Diving into the sea in one breath, I finally let out a sigh of relief.
Surfacing quickly to rest for a while, then diving again to seal the entrance with stone, I finally departed.
Locating my bearings nearby through my navigational skills.
Finally, after traveling at full speed for three days.
Safely returning to Koster, I crawled into the underground safehouse and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
A branch of the North Sea Giant Beast Family.
A Second Ring Wizard, Repa Giant Beast's younger sister, Olivia Giant Beast, is nearing adulthood and has come to seek out her brother Repa at the White Tower.
She brought with her the Contracted Beast bestowed by her family—the North Sea Giant Worm, traveling southward to this place.
During a rest in a small town.
She heard about the Monster Salt Swamp near Koster, home to the rotten qiulong, her favorite food for her beloved pet.
And the Salt Swamp also falls under her brother Repa's dominion.
Thus, after a day's stay.
Olivia peaceably made her way to the Salt Swamp Camp.
After paying the entrance fee, she headed for the territory of the rotten qiulong according to the map; it happened that this creature's territory was adjacent to the Earth Cave Spider Territory, both creatures being underground dwellers.
The battles mostly occur underground.
While Olivia was hunting the rotten qiulong, she inadvertently entered the Earth Cave Spider's lair.
Surrounded by a mass of spiders, she had no choice but to make the Giant Worm drill downwards.
As it drilled, it suddenly entered a natural passage.
The passageway was very narrow, and a strong Magic Power aura came rushing towards her from the other end.
Olivia immediately lit up with joy.
"An underground ruin?!"
What she didn't notice was that, along the passageway every few distances there would be a patch of reddish-yellow snake scales. Caught up in her elation, she instructed the North Sea Giant Worm, which was as long as three zhang and as white as a maggot, to seal the entrance with Bloodline Witchcraft.
She then headed towards the direction of the underground ruins.
Dozens of Poisonous Liquid Flying Dragons burst out of the ground; this creature is a Sub-dragon Species, closely resembling real Giant Dragons.
However, they only have two feet and their bodies are much more slender.
The color of their entire bodies was yellow-green, and upon emerging from underground, they spewed out a large amount of Poison Liquid Breath in rage towards the way they came from.
The ground corroded, emitting white smoke.
It sank a large chunk almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Each adult Poisonous Liquid Flying Dragon has the strength of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice, and their leader is at least at Wizard Level.
Olivia, reckless, stumbled into a huge disaster.
She could only continue to drill downwards, but her physical status was extremely poor, with corrosive marks all over her face and body.
Even pustules had formed, her complexion was very bad, and she could only allow the Giant Worm to take her deeper underground.
The face of the four-armed wizard in the camp tower didn't look too good.
"Damned Snake Demon, only managed to lure it out for a bit, damn! Damn!!"
Snake Demons possess low-level intelligence and are generally easy to control once dominated, just like wild beasts.
But there was something clearly not right with this Snake Demon.
After attracting the Earth Cave Spiders, it went completely silent, and now even its location and aura could no longer be felt.
The four-armed wizard began to use the Tower Spirit to amplify his spiritual power and expand his detecting range.
When he saw the various corpses strangled by spider webs in the Earth Cave Spider Cave, his face darkened to the extreme.
Apprentices from the Ocean Academy and the White Tower, but none from his Late Bell Church!!
How do you explain that?
Could a Snake Demon possess such high intelligence?!
An invisible gloom hung over his head, and his mood was utterly foul.
Was he being calculated by the Moon Witch? Or had the old lizard betrayed him?
Just as he was entertaining conspiracy theories.
A kilometer underground.
New underground passages appeared, the eerie yellow amber coated the walls, resembling the back heart exit of some creature...
Olivia fell down, severely injured.
One arm, only bone remained.
The North Sea Giant Worm took the opportunity to stretch its body, squeezing in, transforming from three to five Zhang long, resembling a white snake, deftly sealing the entrance with a spit.
When the way they came in was blocked by stone chunks as hard as steel, Olivia finally let out a sigh of relief.
The sudden noise made the two main pets alert.
Soon, a two-Zhang tall, four-armed Snake Demon crawled from around the corner, its aura reaching the limit of a Wizard Apprentice's.
Causing her to involuntarily gasp.
You're done for, Olivia! That's what you get for running around, today is just too unlucky.
At the moment she closed her eyes to accept death.
Unexpectedly, the Snake Demon did not attack but left a scroll wrapped in its hair and quickly left.
Olivia exchanged a glance with the beloved worm, phooey, the beloved crawler.
She picked up the scroll and started reading.
The more she read, the worse her complexion became.
"Crawler, we need to leave this place, find Brother Repa first, then settle the score with these people."
Strictly speaking, she was affected by the aftermath of Lin Suo slaying Sara, but if it weren't for sufficient interests, the Moon Witch, the four-armed one, and the old lizard wouldn't have struck at Olivia.
It must have been something Repa did that had affected the trio's interests.
Otherwise, a mere Sara was not worth angering Second Ring Wizard Repa!
All this remains unknown for now.
But the scroll recorded the persecution by the four-armed against the Wild Wizards, and against her! Olivia Giant Beast.
This was a provocation against the Giant Beast Family.
She would not let that First Rank Wizard off.
Walking along the passage for a long time, if not for the Giant Worm's speed, she might have given up, her body getting weaker and her mind more and more dizzy; her battered body urgently needed healing.
However, at the end of the passageway, a Stone Wall nearly caused her to collapse on the spot.
Fortunately, the Giant Worm told her that the ocean lay beyond the Stone Wall.
Otherwise, if this were a dead end, she would have had the heart to kill herself right there.
A long-missed full night's sleep left Lin Suo refreshed and clear-headed.
As for the previous dodgy escape, was it a blow to his dignity?
Dignity? Dignity only matters in front of others, one must be alive to have dignity.
I am a coward, when I see things going south, I run!
No problem with that!
Besides, no one saw it.
Also made a hole, so I don't have to pay to enter Salt Swamp in the future, just need to be sneaky enough to blend in with the monsters for ambushes, killing, and gathering materials; the risk is truly not that high.
After quickly washing up and changing into fresh clothes, Lin Suo prepared to live on the surface for a while to soothe his startled soul.
"Then tonight I'll eat... a grilled feast!"
"Fish balls, fish fillets, prawns, lamb kebabs, beef kebabs, beef tallow, lamb kidneys, roasted lamb legs, and some grilled naan bread, hmm... can't forget raw garlic!"
In the small courtyard of only thirty square meters behind the Rhein Bookstore.
On the open-air barbecue, Lin Suo lay on a rocking chair, holding a hand pot, and beside... two Magic Hands were busy flying.
Applying sauce, flipping, blowing fire, chopping vegetables.
"Mmm, as expected of life-oriented witchcraft, after breaking through +1, not only is the constructed arm a lot more refined, but I can also materialize two arms; had I known I would have grinded sooner."
"Such a pity, such a pity..."
