"Brother Ate!"
Go Ying ran over quickly, bending over, and cautiously asked Artemis:
"What is that?"
The night breeze made Ateliers' ears tremble slightly. She gazed at the enormous lotus blooming in the moonlight, a glint in her eyes, and murmured involuntarily:
"Moonlight Lotus, more like a magical creature than a pure plant, possesses the ability to absorb magical energy under moonlight, while it closes and sinks to the bottom of the water during the day. Due to the extremely high concentration of magical energy within it, the effects of almost every magical creation are greatly enhanced when its lotus core is added, but most people prefer to consume it directly, as it is equivalent to several years of meditation..."
"Wow, that's amazing!" Ge Ying's eyes widened, she wiped the drool from her mouth, and couldn't help but take another look at the pure white lotus flower before hurriedly saying:
"Brother Arte, let's go pick it!"
"If we can pick these for my older brother, he should soon be able to protect himself..."
Artemis's eyes sharpened. She pulled Going back into the bushes and whispered:
“Moonlight Lotus easily attracts monsters, but its petals are very hard and sink quickly to the bottom of the water, so monsters usually don’t try to steal it by force, but instead hide in the shadows to prepare for an ambush. This place must be very dangerous now, Ge Ying, you must hide well and not come out.”
"I understand!" Ge Ying looked nervous and quickly dug a small hole in the ground and buried herself in it.
Artemis breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about how to extract the core of the Moon Lotus.
"With Ge Ying's help, I just inscribed a third-circle spell counterspell, and a fourth-circle spell for water manipulation and polymorph. That should be enough to harvest the lotus core. My only concern is that many monsters might appear later..."
She gritted her teeth and decided to take the risk anyway.
"I haven't been able to help my older brother in any way yet, but I must try."
The grimoire hanging from Atelier's waist moved automatically without wind, pointing to several spells.
"Invisibility, speed boost, water manipulation!"
A ripple spread across the calm water, quickly and silently drifting towards the Moonlight Lotus.
……
"Gah?"
The griffin tilted its neck, puzzled by the lack of information about the spellcaster's technique.
It straightened up from the hill and looked down at the moon lotus on the lake.
The responses from the other monsters within the magic network dispelled its doubts, and it lay back down on the ground.
The griffin had been coveting this Moonlight Lotus for a long time, and every night it would pass by this lake to determine when the Moonlight Lotus would sink or float.
If it weren't for the fact that monsters rarely have any vested interests, it would have already harvested the Moonlight Lotus core. However, it can only rely on its identity as a cyber police officer to open the boxes one by one and force nearby monsters to come here to help it restrain the Moonlight Lotus.
The griffin had no moral burden about this; the goddess had bestowed upon it the identity of a cyber police officer, which inherently placed it above other monsters. The law of the jungle was the rule among monsters, and the identity of a cyber police officer, apart from giving it the mission to complete the assignments, did not constrain its behavior in the slightest.
It yawned, and now it only needed to wait for the slow-moving turtle-like monster to arrive in two days, and it would be able to get the lotus core with 100% certainty.
The griffin couldn't help but chuckle when it thought of the Moonlight Lotus Core's added enhancement effect on its pile-driving ability. However, the next second, its eyes suddenly widened as it looked at the slender arm that reached out from the water and grasped the lotus core.
"Gawoo! Lili!"
The griffin roared angrily, and amidst the responses of the monsters that filled the mountains and fields, it flapped its wings and swooped down rapidly toward the half-elf that had revealed its form!
……
"It's a six-ringed griffin!"
Artemis dodged a water wave attack from a fish-like monster, stepped onto a slender vine, looked up, and her face turned slightly pale.
"Transfiguration!"
She raised her right hand and pointed in the direction of the griffin, shouting loudly. After a chaotic burst of magical light, the griffin transformed into a rooster and wobbled to the ground.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!" the rooster crowed angrily. It was the first time it had encountered an enemy that it couldn't disconnect from the internet. Its fierce anger overwhelmed its reason, and it immediately ordered all the monsters to launch an attack at the same time!
"Counterspell!"
"Counterspell!"
"Counterspell!"
Artemis dispelled three waves of monster attacks in succession, which completely defied the common sense of the monsters. They roared and vowed to kill this abnormal half-elf. Such a person who does not abide by the rules of the magic network must not be allowed to stay in this world!
"Brother Ate..." Ge Ying trembled as she lay buried in the earth, constantly blaming herself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here, please don't let anything happen to you..."
"Flying!"
Artemis rose into the air from the vines severed by the water blade, but an air blast was already waiting for her high in the sky. She couldn't dodge in time and was hit by the air blast, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she fell helplessly.
"Plant Guardians..."
She murmured intermittently, and dozens of entwined branches instantly extended from the plants on the shore, tying knots on the water's surface. She fell onto the branches and momentarily lost in a daze.
"Ka!"
The griffin broke free from the transformation spell, let out a wild cry, and gathered a blue blade from its sharp beak, swooping straight at Ateliers.
boom!
"do not want!"
Looking at the surging waves, Ge Ying buried her face in the mud in anguish, as if she had lost all her strength.
Chapter 60 Whose mage is using a magic book to cast combat techniques?! (Two-in-one)
boom!
The griffin, its head throbbing, rolled over off the vine, its beak curving upwards as if it had struck something of steel.
It forced its eyes open and, through its blurry vision, looked at the person running wildly along the lake. At the same time, the sound of the spell being cast slowly reached its ears.
"The Chain of Protection!"
[Second-Circle Spell - Chain of Protection: For a period of time, establish a life bond with the target, increasing spell saves and resistances, and sharing damage.]
The spell's information appeared before the griffin's eyes. It waited for a long time but still didn't see the caster's name, which startled it. It instinctively stopped its attack and used Eagle Eye to look at the person who had approached.
The newcomer's ring finger shimmered with magical light. He rubbed his aching pectoral muscles, grinned, and shouted repeatedly:
"Second brother, your elder brother is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped over and landed on the lakeside, letting out a loud, eerie cry:
"Zhang Yide of Yan is here. Who dares to fight me to the death?"
The griffin was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that this person had interrupted its good time. Enraged, it roared back, flapping its wings and screaming:
"Roar! Lili!"
"What kind of gibberish is that?" Latis scratched his head. The stable life force at the other end of the Guardian Chain reassured him. He breathed a sigh of relief, waved to the griffin, and called out:
"If you're so tough, come and challenge your grandpa to a one-on-one fight... Hey, I'm super!"
Leaf blades flung from the forest struck the automatically activated shield. Latis, belatedly realizing what was happening, rolled on the ground, glanced at the shield spell's remaining strength (2/3), and cursed:
"Young man, you have no sportsmanship! We agreed on a one-on-one fight!"
He glanced at the spell and the caster's information that appeared, and smiled coldly:
"Then don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
[Third Ring Race Spell - Earth Spike]
[WaWaJi (Moonlight Lake Groundhog) #Online]
The moment the prompt appeared, Latis swiftly flipped his hand, grasped the Black Swamp Hammer, and somersaulted into the air.
"Get your internet disconnected!"
The earth spike that had been thrust out suddenly vanished, and a ground squirrel with barely visible eyes stared blankly at the mound of earth that had melted away like soft mud, and squeaked twice involuntarily.
"Drink it! Eighty!"
With a thud, the Black Hammer struck the groundhog on the head. Latis, without lingering, glanced at the magic radar, flipped through the magic book at his waist, and activated [All-Terrain Hiking], charging straight up the tree.
[Fourth Ring Race Spell - Crescent Moon Blade]
【Neko Mao Mao (Chrysanthemum Leaf Cat) #Online】
"Damn it..." Latis stepped onto a treetop, spun around like a top, and swung his hammer fiercely. "Who's the mage here! Using a spellbook... casting a battle technique?!"
The powerful hammer slammed straight down on the head of the Chrysanthemum Cat, shattering its crescent-shaped crown, which fell into the hands of the passing Latis.
Latis glanced back at the gopher and chrysanthemum cat, whose eyes were rolled back, who were clutching their genitals and foaming at the mouth, and couldn't help but smirk mischievously.
"Yashtia is a genius! Damn, I'm going to give her the Magic Forge when I get back, let's see what other surprises she has in store for me."
[Fourth Ring Spell - Water Manipulation]
Second Ring Spell - Invisibility
[Third Ring Race Spell - Plant Guardian]
A series of spells without a caster appeared before Latis's eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Ate!"
Latis flung the chrysanthemum cat crown from his hand, and the grimoire at his waist instantly pointed at the boomerang. He suddenly pushed off with his feet and sprinted toward the vines that were slowly wrapping around the lake.
Seeing the exhibitionist man in tattered straw robe stumbling toward it, the griffin couldn't sit still any longer. It flapped its wings and used its racial spell, "Wings of the Wind," in an attempt to regain control of the skies.
Snapped!
The griffin's flapping wings were suddenly pulled apart by the vines, and it realized that it had been tightly entangled without its knowledge. Then a huge wave suddenly descended from the sky, hitting it and leaving it completely disoriented.
"Ate!"
"Big brother!"
The slender figure of the half-elf appeared on the lake shore, her robes fluttering in the night wind. Seeing Latis running towards her at full speed, she raised a knowing smile, and the vines instantly intertwined into a huge net, taut and stable in front of her.
Latis stomped onto the vine net with a powerful kick, his knee snapping up as if he were stepping onto a trampoline with tremendous force, and with a groan from his meniscus, he shot towards the griffin.
[First-Circle Spell - Haste]
[Third Ring Spell - Flight]
The magical glow transferred from Ateliers's hands to Latis the instant they touched. He laughed and was about to shout something when his eyes suddenly turned serious.
