Wizard Earl

Chapter 212 Wraith Monster!!!

As Connor's banner was planted into the reeds, a layer of light immediately rose from the water below, a sign that the magic circle had been activated. Seeing this, Connor remained calm, made a hand seal, and cast a smoke spell. A layer of white mist immediately rose from the swamp. The mist was so thick that it was difficult for outsiders to detect anything. Since this was a reed bed by the lake, outsiders would not suspect anything!

Connor continued casting his spell, and the light waves in the water shrouded in white mist became increasingly brilliant. If it weren't for the white mist, people from afar might have thought they had discovered some rare treasure and flocked to it. Of course, if the magic circle under the reeds really did hide the magic stone mine that Connor had been looking for, then it would truly be a great treasure!

As Connor continued to cast his spell, the light waves from the magic circle under the reeds changed from brilliant to restrained. Before long, holes appeared on the surface of the water. Seeing this, a smile appeared on Connor's lips, and he gave Avilova a sharp look.

Seeing Connor's gaze, Avirova took a deep breath and jumped into the hole.

After Avirova jumped in, the hole on the water surface slowly closed, and the reed marsh returned to calm. Seeing this, Connor took out a crystal ball from his spatial ring.

With his palm stroking the crystal ball, Connor slowly chanted a spell. Under Connor's spell, a scene appeared in the crystal ball. In the scene, Avilova, whom Connor regarded as a suicide squad, was carefully walking in a tunnel. The tunnel was full of magic stone minerals such as black tungsten ore!

Connor squinted, carefully examining the contents of the scene. How could he, who was always so cautious, have so easily let Avilova go and scout ahead? In the past few days, besides studying the magic array under the reeds, he had been refining the necklace he wore around Avilova's neck.

The thought of Avilova's necklace brought a pang of pain to Connor's face. To meet his requirements, Connor had used a lot of high-quality alchemical materials to forge it into a level-one enchanted item. One of the functions of this item was to connect it to the crystal ball Connor was currently holding, allowing him to see what was happening below even outside the magic circle. And all of this happened without Avilova's knowledge.

The crystal ball showed a dark tunnel with a bumpy road. Avilova walked through it with a solemn expression, proceeding cautiously.

Seeing this, Connor couldn't help but feel a little confused. Although the crystal could show him the scene, it was just a scene. Things like energy fluctuations couldn't be shown in the scene. Judging from Avilova's facial expression and her movements as if she was ready to cast a spell, Avilova must have sensed danger from this tunnel.

"Da da da da..."

For some reason, a strange sound rang out from inside the tunnel, which immediately caught the attention of Averova inside the tunnel and Connor in front of the crystal ball.

Averova reacted decisively, casting a spell to summon countless small green snakes in front of her. These snakes quickly wriggled and solidified, forming a snake shield that blocked Averova's path.

Observing Averova's movements through the crystal ball, Connor gripped the crystal ball even tighter. Connor knew that Averova's mental power must have sensed something, otherwise she would never act this way.

Connor and Avilova didn't have to wait long. A large skeleton with green flames in its eyes staggered out of the tunnel. Judging from its skeleton, it should have been a human before it died, but... have you ever seen a person who is two meters tall and one meter wide?

"A vengeful spirit monster?" Connor frowned upon seeing the large skeleton. Although a vengeful spirit monster and an ordinary vengeful spirit are only two words apart, their strengths are vastly different. Vengeful spirits crave flesh, and a vengeful spirit monster is an entity that possesses a body. However, the vengeful spirit monster that appeared in front of Connor was clearly different from the ordinary one; it possessed a skeleton!

Upon seeing Averova wielding the snake shield, the giant skeleton's green flames intensified, doubling in size. It muttered haltingly, filled with hatred, "Wizard...die!...die! Wizard...die!"

In the end, the giant skeleton suddenly pounced on Averova. Averova's awareness was quite good, and she was prepared in advance. Before the giant skeleton could actually hit her, she had already dodged and countless green lights slashed towards the giant skeleton!

Unfortunately, Avilova's dodge was perfect, but the green light slash that hit the giant skeleton did not cause any effective damage to the giant skeleton at all, only leaving a few green marks on the giant skeleton's pale bones!

The attacked giant skeleton became even angrier, the green flames in its eye sockets burned even more fiercely, and with a roar, countless bone spikes burst forth from its body and shot towards Avilova!

The snake shield in front of Averova showed great intelligence, and under Averova's command, it blocked all the bone spikes that were shot at him.

Connor, standing beside the crystal ball, squinted as he carefully observed everything. He was quite generous, releasing some of Averova's magic power. Now, Averova's magic power was roughly equivalent to that of a junior wizard apprentice.

After blocking the wave of bone spikes, Avilova showed no signs of relief. Instead, she immediately dodged away, but it was too late. The massive body of the vengeful monster skeleton had already charged forward and slammed into Avilova!

"Bang!"

Avilova and her snake shield couldn't withstand the impact and were slammed into the tunnel by the enormous force. A trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Avilova didn't have time to treat her injuries and quickly dodged to the side again. The next instant, the spot where Avilova had just been was once again crushed by the giant skeleton!

Although she dodged the giant skeleton's attack, Avilova was in a very bad state. It was clear that she had multiple injuries and could only parry the giant skeleton's crushing force. Seeing this, Connor raised an eyebrow and with a thought, a layer of light immediately appeared on the necklace Avilova wore around her neck in the tunnel, protecting Avilova and temporarily blocking the pursuit of the vengeful monster, the giant skeleton.
