49: Chapter 49 Owls and Tracks

While Ross was studying his [Hand of Vines], eliminating some Walking Corpses and Hyenas, and continuously increasing his mental power on his way forward,

At this time, the brother and sister Vera and Edmund, who remained in the mine, were not idle either.

In the dark and silent mine, because one person was missing from the team, Vera and the other became nervous as well.

In the hollow, soundless cave, only the footsteps of Vera and Edmund moving forward made some sounds.

They continuously made pit-a-pat noises.

At this moment, the two of them were back-to-back, protecting each other's backs.

Between this pair of siblings, due to their blood relationship, their trust in each other went without saying.

"Brother, Ross seems to have fallen into a spatial rift. Do you have any good ideas? After all, he is still somewhat in danger alone."

As a newcomer who had just stepped into the Wizard World and a student of the same wizard academy,

she still held the sympathy of the mortal world.

Ross had gotten along quite well with the two siblings along the way, and there was a certain amount of trust and affection between them.

Also as Level 3 Wizard Apprentices, there wasn't much difference in their levels in Vera's eyes.

Once she put herself in his shoes and imagined herself accidentally stumbling into a spatial rift like Ross, going alone to face an unknown battlefield,

Vera's sympathy and worry surged continuously.

Hearing Vera's voice, Edmund was also quite annoyed at this moment.

Although at the beginning Edmund looked down somewhat on Ross as a newly enrolled Wizard Apprentice,

after Ross explained clearly, Edmund had already recognized his strength to participate in this commission.

He had also always believed that with himself, a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice present, plus the other two Level 3 Wizard Apprentices,

no mess would happen no matter what. After all, judging from the information provided by the academy's commission task,

the hazard level of this mine was still within the scope that Level 3 Wizard Apprentices could handle.

But to guard against unknown risks, two more people were dispatched.

The three of them had never gotten separated and had always explored the mine in a front-middle-rear formation.

However, this kind of inexplicably appearing spatial rift involved the utilization of spatial elements or some kind of spatial wormhole appearing in the Wizard World.

The powers involved were somewhat high-end, which Wizard Apprentices could not anticipate.

Edmund had not expected such a situation to occur in this mine either.

"This situation is a bit complex. Involving a spatial rift, it is not something a Wizard Apprentice can resolve."

Edmund's helpless voice sounded.

But he quickly seemed to think of something. Edmund was seen summoning a magic owl from his magic pocket.

This was a relatively small-sized magic owl with a pair of big brown eyes.

Without flapping its wings, its two wings hugged its belly, resembling a round, chubby furry ball.

Then Edmund wrote some text on a piece of hemp parchment.

His hands kept moving, and he also cast a certain buff-type spell on his magic owl.

Then they saw this magic owl swiftly shuttle through the dark mine tunnel and quickly leave the mine.

Edmund watched his pet leave rapidly.

Only then did the nervous expression on his face relax, and then he said to his younger sister Vera in a calm tone:

"I have already transmitted the phenomenon of this spatial rift appearing in the Boulder Town mine to the academy."

"Under the blessing of my magic, in about half a day, this owl will be able to transmit the information to the academy."

"Involving phenomena like spatial rifts or different dimensional spaces, the academy should attach great importance to it. As long as Ross doesn't act rashly, with his strength, self-preservation should still be safe."

Hearing her brother's voice, Vera had no choice but to set her mind at ease.

And just as the two of them relaxed and prepared to speed up to leave the mine first,

a faint light suddenly appeared under their feet, and with a boom, the two of them also began to fall.

...

Meanwhile, Ross, who was lingering at the edge of the desert, seemed to hear a loud rumble.

The direction of the position seemed to be right at his destination.

"Although I don't know why the sound was made, something must have gone wrong in the core area of the mystic realm."

"It seems I must speed up my journey."

Ross looked at the unseen core area in the distance, where dangerous magical power fluctuations had been continuously coming from.

He also took advantage of this time to kill quite a few Hyenas and Walking Corpses.

His mental power had almost increased to around 800.

Although there were some minor accidents in the mine this time,

for Ross, being able to increase his mental power by nearly 100 so quickly was also a good thing.

But after all, being in an unknown space, his little life was still relatively important.

If something unexpected happened in the core area and he could never return to the Wizard World, that would be miserable.

Thinking of this, Ross couldn't help but speed up his pace.

And at this time, Ross was no longer a rookie who had just stumbled into this desert.

At this moment, he had a certain understanding of the environment and harsh zones of this space.

He also had a full understanding of the Spell Model in his hands.

For a long time, the spell [Hand of Vines] had been gathering dust in his hands.

But at this time, its power could finally be displayed. Ross was seen casting [Hand of Vines] unhurriedly.

The thick tentacles composed of [Hand of Vines] intertwined with each other,

forming two rows of rolling slide tracks, resembling the tracks of a tank in the desert.

This was also a transformation method Ross was trying to utilize with [Hand of Vines].

He found that as an improved spell by Professor Pulang, a Level 1 Official Wizard,

its effect was vastly different from the original [Hand of Vines] Spell Model.

"As expected of a Spell Model improved by an Official Wizard. In terms of consumption, there is almost no difference from the original, but the tricks that can be played with it are quite a few."

Right in this desert, Ross had already made quite a few discoveries.

It was also his first time realizing the power that could be generated after combining magical plants and spells.

Previously, he had always thought that wizard power might be more reflected in stronger destructive power.

Therefore, his focus had always been placed on the [Magic Flame] Spell Model.

Although its attack effect was better, it obviously had its limitations as well.

Like [Hand of Vines], although its attack effect was slightly weaker, when combined with magical plants, the resulting spellcasting effect was more complex,

capable of coping with more complex environments.

In these desert areas, there were some regions with quicksand zones. Once fallen in, one would be continuously sucked into the soil by the shaking quicksand.

And these vehicles composed of vines could very well allow Ross to move forward smoothly.
