Chapter 101 The Mysterious Statue's Movement

As Richard performed the summoning technique.

I saw that transparent spirits were summoned from the scattered corpses around.

Looking at the many delicious foods, the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Egg instantly became excited. The first one it aimed at was the tall steel fork fishman spirit. It seemed that Richard could see the image of the Soul Devouring Demon Spider salivating in his mind.

As an invisible ripple spread from the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Egg to the surroundings, a majestic suction came from it.

The spirits of ordinary fishmen fell from the air like dumplings and were all sucked into the white eggs.

Among them, the tall steel fork fishman spirit struggled the most violently, and finally barely supported itself from being sucked in. Then, Jenna's spirit also tried its best to resist, and her lifelike little face was full of horror!

But as the suction from the Soul Devouring Demon Spider Egg became stronger and stronger, the spirits of the three double-bladed fishmen could not resist first and were swallowed up one after another.

Then came the spirits of the short girl Brandi and the tall and thin boy Mijat.

Finally, as the spirits of Jenna, the special double-knife fishman and the tall steel-forked fishman were devoured, the Soul Devouring Demon Spider eggs sent out a desire to sleep and evolve.

Richard was overjoyed immediately. As he expected, after the Soul Devouring Demon Spider eggs were full and sleeping this time, they no longer needed to be fed, but could hatch at any time.

It could be a few days later, or a few hours later, but it would never be long.

Speaking of the Soul Devouring Demon Spider, Richard had already searched for relevant content about the blood contract in the library.

At present, according to what is said in the book, before the contract partner is officially hatched, preliminary communication can be carried out at a frequency of one drop of essence blood per month.

Now, Richard has initially reached a certain degree of intimacy with the Soul Devouring Demon Spider. As long as Richard signs the blood oath contract immediately after the Soul Devouring Demon Spider is officially hatched, it will be fine.

Of course, the blood oath contract is not the highest level of contract.

The highest level of contract is the life contract, which roughly states that if one of the two parties to the contract dies, the other party will also perish directly. If there is any secret technique, at least the life span will be greatly reduced, so wizards rarely use this kind of contract.

Because after being promoted to a formal wizard, even if it is only a first-level wizard, they will have a life span of two or three hundred years. However, if their contracted creatures are accidentally killed by the enemy in a battle, their life span will be greatly reduced or they will die directly, which is completely unacceptable to formal wizards.

Therefore, the next-level blood oath contract has become the most commonly used contract. It is nothing more than feeding some blood essence to their contracted creatures every once in a while to achieve the purpose of controlling the contracted creatures.

After collecting the soul-eating spider eggs, Richard and the other two left this place of trouble. According to the feedback from Ophelia's plant perception just now, they continued to move forward for several miles along the underground river shoal. There was a fork that extended directly upwards, which should lead directly to the surface. This was nearly twice as fast as their original plan to return.

Immediately, the three decided to take the fastest route back to the school's residence. Considering that Andrea had almost lost her fighting power, Richard did not hide her strength this time. He summoned two sword and shield skeletons to guard her.

Although the harvest was small this time, the biggest harvest was knowledge, such as Jenna's experimental manuscript, the old parchment scroll - the ritual of transformation of the walking corpse, and the rare zero-level witchcraft undead vision scroll.

In the wizard world, advanced knowledge is equivalent to magic stones at any time, and sometimes, advanced knowledge is even more useful than magic stones.

So, when Richard thought of this, he did not feel that he had lost.

And Jenna's mutant stitching monster production skills can be said to be exclusive knowledge.

You know, generally after being promoted to a formal wizard, you have the spare energy to study or optimize the witchcraft and zero-level witchcraft you have mastered, but it also takes a lot of time to adjust the witchcraft model. If it involves too much change, even the rune structure needs to be adjusted. In this case, it is more difficult.

However, once it succeeds, it can be sold as exclusive knowledge and make a lot of money.

Since the Skeleton Warrior was severely injured in the battle with the Murloc, it would take a day of recuperation in the Undead Realm before it could fully recover. Richard did not dare to summon the Sword and Shield Skeleton that was marked with the tracking mark again.

With two Sword and Shield Skeletons guarding in front and behind, the three of them had a smooth journey.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed straight to the Sword and Shield Skeleton guarding in front.

"It's a petrified lizard!" Andrea shouted. Although his combat power was greatly damaged, the eyesight of an intermediate knight was still there.

"No, it's an iron-jawed lizard!" Richard said calmly. As a top archer, Richard's eyesight was actually slightly better than Andrea's. He had clearly seen the external outline and body features of the attacker.

Because the petrified lizard did not have such a wide jaw and shiny black skin.

The Iron Jaw Lizard opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp steel teeth instantly bit off the skeleton soldier's thigh bone, and put it in its mouth to chew it. It made a crisp sound like a normal person biting cartilage, and white bone fragments fell down from both sides of the Iron Jaw Lizard.

This scene shocked Richard.

He knew how hard the bones of the Sword and Shield Skeletons under his command were, but even so, they were still bitten off by the Iron Jaw Lizard in one bite, which showed that its bite force was strong, and it was worthy of the name of Iron Jaw Lizard.

Recalling the record of the crystal, the iron-jawed lizard has the physical strength of a great knight. It seems to be true that the iron-jawed lizard can split gold and stone with one iron-jawed lizard.

Richard's reaction was also very quick. He immediately took out four or five tubes of Fire Dance Star from his arms and counterattacked in an instant.

In the violent explosion, Richard and others retreated rapidly. Ophelia also began to quickly give birth to the bloodthirsty magic vine and her plant team. Richard immediately applied dark element shield and bone armor to himself.

The bite force of the iron-jawed lizard in front of him was so amazing that a dark element shield might not be enough.

A few seconds later, a black shadow actually rushed out from the center of the explosion.

The three of them looked closely and were shocked in an instant!

Such a violent explosion did not cause much damage to the iron-jawed lizard. Although some of its epidermis was burned, the overall injury was obviously lighter.

"The explosion just now was so severe that even the petrified lizard was seriously injured. What kind of defense ability is this? It's too amazing!" Andrea, who was injured on the side, said in surprise.

"This is the terrifying part of the iron-jawed lizard. Its witchcraft resistance is too strong. The ordinary first and second level wizard apprentices are completely helpless when they encounter it, and they can't break its surface defense at all." Ophelia said solemnly.

Compared with the petrified lizard, the iron-jawed lizard in front of them has no innate witchcraft, but the super witchcraft resistance of its skin gives Richard and the other two a headache.

"However, as long as it can cause damage, it will die!" After saying that, Richard took out a handful of Fire Dance Stars from his arms, mixed with more than ten bags of Silver Moon Dust, and threw it directly at the rushing iron-jawed lizard.

Maybe Richard didn't bring many other things, but he had a lot of alchemical bombs.

Looking at the more than ten red test tubes flying at once, the iron-jawed lizard, who had just suffered, was also stunned.

With the first sound of glass shattering, a burst of explosions like firecrackers suddenly rang out in the shallows.

The high-frequency continuous explosions of the alchemical bombs made the Iron Jaw Lizard, a monster with extremely high resistance to witchcraft, a little overwhelmed. It felt dizzy and had stars in its eyes.

Suddenly, it felt a sharp pain in its neck. It opened its eyes and saw a sword-shield skeleton inserting an iron sword from its lower jaw, directly piercing its neck and scratching it fiercely. In an instant, dark red blood splashed like a burst water pipe.

Immediately, the Iron Jaw Lizard felt its strength was draining away, and it tried to turn its head and bite the sword-shield skeleton in half with all its strength.

However, due to the serious injury, its movements became slow, or it might be because the opponent moved too quickly, the sword-shield skeleton dodged immediately.

Before the Iron Jaw Lizard turned around and ran away, the next second, the sword-shield skeleton rushed up again and directly stabbed the iron sword into its eye socket.

This time, it could no longer fight back!

Iron Jaw Lizard, dead!

[Found that it can absorb energy, yes/no to absorb? 】

"Yes!"

[5914 energy points were obtained. 】

Richard's face was delighted. It was good. It had been a long time since he had received energy points. This iron-jawed lizard was really timely. It came at the right time. With this energy point, he could quickly learn and improve the zero-level witchcraft undead vision and the ritual of transformation of the walking corpse that he was interested in.

After collecting the raw materials from the iron-jawed lizard, Richard and the other two continued to move forward, but just as they were about to reach the fork in the road ahead.

Richard felt that something in his arms seemed to be heating up slightly. He reached out and touched it, and found that it was the palm-sized three-headed snake statue that looked like a living creature that he had obtained from the tall steel-forked fishman warrior before.

This surprised Richard greatly. After careful observation, he found that a fork in the road ahead was heading deeper into the underground river. The further he moved in this direction, the more intense the heating became.

But if Richard chose to move toward the surface, the heating would become quieter and quieter.

This made Richard think, could it be that the large group of fishmen just now were not moving in this direction for no reason, could it be because of the guidance of this statue?

This made Richard hesitate a little, whether to go deeper into the underground river to investigate or return directly to the surface, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

A shallow beach in the underground river, crisscrossing traces of battles indicated that this was where Richard and the three people of the Ring of North, Jenna, fought.

About an hour after Richard and his friends left, a young man in a gray robe with three plague bugs on his chest arrived here in a dusty state.

This was because the underground river was densely connected with a river network. Although he had clear location information in his mind, it still took him a lot of effort to get there. If it was on the flat surface, he would have arrived an hour earlier.
