089 Wasteland 1

In the vast underground world, creatures like goblins are famous for their huge numbers.

Raymond remembered a proverb that described it like this: If there is no killing, the whole world will become food for goblins!

At the end of the nearly one-month journey, the beast cart passed by a gnome gathering point, and when he saw the frail and small gnomes playing in the mud, Raymond remembered this sentence, and then He spoke casually.

But what surprised Raymond was that this proverb ushered in the sigh of the coachman. "Don't underestimate these dirty and ugly goblins. They used to have glory a long time ago, and they almost became the rulers of the underground world!"

The coachman's sigh made Raymond somewhat disapproving. In his understanding, goblins were just cheap employees of the wizarding academy. They guarded human gathering places like the wizarding academy in exchange for the food provided by the wizarding organization.

Of course, these goblin tribes in name are the most important allies of the Hongze Wetland Wizard Academy.

But these green-skinned goblins can only rely on their huge population, and after being properly armed by the Wizarding Academy, they can become cheap employees who need blood and life to provide rich resources for the wizards.

In Raymond's understanding, that's all.

On the third day after the beast cart left the hilly area, the comfortable and monotonous journey of Lei Meng and others ended. Not far from where everyone is standing now is a place shrouded in fog. According to the map provided by the black market It shows that behind this area shrouded in fog is the first target of Raymond and others, which is suitable for the entry of second-level apprentices.

When choosing the entry location, Felix had a dispute with Raymond. According to Felix's idea, he should directly enter the area suitable for third-level apprentices.

Because according to the time calculation, everyone will be the first to enter, so the harvest will definitely be very rich.

But Raymond insisted on choosing to enter here, not all because of Rebecca, but Raymond would instinctively choose a relatively safe way, since it is an adventurous collection of resources, it means that risks still exist of.

Although Felix's strength had reached the peak of a third-level apprentice, this did not mean that he could order Raymond, so under Raymond's insistence, Felix still compromised.

After leaving the beast cart, everyone entered the mist, the ground was rough sand and gravel, and the moist mist made people feel as if they had fallen into the water. They were all wet, but their vision was blocked by the mist. However, he did not meet any creatures in the mist.

It wasn't until two days later that Raymond also noticed that the ground was slanting downward when passing through the fog. When the fog became thinner, a landform like a wasteland appeared in front of everyone, and the gravel under their feet became In the dark humus soil, there was also a faint stench in the air.

Raymond and the others, who escaped from the foggy area, entered this wasteland after a short rest.

But after entering the wasteland, Lei Meng and the others seemed to have entered a wild land. All they could see were low and sparse vegetation, no living things, no insects, and even some common birds in the underground world , also disappeared.

In this empty and dead environment, the strong feeling of heart palpitations made everyone lose interest in talking, until the sharp-eyed Aliver discovered the first valuable herb, this depressing atmosphere was overthrown. break in.

This medicinal herb hidden in the bushes was first discovered by Alifer when everyone was resting.

The gray blood grass, which is about an inch long and only has six or seven light gray leaves, is the main material for making powerful hemostatic potions. Although the value of every ten plants is only a low-level magic stone, with the discovery of this herb, , Raymond also understood the true value of this wasteland!

Gray blood grass for making hemostatic potion, orchid flower for making sober potion, ground bamboo root for refining potion for improving elemental affinity...

And as Raymond and the others went deeper, many plants useful to wizards were discovered one after another. Although they didn't grow in large patches, the area here was vast, and the number of plants available for picking was extremely impressive.

Collecting these useful things along the way, everyone's mood gradually became cheerful, but on the third day when everyone entered the wasteland, danger also came inadvertently.

The reason is very simple. When Luisa was picking an orchid flower, she was so excited that she didn't notice the huge wild bee nest hidden in the bushes.

So because Luisa picked too much, the swarm of wild bees that suddenly rose from the bushes immediately made Raymond and the others understand the risks here.

Each of the wild bees in the underground world is larger than a baby's fist, and the sharp tail needles of the wild bees also contain powerful bee venom. After an ordinary person is attacked by more than three wild bees, his whole body will be paralyzed. And die.

A swarm of wild bees appeared in everyone's sight in an instant, and emerged from the bushes like covering the sky and covering the earth. This first attack also put the newly formed team to the test.

Luisa, who was completely stunned by the wild bees, was rescued by Rebecca who approached her, and was dragged away from the bushes quickly.

Raymond's icicle, Felix's flame, and Alifer's spell attack completely covered that area when Luisa got out of the bush.

The sudden encounter reached a climax within a few seconds.

The sound of the incantation when the spell was cast, and the sound of the raging wild bee's wings were mixed together to make people frightened, but immediately there was only the sound of the spell's explosion, which echoed in the wilderness of the wasteland. .

After being attacked by Lei Meng's three people regardless of loss, the bush was completely overturned, the huge beehive was directly burned to ashes, and the even bigger queen bee was caught by Lei Meng before she had time to escape. Meng's ice pick pierced through and killed him immediately.

Therefore, although all the angry wild bees were not killed in the first wave of attacks, they lost their command after the queen bee died. Alifer, who was protected by the body force field, was stung, followed by the wild bee swarm and began a large-scale retreat, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

The confrontation in just a few seconds ended here, and the only Alifer who was stung became the only victim of this incident. The place where he was stung was red and swollen, and the severe pain made him roll on the ground in pain, just like an ordinary person screamed...
