directions, and the cold breeze became chaotic and rapid, as if it was around him, touching his skin and arms from time to time, and even slightly lifted his robe!

Raymond realized that the situation was not right, put his hands in front of him and began to wave them. After the complicated and strange runes were constructed one by one by him, they revolved around him in front of him as if they were materialized.

Three...

Five...

Ten...

When the twelve special runes were successfully constructed by him, these runes with physical existence around him finally showed new changes!

The faint sparks that burst out from these runes from time to time made a loud sound of popping, and Raymond's face was also illuminated by these faint lights... (To be continued...)
