Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 560 The Frustrated Great Witch

The shaman's face was calm, but his heart was not so calm, nor was he as aloof as he appeared.

He was even very angry and frustrated.

The giant termites he now controls were originally supposed to emerge from Dolly's womb in a year or two.

At that time, the termites produced will directly enter the peak of the second stage. After they finish feeding, they can advance to the third stage.

Third-order termites are worshipped as gods by some ignorant species.

Monte originally planned to completely control the demonic creature by sacrificing Dolly when the termites evolved.

However, everything happened too suddenly, and for no apparent reason, the termites inside Dolly burst out of her stomach.

He could only immediately abandon Dolly's life, conceal his magic and mental power, and use Dolly's head to release the mental power that the termite was familiar with, thereby controlling it.

However, because of this, the premature termites only have ordinary second-tier strength. Even if they eat all the wizards in their current settlement who have taken the Spirit Reading Candle, they still cannot break through to the third tier.

"Everything happened so suddenly today. Otherwise, I could have prepared more food for you." The great shaman Monte stroked the termite's head, not daring to vent his anger on it.

He cannot use witchcraft until he finds a better way to control the termites, otherwise it will be easy to discover that he is not Dolly!

The termites did not respond to the great witch Monte, but focused on eating. Although it was very uncomfortable to have someone riding on it, it had no choice but to endure it since she was its mother.

The high shaman narrowed his eyes, scanning the entire settlement. "The shamans here should all have consumed the spirit-reading candles. Even if one or two slipped through the net, it doesn't matter. The gate is closed; I can search slowly."

Although the giant termite has lost the opportunity to directly advance to the third tier, the more wizards it devours, the faster its strength grows.

Monte will not let anyone go.

……

Thor was hiding in the crevice.

This defensive spell reveals almost no fluctuations of magic or mental power.

However, at the same time, this crack can only accommodate himself.

When he first cultivated this curse, the space inside the rift was so small that he could only sit curled up inside.

Now that Thor has grown taller, the space inside the slit has also increased, but Thor can still only curl up inside.

It seemed as if the size was designed to fit his body perfectly.

The situation outside has completely descended into chaos.

The wizards, as if sleepwalking, marched toward the white Grim Reaper. Once the ordinary people confirmed that the wizards had lost their minds, they swarmed into the wizards' territory to steal and rob.

Some even had the audacity to attack the wizard, who knows what deep-seated hatred they had suppressed in the past.

Those who attacked low-level wizard apprentices successfully killed their targets of hatred, but those reckless ordinary people who attacked high-level apprentices or even full wizards were often killed by the backlash of the wizards' magic before they even touched them.

Saul remained silent, analyzing the current situation.

"The seam doesn't completely block out the air, meaning that the gases released by the giant termites should also enter this small space."

Agu: [But Master, you haven't lost your mind yet, so the gas released by this ant shouldn't have any effect on you.]

Morton: [For this gas to control a wizard's mind, there must be some strict limitations.]

Thor had figured it out by now. "No doubt, it's because of the Spirit Reading Candles. The reason these wizards and apprentices have been staying in this settlement for so long is to use the Spirit Reading Candles to activate their brains for a short time."

Those who use spirit-reading candles for extended periods will also be affected by the formic acid manufacturers.

Agu: [Ha, raising carpenter's termites, consuming their secretions, only to end up becoming food for the termites. How ironic!]

Morton: [The archback termite secretes formic acid precisely to bring back food. That makes perfect sense.]

From this angle, Thor couldn't see the giant termites devouring the insects, but he could imagine how horrific the scene must be.

He thought to himself, "The mastermind behind all this must be that great witch, Monte. But whoever orchestrated this conspiracy..."

Thor clicked his tongue. "I'm relatively safe hiding here for now. But hiding all the time is too passive. Once the termites have eaten all the wizards, Monte will definitely be searching for anyone hiding like me. If he finds me, it'll be like being cornered in a dead end."

A second-tier wizard, and a second-tier termite.

No matter how you look at it, Thor doesn't seem to have much of a chance of winning.

Saul focused his attention on the diary.

"We must proactively seek change!"

However, just as Saul was planning how to escape the settlement, a huge change occurred outside.

Ordinary people who were taking advantage of the loss of order to loot supplies did not notice that many tiny white ants had suddenly appeared in the land of their settlement.

Once these ants crawled onto the ground, they immediately pointed their antennae at the pedestrians.

A man carrying several bulging cloth bags came out onto the street, ready to change his robbery target.

After taking only a couple of steps, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my toe.

He immediately looked down and discovered a white ant crawling on his foot.

He immediately thought of the giant termite that had appeared above the ground, and goosebumps instantly rose from his toes to the top of his head.

He immediately lifted his foot and shook it frantically, hoping to shake off the creepy ant.

However, when he stopped swinging his leg because it was sore, he found that the tiny termite was still on his toe.

His feet had already lost all feeling.

The man immediately dropped the cloth bag in his left hand and tried to swat away the ants with his hand. But as soon as he bent over, he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a "thud".

On the street, more and more people, like this man, were bitten by termites that appeared out of nowhere.

It started with a slight stinging sensation, which then turned into numbness.

When numbness spreads to the limbs, the bitten person can only lie on the ground, watching helplessly as the ants continue to create wounds on their body.

Unfortunately, the colony was too chaotic at this time, and the initial termite victims were not taken seriously.

While everyone was still aware of the tiny killers on the ground, large numbers of carpenter's termites had spread like wildfire throughout the entire colony.

At that moment, Saul made up his mind and closed the diary.

He stretched out his hands, braced them against the edge of the gap, and peered out, his entire body emerging from the tiny opening, barely the size of a palm.

As soon as he landed, he felt immense mental pressure coming from behind him.

Looking back, the giant termite had grown to ten meters long!

Thor carefully kept quiet, pressed himself against the wall, put on his hood to conceal his presence, and carefully avoided stepping on the termites on the ground.

He had only taken two steps when he bumped into a man running away with a child in his arms.

The man, with a full beard, turned out to be the father of the boy who had faked his death and escaped.

He was carrying a child in his arms and kept looking back as he ran.

Behind him, a vast expanse of white swept across the street and walls.

And above that wave of white terror, there were even several pieces of human and animal remains dragging along.

One can imagine the tragic fate that awaits the man and child once they are overtaken by that white tide.

The man ran while looking back, and unsurprisingly stumbled, nearly falling. But with great willpower and quick reflexes, he braced himself with his fingers on the ground, forcing himself to stand up and continue running.

Just then, Thor suddenly blocked his way.

He hadn't noticed Thor before, but now he recognized the man in front of him as a wizard based on his clothes.

"Go in!"

Thor grabbed him by the collar with one hand and threw him toward the house next to him.

The man thought Saul was going to kill them, and in his terror, he clung tightly to the child in mid-air.

He crashed headfirst through the already flimsy window frame and landed heavily inside the room.

He opened his eyes, still in pain, and saw a huge, transparent dome descending over his and his child's heads.

Some termites crawled in through the broken window, but only circled around the outside of the transparent cover before leaving in a daze.

Thor didn't look at the man in the room. After casting a layer of spirit armor on the adults and children, he immediately took off and headed towards the settlement's wall.
