Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger

The Tree Monster Forest is a dense forest located on the south side of the Dark Forest. The reason why it has this name is because there is a magical creature called the Tree Monster living here.

Their appearance is almost the same as ordinary big trees, but in fact they are all living creatures, feeding on flesh and blood. Once a living creature approaches, they will stretch out vines covered with thorns to wrap around them and suck out their flesh and blood. They are very dangerous. Dangerous magical creatures.

Two days later, at the entrance to the tree monster forest.

"Huhu~"

The strong wind blows through the forest and makes a roaring sound. The flowers, plants and trees living in the forest are swaying in the wind. As far as you can see, there are dense trees with lush branches and leaves, which are full of vitality. They only remind people of tranquility and peace.

But there is a murderous intention hidden in such a peaceful forest. If you observe carefully, you will find that there is no trace of animal activity in such a lush forest.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Luo Xi walked on the earthworm-like muddy path. Fallen leaves and various decaying vegetation had accumulated a thick layer on the ground. When he walked up, it was like stepping on soft tatami, and there was a squeaking sound.

Cerberus Nilu was walking next door to Luo Xi. At this moment, her huge body had shrunk to less than two meters, and she looked like a small pony.

Although Nilu has not been able to recover yet, the recent treatment still has a certain effect. The 'shrinking' in front of her is the result of Luo Xi's research.

Through repeated fission of the cell nucleus, Luo Xi gave Nilu the ability to freely control the size of her body. The maximum is the usual seven or eight meters giant, and if she shrinks it, the limit can reach the size of an ordinary puppy, even in appearance. There are certain changes.

One person and one dog, the two slowly walked towards the forest.

"rustle."

At this moment, there was a subtle rustling sound, and a slender rattan stretched silently towards Luo Xi and Nilu in the middle of the road. Under the cover of a large number of decaying plants, this thumb-thick rattan was barely noticeable. Less than.

Just when he was about a foot away from Luo Xi, the vine suddenly shrank and then swooped out, like a poisonous snake hunting its prey, and suddenly rushed out towards Luo Xi.

The thumb-thick rattan instantly expanded several times, and dense thorns spread out on the surface of the rattan, transforming into a long thorn whip.

Seeing that this long whip was about to involve Luo Xi, but at this moment, a ball of flame suddenly burst out from the side of the Cerberus and quickly wrapped around the vine. There was only a "bang" sound, and the vine was The article was instantly swept away by the blazing flames.

The flames swallowed up the vine in an instant and quickly extended towards the forest in the distance, pulling out a long line of fire on the ground.

Then a scream full of spite rang out from the depths of the forest.

"Whoosh!" With a sound, Nilu quickly ran out in the direction of the sound. In just a few breaths, the sound of the forest disappeared. After a while, the hellhound came back again.

Opening its mouth, Cerberus spit out a palm-sized, oval-shaped, weird fruit entangled with vines -

Tree monster heart.

Luo Xi touched Nilu's head and praised, "Well done."

No wonder wizards like to raise magic pets. It has to be said that it is indeed very convenient. If there is any trouble, Luo Xi does not need to take action at all. The magic pet that only needs a thought and mind connection can perfectly follow the instructions and deal with the trouble.

Of course, this also has something to do with the specialness of Nilu, the hell dog.

The vast majority of familiars are beasts in origin, and their intelligence is very limited. Although they can communicate with their owners through the spirit, overly complex instructions are still difficult to understand.

Including high-level magical beings like Cerberus, although they are powerful, they are still only beasts with limited intelligence.

But Nicole is different. With her soul as an apprentice, she is a high-level intelligent life, and there will be absolutely no obstacles in communication. No matter how complex the instructions given by Luo Xi are, she can effectively execute them.

From this aspect, that Angmar is indeed a genius!

After praising Nilu, Luo Xi picked up the heart of the tree monster on the ground. The strength of magical creatures such as forest tree monsters is almost at the advanced apprentice level. Their hearts are also very useful magic materials. Since they are here, they should collect some by the way. .

As they walked deep into the forest, there were tree monsters trying to attack them one after another on the road. Magical creatures at this level were not yet able to accurately judge the strength of their prey. In addition, Luo Xi and Nilu deliberately concealed their presence. In the strange eyes, they are just delicious food.

Under this method of fishing and law enforcement, these tree monsters kept coming to kill people. In just one morning, Luo Xi collected dozens of tree monster hearts.

A heart is worth nearly a hundred magic stones, and these dozens of hearts are worth thousands of magic stones. You can earn some pocket money along the way.

Just like that, they moved forward. At 10 noon, Luo Xi took Nilu to the depths of the forest, which was also close to the misty forest that Claire mentioned.

"Hoo ho!"

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from the depths of the forest.

Nilu's nose suddenly moved, as if she had discovered something, and her eyes became alert.

"Huh? You mean there are blood factors in this wind?"

Nilu quickly gave Luo Xi a signal through the spiritual link, saying that she could smell the smell of blood in the wind and that it belonged to humans.

Luo Xi opened his elemental vision and observed it, but he did not find the blood that Nilu mentioned. However, he still believed in Nilu's judgment. After all, Nilu was far stronger than him, and Cerberus was still the strong point in terms of better perception.

After explaining to Luo Xi, Nilu rushed out to investigate the situation. After confirming that the front was safe, she sent a signal to Luo Xi through the spiritual link, and Luo Xi stepped forward.

After passing through a bush, what appeared in front of you was an open space that seemed to have just experienced a fire. The ground was full of charred grass and soil, and there were charred trees scattered everywhere.

"magic?"

Judging from the reaction of the remaining elements in the air, it was obvious that the fire here was not natural. Luo Xi lifted up the burnt soil on the ground and looked at it, and soon found traces of the magic circle in it.

It seems that someone has arranged a large flame magic circle in this open space. These charred lands are caused by the release of flame magic here.

Such a large fire magic would definitely not be used to burn down the forest. The target of the magic is none other than the most common and most difficult magical creature in this forest, the forest tree monster.

There were charred trees everywhere in the open space, and even the tree trunks fell to the ground with roots. These were the corpses of forest tree monsters.

It is indeed a good idea to set up a large flame magic array in the forest clearing, then attract the forest tree monsters and release the spell to wipe out all the surrounding forest tree monsters.

But this is a good way to attract forest tree monsters.

Luo Xi looked up towards the center of the clearing. There was a big burned tree, and on the big tree were the baits that attracted the tree monsters.
