The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 120: The mutation

Just as Leon was about to walk out, he felt his hand being held by Visenna.

"What's wrong?" he turned around and asked.

Visenna looked puzzled and was about to say something, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she was stunned.

"What is this?"

In front of them was a pool of water that was glowing green and filled with a large amount of chaotic magical power. White bones could be seen everywhere in the pool, including those of deer, wolves, and other wild animals.

Look at the scale, there are hundreds of them!

The green light made the place look eerie.

And in the center of the pool, there stands a green heritage stone tablet surrounded by vine roots!

This stone tablet was exactly the same as the one he had seen in Dan Rowan, except that the green light on it was much dimmer.

This place has a large space, and you can see the arched dome above and the round stone columns in the distance.

Not only that, there were several tumor-like plant tubers on the dome, with hundreds of finger-thick roots hanging down and falling into the pool.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is already a laboratory inside the remaining half of the Styga Castle which is relatively intact.

Moreover, according to Visenna, this place was once one of the main gathering places for wizards, and this inheritance stone tablet might have been collected by the wizards of Styga for research.

However, with the attack on Styga Castle, the wizards here died, the castle collapsed, and the stone tablet was buried under the ruins.

"Don't you recognize this?" Leon turned to look at Visenna in confusion.

Although she is a druid, she is also a wizard. How could she not recognize the inheritance tablet?

Stregobor knew them all.

"No, I've never seen this, and these magic potions in front of me." Visenna shook her head.

However, compared to these things in front of her, her eyes quickly fell on the group of mutant rats in front of her.

As Leon and his companions walked to the entrance of the cave, a large number of mutant rats roared at them with their mouths wide open.

squeak-

Accompanied by the sharp cries of the mutant rats, the rat swarm launched another attack.

Leon protected Visenna and retreated back into the passage. The space ahead was too large, and facing hundreds of mutant rats, he was not sure he would not get hurt.

But it's much easier in the passage.

After they retreated into the passage, the rats rushed out again.

Lyon used the same trick again, placing the Aden Seal slightly behind the cave entrance, and then waited until the number of mutant rats reached a certain level before attacking with the Igni Seal.

Rather than killing all the rats, Leon wanted to drive them away and let them escape through other holes.

But Visenna would definitely not agree, after all, her goal is to deal with the mutant creatures here.

However, what puzzled Leon was why he didn't see any other mutant creatures except the mutant rats?

Could it be that this place has become a nest of mutant rats?

"Visenna, if you want to kill these mutant rats, you'd better think of a way. They may escape from other caves!" Leon shouted to Visenna behind him while killing the mutant rats.

"No... they won't run away!" Visenna's voice trembled a little, "Lyon, I think we are in trouble!"

"What?" Leon didn't quite understand.

Trouble? Although these rats are more powerful than ordinary rats, if he sticks to this place, it shouldn't be a problem.

rumble--

However, just as he had this thought, he felt the ground shaking, and then the sound of rocks collapsing came from behind him.

"What happened? Is your magic ineffective?" Leon exclaimed.

He gritted his teeth, cast an Alder Seal in front of him, knocking the rushing rat away, then grabbed Visenna's hand and rushed into the laboratory.

rumble--

The two men rushed out of the passage built by vines in a panic and entered the laboratory.

As the two rushed into the laboratory, Leon knew what was going on before Visenna could answer.

The vines hanging down inside actually came alive and shot towards them like snakes hanging from the dome!

"Get down!" Leon yelled.

Then he let go of Visenna's hand and made the Quinn Seal in the direction where the vines were coming from!

In an instant, a transparent hemispherical shield was formed, just wrapping him and Visenna.

shhhhh--

The next moment, dozens of vines as thick as his arms shot out, hit Quinn's seal, and then were immediately bounced away!

With just this one strike, Leon felt dizzy and he almost couldn't maintain the Quin Seal!

His face turned ugly. As a protective seal driven directly by mental power, the stronger the attack, the shorter the time he can maintain!

He estimated that if these damn vines came four more times, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

If you try to maintain it by force, you will definitely faint!

However, the above is still an ideal state. In addition to the vines, there are hundreds of mutant rats!

These rats swarmed in and were blocked outside by Quen's Seal. Now they have covered the entire surface of the shield!

"Think of a solution quickly!" Lyon shouted hurriedly.

He now understood that the most dangerous things here were the vines that would actively attack.

The reason why these vines, which should have been lying quietly, became aggressive probably has little to do with the inheritance stone tablet.

The most terrible thing is that pool of green magic potion!

It must be that these vine roots hung down, were contaminated by the magic potion, and then over the years produced unexpected mutations.

I'm afraid that most of the owners of the skeletons in the pool have become nutrients for these vines.

But what confused him was why these damn mutant rats didn't become food for the vines?

Are vines also picky eaters?

However, he didn't have time to think about it.

boom--

The second round of vine attacks came, and Leon endured it with almost his teeth broken.

But now, his mental state is already very bad, and if it happens again, he won’t be able to bear it!

"Ashara..." Visenna chanted the spell and started casting without Leon reminding her.

The next moment, Visenna stood up and waved her arms around.

"Remove the seal!" Visenna shouted.

Leon lifted the Quinn seal immediately without any hesitation.

The mutant rat screamed and pounced towards them, but the next moment, a powerful repulsive force burst out from Visenna's hands.

call--

In an instant, both the mutant rat and the vines that attacked again were pushed away by this powerful repulsive force.

Many mice fell to their deaths on the stone wall, and others flew far away and fell into the magic potion.

The vines exploded directly, flying everywhere like broken ropes.

This is the power of a wizard!

This is much more powerful than his Alder Seal!

The witcher's sigil is just a trick in front of the wizard's magic, even though the power of his sigil has been increased a lot.

"Pour this into the pool, go!" Visenna said hurriedly, handing Leon a small bottle.

"What are you going to do?" Leon took over and asked. He saw the rats rushing up again, and not only that, but there were also vines.

"Leave me alone! Go!" Visenna shouted.

Leon noticed that her face looked strange. It must be because of the magic she cast outside before, plus the magic she cast just now.

After all, using magic to grow plants and create a hundred-meter-long passage would consume a lot of energy even if she drank some potions.

Not to mention what happened just now. Moreover, based on his observation, Visenna is not a high-level wizard, and even whether she is a mid-level wizard remains to be verified.

After all, she is primarily a druid!

But now, he can only trust Visenna.

Leon took the bottle and rushed towards the pool ten meters away.
