0713 The Return of the Worm Witch

Billis arrived at Shadow Isle a full month and a half later than his companions.

As the ship hit the reef near the coastline with a bang, a large hole was opened on the starboard side of the bow, and there was a harsh noise from the bottom of the ship rubbing against the sand and gravel on the seabed. Slightly fishy seawater swirled in from the breach, and the hull gradually began to tilt. A large number of broken wooden boards, wine barrels and other debris were scattered on the nearby sea surface.

Billis turned into a puff of black smoke, flew up from the deck of the ship, spanned nearly a hundred meters of sea surface, and landed heavily on the beach on the shore.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, the beach in front of him silently swelled up. Dozens of muscular sand giants with blurred faces surrounded them from all directions.

"Report your name, intruder!" A cold question came from overhead.

Billis raised his head slightly, and through the shadow of the drooping black hood, two big, two small, and four green pupils stared fixedly at the strange witch who was riding a broomstick and floating 20 meters above her head. body.

Perhaps sensing the familiar fluctuations in witch power from the intruder, the pale witch on duty did not drive the puppet witch to continue attacking.

"Billis, the wizard of the Scarlet family, came here with the witches of fate!"

I haven't seen him for a few months, but the evil and cruel aura on Billis, the worm witch, has become stronger and stronger, and his body covered by the black robe is even more bloated than before. Where the pale witch couldn't see, the black cloth robe was still squirming quietly, as if the body wrapped inside was not a normal human body at all.

"Bliss?" The witch floating in the sky took out one side to inspect the crystal, and scanned Billis from the air, and the breath she ingested matched the breath stored in the crystal.

"Okay, your identity has been confirmed, you can enter the island! But..." The witch had just announced the inspection results, when the words suddenly changed: "The sea ship you are on is in the Shadow Island witch The one registered in the tower is protected by our pale witch. Now, why can't I feel any life on board?"

Not far from the beach, the stranded ship tilted to one side.

No crew members jumped into the sea to escape, no humans shouted for help, except for the muffled sound of waves hitting the hull, everything was lonely and terrifying!

"As you know, the boat sailed for a little longer! I...I can't control my...little babies..." Billis shrugged helplessly, and there was a snap, a mass of black matter It fell out of his black robe, landed on the beach, quickly disintegrated into hundreds of black insects, and then burrowed back under the robe.

"Your reason is not accepted, foreign wizard!" The pale witch's face showed a trace of dissatisfaction: "You openly attacked the native organization protected by our pale witch, and you must be punished as you should. One hundred magic crystals , we will deduct one hundred magic crystals from your plane income as a punishment!"

"One hundred magic crystals? That's just thirty-seven mortal natives, and they're not so-called fighters. How could it be so expensive? It's unfriendly for you to treat friendly troops like this..." Hearing the punishment suddenly, the worm witch Billis Immediately muttered in dissatisfaction.

"Wizard, if you refuse to accept the punishment, I will have to expel you from the Shadow Isles on behalf of the Pale Witch! You choose, accept or refuse!" The pale witch on duty still insisted.

"Okay, okay...I accept! You guys who stay behind treat the friendly troops fighting in the front like this, I will protest to the high-ranking witches in your family..." The form is stronger than people, although full of dissatisfaction, than Lis still had no choice but to accept the punishment.

"Follow it! It will lead you into the inner island. Besides, your companions have returned to the Shadow Isle, and you will find them on the fifteenth floor of the Wu Tower on the inner island..." The witch on duty turned around after finishing speaking. Fly away on a broomstick.

The sand giants surrounding Billis also collapsed into a sea of ​​sand, and only one sand giant remained, leading Billis to the depths of the island.

Leaving the beach area, and not long after advancing, the sand giant immediately collapsed, and handed over the leading job to a shadow mastiff hiding in the shadows. After passing through a small swamp, the new lead job was handed over to the Chaos Lasher.

This is a strange species of magic plant that resembles a piranha. A human face protrudes from the sunflower-like flower disc. Two rattan-like soft tentacles stretch out from the middle of the two-meter-high stalk, which are full of terrifying hooks. Spikes and sticky green sap.

The roots and tentacles under it split into two strands, just like human legs, moving on the ground in a strange posture.

This kind of magic plant is a witchcraft creation that most wizards like to plant near their residences to serve as sentries and guards. Not only does it have a long life span, but it can also prey on its own, without the wizards taking care of it every day.

Along the way, Billis has seen many typical witch beasts and magic plants in the wizard's handbook.

Led by them, he passed through layers of peripheral areas, and finally entered the inner island smoothly after receiving a strange crystal similar to an identity plate.

In a residence on the fifteenth floor of the Wu Tower, Billis met his patriarch, the great master who abandoned him on the Jialan Continent, the second-level fire witch Greem.

Greem was obviously also very happy about the smooth return of the worm witch Billis. After the routine welcome, Greem threw a knowledge crystal into Billis' arms.

"Everything you have done in Jialan Continent is very good! As a reward for your bravery, this knowledge crystal is yours. This is only my personal reward! As for the share you deserve as a family wizard, you can Go to Xuefu to withdraw it. Alright, if you have nothing else to do, you can relax on Shadow Island, I still have a witchcraft experiment that needs to be completed immediately..."

After almost finishing the welcoming ceremony in a race against time, Greem turned into a scattered flame and disappeared into the room with a whoosh.

In the world of wizards, even within the same wizard family, there is no such intimacy and warmth as mortals. Everything speaks for itself!

It is precisely because the Crimson Family can give them the benefits and knowledge they deserve, and can guide them to grow rapidly, so those ambitious wizards are willing to attach themselves to Greem. As Greem's student, Meryl may have some personal feelings for the Crimson family, but the wizards of the other families are still attracted by interests and knowledge.

That's why the dialogue and communication between wizards are so cold and direct!

Knowledge crystal?

The complicated pupils of the insect witch Billis flickered with doubts, he weighed it casually, and threw the crystal of knowledge into the lotus petal-shaped mouth of the insect, and then slid it into the belly along the thick neck. .

Hey, it turned out to be the poisonous witchcraft and the corresponding witchcraft knowledge sorted out by the poisonous woman Endo...

I have bought these things from her many times, and she didn't spit them out easily. Why did she hand them over so generously this time?

However, this trace of doubt was quickly left behind.

With this part of highly poisonous witchcraft, there is a new direction for the refining and killing of the swarm. In the future, the huge swarm of insects that I drive should probably be called natural disaster beetles...

While daydreaming endlessly, Billis quickly walked out of Greem's residence.

With this knowledge crystal worth tens of thousands of magic crystals, the small complaints about being abandoned before disappeared in an instant, and the rest of my thoughts were all focused on how to collect some necessary highly toxic resources and find suitable ritual items. .

The residence of the Ice Maiden Xuefu is on the seventh floor of the Wu Tower.

After finding her and talking with her, Billis learned about some things that had happened in the family during this period.

The floating giant ship was destroyed...the poisonous woman Endo died in battle...Alice successfully advanced to the second level...

All these incidents, one by one, made Billis tremble with fear.

For no reason, if he felt that it was not so unacceptable for him to fight guerrillas alone in the encirclement of the enemy. Thinking of the horror of the 4th-level powerhouse, even though they are already in the absolutely safe Shadow Island, the two 1st-level wizards and wizards are still full of trembling and fear.

From Ice Maiden Xuefu, Billis successfully received his share of family rewards.

A knowledge crystal, which stores part of the alien knowledge that the family seized from the forest elves...

The basic material reward of 20,000 magic crystals...

Fifteen elf slaves (level 1 fighters)...

Three pieces of magic equipment (Level 1)...

A thousand-year-old tree with a heart...

...

...

There were as many as a dozen odd and small rewards, but what Billis valued the most was actually the top five. The current him, after the crazy and bloody slaughter and evolution in the Faen plane, his individual strength has obviously improved to the peak state of the first order.

Returning to the wizarding world this time, perhaps in three to five years, he should also consider advancing to the second level!

Some small rewards, Billis received directly from Xuefu, but rewards such as elf slaves, magic equipment, and thousand-year tree hearts still need to be withdrawn from Wuta public depository.

So after saying goodbye to Xue Fu, Billis could only run to the third floor of the Wu Tower in a desperate manner.

Seriously speaking, it is actually a slave and equipment market opened up by the Wu Tower to guard and gather witches' personal or family trophies.

Compared with the coldness of other floors, the bustle and bustle here is simply beyond Billis' imagination.

Bustling crowds, all kinds of costumes and races, a wide range of exotic products, and dazzling signs and shops...

Billis, who was dressed in a black cloth robe, stood stiffly at the entrance of the floor, his green pupils quickly scanned everything in front of him, and he didn't know where to go for a while.
