Chapter 239: Plants and Investigation

"Master Green, where are you going to collect now?" After the Knight of Berry who led the team put the team in order, he turned to Green and asked.

If he was a true researcher, he might be grateful to the guards for their assistance at this time, but Green only had one sentence in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not. This group of guards is too enthusiastic and talkative, right? It's completely different from what I imagined!

Although he was a little annoyed by the meddling of the guards, Green could only do the full act at this point: "I need some grass with strong fire resistance, and I also need some native plants that grow outside of the incineration area that have not yet developed fire resistance." ”

"Outside the incineration area?" Knight Berry frowned slightly, "I'm afraid this is a bit far away." ”

"Yes. So you don't need to come with me. "And if I'm alone, even if something happens, I can protect myself." ”

"Haha! ~Master Green, you're underestimating us! As a knight, that's not a long way for me to go. Knight Berry laughed, "And we know the terrain outside. With us, it won't be long before you'll be able to complete your mission! ”

It's completely impossible to refuse. In desperation, Green could only leave the fortress with a small team of guards and enter the sphere of influence of the Demon King.

Outside the Great Wall, there are amazing plants growing everywhere, and waist-high shrubs and grasses are bustling in the wild. Between the grass, adventurers armed with sickles, machetes and other tools cleared the vegetation in the wild, looking like a group of farmers busy harvesting food—except that instead of grain, adventurers harvested all kinds of weeds, shrubs, and all kinds of vines.

Seeing two knights on horseback walking out of the fortress with a team of lightly armed guards, the adventurers in the field showed a hint of strangeness.

"How dare those timid guards leave the walls?" A bearded adventurer sneered in a joking tone, "They can't be going to the trouble of the demons, right?" ”

"Possibly. Maybe the commander of the fortress suddenly became brave, so he decided to go on a northern expedition against the demons! The bearded adventurer's companion couldn't help but joke.

The fortress guards have no affection for the adventurers, and in the eyes of the adventurers, these guards are not easy to get along with. Therefore, for the guards to suddenly leave the city, many adventurers have the mentality of watching the play and complaining.

"Huh? That knight looks like he's wearing the uniform of the Royal Academy of Magic? An adventurer recognized Grimm's clothes, "Among these are magicians?" ”

"The magician of the Royal Academy? What is the magician doing here? "The adventurers are talking.

As a group of adventurers who begged for a living in the Ryeddy Fortress, everyone still knew a little about the cost of the Royal Academy, so everyone knew very well what the "Royal Academy of Magic" represented - either a genius magician with amazing talent or a super rich man with an incredible price! In short, it was a world that had nothing to do with the adventurers at the bottom.

A young master from a super rich family ran to this kind of wilderness, it was like telling others "I am a fat sheep"! But looking at the army that protected the young master, even some adventurers with bad intentions could only follow certain ideas in the center.

Green didn't pay attention to the adventurers around him, but concentrated on controlling the horse under his crotch, following behind the knight of Berry, and running to a hill in the distance with a group of guards.

Only Grimm and Knight Berry rode horses, and the rest of the guards all marched on foot, but they didn't move too slowly, as they didn't carry much luggage. After half an hour of advancement, there was no sign of the adventurer in the surroundings, and at the same time, the surrounding vegetation became more and more dense.

If the previous road was a wilderness with some large plants, the next road is a jungle full of thorns, and there is no place to stay, and pedestrians cannot move forward at all.

"Tom, you take someone to open the way!" Knight Berry ordered to a soldier.

"Yes!"

A soldier named Tom and three of his colleagues, armed with large scissors for weeding, began to weed and clear the way. At the same time, the rest of the soldiers were armed and guarded the surroundings.

"The plants around here haven't been cleaned up for a long time, so there's a good chance that there's a monster." Berry explained to Green.

"Well, I understand. I found out about the situation before I went out of town. "As the owner of the Demon King Domain, of course Green knows the vegetation situation here.

In a way, the vegetation here is so dense, and it is also a deliberate effort by Grimm to hinder the detection and testing of the Kingdom's ground forces.

Soldiers with tools quickly cleared the vegetation and carved out a path to walk on. However, at this moment, a vine on the ground suddenly moved slightly, and then ......

"Whew! ~"The vines suddenly moved like snakes, instantly binding the soldiers passing by!

"Wow!" The attacked soldier exclaimed.

"Enemy attack!"

Countless vines quickly tied the soldier to death like a snake, and dragged him into the jungle. However, the soldiers were not vegetarians, scissors, sickles, machetes, axes, and the soldiers took out their weapons for plants and rushed towards the vines without hesitation.

Plants have no consciousness of their own, and although they can hunt instinctively, they don't know how to dodge when attacked by soldiers - and plants without vision can't dodge. Soon, with the sound of "click", the monsterized plant was quickly cut into small pieces, and the attacked soldiers were successfully rescued.

Looking at the skillful movements of the soldiers, Green couldn't help but show a trace of surprise on his face: "It's amazing!" Everyone looks very professional. ”

"Before handing over the 'weeding' work to the Adventure Guild, the weeding work was handled by the soldiers, and everyone already had some experience in dealing with these plant-based monsters." Berry sat on his horse and scanned the sky.

"What are you looking at?" Green asked curiously.

"The Demon Dragon's Scouts sometimes come to the vicinity to investigate. Those guys are the toughest enemies to deal with! Knight Berry looked serious, "If you spot a Wyvern Scout, run in the direction of the city wall immediately." As long as they got close to the city wall and reached the range of the magic cannon, those dragon scouts didn't dare to come closer. ”

Perennial confrontation, the defenders of the Great Wall have also had a variety of countermeasures against the demons.

When the soldiers cleared the road, Green was not idle, but in the mood to make a show, he took out the tools in his backpack and began to collect plants and soil.

"It's so interesting~" A flash of flame erupted from Green's fingers, scorching a black vine on the ground.

In the flames, the black vines have no tendency to burn at all, but the temperature becomes very high, as if they are absorbing heat, but if the vines are cut down and burned, they will quickly burn.

"Is it only possible to resist the flames while you are alive?" Green collected some of the vine's rhizomes as well as the dirt near the rhizomes.

"Did you find anything?" Knight Berry asked.

"It's funny. There are two ways in which the plants here fight the flames. One is completely insulated, and the other is to absorb heat and convert it into its own energy. Maybe you can use these plants to craft some gear with fire resistance! ”

Berry's eyes lit up: "Sounds like a good look." ”

"The plants here can barely be considered magical plants, and as long as they are used properly, they may not be able to turn waste into treasure."

Hearing Green's words, Knight Berry was thoughtful.

While collecting information, Green traveled through the dense jungle and came to a hill under the professional guidance of the guards.

The meandering river flows from below the knoll, with burned shrubs on one side and endless forests on the other side, like a sea of green.

"It's all unburned across the river." Pointing to the forest across the river, Knight Berry said to Green.

"Oh~ Thank you so much." Green had a tangled smile on his face.

"The investigation only needs to be by the river, right?" Knight Berry asked.

"Hmm...... Yes, just collect some plants nearby. "You guys wait here for a while, I'll cross the river to collect some samples, and then we'll go back." ”

"Be careful when you cross the river. We've had a lot of encounters with demons here, so if you find something wrong, please return immediately! ”

"No problem." Green patted his waist bag, "I have an invisibility potion, even if I really encounter a demon, I can hide invisibly!" ”

After talking to the knight, Green flew across the river with his backpack on his back, and then began to collect plants along the river in a pretended manner, and slowly approached the forest......

At the same time, a goblin squad was approaching in the direction of Grimm with a bag full of magic crystals.
