Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 286

Chapter 284: Forbidden Forest Magic Plant

After Harlan Vera left, the five first-class wizard apprentice wizards hurriedly looked at Locke, waiting for Locke’s instructions.

These five wizards are all relatively old. Generally, wizards who have the strength to enter the Forbidden Forest are either geniuses or senior first-class wizard apprentices who have worked their way up step by step.

In other words, this opportunity to enter the secret realm of the Forbidden Forest is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these five senior first-class wizard apprentices, and it may be their last chance to turn things around in their lives.

At this moment, they all looked at him with respect and trust, and even felt a little fortunate, because Locke had already made a name for himself as the [Eye Demon] wizard a year ago, and his deeds had been widely circulated in Lilith’s Cottage, and he was admired, envied and worshipped by these wizards.

Therefore, after knowing that the wizard seed Locke was leading the team to the Forbidden Forest Secret Realm, many of them felt fortunate.

This is a good thing.

Likewise, leading them means both power and responsibility.

With responsibility comes power. This is a truth Locke realized in Lilith’s cabin.

Locke glanced at them and said plainly, “The Forbidden Forest is extremely dangerous. There are many dangerous wild magical plants that you have never seen before. The magical plants of the Forbidden Forest have always been known for their mystery and power. The reason why the plant wizards in the southeast corner are so powerful is because of the natural treasure trove of the Forbidden Forest.”

“So, after you enter, you must obey my orders. If you leave the team without permission, you will bear all the consequences at your own risk.”

The five first-class wizard apprentices looked at each other and saw their conviction in Locke in each other’s eyes.

Sebastian, the first-class wizard apprentice, was the first to speak up. “Yes, Senior Augustine, it is truly an honor for us to have a white wizard like you, who has practical experience, lead the team this time.”

Sebastian was a fat man wearing a white wizard robe. He took the initiative to flatter Locke, saying, “For this trip to the Forbidden Forest, we will rely on Senior Augustine.”

The others also complimented him.

Locke glanced at them and took the initiative to walk into the Misterlin Road.

His main purpose this time was not to obtain the resources of the jungle, but to find the special research project laboratory that was sealed by Wizard Foucault and Wizard Levis five hundred years ago.

However, it is not a big problem to take these people to explore the secret realm. With his current apprentice-level wizard level of 900 magic pressure, he has a certain ability to escape even when facing ordinary formal wizards.

As soon as Locke walked into the Forbidden Forest, he could feel that he had entered an ecosystem different from the outside world. The inside of this forbidden forest seemed to be an ecosystem of its own, and even the magical tides were different from those of the outside world.

The magical tides inside the Forbidden Forest seem to be more suitable for plant magic.

Locke spread out his left palm and rotated it slightly. Suddenly, the leaf blades of the Clivia flower flew out and rotated in his palm for a moment.

“Sure enough, plant magic has some effect here, though I don’t know the exact principle.” Locke pondered. “The wizarding world still holds many secrets for me, like this forbidden forest. It doesn’t look like it was formed naturally; it has traces of magical transformation.”

“But who could transform such a vast forest as the Forbidden Forest? It would be a huge undertaking. What lies deep within the Forbidden Forest has always been a concern for wizards in the Southeastern Corner.”

It is said that even a first-ring wizard would find it difficult to escape from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and their so-called secret realm is just a circle outside the Forbidden Forest.

Locke whispered, “Anyway, this is indeed a good place to hide things. No matter what important things are, once you throw them into the Forbidden Forest, it will be difficult for outsiders to find them.”

There are various kinds of magical trees on both sides of the dense forest road. The crowns of the trees begin to emit a faint green fluorescent light, which seems to be a blessing.

As they walked further in the Mysterlin Road, the magical power from the first dean would pay more attention to them.

At the end of Mister Forest Road, there stood a statue of the first dean, the mysterious witch Ms. Mister. On the base of the statue was written a line of text: “The greatest enemy of wizards is not ignorance, but self-righteous stupidity.”

After they reached the end of the forest path, light was released from the eyes of the statue, and then the statue began to move on the spot and make way.

Cleared a path leading to the real forbidden forest!

A mysterious and chaotic aura came over me, it was the real magical tide belonging to the Forbidden Forest.

Behind Locke was a first-class wizard apprentice who was over a hundred years old. His face changed slightly. It was obvious that he had sensed the many dangers behind the magical tidal aura of the Forbidden Forest.

Sebastian was about to take the first step when Locke stopped him. Sebastian was stunned for a moment, then reacted. “Yes, yes, senior, you go first.”

Locke frowned, “That’s not the reason.”

“Look.”

Locke used the ominous mandrake vine under the sleeve of his wizard robe on his right hand to roll up a stone and threw it towards the weed-covered ground in the forbidden forest ahead.

As soon as the stone fell to the ground, countless weed leaves suddenly opened their small mouths, revealing densely packed sharp teeth. They opened these terrifying mouths and kept biting everything around them.

Sebastian broke out in a cold sweat. “There wasn’t any demonic pressure fluctuations at all… so I overlooked it. Could it be that this forbidden forest is full of this kind of stuff? Isn’t this a dead zone for life?”

The other four first-class wizard apprentices were also terrified after seeing this scene.

Locke frowned slightly. “This is a mid-to-high-level magical plant: Frog Tongue Moss. It’s a common, specialized magical plant found in the Forbidden Forest. It’s not actually a grass-type magical plant, but a moss-type magical plant disguised as a plant. It can take on various weed shapes, so its appearance is inconsistent. But if it hears any unusual noise nearby, it will suddenly attack those around it.”

“It’s still quite troublesome.”

“Haven’t you heard that the Forbidden Forest is a green desert?”

“Although the Forbidden Forest appears to be home to a multitude of species, the life forms within are actually highly specialized. For example, there’s a magical insect that only eats the third leaf of a specific magical plant. The Forbidden Forest is full of these highly specialized creatures.”

“So, while it’s said to be rich in flora and fauna, it’s actually a green desert in another sense, and it’s extremely dangerous. For those of us who enter the Forbidden Forest, it’s not a green paradise where we can easily get food, but a green hell.”

Locke looked around and saw that the complex ecology inside the Forbidden Forest would cause it to produce a special phenomenon, the solution of which lay around it.

Locke immediately saw two kinds of animals and plants near the frog’s tongue that could easily deal with this magical plant.

One is the sound-absorbing mushroom, which absorbs any sound. If you carry it with you, you can walk in absolute silence without activating the reaction of the frog’s tongue coating.

The other type is the sloth stone lizard, a magical lizard that lies on a tree and remains motionless all day long. Its call will produce a sound attack effect similar to that of a slow spell, which can slow down the attacks of the surrounding frog tongues, allowing oneself and others to easily pass by.

The ecology inside the Forbidden Forest is extremely complex, and each element influences each other, like the most sophisticated machine, with countless gears meshing and turning. Therefore, around an animal or plant, there must be an animal or plant that restrains it.
