Chapter 65: Plant Team (seeking for follow-up reading)
The first match of the semi-finals was Ophelia versus Richard. As Ophelia walked onto the ring, Richard followed suit.
Regarding Ophelia, Richard carefully observed every previous battle of her opponent. Judging from the way she was able to deal with her opponent with ease, her full combat effectiveness could not be seen in the previous battles.
She definitely has a trump card, but she doesn’t know whether her trump card is a witchcraft that has never been performed before, or a mutated plant that has never appeared!
Secondly, for any player who can defeat many powerful opponents and successfully reach the semi-finals, Richard has no reason to underestimate the opponent.
Richard looked at the calm face of the green-haired girl and knew that the battle he was about to face might not be easier than his fight against Davos.
"Hey, who do you think can win? Maybe Richard can beat Olivia~" a girl asked excitedly.
"Ophelia, the goddess in my heart, must win. Look at how unique her green hair is!" said a new fan of Ophelia.
"When did Ophelia become the goddess in your heart? Wasn't your previous goddess Keely?" the girl next to her asked in surprise.
"Oh! I was rejected! I gave up on Keely, Ophelia is now my new target!" The new fan of Ophelia said with confidence.
"Tch~ You can't even take down Keely. Do you think you can take down Ophelia by yourself? Stop daydreaming!" The girl sneered and expressed disdain.
"Hey, have you noticed that Richard is actually a bit handsome? He is just a little short, but I heard that he is only thirteen years old and should be able to grow a lot taller." A man with freckles on his face The girl said softly to her best friend next to her.
"What, do you have an idea? I think you can give it a try. Anyway, I haven't heard that he has a girl he likes so far. If you take the initiative, maybe things will work out~" the best friend next to him joked with a smile.
"It's not impossible to be proactive! When the game is over, I'll go find him!" The freckled girl clenched her fists and made up her mind!
"Ah! Renee, are you serious? I thought you were joking!" the freckled girl's best friend said in surprise.
"Renee, you'd better save it. Richard has a very beautiful senior who is chasing him, so you probably have no hope!" Ram's girlfriend Courtney interjected.
"Ah~ That's it!" The freckled girl's face suddenly fell.
"Renee, I support you. How will you know if you don't try? Have confidence!" At this time, her best friend encouraged her.
"."
On the ring, the third-level wizard apprentice said, "The first round of the semi-finals, Richard Clavell versus Ophelia Acorn, starts now!" As soon as the
words fell, the two started shooting at each other, because Taking advantage of the crossbow's continuous firing, Richard had to dodge Ophelia's double crossbow as soon as he fired one arrow!
After Ophelia took the lead, she didn't waste any time. She immediately scattered several seeds on the ground and began to cast spells quickly.
As soon as Richard saw it, he shot arrows continuously, hoping to interrupt Ophelia's spellcasting.
But what surprised Richard was that Ophelia's spell casting was extremely fast this time, taking only half a second. It seemed that the witchcraft she cast this time was not like the thorn entanglement spell or the mutated growth spell she had cast before. A kind of zero-level witchcraft, because the speed is too fast!
A few seeds sprouted quickly and grew into plate-sized mushrooms with red umbrellas and white handles, which looked very delicious.
"Hey, this is an extraordinary cultivation of the natural system. A trick can be used so well!" said a blond level two wizard apprentice on the audience stage.
"Oh, is it a natural magic trick? It looks very practical!" The brown-haired apprentice next to him was convinced of this, because the blond apprentice who just spoke was one of the few people he knew who had practiced natural magic. A man of sorcery and conjuring.
"Yes, I usually use this trick to ripen fruits and vegetables. It's very useful!" the blond second-level wizard apprentice added.
"Fruits and vegetables?" The brown-haired second-level wizard apprentice was speechless!
I saw these red umbrella mushrooms running very fast one by one, rushing towards Richard!
When Richard saw it, he instinctively didn't want these red mushrooms to get close to him, so he immediately used the black feather arrows to perform three multiple shots. "Boom, boom, boom!"
What surprised Richard was that as his black-feathered arrows hit, the mushrooms exploded one by one, and then a large piece of light red mist quickly formed over the explosion area.
With the explosion of seven or eight red umbrella mushrooms, Richard and Ophelia were separated by a large cloud of red mist.
It turns out that this is Ophelia’s tactic!
After knowing that Richard was a top archer, Ophelia planned to find a way to isolate the other party's sight at the beginning.
Only in this way could she have a chance to perform zero-level witchcraft. Otherwise, with Richard harassing and shooting from the side, she would never be able to perform any zero-level witchcraft.
After the red mist took effect, Ophelia threw another seed on the ground. This time, she should have used the thorn entanglement technique.
The seeds of the bloodthirsty demonic vine began to grow rapidly, and soon it was like a dark green vine wall, protecting her.
Upon seeing this, Richard was not in a hurry. After casting a dark element shield on himself, he waited for the red smoke in the center of the field to dissipate naturally.
After the smoke dissipated, Richard glanced at the opposite side and was shocked.
I saw that Ophelia had been heavily protected by a dark green vine wall. The vines were thick and had barbs. It was obvious at a glance that they were extremely tough!
In front of the vine wall is a giant trap grass that has appeared many times in previous battles. It has a huge opening and closing on the top. Between opening and closing, the sharp barbs are visible!
There are also two huge flowering plants with a diameter of at least three meters. Five huge red petals surround a red round hole, and a light red turbid liquid is bubbling inside.
Because he was downwind, Richard immediately smelled a disgusting corpse smell coming from the huge flowering plants.
The freshmen in the audience looked at the two flower-like plants that appeared for the first time and had no idea what they were called.
But for the well-informed second- and third-level wizard apprentices, there are still many people who can recognize the strange flowers in front of them at a glance.
"Venom Rafflesia!" A second-level wizard apprentice said seriously.
"Oh, from the name, this flower should be able to spray venom?" Another second-level wizard apprentice next to him asked curiously.
"Yes, the venom sprayed is very powerful, extremely corrosive and stinky. Just smelling it will make you dizzy! This kind of flower usually only grows near sulfur hot springs, and the seeds are even more difficult to obtain. I don't know. How did you get this Ophelia?"
"Near the sulfur hot springs? Doesn't it grow in ordinary hot springs?" the male apprentice next to him asked with a surprised look on his face.
"It doesn't grow. It only appears occasionally near sulfur hot springs!" the second-level wizard apprentice replied with certainty.
The grass and two flowers on the stage were quickly attacking Richard with the help of their own roots!
With a normal expression on his face, Richard unhurriedly pulled out a steel arrow and aimed at a Venom Rafflesia flower.
Since Ophelia summoned plants as helpers, he had to deal with her helpers one by one first!
