Chapter 42: Heritage Island
Didi——
"Do you want to spend 2 potential points to try to combine 'Butterfly Dance' and 'Hound Step' to deduce a new martial art?"
The Taotie system can also integrate martial arts? !
Alan was pleasantly surprised.
He would like to give it a try.
Unfortunately, there is only 1 potential point in total now.
I can only wait until I have accumulated enough potential and then try to integrate these two martial arts to see what new things I can come up with.
…
Heritage Island.
The island where the Warlock Academy is located covers an area of more than 20,000 square miles.
In addition to the beaches around the island, most of the island is covered with dense virgin forests.
Including Alan, there are 60 apprentices in total.
Follow Heron and disembark at the port.
Standing on the pier, looking south.
A section of a white tower can be vaguely seen between the mountains and the jungle.
That is the iconic building of the Warlock Academy.
A thousand-foot-tall magic tower stands in the center of the island.
Outside the campus walls, it is surrounded by pristine jungle.
Although you can see the destination.
But getting there is not easy.
Next, Allen and his party had to hike through the jungle.
It took at least a week to reach the location of the Warlock Academy.
This final journey was not easy.
In fact, it is also a test for freshmen by the college.
It's like an entrance test.
After getting off the boat, Helen gave everyone a map.
On the map, draw a thick, zigzag line with a red pen.
Very conspicuous.
This is where the rest of the hike will take us.
"Senior, why don't we walk in a straight line?" Angel raised his hand and asked.
Helen sneered and said sarcastically: "Student Angel, you asked a stupid question full of nerdiness!"
Ingres, ignoring her beauty, refuses to go out with her.
For a succubus, this is a great shame and humiliation!
Helen's self-esteem was hurt and she was feeling resentful, so of course she wouldn't give him a good face.
"Helen, in fact, Angel is not the only one who thinks so. I have the same question."
Alan took over the conversation and came to the rescue of Angel.
After spending more than a month together, he had a good impression of Ingres.
This thin, introverted, and handsome boy has a good character... and it really arouses his desire to protect him.
"Humph! Just pamper him!"
Helen complained sourly and got back to the topic.
"Going in a straight line is indeed the shortest way, but it is also very dangerous!"
"The primitive jungle on the island is infested with poisonous insects and monsters."
"Every monster has its own sphere of influence."
"I circled the monsters' territories on the map using different colored crayons."
“And it’s marked with the danger level.”
"You will find it if you observe carefully."
"The route drawn by the red pen perfectly avoids dangerous areas above level 3."
"With your apprentice-level strength, you should have no problem dealing with ordinary beasts in the Level 1 area."
"It's a bit difficult to deal with dangerous creatures in the Level 2 area, but with me watching over them, there won't be too many casualties."
"As for the Level 3 Danger Zone... Hehe, unless you are tired of living, it's best to avoid it!"
After listening to the senior’s explanation, the rookies were convinced.
The rest of the trip will be entirely arranged by Helen.
First day.
The journey is still in the Level 1 area, and it is as easy as a picnic.
The only trouble along the way was two big mountain cats.
Alan didn't even have a chance to make a move before he was driven away by the apprentice walking in front of him.
He is also happy to be lazy, keep a low profile and keep a low profile.
In the evening, everyone set up camp in a clearing in the woods.
As soon as the bonfire was lit, a group of uninvited guests arrived.
It was a group of noisy little bats.
It's about the size of a moth.
The mouth is pointed like a needle.
It pounces on people, pierces the skin with its mouthparts, and greedily sucks blood.
What’s even more annoying is that the little bat’s mouthparts have barbs!
Once bitten , if you try to pull it out with force, you will tear off a piece of flesh and cause more serious trauma.
"That's a stirge, a blood-sucking monster that's a cross between a bat and an insect."
Helen took the student to a dark place away from the campfire and spoke softly.
"Ordinary bats are very afraid of light and won't go near a campfire."
"Stirge bats are more like moths in this regard."
"I'm sure you all know the story of the moth flying into the flame."
"When camping in the wild, campfires often attract these nasty little monsters."
As he spoke, Herent took out a bottle of and shook it evenly.
"This potion can repel stirges and poisonous insects."
"Spray your face, hands, feet, and any places that are not covered by clothes."
Soon, the spray was passed to Alan.
He sniffed the bottle and smelled the familiar scent of insect repellent.
Magic and alchemy can extract substances similar to cypermethrin and DEET from natural medicinal materials.
After spraying the insect repellent, I was no longer bothered by mosquitoes and bats.
Everyone returned to the campfire, still finding the swarms of flying mosquitoes and bats noisy and annoying.
So Helen cast a spell and summoned more than ten monkeys with wings on their backs.
The flying monkeys swooped down in groups, laughing and hunting the stirges.
Soon, the mosquito bats were killed by their natural enemies.
The flying monkeys caught the stirges and stuffed them into their mouths.
The chewing was so intense that juices ooze out and the scene was bloody.
Helen whistled and waved to the sky.
The flying monkeys received the order and left the camp.
The sounds of playfulness quickly faded away and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest shrouded in darkness.
What Herent just performed seemed to be some kind of summoning magic.
Alan watched from the side and was enlightened again.
the next day.
The apprentice tour group began to venture into the Level 2 danger zone.
morning.
A jungle monitor blocked everyone's way.
Helen was there to support.
The young apprentices each cast spells and surrounded and beat up the giant lizard.
Flames, lightning, ice rays... were flying all over the sky.
Although they are only level 0 spells, they cannot withstand the power of numbers.
In less than two minutes, the unfortunate monitor lizard was surrounded and killed.
Alan played another supporting role and was very happy.
Helen saw that he was deliberately trying to do nothing.
It was not exposed in front of everyone.
But in private, his true intentions are revealed.
"Student Allen, you are so gentle and considerate!"
"Huh? What do you mean?" Alan had a bad feeling.
"You didn't put in any effort during the siege of the jungle monitors."
Helen smiled.
"Others think you are being lazy, but I am the only one who understands your heart."
"I'm just being lazy, don't think too much about it!"
Alan panicked.
"Don't hide it. I know you are deliberately saving your energy."
Helen pretended to be infatuated.
"Because tonight, you're going to spend this precious energy you saved on me... I'm so touched!"
Helen! You are such a jerk... you want to get me for free, right?!
Alan regretted it so much.
Fortunately, there will be a chance to remedy the situation soon.
As the sun was about to set, the tour group passed the edge of the Level 3 danger zone.
While setting up camp, they unfortunately alarmed the local jungle overlord!
