Chapter 125 - Secret
Chapter 125: Secret
The stinger was as fast as lightning and appeared in front of Heath in an instant.
However, at the same time, a silver-white liquid metal quietly emerged like a curtain. The stinger that flew towards it made a ‘bang’ sound when it hit it and was sent flying.
Then.
Clang! A cold metallic sound exploded.
The cross blade was suddenly unsheathed and streaked across the air with a cold light. Like a rising crescent moon, it pounced towards the Mylott Wasp. However, with a ‘poof’ sound, the Mylott Wasp’s head and half of its wings were cut off.
The insect that had lost its center of gravity fell into the mud with a ‘plop’ sound. Its large body, which was not completely dead yet, was still hovering on the ground, stirring up a large amount of mud.
Heath was about to attack again, but at this moment…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The sound of dense flapping of wings could be heard.
Five or six Mylott Wasps suddenly flew out, and their high tails shot out a few needles towards Heath. For a time, only the sound of ‘xiu xiu xiu’ could be heard.
Heath frowned. While he used his Mimicry Shield to block the incoming attack, he charged into the swarm of insects. He waved the cross sword in his hand repeatedly, cutting down these monsters.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
An even more intense buzzing sound exploded.
Hundreds of Mylott Wasps suddenly flew out in front of him. Other than that, there were also Demonized Giant Ants, Giant Spiders, and Pandora’s Blood Mosquitoes. There were hundreds and thousands of them.
Heath’s hair stood on end. Seeing that, he didn’t dare to be careless anymore. He hurriedly threw away the corpse on the ground and left.
More than ten minutes later…
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
In the forest, more than ten Mylott Wasps circled around the forest like patrolling guards. Soon, as if they didn’t find anything, the Mylott Wasps quickly flew away.
Not long after the Mylott Wasps flew away, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest.
“Did they poke the nest over there? Why do the bugs suddenly seem to have gone crazy?” Looking at the Mylott Wasps that had gone far away, Heath was puzzled.
For some reason, not only did the bugs in this area suddenly increase in number, but they also became very aggressive. What was even stranger was that they even became in groups, as if something was controlling them.
“Over there… is that the Forest Guard Tower? Did something happen to the Forest Guard Tower?”
The area where the bugs had mutated happened to be in the Forest Guard Tower. Heath felt that this was definitely not a coincidence.
“Forget it, let’s find someone to ask…”
With this thought in mind, he entered stealth mode again and continued to sneak back to the corpse of the Knight he had found before. He picked up the corpse and walked out.
He walked out for nearly a thousand meters. This was what he had repeatedly tried to discover when he was entangled with the bugs. The active areas of these bugs were mainly concentrated within a thousand meters of the Forest Guard Tower. The forest would return to normal once it was beyond this area.
He carried the corpse to a nearby cave. He then took out runic pens, beast blood, white candles, and other items from his space pocket and set up a magic array on the ground.
After two years of hard training, Heath’s dark magic had also improved significantly. Not long after, a soul summoning array was set up.
With the chanting of an obscure spell, the soul that had yet to dissipate from the corpse was dragged out by him.
The incomplete soul made the man look silly, but it was more than enough to answer the question.
Heath asked, “What happened? Why were you there? Where is your master?”
As he spoke, Heath raised a white candle to the man’s eyes.
The man’s eyes focused on the candlelight.
He opened his mouth and said intermittently, “We… encountered… an… attack… monster…”
Under the flickering candlelight, the man slowly described the whole story.
As he listened to the man’s description, Heath’s expression changed rapidly. At first, he was puzzled, then surprised, and then he frowned, until it slowly turned into…
Excitement and anticipation…
…
Shadow Tower, canteen.
In front of the dining table, Ender and a few other Apprentices were gathering together. They were eating the food on the table and talking about all kinds of messy things.
Ender said, “I don’t know how that guy Heath is doing. I heard that there is a war going on everywhere. It is crazy for him to go out alone. I don’t understand. Is it not good to stay here?”
Jessica flipped her hair and said, “What’s good about it? Even the Meditation Water is out of stock. Although it was hard in the past, there was no need to worry about cultivation resources. But now, there is nothing!”
“If this goes on, I’m afraid that cultivation will become a problem…”
Everyone frowned, shook their heads, and sighed.
An Apprentice asked, “Have you guys considered going out? I heard that although it’s very chaotic outside now, there are opportunities everywhere.”
Everyone at the dining table fell silent.
Ender first shook his head and said, “Forget it. No matter how many resources we have, we have to be alive to spend them. Right now, there are people dying everywhere outside. With our little ability, what can we get if we go out? Most likely, we’re just delivering food to others.”
An Apprentice echoed, “If only I had the strength like Heath. I would have gone out to fight long ago!”
Ender said, “I can’t compare to him. He is a madman!”
Jessica sighed softly and said, “Yeah. With his hard work, how can he not be strong? He rises early, greets the dark, and is not afraid of the wind and rain. Sometimes, I even suspect that this guy won’t be tired!”
Jenny said, “That’s why he was able to advance to an intermediate Apprentice in just three years!”
The Apprentices also agreed one after another.
“Tsk tsk, based on his progress, I’m afraid that in another three years, he might advance to an advanced Apprentice.”
“It won’t be that fast. It’ll take at least five years.”
“That’s still very impressive, okay? How many people can advance to an advanced Apprentice in ten years?”
Ender frowned and said a little unhappily, “Alright, whether he can advance or not, he has to survive first. Have you forgotten what’s happening outside? With his greedy personality, sooner or later, he’ll get into trouble. What if he meets some powerful madman?”
He snorted lightly and said, “I see that when the time comes, he won’t be able to get any resources, and instead, he’ll lose his life.”
…
On the other side, in Magic Bug Forest, in the cave.
From a certain point of view, Ender’s judgment of Heath was indeed quite accurate. When faced with benefits, he would always sacrifice himself. No matter how great the danger he faced, as long as it gave enough benefits, it would always be able to drive him forward.
As long as it did not involve his own moral bottom line, he was willing to rack his brains and work hard for it.
It was the same in his work in the past, it was the same now as he became an Apprentice Wizard, and it would not change in the future.
In his view, in this world, no matter what the situation was, he should strive forward and strive to pursue everything he wanted. Only then would his life be meaningful.
He preferred writing his own epic to listening to other people’s legends.
And it was the same at this moment.
After listening to the Knight’s soul’s description of the incident, Heath’s eyes were completely replaced by excitement and anticipation.
His mind was completely captivated by the item that the Knight mentioned.
What the Knight mentioned was…
“Wizard’s Water! There’s Wizard’s Water here!”
