Chapter 564: Termite Trails
The ethereal sound of the harp echoed over the settlement with a sad tune.
The wizards and apprentices who were controlled in the distance gradually regained consciousness.
Recalling their previous experiences, and seeing the broken limbs around them and the barrier above their heads, these people became terrified and fled in all directions.
The little ants on the ground did not attack the wizards. In their minds, these wizards and apprentices were food for the ant king.
But now, they can no longer sense the breath of the Ant King, and no longer attack ordinary people. They just wander around aimlessly and finally burrow back into the ground.
But at this time, there were only a few wizards or ordinary people left.
Late at night, after a brief period of excitement, the settlement fell into silence again, with only the sound of the harp ringing all night long.
The next morning, after the joint efforts of several wizards, they finally broke the witchcraft barrier that trapped everyone.
Solmon was covered in tears and mixed in with the crowd, running out together.
Finally leaving the settlement that had become a dead place, Thor left the crowd halfway and entered the ancient forest of survivors.
Seeing that there was no one around, Penny finally ran out, "Brother Thor, you beat him up and ran away, are you afraid that he will come out to hunt you down?"
Thor glanced at the little butterfly that had been hunted by Kismet, "I've wanted to beat him up for a long time."
Until now, Thor still couldn't figure out Kismet's real purpose.
Agu, who has seen more, can understand why Thor took action.
Agu: [This person said at the time that the Quicksand Termite scam had nothing to do with him, but I’m afraid that’s not true. ]
Thor sneered, "Not only is it not true, he was the one who instigated this incident."
Kismet had once before in Ralph Manor, using the lives of countless people to cultivate a magical pet.
Later, in order to hunt down the Nightmare Butterfly, he also led ordinary people and wizards into the town of Mofan, which was cursed by the sea of blood.
In short, this person is someone who will do whatever it takes and regardless of sacrifice to achieve his goal.
The most terrifying thing is that no one knows what his purpose is. "I now even suspect that the method of making the soul-reading candle that Monte found, and the method of cultivating the ant king in the belly of the wizard Dolly, were all proposed by Kismet." Thor did not mean to sympathize with these two people.
Morton also spoke at this time.
Morton: [That great wizard and witch are both official wizards, but they are still learning the methods of barbarians. They really don't use their brains, they have all degenerated! ]
Herman: [Senior, what does this mean? Why are you imitating a barbarian?]
Morton: [The power of wizards comes from themselves and from knowledge, but they try to use the power of other demonic creatures to help themselves advance. If they do this, they will be backfired sooner or later.]
Agu sighed.
[Perhaps because I have been unable to get promoted for a long time, I have no choice but to use this method. 】
When talking about the difficulty of promotion, Morton and Herman were silent.
Which wizard hasn't been stuck at some stage? In the end, he even doubted himself, his life, and the world! Only Thor couldn't empathize with him.
He had now arrived at the place in the forest where Monte raised bow-backed termites.
The several wizards who were originally guarding here must have discovered something strange about the settlement and had already left the cave.
The seven ordinary people inside, called the Meat Nests, have all lost their breath.
Apparently the termites here also attacked them.
In the basement of the Pandite Court, Thor found more than just bottles and jars of spirit-reading candle puree. He also found some well-hidden scrolls.
After beating Kismet, he jumped down to the basement and left, putting the things he didn't have time to take away into the storage device.
In addition to these obviously valuable and rare witchcraft scrolls, Thor also discovered something else.
It was this kind of thing that made him not leave immediately after leaving the settlement, but instead plunge into the ancient forest of survivors.
This thing is exactly a tiny termite that has been sealed.
But it is not a Camponotus termite, but a quicksand termite.
Thor, who had once taken care of the queen of quicksand termites in the wizard tower, recognized at a glance that this little termite was a candidate for the queen.
That is to say, if the queen ant in an ant colony dies, it can become a new queen ant at any time to continue the growth of the colony.
But if the queen ant still exists or is not very far away from it, it will always remain the candidate queen ant.
They are smaller than ordinary termites and can enter a state of suspended animation at any time to ensure that when nutrition is insufficient, consumption is reduced so that the queen ant can get more food.
After seeing this termite, Thor immediately realized that there must be a colony of quicksand termites with a queen ant near the settlement.
After Thor entered the depths of the woods, he removed the spell that sealed the termites, then leaned over and gently shook the termites off onto the ground.
At first, the termite just flew around like a headless fly, then seemed to have discovered something and began to gradually move in one direction.
"Xiao Zao, follow him."
The small algae fell to the ground and disappeared in an instant.
As a demonic creature with earth attribute, tracking a small termite in the land is not a problem for it.
Just as Thor was about to catch up, he suddenly felt a powerful wave of magical power behind him.
No, it's a magic riot!
He turned around suddenly and saw a tornado emitting the same magical power in the direction of the settlement! Thor was surprised at first, but then he quickly calmed down.
"Sure enough, he's doing this here just to generate pages!" Thor stared at the diary in his spiritual body, and he wasn't excited about having an extra page.
He could sense that Kismet wasn't collecting the diary pages for him.
…
The tornado of chaotic magic did not last long.
Kismet, standing on the ruins of the Pandi Court, stretched out his hand, and a white page of book gradually condensed at his fingertips.
Kismet was slightly disappointed.
"Sure enough, it is still too difficult to condense a golden page. If that bow-backed termite can advance to the third level, maybe it will be possible."
Kismet was not surprised when the white pages in his hand also disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The owner of the diary is nearby, and the newly generated pages will naturally find their owner.
Rather than myself...
Kismet rested his chin on the top of the harp.
At this time, the wound on his face had disappeared, but the blood on the strings was still there.
"If we want to condense the golden pages, a small settlement is not enough. We still need to do something big. I wonder when the wind demon will be able to take action?"
Far away from the ancient forest of survivors, there is a steep cliff.
There are several caves carved into the cliff, so densely packed that it makes one feel uncomfortable.
In the highest cave here lives one of the three third-level beings in the No Man's Land.
Wind demon.
In the highest caves, narrow passages lead to extremely spacious caves, which are nested one inside the other, like a complex maze.
In a corner of the maze, in a cave decorated as magnificently as a palace, sat a beautiful woman.
The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, making her charming face more sharp.
Even though she was just sitting lazily on the chair, she could still make the maid beside her feel uneasy.
The woman seemed to be thinking about something, and her posture had not changed for three days.
At this time, someone finally came in and broke the silence.
A guard dressed as a warrior came in and knelt on one knee, "Lord Wind Demon, Wizard Monte's termite plan has failed."
