I'm a mage, what's wrong with loving farming?

Chapter 97: Finding the Mining Ants and the Magic Tree
The poor queen ant has never experienced this feeling.

A third-level wizard, and a third-level wizard with a lot of cheats, cast magic on it, and it didn't have the slightest chance to resist.

Its spirit was almost instantly affected by Croa's power, sinking into the peaceful melody and hearing the latter's gentle voice -

"Help me, and I will give you plenty of food, a safe nest, and plenty of magic power."

The combination of natural communication and quiet serenade immediately presented a beautiful picture for the queen ant.

It was a nest filled with all kinds of food and magic ores. No need to worry about food and magic anymore, just help this generous mage find minerals and magic veins.

Just do this and you’ll get it!
The gentle voices continued to assault its consciousness, presenting those images directly before it.

How can a tiny queen ant withstand such temptation?
Survival of the fittest, even the magic insects will want to find a safe place to reproduce and live, and now such a place is right in front of us.

It quickly immersed itself in this wonderful scene, and gradually came up with an idea: Finding minerals! Finding minerals would allow the tribe to live and evolve more comfortably!

This desire was so strong that the pheromones it released were filled with this thought, infecting all the other gray demon ants around it.

So, it was just as Croix expected.

The same consciousness was simultaneously transmitted from the star spirits of the surrounding gray demon ants—

"Looking for mineral veins and magic veins!"

Although the consciousness of a single ant is very small, there are so many ants that even Cloya can feel their determination.

It's even a bit deafening.

A smile appeared on the wizard's face, he knew that his attempt was successful.

As he thought, he could really make them desire it through temptation and hypnosis, but... this method could probably only work against creatures with weak mental strength.

It may not even work against Warcraft.

Because the mental power of Warcraft is actually very difficult to influence and tame. If you want to instill your own thoughts into them, you must be several levels stronger than them.

Otherwise there wouldn’t be so many animal trainers.

The road is there, it’s difficult to walk on, but it’s possible.

Croa was already quite satisfied with this result.

He happily reached out and held the queen ant in his palm and began to imprint it.

This time when he was engraving, he used the magic pattern he learned from the coconut tree and superimposed it on the "mineral vein perception" given by the Star Realm Crystal Turtle.

The magic of one plus one is not that simple.

The combination and magic pattern structure inside... If he hadn't experimented in the Sea of ​​Virtual Moon, it would be really troublesome to do it this way.

The difficulty also increased sharply.

Even a wizard as skilled as Kloya was exhausted after completing this almost brand new magic mark.

This is just the beginning.

The next step is to engrave each ant individually, which is extremely painful. If the magic ants could not survive for a very long time, he really would not do this.

You can't work so hard to carve it, only to have the person die soon after. That would be really frustrating.

I didn't expect that the mark I was originally going to make was on bees and night-shining grass, but now it has been engraved on ants... It's really a coincidence.

I don’t know if the ants can satisfy him.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

Croa was so immersed in the pleasure of burning that he didn't notice the huge tentacle slime slowly approaching him.

Jamie covered his mouth and wanted to shout "Kloya" in fear, but was knocked down and drowned by several slimes.

The slimes blocked his mouth, and poor Jamie could only make "wooooooo" sounds.

He watched helplessly as the tentacle slime walked behind Cloya, who was resting with his eyes closed, and then... directly hugged the mage with its tentacles!
"!!!" Jamie showed a shocked expression and struggled hard to escape from the slime's restraints.

As a child who grew up on an island, he had seen many things and heard some somewhat evil legends.

This, could it be that the evil slime wants to...

He couldn't break free and could only close his eyes and pray.

What if I see something I shouldn’t see, will I be silenced?
"Ok?"

Croa, who was engraving a spell, felt something strange and caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye.

He saw that the huge slime was using its tentacles to tie up his body, allowing him to sit on the slime's soft, jelly-like body.

Honestly, it actually feels pretty good.

The weather at the seaside was already very hot, but suddenly I was hugged by a walking cool jelly sofa, and the hot feeling disappeared in an instant.

The only problem is...it's a little weird.

It looked like he was tied up by the tentacle slime and was about to be eaten in the next second.

After a little hesitation, he decisively ignored this abnormality and continued to concentrate on engraving magic.

As long as it’s comfortable, it’s fine. If it doesn’t look good… then it doesn’t look good.

Anyway, there is an apprentice Jamie here. Even if he is crazy, he would never dare to tell anyone.

With the help of the slime's Motion Cooling, Kroya's speed of engraving magic increased a lot. He had no intention of engraving magic on all the gray magic ants at once.

Instead, they carefully selected one hundred of the strongest worker ants.

The sun in the sky gradually tilted from noon, and the bright sunshine was replaced by some dim sunlight. The air was also filled with smoke and the smell of cooking.

From noon to evening.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, the engraving was complete.

[Marking successful, Gray Demon Ant·Tentacle (Mineral Vein Sensing·Modified)]

[This magic will undergo some changes, and the Gray Demon Ant's form will change. ]

After the prompt, the antennae of the gray magic ants he selected began to undergo some very obvious changes: they became longer, and magic power was attached to them, blue and beautiful. The queen ant that was first imprinted with magic also changed.

It also grew long tentacles, but these tentacles were a bit exaggerated and exceeded the length of its body.

The blue lights on those tentacles flickered at the same frequency.

The reminder sounded again——

[Gray Demon Ants can use their antennae to detect possible mineral veins/magic veins in the surrounding area. The more Gray Demon Ants that have "Mineral Vein Perception·Modified", the wider the perception range.]

[You can feed them magic of different attributes and let them search for a certain attribute/type of mineral vein/magic vein. ]

[When there is a queen ant present, the range will be increased by 100%. ]

The gray demon ants that had been marked were suddenly stunned.

They all rushed towards a certain location, then started digging together, and soon disappeared underground.

"Ah? Is there a mineral vein?"

Kloya watched their movements, observing silently while sensing with his mental power.

A minute later, he felt the joy of the gray demon ants and immediately felt that something was wrong.

The Star Crystal Turtle has searched the island before, but there are no mineral veins at all. How come you can still find them?

Are you more powerful than the Crystal Turtle?
He walked over suspiciously and poured his power into the earth.

"Let me see what's there!"

The earth suddenly began to churn, and the soil seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a hole gradually appeared.

In the center of the pothole, there is a...

Crystalline pipes.

When Cloya saw this thing, his heart suddenly tightened. He glanced at Jamie next to him and gave an order to the slime.

The latter immediately tied up Jamie with his tentacles, put him on his body, covered his eyes and took him away.

It's obvious that this is a human creation, and the style of this crystal tube gives me the feeling that it was left by a wizard. No matter what's deeper inside, it's not something Jamie can see.

Letting Slime take him away is for his own good. What if he accidentally sees something he shouldn't see? Should he be killed to silence him or be killed to silence him?

After sending Jamie away, he walked to the front of the pit and began to dig the soil around the pipe using the Mage Hand and Earthshaping.

As the soil was continuously dug, what emerged from it once again surprised him.

That...creature that looked like a crystal pipe was actually just a special situation formed by chance. Buried deep in the soil was a strange tree-like object.

The shapes of its branches are different, some are thick, some are thin, some are smooth, and some are twisted, but they all stand out in the way one wishes.

It is a protruding branch that forms the shape of a crystal tube.

There are also a lot of mosses growing on its surface.

The light blue mosses are translucent and have obvious characteristics of elemental magic plants.

He stared.

Demonic Field Moss - Astral Body Engraving Technique gave this answer.

On the contrary, the strange tree is not shown.

This means that it is neither a magical beast nor a magical plant.

It's a bit like...

"The method of the magic field?" Kloya frowned.

After he completely dug out this strange "tree", he became more certain that this thing should be a creation of the magic field method.

Because at the root of the tree, there is a crystal clear magic crystal.

It was a four-sided magic crystal, with different magic patterns engraved on each face. They intertwined with each other and covered the entire magic crystal.

The magic pattern is somewhat similar to the magic field method that Kloya learned.

Obviously, it was this magic crystal that provided energy and then formed this three-meter-high tree - this should not be called the magic field method, it would be more appropriate to call it the magic tree method.

Croa was overjoyed.

A brand new method of magic field!
He couldn't wait to walk to the root of the tree, carefully examining the magic crystal that extended from the branches, and memorizing the magic patterns engraved on it.

This is a brand new magic field method, and its value is simply priceless.

To be honest, although he had the Magic Field Grapevine, he didn't know the formation principle of the Magic Field Grapevine, so he always wanted to replicate one himself.

The method of the magic field is the goal he intends to study.

If the magic field method could be engraved on the seeds or rhizomes of a magic plant, could it also grow into a special magic plant similar to the magic field vines?
Although it is definitely not as smart as the magic field vines, it is still a way after all.

A road that is under his control is much better than buying things at the Shengquan Chamber of Commerce.

He watched for a while, and stopped only when he felt dizzy and exhausted.

The magic patterns on it are really too complicated. It is almost impossible to study them thoroughly in one go.

"I can only move it back first and put it in the laboratory for research." He sighed. Fortunately, this thing can be put into the shell magic weapon, otherwise it will be a hassle to move it.

It was estimated that this thing should have been left by the great wizard Eurydice. Apart from him, Cloya couldn't think of anyone else who possessed this magical power.

But why this thing grows here... I don't know.

The only question is, are there any more?

Is there really only one?
