Chapter 32: The Forest Is Crazy (1)

The more Merlin walked, the more uneasy she felt in her heart. It was so quiet that at first you could hear the occasional whining of insects, but now it was silent. The creaking sound of stepping on a thick layer of rotting leaves was harsh in the silence of the jungle.

The water and clouds are not only the habitat and stocking grounds of the academy, but also a barrier for the academy, even if there are some places that have been discovered, the official wizards of the academy are not very willing to approach, let alone those places that no one has ever entered, wizards usually enter in groups, little by little.

Merlene's nerves tensed at this time, and she looked around from time to time, and the bow of Aleus became not only her weapon, but also her pathfinder staff.

The damp, somewhat decaying air was inhaled into her lungs, and she had a strange feeling in her heart, and as she went deeper, the vegetation became denser and denser.

There are so many strange plants that people are so dazzled that anyone who suddenly finds themselves in Merlin's current position will mistakenly think that they are in a botanical garden. In a place where there is little direct sunlight on, these plants are growing eerily well.

"If this is really a natural medicine garden!"

Looking at the verdant leaves and colorful flowers in front of her, Merlin's eyelids jumped wildly, and even though she was on the run at this time, she couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Starry, blood-dripping orchid, sawtooth leaves......

Oh, my God!

These medicinal materials are all materials for refining medium and high-grade magic potions, and if they are purchased in the academy trading area, they are worth a lot of money, and they are often priceless.

Merlin didn't dare to move, as if she made a slight noise, and the herbs would run away...... In fact, her gaze was on the gray-green plant with white reticulation lines, which was shaped like a tower, cascading on top of each other, with rolled leaves, like emerald green wind chimes...... But Merlin knows that the leaves change color depending on the light.

"Nine floors. ”

Counting the layers of wind chime-like blades, Merlin's eyelids, which had just stopped beating, jumped wildly again, and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Scientific name: Phantom wind chimes, sensing range of 7 to 10 meters, like to prey on animals. As soon as an animal passes by, the chime-like blades shake violently, spewing out a very strong hallucinogenic powder from it, and its tubular rhizomes, which hide underground, pierce the target and suck the flesh.

Information about the botanical garden in front of her flashed through Mei Lin's mind, and in the "Hundred Grass Illustrated Guide", the danger factor of the Phantom Wind Chimes was judged to be level three. And the colorful wind chimes in front of me are a mature body, and the danger factor is higher.

Luckily for Merlin didn't crash headfirst into its sensing zone, though, and the result was completely different.

She took a closer look around to make sure there were no other hidden dangers, took a blue potion from her storage bag and threw it at the Rainbow Wind Chimes.

With a 'pop' sound, the test tube shattered, and the blue agent inside suddenly turned into a puff of white snow and enveloped the plant...... The air around it quickly fell, the ground was covered with thick hoarfrost, and the wind chimes writhed and struggled like a living thing, but soon it lost its vitality in the high cold, and finally turned into an ice sculpture of a plant.

The whole body of the wind chime is a treasure and has a strong economic and practical value.

Its leaves can be used to refine the Phantom Elixir, which is the main ingredient of a very advanced camouflage potion, in the center of each leaf, a cherry-sized spherical stamen, on which the pollen hardly needs to be re-refined, and its branches, which are used to refine the Qingming Elixir, can remove the effects of most hallucinogenic attacks (not only psychedelic potions, but even some psychic attacks).

Last but not least, it is the rhizome of the wind chimes. Unlike other plants, the rhizome is its seed, and when it matures, the rhizome also matures, and it will automatically fall off and grow...... Devour each other again, and the strongest will stay.

All the information was recorded in the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book", and Merlin was very grateful to the Farrell father and son. There were more than thirty-six rhizomes dug out of the ground, which would be a great fortune if they were to be sold.

Of course, she didn't have time to think about it now, and after picking all the medicinal herbs that could be collected around her, she carefully wrapped a few spherical stamens with some thick and soft leaves for later use...... Although it is a bit wasteful to do this, it is now a fugitive, and there is not so much elaboration.

Merlin knew that good luck would not accompany her forever, such as the Phantom Wind Chimes, which tasted like a plant with no bones left, and the surroundings were clean, if she hadn't roughly studied the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book" before, she might have been hit headlong in the arms of the Grim Reaper.

Although she was in a heavy mood, Mei Lin also had a faint comfort in her heart, after all, the more dangerous the environment here, the more sad those who chased and killed her, and they were likely to retreat. Now she should be thinking about how to get out of this hellish place.

It was impossible to retreat, in fact, she had already lost her way after a night of running, the vegetation was so lush that there was no trace of her just progress. Without a wealth of experience, it is quite easy for ordinary people to lose their way in the dense jungle, and Mei Lin also knows that the so-called forward route just now must not be a straight line.

Now there is no so-called forward and backward at all, each direction is almost the same for her, and the rest is to fight for character and luck.

When the situation is so bad that it can't be worse, it's easier for people to calm down.

The first priority at the moment is not to find a way out, and this wish is a bit unrealistic at the moment. What she had to do now was to survive in this forest first, and when she reached a relatively empty place, the stars at night would show her the way.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are most prepared, no matter what time it is. This is indeed a wise saying.

The books that Mei Lin reads on weekdays have helped her a lot at this time, especially the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book", if she is not lucky enough to get it, I am afraid that the colorful wind chimes can kill her.

For wizards, texts are only a source of knowledge, not only as a carrier of knowledge, but only knowledge that exists completely in one's own mind and is understood by oneself. After obtaining the "Hundred Herbs Illustrated Book", she studied hard day and night, and spent a few days and nights memorizing most of the plants with high risk factors or practical value, and these knowledge have now become her greatest basis for surviving in this dangerous jungle.
