Chapter 138 Human Experimentation, Rock Vein Barrier
Chapter 138 Human Experimentation, Rock Vein Barrier
"Over the past few years, I've occasionally received letters from the Dune Knights and the Ice Cicada Knights. However, due to our mediocre elemental affinity, everyone's life has been quite ordinary. After joining the organization, the knights, aside from initially attracting attention, quickly faded into obscurity. It's completely different from their time on the human continent."
Lin Wei murmured to himself, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
An ordinary high knight is roughly equivalent to a third-class wizard apprentice. Lin Wei, however, is a master of five breath techniques, possessing physical attributes and magical perception far exceeding those of ordinary people. He is an anomaly, completely incomparable to them. At this moment, the surrounding gray mist is like a thick veil, enveloping everything. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks in the distance can be faintly heard, a muffled yet rhythmic sound.
"They mentioned in their letter that they are all just third-class wizard apprentices, busy every day earning sea creature flesh and blood to gain points within the organization. However, with the knight's cultivation as a foundation and their thick skin, at least when they go out to sea, as long as they don't do anything reckless, they can complete the sea creature fishing mission normally. They still have a bit more self-protection ability than other wizard apprentices of the same level." Lin Wei said, while brushing aside the gray mist in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the gray mist dispersed a bit.
Lin Wei burrowed into the gray fog, following the sound as he went deeper. The ground beneath his feet was muddy, and each step made a "plop" sound, quickly covering his boots with mud.
Not long after, the voices of the Dune Knights were heard.
"Chandler, have you thought this through? If you cooperate with us in conducting human experiments on wizards, with your knightly body, the experimental data will definitely be more accurate." A wizard apprentice's voice rang out, the tone sinister and the threat unmistakable. His hands were behind his back, a cold smile on his face.
"I won't agree. You tricked me into coming to this island just to force me to do experiments, didn't you?" The Dune Knight's voice rang out, filled with resentment. His voice trembled, and his body shook slightly.
"Whether you agree or not, I have to produce experimental results, otherwise my laboratory will be taken back by the organization, and you, Chandler, are the best experimental vessel." Another wizard apprentice's voice came out, his arms crossed, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.
Soon, the sounds of fighting arose, but to Lin Wei, it seemed to be a one-sided affair, with the voice of Dune Knight Chandler gradually fading away. The fighting was interspersed with the sounds of flying dirt and the Dune Knight's muffled groans of pain.
Lin Wei was already close enough to see him. He pushed aside the leaves and saw the Dune Knight lying on the ground, struggling. His body was covered in mud and dust, his hair was disheveled, and there were several abrasions on his face.
The others used earth magic to pin him firmly to the ground. The earth magic was like thick chains, tightly binding his body, and they were preparing to inject him with magical potions. The potion bottle shook in the wizard apprentice's hand, emitting a pungent odor.
Their wizard robes were all earth-toned and shaped like mountains, clearly the robes of the Rock Vein Barrier, which Chandler, the Dune Knight, had joined. The mountain patterns on the robes appeared and disappeared in the gray mist, giving them a sense of weight and mystery.
Lin Wei sighed. Other wizarding organizations were really ruthless to their own people. Turing Tower was quite free, with no oppression, except for those fools who would cause trouble for it. He frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the approach taken by the rock vein barrier.
"Ahem." Lin Wei stepped forward, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "I say, you guys are really going too far. Did Chandler even agree to this?"
Lin Wei's voice was like a bolt from the blue, startling the wizard apprentices in the arena. Their bodies trembled violently, and their movements stopped abruptly.
"Who's there?" The lead wizard apprentice reacted the fastest, shouting. His voice echoed through the gray mist, sounding particularly abrupt. He stared wide-eyed, looking around, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Lin Wei was speechless. He rolled his eyes and, with a few leaps, appeared completely within the group's encirclement. His movements were light and swift, like a nimble cheetah.
A tall wizard suddenly appeared before them, quite frightening. He was as tall as a small mountain, with a fierce expression on his face, his fists clenched, ready to strike at any moment.
"What are you trying to do, people from Turing Tower? You want to interfere with our rock vein barrier?" The leading wizard apprentice glanced at Lin Wei's robes and felt relieved. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
"Yes, everyone knows that the number of wizard apprentices in Turing Tower is very small, and their quality isn't very good either. They can only maintain their status in the East Eighth District because their leader is a second-circle wizard." A witch said with a sharp laugh, her laughter being very shrill, like a sharp blade that cut through the tranquility of the gray fog.
"Idiots." Lin Wei rolled his eyes at them and curled his lip.
He discovered that these wizarding apprentices were not very bright and always viewed new things with old perspectives.
"Lion...Lion Knight." Dune Knight Chandler recognized Lin Wei at a glance and called out weakly, his voice weak but full of surprise.
"You lie down first, I'll take care of these people for you," Lin Wei comforted him, patting the Dune Knight on the shoulder.
"Thank you... thank you." After saying this, Dune Knight Chandler's face was as pale as paper, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted on sitting up, panting heavily, with large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, making small pits on the dry sand.
If the Lion Knight said he could cook, then he could cook. As a die-hard fan, the Dune Knight's eyes widened in disbelief, his trust unconditionally swaying Lin Wei.
"Take care of us?" The lead wizard apprentice burst into laughter as if he'd heard the funniest joke in the world, bending over with ecstasy. Pointing at Lin Wei, he shouted, "What right do you have?"
"Yeah, big guy, looks like you're a knight too? What a trash profession. This is the wizarding world, not the human world." The witch crossed her arms, a contemptuous smile playing on her lips, and sneered.
Lin Wei ignored them and simply began to swell. With each inch of expansion, the surrounding air seemed to be squeezed and made a hissing sound.
"So what if you've grown taller? Chandler grew taller before, even turning into sand, but he was no match for us." The leading second-class wizard apprentice laughed, his eyes full of disdain, and deliberately raised his chin in Chandler's direction.
"Yeah?"
At this moment, Lin Wei had already used his true form, which was a ten-meter-tall lion-man. Gray mist swirled around his body, and the ground trembled with every step he took. He looked at the wizard apprentices of the rock vein barrier as if they were ants.
"Something's not right. This is too big!" a wizard apprentice screamed, his voice trembling as he uncontrollably backed away, his legs shaking.
