Limited Free Chapter 0346 Demonic Plants
The campsite is a clearing in the forest that deviates from the path.
From the traces on the ground, it can be seen that caravans stay here all year round, so the simple wooden houses and cooking fires are all ready.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of permanent management, the facilities here are often damaged and attacked by jungle beasts.
Since it is just a temporary rest, the caravan cannot stay here for a long time.
From setting up the camp to preparing lunch and leaving after eating, it takes no more than 1 hour at most, and the reason for doing so is just to take care of the ordinary people who occupy the majority of the caravan.
And taking advantage of the short time when everyone takes a break for lunch, the apprentice witches can take the opportunity to explore some more distant areas.
In the depths of the Black Forest, if they are lucky, they can occasionally find some wild resource points. There are usually places where magic energy naturally gathers, so some wizard resources grow there.
After a long period of exploration and exploration, witches from any family may find such wild resource points and then try to hide them. In this way, they only need to come and harvest regularly every certain period of time.
And such harvest is also a considerable amount of resource income for witches!
So while the ordinary errand boy driving the cart was busy with lunch, witches and apprentices in groups of three or two rode on their brooms and went deep into the Black Forest.
Grimm and others were not familiar with the terrain here. Once they went too deep into the Black Forest, they would easily get lost. If they could not turn back in time for more than an hour, the caravan would not stop and wait for them. So passing wizards like Grimm could only sigh at the resource-rich Black Forest, but could not go treasure hunting and adventure in it like the witches.
However, with their strength, it would be no problem to move around within three or five miles around the camp.
And Grimm did the same.
…………
In the dense and dark forest.
Wild vines and bushes everywhere, plus gnarled tree roots that drilled out of the ground, as well as grass, moss, dead branches and leaves, and various strange flowers that could not be named, filled the entire clearing in the forest tightly, and ordinary people might find it difficult to even walk.
Grimm walked slowly forward, his eyes flashing blue, carefully and meticulously scanning the surrounding plants.
Many times, there is only a very narrow space for people to pass through the chaotically growing bushes, and the horizontal branches and brambles can easily cut through the soft and light cloth robe. Therefore, in such an area, wearing a thick and dense traveler's cloak outside can avoid making oneself too embarrassed.
Under Grimm's elemental vision, the dark and black color unique to the surrounding black forest gradually faded, and some different colors gradually appeared.
A large bush blocked the way, and the space in it was so narrow that only one person could pass sideways.
Grimm's blue eyes slowly swept over and smiled faintly.
When he stepped forward again, a faint red barrier appeared beside him.
The range of the barrier was not large, only two or three steps away, but its power was really not small.
All plants that touched the flame barrier would be instantly burned to ashes with a "bang". As Grimm continued to move forward, a road of ashes suddenly emerged from the dense vegetation. In the charred ashes, blood-red vines twisted and curled up crazily, whipping the ground and everything around them.
Some blood vines knew the opportunity to withdraw in time, curled up in the surrounding bushes and hid themselves again; while some blood vines struggled for a while, and finally couldn't stand the burning of the flame barrier, and finally turned into ashes like the surrounding grass and trees.
Grimm's arrival seemed to have sounded the death knell for the demonized plants. Suddenly, there were rustling noises in the bushes in front of him.
Countless vampire vines, carnivorous plants, and poisonous roses that were hidden in the bushes after being disguised swayed their short, thick, and forked lower limbs, and staggered away from Grimm's path.
The bushes in front of him were like shouting "Open Sesame". With a strange creaking sound, they made way for Grimm to pass through. And countless withered vines hanging from the tops of the tall trees began to curl and wriggle like snakes, slowly retracting their tentacles.
This place was still calm as usual, and it seemed safe and peaceful, just like a beautiful and warm grove behind the house, where people could go to explore after eating and drinking. However, when they removed their disguises under Grimm's coercion, they instantly turned into a magical forest with demons dancing wildly.
Of course, the scene in front of him was actually the truest side of the Black Forest, and the tranquility just now was just an illusion presented to the prey by the demonized plants after hiding their fangs and tentacles.
Grimm grabbed a blood vine that was rapidly retracting. In the middle of its long vine, a fist-sized tumor was extremely eye-catching.
As if sensing Grimm's malice, the blood vine twisted and trembled violently in his palm, but as the bright red fire elements quickly gathered, the bright flame instantly ignited the entire thing.
The elemental flame came and went quickly.
When the flame went out, the blood vine that was twitching like a snake just now had been burned to ashes, and it fell down, leaving only a thumb-sized light red crystal in Grimm's palm.
Blood crystal!
A very good crystal that can be used to replenish one's own blood.
Remember that in the magic swamp, as an apprentice, he had to regularly pick the blood sacs growing from the vampire vine. And that kind of blood sac is more than one or two levels worse than the blood crystal in front of him!
In the magic swamp, the vampire vine can hardly find much fresh and powerful blood food, so the blood sacs born are of extremely poor quality. How can it be compared with the blood crystal in his hand at this moment.
If Grimm was still an apprentice, this blood crystal could at least bring him a physical increase of 0.8-1.1. But now...
Grimm threw the blood crystal into his mouth and bit it gently. A sweet mucus with a strong grassy fragrance flowed into his stomach along the esophagus, making him warm and comfortable. And in the prompt of the chip, his blood and qi slowly swelled and were about to overflow.
That's it!
A blood crystal that can bring 1 point of physical increase to a wizard apprentice can only allow him to replenish his blood and qi. Apart from this, the other effects are almost non-existent! After all, after becoming wizards, their physiques have been specially tempered, and most of the resources and materials during the apprenticeship period are no longer effective for them.
Although it is impossible to improve physical fitness, if you eat it as a kind of "snack", it is still quite helpful for the body.
After figuring this out, Grimm simply walked around in the black forest with his hands behind his back. With the help of powerful elemental vision, anything in the black forest that shows abnormal colors in the elemental spectrum will attract his attention.
The blood crystals nurtured in the body of the vampire vine are light red; the roots and thorn tentacles of the human-shaped carnivorous plant are light blue; the leaves of the poisonous rose are purple; the juice of the magic grass is milky white...
Grimm, who saw such a rich monster resource for the first time, was a little flustered for a while.
One moment, he followed the long tentacles of the vampire vine to find its body hidden in the tall old tree, the next moment, he chased after the man-eating plant that twisted its thin waist and tried desperately to escape, and the next moment, he ignored the squeaking of the magic grass and pulled it out of the bushes by its roots...
Evil will be punished by evil!
The demonized plants that have always existed as hidden hunters have encountered real enemies today.
They don't have the flexible and agile bodies of demonized animals, so facing the vicious Grimm, they can only desperately dodge and hide themselves. Unfortunately, the short and clumsy forked lower limbs made their escape a joke, and hiding... What kind of camouflage skills can escape Grimm's elemental vision?
So, within an hour, this vast area of demonized plants rich in half a mile suffered a devastating disaster, and was almost extinct due to Grimm's barbaric picking of the ground!
Straightening up, estimating the time, Grimm looked at the nearby jungle with regret. There, in the pitch-black darkness, every flickering fluorescent spot was a target worth exploring.
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time!
When Grimm returned to the camp along the original route, the witches and apprentices who had gone out had returned one after another. The ordinary servants who drove the carriage had also finished eating and drinking, and after a simple rest, the team continued to move forward.
In the creaking carriage, Grimm opened the package in his hand and showed Alice the results of his hard work.
However, instead of the expected praise and surprise, he received unexpected questions and contempt.
"What? How did you do it? Haven't you learned any herbal knowledge? Why are there only blood crystals, but no vampire vine? Don't you know that the 3-meter-long body of the vampire vine is more precious than the blood crystal?..."
"What is this... Is it the rhizome of the Piranha Plant?... Don't tell me that you encountered a human-shaped Piranha Plant! Many wizards are willing to pay 40 magic crystals to buy this kind of magic plant... You won't burn them all, right?"
"Also... Why are the magic emperor grasses incomplete? When you pick the magic emperor grass, don't you know to keep their rhizomes intact?... Such incomplete magic emperor grasses will greatly reduce their value..."
Listening to Alice's nagging like a magic sound filling his brain, Grimm's mouth twitched, and for the first time he felt sad for his ignorance in herbal medicine.
Damn, isn't it just picking some magic materials? How can it become so troublesome!
Grimm's face immediately became ugly. chapter;
