Chapter 33: The Forest Is Crazy (2)

After regaining her composure, Merlin began to face the danger in front of her, and her brain spun rapidly.

First of all, the current situation is not as bad as I first thought, these dangerous plants are much cuter than the pursuers and fierce beasts, and the plants here are very luxuriant, and there are many kinds of plants, many of which are edible. These edible plants are not only rich in water, but also have high nutritional value, which is enough for her daily physical exertion, which ensures her most basic living conditions. This means that you have enough time to solve the problem.

In fact, in this dangerous environment, as long as you know where the danger is, it is relatively safe, and the next journey is called dangerous. Taking advantage of this time, she not only needs to be familiar with the jungle environment, but also tries to understand the characteristics of these dangerous plants, after all, although she can remember all the information in the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book", it does not mean that she can really understand. She had only seen most of the vegetation here, and had never been exposed to them, and she knew the gap between theory and practice, and the knowledge in it was far from what could be learned in the library.

Be careful to avoid the serrated leaves underfoot, this plant has extremely hard serrated cuticles at the edges of the leaves, and these serrations have very sharp tips that can easily be scratched if you are not careful. The worst thing is not this, but the tips of these serrations contain a special enzyme that prevents the blood from clotting. If you are scratched by a serrated leaf, you will see that your wound, which may be very small, is bleeding and will not coagulate anyway.

And in the water and clouds, it will be a very dangerous thing to be injured, it will not only mean the loss of physical strength and life, but also have a fatal attraction to the beast.

After processing the materials at hand, Merlin was very cautious when she traveled again, not only to pay attention to the plants that hit the four, but also the hidden dangers that lurked on the ground...... Cleatus is a vine plant as thick as wire, and it is usually hidden in the grass, it is difficult to spot, and once a creature steps on it, it will immediately rise like a poisonous snake and entangle its prey.

The wire vine is so tightly wound that it can even strangle bones, and ordinary swords can't cut it. However, as long as this wire vine finds its roots and disconnects it from the rhizome, it is the toughest silk thread, so Merlin will not let it go.

Her spirit was always highly tense, and she didn't dare to relax even a little, and the danger here seemed to be more concentrated than the intrigue in the academy, and the slightest negligence could lead to death.

Merlin stopped, and in front of her was a dozen very tall brocade trees, at least a hundred years old, with dense foliage. The leaves of the brocade silk tree are very peculiar, each one is like a piece of silk, very bright and beautiful, and extremely tough, not easy to break.

After carefully observing the plants around her, and making sure that there were no dangerous plants such as clemat vines or phantom wind chimes, Merlin climbed the tree and picked more than 20 leaves...... The former is an octagonal fist-sized fruit, which is soft and yellow when ripe, and tastes like it has just been roasted, and the latter is a gourd-shaped fruit with plenty of water and a weak energy, which not only tastes good when drunk, but also restores physical strength, and Merlin collects a lot.

A total of eight leaf packets were glued, most of which contained food and water, and some of which contained collected materials. If you change to a pampered person, maybe you don't know what to do, but Merlin cut a long branch, and hung the eight tree bags in two, and carried them like carrying water...... If she was outside, no one would think she was a wizard.

......

In the blink of an eye, Merlin had been living in the forest for seventeen days, and according to the guidance of the stars, if there were no accidents, in a few days, she might come to the planned swamp, as long as she crossed the swamp, she would be considered to be out of the water and clouds.

Now Merlin can be called a plant expert, the water and clouds are like a plant paradise, countless plants break your perception of them from time to time, Merlin was full of curiosity and excitement at the beginning, but now she is numb. Except for some materials that she could use in front of her, everything else she recorded and drew a map, and she could come here to collect it when she needed it, and it would save her waste of materials, after all, she couldn't pick all the medicinal materials in a forest and take them away.

Merlin's biggest gain was on the twenty-third day, when she had come out of the jungle and seen the sun...... Merlin breathed greedily in the sun-smelling air, she felt like moss was about to grow in her lungs, and although she had used a small cleansing spell on herself, she always felt that her body was so wet that it was about to give birth to bacteria.

There's a word called happiness and sorrow, and Merlin is obviously lucky to have a break...... With a screech, a huge figure swooped down from above, the wind howled, Merlin's cheeks were scraped painfully, and she happened to step on a somewhat loose cobblestone, and the sudden attack made her lose her balance and fall suddenly, and the flat pole and those leaf bags were scattered on the ground.

"Careless!"

Merlin's heart sank, and she rolled down with her body without hesitation...... Her judgment was correct, just as her figure rolled down the hillside, a crimson figure fell towards the place where she fell, and in the dust flying, there was also the sound of stones breaking, and then a large crimson bird rose into the sky, a pair of cold little eyes stared at Mei Lin, who was rolling downward, ready to attack.

Red Wind Falcon!

A fierce bird known for its speed and strength, Merlin didn't dare to provoke it before she became an official wizard apprentice, but she didn't expect to be targeted by her today.

There was a 'bang', and Mei Lin, who rolled down the hill, didn't know what had been knocked off, but she didn't have time to look closely...... Just as her body stopped, she had already rolled over and jumped to her feet, drawing the knight's sword.

Almost as soon as she flipped up, the Red Wind Falcon had already swooped down, a pair of pale yellow claws catching at the head.

Mei Lin swung her sword hard, 'Zheng Zheng' sounded twice, she involuntarily retreated again and again, as if something was broken under her feet, she couldn't care about it, at this moment, the Red Wind Falcon missed the air with a blow, and it had already risen into the air again.

"Grading...... Guidance of fire!"

A fist-sized fireball condensed from Merlin's hand, and the Red Wind Falcon, which swooped down again, seemed to realize the danger and flapped its wings to get out of it...... But it slowed down a bit, and the fireball slammed into its belly, and then burst into flames.

'Ga ......'

The Red Wind Falcon screamed and turned into a fireball that landed on the hillside, but Merlin closed her eyes with a look of surprise on her face.
