Little Aya has been educated by her father as an adventurer since she was a child, and she is very clear about some common medicinal herbs and their effects. She could even predict how many portions of diarrhea mushrooms would have to be used to make a person have a stomachache for half the night without getting in the way of the next day's work.

Diarrhea mushroom is just another name for folk medicinal herbs, and the scientific name of the plant she is looking for is blue-spotted gray mushroom, which can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea and other sad consequences if taken correctly.

There weren't many people to secretly add to that pesky fire mage's bowl, half a was enough.

While no one was paying attention, she hopped out of the camp.

......

"Strange, where is Aya?"

"I didn't see her just now......"

"It doesn't take so long to get there, right?"

Aya's disappearance caused a commotion in the camp. Not only his father Ai Xing, but all the acquaintances in the team love this lively and delicate little girl. Now that she's gone, everyone can't help but worry.

"Let's split up and look for it, or it will be bad when it gets dark. Chongyang's calm proposal was unanimously approved. Ai Xing immediately assigned men and scattered in all directions around the camp to find Aya's traces.

Soon after, news came.

"We seem to hear Aya's voice, but we can't find where she is!" a samurai hurried back to report.

Such a weird thing?

Ai Xing immediately rushed to the scene, and Chongyang followed behind him. When I got to the place where the samurai who reported it said, I realized what was going on.

It was a small valley with only a few trees growing on it, but thick vines and weeds that spread all over the land. In some places, unnamed weeds have grown to the height of more than a person.

Listening intently, I could indeed hear Aya's faint cry for help, but where was she?

Could it be that something happened to him, so he became a ghost?

“...... It's underground. Chongyang squinted slightly, and after listening with all his energy, he made a bold and correct inference, "There should be a natural trap in this grass, and Aiya accidentally fell into it, so she can't get out." ”

"So what should I do?" Ai Xing was too anxious and worried, and seemed to have no master.

"Get rid of all the grass here and you'll be able to see the situation. Get out of the way. Chongyang raised his staff.

He made the gesture of waving his staff and reciting a long incantation, but in fact it was meant to be instantaneous—

"Atmospheric Explosion!"

Boom –

The astonishing green fireworks exploded, evaporating almost all the ashes of the grass, leaving only a charred dirt floor as far as the eye could see.

Everyone was amazed, only to see that on the left side of the exposed ground, there was the outline of a hole in the ground. Aya's voice came out of it clearly.

The big guy hurriedly rushed up, carefully removing the vines and weeds covering the entrance of the cave, and finally saw a petite figure waving something shiny under the dark cave.

"I'm here, Daddy—" Aya's voice cried. It seems to be frightened.

"Daughter, wait a minute, I'll get you up right now!" Ai Xing shouted at the bottom of the cave.

The hole was so deep that people had to go back to the camp to gather more men. After discussion, it was decided to weave a grass ladder so that Aya could climb up from underneath.

In fact, it is easier to use earth-based magic to rescue, but the third-level earth-based mages in the team are limited, and Ronte, the employer of the domain mage, is unwilling to help.

"Why do I do what you can do? Ron said coldly.

The people on the team were angry, but they couldn't help it, and that's what was supposed to be a good condition. The significance of the team's mission this time is not to let the employer exert more unnecessary effort.

In the end, with the efforts of most people, a sturdy grass ladder was woven as quickly as possible, hanging from the hole to the bottom of the cave, and finally rescued the trapped Aya.

When the disgraced Aya threw herself into her father's arms and cried, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Chongyang.

Although he has been arguing with the little girl, he actually has a good impression of Aya, who has a frank personality.

But immediately, his eyes were drawn to something that Aya had been holding in her hand.

"It's ......"

A plant that sparkles in the dim sky, a crystal clear pure blue, as if it were made of ice. A slender rhizome with four translucent leaves on top. The leaves are peculiarly shaped, round and slippery, as if a drop of water is rolling around in the middle.

"I was in the cave and smelled a wonderful scent, so I went down the road, and when I came to another valley, I found many of these beautiful flowers. After Aya cried, she showed everyone the plants in her hand as if she were offering a treasure.

It's beautiful indeed...... But, what the hell is this?

The mercenaries were all men who were used to walking in the mountains, and everyone was thinking, and then Chongyang's face changed first, and then the water magicians in the team shouted in horror.

"Isn't this 'Blue Smoke Ice Lotus'!?"

People's faces changed dramatically. Ai Xing couldn't help but grab Aya's shoulder, and asked in a trembling voice, "Daughter, when you saw these 'flowers' in that valley, did you see that they emitted a mist like steam!?"

"yes......" Aya felt the atmosphere turn strange, but nodded honestly.

Everyone was shocked!

Blue Smoke Ice Lotus is a kind of medicinal herb that is circulated in the legends of adventurers and coveted by magicians in the mainland. Its effect is that it can trigger the latent power in the human body! It does not need to be treated in any way, just by soaking it in water, it can permanently stimulate people's physical strength and make people's strength greatly increased! And if it is processed and taken by a magician, then the speed of cultivating magic power will be doubled!

For magicians who are more familiar with potions, it is enough to summarize the magic of Blue Smoke Ice Lotus.

"One of the main materials of the legendary potion!" this was the first to recognize the fire demon's words to Chongyang.

Incomparably miraculous plants, incomparably precious medicinal materials, but there has been no accurate conclusion about its growth environment and growth conditions. There are adventure legends to find it in swamps, in the abyss, and at the bottom of the lake......

One plant can be sold at the auction of the imperial capital for at least hundreds of thousands of amethyst coins!

What about a slice?

According to Aya, in the valley opposite the passage at the bottom of the cave, there is "a large expanse" of blue smoke and ice lotuses that are "all over the place".

The whole team was almost insane!

Everyone, including his employer, Ront, was in a frenzy of frenzy, scrambling to go down to find out, and in the end no one was willing to stay at the camp.

Adventurers, adventurers...... Risking a lifetime and having the opportunity to make a fortune is just around the corner, who can endure it?

In the face of the sudden big interests, none of these people who have been suffering for half their lives can remain calm enough. And the only person who can keep calm the most, Chongyang, does not have the authority to coordinate the overall situation.

In the midst of the crowd with red eyes, Chongyang had a bad premonition. However, the Flame Demon whispered in his ear that if he could get some Blue Smoke Ice Lotus, it would be very helpful for his cultivation and recovery.

"The forbidden technique you use is ultimately damaging to your body, and it is not enough to rely on the remaining Gentian Xuanling Root to recuperate. So in any case, you'd better try to get some by chance, but don't be too greedy, because ......"

The more precious the treasure, the greater the risk.

Generally, there will be high-level demonic beasts entrenched around the treasures of heaven and earth, which is a recognized truth in the mainland.

But now, how many people remember this truth?

A group of people all went down to the cave, holding torches, and walked along the natural path at the bottom of the cave, led by Aya, into the depths of darkness.

This hole ...... It is much more spacious than expected, and it is no problem to go down and hold a torch to see that it can accommodate dozens of people.

And there is more than one road connected to the cave. The deeper you go, the more stalactites and stalagmites become more and more ubiquitous, and the terrain becomes more and more complex, with countless forks in the road. Everyone can only move forward under the guidance of Aya, who "smells the fragrance". If it were an ordinary person walking alone, he would have been fainted in this labyrinthine underground world a long time ago.

People were amazed and excited all the way, and finally, they came to the exit, which was the small valley that Aya had talked about.

It is surrounded by walls on all sides, and it is extremely steep, probably at the bottom of some cliff. Looking up, I could only see one side of the sky, and I felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Blue Smoke Ice Lotus.

Quietly, a pale blue mist evaporated into the sky—it was not water mist, but an illusion of the naked eye produced by the vibrations of the elements, and in essence, it was a kind of magic.

A plant that uses magic.

Each plant has four leaves, and each leaf is a precious treasure. And there are at least thousands of them here!

There was a long silence.

Almost everyone was intoxicated by this dreamlike sight and prayed in their hearts that this would never be a dream.

Only Chongyang, who had been carefully following the end of the line, had a face as solemn as if it was frozen.

There's quirky, there's definitely quirky.

Why, along the way, I can't see a single bug?

Spiders, ants, rats...... At the very least, one or two of these creatures that are widespread in the world should be visible. It's weird that there isn't even a bat in this huge dark cave.

Treasures, right in front of you.

Danger is all around us.

Peng!

There was a very sudden roar, and it came out of the ground. One by one, the extremely sharp ground thorns instantly pierced the bodies of several samurai who were just about to cheer!

"Are you coming!?" Chongyang's face changed and he quickly retreated, but at this time, he found that in the team in front of him, Ron sneered extremely gloomily.

Instantaneous fifth-level magic - "Stone Thorn Spear!"

As the tip of Ront's staff pointed, slender stalagmites like spears continued to protrude from the ground, piercing the legs, feet, and chests of many samurai in the blink of an eye.

Blood splattered and screams rang and screamed.

The samurai who were killed by the sneak attack fell in front of the coveted Blue Smoke Ice Lotus Field with their eyes wide open.

Ron suddenly attacked in the ranks, and only a few vigilant people avoided it.

More than a dozen samurai died at once, and only four remained. The five magicians, all of whom used their own means, avoided or resisted this move.

"Ronte, you're ......," exclaimed with his daughter Aya in one hand.

"Don't pretend, Ai Xing, if it weren't for the fact that you also have a ghost in your heart, how could you have avoided my move?" Ron sneered, "Whoever kills everyone here will be able to have these countless blue smoke ice lotus!

"I have, but I'm not really mad enough to do such a thing!" Ai Xing's face was extremely ugly, and his eyes couldn't bear to glance at his dead companions, "I thought we could talk about ......

Ron laughed, grimace.

"That's because you don't have the power! ”

"No, strength alone won't do!" Ai Xing retorted, "You can't even get out of here without my daughter leading the way!" he hugged Aya with a pale face in his arms.

"Do you think that's the case? Unfortunately, I secretly made a mark on the way to the land in a unique way. Your daughter, after bringing us here, is useless. Ron sneered.

"What!?" Ai Xing was shocked. He originally thought that Ron would be afraid to get lost, so he wouldn't tear his face immediately. However, he was wrong!

The cost is the lives of the teammates on the team.

"Run!" Ai Xing immediately turned to shout, pushing Aiya in his arms, "I'll drag him down!

Aiya was pushed by her father and stumbled, and finally bumped into Chongyang's arms.

"It's too late!" Ron said with a sinister and vicious face, and with a wave of his staff, a heavy stone wall rose in front of the passage, blocking the escape route.

"Let's kill him together!" roared the lightning mage on one side, turning to face Ron with an instant spell.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the other two magicians of the water system and the earth system also used their own tricks and blasted at Ron together.

But Ron was already prepared, and he reached into his arms and instantly launched domain-level scroll magic—

"Quadruple Guardian Gate!"

If there was a substantial magical wall that flashed around him out of thin air, it was like a heavy and thick stone door on all sides, shutting it down, blocking all attacks from the door.

"Alright, which one to start with now?" Rondt laughed.
