Moss, algae, and the faint light emitted by reed-like underworld plants allow people to roughly see the puddles scattered around. ()
As you go deeper, you can occasionally see some paths that seem to have been formed by being trampled on for a long time and are borrowed.
Although the Phantom Butterfly Jima is very curious, or careless to the point of being heartless, she is quite courageous. After Raymond lifted the isolation barrier and released it, she immediately pounced on it. It headed towards the puddle not far away, and after a moment, it clasped its hands and returned to Raymond, showing him the water soul it had captured.
"Look, look! How strong this water soul is! It can definitely defeat other water souls and become the master of the barrier..."
It is only half the size of a fist, and its body is almost transparent. The slender tail is curled up at its side, and its body is trembling slightly.
The senses cannot detect its existence, but when you get closer, you can still see a liquid-like substance flowing slowly in its body with the naked eye. However, this water soul with neither facial features nor limbs looks like a slightly thicker layer. duckweed.
Jima, who was holding the water soul in both hands, had undisguised excitement and excitement in her expression, but after observing for a moment, Raymond still couldn't tell the difference between this water soul and the other water souls that had gathered again in the puddle. .
"Did you see it? Did you see it?"
However, Gemma took it for granted that he was observing and comparing, so after Raymond's gaze retracted, it began to ask questions eagerly.
Raymond shook his head and raised his hand to touch it, but Jima, who was frightened, suddenly fell back and immediately closed his hands. "Don't touch it! Don't touch it! If you touch it, you will die. !”
"Why?"
"It is the weakest water soul. Only we, the Phantom Butterflies, can capture them without causing damage to them!"
Gemma's cheeks puffed up as she spoke, and her guarded expression made Raymond speechless. It seemed that this water spirit's status was obviously higher than him, which made him a little unhappy.
Seeing that Raymond did not continue to come closer, Jima, who was unconscious, raised her hands in front of her eyes and whispered carefully to the water soul in her hands. "I will protect you well, and you must hold on until I come back." I’ll go to the village and feed you Youxin’s seeds…”
Raymond shook his head and decided not to worry about it. He snorted to signal it to follow, and then began to move forward slowly.
In this wetland, perhaps because of the mixed water energy, the range that Raymond's perception can detect has been greatly reduced.
Moreover, low-level underworld creatures like water souls can only be seen with the help of the light green crystal given by the Siren tribe when they are close.
And because he had been reminded by Gemma before, he also knew that there was a very powerful evil spirit here, so slowing down a bit would help him respond in advance when emergencies arise.
Evil spirits are notorious evil creatures in the underworld. They are definitely the backbone of the chaotic evil camp. Their weird and bizarre attacks and invisible and traceless existence are deeply feared by people.
Therefore, for Raymond, now that he has condensed his own aura and isolated himself from the external environment, this kind of creature, which is probably just relying on its instinct to survive, is particularly fond of attacking him, especially when he When staying with a phantom butterfly, it was obvious that he was on the weaker side.
This feeling is naturally not good, but if he does not want to cause a swarm of creatures from the underworld, Raymond can only admit and accept this reality.
And Jima, who has two pairs of colorful wings, naturally does not understand this truth. She just holds the water soul and follows behind Raymond, turning Raymond into a pathfinder and a human shield.
existence.
Naturally, low-level water souls would not dare to take any action against Raymond. But stronger dark-type plants would cause him trouble anytime and anywhere.
Rooted in those puddles like water plants, a very aggressive underworld plant called pear capsula. As long as Raymond is not paying attention, he will be attacked by their tough vines protruding from the water.
entangled.
The purple blood orchid that grows beside the puddle will spit out an extremely viscous acidic poisonous mist when he approaches, causing the isolation barrier to be dyed brown in an instant.
The water spirits lurking in the puddles will emit a cloud of ink-colored mist. The powerful power contained in it can even shake the direction of Raymond's movement, causing him to be besieged by more water spirits.
Although everything he encountered was just trouble, Raymond, who had been attacked dozens of times in just half a day, naturally became more and more angry.
However, due to the taboo of not being able to release his own breath, he had no choice but to release invisible fire from time to time to burn these annoying underworld creatures to ashes.
And the phantom butterfly Jima who followed behind him would initially chuckle when he was attacked, but as his face turned darker and darker, Jima, who had his hands folded, did not dare to make a sound anymore.
.
But the smile on the corners of his lips never faded from beginning to end.
The invisible fire, which has miraculous effects on medium and low-level underworld creatures, will burn out a large area of underworld plants in front of it under Raymond's control after being released. However, even if the mana consumption is extremely low, frequent releases will still make people feel uncomfortable.
Raymond was a little tired.
And just when he noticed that the concentration of water energy in the environment began to increase, a cold wind blowing by his side in vain caught his attention.
Along the way, there was no wind in this wetland, and after he noticed the cold wind, the plants in the underworld within his field of vision were motionless.
Raymond suddenly stopped in his heart, but at that moment, the wetland that originally had a glimmer of light fell into absolute darkness in vain.
The first thought that arose in his mind was that he had encountered a relatively powerful underworld creature. Therefore, while raising his right hand, the invisible fire released from his fingertips formed an umbrella shape and covered it.
Surrounded by it, it spreads to all sides.
The invisible fire that should have been able to burn everything dimmed in vain a few meters away from him, and then went out strangely, causing a gap to appear in the invisible fire that spread outward in a ring.
Raymond turned around to face the gap, his pupils were filled with red light, and with the sense condensed and compressed by it, he began to explore the gap.
However, whether it was in his sensory exploration or what he saw through the light green crystal, there was no difference from before, and the invisible fire that should be able to spread to a radius of twenty meters is also about to reach
It suddenly goes out at a distance of ten meters.
The phantom butterfly Jima who should be behind him could not be noticed by Raymond at this moment, and the environment where there was a faint sound before fell into dead silence. Only his own heartbeat became clearer and clearer, and after a moment,
It was like a giant drum being beaten, making him feel that the blood all over his body was boiling!
He quickly held his breath to slow down his heartbeat, but the cool feeling that gently slid across his neck still caused Raymond to lift the shield of his breath and release the threatening pressure field!
Hehe, hehe, hehehe...
The sound of strange laughter came from all directions in vain, and the breeze that contained the coldness before became chaotic and rapid, as if surrounding him, and would touch him from time to time.
His skin, arms, and even his clothes were lifted slightly!
Realizing that something was wrong with the situation, Raymond put his hands in front of him and started waving. After he constructed the complex and weird runes one by one, they began to rotate around him as if they had materialized in front of him.
.
three...
five...
Ten...
After he successfully constructed the twelve special runes, the physical runes surrounding him finally took on new changes!
The faint sparks that burst out from time to time on these runes made loud crackling sounds, and at the same time, Raymond's face was also illuminated by these faint lights... (To be continued...)
