Chapter 4

However, the Wind Wolf’s eyes were filled with nervousness and fear.

Through its instinctive reaction, it could feel that the human in front of it was a fatal threat to it. The dense earth element barrier in front of it was like a mountain that suppressed its fate.

Suddenly, the Wind Wolf lowered its body and whimpered. It actually walked slowly towards the side of the cave with its tail between its legs.

It seemed like it wanted to escape by pretending to be pitiful.

A hint of surprise appeared in Reiter’s eyes. This Wind Wolf’s intelligence was not simple. It was much smarter than ordinary Class 1 Wind Wolves. No wonder there was a bloodline change in the simulator.

Reiter’s eyes flashed with coldness. In that case, it was even more impossible for him to let this Wind Wolf go. He silently recited a few incantations. His mental power was quickly consumed, and the earth elements in the air produced obscure fluctuations.

Then, the ground suddenly shattered. Immediately after, three long earthen yellow spikes emerged from the ground of the Wind Wolf.

The spike actually pierced through the Wind Wolf’s abdomen and came out of its body. With a whoosh, it spat out blood.

The Wind Wolf rolled its eyes and let out an unwilling roar, ending its life hastily.

Although it was only a Level-1 Earth-type spell, “Earth Thrust”, it was very practical, especially on the ground. Not only was it lethal, but it was also not easy to guard against. Especially when it was cast by Reiter, who was a Grade 2 Mage, a single strike could end the life of a magical beast like the Wind Wolf, which was known for its speed.

After seeing the Wind Wolf fall, Reiter’s eyes flashed with joy. Now, he could basically confirm that this was the nest of the Class 2 Wind Wolf mentioned in the Word Simulation.

But it was only a Class 1 Wind Wolf now and had already become a corpse!

There was naturally no need to say anything else.

He glanced at the corpse of the Wind Wolf lying three meters away from his feet excitedly. If it was any other time, he would have dissected it immediately, skinned it, eviscerated it, and searched for magic crystals.

But now, he threw these things to the back of his mind and went straight to the depths of the cave. He looked left and right, perusing every detail. He did not miss a single corner and carefully searched for the legacy left behind by the Grade 5 Magister.

The internal structure of the nest was not complicated. Most of them were the bones of wild beasts, and the rest were rubble. In the end, after Reiter pushed aside a pile of gravel and hay, he found a hole that was only about a meter wide.

“Found it! It’s here!” Reiter’s eyes lit up.

Since the simulation did not mention any traps or mechanisms, he thought that there should not be any. However, with his many years of experience in the army, he still cautiously used his mental power to shake the structure of the ground to confirm that there was nothing abnormal.

Then, he squatted down with relief and checked them one by one.

The first thing that caught Reiter’s attention was a damaged wand. Reiter reached out and held it in his hand. It was full of cracks, and he could feel the rough friction when he touched it. There was no inlay at the top of the wand. Generally speaking, the missing part should have been a modified magic crystal.

“It used to be at least a fifth-grade wand. Unfortunately, without the magic crystal and with the many cracks on the wand, its value has been greatly reduced.” Reiter’s eyes flashed with pity as he put it aside.

Without the wand, the hole at the bottom was instantly filled with holes. The world here was not what Reiter had imagined. In the novels he had read in his previous life, almost everyone had an interspatial ring.

Here, anything that involved the power of space was basically a precious item. In particular, alchemy products that could permanently store items had always been priceless and incomparably expensive.

Even a Great Archmage could not get one each, let alone ordinary people.

There were still a few bottles of potions of different colors left in the pit, as well as an ancient book.

Seeing this, Reiter nervously brought everything up, but he did not care about the book. Even if the book contained a top-notch meditation technique, it would be useless if it could not cure his White-Headed Eagle Poison.

Even if he were to trade with someone else, it was more likely that the other party would be tempted by wealth. It was impossible for him to make a deal with him calmly.

In the end, it was because he was not strong enough. The connections, resources, and foundation he had accumulated were also insufficient.

The most important thing now was to understand the hidden danger in his body in the shortest time possible.

There were a total of five bottles of potions. Reiter frowned and checked them one by one. With his experience, he could easily identify four of them.

Two of them were Moonshine Potions. They could greatly increase the efficiency of meditation and increase mental power. Normally, they would be of great help to him.

The other bottle was a poison called the Black Crow’s Death.

Reiter was no stranger to it. He had seen it in the army. The Black Crow’s Death was a precious strategic resource. It was smeared on weapons. If the enemy was injured and blood was spilled, the poison would erupt.

All knights below Grade 3 would die if they touched it.

Even Grade 4 Earth Knights dared not ignore the toxicity of the Black Crow’s Death.

But Earth Knights’ constitution could suppress the Black Crow’s Death for a certain period of time. As long as they were given time to run the combat aura, they could gradually refine it.

Right now, there was still half of the bottle of Black Crow’s Death left. Reiter estimated that it had already poisoned dozens of people to death.

As for the fourth bottle, strictly speaking, it was not a potion.

After careful identification, although he couldn’t determine the exact name, he could confirm that it was the essence liquid left behind by a high-level water-type magical beast. It might be tears, saliva, blood, and so on. It was generally shortened to water-type essence.

In short, this essence contained extremely condensed and gentle water elements that were extremely active. It had at least reached the sixth level.

As far as Reiter knew, this water-type essence was usually used to nurture magic plants or prepare special water-type magical beasts.

These things were very precious, and it would be enough to make Reiter cheer in the past.

However, at this moment, Reiter frowned. A trace of doubt gradually appeared in his eyes as he thought of that Wind Wolf.

It had already transformed into a Class 2 Mutant Magical Beast in the spring of next year. This meant that there must be some external factor stimulating it.

Then, he looked at this unfamiliar potion. There was an earthen-yellow liquid flowing in it, and it even emitted specks of light. He unscrewed the cork of the bottle and smelled a rich smell. He felt an inexplicable urge!

Could it be a bloodline potion?

A thought flashed across Reiter’s mind. His hand holding the bottle trembled slightly, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes. Gradually, it turned into a joy that was about to go crazy. He stared at the bottle in his hand and muttered, “The only thing that can mutate creatures is the bloodline potion.”

I hope it helps me. Even if it doesn’t, there’s no other choice!

Determination flashed in his eyes as he raised his head and swallowed it.
