Wizards of the North

The swaying fire light made the shadows distorted and hideous, and it seemed that it would turn into a monster that was chosen and eaten at any time to break free from the shackles of the bonfire. Countless horrified eyes peeped there, and any wind and grass will make them tremble involuntarily. Hiding in the swamp did not make these bugs feel at ease, on the contrary, the figure sitting still, made them even more fearful.

Lily sat there, looking at the bugs hidden in the night, her face showed a trace of disdain. The worm's dodge gaze was full of cowardice and fear, which disappointed her. What can it prove to such an opponent?

The night was too short, and the warm sun shone on the bear, making it groan comfortably. Then it seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stood up and looked around. When I saw Lily's figure not far away, its body fell back to the ground with a loose sound, making a bang.

Lily ignored the little bear behind her, still watching the flying cats, silently recording their magical fluctuations. As the record increased, the mist in the swamp gradually dispersed, revealing its true identity.

When Lily walked towards the swamp with a full-bodied bear, the commotion caused by avoidance and retreat began to spread like a wave.

The surrounding area was obviously full of insects, but the little bear didn't see any one showing its head. The original uneasiness gradually became calm. The position also quietly changed, from following Lily to leading the way. And he roared from time to time, threatening and provoking the surroundings. Occasionally looking back to observe Lily's expression, after receiving continuous smiles of encouragement, it began to show off on the road.

...

The swarm seems to have produced a new king, which makes them re-establish order. It can be seen from the way of commanding the insect swarm that the new insect king is very cunning.

It did not direct the swarm of insects to swarm up, but followed Lily around, patiently waiting for the opportunity. The environment of Feixu Swamp is complicated, and there are so many natural traps enough to make no bones.

But after following a few days, they found that Lily and Cubs can always avoid danger in advance and walk on the safest and most reliable path. During this period, several insects that were too close were caught and used as rations for the bear. This makes them more cautious, and the tracking distance is getting wider.

The bear has a good mouth and is satisfied with the smell of bugs, especially a few thighs and two front paws. Perhaps the surrounding food is too abundant, and it has become more and more picky eaters, which has gradually increased the number of corpses with lack of arms and legs along the way. After several days of experience accumulation, it has been able to tell which one is more delicious by the smell. So the little bear tried to instruct its mistress to catch a more delicious meal.

After many times, Lily also gradually understood that those who are strong and physically strong, especially some of the beasts, are Cubs' favorites. So her hunting became more targeted.

After such hunting continued for a period of time, the rule of the new insect king became shaky. But as we approached the center of the swamp, a stronger will took over the swarm.

The insect swarms began to gather, and the friction of hard wings became louder again. But this loudness didn't last long, almost as soon as the sound rang, it caused a violent blow.

As she continued to penetrate the swamp, Lily gradually became familiar with everything here. The insight that magic gives her allows her to control the right time and place.

The swamp is fair to all creatures here. Although the swarm is more adapted to the environment here, it is also restricted. They gathered in a few small, relatively dry areas and began to scream, but they did not expect the danger to fall from the sky.

Lily jumped into them several times, and the clamor that had just risen instantly turned into unspeakable silence. The end is very bleak, there is at least open space for them to escape on the grassland, and here they are like lambs crowded in the pen to be slaughtered.

Lily has been choosing the route carefully, and the distance she walks varies every day. Gradually the insect swarm was introduced into the seemingly safe Jedi, only considering the bear's rations, the final cleanup was delayed.

She didn't want to let go of any insects that entered the fertile grassland. They were contaminated with the blood of the northern people, and they had to be repaid with their lives.

As the insects died, the will came and went quickly, and disappeared with anxiety.

Lily returned to the bear cub who was waiting anxiously and dropped a bug. "Eat it, I have one for you."

In the days that followed, the insect swarm showed unimaginable tame. Every day, a few robust bugs appear in front of them, and they take the initiative to become the bear's ration. The road became unimpeded, and all disturbances disappeared.

As we approached the center of the swamp, simple road bridges began to appear. The worm's figure increased again, and when he saw Lily and the little bear, they would crawl on the ground until they walked away.

The nests of insect swarms are woven from branches, reeds and other plants. Either hung on a tree trunk, or located in a wooden or stone frame, effectively avoiding the wet ground.

Pieces of mucus the size of a human head are attached to the well-lit stone, which is their egg sheath. The sheath is packed with dense oval eggs.

A larva drilled out of an egg sheath, as if opening a gate, and nearly a hundred more were drilled out of this egg sheath. They stretched their soft bodies hard, and in just a few moments they opened up to the size of a palm, and their wings and bones became hard.

The newly born larva trembles its wings in the breeze, and its emerald green body shines with life in the sun. At this moment, a shadow fell on them. The bear opened his big mouth, and his long tongue swept them away by licking the tape. The larvae are everywhere here, and the little bear also happily sprinkles for the endless snacks.

Lily ignored the little bear, her attention was on the larva that was shrouded in her magic field. These larvae lost some kind of restraint at this time and began to threaten other individuals beside them. The threat quickly turned into a fight...

Certain magical fluctuations suppressed the instincts of these creatures, causing the number of insects to grow rapidly, forcing them to start grouping, migrating, or looting food.

Lily cast her gaze into the distance, where a golden insect king was surrounded and slowly approached her, and the familiar magic wave naturally radiated from that body.

Perceiving Lily's gaze, the insect king immediately fell down and crawled over. Its will was shattered when it first confronted her. As a powerful monster, it can detect that the world is trembling with her breathing, and she is unmatched.
