Chapter 47

Jie Ming continued to go deep along the wilderness covered by red mineral rocks.

He still focused his main energy on searching for those rare and unique material samples and did not pay more attention to those natives.

Just when Jie Ming was immersed in the treasure hunt, the battlefields all over the Greyrock Realm suddenly became cruel.

"Quick! There is a high-point card here!" A young apprentice excitedly pointed to the golden light flashing on the dead tree in front.

This team of seven people approached cautiously.

As those ownerless point cards were cleared, the remaining point cards were basically placed next to those dangerous magic beasts.

But such point cards have higher values, which also represents greater benefits.

Under the trend of greater benefits, the originally solitary apprentices gradually began to form teams with each other, and those apprentices who had already formed teams constantly collected manpower to expand the team.

These seven people were originally considered "little geniuses" with good strength in the academy, and after a few days of running-in, their cooperation became better and better.

However, the attack did not come from magic beasts.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of arrows coated with fluorescent poison pierced the air, shooting from all directions with sharp whistling sounds.

The arrows were not ordinary metal, but a kind of bone quality, attached with weak energy fluctuations visible to the naked eye.

"Scatter! There is an ambush!" The captain roared and quickly propped up an energy shield.

But several apprentices still couldn't react in time and were shot by poison arrows.

Their movements instantly stiffened, their faces turned blue, and strange totem patterns appeared on their bodies.

"Damn! It's the natives!"

From the bushes and rock crevices, dozens of native warriors wearing armor and holding metal spears rushed out.

Their bodies instantly expanded by a circle, muscles bulged, their speed was astonishingly fast, and their eyes burned with the fire of revenge.

"Attack!"

The apprentices reacted quickly, and at the moment of reaction, they also released fireballs and ice cones to counterattack.

But the natives did not love to fight; they rushed like a wolf pack, sprinted quickly, threw spears, and then immediately scattered, using complex terrain to deal with the apprentices.

"Captain, my... my teleportation rune is malfunctioning!" An apprentice who was poisoned shouted in horror; the light of the rune in his hand was dim and could not be activated at all.

"My flight spell can't be activated either! They actually have air-prohibition ability!"

Panic broke out instantly.

Without the hole cards they relied on to escape, the apprentices were like trapped beasts in a cage, and under the siege of the natives, they were consumed little by little.

Metal spears tore through shields, poison arrows penetrated magic power, and the screams one after another announced the collapse of the apprentices.

On the other side.

A four-person exploration team of apprentices was blocked at the bottom of the valley by more than a dozen native "knights" wearing heavy armor and holding battle axes when they went deep into a canyon soaked in elemental power.

"Their armor can actually resist our spells!" An apprentice exclaimed; the fireball he released hit the knight, only splashing a string of sparks, and even charred marks were not left.

"Damn! There are natives in this world!" Another apprentice realized something was wrong.

The knights didn't talk nonsense and charged directly.

The earth under their feet made a muffled sound under the power, and every jump carried the momentum of thunder.

Bang!

A water-element shield was smashed to pieces by a heavy axe, and the apprentice behind the shield vomited blood, and his body flew out.

"Retreat! Rush up!" The captain roared while activating the flight spell.

However, his body only pulled up a few meters before being suppressed by an invisible force, unable to escape the bottom of the valley at all!

Someone tried to activate the ring, but found it had no effect at all.

"Space... is locked?!" The apprentices were completely stunned.

The magic power of the apprentices consumed rapidly, and the speed of replenishing potions could not keep up with the speed of injury.

Panic and despair spread rapidly in the bloody canyon.

Jie Ming is currently in the depths of a strange swamp.

The peculiar fungus that can absorb elemental energy hidden under the mud here is an excellent material for research, making him unable to help but stay here for a long time.

Suddenly, a commotion came from the depths of the mud.

Four "hunters" holding bows and arrows and two "knights" in armor jumped out of the silt, holding spears, pointing directly at Jie Ming.

They were clearly ambushing here, waiting for passing prey.

"Eh?"

Jie Ming stood in place with a curious face, still holding the mushroom he had just picked, looking like he was stunned by the sudden attack.

A knight roared, and the spear in his hand stabbed directly at Jie Ming's face with a whistling sound.

Buzz!

A solid earth-yellow shield instantly condensed on his body surface.

Clang!

The spear hit the shield, making a crisp sound of metal clashing, but the shield remained motionless, and the counter-shock force even made the knight's body tremble violently.

Another knight swung a giant axe and swept Jie Ming's waist from the side, also returning without success.

But the real killing move was still behind; four arrows flashing with ghostly light approached his head taking advantage of this opportunity.

Jie Ming's mind moved, and the earth-element shield instantly switched to a transparent wind film.

The power carried by the arrows was cleverly deflected, whistling past Jie Ming's side, failing to cause any harm.

"This... how is this possible?!" The knight's eyes flashed with shock.

Their proud power and reinforced magic weapons actually had no effect on this wizard?!

Jie Ming didn't give them more time to think.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Four fireballs flashing with violent flames instantly locked onto these six natives; in the narrow swamp area, the explosion range of the fireballs completely covered them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent explosions sounded one after another, flames soared into the sky, instantly turning the swamp into a purgatory.

Mud splashed, charred flesh flew.

The natives didn't even have time to scream before they were completely swallowed by the terrifying power of the Talisman Seal Wizarding Tool and turned into flying ash.

Jie Ming walked up and carefully looked for remains in the swamp.

He picked up several metal armor pieces stained with mud, dug out several bone spears that were relatively well preserved, and scanned the energy fluctuations remaining on them with Analysis.

"This pattern... should be a relatively primitive rune, it should be relatively suitable for this world, it is quite reference value..." Jie Ming muttered to himself, completely ignoring the bloody smell permeating the air.

He didn't feel any danger from beginning to end; these natives were as fragile as children in front of him.

"But is the attack frequency of these natives getting more frequent recently? I have encountered three ambushes in the past two days, is it because there is some large gathering point nearby, so I am regarded as a threat?"

Jie Ming felt that the recent ambushes were unusually frequent, and the enemies were more knowledgeable about cooperation than before.

"Search around, if I can meet a gathering point, maybe I can get knowledge related to these primitive runes."

He put away the newly obtained materials and then continued to move toward the depths of the swamp.

The "weakness" of the enemy made Jie Ming completely unaware that a large-scale cleaning against all wizard apprentices was already fully launched outside.
