Chapter 2422 Walking Against the Wind
Joan performed "advanced internal vision" to check the health status of the hound, and found that Karl had been parasitized by some kind of supernatural fungus, no wonder the behavior was abnormal.
At this time, Audrey and Hyrule also rushed over. After hearing Joann tell about Carl's symptoms, Audrey walked up to the hound, stretched out her hand and pressed its forehead, intending to use magic to eliminate the fungus parasitic on it.
As if aware of the crisis, Carl's back squirmed violently, and a fluffy green moss-like substance emerged from under the hound's fur, and quickly spread towards Audrey's palm.
Joan had already held the "Branch of El Minsur" in his hand, and noticed that the green fungus was trying to transfer from the hound host to Audrey, and without thinking about it, it stimulated positive energy, and a round of silver halo illuminated it.
Evil supernatural fungus irradiated with positive energy flakes off Cal's back and quickly loses its vitality.
Audrey smiled gratefully at Joan, and continued to treat Karl, completely eliminating the remaining fungal spores in his body.
Three people, one bird, took the hound back to their sanity, and returned to Angor and Ryan.
A few minutes later, Angel successfully changed the weather with the help of the "Weather Staff", creating a heavy rain and extinguishing the wildfires spreading on the battlefield.
When the rain was over and the sky cleared, the sky was already dark, and the "Oz Fairy" and "Giant of the Wilderness" that Joan was looking forward to had not yet shown up, which somewhat disappointed him.
After running around for a whole day and fighting hard, Audrey, Hailaer, Angel, and Ryan couldn't hide the exhaustion on their faces. They were discussing about finding a place to camp. The whining sound of the horn immediately aroused everyone's vigilance, and they turned their heads to look at the place where the sound of the horn came from.
Since Joan entered the "Wonderland of Oz", this was the first time he heard the horn blown by the "Original Magic Flower". Compared with the detection results of "Branch of Irminsur", it can be concluded that the sound of the horn The source is only about one mile away from where I am at the moment.
"It's this deceptive trumpet sound again. It sounds quite close to us. Do you want to go and have a look?"
If Hailar hadn't taken the mythical potion in advance, and also wore the topaz amulet with a constant "secondary spiritual barrier", this eager look would have been hypnotized by the horn sound from the magic flower.
Audrey, Dory, Angel, and Ryan are also not affected by the hypnotic horn, and are carefully considering whether to follow the horn to continue tracking, destroy the original magic flower in one go, and save those victims who lost their humanity after being swallowed by the magic flower come out.
Joan noticed that Karl seemed to be in a trance, and seemed to be resisting the hypnotic magic contained in the sound of the horn, so he walked over and stroked the hound's forehead, and blessed the "secondary spiritual barrier" to help Karl resist the hypnotic horn.
"We all feel that it is necessary to track down the source of the horn. What do you think?" After discussing with her companions, Audrey cast a consulting look at Joan.
"I have no objection to tracking, but the horn sound from the magic flower is probably a bait. In this short journey of more than one mile, there are many traps waiting for us, so we can't step on them foolishly."
"Then should we bless the 'invisibility technique' and fly through the air? If we are careful, we should be able to avoid alarming the ray." Angel suggested.
Joan thought for a while, and said to Angel: "Ye ray has the ability of blind sight, and can detect humanoid creatures flying in the air according to the change of airflow. Invisibility can't fool them. I have a safer way."
After making a series of spell-casting gestures, Joan first cast the "advanced communication technique" to establish a telepathic communication network with his companions to ensure instant communication no matter where he is, and then cast "walking against the wind" to bring Audrey, Hylar, Dolly, Angel, Ryan, and Karl all turned into translucent steam forms.
Joan himself didn't need to turn into a vapor state. He used the "Styx Robe" to transform into an incorporeal ghost, leading everyone to float quietly in the forest.
Neither the gas nor the virtual body has a fixed geometric shape, and it is not blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, and it can shuttle through the dense forest like flying. Sure enough, on the way, I encountered a large group of supernatural plants lurking in the dark, including man-eating plants, viper vines, datura grass, and many strange plants that have never been seen before, which together form a tight line of defense.
These supernatural plants have a common weakness. They do not have "eyes" in the biological sense. They rely on sensitive branches and leaves to act as ears to detect the surrounding wind and grass, and cannot sense gaseous and incorporeal creatures. Floating by myself, I thought they were just ordinary mist, and didn't respond in any way.
Everyone passed through the dense forest without any risk, and Grizzly Town was in front of them. The original magic flower that issued a hypnotic horn was now rooted in the streets in the center of the town.
Joan shares vision with his companions, so that everyone can observe the surrounding scene normally while maintaining the gaseous state.
A crescent crescent hangs in the clear night sky. Illuminated by the light of stars and moons, everyone can clearly see a huge plant with a height of one hundred feet standing on the street of the town. It supports huge fiery red flowers on the top. The diameter is no less than twenty feet long. . The hole in the center of the stamen is like a wide tunnel, and the surrounding filaments sway in the moonlight, like countless flexible tentacles.
The main trunk of the "primordial magic flower" also branched out into many thinner branches, and slender vines extended from the ends of the branches, all wriggling like pythons.
Joan compared the detection results of the "Branch of Irmin Sur" and confirmed that the tall trees growing around the church in the small town were not supernatural plants. Art", reconnaissance "primitive magic flower".

I don't know who was unlucky, the moment of casting a spell to investigate caused the "primordial magic flower" to be alert, and the flower turned around towards the church, as if looking down.
"This monster doesn't have eyes, so it shouldn't be able to see us?"
Angel's self-consolation was quickly shattered by reality. Through some means, the Primordial Demon Flower actually sensed the peeping person hiding in the woods thousands of feet away, and shook twelve vines with countless funnel-shaped leaves, making a strange sound. Screeching horns.
Behind the magic flower, the door of the tavern covered with vines suddenly opened, and a group of "sons of the magic flower" in military uniforms with green skin rushed out, as if they had established some kind of relationship with the "primitive magic flower". The mysterious spiritual link, each holding a weapon, went straight to the woods where Joan and the others were hiding and approached.
