Exploring Technology in a Wizard World

After a good dozen seconds, the spell ended, and the temperature in the entire cavern suddenly increased by more than ten degrees. In the field ravaged by the fire rain, nearly a hundred Demonized Lizards had already died, either burned into charcoal or incinerated into ashes, and the air was scalding hot. Taking a deep breath felt like gulping down boiling water, with a burning sensation spreading from the mouth, throat, and esophagus all the way into the lungs.

Seeing this scene, Bobbobovic opened his mouth in surprise, then switched to an embarrassed expression, saying to Joseph, "Well, Wizard Joseph, I wasn't prepared earlier, so… I couldn't fight off so many Demonized Lizards by myself. Thanks for the help. But after this, such a situation definitely won't happen again. I'm ready to give it my all, and there won't be a second unexpected incident."

Joseph said, "Bobo... Wizard Vici, actually, there's no need to feel embarrassed. After all, none of us expected you to attract so many Demonized Lizards on your own.

But this is also a good thing. According to the clues provided by the previous people, the number of Demonized Lizards in these Ancient Relics isn't very high, just a hundred or so. With what you did, perhaps we've wiped them all out, saving us from being ambushed later on."

At this point, Joseph paused and became serious: "Of course, as we continue our exploration, we'll venture into areas that haven't been explored before, and won't have any references, so we must proceed with caution."

"Perfect, I'll volunteer to lead the way myself." Bobbobovic originally wanted to show off his strength, but was unexpectedly thwarted twice in a row, feeling quite frustrated inside, immediately requested after hearing Joseph's words, "Next, I'll take on the task of exploring with full force, guaranteeing no accidents."

"Sounds good," Joseph agreed.

"Then watch me." Bobbobovic took a deep breath and started fetching potions from his bosom.

One bottle.

"Gulp!"

Two bottles.

"Gulp!"

Three bottles.

"Gulp!"

Four bottles…

Bobbobovic took out over ten bottles of potions, gulped them down in one breath, and after finishing, his aura instantly changed, becoming powerful and sharp.

"Just wait and watch me perform." Bobbobovic said, glancing at Joseph, stepped forward, and dashed into the darkness ahead.

Before long, the faint sound of rumbling came through, indicating a battle had started.

Afterwards, the rumbling ceased, marking the end of the battle.

Then the rumbling started again, signifying that combat had resumed.

And again, the rumbling stopped…

After several repetitions, Richard and Joseph had roughly guessed Bobbobovic's situation, without much fuss, they stepped forward.

They walked on for several hundred meters, reaching Bobbobovic.

They saw, dozens of meters away, a fist-sized glowing orb hanging above, illuminating the surrounding ground. Bobbobovic was casting spells continuously, dealing with a brand new creature—not Demonized Lizards, but Demonized Spiders.

Yes, Demonized Spiders.

The newly emerged Demonized Spiders were about the size of a human head, entirely silver-gray, with very fast speed. They had peculiar markings on their exterior, roughly resembling a human face, appearing quite eerie.

The attack methods of these spiders were somewhat similar to the previous Demonized Lizards and had been enhanced: one was to spray toxic Acid Liquid from a distance, and the other was to explode their entire body when within proximity.

As such, Bobbobovic cautiously kept his distance from the Demonized Spiders, using compressed Air Shields to repeatedly bounce the Demonized Spiders away, while dodging the opponent's Acid Liquid sprays and using spells to kill them one by one.

By the time Richard and Joseph arrived, Bobbobovic's battle was nearing its end, with well over a hundred Demonized Spider corpses lying on the ground, visibly proving that Bobbobovic's strength was indeed considerable, far surpassing that of an average Third-level Wizard.

"Zing!"

Another ball of blue Energy Missile was hurled from Bobbobovic's hand, hitting the last Demonized Spider and smashing its body, bringing the scene to silence.

Bobbobovic took a deep breath, looking slightly weary, and glanced at Joseph, saying, "So, Wizard Joseph, did my performance let you down?"

"Of course not," Joseph replied.

"That's good then…" Bobbobovic relaxed his expression, but just halfway through speaking, a hiss suddenly came from the darkness nearby, followed by a gush of stench.

"Swish!"

Following this, a Black Shadow charged out from the dark, landing in the field—a Demonized Spider over a meter long. Its color had changed from silver-gray to pale gold, appearing to be an Evolved Body of the previous ordinary Demonized Spiders.

The most captivating feature of this Evolved Body was a pair of eyes, extremely large, like two black gemstones. In Richard's opinion, it resembled a certain animated character from Earth—a big-eyed little spider named Lucas, although on the other hand, it indicated the spider had extraordinary vision.

Seeing the big-eyed Evolved Spider, Bobbobovic couldn't help but exclaim, "This spider has such huge nostrils!"

Richard: "..."

Joseph spoke up, "Need any help?"

"No need, it's just a spider with big nostrils, no matter how big, I can take it down." Bobbobovic said, aiming to showcase his power, raised his hand and launched a spell towards the Evolved Spider, engaging it in battle.

Upon engagement, Bobbobovic clearly felt the Evolved Spider's strength, far surpassing the previous Demonized Spiders by more than a hundred times. Its body was incredibly strong and resistant, making it difficult for his spells to inflict effective damage, while the strong acid it sprayed could corrode rocks, forcing him to dodge carefully.

After engaging for a while, Bobbobovic fell completely into a disadvantageous position, almost being chased around by the Evolved Spider, finally realizing the big nostrils weren't easy to deal with.

Yet, he was reluctant to ask for help, thinking it too shameful and spineless, gritting his teeth, he reached into his bosom again to pull out a potion bottle.

This potion bottle was very different from the ones he drank earlier.

The glass bottle containing the potion was a size larger than a regular bottle, made from more robust material, not easily breakable. Complex engravings on its surface were used to stabilize the temperature, ensuring the potion within wouldn't easily degrade.

The potion was a pale green color, resembling concentrated tree sap, and as one approached, one could distinctly feel a natural, wild aura.

After taking out this potion, Bobbobovic gave a profound look at the Evolved Spider, forced it back with a spell to open up some distance, then uncorked the bottle and drank the potion all at once.

"Swish!"

A more potent and sharp aura erupted from Bobbobovic's body, followed by astonishing mana fluctuations.
