The camp is a glade off the beaten path.

As can be seen from the remains on the ground, caravans stayed here all year round, so the humble wooden houses and cooking pits were all ready-made.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of permanent management, the facilities here are often damaged and infested by jungle beasts.

Since it was only a temporary break, it was impossible for the convoy to stay here for a long time.

From setting up camp to preparing lunch and leaving after eating, it was only one hour at best, and the reason for doing so was to take care of the ordinary people who made up the majority of the convoy.

And with the short break for lunch, the apprentice witches were able to explore some of the farther afield.

In the depths of the Black Forest, if they're lucky, they'll occasionally be able to spot some wild resource spots. It's usually a natural place for magical energy to converge, so it's home to some wizarding resources.

After a long period of exploration, the witch of any family may find such a wild resource point and try to hide it. In this way, they only need to run every certain amount of time to harvest steadily.

And this kind of harvest is also a lot of resource input for witches!

So while the ordinary handymen who were driving the cart were busy with lunch, witches and apprentices rode their broomsticks and went deep into the Black Forest.

Grim and the others were not familiar with the terrain here, and it was easy to get lost once they went too deep into the Black Forest. If they can't turn back in time for more than 1 hour, the caravan won't stop and wait for them. Therefore, a passing wizard like Grim can only look at the resource-rich Black Forest and sigh, but he can't search for treasures and explore inside like witches.

However, with their strength, there is no problem in simply moving within three or five miles of the camp.

And Grim did the same.

…………

In the midst of a dense and gloomy forest.

The wild vines and shrubs that filled the entire glade, together with the knotted roots that burrowed out of the ground, and the grass, moss, dead leaves, and all sorts of strange flowers that could not be named, all filled the glade so tightly that it would be difficult for ordinary people to pass.

Grim walked slowly, his eyes shining blue, carefully and meticulously scanning the surrounding plants.

In many cases, the chaotic growth of shrubs has only a very small space for people to walk through, and the branches and wattles that stretch horizontally can easily cut through the soft and light cloth robes. Therefore, in such a region, a thick and dense traveler's cloak can be draped on the outside to avoid embarrassment too much.

Under Grim's elemental vision, the unique dullness and dark of the surrounding Black Forest are gradually fading, and some different colors are gradually revealed.

A large thicket of bush blocked the way, and the space was narrow enough for only one person to pass sideways.

Grim's faintly blue pupils swept slowly, and he smiled faintly.

As he strode forward again, a faint red barrier appeared beside him.

The enchantment is not very wide, only two or three steps away, but its power is really not small.

All plants that touched the flame barrier would instantly incinerate to ashes with a 'puff', and as Grim continued to move forward, a path of ashes suddenly emerged from the originally dense vegetation. And in the charred ashes, blood-red rattans twisted and curled up wildly, whipping the ground and everything around it.

Some of the blood vines withdrew in time, curling back into the surrounding bushes to hide themselves again, while some of the blood vines tossed for a while, and finally couldn't bear the burning of the flame barrier, and finally turned into flying ashes like the surrounding plants and trees.

Grim's arrival seemed to sound the death knell of the demonic plant, and for a moment there was a strange sound of rustling in the bushes in front of him.

Countless vampire vines, man-eating flowers, and poisonous roses that had been disguised and hidden in the bushes swayed their short, stubby forked legs, staggering away from Grim's path.

The bush in front of him was like shouting 'Sesame Open the Door', and in a strange creaking sound, it made an unobstructed path for Grim. And the countless withered yellow vines hanging from the tops of the tall trees also began to curl and wriggle like snakes, slowly retracting their tentacles.

It was as calm as usual just now, and it seemed as safe and peaceful as the beautiful and warm grove behind the house, allowing people to explore the seclusion inside after eating and drinking. However, when they were forced by Grim to remove their disguises, they turned into a magical forest of demons in an instant.

Of course, this scene in front of him is actually the most real side of the Black Forest, and the tranquility and peace just now is just the illusion that the demonic plants present to their prey after hiding their fangs and tentacles.

Grim grabbed a blood vine that was rapidly retracting, and in the middle of its long vine, a fist-sized nodule protrusion stood out.

As if sensing Grim's malice, the blood vine writhed violently in his palm, but as the bright red fire element quickly converged, the bright flames instantly ignited its entirety.

Elemental flames come and go as fast as they come.

By the time the flames were extinguished, the snake-like blood vine had already been incinerated to ashes, and it was sprinkled down, leaving only a thumb-sized pale red crystal in Grim's palm.

Blood Crystals!

A very good crystalline that can be used to replenish one's own blood gas.

Remembering that in the Enchanted Swamp, as an apprentice, he regularly had to pick blood sacs that grew from the Vampire Vine. And that kind of blood sac is more than one or two grades worse than the blood crystal in front of you!

In the magic swamp, there is hardly much fresh and powerful blood food to be found in the vampire vine, so the quality of the blood sacs born is also extremely poor. Where can it be compared to the blood crystal in his hand at this moment.

If Grim was still an apprentice, this blood crystal would at least give him a 0, 8-1, 1 increase in his constitution. Can ...... now

Grim threw the blood crystal into his mouth and bit it gently, and a sweet mucus with a rich scent of grass and trees poured down his esophagus into his stomach, making him very warm and comfortable. In the hint of the chip, his qi and blood slowly bulged, and he was about to reach a full state.

That's it!

A blood crystal that can give a wizard's apprentice a 1 point of physique increase can only allow him to replenish his qi and blood, and other than that, other effects are almost nil! After all, after becoming a wizard, their physique has undergone a special quenching, and most of the resources and materials during the apprenticeship period have been ineffective against them.

Although it is impossible to improve physical fitness, if you eat it as a 'snack', it is quite good to support the body.

Thinking of this, Grim simply walked around the black forest with his hands behind his back. With the aid of powerful elemental vision, anything in the black forest that exhibits an anomalous color in the elemental spectrum will attract his attention.

The blood crystals that the Vampire Vine is bred in, the rhizomes and thorn tentacles of the humanoid man-eating flower are pale blue, the leaves of the Poison Rose are purple, and the sap of the Demon Spirit Grass is milky white......

It was the first time for Grim to see such a wealth of monster resources, and he was a little busy for a while.

One moment it followed the long tentacles of the vampire vine to find its body hidden in the tall ancient trees, the next chased after the man-eating flowers that writhed their small waists and desperately ran away, and the next time they uprooted them from the bushes despite the squeaky of the demon spirit grass......

The wicked have their own wicked grinding!

The demonic plants that have always existed as hidden hunters have encountered a real enemy today.

They don't have the flexible and athletic body of demonic animals, so they can only desperately avoid and hide themselves in the face of the vicious Grim. Unfortunately, the short, clumsy forked legs made their escape a joke, and they hid ...... What kind of camouflage kung fu can evade Grim's elemental vision?

As a result, in less than an hour, this vast and half-mile-deep demonized plant-rich area suffered a catastrophe, and was almost extinct by the brutal picking scourge of Grim's three-foot digging in the ground!

Straightening up and estimating the time, Grim looked regretfully at the nearby jungle. There, in the darkness of darkness, every flickering speck of fluorescence was a worthy target.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough time!

By the time Grim returned to the camp the way he came, the witches and apprentices had already returned. The ordinary handymen who were driving the car had finished eating and drinking, and 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, there was no expected praise and surprise, but instead he received unexpected questions and blank eyes.

"What? What the hell did you do? Didn't you learn anything about herbalism? Why only blood crystals, not the body of the vampire vine? Don't you know that the body of the vampire vine, which is about 3 meters long, is more precious than the blood crystal?......

"What is this...... Could it be the rhizome of a piranha flower?...... Don't tell me, you've met a humanoid cannibal flower! This kind of magic plant, many wizards are willing to buy it for 40 magic crystals...... You're not going to burn them all, are you?"

"And ...... Why are the Devil Emperor Grass all broken?Don't you know that you need to keep their rhizomes intact when you pick them?...... Such a mutilated Demon Emperor Grass will greatly reduce their value......"

Listening to Alice's nagging like a magic voice, the corners of Grim's mouth twitched, and for the first time he mourned his ignorance in herbalism.

Damn, isn't it just picking up some demonic materials? How did it get so troublesome!

Grim's face immediately turned ugly.
