Chapter 171 008: Interception
"It's man-eating mud, no wonder..."
Man-eating mud is a magical life form that lives underground. It is commonly found in swamps and mixed in the mud of swamps. When a creature passes by, it will drag the creature into the swamp and slowly devour it.
Luo Xi took out a small bottle and collected some man-eating mud and put it in the bottle. This kind of thing has certain research value. Since he encountered wild ones when he was out, he might as well collect some and take it back to study slowly.
He continued to walk forward.
As he walked, his feet naturally released a stream of icy energy. Under the effect of this energy, a layer of icy ice appeared on the road surface under his feet, and those annoying swamps were also frozen by this icy energy.
This is a simplified application of the frost spell, which was created by Luo Xi after improving the frost spell. It can be regarded as Luo Xi's own spell.
It doesn't look good, but it has a wide range of uses. Freezing the swamp is nothing at all. Through it, Luo Xi can easily freeze the water surface and walk on the water surface without any external objects. It is very convenient to cross the sea and cross the river.
After walking around, Luo Xi found a relatively clean and solid open space in the swamp and sat down to meditate.
His mission was to stay here and snipe the black wizard apprentices fleeing in this direction.
The alliance's attack on the Dark Forest has begun, and the nearby Shadow Tower, as one of the largest wizard organizations in the Dark Forest, must be the main attack direction of the alliance.
This wizard organization is said to have hundreds of apprentices. At the beginning of the war, there will inevitably be some fish that slip through the net. Luo Xi's duty is to intercept them.
Apprentices are very valuable resources no matter where they are placed, even black wizard apprentices.
After these apprentices are selected, some with decent qualifications can be further trained. Those with poor qualifications but who have meditated on one or two runes or even mastered a few spells can also be arranged in some positions in the alliance to continue to shine and heat up, and they cannot be lost in vain.
Closing his eyes, Luo Xi quickly entered a meditative state.
Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Complete a meditation, time +6 days."
That morning, Luo Xi had just finished a round of meditation when Ni Lu suddenly jumped down from a dead tree.
"Brother Luo Xi, there is movement over there."
After entering meditation, Luo Xi gave Ni Lu an order to patrol the swamp. The swamp was not small and he could not sense such a wide area by himself.
"Are you finally here?"
Luo Xi stood up and asked, "How many people are there?"
Ni Lu said, "Three, two female apprentices and one male apprentice, all of whom are low-level apprentices."
Luo Xi nodded, "Okay, lead the way."
At the same time, in the south of the Black Swamp.
"Da Da Da."
A burst of anxious footsteps echoed in the swamp, and three apprentices, one man and two women, were passing through the swamp.
Calver took out his wand and waved it forward. With a "whoosh", a gust of wind blew forward. After the strong wind, a thin layer of wind elements could be clearly seen on some places on the ground.
He then turned to the two female apprentices behind him and said, "This is the reconnaissance spell I secretly learned when I cleaned the study of Master Morpheus last time. With it, we can easily pass through this man-eating swamp."
A female apprentice with golden curly hair next to him said with admiration, "Senior Culver, it's really great. Going out with you is the best choice we made today, don't you think? Odessa?"
A female apprentice with black hair next to him nodded and took Culver's arm, "I still need the help of Apprentice Culver for the rest of the journey."
Feeling the softness between the skin contact, Culver also became distracted.
In the Shadow Tower, he was not a magic genius who was in the limelight. He was in his twenties and was just a low-level apprentice. He had just meditated out the second basic will rune.
Such qualifications were very ordinary even in the Black Witch Domain. On weekdays, he would never enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by beautiful apprentices. Suddenly, Culver felt that this disaster was actually quite good.
Speaking of this, Calver really felt like his life was about to be taken away.
Just a few days ago, the wizards from the south actually attacked, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, since Calver came to the Dark Forest, the wizards from the south were bullied at will in his impression. The mentor even often led them to plunder the magic plantations in the border areas, and they could get a lot of money every time, and sometimes they could even kidnap a few apprentices.
No matter how excessive they were, the south never responded, just like cotton that could be kneaded by people. The mentor always said that they were just some weak sheep.
However, it was just such a group of sheep that suddenly launched an attack on them for the first time, and the momentum was so huge that there were more than hundreds of formal wizards besieging their Shadow Tower alone, including sages and even great sages.
Calver had never seen such a big scene. Under the siege of so many wizards, their invincible mentor was defeated one after another.
Calver had a bad premonition in advance, and sneaked out of the tower early through the secret passage he accidentally discovered when he was on a mission before, so as to avoid the bloody battle later.
Just before he left, the mentor who failed in the battle of the tower had issued a war order for the whole army to go out. If he was still in the tower now, he would have to pick up the wand and follow other apprentices to fight those white wizards. In that case, the possibility of survival would be very small.
Calver hadn't lived enough. As for the wizard tower, mentor, and other apprentices, what did their life and death have to do with him?
In his eyes, as long as the world was not destroyed, everything was fine. After all, he was a spellcaster. If this place was destroyed, couldn't he go to other places? If the wizard world couldn't stay, at worst, he could go to the secular world to be a master.
"Don't worry, Apprentice Odessa. Since I can bring you out, I can certainly bring you to a safe place. You won't go wrong if you follow me."
While speaking, Calver gently touched the hips of the female apprentice. He had liked the two girls following him for a long time, but he was just mediocre in the tower before and could not catch other people's eyes.
Until this disaster came, relying on his own unique secret passage, he deliberately invited the two girls when he was escaping. The two girls really didn't want to die here easily like him, so they immediately agreed to escape with him.
At this moment, facing Calver's obscenity, Odessa did not resist at all, but said coquettishly: "We believe you, Apprentice Calver, I feel relieved with your words."
As he was speaking, suddenly-
"Hoohoo!~" A gust of wind blew over from the front, and then a figure suddenly appeared in the swamp.
