Journey to the Wizarding World

The sawgrass that was transplanted into the jar seemed to be very frightened. The four leaves growing around it all closed up, curled up into a ball, and shivered.

"Interesting!"

Enzo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he handed the sawgrass in the jar to Knight Carter and ordered, "You are responsible for taking care of this sawgrass. Try to be careful and don't let it die."

"As you command, my lord!" Knight Carter took the jar and held Sawgrass in his arms.

Afterwards, the pioneering team continued to move forward.

The environment of the Twisted Jungle is complex, but with the map as a basis and the guidance of the chip, the pioneering team will not lose their way.

Squeak!

There was another sound not far away, which was particularly harsh in the silent forest.

Enzo looked around and saw two sawgrass growing in the forest clearing ahead, fighting with their sawtooth leaves, looking like two dueling swordsmen.

Ding dong!

The two sawgrasses were very close to each other, and their sawtooth leaves clashed, making a metallic sound. They both showed very angry emotions and attacked the same species crazily.

Enzo raised his hand to signal the Rune Knights behind him to stop.

“Watch it with a crystal ball!”

Looking at the two sawgrass fighting not far away, Enzo thought for a while, took out a crystal ball from the space ring, injected it with magic power, and turned on the photo-taking function of the witchcraft prop to record the scene in front of him.

The essence of the pioneering mission is to explore the unknown and record it!

About three minutes passed, and the battle between the two sawgrass came to an end. One of the smaller sawgrass had two leaves cut off, and it let out a sharp scream and curled up in despair.

The other sawgrass waved its leaves triumphantly, like a victorious general.

"Does curling up the body mean surrender?" Enzo stroked his chin.

The defeated sawgrass curled up for a while, and then slowly stretched in one direction. Its roots seemed to be able to move the soil in this way.

The victorious Sawgrass did not show any reaction to this.

Enzo's eyes flashed, and some inferences arose in his mind.

"Give me the jar." He ordered Knight Carter. After taking the sawgrass jar, he got off the horse and walked toward the open space ahead.

squeak!!

Feeling Enzo's approach, the sawgrass on the ground let out a scream, and all four scarred sawtooth leaves waved, as if to repel the intruder.

Enzo remained unmoved and stopped not far from it.

Then, he transplanted the sawgrass in the jar into the soil on the ground.

In the same area, two sawgrass appeared. They screamed at the same time, then moved towards each other, waving their sawtooth leaves, and started fighting each other directly.

"That's true!"

Enzo's eyes flashed, he stroked his chin, and said to himself, "Sawgrass has a sense of territory. Any outsider who steps into the territory will be expelled and attacked by them, including the same kind."

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The battle between the two sawgrasses ended quickly. The sawgrass that originally belonged to this territory had just experienced a battle and its leaves were damaged, so it was naturally no match for the alien sawgrass.

One of its leaves was cut off, and after its body curled up to express submission, it moved awkwardly away.

The other sawgrass waved its leaves as if celebrating victory, but then Enzo uprooted it again and transplanted it into the jar again.

"Keep going!" Enzo handed the jar to Carter and ordered.

...

Time passed little by little, and the whole morning passed quickly.

The pioneering team has entered the depths of the Twisted Jungle. Along the way, Enzo discovered several new species, but all of them were plants.

Among them, there is Sawgrass, which attacks with its leaves and has a strong sense of territoriality!

If an outsider comes close to you, it will spray out pine needles!

There was even a large piece of blade grass that looked ordinary but was as sharp as a knife when stepped on!

Every time he encountered a new species, Enzo would observe their habits and collect several samples as evidence of the pioneering mission and as materials for future experiments.

"My lord, what is that?" Knight Carter said beside him.

Ahead, a huge tree appeared.

It has a trunk as thick as a giant carriage wheel, and its green branches continue to extend outward, forming a huge umbrella, with vines hanging down from it.

And hanging on a branch as thick as an arm was a green fruit as big as a head.

"Go and have a look, everyone, be careful!" Enzo looked calmly and cautiously got off the horse and walked towards the giant tree. Swain was also a little tired at this time, so he turned into a crow and landed on him.

on the shoulders.

"It doesn't look like it's an intelligent creature."

Looking at the giant tree in front of him, Enzo scanned it with a chip and found no signs of intelligent creatures, as if this was a very ordinary new plant tree.

"What is this?" Enzo then looked at the head-like fruit on the branch.

After hesitating for a moment, Enzo pulled out his cross sword and chopped off the green fruit with one strike.

Click!

The head-like green fruit fell to the ground, and a crack suddenly appeared. The thick juice flowed out, emitting a smell similar to secretions.

Walking forward, Enzo chopped the fruit open with a sword.

"This is?" Enzo's pupils shrank when he saw the scene inside the fruit.

After the green skull fruit is cut open, the inside looks like an animal placenta. A creature that looks like a young crocodile is curled up and wrapped in mucus, and its body organs have basically taken shape.

"died?"

Enzo put away his cross sword, grabbed the crocodile creature on the ground, and found that it had no vital characteristics. It seemed that the fruit that was the placenta had ruptured, causing the death of the incompletely developed creature.

"Can trees, which are plants, give birth to animals?"

Enzo's eyes flashed with thought. The unknown tree in front of him should be the mother body of the crocodile creature, and the fruit served as the placenta to give birth to the crocodile creature.

"What a wonderful world!" Enzo sighed again.

Then, he took out a container, collected all the dead larval crocodile creatures on the ground, and the fruits that were placentas, and put them into the space ring.

"Chip, name this tree: Twisted Tree." Enzo ordered in his mind.

The giant tree in front of him had a distorted shape and could breed life. It had no other characteristics, so Enzo simply named it.

And just then.

"Alert! Dangerous creatures are approaching, please be careful!"

Just as he was naming the twisted tree, a chip alarm came in his mind. Enzo's eyes flashed, and the jungle behind the twisted tree shook, and a huge figure crawled out.

Bang!

A ball of green slime came over. Enzo thought, and the shadow under his feet turned into a shield, blocking the slime attack and making a corrosive squeaking sound.

"Hiss!" The creature lying on the ground in front made a snake-like sound.

However, its appearance has nothing to do with snakes. The huge body is somewhat bloated, the huge head has dense eyes, and the body is covered with tiny green tentacles, like a layer of hair.

"Hundred-eyed insect bear!" Enzo's eyes narrowed and he recognized the creature in front of him.

This is a species unique to the [Equila World]. Enzo once saw a biological sample of a hundred-eyed bug bear in the laboratory of Wizard Herbert on the 100th floor of the tower. This creature looks similar to a bear.

The tentacles covering its body resemble iron worms, and its attack method is to spray corrosive mucus.

"Sir, do you want to kill it?" On the side, Knight Carter drew his cross sword.

"Be careful." Enzo nodded.

Since Wizard Herbert's laboratory already has biological samples of the Hundred-eyed Insect Bear, there is no point in capturing it anymore. We can simply get rid of this monster directly.

Riding the Iron Claw Demon Horse, Knight Carter rushed towards the hundred-eyed insect bear.

The battle did not show any intensity. In just one round, Knight Carter cut off the head of the insect bear, and green sap-like liquid flowed from the incision.

Enzo stepped forward, drew out his cross sword, and cut the hundred-eyed insect bear in half.

This creature has no internal organs. Under the surface are intertwined blood vessels like rattan. The bone material is brittle, like a broken branch.

After looking at the corpse of the Hundred-eyed Bug Bear for a moment, Enzo shook his head.

As expected, there are many wonders in the world. Almost every new species discovered in [Elkila World] subverts Enzo's knowledge. As a native creature, it has no reproductive organs, and reproduction almost all depends on the mother tree.

"I wonder if those children of the forest were also conceived by trees?"

Enzo stroked his chin, and the thought suddenly arose in his mind. As the ruling class of [Elkila World], the Children of the Forest are considered the most intelligent race. Not only do they have the ability to speak, but they are also talented in manipulating plants.

"It's getting late, let's camp here."

Then, Enzo looked up at the sky and saw that it was almost evening, so he ordered the knights to set up camp and prepare to rest in this forest clearing.

The Rune Knights dismounted one after another, and under Enzo's order, began to camp on the spot.

Above the Twisted Forest, the sky gradually turned black, and night fell quietly. In the forest clearing, tents had been set up everywhere. The surrounding rune knights were divided into three teams, each with a knight captain taking turns to keep watch.

There is a depressing atmosphere in the silent forest.

"Help...Help..." Suddenly, a faint voice came from the distance, like a man's cry, with a hint of despair in the fear.

"This sound!?"

Knight Carter, who was patrolling around the camp, suddenly froze on the spot, his pupils shrank, he turned to look in the direction of the sound, and said in surprise: "Is it Edmund?"

"Help...someone help me..."

The intermittent voice came again, Knight Carter's eyes narrowed, and he said solemnly: "Emond and I were graduates of the same Iron Knight Academy. This is his voice, and it can't be wrong!"

Three months ago, the pioneering team that explored the Twisted Jungle consisted of thirty-one people.

In addition to the guardian wizard Gram, there are three rune knight captains, and Emond is one of them. A rune knight who graduated from the Iron Knight Academy in Fortress World, he has the combat power of a first-level life form.

The appearance of Emond's voice means that clues to the missing pioneer team have been found.

In the forest glade, in the largest tent, Enzo walked out quickly. He also heard the sound, and relying on the chip, he knew the direction of the sound more clearly.

"Sir, it's Edmund's voice!"

Knight Carter hurriedly came over and said, "He was a member of the pioneering team three months ago. He followed Wizard Gram to the Twisted Forest to perform an exploration mission, but lost contact with the tower."

"Are you sure you are Knight Emond?" Enzo asked with a frown.

"It's his voice, there's no mistake about it!" Knight Carter said categorically, "We were very good friends when we were in Fortress World, and we graduated from the Iron Knight Academy in the same class, so I'm very familiar with his voice.

."

"In that case, take ten people with you and come with me to have a look."

Enzo pondered for a moment, then turned around and ordered, "Eric, Andy, you two and the rest of the people are on standby to guard the camp here."

"As you command, my lord!" Eric and Andy, the two rune knights, said.

Afterwards, ten rune knights quickly gathered.

Under the leadership of Enzo and Carter Knight, the team headed in the direction of the sound. Intermittent calls for help continued to come, and as everyone got closer, they gradually became clearer and clearer.

"Alert! Unknown creatures found ahead!"

The chip's alarm sounded in his mind, and Enzo slowed down. A layer of light blue appeared in his eyes. After the night vision function was turned on, through the darkness, the outline of a monster appeared in front of him.

"It looks a bit like a crocodile?" Enzo's eyes narrowed.

As the distance gradually narrowed, the scene ahead also appeared in everyone's eyes.

Among the intertwined jungles, a huge monster climbed on a thick twisted tree. It looked similar to a prehistoric crocodile, but its limbs were thicker and slender, and its mouth was wide open.

"Help...someone help me..."

The crocodile monster's jaw and throat trembled, and a man's voice came out. In Knight Carter's ears, it sounded exactly like the voice of his comrade Edmund.

"How could this happen?" Carter looked in disbelief.

At this time, the crocodile monster on the twisted tree became extremely excited after discovering everyone. It opened its bloody mouth and quickly sprayed out a stream of hot flames.

Enzo frowned slightly, and the shadow shield appeared automatically.

Blocked the crocodile flame offensive, but he felt a little confused, because from the flame just now, Enzo actually felt a trace of rune breath, as if there was a flame rune cohesion in the body of this crocodile monster.
