This wizard is just unscientific

Chapter 87 The Wriggling Layers!

"Bang!"

As the last struggling bone-eating bird fell to Tucker's sorcery.

The battle has come to an end.

At this time.

All eyes in the squad silently turned to Tucker.

Previously, when their team was the first to enter the Demon King's Tomb, they were held to the highest expectations.

They still had some doubts.

Are we really that amazing?

And now the results are in.

Not only that.

Moreover, the team's overall strength is ridiculously high.

Wizard Tucker!

The extremely dangerous flock of bone-eating birds was dealt with using only a simple shooting spell.

That superb high-frequency aiming and astonishing lethality.

It was simply an artful spectacle of carnage.

If it were up to them, they might be able to solve it themselves, but it would definitely consume a lot of their resources and even result in some personnel losses.

The group scrutinized Tucker, each of them seemingly lost in thought.

Tucker was scrutinizing the bone-eating birds that he was shooting one by one.

"These elite Bone-Eating Birds are all around level 28 or 29."

"The ordinary Bone-Eating Bird is in the level range of 25 to 27."

"Generally speaking, it's impossible for the levels to be so evenly distributed."

"So..."

Tucker looked around at the darkness and the oppressive atmosphere unique to the tomb's ecosystem.

"It is the upper limit of the tomb's extraordinary ecology that restrains the level of these creatures."

"Small extraordinary ecosystems cannot accommodate the emergence of higher-level life forms."

"In other words..."

Tucker's eyes narrowed slightly.

"The leader-level life forms here, if you're lucky, might be level 30 or 31."

"If you're unlucky, you'll only reach level 29."

"A leader at the peak of the second tier, roughly at the early stage of the third tier."

"Hunting... still holds quite a chance."

Aside from the core objective of touching the second level of the Demon King's tomb.

Those leaders were also the main targets of Tucker's hunting.

Even in Saint Rand, such a prosperous and extraordinary city-state.

Leader-level materials are extremely expensive and rare.

"Currently, we haven't sensed any action from the Church of the Dark Sun in this matter."

"In addition, the other teams landed at different locations than us because of the difference in their entry time."

Relying on his powerful and precise vision, Tucker continuously captured information about the surrounding patterns and trajectories.

In this environment of darkness and mist.

With its SSS-level precision correction, Tucker gains access to more information, which is its advantage.

Soon, Banov collected the extraordinary crystals that the Bone-Eating Bird had shed upon its death.

Marcus and Raymond, who had been drawing fire and were slightly injured, have fully recovered after being treated by the priest.

"9 elite crystals, 24 ordinary crystals."

"A pretty good result."

Banov publicly counted and stored the spoils.

He then continued, "This colony of bone-eating birds may have a leader."

"But the habitat of the bone-eating bird is very strange; it is located on a cliff face with a complex network of caves."

"Going in will definitely take a lot of time, and we're not sure if there's a Bone-Eating Bird leader there, or if there's a Demon King's Tree there."

At this point, Banov looked at Captain Gudal.

Gudal, however, looked at Tucker.

"There shouldn't be a leader!"

Tucker responded calmly, making his stance clear.

Gudar withdrew his gaze, slowly scanning over the team members before speaking.

"According to the intelligence we have, the Demon King's Tomb is a dynamic maze with stacked layers."

"So when we entered, our landing points were not quite the same."

"Now our team is complete."

"Then we need to enter the Demon King's Tomb labyrinth as soon as possible in order to find the Demon King characteristics we need."

At this point, Gudal looked at Horney.

"Can you determine the direction for further investigation?"

Reverend Horney looked at the lantern in his hand, stared at it for a moment, and then nodded: "It's fine."

"That's good."

Gudar took a deep breath and looked at everyone.

"The Demon King's Tomb is permeated with the characteristics of [Darkness] and [Mist]."

"Everyone must keep up with Horney's lights."

"Once you fall into darkness, you will completely lose your way."

"By then, it will be too late for us to get it back."

"Even the outer perimeter is teeming with extraordinary creatures like the Bone-Eating Birds, which keep us extremely busy."

"Going deeper in will only... make it more and more dangerous."

Gudar's words cast a solemn expression on everyone's face.

After all, this is the tomb of a powerful demon king sealed away by many powerful wizards.

Although the level of the extraordinary creatures here is not very high.

But the bizarre ecosystem here could easily devour them if they're not careful.

"in addition!"

Gudal looked at Tucker.

"Tucker, you walk behind."

"No problem!" Tucker glanced at the darkness out of the corner of his eye and nodded slightly.

In the depths of darkness, in places where no light shines, something is secretly watching them.

If others walk behind, they might just disappear along the way.

With Tucker behind, at least no one will inexplicably fall behind.

Soon, everyone had rested and prepared.

Centered on the light of Reverend Horney's lantern.

In the darkness, begin to explore further and leave some marks.

……

In contrast to Tucker's team, they began to explore the Demon King's tomb in a more stable manner.

The other team members weren't so lucky.

Even with corresponding intelligence support.

Some people still got lost in the darkness as soon as they entered, becoming separated from the group.

Some unlucky ones even stumbled right into the monster's lair and died in despair.

The Demon King constructed a vast, layered labyrinthine tomb before his fall.

Hundreds of years after his death.

It began to devour the lives of these intruders once again.

Just like the ancient Dark Ages.

Those fearless warriors defied the demon king's axe with their own heads.

…………

In the darkness of progress.

Peristalsis in spatial layers.

This causes the entire tomb world to tremble periodically.

The layers of the demon king who had long since fallen had been continuously built, and the tomb had long since become a magical little world.

I wonder if others can see those small, constantly shifting tiers.

But Tucker could see it very clearly.

Each peristalsis of the tomb's spatial layers.

Swamps, plateaus, mountain ridges, glaciers, cave towns...

The different terrains and landforms of different layers gradually unfolded before Tucker's eyes.

This made Tucker marvel at the incredible power of the Demon King's methods.

One moment it was a gravel road, and after a few steps it turned into a muddy swamp.

There are even some blood-sucking worms in the swamp.

Raymond Corey, the berserker in the team, was particularly popular with the blood-sucking worms.

The blood-sucking worms in the swamp don't suck other people's blood; instead, they relentlessly chase after him.

If Raymond Corey had run even a little slower, he probably would have been sucked dry by those terrifying blood-sucking worms.

Fortunately, under Horney's leadership, the group arrived at the new milestone at the right time.

Only after entering the next layer were they able to escape the bloodsucking worms that had surrounded them from all sides.

The fighting never really stopped along the way.

Each new level presents different extraordinary creatures.

Fortunately, Tucker was there to protect them.

There were only a few ordinary extraordinary beings scattered around, so Tucker didn't need to lift a finger.

The Shadowflame Wolf can handle it.

And even more extraordinary beings.

The squad will then enter combat mode.

They created space for Tucker to deal damage, and Tucker's various sorcery techniques never disappointed the team members.

At the foot of a broad mountain ridge.

Wielding his broadsword, Raymond Corey ruthlessly severed the vines that were wrapped around his feet, venting his rage.

Around them, there were already more than a dozen severed tendrils.

Along the way, they encountered all sorts of strange and extraordinary creatures, as well as bizarre and peculiar environments known as the "Wriggling Layers."

Raymond Corey felt a sense of frustration, as if he had the power to do nothing.

These tangible vines, which he could confront head-on, were exactly what he wanted.

This is how a real man should fight.

Looking at those broken vines that were still twitching.

Raymond Corey has once again raised his broadsword.

Even if he's dead, his corpse must be whipped one more time, otherwise, there won't be another chance like this.

At this time.

Not far away, Tucker, Gudal, Horney, and others were gathered together.

"The previous layers we passed through clearly had a large number of extraordinary creatures."

"And this entire region..."

As he spoke, Horney glanced at the vines that Raymond Corey was "practicing his knife skills" on.

"Even if the earth vines exist, they aren't particularly powerful."

"Therefore, this place should be quite close to the deeper part of the second level of the Demon King's Tomb."

"At the same time, there should also be powerful leader-level creatures here, as well as a tree with demonic traits."

"This is probably the place we should really explore."

After Horney finished speaking.

Gudalka looked at Tucker and asked, "Tucker, what do you think?"
