Chapter 21: Treasure Hunt
In the woodland to the west of Shining Gold, the bright sunlight shines through the sparse foliage, forming patches of light on the ground.
This is the edge of the Moonlight Forest, which has long been overexploited by humans, and even timberwolves and forest bears rarely haunt here, only a few rabbits and wild deer and the like.
"The foundation of a spiritual master is biological knowledge, which means that you have to study all kinds of living things yourself. Generally speaking, the rarer the creature, the greater the value of research, because it is likely to contain a more powerful inheritance factor in its body.
The two walked side by side in the forest, and a girl in a small blue cotton skirt explained while nibbling on a piece of braised beef.
After a few days of getting along briefly, Charles has figured out the other party's preferences, and likes to eat moonshine cake and braised beef the most, so every time he asks the other party for advice, he will bribe in advance.
Not to mention, this trick is very effective, the other party is a little short-mouthed, and he will try his best to explain it to him every time, which has benefited him a lot.
She wiped the corners of her mouth, casually pointed to the bushes in the distance and said, "If you see that gray rabbit, let your fox catch it." ”
"Go, Firefly!"
Charles immediately let the little white fox attack, and the fireflies jumped off his shoulder, almost turning into a white shadow and swooping down on the outcropping rabbit.
Creak!
The hare was startled, and jumped to its feet on its strong hind legs, trying to jump into the bushes to dodge, but the little white fox was faster, and had already rushed to its side when it had just jumped in, and bit its neck.
Not willing to be caught, the hare kicked the white fox fiercely on its hind legs, but its movements were extremely agile, and it easily dodged the attack, and smashed it to the ground, knocking it unconscious.
At this moment, the gray rabbit no longer struggled, and was taken in front of the two by the little white fox, and let out a cry of invitation.
"Mio!"
"Well done." Charles stooped down and touched its little head in reward.
Then the little white fox climbed down his legs to his shoulders as if he were climbing a tree, and continued to sit there like a child.
"Didn't I teach you how to put away the totem, why haven't I seen you put it away, and your totem seems a little strange?" Rice Cake looked at the little white fox suspiciously, and carefully took out a cyan handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands.
"I haven't learned it yet, and I feel that the totem should follow me better." Charles smiled awkwardly.
In fact, the little white fox firefly was a strange trick used by Bruce, forcibly turning his flesh and blood into a totem, and the spiritual magic taught by the other party could not put it away at all, so he could only carry it with him like a pet.
"Whatever you want." The other party didn't say much, reached out and grabbed the rabbit's long ears and picked it up, "This is a very ordinary rabbit, you can see it everywhere, most of their evolution has long been fixed, and there is no development potential." ”
Next, she casually cast the analysis rune, and a mysterious inheritance factor appeared above the other party, and continued to explain to him, "Let's say, look at this one. There is almost no direction of evolution in the inheritance factor, which means that it can only become a first-order ordinary totem......"
"The direction of the hare's evolution is very limited, and it can only be used as an auxiliary totem, and the auxiliary totem in the early stage is abandoned in the back......"
"You don't need to worry too much about the selection of auxiliary totems, the average life spirit master can have two or three, those with strong talent can have four or five, and those with super talent can even have ten ......"
Charles listened attentively to the other party's explanation, and the person next to him, despite his young age, had actually been a life spirit master for more than a year.
It is not a shame to learn from each other.
As they walked, they captured their prey and interpreted it in order for Charles to verify what they had learned.
"Okay, that's all for today's explanation, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." The girl rolled her eyes, a little impatient, for Charles had asked a lot of questions along the way, which made her mouth dry.
"Don't forget what you said, ask your chef to make me another beef soup of that kind."
"No problem, I've already sent someone to Stormhaven to buy materials." Charles smiled and nodded, wanting the other party to teach with all his heart, so he naturally had to do everything possible to meet his requirements.
Don't look at the ease of his promise, in fact, the cost is not heavy.
The tusked cattle from the Rhine steppe that the other party ate last time was a luxury exclusively for the nobles. This kind of strange cow feeds on meat, and only 2 gold coins can buy a pound of meat, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it at all.
And it's a limited supply, and you can't buy it if it's late, so he asked people to set off yesterday to wait for the goods to arrive.
After separating from the other, Charles looked around: "Now, it's time to go treasure hunting." ”
He hadn't forgotten that the cheap teacher's dying lab in the field had told him and tried to get him to promise to find and care for his lost child.
These days of preparation have allowed him to barely get started, learn the most basic spiritual arts, and have a deep understanding of Firefly's abilities.
Now, although he is just getting started, he can already protect himself in the hands of Marcus, which is the strength of the Soul Master.
Moonlight Fox's defense is a bit low, and the guardian aura provided to him can block Marcus's attack, and then he only needs to make one or two auxiliary totems, then he can't even think of hurting him in the slightest when he stands there Marcus!
Half an hour later, Charles followed the creek westward, and came to a luxuriant, low, dark red forest.
He stopped and surveyed the area, and at the end of his line of sight was a tree the size of a bowl, split into two at the bottom, like a man's thigh.
"At a bend in the river, there is a low red wood, and the entrance to the laboratory is just below one of the herringbones, and this is it."
Charles walked over and easily saw an entrance hidden beneath the dense vines, but instead of recklessly stepping in, he threw a rabbit in his hand.
Shout!
As the hare fell onto those strange gray vines, the vines came to life like snakes, instantly tying the hare into zongzi, and then piercing it deeply, causing its body to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hehe, it's really uneasy and kind, this seems to be a first-level plant totem!" Charles had a sneer on his face.
Fortunately, he was cautious, otherwise he would have been the one who would have been killed by drinking blood and used as fertilizer.
The main totem will die with the death of the owner, but the secondary totem, especially the plant totem, will not die easily.
These guys have no consciousness at all, and even the death of the Spiritual Master only restores their freedom, so they are often used to make traps, or to guard the home.
With his current strength, he can't deal with this kind of monster at all.
However, even if it becomes a totem, the natural enemy of flame is not something it can defend against.
Charles began to chop down dead trees with his sword, and moved the leaves of the dry vines in the distance, circling the totemic vines.
Then he took out a small piece of source crystal, and with a dexterous dance of his hands, a small ball of fire suddenly appeared in front of him.
Rumble!
The flames burned rapidly, causing the vines to squeak sharply, but they were rooted there, unable to escape, and were reduced to ashes in the flames!
