Bang!
A tremendous roar came from the woods.
Smoke and dust billowed up, trees snapped, and there was a loud crash.
"Cough...cough...cough cough..." Varo used his hands to support his body and barely managed to get up from the ground.
He felt his blood churning in his chest, making him very uncomfortable.
"Wow!"
Finally, Varo couldn't hold back any longer and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Jack, damn it, Jack, why did you…" Varo raised his head and said viciously.
But before he could finish speaking, his expression immediately changed.
Several small black dots flew over from a distance, slowly growing larger; they were several alchemical grenades.
"Damn it!"
Varo's face turned extremely ugly.
Through his brief encounter with Morin, he had learned just what these seemingly ordinary black spheres were—the terrifying things they were.
But he had no way to avoid it.
boom!
Flames shot into the sky as the alchemical grenade exploded.
After the smoke cleared, Varo's figure reappeared. However, Varo looked terrible. His robes were tattered, his body was covered in blood and gore, and his breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, indicating that he was seriously injured.
"Varo".
Morin slowly walked over.
He looked at Varo lying on the ground, unable to move at all, and spoke softly.
"Why did you attack me? Why! Why!" Varo coughed up blood, staring at Morin and shouting, his expression one of utter madness.
He didn't do anything at all, but Morin didn't rush over directly, looking like he was determined to kill him.
"There's no reason why." Morin slowly raised his palm and said, "You've mutated your body, altering the basic structure of your neurons and cells, so you can choose strange magical life forms or high-energy creatures as your companions, granting you powerful strength. Yes, you can."
"You could even say it's very good."
"only..."
"Who told you that your companion worm is a heart-eating worm?"
Morin smiled.
Just now, it was because the chip kept reminding him that Varo's companion worm was a heart-eating worm that Morin immediately decided to kill Varo.
The powder of the heart-eating worm is one of the four key materials for constructing the Mina totem, and Morin must obtain it.
So, Varro had no choice but to die.
"Heart-eating worm? My soul-companion worm?"
Varo was taken aback.
A moment later, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I thought it was something else, but I never expected it. You're actually here because of my Soul-Companion Worm."
"Then come on, let's see if you take my soul-companion worm, or let me kill you!"
Varo roared, his expression somewhat deranged.
The Soul-Companion Worm is connected to his soul and cannot be harmed in the slightest, otherwise he will die. Now, he has no choice but to fight Morin to the death.
However, after he shouted those words, one or two more alchemical grenades flew over.
"It's those damn things again!"
Varo felt a surge of frustration.
If it were a matter of strength, he wouldn't be afraid of Morin at all, and was even confident that he could suppress Morin. However, these explosive devices that caused such great damage were too strange. Just a few of them had already left him severely injured and with little power to fight back.
"Jack! I'd rather die than let him have his way!"
Varo roared wildly.
Buzz.
A low humming sound came from over.
His body instantly transformed into countless black flying insects, which, after a brief moment of solidification, flew off in all directions.
The massive fire wave and shockwave generated by the alchemical grenade spread outwards, killing many black flying insects instantly, but a considerable number still managed to escape and were about to fly far away.
"Trying to escape?"
Seeing this, Morin couldn't help but give a cold smile.
He chanted a witchcraft incantation in a low voice, and gradually, the sound of wind began to howl. Before long, the wind grew stronger and stronger, and a dark gust of wind rushed out from the surface of his black robe, swirling around him.
Combination magic, Dark Wind Ring.
The black wind grew stronger and stronger, and finally, with the blessing of Morin's wizarding energy, it transformed into a black vortex, howling and emitting strange and terrifying roars, like a terrifying tornado.
The black flying insects were involuntarily drawn into it, struggling incessantly in the black whirlwind.
The surrounding area was filled with the intense heat from the alchemical grenade explosion, as well as numerous pieces of iron scraps. These were caught in the black whirlwind, which tore and tumbled incessantly, killing off a large number of black flying insects.
"Squeak!" "Squeak..." "Squeak squeak!"
Countless black flying insects made strange cries, trying to escape, but they were powerless to do so and could only be swept up and crushed into dust by the black whirlwind.
"it's over."
"Morlin said softly."
He suddenly increased the transmission of wizarding energy, and immediately, the black whirlwind became even more violent.
"squeak!!!"
The last black flying insect let out a scream, then vanished without a trace in the black whirlwind, instantly torn to shreds.
As the last black flying insect was torn apart, a faint scream came from within the black whirlwind—it was Varo's cry.
When all the black flying insects had died, Varo was also dead.
Morin let out a soft breath.
Although he wasn't injured this time, he had exhausted his mental energy and wizarding power in the process of chasing Varo. However, he still had some energy left, and he finally succeeded in killing Varo.
"Come."
As Morin thought about the powdered heart-eating worm, a sense of anticipation suddenly arose in his heart.
He stopped the Dark Wind Ring, then opened his palm, and a wisp of swirling black wind appeared on his palm. After swirling once, the black wind disappeared without a trace.
What appeared on Morin's palm was some black powder, which had a faint smell and was very dry.
"Chip, analyze!" Morin's mind raced.
"Ding! Mission established!"
"Task analysis in progress!"
The analysis results are as follows!
"Materials: Powder of codling worms, Quality: Excellent, can help the main body construct the Minaite totem!"
"Very good." Morin couldn't help but smile.
It was all worth the alchemical grenade he used to relentlessly hunt down Varo; now, he has finally obtained the Heart Eater powder.
This is truly an unexpected and wonderful thing.
Morin put the heart-eating worm powder into a special medicine bottle, placed it in a safe place on his person, and then, after checking his surroundings, walked in another direction.
They hadn't walked far when a group of people appeared ahead.
