I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

Looking at the hand on his chest, Roland closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I was too careless, and I underestimated you too much."

When Roland opened his eyes, a ballet puppet had appeared three meters in front of him.

The morning sunlight sprinkled into the forest, and the beautiful puppet stood quietly under the big tree.

The mist in the forest gradually dissipated, and Roland's neck felt lighter.

When Roland looked behind him again, in the far distance, a red shadow was rapidly leaving.

The Ballet Ghost didn't move from beginning to end. It just stood there, and another female ghost was scared away.

A hint of anger appeared in Roland's eyes. He swapped the complete magic stone on the Gray Magic Staff with the remaining magic stone on the lantern. Then he put away the Ballet Ghost and continued on his way.

On the way, Roland could occasionally see a red shadow standing quietly in the forest from a very far distance behind him.

In the blink of an eye, the red shadow disappeared.

The Red Spirit was now extremely cautious, not giving Roland a chance at all. Whether it was using the Ballet Ghost to catch it or the Silver Pocket Watch to chase it, it was too late.

"It's very patient. It's waiting for dark."

"It used to ignore me, probably treating me as bait, hoping I'd find someone to deal with it, and then it could eat us together... So it used to look down on me."

"Now it's suddenly changed its mind, and just now it even used a trick to make me lower my guard... It's suddenly treating me as a valuable prey."

"It must be the aura on my body that attracted it."

Recently, Roland had performed many soul stitching rituals, consuming a large number of valuable soul materials. His body had already been marinated with the scent of soul wax and undead essence.

Now, he had a fatal attraction to the Red Spirit.

At this moment, a thought was transmitted to Roland's mind—hunger.

Roland hurriedly took out the Soul Niche, picked out a portion of soul essence, and placed it on the Book of the Devil.

There was no reaction.

—Anger.

Roland's face stiffened slightly, and he looked at the ballet puppet and said, "I'll definitely find soul garlic in the next two days and get you some soul tears!"

—Fragrant.

"Fragrant?"

Roland was stunned, and his face became a little colorful.

Before, the first time Roland burned something for the Ballet Ghost, he had burned some incense.

Later, he simply used soothing potions to make a lot of incense.

Leona the Great Immortal seemed to like this kind of thing very much.

He hurriedly took out three sticks of incense, lit them, and bowed three times to Leona the Great Immortal. Then, Roland tentatively controlled Leona and found that she didn't resist. So he first put her into the Book of the Devil.

After that, Roland tried many times to lure the Red Spirit nearby, but that thing wouldn't take the bait no matter what.

In the end, Roland sighed: "You win. You two female ghosts are really more difficult to deal with than the other."

Roland stopped paying attention to the thing following behind him. He thought for a moment and headed towards a certain area.

'I have to find a way to get rid of this guy before dark, otherwise I'll have to sleep with a female ghost tonight, either the one who likes to crawl on people's necks, or the one who likes to dance on people's bodies!'

On the other side.

A timid, skinny female apprentice was looking timidly at the table.

On the table, there was a piece of white paper with a circle drawn on it. In the circle was a thumb-sized doll. There was also a compass nearby.

The doll had already walked out of the circle and was slowly walking in a certain direction. From the pointer on the compass, it could be roughly judged where he was going next.

The female apprentice picked up a quill pen and wrote a line on a piece of parchment: 【Alina, the guide has left the Ranger's House.】

After a while, a new line of text gradually appeared on the parchment.

【Notify Valerie, bring the dog, take the artifact, meet in Blackwood Forest.】

The female apprentice wrote again: 【Aurelia is busy today.】

New text on the parchment: 【We don't need her, catch that kid before dark.】

Afternoon, Blackwood Forest, Zone E, Pollution Level: 37.

This was a red forest, the leaves of the trees as beautiful as maple leaves.

In a pile of rocks in the forest, strange red vines grew, with magical flames blooming on the vines. The flames swayed in the wind, like swaying flowers.

A small group of beautiful red lizards crawled on the vines, licking the flames. These lizards were the size of arms and moved very quickly. When they ran, they would leave a red afterimage.

A rustling sound suddenly rang out in the distant forest, and a magic puppet that was seven or eight points similar to the Ballet Ghost swaggered out of the forest.

The lizard group looked at the magic puppet and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Buzz buzz buzz... The only female lizard in the lizard group floated into the air for no reason, as if an invisible hand was pinching it. An evil hand wantonly stroked the female lizard, constantly shaking its body in the air.

The female lizard swayed back and forth in the air like a pendulum, desperately trying to break free, but it couldn't shake off the magic hand. It let out a series of mournful wails.

Seeing their lover being humiliated in such a way, the lizard group was furious.

They rushed over to bite the puppet, but the puppet flew up. The lizard group angrily spat balls of fire at the puppet. But the puppet was like a ghost, and flew into the forest with a whoosh.

Five or six balls of fire struck the forest. The female lizard's fireball was the largest, and it actually broke a tree.

After the fire lizards spat out their fire, they were obviously much weaker.

Crack crack crack... The puppet that had just left swaggered out from another location, and the lizard group glanced at it, slightly hesitant.

At this time, the painful female lizard was pulled by the big hand in front of the many lizards, and wailed a few more times in front of them.

The lizard group was furious and spat out two or three more fireballs at the puppet. The puppet burrowed into the ground, dodging the fireballs.

After forcibly spitting out the second wave of fireballs, two of the fire lizards had already fainted. The other lizards licked their tongues, very tired.

"Hehe! ~~ It's actually a Lesser Fireball spell, no wonder a complete adult Fire Lizard skin can sell for seven or eight magic stones, it's so expensive."

A young wizard swaggered out of the forest. His laughter angered the female lizard, and the female lizard spat a much smaller fireball at him. The wizard tilted his head and dodged it.

The wizard threw out his wizard's hat, and the hat swallowed the female lizard in one gulp, and then flew towards the other lizards.

The lizards had now realized that they were no match, but they were too exhausted to run fast. Some of the lizards couldn't even run anymore. They were successively stuffed into the wizard's hat.

The newest novel is first published on 6 9 Book Bar!

After sitting on the pile of rocks, Roland reached out and released seven or eight dizzying spells into the wizard's hat, then took the fire lizards out one by one, tied them up, and threw them into the bag.

Roland was very happy: "They're all alive, they're beautiful, and they can even use magic. They can be sold to the girls' dormitories. Those witches who know how to tame magical creatures will definitely buy them at a high price."

— "Junior Roland, why don't you sell them to us?"

Roland's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked towards the woodland.

Standing on the treetop of a large tree thirty meters away was a tall, medium-sized female apprentice. She seemed weightless, stepping on the leaves.

Roland carefully sensed it and found that there were two other people around.

He looked at another big tree, and then the tree trunk wriggled for a while, and a skinny medium-sized female apprentice walked out. She seemed not to have expected to be discovered, and a hint of interest appeared on her face.

At the same time, the soil far behind Roland bubbled like water, and then a big fat girl, panting, crawled out. She wiped her sweat, took out a dead Tier 2 magical creature from her sleeve, and stuffed it into her mouth, crunching and crunching as she ate it.

At this time, Roland felt fluctuations in magic power from a more distant direction. It seemed that 10 low-level apprentices were also hidden in the forest. After showing themselves, they slowly surrounded him in an encirclement.

Roland's face was a little ugly.

This group of people had been ambushing him here for a long time.

They had formed an ambush like a pocket, distributed very sparsely, and hidden very deeply. His route had come in from the mouth of the pocket, and he couldn't detect these people at all.

This group of people was very experienced, and also very cautious and cunning. They didn't treat him as a low-level apprentice!

Roland looked at the woman standing on the treetop: "Senior Alina is making such a fuss, you're really flattering me."

Alina slowly floated down. She pretended to be puzzled and said: "What fuss? We're here to catch fire lizards, we just happened to run into you."

She changed the subject, looking at Roland with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "I didn't expect Junior's methods to be so amazing, you actually managed to take care of these things alone."

She looked at the 10 people who were gradually walking out of the surrounding forest and said: "We're not as good as you, it takes more than a dozen of us to catch these things. Heh heh heh."

As she said that, she suddenly reached out and grabbed, and then a chain suddenly flew out and inserted into the distant forest. Then it pulled a puppet out of thin air.

Alina reached out and took the puppet in her hand, looked at it, and frowned: "It's necromancy, and it's the most evil forbidden art in necromancy..."

After a pause, she smiled and stretched out her finger, hooking Roland's chin: "Junior Roland, who studies forbidden arts and will go to prison, you're really brave."

Roland removed Elina's hand and looked around at the people in all directions. He thought to himself, 'This group must have a way to locate me. Even if I try to run, I'm afraid they'll catch up again. Moreover, these few intermediate apprentices have very good concealment skills. If they secretly catch up to me and launch a surprise attack together, I might end up like that failed evil god, unable to use any of my abilities and instantly killed.'

'There's no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. I have to find the person who is skilled in tracking and kill them.'

He looked at the dozen or so people in front of him and shook his head secretly: 'No, I don't know which one is capable of tracking me. Once a fight breaks out, I can't fight so many people at once. And once I use the trump card of the Ballet Ghoul, I can't leave anyone alive! There are too many of them, I'm not confident I can kill so many people.'

This was a team led by three Black Abyss elite intermediate apprentices, a total of thirteen people!

No low-level apprentice could deal with so many people.

The Ballet Ghoul is indeed a BOSS, a BOSS who is not afraid of death.

But Roland only has one life, he doesn't want to risk a desperate fight.

The defense of the Lantern Barrier is only 10 points. If two intermediate apprentices each attack once, or 10 low-level apprentices focus their fire, he would be reduced to ashes and scattered to the sky.

Running away would only lead them to find him again, and fighting would be very difficult. These thirteen people put Roland in a very passive position.

At this moment, Roland suddenly noticed a flash of red in the forest in the distance.

Roland was originally quite calm, after all, if a fight really broke out, no one would benefit. Moreover, he might still have a chance to kill and run.

So, he only felt it was a bit tricky before, not wanting to take risks, not wanting to chew on a hard bone.

But now, after seeing this red figure, Roland's face became very ugly.

With this red figure around, it would be difficult for him to run. Once a fight breaks out, the Red Wraith will definitely take advantage of the situation. Moreover, this guy has been chasing for so long, with only one target. So, during the fight, she will definitely come for me first!

If I'm fighting desperately with others, and the Red Wraith pounces on my neck... that would be a big problem!

Elina saw that Roland's face was not good, not knowing that he was troubled by the Red Wraith's matter.

She said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, little junior. We didn't come specifically to find you. We just happened to meet you. This Black Forest is very dangerous, it's really worrying to see you walking alone. Since we've met, how about we travel together?"

Roland's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "That's exactly what I wanted. To be honest, I was worried about how to spend the night tonight. Having more people will provide some support."

Elina laughed loudly.

"Smart, I like smart people!"

Roland nodded deeply, he liked this group of people more and more.
