Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Level 6 Goosegrass

Chapter 68 Level 6 Beefgrass

Gabi Montoya used the [Cat Transformation Technique] and turned into a black cat with big eyes and a pitch-black body, like a coal ball.

The spirit cat transformation is a magic model that can only be used by wizard apprentices who specialize in transformation magic.

Every shapeshifter must go through a long period of hard learning before officially transforming.

In the dark elf Sassari’s course on everything, Locke heard Sassari say that some wizard apprentices had failed in transfiguration and could never regain their human form, and eventually turned into some kind of magical creature.

This may be the true origin of the centaurs in the southeastern region.

The earliest ancestor of the centaurs was most likely a failed wizard’s apprentice who transformed into a horse.

Transfiguration magic is considered to be relatively dangerous among all magics.

Especially the magical sub-direction of this transformation itself.

Locke glanced at Gabi Montoya in black cat form. In the field of transfiguration, she should be in the state of a civet cat.

It has amazing agility, can dodge many spell attacks, and has an exceptionally developed sense of smell.

Speaking of which, the first affinity particle of the shapeshifter should be the shape particle [ether element].

If Gabi Montoya could get as many rose-red gems as she did, her progress would be rapid.

However, Locke had no intention of trying to help her.

Rose-red gems are too rare in the southeast corner, so it would be abnormal to take them out by yourself. Unlike synthetic plants, it cannot be concealed.

Therefore, it is best for this kind of secret to be known only to yourself.

Gabi Montoya hopped from rock to rock, sniffing the ground for the distinct scent of rats.

She must have her own unique qualities to be able to take on this kind of exploratory academy mission.

Before, she had only been causing trouble because she had been looking in the wrong direction and lacked knowledge of the relevant magical plants. Now, with Locke pointing the way, in less than half a day, she had found the rats’ base camp by following the scent of the rats on the ground.

Gabi Montoya leaped to a cave in the wilderness. She gracefully lifted her black cat tail, lowered her forequarters, and wiped her mouth with her paw. “Senior Locke, the rats are all gathered in this cave.”

“This cave must be very deep and may be connected to an underground water system. I vaguely heard the sound of flowing water.”

Gabi said, “This cave is probably several thousand meters deep.”

“When I investigated the Ashgra Mountains before, I never investigated this place…”

“I really should have thought of this sooner…”

Locke looked at the entrance of the cave. It seemed that something had happened near the cave, so there were some simple wooden railings blocking the entrance of the cave.

I think that some of the civilians in the Ashgra Mountains must have accidentally fallen into this cave and died in it.

Therefore, the Ashgra people sealed the entrance of the cave and left some facilities to warn people who approached.

Next to the cave, Locke even saw several small stone cross tombstones. The ages of the children engraved on those tombstones were relatively young, about ten years old.

Yes, if there are children playing near the cave or grazing, and they fall into the cave, they may fall directly into the underground water system thousands of meters deep. Not to mention surviving, even their bodies will be difficult to find.

Gabi said to Locke, “Senior Locke, this cave is so complex inside. Should we go in? The underground water system is very complicated. We can easily get lost in the complex underground world or encounter a landslide.”

Locke’s expression remained unchanged. “Come in.”

“You’re a shapeshifter, so you don’t need to worry about anything. You should be able to perform both the Civet Cat Transfiguration and the Night Owl Transfiguration. You won’t be trapped in this underground water system.”

Locke really needs Gabi’s help.

As we all know, shapeshifter wizard apprentices are very outstanding in reconnaissance ability, so Lilith Hut has specially opened such a magic category.

This type of wizard apprentices shined in the wizard war with the Blood Curse Court. They were always able to detect the vampire transformer wizard apprentices hiding in the crowd by transforming into magical creatures.

Therefore, Locke really needs Gabi to lead the way for him in the underground water system.

Locke whispered a spell, and suddenly the three level 6 invisible Mandrake vines hidden in the sleeve of his wizard robe on his right hand began to move.

Multiple manipulation + vine hands!

The three invisible Mandrake vines each extended five branches, like three huge vine palms, inserted into the ground, and then used the reaction force to support Locke and let Locke float in the air.

With the powerful magic power close to that of a first-class wizard apprentice, Locke can drive three magic vines for a long time, and these magic vines are like Locke’s appendages, which he can control as easily as his arms and fingers.

Allow Locke to crawl into the cave like a magic spider.

As Locke entered the cave, the three vines wrapped around his right hand turned into three giant hands, which pierced into the rock wall and then crawled quickly on the rock wall.

Gabi hesitated for a moment, then used the Night Owl Transfiguration Technique to transform into an owl with night vision, and dived into the cave.

Two hours later, the two had already entered the bottomless cave.

The interior of the cave is indeed very complicated and winding. Some passages are narrow, while some are very wide. However, both of them can use their magic to easily pass through these places that are difficult for ordinary people to pass through.

Locke whispered a spell, and the invisible Mandrake vine, like a drill, penetrated into the barrier of the rock passage ahead, which was too narrow to allow only a creature as big as a cat to pass through.

With the sound of “crackling, crackling”, the three vine hands, as if kneading sand, completely crushed the hard underground rock wall, creating a passage for people to pass through.

Locke scattered a field of oxtail grass seeds in front of him, chanted a spell, and cast a 0.5-ring weed entanglement trick model.

These bullgrasses are also level 6 synthetic plants. They are the level 6 bullgrasses that I synthesized during this period, and the seeds that remained after they matured.

A special recipe for level 6 Goosegrass appeared at level 6. Three level 5 Goosegrass can be synthesized into a level 6 Iron Wire Goosegrass.

The reproductive capacity of this kind of goosegrass has not increased much, but its flexibility has become much higher, like a piece of iron wire.

In addition to the rapid reproduction ability of the Level 5 Goosegrass, Locke has taken the weed binding to a new level with the cooperation of this wire goosegrass.

Layer upon layer of wiregrass entangled with each other and continued to grow between the cracks of the broken rocks, tightly locking all the gravel and loose rock parts, and then turning into a steel barrier, supporting the rock passage that was about to collapse.

Locke and Gabi were able to walk in it.

To achieve this, it is not only because of the excellence of the iron wire grass itself, but also because Locke, under the influence of the deep blue gemstone and the navy blue gemstone, even though it was weakened by the side effects of the scarlet echo potion, still had relatively strong enough mana stability to accurately manipulate the growth direction of these iron wire grasses, forming a wonderful spell model that is currently located thousands of meters underground.

Gabi saw this scene, his eyes flickered, “Senior’s spells are too powerful, they don’t seem like the spells of a second-class wizard apprentice.”

“I often feel an invisible pressure when I am around him, and as time goes by, this pressure increases rather than decreases.”

“Could it be that Senior… No, he’s only a few years old.”

Gabi felt a little sad. If Locke was about to become a first-class wizard apprentice, then compared to him, she was in her thirties and was still at the second-class wizard apprentice stage.

However, the wizarding world is so cruel, and the difference in talent is so huge.

Gabi thought helplessly.

Gabi turned into a black cat and said to Locke, “Senior, it’s getting closer, closer. There are a lot of mice ahead, and there’s a special fragrance.”

Gabi seemed to realize something. “Senior, be careful…”

Locke and Gabi had just walked through a section of “steel passage” supported by wiregrass when they saw groups of rats gathering on the bank next to the underground river in front of them.

Next to the river bank, there is a large and lonely group of green leaves of konjac.

But at this moment, a green shadow flashed in front of the two of them, and at the same time, a green leaf sword slashed towards Locke and Gabi.

The next moment, the green leaves on Locke’s invisible Mandrake vine suddenly grew and automatically transformed into a vine shield, blocking Locke in front of him.

Trick Model: Green Grab!

A vine shield perfectly blocked the opponent’s attack, while Gabi transformed into an owl, soaring through the air, helping Locke discern the attacker’s direction in the darkness. “This is… the attacker, Senior. The attacker isn’t human, but a… plant? An animal? A plant that looks like a human!”

Locke’s mouth curled up slightly. He didn’t expect that his harvest this time was so great. It was another rare plant that was difficult to obtain even with magic stones.

He calmly used his vine shield to block all of the opponent’s leaf sword attacks. “I know, this is a Clivia flower.”

“The Clivia miniata is a rare magical plant that excels at mimicking human form. Its leaves are as hard and sharp as steel, capable of slicing through an enemy’s body. The veins in its leaves are extremely sensitive, allowing it to sense the direction of air flow and launch a counterattack accordingly.”

“So no matter whether the enemy is attacking or defending, Clivia will be like a swordsman, countering their moves.”

“If this magical plant is used well by a wizard apprentice, it can be a powerful weapon in close combat. However, its reproductive ability is very weak. It is rarely seen in the wild.”

It turned out that what attacked Locke and Gabi was an orchid as tall as a human.

This orchid looks extremely like a human warrior.

The leaves are the swords in his hands, the roots are like the warrior’s feet, the orchids are similar to the warrior’s head, and there are even a series of small orchid leaves on the neck, like the jade hanging around the neck of a human warrior.

Locke tested it and found that the Clivia flower was indeed as described in the book.

But how could there be two rare magical plants on this underground riverbank?

These were magical plants that even first-class wizard apprentices were interested in.
