Chapter 111 Invulnerable to fire and water
The flame curtain bloomed and spread out with lightning speed, causing unimaginable high temperature and pressure in a very short moment.
Destroy and destroy.
The ground was seared and cracked by the flames, and countless millipedes withered and burned at this moment. The sound of crackling fried beans only lasted for three to five seconds before returning to calm.
The fire all over the sky dissipated, and wisps of black smoke broke through the cracked surface, whistling like a siren.
The flames destroyed the insect swarms on the surface in one fell swoop, and wiped out the millipedes dormant underground. The high temperature distorted the air, and toxic gases from burning were everywhere.
Wayne raised his hand and the strong wind swept the poisonous gas high into the sky, cooling the hot air at the same time.
The four earthen walls spread out, and he jumped to the roof of the car. He glanced at Bishop Keith, who was holding a Bible, and said to Darcy, "Are you the person in charge of the church's stronghold in Jianhe County, Third-level Deacon Darcy?"
"Yes, I am Darcy. Who is your Excellency?"
Darcy still had a look of shock on his face, marveling at Wayne's powerful elemental affinity, as well as his unimaginable thinking and magic power.
After reaching the Silver Cross stage of cultivation, the magician's control of elemental magic is no longer limited by the amount of the four elements stored in the body. At this stage, the silver mage can directly mobilize the four free elements in nature with his thinking and magic power, and his own strength has greatly improved. , ushered in a significant improvement.
It's no surprise that Darcy is a Silver Mage.
The scary thing is contrast. Without contrast, there is no harm. Without contrast, there is no gap.
The flame magic released by Wayne is powerful and destructive. It not only requires an extremely large amount of magic power to back it up, but also requires powerful thinking to control and shape it.
Without a strong mind, the fire magic just now would not kill the insect swarm quickly and effectively, and the bus would definitely be affected.
Wayne's ability to release magic covering a huge area in a short period of time proves that his elemental affinity is extraordinary.
Thinking, magic, elemental affinity, all-powerful like a monster!
The above is Darcy's inference, and it cannot be wrong. After all, this is common sense.
He just overestimated Wayne's rank. The latter did not have the magical attainments of the Silver Cross, and the six-pointed star had not yet been formally connected.
Wayne was able to achieve this step because of his daily uninterrupted meditation. He has been adhering to the small goal of communicating with nature.
Communicate with the sky, the earth, and every part of nature, and be recognized by nature. With the same thinking and magic, the destructive power caused by magic is incomparable.
Wayne hasn't succeeded yet, but he sees signs of success, and the fire magic just now is the best evidence.
Of course, it is currently limited to flames. Without meditation, he can only seduce the fire element.
Getting back to the topic, Wayne reported his name, showed the Nature Church's security certificate, and said: "I came from Lundan today and was delayed for some time on the way. When I arrived at the base, I learned that you were invited to Nanjian Hejun District was investigating the insect infestation and suspected that the matter was not that simple, so I came to take a look. "
"Lord Muji."
Darcy called out respectfully.
Some time ago, I learned that a leader was parachuted into the Lundan headquarters. He didn't say anything, and he was somewhat unhappy in his heart. He couldn't be seen by anyone, and he didn't do any work. He was just a gold-plated bastard.
They are all gangsters, so it’s okay for him to have sex with him.
Now I don’t think so, he really can’t do it.
The black car drove up and Andre's appearance once again proved Wayne's identity.
The bus was swaying on the road. I don't know where it broke down. It was emitting black smoke. A group of people who had escaped from death looked curiously at the black limousine in front of them.
People worship the strong, especially in the extraordinary world.
As soon as Wayne arrived in Jianhe County, he gained a group of supporters, which was much better than the three fires of a new official. In the future, when he goes on business trips to further his studies, there will be people who will take the initiative to explain to him without having to speak in person.
In the black car, Andre continued to act as the driver, Bishop Keith sat in the passenger seat holding a Bible, and Wayne and Darcy sat in the back seat.
"It has nothing to do with the fog, it's a black magician..."
After understanding the cause and effect, Wayne took out a glass jar from his arms, which contained several millipedes. He had collected them on the way here and planned to send them back to the Lundam headquarters as samples.
"The black magician is planning to leave us behind to kill and silence him. If the plan fails, he will probably flee from Nanjianhe County. It will not be so easy to catch him next time." Darcy shook his head.
Black magicians are wanted criminals in the magic world. They travel around the country committing crimes and have no fixed residence. They change places every time they are shot. They are harder to catch than rabbits.
Wayne frowned upon hearing this. Although the insect infestation was effectively controlled and timely management did not cause irreparable impact, the mastermind absconded and was not caught, which was really unpleasant.
I couldn't get rid of all the bad things, and it was hard to sleep at night.
"Maybe there's still a chance."
Bishop Keith, who had never spoken, expressed his opinion: "A group of more than ten of us investigated the insect plague, and the black magician quickly came to kill him. In addition to his guilty conscience, his own strength was unable to cope with Lundan's powerful magician. He could also prove two Speculation."
"First, he monitored our actions. Nanjianhe County is so big that it is impossible for him to observe every aspect. It can only mean that we happened to pass by his lair when we were investigating."
"Secondly, he spent a lot of effort to transform the millipede, and he couldn't move his home base in a short time. He didn't want to waste his efforts and took the risk to hunt down our group."
Bishop Keith's reasoning was clear and logical, and Wayne also thought of this, but unfortunately, the black magician did not show up from beginning to end, and he may have been scared away.
Wayne takes on the psychological activities of the villain. If he were a black magician, when his own strength was insufficient and exposed, he would definitely fly away and save his life first before thinking about other things.
On the other side, Darcy followed Keith's reasoning and suddenly thought of something: "Keith, do you remember that rancher? I remember he said that the insect plague in the next village had reached the point where the insects were eating the corpses. The cattle sheds on the ranch were also infested by swarms of insects.”
"You mean, the Black Magician's lair is in the village next to the ranch?"
"Yes, rush over now, maybe you can catch him." Darcy looked at Wayne, waiting for the latter's decision.
"Turn around. If you can't catch anyone alive, you'll leave the body behind!"
————
The mist filled the air, and houses were scattered on both sides of the road.
There were few lights in the village, and it was extremely quiet. A few barks of dogs were heard occasionally, but no other sounds were heard. Due to the insect infestation, the villagers went home early, and the usual entertainment projects were also forced to stop.
The mist is emitted from the bodies of millipedes and contains slight toxins. Dozens or hundreds of millipedes have little effect. Once it reaches a certain scale, it will not be so friendly to humans living nearby.
Poisoning manifests itself as lethargy, fatigue, and fatigue. If things go on like this, the toxins will penetrate deep into the bone marrow, and their flesh and blood will become the most delicious delicacies for insects.
To the southeast of the village, there is an abandoned barn.
The barn was in disrepair and collapsed, and the surrounding area was overgrown with weeds. Except for a few cheaters, few people around there cared about it.
It has been even less so recently. People are weak and sleepy easily, and stress-relieving activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health have been suspended.
Millipedes have built a nest under the barn. The dark and humid environment is suitable for them to thrive. The sound of rustling crawls through. At the end of the nest, a door blocks the light.
The dark and cramped insect tunnel can only be passed by one person bending down. After passing through a wooden door, the laboratory inside is much spacious.
Ten square meters, except for an experimental table and a chair, the rest of the space is occupied by bottles and cans.
The life of the black magician is not easy. Rats crossing the street are yelled at and beaten, and there are specialized bounty hunters staring at their heads.
But the black magicians themselves do not think so. They have noble pursuits and disdain to join the ranks of the worldly people. They claim to be the pioneers of freedom who break the shackles, and gain happiness and satisfaction in the ancient alchemy.
Black magicians firmly believe that the reason why they are excluded is not because of the bloody and cruel methods, but because the truth they pursue breaks the monopoly of the inherent class, and the vulgar people in the magic world are jealous of their talents.
Quinton is such a black magician. He was originally an entomologist at Jianhe University. He was obsessed with bugs. He discovered endless potential in bugs and firmly believed that bugs are the masters of nature.
Especially the arthropods that existed in ancient times are ancient, mysterious and very charming.
Quinton's research on insects has reached the point where he forgets to eat and sleep. As a researcher who has escaped from low-level interests, his research cannot make money and it is difficult to apply for funding. For many years, he has relied solely on his love to generate electricity.
Until one day, a mysterious man came to Quinton who was in a financial situation. The mysterious man did not provide funds, but only gave him an alchemy book and a half-human, half-insect statue.
Quinton gained knowledge from alchemy and magic power from the idols, and his thinking was contaminated by this, like a bug that likes dark environments. He focused on the study of millipedes and hid in Nanjianhe County to build his own laboratory, trying to use alchemy to resurrect millipedes from ancient times.
The bottles and jars contained experimental failures. Due to an accidental fog attack, Quinton's experiment made a breakthrough.
He successfully created two species of millipedes.
A type with amazing reproductive ability. Due to the heavy fog, it has mutated with unknown meaning, and its body can secrete fog on its own;
The other is huge, has an invulnerable shell, and has amazing strength and bite power.
The first type of millipede caused an insect plague in Nanjianhe County, and the experiment was very successful. The second type was not so lucky. It needed a steady stream of mist to nourish it, otherwise it would die soon.
In order to protect his masterpiece and to bring himself closer to perfection, Quinton came up with an extremely crazy idea after worshiping the statue.
He used alchemy to combine himself and the bug into a single entity.
The experiment was very successful. After repeated transformations, Quinton transplanted the arthropod trunk of a millipede onto himself and gained the ability to control insect swarms.
At this time, he looked very much like a half-human, half-insect statue. He gained more power from the mist, believed that his life had been sublimated, and became even more obsessed with insects.
Later, Quinton met the mysterious man again, who praised his new life and reminded him to hide himself.
The mysterious man introduced the magical world, a messy world with lengthy rules.
Quinton's new life breaks the possibility of evolution and will inevitably be opposed by vulgar people, especially magicians who claim to be righteous. Once the other party comes to visit, all his experimental results will be burned.
Quinton received the warning, kept a low profile and never made any big moves, and focused all his attention on research.
To this day, a group of more than ten people have launched an investigation into the insect disaster.
Unlike the previous entomologists, this group of people came from the magical world. If they kept silent, they would definitely attract more attention.
Then, Quinton's silence operation failed, and most of his children died. He ignored his heartache and hurriedly moved the laboratory.
"No. 584, the only remaining sample. It is very precious and must not be thrown away."
"No. 001, this is the initial experimental sample. It is of great significance and cannot be given up."
"No. 6921, a very mature sample, there will be research projects in the future..."
"Special sample number SSNI..."
After counting them one by one, Quinton found that he couldn't move them. The laboratory carried his hard work. Every bottle and jar was a treasure. There was no distinction between good and bad. They were all priceless treasures.
boom! ! !
Suddenly, the ground shook and the laboratory began to shake violently.
The containers used to store the samples were smashed into pieces, formaldehyde solution flowed everywhere, and the samples he regarded as treasures were scattered everywhere.
Quinton didn't know why, so he switched his perspective to the swarm of insects outside the barn, and found that the ground was rumbling, and the woven network interspersed with vines dug the entire laboratory out of the ground.
The magician is here!
Quinton had no fear. Looking at the collapsed laboratory, there was only unspeakable anger in his heart. He roared and controlled the insect swarm to launch an endless offensive against the intruders.
The familiar flames burned the sky, and the high temperature distorted the air. The dry and hot environment made the insects feel deeply uncomfortable, and they twisted and curled up until they dried up and burned.
Several millipedes over three meters in size emerged from the ground. They are the strongest guards in the laboratory. They are invulnerable and powerful. They are the top predators in ancient times resurrected by Quinton.
Facts have proved that invulnerability ≠ invulnerability to water and fire, and the top predators in ancient times were also afraid of fire.
Under the targeted attack of the flames, the cuticle of the giant millipede cracked, and pairs of tentacles were burned red and charred. It didn't last for a few seconds before the expanding gas hissed out of the body and curled up and burned into ashes.
"Asshole, look what good things you have done!"
Quinton rushed out of the collapsed laboratory, his red eyes locked on the vulgar, his chest swelled, and he gasped for hot air.
What is this, a human, a bug?
It’s so evil!
The lower half of Quinton's body was replaced by the limbs of a millipede. The high temperature burned the white coat he was wearing. On both sides of his chest and abdomen, tentacles moved together, making a rustling sound.
Wayne's scalp was numb when he saw it. The picture was so shocking that he had goosebumps all over his body.
He could accept tentacles, but he couldn't accept bugs, especially bugs that were enlarged and then combined with humans. He rolled up a large vine with his hand, entangled Quinton and slapped it to the ground.
"Hey, it's over so soon?"
"The villain this time is so weak!"
The battle ended in a short moment, and it couldn't even be called a battle. Wayne came to demolish the house and set it on fire. He violently ruined the owner's hard work and gave him a slap in the face.
At the end of the battle, Darcy and Keith led their younger brothers into the arena to wash the floor.
They cleaned up the laboratory, packed up the well-preserved utensils, and took away the rest. Because they didn't understand bugs and couldn't tell whether the samples were important or not, they selected some strange ones and burned the rest.
Soon, a magician dug up the most important discovery of the trip.
Statue!
The statue is half human and half insect, very similar to the image of Quinton, which attracted Bishop Keith's close attention. He studied the statue repeatedly for a while and confirmed that it was an evil god from hell.
"Thousand-Eyed Demon!"
"???"
A series of question marks floated across Wayne's forehead. Did you see this bishop wrong? Where did the thousand eyes come from? The thousand-legged demon is almost the same.
Hell is the enemy of Heaven. When it comes to the evil god of Hell, Bishop Keith is a professional and Wayne has no right to question it.
He was just curious. The black magician believed in the evil god of hell and created an insect plague in South Jianhe County. Bishop Keith invited Darcy to investigate together...
Is there a possibility that Keith knew early on that there were followers of the evil god in the local area and was worried that he was not capable enough, so he asked Radasi to find someone to support him?
"Priest Wayne, this incident involves the belief in evil gods. Can you hand over the black magician and the statue of evil gods to the custody of our Heavenly Father?" Keith looked at Wayne solemnly.
Wayne waved his hand and said cheerfully: "Yes, yes, but I have to ask Lundan headquarters for instructions first, and then they will nod."
No problem at all, let’s go through the process!
Keith watched the statue being carried onto the bus and walked around Wayne several times. Seeing that the latter didn't leave any room, Keith turned around to find Darcy.
Keith: Good brother, give me some help.
Darcy: Who are you, brother? You pagan, don’t talk without opening your mouth. Didn’t you see that my leader is standing by?
…
It's night.
A group of people returned to Jianhe City without any danger.
Keith immediately contacted the Diocese of Lundan and explained the causes and consequences of the Thousand-Eyed Demon and the Evil God Statue. Now that the statue was seized by the Natural Church, he was unable to get it back and hoped that the Archbishop would send someone to deal with it.
In addition, after this night, the incident that was previously investigated without results was pinned to the Thousand-Eyed Demon. The dean was right, and the belief in an evil god was being spread within Jianhe University.
"Bishop Keith, the pastor of the Natural Church in Jianhe County is named Wayne, right?"
"Yes."
"Very good, you can ask him to assist in the investigation. No matter what request he has, as long as it is not excessive, you must satisfy him and make sure he accepts the entrustment."
"Why..."
"Don't ask, just do as you're told."
