The Era of Gods

  Chapter 615 Self-reliance

  The green grass is hazy under the mist, and weeds of various colors are dotted in it. If you ignore the disgusting cry in the distance, it looks like you are in a paradise.

  Fifteen apprentice wizards, mostly in black robes, rode through this jungle on horseback. One apprentice wizard took out the water bag behind and took a sip and muttered:

   "A disgusting animal-faced bird, it's disgusting to bark."

  The air temperature is a bit high, and the jungle is very humid. When riding a horse in the forest, the clothes will quickly become moist. It is extremely uncomfortable in this humid environment.

  The team speeds up here slowly. According to the map, this is already the deepest part of the ghost fog forest, not very far from the ruins of the underground palace in the jungle. The instructor has already taken his apprentices to arrive one step ahead of them.

  "This is a long way from the ruins of the underground palace, and occasionally some monsters in the ruins will escape. Be careful."

  An experienced wizard apprentice observes around in a circle and loudly reminds his companions.

  Lin Xiao untied the black robe and shook the dew condensed on the waterproof robe. A wizard apprentice who was also shaking the black robe leaned over and whispered:

  "I heard that there are three floors of the underground palace ruins, but they have not been fully explored. From time to time, I heard that some people found new closed crypts underneath and got huge benefits. Should we take the time to take a look?"

  Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, his rich experience made him immediately understand what the man was thinking, and he smiled and said:

  "It’s still not going to happen. I don’t have enough experience to go out for the first time, so let’s do some simple tasks."

  He refused, the man did not force him, shrugged and stepped aside, and chatted with another wizard apprentice he didn't know.

  He sneered, so obviously looking for cannon fodder would make the newcomer fooled.

  Although he is considered a rookie among wizards, he is not himself. He has been tested for a long time, and he can see through it at a glance.

  The team stopped here for a while, then slowed down and continued to move forward.

Not long after he left, Lin Xiao suddenly sniffed. In addition to the peculiar smell of the jungle, there was also a hint of blood in the air. It was not strong but very fresh, indicating that there had been killings here not long ago, but no fighting was found nearby. Mark of.

  He was wondering, suddenly there was a slight muffled hum from the back of the team. Most of the dozen people reacted and quickly turned their heads and saw nothing unusual.

  Everyone looked at the last person in the team, but he looked at everyone blankly, as if nothing happened.

  A few seconds later, everyone looked back one after another. When Lin Xiao was about to take it back, he suddenly paused. His eyes became serious and he drew out the sword with a ‘choking’, and the others turned around like a reflex. He pointed to the last person and said:

"He is dead!"

As soon as the voice fell, a white phantom flew out from behind the person. Everyone's eyes were not weak, and they saw that it was a transparent ghost holding a man’s soul and flying out. The wizard apprentice riding on a horse was taken away directly from the soul. Fall down immediately.

"kill!"

An invisible force restrains it from moving, two transparent wind blades that are one foot long, three fireballs, several invisible forces fly out and hit the white phantom at the same time, with a bang accompanied by an ear-piercing scream, transparent The ghost exploded to pieces, and the soul of another wizard apprentice was also exploded, but there was an invisible force that kept it from breaking apart, and the floating and falling body merged into it.

   The apprentice wizard woke up with a sigh of pain, and thanked everyone with an extremely difficult action.

  Lin Xiao Zhengerba received his bow tightly, and he did save his life. As for the soul injury, it was not his business. If you don't act decisively in this situation, you will be dead if the soul is taken away.

  After this encounter, everyone became extra vigilant.

The third-level wizard apprentices are quite powerful. A dozen of them, even formal wizards, were unable to do anything for a while. They went all the way to the depths of the ghost fog forest. From a distance, they saw a lush forest standing in the middle of numerous vines and moss. The covered tower is densely packed with gaps.

That is the site of the ruins of the underground palace. It is said that this was the residence of a school a long time ago. I don’t know what happened later. That school was destroyed overnight. The imperial masters came to check and didn’t seem to find anything. They just declared it abandoned and not allowed to follow. The occupants of this resident are abandoned over time.

  The surface of the underground palace has been completely deserted and covered by lush jungle. It would be difficult for outsiders to find the uncollapsed tower if it weren't for it.

  They moved forward with the tall tower as the coordinates. They soon came to the ruins at the gate of the original school. A small camp was built in front of the ruins of the gate. Several apprentices, wizards and apprentices were clearing the surrounding vines and weeds.

  Seeing their arrival, several apprentices all beckoned with joy. A tall and curvy female apprentice with a charming face came to them, and everyone dismounted, she said:

   "I am the instructor and apprentice Ailian, you guys are here just in time. Clean up the campsite and expand the campsite."

  This arrogant gesture makes people feel uncomfortable in an instant.

  However, she is a disciple of the instructor, and the instructor is in the camp tent. Naturally, they dare not refuse. Everyone tied their horses and started to work.

  Lin Xiao led a task of cleaning up weeds. He took out a sharp-edged shovel from the package and used it as a knife to cut and sweep the weeds spreading from the edge to one side.

  The rhizomes of these weeds have thick chopsticks and are extremely tough. Cut them with a shovel, which will not only bleed out unpleasant juices, but also twist them back and forth a few times like a snake, making them feel like living creatures.

  But this is really not a living thing. This weed is everywhere in this world, or that many plants in this world are so weird.

More than ten times the strength of ordinary people cleaned up the weeds in the area responsible for several times, clearing out a large area, and then someone sprayed a spray into the soil to kill the insects and weeds hidden in the grass. The area will not grow grass for a few months and no bugs will pass by.

  Many people are easy to handle, and the camp is quickly tied up. Several fires are scattered around. After the work has been dark these days, the tent door cloth is separated, and a figure walks out of it.

  There was a moment of silence in the camp. Everyone looked over, showing a trace of respect on their faces, and called out instructor Julien in unison.

  This is a senior official wizard. It is said that the spiritual power has been crystallized a long time ago, and it is about to start to be promoted to the second-level wizard. Once promoted, he will immediately become the upper-level powerhouse of the academy.

  Instructor Julien is tall and handsome, and looks like an aristocratic son, regardless of his appearance or habits, he is very different from the wizards in ordinary people's impressions.

  I don't know if it is an illusion, Lin Xiao always feels that this style is familiar, as if he has seen it before.

  The female apprentice named Zhu Lian saw the instructor coming out, and quickly stepped forward and called out the instructor. She leaned against the man's arms without any hesitation, and Zhu Lien squeezed her water snake-like waist a few times.

  There is no change in the expressions of everyone, which is quite common in this world.

  Many women or men who are generally beautiful and beautiful will be attached to the strong. They are teachers and disciples during the day, and lovers sleep together at night.

  Julian pinched the disciple a few times, looked up and said to the new apprentice:

"You have already understood the task. At the end of this trip, everyone can divide five magic stones, and if one piece of ancient moss is collected, one can be divided into one magic stone. In addition, if the total number of ancient moss collected this time exceeds one hundred, everyone will be finished. After that, there are three more magic stones."

   "Thank you for your generosity!"

  Everyone immediately became excited, and they looked full of energy.

  Julian smiled with satisfaction, holding the female disciple back to the tent, and soon the candlelight flickered inside, and there was a faint hum and impact, and the sound became louder and louder as time went by.

  Many apprentices looked enviously away from the tent, but that said, no wonder.

  Early the next morning, a few apprentices who seemed to be not sleeping well summoned them to start assigning tasks and announced their departure. As for the instructor, they did not show up.

  Most ancient moss grows in the underground palace, but occasionally found in the ruins on the surface of the underground palace, it is safer than the dangerous underground palace. You must search here first.

  Everyone is scattered to search for their own area. Anyway, they are all third-level wizard apprentices. They have a certain strength, and they can support the instructor to save them when they are in danger.

  There are very few people in the ruins. The vegetation is quite lush. There are vines entwining the ruins on the trees like snakes. Occasionally there are real snakes hanging from the ruins, and they suddenly take a bite when they pass by.

  Lin Xiao applied anti-insect and anti-snake medicine to his body before leaving. With his strong agility and sensitivity, he can usually spot hidden snakes and insects in advance.

  But the most dangerous thing here is not snakes and insects at all, but various monsters hidden in the ruins.

  When passing by a big tree, countless vines hanging on the tree suddenly rose automatically without wind, and the vines with thick fingers rose like a snake and dragged him under the tree.

   "Boom Boom Boom"

With a series of breaking noises, Lin Xiao broke a dozen vines with brute force and rushed out, cutting off several vines with a backhand sword, cutting down and cutting with the knife in his hand, large pieces of stems and leaves were scattered, and this piece of vine was quickly removed. Even the tree was chopped down, and the roots of the vine were found at the bottom of the tree full of bones and continued to dig down. He quickly dug out a fleshy knot with a big head and roots, cut off the thick roots and took them out.

  This thing is the core root of this huge vine. It can be used to refine potions, or sold to wizards who use the plant system to cultivate battle-type plant familiars. It is worth 6 magic stones.

  Wrap things in layers of cloth into a zongzi and stuff them into the backpack. Even if this is worth the fare, this trip is not a loss.

  Next, he continued to search, but his good fortune may be over. He kept finding the surface of the entire underground palace ruins at night, but did not dug a piece of ancient moss.

  If it wasn't for someone to dig it, he would think it was not on the surface.

  Back to the camp, everyone sold the ancient moss to the instructor, and Lin Xiao also sold the rhizome for six magic stones.

   Take a rest for one night, and wash up early the next morning. Everyone waited at the gate of the underground palace. After a while, wizard Julien brought a few disciples over, and he would enter the underground palace with everyone.
