Chapter 0034: In the shade

Now that you have selected your favorite task, you need to sign up quickly.

After all, the number of people who have signed up and the total number of people required are marked at the end of each task. Once the number is full, the task will immediately disappear from the task list and enter task execution mode. If you start too late, your favorite tasks will slip away from you.

As soon as Tower Wizard Anderson finished issuing the mission, he returned to his residence without saying a word. The statistics of all subsequent registrations naturally fell on the apprentice chief Allen.

As expected, the only green task of guarding the swamp tower was instantly occupied by Allen, and several apprentices who were close to him also became the winner. As for the few remaining spots, there were obviously still vacancies, but they were monopolized by him, with the attitude of sitting on the ground and raising the price, and the highest bidder would get it.

The weakest junior apprentices gathered around him. They dared not speak out in anger and could only bargain with him in a low voice. Some pretty female apprentices were all over the place with their flirtatious eyes, surrounding Allen with a weather-proof seal. And more junior apprentices gathered around the three strong men, chattering about something, and they were obviously undecided.

Mary brought Grim to the outside of the crowd. With her straight eyebrows raised, those soft-spoken guys immediately moved to one side to let go of the apprentice chief Allen who was surrounded.

Even though Allen looked arrogant in front of others, he could not stand up in front of the three strong men and Mary.

The three strong ones are recognized by the apprentices as the strongest senior apprentices. If there is a head-on conflict, a guy like Allen, who has barely entered the intermediate apprenticeship with the help of witchcraft, will not be enough for the three strong men to deal with him, no matter how many helpers he has.

As for Mary, Allen was really frightened.

Even after becoming the head apprentice, Allen felt terrified when he thought of the bloody and terrifying appearance of Mary in red. Moreover, after Wizard Anderson took Red Mary away, he put her back intact, making it clear that he was keeping her in the tower. So without sufficient excuses and reasons, Allen would never want to have a head-on conflict with Mary.

Seeing Mary in red getting closer and closer, although Allen tried to keep calm, his pale face and wandering eyes still betrayed him. He was truly afraid of this lawless vampire ghost!

"I want to sign up for the task of exploring the dark crypt, help me sign up!" Mary didn't care about him, still looking strong and shouting.

Alan silently took out the witchcraft amulet that represented his identity as the head apprentice. His spiritual power penetrated it, and a small light screen appeared on it. The content on the screen is exactly the mission chosen by Mary to explore the dark crypt.

Mary also took out her witchcraft amulet and pointed it at the light screen. In an instant, the 4/10 number representing the number of participants at the back of the light screen changed to 5/10. It seemed that four apprentices had chosen this exploration mission before her.

Now it's Greem's turn to choose a mission.

"I choose the Krage Alchemy Apprentice trial mission!" Greem's tone was calm.

Allen glanced at him and adjusted the contents of the light screen silently. As the light and shadow swayed, the task that Greem needed appeared on it.

Greem said nothing, took out the magic amulet and pointed at the screen without hesitation. However, what he didn't expect was that just when the witchcraft talisman was about to touch the light screen, the mission content of the light screen shook strangely and changed into the mission that Mary had selected before.

So, out of guard, Greem's witchcraft amulet touched the light screen.

The next second, the number of people tasked with exploring the dark crypt on the light screen changed from 5/10 to 6/10.

Such an unprecedented thing simply shocked everyone in the venue, and even Allen looked incomprehensible. He forced a smile.

"Ahhhh...what's going on? Why did this witchcraft suddenly go wrong! You see what's going on...why don't you ask the wizard to see if this mission can be cancelled?"

While everyone was still stunned, Mary in red was the first to burst out.

Silently, Mary's sharp nails were dyed with a layer of light, cutting through the air and piercing Allen's heart with a harsh scream. With such a close distance and the huge difference in agility between the two, he might not be able to realize that he was being attacked until Mary took out Allen's heart.

However, just as the red-clothed Mary's life-threatening hand reached halfway, a dark and lustrous big hand stretched out from the side and collided with it.

The two hands seemed to have only clashed once in the air, but for no reason, the big hand that looked like a monster's claw disintegrated in an instant and was crushed to pieces by Mary's sharp nails. In this first face-to-face confrontation, it seemed that Mary had the upper hand, but not even a trace of flesh and blood flowed out of the opponent's big hand that was crushed into pieces. The scattered fragments suddenly transformed into countless scorpions with black bodies, black armor, and black tails. , one after another were nailed to Mary's delicate hands.

Mary took a step back, waved her delicate hands, and quickly strangled the chasing scorpions one by one. At this time, the evil insect Entik, whose whole body was covered in a burqa, was already standing beside Allen.

The big hand just now was his.

The scorpions flying in the sky buzzed like a swarm of bees returning to their nest and poured into Entik's drooped cuffs, and there was no more movement. Such a strange scene further highlights the terror of the evil insects.

Grimm looked at the screen with a pale face, turned around and pulled Mary, who looked like a thorny cat, away silently. Mary, who was usually fierce, was not reckless at this moment. She was sensitive and found that the other two of the three masters had quietly stood up and were approaching the battlefield silently.

Those who could become apprentices were not stupid, and those who could become senior apprentices were even more talented. Except for a few with very strange tempers, most of the senior apprentices already knew how to restrain themselves and protect themselves. Obviously, Mary in Red, a senior apprentice who suddenly rose up, had seriously threatened the status of the three masters, so the three of them had begun to exclude Mary in Red intentionally or unintentionally.

…………

When they parted at the door of the residence, Mary wanted to comfort Grimm, but he smiled and refused.

Stepping into his residence and gently closing the wooden door, Grimm stood silently in the dark for a long time.

He saw what happened today very clearly, and it had nothing to do with Mary. If the main messenger is to be investigated, Grimm dares to assert that it must be the evil insect Entik. Although it is not certain whether it was because of the last incident that he stole his prestige, or whether the three strong men wanted to give Mary a warning, in short, Alan's little move today must have been instructed by Entik.

When the gods fight, the little ghosts suffer!

Such a situation is actually the sorrow of the weak.

So Grimm didn't want to trace the source at all, but tried to plan for his future.

The red task of exploring the dark cave is a standard dangerous task. If I have the strength of a quasi-witch, I must be safe. If I have advanced strength, I should be careful and protect myself. But who calls me a junior apprentice!

With such strength, I am in the middle of a group of senior apprentices. Although Mary will definitely take care of me, I still have to have some means to show. Red Mary may be grateful for some of my kindness in her downtime, but this is not enough for her to sacrifice her life to save me.

So in the final analysis, Grimm must have his own self-protection power.

In the darkness, Grimm took out the clay magic puppet that had just been refined from his waist bag. The crystal core the size of a fingertip was slightly flashing with the fluorescence of the earth element. The four energy nodes etched on it can absorb the free earth elements in the air day and night and store them as combat energy.

Two of the four energy nodes have been lit up, and the earth element energy has been charged halfway. It should be possible to try it.

Grimm listened to the movement outside the door, gently opened the wooden door, and flashed out of the residence.

At this time, I am afraid that most of the apprentices are still gathered in the lecture hall and are worried about the mandatory tasks, so Grimm did not meet any apprentices along the way.

A quarter of an hour later, Grimm walked on the familiar gravel path outside the tower again.

The battle between the senior apprentices yesterday obviously also caused a lot of losses to the swamp monsters. Along the way, looking at the sparse figures of monsters, Grimm's heart actually had a rare feeling of desolation.

These monsters usually look scary and evil enough, but once they encounter a more powerful wizard apprentice, they become trembling pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and can only hide in vain.

Maybe in the eyes of those monsters, these wizard apprentices are more evil and cold-blooded monsters!

Following the gravel path, Grimm came directly to the test site he chose - the mud swamp.

Simba died and turned into a mud puppet in his hand. These ghosts are in a group of demons without a leader, which is suitable for training.

Standing on the periphery of the mud swamp, 5 steps away is a filthy and smelly pool of water. The weak soul fluctuations of 3 ghosts can be vaguely sensed in the turbid and dim water.

Grimm casually threw the crystal core of the Mud Demon Puppet summoning to Tan's side. As soon as the pale yellow crystal came into contact with the soil and water vapor, he could sense an inexplicable fluctuation rising from it.

Under the guidance of Grimm's mental fluctuations, without any activation spell, a large amount of khaki smoke began to gather near the crystal. The soil on the ground began to rise and twist under the drive of a strange force, and then formed a human-like mud puppet.

Grimm closed his eyes and sensed that the crystal core he had refined was located in the chest of this mud demon puppet.

He opened his eyes and looked it up and down.

This is the only mud demon puppet that can change his destiny at present!
