The further south you go, the cooler the temperature becomes, and the plants become very different.

The leaves of the trees were getting more and more foliage, the grass was much lower, and the river bank was full of clusters of leaf thorns, on which grew red fruits the size of pigeon's eggs.

Although she was in a bad mood, Wei Yuning still habitually collected some special plants.

A succulent plant with a cool smell that smells a lot like mint on earth, and he simply named it "meat mint".

There is also a plant with a fist and a large spike-like fruit, and when the peel is opened, the core inside has a peculiar mixed fragrance, and he originally wanted to name it "Thorn Fruit", but remembering the great rival of the Thorn Demon, he temporarily decided to change the name to "Demon Head Fruit".

As for the red fruits on the leaf thorns, they resemble the taste of tomatoes, Wei Yuning saw things and thought about things, and used plant growth techniques to give birth to a large number of leaf thorns, and ate enough.

When he put these plant seeds into the life space ring, he unexpectedly found that the space inside the ring had changed, the original gray mist-like outer wall had now turned into a black translucent unknown stone, although it was extremely thin, but from the appearance, it seemed strong and condensed.

He shook his head indifferently and left the matter behind.

At present, his location is already in the territory of the Blackwater Country. The country of Blackwater is a vast empire, and it is also a sparsely populated country. Semi-uninhabited areas such as the Gobi Desert, deserts, rocky barren mountains and ice fields occupy most of the country's territory, and only the Heishui River basin and the vicinity of the coastline are relatively densely populated.

Wei Yuning flew and walked along the banks of the Heishui River, and every half of the day, he could basically come across a large tribe or a medium-sized town and other human gathering places.

However, it is the territory of all kinds of beasts that I see more. The ones who can snatch territory with humans are basically spirit beasts, and the worst ones are large beasts such as lions, tigers, leopards, etc., and there are strange beasts that Wei Yuning does not correspond to at all, as if they are laboratory products of forcible hybridization. The beasts of this world are intelligent and taller, they have their own social structure, and they also build nests.

Ordinary humans are much less effective than beasts, and they must use a variety of tools to survive on a planet dominated by beasts.

Tall, sturdy walls and bunkers are standard in almost all human settlements.

On the fifth day of the neighborhood, Wei Yuning came to a new area, the main main stream area of the Heishui River.

The main trunk of the Heishui River is unusually wide, and the narrowest section of the river is more than fifty miles, which is no different from the boundless sea from a human perspective. And, under normal circumstances, ordinary mortals would not have crossed this river full of dangers.

The Heishui River basin in Xi and Qingwolf has at most three miles wide grazing and cultivation areas, while the fertile land around the main body of the Heishui River is often hundreds of miles to thousands of miles wide.

In the main section of the river, human settlements began to move away from the river and were more distributed along the banks of the tributaries. One reason is that there are many swamps and forests on the banks of the main river, which are not suitable for habitation. There is an even more important reason, that is, there are so many kinds of creatures near the shore that the beasts with a little less survivability cannot survive at all, and all the powerful creatures dominate.

Among them, crocodiles, turtles and pythons are the main creatures, and there are some distant subspecies of dragons.

Of course, in such water-rich areas, the variety of plants is also more diverse.

Wei Yuning didn't choose to go to a safer place away from the riverbank, and continued to stay here to collect plants, and with the Life Space Ring, he didn't have to worry about storage.

Moreover, this kind of opportunity to relax the mind is also rare, and in the future, who knows if there will be a future!

With his excellent stealth ability, Aoki Ring's illusion and body technique, he brushed shoulders with various spirit beasts again and again.

However, in response to the old saying, "If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet".

Today, while collecting a plant, he was tricked by a creature with more stealth abilities.

It was a tortoise-like creature, except that its back shell was completely stone-like, pitted and full of holes, and some shellfish made their home on it, more like wild stones than ordinary stones on the riverbank.

What's even more odious is that Wei Yuning stepped on this one-meter-square stone for three minutes, and there was nothing unusual during this period. Eventually, he used vines to pull the hollow tubular aquatic plant from its roots and put it into the Life Space Ring, and when he was about to leave, something strange suddenly happened.

His feet were fixed to the stones, and the cloud shoes on his feet and the hem of his clothes were all stone-shaped. Immediately, the attack came. For a moment, Wei Yuning couldn't react and was hit by a stone hammer-like tail, and although he escaped into the same space in time, he still couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

If he wasn't a physical monk, just this once, ordinary divine consciousness monks would be seriously injured, and the three times he couldn't get out of bed would be light.

He actually encountered a spirit beast with the ability to petrify.

Among the several petrified spirit beasts he had heard, there was no direct petrified creature, and their ability was more like calcifying objects, which was very similar to the ability of this spirit turtle. This is a bloodline ability, which is basically the same as the evolution direction of a branch of the earth-based spiritual root cultivator, the stone system Dao method.

The combat power of the spirit beast has a physical advantage, especially in the process of close combat, which is not at all something that a low-level human monk can compete with.

Wei Yuning, who fled barefoot, had palpitations in his heart, and at the same time came to his senses. Although being possessed by the demon is certain to die, it is not necessarily to die now, but if you die like him, you may die immediately.

Which is more important, fools know.

Wei Yuning, who readjusted his mentality, decided to get in touch with human society and live in human territory for a while. There are also enough plant species collected during this time.

Putting on new shoes, Wei Yuning flew down a tributary, and saw a medium-sized town in the distance before Riyin. A wide gravel road runs through the center of the town with no end in sight.

In a four-way section, Wei Yuning fell.

As soon as he landed, another messenger bird came to him. Wei Yuning didn't look at it, and directly smashed the Fu Bird into ashes. In the past few days, he had received no less than ten messenger birds, and without exception, he had destroyed them all.

Earning spirit stones, the relationship with the same door, cultivation, Taoist companions, killing demons, etc., etc., everything doesn't matter, where does he care so much now.

He wants to have a good look at the world during this time, and it is not in vain that he has come here.

"Gem City!" Looking at the three big characters on the gate of the city wall, Wei Yuning frowned. There was no trace of a mine in sight except for a three-mile-wide river, a large number of ponds, and a vast plain, and he really didn't know how the name of Gem City came from.

"Is there a way? No, you can't enter the city!"

There were three soldiers guarding the gate, all wearing black helmets and black armor, lined with thick maroon cloth clothes. A middle-aged soldier walks back and forth with a thick-backed knife in his hand. Two immature soldiers stood on either side of the gate, holding a three-meter-long spear in both hands.

It was the middle-aged soldier who was questioning. His face was white and beardless, his body was slightly fat, and his expression was arrogant, perhaps because he saw that the clothes on Wei Yuning's body were gorgeous and abnormal, not like ordinary things, so his tone was quite gentle.
