The campsite is a clearing in the woods off the trail.
It can be seen from the traces on the ground that caravans have stayed here all year round, so the simple wooden houses and cooking fire pits are all ready-made.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of permanent management, the facilities here are often damaged and invaded by jungle beasts.
Since it is just a temporary break, the convoy cannot stay here for a long time.
From setting up camp to preparing lunch and then leaving after eating, it only takes an hour at best, and the reason for doing this is just to take care of the majority of ordinary people in the convoy.
And by taking advantage of everyone's short lunch break, the trainee witches can take the opportunity to explore further areas.
In the depths of the Black Forest, if they are lucky, they can occasionally find some wild resource points. These are usually places where magical energy naturally gathers, so some wizard resources also grow there.
After a long period of exploration and exploration, witches from any family may discover such wild resource points, and then find ways to hide them. In this way, they can steadily run to harvest them at regular intervals.
And such a harvest is also a considerable resource gain for witches!
So while the common men driving the carriages were busy having lunch, witches and apprentices in twos and threes got on their broomsticks and got into the depths of the black forest.
Greem and others are not familiar with the terrain here. Once they go too deep into the black forest, they will easily lose their way. If they cannot turn back in time for more than an hour, the caravan will not stop and wait for them. Therefore, passing wizards like Greem
, I can only look at the resource-rich black forest and sigh inwardly, but I can't hunt for treasures and explore in it like the witches.
However, with their strength, there is no problem in simply moving around within three to five miles of the camp.
And Greem did the same thing.
…………
In the dense dark forest.
There are wild vines and shrubs all over the place, plus the roots of the trees that drill out of the ground, as well as the grass, moss, dead branches and leaves and all kinds of strange flowers that cannot be named, covering the entire forest glade.
Everything has filled the entire forest clearing so tightly that it would be difficult for ordinary people to pass through.
Greem moved forward slowly, his eyes flashing with blue light as he carefully and meticulously scanned the surrounding plants.
Many times, there is only a very narrow space for people to walk through the chaotically growing shrubs, and the horizontal branches and thorns can easily scratch the soft and light cloth. Therefore, in such an area, it is best to wear a thick coat outside.
A dense traveler's cloak can prevent yourself from being too embarrassed.
Under Greem's elemental vision, the unique gloom and blackness of the surrounding black forest gradually faded, and some different colors were gradually revealed.
A large bush blocked the way, and the space was so narrow that only one person could pass sideways.
Greem's faintly blue eyes slowly swept over him, and he smiled faintly.
When he stepped forward again, a faint red barrier appeared beside him.
The area covered by the barrier is not large, only two or three steps away, but its power is really not small.
All plants that touch the flame barrier will be instantly incinerated into ashes with a 'peng' sound. As Greem continues to move forward, a path of ashes suddenly appears among the densely packed plants. And between the blackened ashes
In the middle, blood-red vines twisted and curled up crazily, beating the ground and everything around them hard.
Some blood vines retreated in time and curled up into the surrounding shrubs to hide themselves again; while some blood vines struggled for a while, but finally could not withstand the burning of the flame barrier, and eventually turned into fly ash like the surrounding vegetation.
.
Greem's arrival seemed to sound the death knell of the demonized plants, and for a moment there was a strange rustling sound in the bushes in front of him.
Countless vampire vines, piranha flowers, and poisonous roses were disguised and hidden in the bushes. They swayed their short and short forked lower limbs and staggered away from Greem's path.
The bushes in front of him were like shouting "Open Sesame". Amidst a strange creaking sound, Greem was given an unobstructed path. And countless withered yellow trees hanging from the tops of the tall trees
The vines began to curl and squirm like snakes, slowly retracting their tentacles.
It was as peaceful as usual just now, and it seemed as safe and peaceful as the beautiful and warm grove behind the house, where people could go and explore after eating and drinking. However, when they were forced by Greem to remove their disguise,
In an instant, it turned into a magical forest where demons danced wildly.
Of course, the scene in front of you is actually the most real side of the black forest, and the peace and tranquility just now is just an illusion presented to the prey by the demonized plants hiding their fangs and tentacles.
Greem grabbed a blood vine that was rapidly retracting. In the middle of its long vine, a fist-sized knob was extremely eye-catching.
As if sensing Greem's malice, the blood vine twisted and trembled violently in his hand. However, as the bright red fire elements quickly gathered, the bright flame instantly ignited the entire thing.
The elemental flames come and go just as quickly.
After the flames were extinguished, the blood vine that had been twitching like a snake just now had been burned into ashes and sprinkled down, leaving only a light red crystal the size of a thumb in Greem's palm.
Blood crystal!
A very good crystal that can be used to replenish one's own blood.
I remember that in the Magic Swamp, as an apprentice, he regularly needed to pick the blood sacs that grew from the vampire vines. And that kind of blood sacs were more than one or two grades worse than the blood crystals in front of him!
In the magic swamp, the vampire vines could hardly find much fresh and powerful blood food, so the quality of the blood sacs they produced was also extremely poor. It could not be compared with the blood crystal in their hands at this moment.
If Greem was still an apprentice, this blood crystal could at least bring him a physical increase of 0.8-1.1. But now...
Greem threw the blood crystal into his mouth and bit it gently, and a sweet mucus with a rich green aroma of grass and wood poured into his stomach pouch along the esophagus, making his whole body warm and comfortable. And in the chip
At the reminder, his Qi and blood slowly swelled, almost reaching fullness.
That’s it!
A blood crystal that can bring a 1-point physical increase to a wizard apprentice can only replenish his energy and blood. Apart from that, it has almost no other effects! After all, after becoming a wizard, their physique has gone through special changes.
Tempering, most of the resources and materials of the apprenticeship are no longer available to them.
Although it is impossible to improve your physical fitness, if you eat it as a 'snack', it can still be quite helpful to the body.
After understanding this, Greem simply walked around the black forest with his hands behind his back. With the help of powerful elemental vision, anything in the black forest that showed abnormal colors in the elemental spectrum would attract
his attention.
The blood crystals bred in the body of the vampire vine are light red; the rhizomes and thorny tentacles of the humanoid piranha are light blue; the leaves of the poisonous rose are purple; the juice of the magic grass is milky white...
It was the first time for Greem to see such rich monster resources, and he became a little confused for a while.
For a while, he followed the long tentacles of the vampire vine to find its true body hidden in the tall ancient trees. For a while, he chased after the piranha, which was twisting its tiny waist and trying to escape. For a while, it ignored the magic grass.
They squeaked strangely and uprooted them from the bushes...
Evil people will be punished by evil people!
The demonized plants, which have always existed as hidden hunters, have met their real enemies today.
They do not have the flexible and muscular bodies of demonized animals, so facing the extremely vicious Greem, they can only desperately avoid and hide themselves. Unfortunately, their short and clumsy forked lower limbs make their escape a joke.
And hiding... what kind of disguise can evade Greem's elemental vision?
As a result, within an hour, this vast and half-mile-deep area rich in demonized plants was completely destroyed, almost wiped out by Grim's barbaric harvesting method of digging three feet into the ground!
After straightening up and estimating the time, Greem looked regretfully at the nearby jungle. There, in the dark darkness, every flickering fluorescent light was a target worth exploring.
Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough time!
When Greem returned to the camp along the original route, the witches and apprentices who had gone out had returned one after another. The ordinary handymen who drove the carriage had also finished eating and drinking. After a brief rest, the convoy continued to move forward.
.
In the creaking carriage, Grim opened the package in his hand and showed Alice the results of his hard work.
However, instead of the expected compliments and surprises, he received unexpected questions and eye-rolls.
"What? How did you do it? Have you never learned any knowledge about herbal medicine? Why are there only blood crystals and not the body of the vampire vine? Don't you know that the body of the vampire vine is about 3 meters long?
Is it more precious than blood crystal?..."
"What is this... is it the rhizome of a piranha?... Don't tell me that you encountered a human-shaped piranha! Many wizards are willing to pay 40 magic crystals to buy this kind of magical plant... You won't
Burn them all?"
"Also...why are all the Demon Emperor Grasses incomplete? When you picked the Demon Emperor Grass, didn't you know that you should keep their roots intact?...Such incomplete Demon Emperor Grass will greatly reduce their value...
"
Listening to Alice's nagging like a magic voice filling his brain, the corners of Grim's mouth twitched, and for the first time he felt sad for his ignorance in herbal medicine.
Damn it, isn't it just picking up some magic materials? How could it become so troublesome!
