Wizard: I want to be a top student

Outside Marsh Forest City, at the foot of a mountain peak.

The five members of the hunting team spent a lot of effort killing and tracking the crazy demonized beasts, and finally set the target in front of them. After pushing aside the lush thatch, a hidden passage that was more than half a person's height appeared.

This passage should have been dug by some kind of demonized beast, and it has a faint fishy smell.

In the passage, several people could vaguely sense the breath of high-energy particles. Based on their experience, it was not difficult to judge that there were either ruins or abandoned laboratories below.

"Boss Walban, why don't you go down again tomorrow?"

Even for third-class apprentices, the darkness affects their vision somewhat, making it somewhat different from that during the day.

Walban said: "The passage goes deep underground. There is no difference between day and night. Go down."

This is indeed true. Under the leadership of Walban, several people stepped into the passage one after another and walked forward along the passage.

After a while, a stone staircase appeared at the foot. The steps were sloping all the way down to who knows where.

With a wave of his hand, Walban lit up the wall lamps hanging on the side of the mountain wall. This action triggered a certain setting, causing the wall lamps on both sides to light up one after another, all the way down the steps.

"Haha, we are lucky."

"In terms of tracking, our hunting team is the professional one. Those in the enchanting team have been messing around so far."

The passage they just took was diagonally inserted from the left side of the mountain wall. The passage was an animal path. The steps under their feet must have been created by intelligent creatures, and more likely by humans. Then there should be an abandoned laboratory below.

Under the green light of the lights, many messy paw prints can be seen on the steps.

A few people were not afraid and continued to move forward on the steps.

"Zhizhi."

"What a fat rat."

Not far ahead, a fat mouse came out and landed on the steps in front. Its body was half a meter long, and its red eyes were particularly conspicuous. Cook, among the others, took action first, and a fireball the size of a thumb flew into the air. go out.

Rats are always timid creatures. After discovering a few people in ignorance, they were about to escape, but were hit by a small fireball.

Although Cook's fireball was small, its power was unmatched by ordinary fireballs. The fat rat was directly burned with a black hole, piercing through the entire body, causing the fat rat to die on the spot.

"Cook, has your secondary fireball technique been optimized again?"

"A small change is not worth mentioning."

"I really don't know what you think. Others are pursuing the bigger the better the fireball, but yours is getting smaller and smaller."

"You don't understand, this kind of spell consumes less and is durable and long-lasting."

In the third-level apprenticeship stage, apprentices will spend a lot of energy on optimizing spells. The same basic spell can develop a variety of effects due to everyone's different ideas.

Several people came closer and found a small hole on the side of the steps, and the mouse came out of it.

After experiencing this small episode, Walban and the others continued walking down.

at the same time.

In the mouse hole, a lean mouse was crawling out quickly, moving up the winding passage, and finally climbed out of the mountain and came to the ground. It walked through the dense thatch and appeared in front of a female apprentice.

"Zhizhizhi——"

"Okay, after searching for so long, they finally found the right place, hahaha."

"Give me the order to cut off their escape route first, and then we can have some fun with them."

After hearing Skinny Rat's report, the female apprentice Melinda's face showed joy. It was worth their efforts to set up this trap. Once they got into the trap, it was not that easy to get out.

The thin rat seemed to understand and returned along the original path.

After a while, the thin rat led many of its kind to appear in another passage, which was the passage where Walban and others went deep underground. The demonized rats dug frantically along the passage, digging out the reserved nodes.

"Boom."

The huge collapse sound spread far away and reached the apprentice's ears along the steps on the other side.

"What's the sound?" Cook's face changed slightly when he heard the sound coming from behind.

"It should be that the previous passage collapsed." Walban's face turned a little dark. Someone must be plotting against them behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, there was someone behind the Swamp Forest City incident.

In addition to the sound of collapse, there were dense rustling sounds all around, and something was surrounding them.

There are two roads in front of them: one is to go back, they walked for a long time, the distance is not short; the other is to continue deeper, the abandoned laboratory is not far away.

Creatures making rustling sounds poked their heads out. There were demonized rats and demonic snakes, falling down the steps. They were both in front and behind them, and their number was increasing.

"Damn it, I fell into the enemy's trick."

At this time, everyone woke up, their faces were ugly but not panicked.

In this dilemma, everyone looked at Walban, hoping that he would come up with an idea.

"Keep going down."

Comparing the situations on both sides, you don't need to think about it later to know that it is not easy to get out of the ground smoothly, so Walban chose to go deep into the laboratory.

‘Thunder Cloud Leap’

‘Lianzhu Fireball’

There were enemies at both the front and rear. One, Walban and Cook, faced the enemy's rear, while the other suppressed the front.

In an instant, thick dark clouds appeared on the steps behind, and thunder roamed above the clouds. The thunder turned into a scythe that harvested the lives of wild beasts. It would kill anyone who touched it, and screams could be heard.

There were many small fireballs in an orderly manner in front of them, which also turned into step sweepers. Both the demonized rats and demonized snakes could not resist the sharpness of the small fireballs and were killed by the small fireballs.

In this way, the apprentices attacked in batches and fought their way to the laboratory.

A layer of protective array blocked the way.

The five people took the time to attack together, and the protective membrane produced large ripples, but it returned to calm in the blink of an eye.

The wizard's laboratory is usually protected by a rune magic array, which is strong or weak. The one in front of them is undoubtedly a tough guy.

Cook asked anxiously: "What should we do? With our strength, it is difficult to break this protective rune array in a short time."

Along the way, several people consumed a lot of mental strength and mana. The demonized beasts behind them were still chasing them. Several people had killed a group of them, but the number of demonized rats and demonized snakes was clearly not reduced.

The bloody smell filled the passage, stimulating the demonized beasts to become more bloodthirsty and launch an endless attack on the apprentices.

Under the orderly obstruction of the apprentices, the demonized beasts could not get close to them for the time being.

However, once their spiritual power and mana are exhausted, it would be wishful thinking to maintain the current situation.

"I have a way."

Walban took out a small triangular cone with various runes on all four sides of the cone. This is a special demonized item.

"Breaking array cone, you still have such a good thing."

Seeing the thing in his hand, Cook's eyes sparkled.

No wonder he was so happy. The Breaking Array Cone is a well-known demonized item, which is specially used to break the protective witch array, but the number is extremely rare and hard to find. I didn't expect Walban to have one.

Walban immediately held the Breaking Array Cone and stabbed it into the protective membrane. The protective membrane once again showed ripples like ripples, and complex lines appeared.

The lines on the Breaking Array Cone were also activated, spreading from the triangular cone and falling on the protective membrane. The lines touched each other and began to collide slightly, causing more ripples on the protective membrane.

Behind them, the demonized beast showed its fearless side, and they had to increase their attack power, using offense instead of defense to protect their own safety.
