Chapter 111: Invulnerable to Swords and Guns, Invulnerable to Water and Fire

The curtain of flames bloomed and spread violently at lightning speed, creating unimaginable high temperature and high pressure in an extremely short moment.

Destroy and destroy.

The earth was cracked and dried by the flames, and countless millipedes withered and burned in an instant. The crackling sound of frying beans lasted only three to five seconds before returning to calm.

The fire dissipated, and wisps of black smoke broke through the cracked surface, whistling like a whistle.

The flames destroyed the insect swarms on the surface in one fell swoop, and also killed all the millipedes dormant underground. The high temperature distorted the air, and toxic gases from the burning were everywhere.

Wayne raised his hand and waved, and a strong wind blew the toxic gas high into the sky, cooling down the hot air at the same time.

The four earth walls fell apart, and he jumped onto the roof of the car. He glanced at Bishop Keith who was holding the Bible, and said to Darcy, "You are the person in charge of the church's base in Jianhe County, the third-level deacon Darcy?"

"Yes, I am Darcy, may I ask who you are, Excellency?"

Darcy's face was still filled with shock, as he marveled at Wayne's powerful elemental affinity, as well as his unimaginable thinking and magic.

When the magician reaches the Silver Cross stage, his control of elemental magic is no longer limited by the amount of the four elements stored in his body. At this stage, the Silver Mage can directly mobilize the four elements free in nature through his thoughts and magic power, and his own strength has taken a big step forward and has been significantly improved.

This is not surprising since Darcy is a silver mage.

What is scary is contrast. Without contrast, there is no harm, and without contrast, the gap cannot be shown.

The fire magic released by Wayne is powerful and has incredible destructive power. This not only requires extremely huge magic power as a backing, but also requires a strong mind to control and shape it.

Without a strong mind, the fire magic just now would not be able to kill the insect swarm quickly and effectively, and the bus would definitely be affected.

The fact that Wayne released magic with a huge coverage in a short period of time proved that his elemental affinity was extraordinary.

Thinking, magic power, elemental affinity, omnipotent like a monster!

The above is Darcy’s inference, which cannot be said to be wrong. After all, this is common sense.

He just overestimated Wayne's level. The latter did not have the magical attainments of the Silver Cross, and the hexagram had not yet been officially connected.

Wayne is able to achieve this because of his daily meditation. He has been sticking to the small goal of communicating with nature.

Communicate with the sky, the earth, and every part of nature, and gain recognition from nature. With the same thinking and magic power, the destructive power caused by magic is incomparable.

Wayne hasn't succeeded yet, but he has seen the signs of success, and the fire magic just now is the best evidence.

Of course, it is currently limited to fire. Without meditation, he can only seduce the fire element.

Back to the point, Wayne gave his name and showed the anti-counterfeiting certificate of the Church of Nature, saying, "I came here from Lundan today. I was delayed on the way. When I arrived at the base, I learned that you were invited to the South Sword River County to investigate the insect plague. I suspected that the matter was not that simple, so I came to take a look."

"Master Musi."

Darcy called out respectfully.

Some time ago, I learned that a leader was parachuted into the headquarters of Lundan. He didn't say anything, but he was somewhat resentful in his heart. He was not seen and did not do his job. He was just a gilded scoundrel.

They are all mixed up, so it’s okay for him to do it.

Now I don’t think so. He really can’t do it.

The black car drove over and Andre's appearance once again proved Wayne's identity.

The bus was swaying on the road, and it seemed that something had broken down. Black smoke was billowing out. The group of people who had escaped death looked curiously at the black luxury car in front of them.

People worship the strong, and this is especially true in the extraordinary world.

Wayne gained a group of supporters as soon as he arrived in Jianhe County, which was much better than the effect of a new official making three quick moves upon taking office. In the future, when he goes on business trips or further studies, he doesn't need to speak in person, as someone will take the initiative to explain for him.

In the black car, Andre continued to act as the driver, Bishop Keith sat in the passenger seat holding the Bible, and Wayne and Darcy sat in the back seat.

"It has nothing to do with the fog. It's a black magician..."

After understanding the whole story, Wayne took out a glass jar from his arms. There were several millipedes in it. He collected them on the way here and planned to send them back to the headquarters in London as samples.

"The black magician planned to keep us here to silence us. If his plan fails, he will most likely escape from Nanjianhe County. It won't be so easy to catch him next time." Darcy shook his head.

The black magician is a wanted criminal in the magic world. He roams around and commits crimes without a fixed place to live. He moves to a new place after each shot and is harder to catch than a rabbit.

Wayne frowned when he heard this. Although the insect plague was effectively controlled and timely management did not cause irreparable impact, it was really unpleasant that the mastermind escaped and was not caught.

I couldn't sleep well at night because I failed to eradicate all the evil.

"Maybe there's still a chance."

Bishop Keith, who had been silent the whole time, expressed his opinion: "We were a group of more than ten people investigating the insect plague, and the black magician quickly came to kill us. In addition to being guilty, his own strength was not enough to deal with the powerful magician of Lundan, which can also prove two speculations."

"First, he monitored our actions. Nanjianhe County is so large that it is impossible for him to observe every aspect. It can only mean that we happened to pass by his lair when we were investigating."

"Secondly, he spent a lot of effort to transform the millipede, and he couldn't move his nest in a short time. He didn't want to waste his efforts in vain, so he took the risk and hunted us down."

Bishop Keith's reasoning was logical, and Wayne had also thought of it, but unfortunately, the black magician never showed up from beginning to end, and he might have been scared away.

Wayne put himself in the villain's shoes. If he were a black magician, when his own strength was insufficient and he was exposed, he would definitely flee far away to save his life before thinking about other things.

On the other side, Darcy followed Keith's reasoning and suddenly thought of something: "Keith, remember that rancher? I remember him saying that the insect plague in the neighboring village had reached the point where the insects were gnawing at the corpses, and the cattle shed in the ranch was also harassed by the insect swarm."

"You mean, the black magician's lair is in the village next to the ranch?"

"Yes, if we rush over now, we might be able to catch him." Darcy looked at Wayne, waiting for his decision.

"Turn around. If you can't catch him alive, leave the body behind!"

----

The air was filled with mist, and houses were scattered on both sides of the road.

There were few lights in the village and it was unusually quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs and no other sounds. Because of the insect plague, the villagers went home early and the usual entertainment activities were forced to stop.

The mist is emitted from the millipedes and carries mild toxins. Dozens or hundreds of millipedes will not have much impact, but once they form a certain scale, they will not be so friendly to humans living nearby.

The symptoms of poisoning are drowsiness, fatigue and easy exhaustion. If this continues for a long time, the toxins will penetrate into the bone marrow and their flesh and blood will become the most delicious delicacy for the insects.

To the southeast of the village, there is an abandoned barn.

The barn had fallen into disrepair and one corner had collapsed. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds, and apart from a very small number of adulterers, few people were interested in the area.

Recently, people feel even less tired and sleepy, and all stress-relieving activities that are beneficial to physical and mental health have been suspended.

Millipedes built a nest under the barn. The dark and humid environment is suitable for them to reproduce and thrive. Rustling sounds can be heard crawling past. At the end of the nest, a door blocks the light.

The dark and narrow wormhole is only wide enough for one person to pass through by bending over. After passing through a wooden door, the laboratory inside becomes much more spacious.

In the ten square meters, except for a laboratory table and a chair, the rest of the space is filled with bottles and jars.

The life of a black magician is not easy. Everyone wants to kill him, and there are bounty hunters eyeing their heads.

But the black magicians themselves do not think so. They have lofty pursuits and disdain to be in the same boat with secular people. They call themselves pioneers of freedom who break the shackles and gain happiness and satisfaction in the ancient alchemy.

The black magicians firmly believed that the reason they were excluded was not because of their bloody and cruel methods, but because the truth they pursued broke the monopoly of the inherent class and the vulgar people in the magic world were jealous of their talent.

Quinton is such a black magician. He was originally an entomologist at Cam River University. He was obsessed with insects and discovered infinite potential in them. He firmly believed that insects were the masters of nature.

Especially the arthropods that have existed since ancient times. They are ancient, mysterious and extremely charming.

Quinton's research on insects reached the point of neglecting food and sleep. As a researcher who has transcended vulgar interests, his research does not make money and it is difficult for him to apply for funding. He has persisted for many years only because of his love.

Until one day, a mysterious man came to Quinton who was in financial difficulty. The mysterious man did not provide any funds, but only gave him an alchemy book and a half-human, half-insect statue.

Quinton gained knowledge from alchemy and magic from the idol, which polluted his mind and made him like dark environments like insects. He focused on the study of millipedes and built his own laboratory in Nanjianhe County, trying to use alchemy to revive the millipedes of ancient times.

The bottles and jars contained all the failed experiments. However, due to an accidental heavy fog, Quinton's experiment achieved a breakthrough.

He successfully created two types of millipedes.

One has amazing reproductive ability. Due to the heavy fog, it has undergone a mutation of unknown significance, and can secrete fog on its own.

The other is huge in size, with an invulnerable shell and amazing strength and bite force.

The first type of millipede caused an insect plague in Nanjianhe County, and the experiment was very successful. The second type was not so lucky. It needed constant nourishment from fog, otherwise it would soon die.

In order to protect his masterpiece and to make himself closer to perfection, Quinton came up with an extremely crazy idea after offering sacrifices to the statue.

He used alchemy to combine himself and the bug into one whole.

The experiment was very successful. After repeated transformations, Quinton transplanted the millipede's limbs and trunk onto his own body and gained the ability to control the insect swarm.

At this moment, he looked like a half-human, half-insect statue. He gained more power from the mist and believed that his life had been sublimated. He became more obsessed with insects.

Afterwards, Quinton met the mysterious man again, who praised his new life and reminded him to hide himself.

The mysterious man introduced the magical world, a rotten world with long and complicated rules.

Quinton's new life destroyed the possibility of evolution and would inevitably be opposed by vulgar people, especially the magician who claimed to be righteous. Once the other party came to him, all his experimental results would be burned.

Quinton received the warning, kept a low profile and never made any big moves, focusing all his attention on research.

Until today, a group of more than ten people have launched an investigation into the insect plague.

Unlike the previous entomologists, these people are from the magical world. If they are not silenced, they will definitely attract more attention.

Then, Quinton's plan to silence the witnesses failed, and more than half of his children died. He ignored the heartache and hurriedly moved the laboratory.

"Number 584, the only remaining sample, extremely valuable, must not be lost."

"No. 001, this is the initial experimental sample. It is of great significance and cannot be abandoned."

"No. 6921, a very mature sample, there are further research projects..."

"Special Sample Number SSNI..."

After counting them one by one, Quinton found that he couldn't move them. The laboratory carried his hard work, and every bottle and jar was a treasure. There was no distinction between good and bad, and all were priceless.

boom! ! !
Suddenly, the ground shook and the laboratory began to shake violently.

The containers containing the samples were smashed to pieces, the formaldehyde solution flowed everywhere, and the samples that he regarded as treasures were scattered all over the floor.

Quinton was confused, so he switched his perspective to the swarm of insects outside the barn. He found that the ground was rumbling and a woven web of vines had dug the entire laboratory out of the ground.

The magician is here!
Quinton felt no fear. Looking at the collapsed laboratory, he only felt unspeakable anger in his heart. He growled and controlled the swarm of insects to launch a relentless attack on the intruders.

The familiar flames scorched the sky, the high temperature distorted the air, and the dry and hot environment made the insect swarm feel very uncomfortable. They twisted and curled up until they dried up and burned.

Several millipedes over three meters in size emerged from the ground. They were the strongest guards of the laboratory, invulnerable to swords and guns, with immense strength. They were the top predators from ancient times that Quinton had resurrected.

Facts have proved that invulnerability to swords and guns does not mean immunity to water and fire. Even the top predators in ancient times were afraid of fire.

Under the targeted attack of the flames, the giant millipede's cuticle cracked, and its pairs of tentacles burned red and charred. Within a few seconds, the expanding gas hissed out of its body, and it curled up and burned into ashes.

"Look what you've done, bastard!"

Quinton rushed out of the collapsed laboratory, his red eyes locked on the vulgar man, his chest puffed up, and he breathed hot air from his mouth.

What is this, a person, a bug?

It’s so evil!
The lower half of Quinton's body was replaced by the limbs of a millipede. The high temperature burned the white coat he was wearing. On both sides of his chest and abdomen, the tentacles moved, making a rustling sound from the friction.

Wayne's scalp tingled as he watched the scene. The scene was so shocking that he got goose bumps all over his body.

He could accept tentacles, but not bugs, especially bugs that were enlarged and then combined with humans. He waved his hand and rolled up a large vine, which wrapped around Quinton and slammed him to the ground.

"Hey, it's over so soon?"

"The villain this time is so weak!"

The fight was over in a short moment, it couldn't even be called a fight. Wayne came to the house and demolished it and set it on fire. He violently destroyed the homeowner's hard work and slapped him in the face.

After the battle, Darcy and Keith led their men into the field to clean up the mess.

They cleaned up the laboratory, packed up the well-preserved instruments and took them away. As for the rest, since they knew nothing about insects and couldn't tell which samples were important or not, they picked out some of the odd-shaped ones and burned the rest.

Soon, a magician unearthed the most significant discovery of this trip.

Statue of God!

The statue is half human, half insect, and very similar to Quinton. This attracted the close attention of Bishop Keith, who studied the statue repeatedly for a while and confirmed that it was an evil god from hell.

"Thousand-Eyed Demon!"

"???"

A string of question marks flashed across Wayne's mind. Bishop, have you seen it wrong? Where did the thousand eyes come from? It's more like a thousand-legged demon.

Hell is the mortal enemy of heaven. When it comes to the evil god of hell, Bishop Keith is a professional and Wayne has no right to question it.

He was just curious. The black magician believed in the evil god of hell and caused an insect plague in Nanjianhe County. Bishop Keith invited Darcy to investigate...

Is it possible that Keith knew that there were believers of the evil god in the local area and was worried that he was not capable enough, so he and Ladasi found someone to take the blame?

"Pastor Wayne, this incident involves the belief in evil gods. Can the black magician and the statue of the evil god be handed over to our Heavenly Father Church for safekeeping?" Keith looked at Wayne solemnly.

Wayne waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Of course, I can, but I have to consult the headquarters in Lundan first and get their approval."

No problem at all, let’s go through the process!
Keith watched the statue being carried onto the bus, and circled around Wayne several times. Seeing that the latter left no room for him, he turned to find Darcy.

Keith: Good brother, help me.

Darcy: Who is talking to your brother, you pagan? Don't speak so casually. Don't you see my leader is right next to us?

……

That night.

The group returned to Jianhe City safely.

Keith contacted the Diocese of Lendan immediately and explained the whole story of the Thousand-Eyed Demon and the evil god statue. Now the statue was detained by the Church of Nature and he had no ability to get it back. He hoped that the archbishop would send someone to deal with it.

In addition, after this night, the incident that had previously been investigated fruitlessly was pinned down on the Thousand-Eyed Demon. The dean was right, and the belief in an evil god was spreading within Jianhe University.

"Bishop Keith, the priest of the Natural Church in Jianhe County is named Wayne, right?"

"Yes."

"Very good, you can ask him to assist in the investigation. No matter what his request is, whether it is excessive or not, you must satisfy him and make sure he accepts the commission."

"why……"

"Don't ask questions, just follow your orders."
