Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 133 - 33: Unknown Glimpse

Chapter 133: Chapter 33: Unknown Glimpse

“Cooperation?”

Richard sneered inwardly. The treasure from the Mother Worm God possessed by that group of insects was so valuable; he did not believe these two Wizards were willing to share with him.

Now, bringing up cooperation, they were likely using them as cannon fodder.

Black Wizards, each one of them had climbed up stepping over the bodies of their peers, absolutely unburdened by any guilt when it came to betraying their teammates.

But… Richard was also a Black Wizard, and he likewise harbored thoughts of using these two as cannon fodder.

Therefore, Richard pretended to ponder and after a long contemplation, he said,

...

“Cooperation… is indeed possible, but I have one condition.”

“What condition?”

Richard smiled slightly, “Since we’re cooperating, naturally we need to share intelligence. These insects came from above; their numbers, what kind of insects they are, and what they carry. I believe the two of you should be clearer than I am, who only tracks their traces.”

Although Richard was very familiar with that group of insects, to make this deal more realistic, he decided to set some conditions.

The Human Puppet Wizard and the Wizard behind exchanged glances, sending Spiritual Messages through psychic waves.

“How about sharing the message about the Faith Equipment?”

“Possible, but we cannot give it away too easily. These two Wizards surely know something, we have to extract something from them…”

Richard, noticing the two were communicating, was in no rush; he knew they would agree to his terms.

The combat power of that group of insects was not weak, especially the severely wounded Second-Level insect, which Richard was particularly wary of. If not for having Ulysses as support, he would never so recklessly pursue them.

The teachings from the Jialong Club’s Black Wizards still echoed in his ears; as a Black Wizard, one must restrain their own greed.

These two Wizards had only Second Ring power, and even if they had some tricks, they would not be stronger than him and Ali. To securely handle those insects, allying with them was necessary.

“We can share intelligence,” the Human Puppet Wizard stated, “but you also must share intelligence.”

“No problem with that,” Richard agreed readily, “I have information about this Mushroom Land.”

With the deal reached, both sides began exchanging intelligence.

According to the Human Puppet Wizard, they were tracking this group of insects for a piece of Faith Armor they carried, which was extremely precious among the Black Crystal Insects and significant for the Wizards’ research.

Besides, this group consisted of about twenty insects intermingled with various types, among which there was a third kind, less common than Warrior Worms and Sacrificial Insects, known as Spider Knights.

The Human Puppet Wizard highly praised the Spider Knights.

In his words, these insects had swift movements and powerful attacks, holding a significant advantage in the narrow terrains of the Insect Nest.

In an upper layer of the Insect Nest, a Wizard experiencing his first Plane War had been instantly slashed into pieces by two Spider Knights.

Richard neither agreed nor disagreed.

The Spider Knights indeed possessed strong initial killing capabilities.

After the Human Puppet Wizard finished sharing the intelligence, Richard also shared his information on the Mushroom Land.

Richard’s information was quite conservative; aside from needing to sacrifice Flesh to enter the Mushroom Land and not causing massive destruction within it, he did not reveal anything else.

But just these two pieces were enough to satisfy the Human Puppet Wizard.

They knew nothing about the Mushroom Land; without Richard’s information, entering would be akin to walking into a trap.

“Had no idea this place had such intricacies, without the two of you, we might have been in serious trouble,” the Human Puppet Wizard expressed his relief.

“No big issue, we’re all on the same side.”

After exchanging information, they exchanged names; the two Human Puppet Wizards were brothers, with the elder brother, who had spoken, named Suogu and the silent one named Soduo.

These two brothers, participating in their second Plane War, although not as experienced as Lawrence, were not to be underestimated.

Suogu pulled out a Warrior Worm from his Slave Pocket, its limbs broken and body covered in numerous scars, some still oozing green slime.

When Suogu grabbed it, its body no longer trembled and struggled, and its mouthparts emitted continuous chirps, seemingly cursing something.

“Good thing we captured a live specimen earlier, or it’d be difficult to make this entry.”

Suogu smiled at Richard and then threw the Warrior Worm into the Mushroom Land.

The Mushroom Land treated all sacrifices equally; how the Spider Knights were consumed, the Warrior Worm was consumed. However, as the flesh of the Warrior Worm was devoured, several fungal hyphae emerged from its broken limbs and wounds, forming new limbs.

Suogu signaled Richard with a nod, and together they entered the Mushroom Land.

…

Upon entering the Mushroom Land, Richard immediately sensed a change in the surrounding environment. The surging Life Energy of the middle layer Insect Nest had become even richer and more chaotic in the Mushroom Land.

This life energy made Richard’s cells extremely active, but this change was somewhat dangerous.

As is well known, cancer cells are also quite active.

Richard communicated quietly to Ulysses using his spiritual power, “Ulysses, didn’t you say this space was harmless?”

“Ah, there has been a little problem.” Ulysses’ eyes emitted a faint glow; he was observing the space in a more advanced way, “The residual rules of this space are more numerous than I thought, almost comparable to some of the broken Divine Countries.

But don’t worry, I can tell you for certain that the World Master is thoroughly dead, and no matter how many residual rules this space has, it is merely an environmental change for us; no one is targeting us.”

After hearing Ulysses’ explanation, Richard’s tension eased slightly.

As a World Master, Ulysses’ vision was certainly much stronger than any of them, the Level 1 Creatures.

The ecology of Mushroom Land was quite marvelous; they tread on soil intertwined with various colored mycelium, mixed together like fabric. Combined with the soil, it felt soft and elastic when stepped on.

Around them, aside from the tall giant luminescent fungi, there were also numerous small, colorful fungi Richard and his companions had never seen before. These fungi were brightly colored, and their patterns were exceptionally beautiful, giving off a deadly allure as if one bite could be poisonous.

These unknown fungi were particularly tempting for the Wizards, and several of them collected some as specimens.

Of course, this collection was limited. Even though they did not know what the Spirit of Nature in Mushroom Land was, these Level 1 Creatures still chose not to provoke unnecessary trouble.

While collecting these fungi, Richard felt a faint sense of being watched, a mysterious sensation similar to Wild Intuition — a special ability produced from years of training the Adaptation Body, evolving his physical cells.

“Could it be the Spirit of Nature?”

Richard stopped his actions and asked Ulysses through a spiritual message,

“Ulysses, do you feel something spying on us?”

“Ah, spying? No.” Ulysses shook his feathers, “In this Mushroom Land, besides these mushrooms, there’s not even a living creature; nothing is spying on you.”

Hearing this from Ulysses, Richard felt doubtful.

Was he just being paranoid?

Before he could ponder it further, Suogu gestured to him.

Richard walked over and saw a group of insects regrouping in the distant Mushroom Forest; among them was a Priest Worm draped in silk fabric, its body continuously emitting intense energy fluctuations.

“That Priest Worm was hit by a counterattack from a dying Second Ring Master; it’s probably suffering from internal backlash now,” Suogu whispered.

“Do we attack now?” Richard asked.

A cold light flashed in Suogu’s eyes, “The Priest Worm is currently suppressing its injuries, now is the best opportunity.”

Richard nodded and signaled Ali on the side.

The four Wizards pulled out their Magic Wands, preparing to ambush the group of insects. But just as they were about to make their move, the Priest Worm, which was suppressing its injuries, suddenly opened its eyes as if it sensed something.

This caused the four Wizards to immediately halt their actions.

There was a chasm between Level 1 Creatures and Second-level Creatures. Even though this Second-level Insect was severely injured, they still had to be cautious.

The Priest Worm plucked a mushroom from the ground and casually threw it down. The mushroom cap spun a couple of times on the ground, pointing directly in the direction of the four Wizards.

Then the Priest Worm touched a Black-armored Warrior Insect with its tentacles, speaking very calmly,

“There’s a monster approaching, right in the direction of the mushroom cap. Don’t look, don’t get nervous, follow my lead.”

The Black-armored Warrior Insect’s tentacles vibrated slightly, and it spoke in a low voice, “My lord, what shall we do?”

As a Warrior Insect, it did not question the decisions of the Priest Worm.

“The group of monsters doesn’t understand what we’re saying, so don’t get nervous,” the Priest Worm said calmly, “I’m injured and don’t have much strength. You guys adjust your positions, let the Spider Knights charge first, then follow up. Focus as much as possible on one monster.

These creatures in black robes are different from those in white robes; they have many methods and are cold-hearted towards their companions, but they value their own lives. If you quickly take down one, you should be able to scare them off.”

The Warrior Insect nodded, “I understand, my lord. But we are now in Mushroom Land; what if recklessly fighting angers the Spirit of Nature?”

“Hehe, don’t worry about that,” the Priest Worm shook its tentacles, its words imbued with profound mystery, “This is our world, and the World Spirit is on our side.

Under the attention of the World Spirit, even the Spirit of Nature has to give way.”

The Warrior Insect stood up and commanded several insects around to adjust their positions.

This move seemed somewhat inexplicable to the several Wizards, but soon, Richard, who excelled in close combat, noticed something.

The robust Spider Knights had suddenly adjusted to positions closest to them.

Richard took a silent step back, positioning Suogu as the foremost Wizard.

This distance would not hinder their ambush, but it would allow the Spider Knights to target Suogu first.

Richard faintly guessed what that sensation of being watched was.

They, the invaders… were probably already targeted by the World Origin’s will.
