I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha

This woodland was exceptionally beautiful. The trees grew particularly thick and lush, and colorful flowers bloomed everywhere, resembling a fairytale wonderland from the Brothers Grimm.

Roland even saw some small fairies flying in the air. They had butterfly-like wings, but the wings were transparent.

Upon noticing Roland's attention, the little fairies suddenly transformed into mermaids, frolicking in front of Roland.

Roland's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.

Elina frowned and said, "Why are there elemental sprites here?"

"Elemental sprites?" Roland looked in astonishment at the little mermaids flitting about. "These are elemental sprites, not mermaids?"

The others ignored the wizard's lack of common sense. Elina snatched the map from the low-level apprentice and began studying it.

Then, Elina frowned and said, "You idiot, did you take the wrong path? According to the map, we should be approaching the Evil Eye's lair, but Evil Eyes can't possibly live with sprites."

The low-level apprentice's face turned pale. Earlier, Elina had secretly discussed killing the guide and the problem of a new guide. He had volunteered and snatched this task.

But he had led them astray.

He looked at Roland with resentment. Earlier, there were some special ranger markings on the map that he didn't understand, so he had asked Roland, "You dog bastard, are you doing this on purpose!"

Roland raised his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently, "I'll give you another chance to phrase that."

The icy gaze was like looking at a corpse. The low-level apprentice subconsciously took half a step back, then felt annoyed.

The low-level apprentice looked at Elina, who shook her head slightly. She said, "Roland, don't be so hot-tempered. Something's not right here. We can't have infighting right now."

These people now believed that without Roland leading the way, everyone would get lost. Getting lost in the Black Forest was a very dangerous thing, so Roland wasn't afraid to make a move here, but they didn't dare to make a move here.

Barbie slapped Roland's shoulder and asked grimly, "Where is this?"

"I don't know where you've led us. Those special markings are used to mark the distribution of magical creatures. Even if you misread them, it shouldn't affect the route."

Roland also looked bewildered. He wanted to enter the contaminated area more than anyone else, so why would he mislead the team?

Recalling the compass's display, Roland felt a very ominous feeling in his heart.

He said, "This area is a bit strange. Give me the map. Let's go to another area. There can't be Evil Eyes here. I don't want to die here with you."

There were plenty of highly contaminated areas; any one of them could be their burial ground. There was no need to risk it in this strange area.

The others frowned, considering Roland's suggestion.

Celia looked at the frolicking elemental sprites around them and suddenly said mysteriously, "There might not be Evil Eyes here, but there might be top-grade magical herbs."

Elina and the others' eyes lit up. Elemental sprites were often attracted to plants with extreme magical power, so top-grade magical herbs might indeed grow here.

Of course, there might also be powerful creatures in such places. However... the magical contamination here seemed very low. Even if there were creatures, they would be lawful creatures. As long as you didn't provoke them, there wouldn't be any problems.

In a sense, this was a natural safe zone.

After hearing everyone's discussion, Roland shook his head and said, "If you insist on seeking death, don't blame me for not warning you."

Roland had been speaking to this group of people with this attitude all along. Elina didn't mind. Instead, she smiled softly and said, "Roland, let's explore this place together first, and then ask you to lead the way and go to the Evil Eye's lair with us, how about that? We'll just search around nearby. If we find anything wrong, we'll leave together immediately."

Roland pondered for a moment, then said, "Then let's go take a look together."

Everyone carefully dealt with the scent on their bodies, then restrained their magical fluctuations, concealed their auras, and slowly ventured deeper into the woodland.

On the way, everyone saw many small sprites. One low-level apprentice got itchy hands and wanted to catch one, which almost scared Elina and the others to death. They hurriedly stopped him.

"Are you crazy?! There are so many of them. Each one can unleash at least one formal spell! If you provoke even one, you'll stir up a hornet's nest!"

Roland, who was standing aside watching the fireflies dancing around, was secretly shocked: 'I didn't expect these little guys to be so powerful.'

The group advanced towards the area with a higher concentration of elemental sprites. Before long, the front suddenly opened up, and a clearing appeared before everyone's eyes.

A strange tree grew in the clearing. It resembled a giant willow tree, with willow branches that looked like colored crystals, surrounded by many elemental sprites. It was very beautiful.

There were tiny fruits on the willow branches, from which pollen-like substances flew out.

"Look!" Someone pointed to the base of the tree and said.

Many strange magical herbs grew around the tree, including even Ghost Mushrooms and Soul Garlic, which only grew near dark caves and swamps!

These magical herbs, which originally could only grow in specific environments, were now thriving in the shade of the tree.

"I wonder what kind of tree this is. Let's explore the area first to avoid disturbing it if there are any powerful creatures nearby. Also, to prevent anyone else from lurking nearby." Elina's eyes were burning with desire to transplant this strange tree back to her family.

With this harvest, anything like Evil Eyes was no longer important.

After discussing for a while, the group couldn't help but look at Roland meaningfully. But they found that this guy's behavior was very strange.

He was flipping through a tattered school rulebook with red eyes, and then checking the contamination level with a compass.

He kept muttering to himself, then took out a pile of Fire Lizard skin and wrapped himself into a mummy.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Elina frowned and said, "What are you suddenly doing?!"

"How could this be... Impossible, impossible! How could the contamination level be negative, how could it be negative?!"

Roland suddenly raised his head and said, "Pour fire... Right... Haha, hahahaha! Pour fire!"

He suddenly laughed like a madman and lit himself on fire, "Pour fire! Hahahaha HAHAHA~~~ Pour fire!"

This person, who had just been fine, suddenly went crazy, shouting and laughing at the top of his lungs.

The newest novel is first published at 69shuba!

Then, he used the Ignite spell on himself!

The flames instantly soared to more than two meters high, burning brighter and spreading everywhere.

[Rule 1: Avoid contact with pollen.]

[Rule 2: Saplings are quiet. The one laughing loudly is not a sapling.]

[Rule 3: During the non-cultivation period of saplings, rangers have an obligation to pour fire.]

[Rule 4: Trees are flammable, tree roots are not flammable.]

"Hahaha~ Hahahaha~ Burn! Burn!"

Roland, with red eyes, was setting fires frantically around him while laughing. Everyone was shocked and hurriedly dodged.

"This madman!"

"Put out the fire, put out the fire! Don't let this idiot set this place on fire and hurt that tree!"

Elina and the others hurriedly raised their wands to put out the fire. When they finally managed to extinguish the fire, they found nothing left in place.

Everyone couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Elina's face turned ashen: "Damn it! We were tricked by that kid! Chase him!"

"Don't worry~~ He can't run far." Celia giggled and threw out five or six dolls. The dolls spun around in place and flew towards the direction outside the forest.

Everyone rushed into the woodland with extremely fast steps.

"That kid should have used a strange item when he escaped, but he didn't run far, only half a kilometer away. With my wraith dolls entangled with him, he can't run far."

Celia's face flushed with an unusual red. She was trembling with excitement: "Elina, just kill him directly, I can't hold back any longer!"

Elina's eyes were filled with murderous intent. She had originally wanted to let that kid live for a few more hours.

"You can play with him, but you must destroy the corpse and eliminate the traces... Burn the soul clean too!"

In her words, Elina noticed that Barbie beside her suddenly stopped and started scratching her body.

"What are you doing, Barbie, hurry up and catch up!"

Elina scratched her arm and said.
