Chapter 0122 Dark Tide

The Alice incident was quelled in the shortest possible time.

Even before most of the tower apprentices figured out the whole story, the incident passed without a sound. Not to mention the Anderson wizard who rarely showed up before the apprentices, even the evil insect Entik who watched the whole process became silent and quiet.

Except for Mary who was not surprised at all by Grimm's performance, the other two were extremely surprised. Especially Entik, he even had trouble sleeping and eating.

Although Grimm had never publicly expressed hostility towards him, as a blood apprentice with abnormal development, giving priority to all potential enemies and striving to create a dominant aggressive position in his circle of life were the personal principles that Entik had always followed.

In the past, he had to maintain a relative balance with the other two due to the limitation of his personal strength. However, the breakthrough of this trial mission made his nature unable to be suppressed any longer, and he came out early to "subdue" the madwoman and Hawkeye.

If he hadn't witnessed the fight of that weird boy, he might still think that the balance of victory was more inclined to his side. That Mary, except for running faster, had no attack or defense, and could never be his opponent. And how much of a wave could a mere senior apprentice like Grimm make?

But the battle between Alice and Grimm in the birdcage deeply touched Entik.

From that day on, he kept asking himself, if it was himself who was fighting with Grimm in the birdcage, would he be able to break through the defense of the group of elemental puppets and attack Grimm? And the answer was obviously something he didn't want to hear.

From that day on, he became silent!

…………

In the dim secret room.

Entik sat silently in the dark corner in a black robe, thinking silently.

The entire secret room only had a magic torch lit on the far wall. The dim and jumping light not only failed to illuminate this space, but made it even more gloomy and terrifying.

There was no furniture in the secret room, not even the common tables, chairs, and benches. Even Entik sat cross-legged on the cold floor. Behind him, in the dark corner where the light could not reach, a mysterious cocoon that was constantly swelling was hanging there.

Rather than a secret room, this place was more like a nest of insects.

Right beside Entik, countless black beetles were surging on the floor like a tide. They ran east and west, and the sound of their limbs rubbing against the floor was endless.

As if affected by these beetles, Entik's body under the black robe became undulating, as if there were thousands of beetles inside who wanted to rush out and blend with their peers outside. Just when these black beetles were making a lot of noise, Entik finally raised his head, and two groups of dark green fireflies lit up under the shadow of his hood.

A sharp insect hissing sounded in the secret room.

Entik opened his mouth wide, and a strange insect head poked out from his overlapping lips. The sound of insect hissing just now came from its mouth.

Hearing this sound, the originally agitated insect tide became stable again. Those black beetles gathered around Entik, like subjects worshipping their monarch, crawling quietly, waiting for the master's order.

Entik picked up a black beetle and threw it into his mouth. It made a crisp sound of biting, and the smelly green insect juice overflowed from the open lips. The pungent smell made the air in the secret room even more turbid.

"Is this the path you chose for yourself? It's really strange!" An old voice suddenly sounded in the secret room.

"Lord Anderson, you are finally here!" Entik raised his head gently, and did not seem to be surprised by the sudden appearance of this voice.

"You knew I was coming?" The old voice was a little surprised. It was the voice of Anderson, the owner of the Swamp Tower.

"Of course! As long as you are still the owner of the tower, you will contact me sooner or later!"

"Then you should have guessed the purpose of my coming, right?"

"You want me to help you deal with that Grimm!"

"Humph, smart boy, you guessed right! I really need you to come out and kill that hateful boy. I believe this is what you are very happy to do!"

"Then respected Lord Anderson, can I ask, do you need help from others to kill a senior apprentice? Will you bring you unbearable consequences if you kill him?" The evil insect Entik is obviously not a fool. He is unwilling to become a gun in the hands of others without clarifying this key issue!

"That's because I still want to control that little vampire. She is the key sample for my next blood research. But given her relationship with that kid, if I take action directly, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to control her again." Wizard Anderson was silent for a moment, and finally gave his reasons.

"Based on the boy's fighting ability yesterday, do you think I can definitely beat him?" Entik didn't care about Wizard Anderson's reasons, but quickly turned to the next question.

"In my opinion, it's very difficult. If you rely on yourself, you will definitely die. But you seem to have established some evil insect alliance. If you add the power of this alliance, it may be okay."

"But what good will it do me to do all this? Instead, I will provoke Mary, a quasi-witch, for nothing!"

"What if I say I can make you stronger?"

"..."

"Your contract partner is that insect mother, right? A carrion beetle insect mother. Haha, you can meet such a good opportunity. It seems that you were really lucky!"

"..."

"You are probably worrying about how to improve your strength now. You have now tied your life to that insect mother. You not only need to bear the promotion needs of your own, but also need to bear the promotion needs of the rotting corpse insect mother. . In this way, the half-insect body will certainly give you an advantage over opponents of the same level, but it will slow you down a lot."

"..."

"Did you swallow one or two quasi-witches in this mission trial? Without such an adventure, you would not have been successfully promoted to quasi-witch. So what happens next? In order to be promoted to a wizard, you are also going to swallow a few wizards. Can’t do it?”

"Mr. Anderson, I understand what you mean. So do you have any better suggestions for my current situation?"

"Of course you are strengthening yourself!" Anderson's voice reprimanded disdainfully: "Although you and the insect mother are contracted creatures and share life, there is also a problem of dominance. When you become stronger, it will naturally It is your best servant. But if it evolves faster than you, although you will not have any worries about your life, I am afraid that it will be the real master of this body for most of the time!"

"So how can I strengthen myself quickly?"

"Jie, Jie, Jie... Boy, you may have forgotten how I made Mary become what she is today! As long as you join my witchcraft experiment, I guarantee that I can give you a strong body that is by no means weaker than Mary!"

"I agree to the terms. So what do you need from me?"

"First of all, I need a drop of blood from your insect mother! Only by obtaining its blood can I accurately prepare the alienated blood suitable for your physique."

After thinking in silence for a long time, Entik finally nodded in agreement.

As soon as Entik agreed, the Anderson wizard immediately urged him to hand over a drop of the worm mother's blood.

Entik gritted his teeth and opened his lotus-petal-shaped mouth, and the insect head once again revealed half of its body. The insects hissed loudly, and even the black carrion beetles around Entik became violent and agitated. However, under Entik's pressure, the insect head still opened its mouth and spit out a drop of smelly, sticky and weird juice.

The void in the secret room trembled slightly. As soon as the drop of juice left the insect's head, it was supported by a ripple in the void that opened in time before it hit the ground. As soon as the teleportation light flashed, the juice disappeared inexplicably.

Entik's dense compound eyes shone with light, apparently also secretly frightened by Wizard Anderson's tight control over the tower.

"Boy, you are very wise! Well, with this thing, I can quickly prepare the alienated blood. When you also have vampire blood, that will be your time to shine!"

Sensing the powerful spiritual power of Wizard Anderson, he slowly exited the secret room, and the evil insect Entik covered himself in the boundless darkness again. In the shadows where no one could spy, the chirping insects kept chirping, and no one knew what he and the insect mother were having a heated exchange with.

The whole space is filled with an eerie atmosphere!

…………

After returning to his residence, Greem once again entered that closed life circle.

Deep meditation, reading books, witchcraft experiments...these boring activities have become his basic daily routine. Somehow, a deep sense of crisis enveloped Greem's body and mind, urging him to continuously accumulate knowledge and strengthen himself.

He had a feeling that if he didn't run with all his strength, something terrible would happen to him. Although it is difficult to explain where this sense of crisis comes from and who it comes from, Greem firmly believed in it and actually took action.

Moreover, the consecutive days of witchcraft study also brought him great benefits. The witchcraft books accumulated in the past were summarized and sorted by the chip, and they were transformed into occult knowledge that he could understand and call at any time in his mind, filling in the basic gaps in his fire witchcraft.

Therefore, unknowingly, the flame shield and high-temperature force field became his possession, and the mastery of the body in flames also increased from 37 to 41.

Seriously speaking, at this moment, Greem's basic theory of the fire system is in no way inferior to that of any official wizard! chapter;
