Wasteland 2

The bee stings on Alvin's cheeks swelled into lumps, pushing the skin to the point of almost bursting, and even the blue veins under the skin could be seen.

Fortunately, the physique of a level two apprentice was far beyond that of ordinary people, so Alvin, who had suffered bee stings, did not suffer fatal injuries. But the side effect of the high physique was that Alvin did not faint but screamed in pain.

After the wild bee swarm was driven away, the frightened Rebecca immediately ran back with Louisa. Rebecca's healing technique could reduce swelling and relieve pain for such bee stings.

So after her treatment, although Alvin's face did not return to normal, the unbearable pain was relieved a lot.

Rebecca, who had successfully performed healing magic, also caused a huge change in the senses of others to her, who had only reached the strength of a level one apprentice.

The view that Rebecca was useless in the team relying on her relationship with Raymond was quickly reversed. Even Felix, who had always been arrogant, was polite to Rebecca.

But Alvin's injury still slowed down everyone's progress. And after experiencing the encounter with the wild bee swarm, everyone became more alert and no longer thought this wasteland was harmless.

But the biggest harvest in this encounter was Raymond.

Because in the process of killing the wild bee swarm, the protective stance that had always surrounded Felix also became disordered after he performed two fire magic spells in a row.

Raymond, who had always paid attention to Felix, took the opportunity to collect Felix's body data through his chip when his protective stance became disordered.

"Felix: Human. Strength 1.5, Agility 1.3, Physique 1.4, Spirit 18.2, Magic 54.8. Gene information: unknown. Physical condition: Healthy."

But the data probed by the chip also made Raymond a little frightened.

Although Felix's physique was slightly lower than Raymond's, his powerful spirit and more abundant magic made his strength formidable.

According to the simulation of the chip, if Raymond could only confront him head-on with magic, Raymond would have almost no chance of winning.

Especially since Felix was a person with the potential affinity for fire, according to the simulation of the chip's combat between the two sides, Raymond's protective shield would be severely suppressed when facing his flame attack, losing the defensive effect it should have.

"Luckily we're teammates now, but if there's a conflict..." Raymond frowned, thought for a long time, and then smiled bitterly to himself. "It seems I can only keep my distance and hope to exhaust his magic power, or I can only run away."

And in the following journey, the creatures on this vast wasteland began to increase gradually. The unique creatures of this wasteland began to appear one after another.

The wasteland wolf with a size of only over two feet, the extremely fast underground gray rabbit, the carnivorous ants that overwhelmed everything with their numerical superiority, and the mutated wasteland hamsters.

As Raymond and the others went deeper, the creatures in the wasteland also made everyone understand why the Wizard Academy positioned this area as suitable for level two apprentices to enter.

There were no creatures that were too large or beyond the strength of a level one apprentice on this wasteland. As long as the entrants were sufficiently vigilant, a team of five people would be enough to deal with the potential dangers here.

But when a week passed, the large amount of materials available to wizards in the wasteland filled everyone's backpacks almost to the brim, and everyone was a little helpless.

Because when they saw more precious materials, they could only discard those of lower value to make room to continue collecting.

In ten days, a large amount of materials became everyone's spoils of war. Alvin was more familiar with the value of these things. According to his calculations, the materials collected by each person could be exchanged for hundreds of magic stones after returning to the academy.

Such abundant harvest also made everyone's mood cheerful.

Alvin's distress at discarding low-value materials also became one of Raymond's daily pleasures.

Alvin's backpack was the largest in the whole team. Although each plant weighed very little, Alvin's backpack, more than three times his own size on his back, still made him the most amusing person in the team.

However, Felix's expression toward such a harvest was rather indifferent. It seemed that such a harvest was not particularly attractive to him.

And Louisa, clinging to Felix, seemed to choose only some lightweight but valuable materials for collection because of Felix.

But the biggest harvesters in this team were Raymond and Re becca.

Because with his extensive knowledge of plants, Raymond shared the harvest with Rebecca while allowing Raymond to obtain the highest return in the entire team with the least weight.

Raymond was not interested in plants for making basic wizard potions at all. Their backpacks were filled with materials for removing petrification, potent antidotes, and even important materials for making potions to remove abnormal conditions.

Although these plants were relatively rare in this vast wasteland, in these days, the value of the backpacks on Raymond and Rebecca had also increased to the scale of thousands of magic stones.

And as everyone went deeper, such gains became easier. Although no excessively precious materials could be obtained, an income of dozens of magic stones per day could still be expected.

Therefore, in the third week of everyone entering the wasteland, Alvin's huge backpack slowed down their progress.

And the desert suitable for level three apprentices to enter was also unfolding before everyone's eyes.

Facing the desert to reach the area suitable for level three apprentices after crossing it, Felix, who finally refused to give in, strongly demanded leaving this wasteland and entering there.

After two weeks of exploration in this wasteland, Raymond was also moved by Felix's idea. But Alvin, who firmly refused to abandon the wealth in his backpack, made the request to return.

For Alvin, the current harvest had already exceeded his expectations. Although the area suitable for level three apprentices represented more generous rewards, Alvin could not continue with the load reaching its limit.

Therefore, after considering the pros and cons, Raymond put forward his compromise.

Alvin, Rebecca, and Louisa would return directly to the beast car. A team of three people would allow them to maintain combat effectiveness while safely taking away the harvest.

Raymond would cross the desert with Felix and enter the area suitable for level three apprentices...
