Chapter 285 The Treasure House of the Forbidden Forest
An ominous mandrake vine extended from under the sleeve of Locke’s right hand wizard robe and grabbed a gray sloth skink lying on the trunk of a steel needle cedar tree.
Locke used magic vines to squeeze the belly of this kind of stone lizard. Suddenly, this kind of stone lizard raised its head and let out a strange cry. The cry released invisible sound waves. All the tongue coatings of the frogs who heard this special sound wave began to tremble inexplicably, and their movement speed became extremely slow.
Locke glanced at the other five first-class wizard apprentices, and then took the lead and walked through the frog tongue jungle.
Locke said: "Frog tongue coating can be used to make a variety of magic potions. Among them, the main material of the frog transformation potion is frog tongue coating. In addition, the juice of this magic plant is also one of the common materials for making magical items. If you need it, you can collect some."
Locke used three magic vines to cut off some frog tongue coating that was slowed down by the sound of the sloth stone lizard, and put it into his astral ring.
"Thank you, senior." Sebastian squatted down with a smile, took out a rune knife from his pocket, carefully selected the frog's tongue coating, which was of relatively good quality, picked it off, and put it into his small cloth bag.
The small cloth bag is a medium-quality magical item with a space expansion spell inside it. The internal space is approximately equivalent to a carriage carriage.
Not everyone can afford an astral ring.
The other four first-class wizard apprentices also harvested the frog tongue coating and began to thank Locke.
In the secret area of the Forbidden Forest, there are special resources everywhere that are not available in the outside world.
Just harvesting the complex magic resources inside is a huge harvest.
After a while, a few people went deep into the Forbidden Forest, and various Forbidden Forest-type magic plants and Forbidden Forest-type magical creatures that were difficult to see in the outside world appeared in front of everyone.
Some trees are extremely tall, often over a hundred meters tall. They walk under these trees, like ants, as small as incomparable.
There are some magic flowers with complex and bright colors, but they are all highly poisonous, and the poison of each flower of different colors is different. Many of the magicians present were assistants, so no one dared to touch the unknown flowers in the Forbidden Forest.
No matter how beautiful it is.
Along the way, Locke and others encountered many strange phenomena while still in the Forbidden Forest.
For example, there is a forbidden forest ground. As long as you step on it, the ground not far away will make a loud sound and form a deep pit similar to their footprints, but this pit is usually dozens of times the area of their footprints.
There are many such incomprehensible strange phenomena in the Forbidden Forest.
Sebastian said to Nickerson, a first-class wizard apprentice who was over a hundred years old and was traveling with them: "Ah, I remember that special footprint phenomenon, which is the main research field of one of my classmates recently."
"Mainly because his wizard mentor's research direction is also in this direction, so he can only be forced to study the special footprint phenomenon for a long time, because this is the order of his wizard mentor."
Nixen grimaced and smiled bitterly. "There is no way. Alas, this kind of field itself is difficult to produce results. Official wizards may not be able to study it. Your friend is really unlucky."
Nickerson looked at Locke with respect and said: "It would be great if we could follow our senior and enter the Forbidden Forest this time to obtain some magic resources that will be useful to us in the future."
"It all depends on Senior Augustine."
Locke glanced at Nickerson, who seemed to be one of the seventy-two local wizard families in Lilith Lodge and the head of the Nickerson family.
These local wizarding families, although they are the descendants of the original founding members of Lilith's hut, have unfortunately declined terribly.
The quality of their first-class wizard apprentices is generally low.
In front of them, in a deep forest path, a huge ant as big as a house suddenly jumped out. The ant was covered in steel armor with some bright red magic patterns on its body.
It seemed to have come out of the ground, and all the magical creatures hiding nearby fled away one by one.
Loke frowned. "It's an army ant. This kind of ant is not a solitary traveler. They must move in groups."
"Be careful."
"But the mouthparts of army ants are the main material for making high-level magic items, malicious scimitars. You can hunt some back, which is a relatively big harvest."
Nickerson immediately released a defensive magic, driving the gear iron thorns he carried. The gears and iron thorns automatically meshed and turned into a piece of armor, covering his body and blocking the army ants rushing toward him.
The huge and terrifying mouthparts of the army ant bit him like a pair of scissors. The mouthparts violently rubbed against the geared iron thorns, and sparks appeared.
The army ant immediately twisted its body, raised its buttocks, exposed the poisonous needle behind its buttocks, pierced it towards Nickerson, and injected the acid-like spell in the poisonous needle into the gear iron thorns on Nickerson's body.
Fortunately, the Gear Iron Thorn is an apprentice-level magic plant that has been tempered for thousands of times. Therefore, although a series of magic sparks appeared, and even parts of the Gear Iron Thorn shrank and made a violent sound, it was not destroyed after all.
On the contrary, the army ant was injured by the gear iron thorns, and its mouthparts were covered with wounds from the thorns on the surface of the gear iron thorns.
This army ant therefore made a "hissing" sound similar to that caused by violent friction.
Nixon's face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that he, who was not very experienced in combat, was very frightened at this moment.
But soon there was a series of vibrations on the ground again, and army ants emerged from the ground one after another, leaving deep pits one after another.
Hundreds of army ants actually emerged from the ground. Their power was extremely terrifying, as if a series of small earthquakes had occurred on the ground.
Nixen's face turned pale, "How come there are so many army ants? Even in the Forbidden Forest, it is impossible for there to be so many army ants together..."
Sebastian and the others were extremely nervous and looked around, but they felt the magical pressure of several unfamiliar mana approaching quickly from a distance.
Several wizards wearing red wizard robes approached quickly. After seeing Locke, they were stunned for a moment, as if they did not expect to bump into the first-class wizard apprentice from Lilith's cabin here.
Locke saw from their wizard robes their status as first-class wizard apprentices of the Secret Fire Academy. The leader even wore the identity badge of the wizard seed, which represented that the other party was the wizard seed heading towards the incinerator of this generation of Secret Fire Academy.
Wayne Acosta, the wizard seed of the Secret Fire Yard, immediately frowned when he saw the people in Lilith's cabin.
Because this part of the forbidden forest area technically belongs to Lilith's cabin, and now they have broken into someone else's forbidden forest area, so he simply takes the lead. "Those wizards in Lilith's cabin in front, what's going on?"
"These army ants are our target and are being driven in the direction of the predetermined magic trap. Please get out of the way and stay out of the way."
