"We have arrived at Chengxi Station, please pack your belongings and hurry up to get off the ship. The journey took a total of 15 minutes, thank you for the ride. The Obohar 1 Magic Power Ship will depart in ten minutes for Chengdong Station......" The lazy voices of the crew filled the cabins and decks.

"It's pretty fast, I've just laid down. Felder came out of the cabin sleepily. "Vane, Elena, let's go. ”

Chengxi Station is very close to the city gate, and it doesn't take long for everyone to leave the city. Compared with the north gate of Obojar, the west gate is a bit in disrepair, and even the guards are a little scattered. Outside the city gate, it is even more desolate, except for a few small farmlands, there are some wastelands, and some small hills can be faintly seen in the distance.

"I asked the innkeeper about this valley yesterday, and there are no strange beasts here, so don't worry. The only thing to watch out for is the poisonous snake, which is now humid and warm in the valley, which is the time of venomous snake activity. Elena said as she walked with a hand-drawn map in her hand. "After leaving the gate and going in the direction of the hill, about four or five kilometers into the outer part of the valley, there is a river that flows north-east and west, and we will look around there. ”

Felder volunteered to be the first to be the pioneer, occasionally cutting through tree branches and other obstacles with the sword in his hand. And this time the task of "protecting" the package fell on Simpson's head, and the few packages that were already small looked like gifts for children in his hands. It wasn't long before there was no road ahead, the large dense bushes slowed the pace of the group, the humidity in the air grew heavier, and Felder's hair was pressed against his face, looking very embarrassed.

"Take a break, Ise can't even walk. Felder said, gasping as he propped his sword on the ground.

"I don't think you can walk, Felder, why are you not as good as us girls. Elena said. "Okay, let's take a break here, the destination is ahead, let's replenish our energy. ”

Felder sat down on the floor and took out his unfinished piece of dry bread and continued to nibble on it, Brad and Simpson not knowing what they were talking about. Vane asked Elena for the task list, and looked carefully at the requirements on it, which required three magic herbs: fern root, spider silk, and lizard tail. Fern roots tend to grow in dark, moist environments, especially near rivers, and are not often found in the northern part of Beseca, but should be easy to find in this shrub-filled valley. And spider silk can be said to be everywhere, and there is no need to worry about it at all. The only trouble is the lizard's tail, which is very camouflaged and moves quickly and is not easy to catch.

At noon, the crowd came to the river. The river is about two meters wide and only below the foot level, making it look more like a stream. An hour later, the group had collected the fern roots and spider silk, but they didn't see a single lizard shadow.

"There may not be any lizards in this place at all, so let's just go back to the magic medicine store in the city and buy some. Felder said dejectedly.

"Then the commission this time is estimated to be all handed over to the store. In fact, lizard tail is also a relatively common medicinal material, I heard from my mentor when I was in the magic academy before, there will be lizard activities in the forest near Obohar, maybe we are looking for the wrong place. Eth cheered up.

"Let's go over the river and have a look, it looks a little more wooded...... Wayne suggested.

Suddenly, Elena the cat bent down and made a gesture to signal everyone to be silent. Looking in the direction of her gaze, something seemed to be moving rapidly in the grass ahead, and Elena drew an arrow from the quiver in her back with her left hand, and quickly put it on the bow and pulled it full. As the arrow sped out, only a "chirp" sound was heard, and then it stopped abruptly.

The crowd gathered around, and in the grass lay a rat pierced by an arrow, still bleeding from its body, its limbs twitching, and the tip of the arrow had sunk deep into the dirt.

"It's so bad luck that I thought it was a lizard or a long-haired hare, wasting an arrow on me. Elena pouted disapprovingly.

This small episode dissipated in the laughter of the crowd. The group crossed the creek and soon reached their destination. The trees here are indeed taller, with many foliage, and the ground is dappled with light and shadow full of weeds and fallen leaves. Soon, Simpson was the first to spot a lizard. The little green guy struggled as he got it in his hands. Soon it was let go, but without its tail.

Before you know it, the sun is already golden, and the sun doesn't know where to hide, and everyone looks tired, but their eyes are full of excitement.

"Shouldn't we go back, we've collected enough medicinal herbs, and we can sell the rest to those stores. Elena said. She looked down and picked up a leaf and wiped the dirt off her boot.

She was answered by a scream followed by silence. "Snake!" Elena turned her head, and everyone looked at Vane. Vane stood under a tree, with a red-bellied black snake the size of a baby's arm wrapped around his satchel, its head raised, and it didn't know what it was biting in its mouth. Elena got goosebumps all over her body when she saw it, and her eyes widened and she didn't dare to speak.

Vane froze in place and didn't dare to breathe, there was a rustling sound below, he could feel the falling sensation of the satchel constantly changing, bursts of scalp tingling, cold sweat running down his back.

"Be careful, Felder!" Ace and the others screamed. Vane looked back and saw Felder placing the sheathed sword under the snake, trying to wrap it around the scabbard. The red-bellied black snake seemed to become enraged, and it threw away the contents of its mouth, the head of a dead mouse, and hissed at Felder. Felder only paused, then proceeded to pick up the snake with his scabbard, preparing to get it out of Vane's satchel. But this snake is clearly not an easy character to deal with, and it is constantly moving to keep itself in a favorable position to attack.

Vane was both frightened and worried, only thinking for a moment, he suddenly let go of the staff, and quickly grabbed the red-bellied black snake with his right hand, just when he felt the slippery one, a piercing pain came from his hand, he ignored it, rounded his arm and threw the snake out.

"Vane!" shouted Elena and the others as they gathered around Vane. Felder helped Vane to lie down, the back of Vane's hand was already black, and he felt that his eyes were black, and half of his arm was no longer sensational. The corners of his mouth trembled and he wanted to say something, but he turned his head and passed out.

"Ace, help him!" Felder shouted to Ace as he knelt on the ground and picked up Vane with red eyes. Eth scrambled to chant the incantation. After performing the purification and healing techniques in a row, Eress was already unsteady on her feet, and Elena hurriedly helped Eas: "Thank you, Eas. Ace barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Vane was still lying in Felder's arms, his eyes closed and bloodless.
