Tonight, everyone did not chat around the campfire as usual. They returned to the tent early and kept watch earlier.
The area surveyed today is near the depths of the Phoenix Forest, which is also the most dangerous place.
Although the temporary camp is relatively safe, the monsters found around are more frequent than in the past few days, which makes everyone have to be vigilant.
"I always feel that something is wrong with this experience." Jiang Yinyun, who came back from patrol, sat next to Zhang Chenran with a strange tone.
"Wrong? What do you mean?" Zhang Chenran looked at her puzzledly. Jiang
Yinyun pondered for a while and said:
"I feel that this experience is a bit... too easy. Except for the group of green forest wolves we met before entering the Phoenix Forest, we hardly encountered any monsters that could threaten us."
Those monsters are all in my shadow. It's strange that you can encounter them. Zhang Chenran frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about the problem in response to her words.
The night before the next day's departure, he would play the role of "nanny" in advance to clean up the big monsters in front of the team.
The little demons that the team encountered on the second day all came out from other areas to look for food, and they were not threatening at all to the team of sixteen intermediate mages.
Whether it was the demons that came here, or the demons that focused on spiritual power in Phoenix Forest, they were all new species to him.
He had almost collected all the slave-level undead and general-level undead in the ancient capital.
What interested him now were the demons with strange methods.
The Soul-Eating Dark Butterfly that was just harvested two days ago had methods similar to mental magic.
Unfortunately, there were too few demon species like this, and they couldn't find any after searching for several days in Phoenix Forest.
"Maybe something happened, and those tribes in the outer forests have moved to the depths." Zhang Chenran explained.
Jiang Yinyun sighed, hoping that it was as he said.
"Don't think about it, this is a good thing for us." Zhang Chenran said as he raised his hand to rub her head.
Jiang Yinyun seemed to be prepared. She shrank her head back and glared at him with her big eyes:
"Do you really think of yourself as an uncle?"
"Old Feng asked me to take care of you." Zhang Chenran pushed the blame to Feng Zhoulong.
"Humph!" Jiang Yinyun snorted in dissatisfaction.
Zhang Chenran shrugged innocently and looked at her.
This girl is outstanding among her peers, and her background is even more terrifying, but her temperament is weak.
However, she will always pursue what she is interested in. Her own strength and fusion magic are good examples.
She is interested in magic and is even more obsessed with fusion magic.
Perhaps it is because Jiang Yinyun is very similar to himself that Zhang Chenran gets along with her like this.
Since he came into contact with magic, he has not stopped.
And he is also very interested in fusion magic beyond all magic knowledge, and now he has mastered it
...
Late at night.
Zhang Chenran still slipped out of the camp as usual.
But this time he went to the depths of the Phoenix Forest, where there are commander-level demons!
Following the guidance of the Soul Devouring Dark Butterfly, Zhang Chenran lurked in the darkness.
Passing through the forest, a waterfall came into view.
The waterfall seemed to be covered with a layer of dreamy phantom, which looked like a mirage.
"Is the special mind stone you sensed before here?" Zhang Chenran pointed to the clear spring below the waterfall and looked at the Soul Devouring Dark Butterfly on his shoulder.
"Ying!" The Soul Devouring Dark Butterfly made a pleasant sound to convey information to him.
"Not in the lake, but behind the waterfall?" Zhang Chenran looked at the mirage-like waterfall.
The dreamy phantom outside the waterfall should be a scene caused by the influence of mind power.
If the mind stone is behind the waterfall, then wouldn't he have to dig a passage?
Digging a passage The shadow behind Zhang Chenran expanded in all directions.
Three dark-patterned giant demon rats and a dozen giant-eyed fishy rats crawled out of the shadow. "Oh!!!!!!!"
This group of rat creatures let out a chilling roar, as if announcing to nearby creatures that they would occupy this place with the king!
Zhang Chenran didn't think twice and kicked the fat body of the leading dark-marked giant demon rat.
"Shut up! Can you beat the commander-level ones?" Zhang Chenran said angrily.
Suddenly, the rat roars stopped instantly.
This group of rat creatures had something to rely on, so they pretended to be powerful, and even the way they appeared became high-profile.
The big eyes of the kicked dark-marked giant demon rat were full of grievances.
"Go, take the rats to dig a passage from here to the rock behind the waterfall!" Zhang Chenran ordered.
The three dark-marked giant demon rats took the brunt of it and began to dig the wall and dig the passage with their younger brothers behind them.
The giant-eyed fishy rats are experts in digging passages. When the disaster in Bo City occurred, they dug the passage to let the demons pour into the city.
Under the leadership of the general-level dark-marked giant demon rats, more than a dozen giant-eyed fishy rats dug a five-meter-wide passage in just a few minutes.
Suddenly, stronger telekinesis than the normal area of Phoenix Forest surged out of the tunnel.
Zhang Chenran's figure turned into a dark spot, and he rushed into the tunnel impatiently.
Pieces of silver and transparent stones were inlaid in different corners of the tunnel.
The telekinesis stones dug up on the way were stuffed into the mouth of one of the giant-eyed fishy rats, and the giant-eyed fishy rat opened its mouth and spit out dozens of telekinesis stones.
Zhang Chenran looked at it with some disdain, and then took a telekinesis stone from the top of the tunnel at random.
He could sense the mental power contained in this special telekinesis stone.
However, in addition to the mental power, there were also two different auras, the two auras were water element and earth element.
Strictly speaking, these special stones cannot be called telekinesis stones.
They are affected by the surroundings and can preserve the elemental energy and telekinesis of the surroundings.
Among them, the energy of water and earth elements is relatively high, but the telekinesis contained is very rare.
Although the quality is not good, they are in large quantities!
If all the telekinesis contained in all the special stones in this tunnel is absorbed, my own mental power will definitely be greatly improved!
The dark-patterned blood demon rats and giant-eyed fishy rats were taken back into the shadows, and they were replaced by the skeleton army.
The skeletons that crawled out of the shadows looked left and right, as if looking for where the enemy was.
They had lost their desire for food after becoming shadow skeletons, and were replaced by an indelible will to fight!
"Dig out all these stones and put them back into the shadows." Zhang Chenran gave an order, extinguishing their will to fight.
After receiving the order, the shadow skeleton army first looked at their companions, and then at their own black pointed finger bones.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The sound of bones hitting the wall echoed in the tunnel. It took
hundreds of skeletons nearly half an hour to dig out all these special stones containing energy.
Zhang Chenran sensed the special stones in the shadows and was quite satisfied.
It's good to have a shadow army, and you don't have to do all the dirty work yourself.
"Ying!" The soul-devouring dark butterfly on the shoulder made a pleasant sound.
Zhang Chenran looked at it in confusion at first, and was stunned after interpreting the information in his mind:
"When you discovered the special energy in this area, you also discovered other creatures. Were you driven away by them?"
