Is the person you sculpt as cute as me?

It bit the sword gently, using it as its own finger to tell its employer which direction the smell was coming from.

"The direction the treasure chest monster pointed to... is consistent with the smell of the traditional Chinese medicine. Hoo hoo, there's something."

"At least a small boss level."

They both understood that the boss of the sect had arrived.

And—there’s a treasure chest.

The little deer became excited, not acting like a spoiled young lady at all, but just rubbing her hands in a materialistic manner.

Yu Man's face was not good, she silently judged the situation -

Judging from the overall difficulty of the Black Tower, the opponent is most likely a fifth-level magician, and with the home-field advantage, he's likely going to be tough to deal with...

Even if you are in a complete state, there is no guarantee of victory.

Magician's home ground.

Just like she could prepare a pool of ice to bury the players in just over ten minutes.

I don't know how long the other party has been working here. The home team must be full of conspiracies and intrigues just to protect the research results.

Being able to take advantage of the terrain is what makes a magician so terrifying.

"How about it? Do you want to go and see?" asked the deer, but in fact it was urging him.

"Well, I have to go take a look anyway."

Yu Man also has some positive ideas.

Maybe they were tired from work and were taking a nap on the table? Or maybe you just happened to walk by and found that their experiment had failed, exploding half a tube of blood... These things are not impossible.

Following the mixed herbal scent, Yu Man and Xiao Lu lowered their voices.

The girls took each step lightly and walked forward quietly.

"arrive."

Not long after, they saw the magician's laboratory...

Well, it seems more appropriate to call it a kimchi workshop.

The originally black stone bricks had been soaked in strange liquids for who knows how long, and had become more than just ugly.

Two large walls are hung with fresh or old plants and corpses.

From popsicle-like people to mummy-like people. From cacti to frost grass.

As for the bottles and jars used to cook them, there are countless of them, and some even smell of wine.

It's clearly filled with things collected from all over the world, which is quite strange.

But what was even stranger was that there were no magicians at all.

After searching around, I could only find a scarecrow made of hay, patiently sweeping the dust with its broom-like arms.

The scarecrow was very clever—he spotted them quickly.

But there was no hostility.

The Scarecrow bowed and said, "If... you two wish to visit the master to seek treatment or poison, please leave a letter here. The master is not here."

The scarecrow's voice was terrible, as if his transplanted vocal cords had been frozen.

Unlike the frightened deer, Yu Man was mature.

She first kept an eye on the surroundings, signaled Xiangxiang to look for the location of the treasure chest, and then began to progress the event.

"Excuse me, what if none of these are the purposes?"

"Um, do you want to hire me for something? Or do you want to challenge me to a duel? Or perhaps, do you hope to become my apprentice... or perhaps even become my material?"

Xiaolu was a little nervous, but Yu Man held his hand.

She judged calmly.

First of all - this guy is quite intelligent and may not be without combat capability.

Well...this is the answer here.

Yu Man sighed, looking distressed: "Alas, we have an appointment with your master to come and get the treasure. Didn't your master give instructions about this?"

“…Okay, it seems not.”

"So negligent? As an assistant helping to look after the lab, aren't you actually trusted? They kept such a big deal secret from you?"

“…this…this…this.” The scarecrow was in a panic and seemed to be really uneasy.

Yu Man said impatiently, "Forget it, we'll get it ourselves. Your master has already received the reward."

044·Revisit

After saying that, the two of them walked towards the treasure chest.

I originally wanted to get more information, but now it seems that I can just take some items directly... Then I'll start from here.

As for his master, he was either on a business trip or busy with other things, and there was no doubt that he would not be able to come back in the short term.

I didn’t expect this to be a welfare treasure chest, it’s pretty good.

but--

The scarecrow looked embarrassed. "Ah, my two guests, please wait a minute. I will go and tell the host to come and talk to you personally..."

"We are in a hurry to get it. Don't bother. It's too late."

"Huh? Why is it too late?"

The Scarecrow was completely confused.

"After the previous leader passed away, the master took over. He's clearly upstairs. I just need to—"

As he said this, the Scarecrow raised his hand -

Or rather, raise the broom.

Thump-thump-thump.

I knocked on the ceiling a few times and shook off a bunch of dust.

"My two guests, the host will be coming down soon. Please wait... Okay?"

The scarecrow was surprised to find that the guest in his sight had disappeared.

What are they so anxious about? The master is coming soon.

Yu Man and Xiao Lu were like when they went to the office and ran into the head teacher playing with the confiscated Switch.

Disaster is imminent and I am panicking, but I can’t help but want to laugh.

Of course they didn't want to escape... No, they didn't want to just run away like that. Of course they had to loot the treasure chest first and then run away.

"Xianxiang, lead the way!"

"Master, here!"

Although it was a wall, the deer simply picked up his weapon and smashed it.

Surprisingly fragile, disguised as a wooden plank... a hidden treasure chest without a doubt.

"Blue box...good enough, hurry up, open it."

but--

"The Guardian is aware of your existence and has bound this treasure chest."

"Wow, it's late."

"Hey."

Yu Man was very annoyed and thought of just killing the scarecrow and opening the box.

Sometimes, too much talking can be a bad thing.

And at this moment - the magician returned to his home court.

The atmosphere on the entire floor changed.

"Rebel leader, successor, and arrival at the other shore"

Like his predecessor, as the Lord of the Black Tower, he is at the top of the food chain in the illegal area.

A magician with a complex appearance.

The extremely dirty black robe covered him from head to toe.

He casually held a one-handed staff that was as old as a cane.

There wasn't an inch of good skin on his body—it was all burned... or eaten away by acid.

But even so, it can be seen that he is quite young...but even though he is young, he is extremely ugly.

"...Nature Magician... Not good."

Yu Man's forehead was covered in sweat. In this narrow terrain, this could be said to be the most difficult one to deal with.

This magician is not known for reviving the earth and calling forth new sprouts.

But...it will poison you.

They are cunning, vicious, insidious, and often cold-blooded and cruel.

They extract all kinds of toxins from nature and use them for their own purposes.

Given enough information, they can poison most enemies.

Furthermore, if faced with a desperate all-in situation, they could simply unleash all their poison, polluting the ecosystem into an inviolable zone. Without Yu Man's much-hated top-tier poison resistance skills, a losing game would almost certainly be overturned.

People hate this profession so much that they call it the Poison Mage.

In Yu Man's first round, his secondary profession was Poison Mage. Only after choosing it did I realize how much fun it was...

Ugh.

Only when you are about to fight, you will realize how disgusting the poison mage is.

"You were the ones who deceived my assistant?" the other side arrived whispered. "You were the ones who made the noise outside, weren't you?"

"No, we're here to do business."

"Business? Oh...you volunteered to be my experimental material, and the reward is my gratitude."

"Ah, we can't come to an agreement. Goodbye then."

Yu Man packed up his boxes at the speed of light, pulled the deer and ran away.

She used the magic power she had recovered to cast a skill - trying to freeze the feet of those who arrived from the other side... but failed.

The strong damping feeling proves that the opponent's magic resistance is a bit high.

"Don't even think about escaping—entangled in thorns." The one who arrived from the other side released a skill.

but--

Knowing exactly what he was going to do, Yu Man had a blood-stained ice blade in his hand.

Before the thorns took shape... no, before the thorns were born, it had already pierced the starting point of the magic, preventing the growth of the thorn buds.

"...What?!" The person who arrived from the other side was stunned. "Impossible! Blurred flowers!"

He waved his staff again and used similar magic.

But on a much larger scale.

Unlike the whip-like thorns that can be precisely controlled, this releases a field of buds in an area, which will immediately grow into roses.

It carries a strong phantom poison and barbs that make it difficult for people to move.

however--

"Local snowfall."
