I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

After hearing what Teacher Dora said, Leon asked, "One of them?"

“Yes, venom splash is just one of its means of attack.

Its most powerful feature is actually its eyes.”

"Eye?"

Leon thought of the red-eyed viper just now. It seemed that apart from being a little red, there was nothing special about it...

Dora began to walk while talking, "The one we just caught is just the weakest red-eyed viper. When a red-eyed viper reaches the first level, it will awaken a blood magic - petrification."

Petrified?!

The first thing Leon thought of was Queen Medusa in his previous life.

"Teacher, this petrification spell, does it mean that if it looks at me, I will turn into stone?"

Dora suddenly stopped and said, "You really dare to think of it, but... I have actually heard of a similar witchcraft." As she spoke, Dora pulled out another red-eyed viper from the side.

"This one is quite good at hiding, it should be at level one."

Dora used her wizard's hand to pinch the snake's head and pointed it at Leon.

"As a wizard, you must have the determination and courage to test the law yourself. No matter how much I say, it won't be as good as you trying it yourself. Be careful!"

Leon was shocked. Oh my god! Isn’t this little guy’s teaching style too tough?!

If Dora knew what Leon was thinking at this moment, she might even come down and teach him a lesson herself...

The red-eyed viper's head was pinched tightly and its mouth could not move, so it could not use its venom to splash, so it could only use its innate witchcraft - petrification.

As the red light flashed in the eyes of the red-eyed viper, Leon clearly felt that his limbs became much stiffer. Not only his limbs, but even his breathing seemed to be separated by a layer of something.

Dora still threw the snake far away, then walked to Leon and said, "This is the petrification technique. How does it feel?"

"Teacher, I feel like I have really turned into a stone..."

Dora stood on tiptoe and patted Leon's shoulder, "Look, this is not stone, it is still flesh and blood.

Didn’t you just say it, feeling?

What is feeling?

Leon vaguely thought of something, but his body was too stiff and confused to analyze calmly.

Dora took out a bottle of potion from the space ring, then pinched Leon's mouth open and poured half the bottle into him.

"Awakening potion, it can boost your spirits, replenish your energy, etc."

As the potion entered his mouth, Leon shivered as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water in the middle of winter.

After shivering, Leon said in surprise: "Huh? I'm fine!"

"You're not bad at all."

"Ah?" Leon was still a little confused at this time. He knew very little about these creatures from other worlds.

Leon has been studying the magical beasts in the wizard's native world, but since the other world is the private forbidden area of ​​each force, naturally not a lot of information will be circulated.

"The Red-Eyed Viper's petrification technique doesn't directly affect your body, but your mind."

"It affects the mind... Is this an illusion?!"

Red eyes combined with illusion, why does it give me an inexplicable sense of déjà vu...

Hearing Leon's words, Dora nodded with relief. "You're not stupid. Red-Eyed Viper's Petrification, if classified, belongs to the control-oriented mental witchcraft, so it focuses on control. Otherwise, do you think I really dare to let you take it head-on?"

Leon felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly flattered her: “How could that be? In my heart, what the teacher does must be right. Teacher Dora is the best in the world!”

Dora snorted, then continued, "After using the petrification technique, the Red-Eyed Viper will either seize the opportunity to kill the enemy, or, if the situation is not right, flee decisively.

With your current mental strength, it's a bit of a stretch to deal with a first-level red-eyed viper, but you won't be restrained by it for too long. Even if you don't drink the awakening potion, you can still struggle out on your own."

"Ah... wouldn't that be a waste?"

Dora threw the remaining half bottle of potion to Leon, "What do you know! This is a teaching!"

Leon nodded immediately after hearing this and praised again, "Teacher is wise!"

……

The underground passage was very long and connected in all directions. Leon didn't dare to stay too far away from Dora because he could hear the sound of friction on the ground from time to time.

Leon knew that this was the sound of a red-eyed viper moving.

"Don't panic. The academy cleans up this place regularly. There won't be any magical beasts higher than level one here. So when they hear us coming, they'll actually flee even faster."

Leon breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the cave and asked, "Teacher, was this passage also opened up by the academy?"

Dora shook her head. "Natural."

The shape of the tunnel is very regular, like a continuously branching water pipe, and each tunnel is basically the same size, as if it was drilled out by hand with a ruler.

"Teacher, isn't this a little too neat... too natural?"

"If the snake dug it out itself, does that count as natural?"

Leon: ...

"That definitely doesn't count."

"Oh," Dora said, then changed her words and said, "Then it's not natural."

Leon: ...

At this time, Leon also came to his senses, "Teacher, such a big hole, how big a snake must it be?"

Leon couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He raised his head and looked. It was about four or five meters up and down, and about the same four or five meters left and right.

What kind of giant python is this...

"I don't know either." Dora shook her head. "Anyway, we didn't see it when we discovered this world. Besides, if we really saw it, it wouldn't be our turn here."

Although he said so, Leon was still a little scared.

"Teacher, could it be resting down there? Snakes hibernate, so maybe it's resting..."

"Hahahaha, little Leon, are you scared already? What will you do if you encounter even scarier beings when you invade another world in the future?

Don't worry, it disappeared long ago. Even the natives here haven't seen it for hundreds of years. Plus, we've occupied this area for a long time...

It has been at least six or seven hundred years in total. Even if it is hibernating, it should be time to wake up.

Furthermore, several deans and vice deans have come here to investigate carefully, but have not found any stronger auras."

The stone in Leon's heart slowly fell. It was not his fault for being timid. He only had one life and he couldn't be reckless!

The two continued forward, and Leon discovered that the passage under their feet was actually going down all the way, but the slope was not steep, so the overall appearance was relatively flat.

Suddenly, Leon faintly heard the sound of water.

"teacher……"

"We're almost there. Once we reach the underground river, we'll also reach Dragon Scale Pond."

After walking down for a few minutes, the sound of water became louder and louder, and the air became more humid and colder.

Leon touched his hair and found it was all wet. It was actually soaked!

At this time, he also understood why Dora used the fireball technique. In this environment, the fireball technique could not play a lighting role at all, and it would be extinguished as soon as it came out!
