In addition to investigating the abnormality, Ivan did not delay his own business. He successively comprehended the 21st to 24th meditation runes. The basic chapter of the meditation method "Black Beard Song" has a total of 40 meditation runes. Starting from the 21st, each rune corresponds to scales of mental power, and ends at the 30th rune. He analyzed that the last 10 runes should each correspond to scales of mental power. After he outlined the first 24 runes in his mind at once, he took the third magic crystal water, and his mental power increased by scales to scales. In recent days, he also learned the spell "Mage's Hand" and was analyzing the "Immobilization Spell". These two spells are actually the same spell, both based on the fine manipulation and shaping of mental power, similar to the several spells he learned before. Time passed day by day, and it had been eleven days since they arrived at Swamp Forest City. Recently, Swamp Forest City has become calm. No one went crazy, no wild beasts attacked, and the city seemed to have paused. This was a very strange thing. For the apprentices who rushed over, it was like a heavy punch hitting cotton. In this situation, they guessed that there might be two reasons, either they came at an untimely time, or someone was behind the scenes. If it was the latter, the problem would undoubtedly be more troublesome. Ivan thought that such a day was not bad, anyway, he was forced to make up the numbers.
He then took the last magic crystal water, which had little effect, only increasing his mental power by scales. Now his mental power has reached scales, corresponding to the first 26 meditation runes. In terms of spells, he learned the immobilization spell and the thorn strangulation, and was thinking about the earth vine spell. Thorn strangulation, casting time 3 seconds, distance 12 meters, consumption: 2 points of spirit, 2 points of mana; strength 6-8 scales, can be up to 10 scales using spell materials. Thorn strangle is actually an advanced spell of vine entanglement. After casting, two thorny vines will appear, entangle the enemy and strangle them at the same time. Earth vine spell combines earth element particles and can summon multiple vines from the ground. The type of vine depends on what plants are in the ground in front. The casting distance is up to 13 meters, and the spell strength is between 6 and 8 scales. With experience in learning vine entanglement, he learned these two spells quickly. That night, the two teams met as usual to discuss follow-up matters. "There is nothing unusual in the city." "No unusual places were found outside the field." Heidi looked at the hunting team with suspicion in their eyes. It is well known that the hunting team is good at tracking. These people go out early and come back late every day. Now they say that there is no clue at all, which is really hard to believe. Walban smiled bitterly and said, "In recent days, even the demonized beasts in the jungle have become less manic. I suspect someone is manipulating everything." "I'm afraid so." After a pause, Heidi made a decision: "I decided to take people to Stone Creek Town." Wolban said, "What about Swamp Forest City? It's best to leave one or two people to guard it." "You stay." Heidi looked at the other three people in the enchantment team and fixed her eyes on Ivan. Ivan was eating melons, but he didn't expect that the melon would fall on him. He frowned slightly, and nodded after a moment of silence. The next day. The hunting team had left the city, and the three people in the enchantment team were also preparing to go to Stone Creek Town.
Gina suggested: "Why don't I stay too? It's better to have one more person to take care of it." "No, the matter in Stone Creek Town is of great importance. I need enough manpower." Her proposal was rejected by Heidi. Heidi turned to Ivan and told him, "You are too weak to help. It is safer to stay in the city. Remember to pay attention to whether there are any suspicious people." Gina was helpless and signaled her junior brother to be careful. Without waiting for Ivan to answer, Heidi took the two away. "Who does this woman look down on! Stone Creek Town, is there anything special about this place?" Looking at the departing back, Ivan recalled the situation in Stone Creek Town, which seemed to be nothing special. It is not ruled out that his information is too narrow. He did not stay in his residence, but wandered around the city as usual. If he didn't want to wander around, he would just find a store to rest. The city has been quiet for so many days, and many businesses can't help but open their doors for business. In a restaurant, Ivan sat on the side by the window. He noticed someone peeking around and found that it was the little beggar he had seen not long ago. He signaled the other party to come over. Little Qiguai hesitated for a moment and ran to him carefully. "Didn't find food again?" The little beggar nodded and shook his head. He mustered up the courage to say: "Sir, if I tell you something, can you give me some food?" "Oh, do you know what I want to find?" "Yeah." "Tell me, I'll ask the owner to give some food." "One night, our leader sneaked out. He had never gone out at night before. He didn't come back until dawn the next day. He seemed to have forgotten what happened that night. He kept complaining that he didn't sleep well at night and was very sleepy and tired." "Where's your leader?" "Gone. He never came back after sneaking out the second time. Sir, I swear that every word I said is true. I'm definitely not lying to cheat for food." As promised, Ivan asked the owner to give the little beggar some food. The little beggar ran away carefully holding the food. "This method is like putting a spell on people." Ivan thought thoughtfully. If the little beggar's words were correct, then there must be a large number of controlled people lurking in the Swamp Forest City, and the actions of the two teams must have fallen into the eyes of the people behind the scenes. I am in the light, and the enemy is in the dark, so I have to be more careful. "My lord, it appeared." In the afternoon, the city lord's eldest son Naxi hurriedly found Ivan and brought a message. Ivan asked them to lead the way and talked about the situation while walking. "What's going on?" "Someone went crazy again, a whole mercenary group, my father and the guards have already rushed over." Swamp Forest City has been silent for a long time. In fact, the city lord and his son are more anxious. They know that several wizard apprentices will not stay for long. Once they miss them, they can only deal with various changes by themselves, which is not what they want. Today, only one wizard apprentice was left in the city, which made the city lord and his son even more helpless and worried. Fortunately, the change finally appeared, and they were more happy than surprised.
After receiving the news, the city lord immediately asked Naxi to come and notify. When the two arrived nearby, the people nearby had already become frightened birds. When something happened, they immediately closed their doors and windows, leaving only a messy street, but several people still died on the street before they could escape. "Kill!" "Stop them, stop them, don't let them run away." "The city lord said they want them alive, be careful not to get hurt by them." As a medium-sized city, its own defense force is not weak. Following the noisy sound, the two arrived at the location of the incident. The crazy people were being forced back to the yard of the station by the guards with shields. There were as many as 20 to 30 people. "Sir, these are all sick people. Do you think you should capture them alive?" Seeing Ivan coming, the city lord Simmons breathed a sigh of relief and went to meet him with his personal guards. "Let's see what happens." Ivan waved his hand and took a few steps forward, carefully looking at the crazy mercenaries not far away. These mercenaries seemed to have been blinded by something, and one by one they turned into beasts that only knew how to destroy, trying to rush out of the guards' encirclement. He noticed a subtle pattern in the mercenary's eyes, similar to the lines on the heads of wild animals. It turned out that it would only appear when a person went crazy. Suddenly, Ivan sensed a hint of fatal danger, which came from behind him.
