Chapter 2: The Lonely Forest and the Beginning (1)
If it weren't for the extreme vastness of this forest, Chen Kai suspected that they were approaching a novice forest for novices to practice their adventure skills. (The text was first published in the biquge.info of the book) because after falling into this forest for five days, they had not encountered a single high-level demonic beast. But the various herbs and magical materials they collected along the way told them that this forest was of a very high level, and it was terrifyingly high.
Because Chen Kai and the others had collected a variety of magical plants in the forest that only grew around demonic beasts with a level higher than the eighth order, such plants usually had higher-level demonic beasts around them, because they could only grow with the help of the saliva or feces of these demonic beasts. So don't look at Chen Kai, the items they collect can make them a lot of money, but they spend almost every day in a panic, and in the end, even if the plants growing in front of them are worth a thousand gold, Chen Kai and they will be suspicious for a long time before they dare to reach out to collect them.
However, in the end, Chen Kai and the others still gave up the idea of collecting all the magic plants, not because they had collected all the things, but because their backpack space was insufficient, and there was no enough crystal box for high-grade materials. Ordinary magic materials Chen Kai could directly throw them into his backpack and pile them up, but if some high-grade magic materials were to do that, he himself couldn't forgive himself for such extravagant waste. The biggest difference between magic plants and ordinary herbs is that they contain a certain amount of magical elemental power, which makes these plants themselves produce various strange elemental properties and medicinal properties. The most famous is a hell flower in history that contains the power of light, the petals and calyx of the hell flower contain poison that can kill people, but the stamen contains a very powerful life force, and the life force contained in the stamen alone can make a person come back to life from the brink of death.
There is such a unique effect of the high magic plant, but there is another extremely strange and delicate problem, that is, it cannot be placed with other magic plants, once placed together, if the magic elements contained in the two magic plants conflict with each other, maybe both plants will lose all their medicinal effects. Therefore, these high-grade magic plants must be placed separately or sealed with crystal boxes, if this is not done, then maybe Chen Kai and they obtained a life-saving medicinal herb, but because they were placed together with a poisonous magic plant, the result, the life-saving medicinal herb became terrifying and highly poisonous. In the end, Chen Kai and the others could only make a painful decision, either to give up the plants they had already collected in their backpacks, or to simply abandon the priceless plant materials in front of them.
For everyone, looking at a large pile of magic materials but having no way to collect them, the most painful thing was not Chen Kai and Fei Yun who wanted to sell for money, but Xu Fei, a mage. You must know that he also has the deputy position of an alchemist, and some of these high-level magic materials are almost nowhere to buy, so the feeling of not being able to eat is the most painful for Xu Fei. But fortunately, he still has the ability to extract this spell, and he has not stopped releasing this skill along the way, and every time the magic power is restored, he continues to extract those fresh magic materials, hoping to extract the essence of these materials and preserve them in a crystal bottle. Although Chen Kai and the others didn't have many crystal boxes, they did have a lot of crystal bottles, especially the largest number of demon storage crystal bottles, which was a lesson left by not having enough demon storage crystal bottles in the holy lake. Therefore, basically everyone has twenty or thirty magic storage crystal bottles stored in their backpacks, and these crystal bottles are now just used by Xu Fei to store the essence of the extracted magic materials.
It's just that Xu Fei's spell level is too low, and it is difficult to extract the essence of the magic plants from the first-order extraction, and he can only absorb the water from those plants. However, when Xu Fei increased the output of mana, there would always be one in ten times when he succeeded in extracting the essence, which was a droplet that was absorbed along with the water in the plant and mixed with the elemental power and medicinal effects of the plant itself. If it was originally only necessary to use 100 points of magic to extract Xu Fei once, now he needs at least 200 points of magic or even 300 points of magic power to use it once, but in order to be able to maximize the use of the magic materials in his hand, Xu Fei has to use this method of wasting magic power. In fact, the essence extracted by a magic plant in the end was only a dozen drops, or even only a few drops, and many essences were wasted because Xu Fei's spell level was too low. If Zoro ** Master saw Xu Fei's extravagant behavior, it is estimated that he would directly use the big crack to blast Xu Fei, a loser, into scum, but unfortunately no one will accuse Xu Fei of his wasteful behavior now, because Xu Fei extracted the largest number of magical materials. So although he wasted a lot, he could quickly fill a bottle of the essence of the same plant.
"Dumbo! Your bottle of essence is almost equivalent to wasting nearly 100,000 gold coins," Chen Kai looked at the arcane peacock flower that had turned into ashes because of the extraction of the essence, and said with a depressed face, if such a peacock flower is sold fresh, then it can be bought for at least 2,000 gold, and Chen Kai They found not one, but more than a hundred, which is equivalent to a flower garden. If this small flower garden is worth more than 200,000 gold coins outside, it is a pity that the peacock flower worth more than 200,000 gold coins has become the small bottle of peacock flower essence in Xu Fei's hand. Although there are still some peacock flowers that have only been absorbed by water still in Chen Kai's hands, Chen Kai knows that the value of these peacock flowers has fallen to less than ten percent, and maybe it can be worth 200 gold coins now.
"That's the adjusted value! Actually, I estimate that this bottle of essence can be worth 50,000 gold coins, which is good! Xu Fei looked a little depressed as Chen Kai when he spoke, although he tried hard to increase the output of mana in order to increase the probability of the essence being extracted, but it was already a miracle that the first-order extraction could extract the essence. It wasn't until later that Xu Fei inquired about the spell extracting this spell from the Spell Association, and found out that the original Zoro ** Master gave him was an improved spell, which made the extraction of this first-order spell have a 100% to 15% chance of extracting the essence, while the ordinary extraction was only around less than 0.1%. Even if it consumes ten times the mana, ordinary extractions only have a one percent success rate, but if Xu Fei consumes ten times the mana, the success rate can be increased to fifty percent. It's just that Xu Fei won't do that, because if he consumes ten times his mana, he can only release three or four spells at most.
"It's only 50,000 gold coins! Brother Fei, the peacock flowers you wasted add up to at least 150,000! This bottle is worth a third of the money those peacocks spend! Fei Yun was extremely shocked when he heard Xu Fei's words, and at the same time sighed that the profession of mage burns money. Xu Fei didn't use it to practice spells now, just extracting the essence of spell materials wasted 150,000 gold coins, and spent more than 200,000 magic materials to get less than 50,000 essences, which was completely a loss-making business in Fei Yun's opinion.
"It's not my fault, and it's nice to be able to earn that bit of goodness. We don't know how long it will be before we get out of this forest, and without a crystal crate to store those magic materials, they won't be worth a penny in the end! Xu Fei squatted on a rock and began to rest, in fact he basically had to rest every half hour. Not only because of the high-intensity mana consumption, but more importantly, Xu Fei had to use this break time to find pictures or maps similar to the surrounding area on the Internet, so as to determine where they are now.
"Yes! I'll go out and investigate, boss, and be careful! Fei Yun felt that it made sense after listening to Xu Fei's words, in fact, even if the player's backpack space could play a certain role in protection, it still didn't have a good preservation ability for the precious materials stored inside. If this is not the case, then the player does not need to spend a lot of money to buy a crystal bottle or crystal box, as long as the ordinary wooden box is stuffed directly into the backpack.
"Okay! Be careful! Pillars we went to collect some wood, and at night camped we replaced the fence with wooden walls! When Fei Yun's figure disappeared into the darkness, Chen Kai also shouted to Zhao Tiezhu, and then he nodded to Brother Qiang, signaling the other party to help protect the others. For Chen Kai's request, Grisqiang directly agreed, in fact, the most powerful in the team is no longer Chen Kai, but Grisqiang, a warrior with eighth-order strength. The fighting spirit in his body has been growing, and this growth rate makes Chen Kai and them feel like envy, jealousy and hatred, because the other party's daily dou qi value increases by more than 100, and it is already a miracle that Chen Kai and these players can increase their fighting qi by dozens of points even if they want to die or live. Although Chen Kai and the others were very envious of the growth rate of Gris's fighting spirit, they knew very well that only the stronger Griss was in this strange place, the higher their survivability, so he also gave Griss a bottle of sacred lake water that he took from Mark Hedi. Because Khedira has become the place of worship of the goddess of life, those so-called demonization diseases have naturally disappeared, so these holy lakes and lakes Mark Hedi are only the strong ones who supply Khedira.
When Chen Kai left Khedira, Mark Hedy handed him a bag containing twelve bottles of Sacred Lake water, which was his last gift to Chen Kai. Chen Kai knew very well the value of these holy lakes, in fact, Chen Kai didn't know that these lakes were about to disappear in Khedira, because the holy lake in the northern forest suddenly disappeared after Chen Kai and the others left Khedira, and at the same time, the huge crocodile disappeared. In fact, when Chen Kai and the others walked into the space passage, the crocodile was also dragged into the space passage by the goddess of life, if it weren't for this, Chen Kai and they would not have been sent out of the passage by a space door that suddenly appeared at their feet. Because the goddess of life wants to move the giant crocodile and the lake it is in to her kingdom of gods, she needs to clear the people in the spatial passage. As a result, Chen Kai and the others were unlucky, and they were randomly sent to this forest that they didn't know when they would be able to get out.
The increase in the fighting qi of Gris who drank the water of the holy lake became more and more terrifying, but it took him a little longer to digest the lake water, because he did not go through the process of instantly releasing the power of the lake water like Chen Kai and them, but absorbed all the lake water little by little. Unconsciously, Gris's level began to slowly increase, and Chen Kai and the others did not realize that Brother Ah Qiang, who had been with them day and night, was now close to level ninety. Therefore, they have not checked the level of the other party, even if the other party and them are now in a team relationship, but the player still can't see the other party's physical attributes without the permission of the aborigines. The only thing they could see was how much the other party's health and fighting spirit were and it was only a percentage, relying on that percentage, Chen Kai and they could roughly judge what the increase in Gris Fighting Qi was every day.
In fact, if Chen Kai asked Gris, the other party would basically really expose his level to Chen Kai and them, but Chen Kai is not a person who gets to the bottom of things, he doesn't like to explore other people's **, so he doesn't care if he can't see Gris's level. Because as long as they know that the other party is strong, in this place where they don't know what danger is hidden, unreserved trust between each other is the key to getting out of the forest.
When Chen Kai and Zhao Tiezhu were looking for suitable trees in the forest, Fei Yun's figure slowly appeared a mile away from where Chen Kai and the others stayed. As a thief in this forest, his ability to adapt to the environment is much stronger than others, and only Zhou Xuan, a ranger, can be better than Fei Yunbiao in the forest area. However, Zhou Xuan is a heavy sniper-type heavy bow ranger, and in some forest areas, the combat effectiveness is not as strong as that of a light bow and short bow rapid-fire ranger, but the long-range attack power is not as terrible as a heavy bow among the ten short bows. Now Zhou Xuan's heavy bow can burst out with a full blow, and the damage that can be burst is almost comparable to the damage of Chen Kai's holy sword slashing the third sword hitting the target with all its might, if it hits the vital part, the damage will be even more terrifying, with the burst arrow, she can basically directly snipe a monster with a health value of no more than 30,000 meters away. However, Zhou Xuan is not with Chen Kai and them now, she is now staying in the dungeon with Su Xinghe and them, busy sniping players of the dark forces to earn experience.
"Strange! How can there be a smell of blood? Fei Yun slowly felt out from behind a big tree, as a thief in the wild, he needs to hide his body as much as possible, this is the first point that a thief must master to survive in the wild. It's just that now Fei Yun took the initiative to come out of the shadows where he was hiding, because he smelled a very strong smell of blood in the air. So Fei Yun took the initiative to walk out of the shadows, and then slowly groped forward with the smell of blood.
"Fei Laosi! Where did you go? Fifteen minutes later, Chen Kai was a little anxious when he didn't see Fei Yun come back, because he was worried that the other party would be in danger.
"Boss! Come to me! I found something! Hurry up! At this moment, Fei Yun, who was a few kilometers away, shouted loudly at Chen Kai and them in the team channel, and after smelling a trace of blood, he began to search along the breath, and saw some blood stains in the grass. Fei Yun, who had been searching along the bloodstains, ran three kilometers away, and if Chen Kai didn't call him, maybe he would run directly out of Chen Kai's map range.
"What a thing! Why did you run so far? Chen Kai felt very strange when he heard Fei Yun's words, but he still put down the logging axe in his hand and beckoned the others to run quickly towards where Fei Yun was.
"Blood!?" This was the only thought that everyone had after seeing the puddle of crimson liquid on the ground, in fact, the strong smell of blood made it impossible for Chen Kai and them not to recognize what the crimson liquid on the ground was. At the same time, they saw scattered pieces of flesh scattered around them, and most importantly, they saw several fingers that had fallen to the ground, which belonged to humans and had a broken ring on them.
"It's a mage who died!" When Xu Fei picked up the ring, he said his judgment in an extremely stern tone, "And this mage's level is at least the eighth order!" This is the mentor badge! Xu Fei's hand clenched slowly, the death of a mentor-level mage in the Spell Association is a very strict thing, because a mentor-level mage is the backbone of the entire Mage Association, and any mentor has the possibility of becoming a ** teacher. As long as you step on the mentor level, it is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of the ** master, so the Mage Association attaches great importance to the mages at the mentor level. If it is a tenth-order teacher, then even if he is captured in the war, he has one immunity, as long as he does not commit a particularly severe crime, no one can kill a great master mage who is about to enter the realm of a master. But now the emblem in Xu Fei's hand shows that the mage who was killed is a great mentor, because only the mage of the great mentor will have the amethyst mentor emblem. Although the amethyst piece has been shattered, the amethyst fragment remaining on the emblem still tells us that Xu Fei may have died a great teacher.
"You mean that it was a tenth-order great master who died?" Chen Kai looked at Xu Fei's extremely stern expression, if it was just an ordinary soldier who died, Chen Kai and they would not show this expression. Because it is very normal to venture out and die in the wilderness, but it is not normal for a High Grand Master to die. According to Xu Fei, each Great Master will have at least one piece of teleportation equipment on their bodies, which can get them out of danger instantly, because the Great Mentor-level mage is the most important member of the Mage Association, and no regional mage association can withstand the death of a Great Master who is about to become a ** master. In order to train Xu Fei and his mages, Chen Kai and his classmates basically invested one-tenth of the money they earned in Xu Fei and a few of their spellcasters to improve their skills and learn various spell knowledge. Don't look at this tenth, the amount is not large, but you must know that Chen Kai has earned at least nearly 10 million assets in the game, and that tenths is basically equivalent to one million gold coins. This is only the cost of Xu Fei and a few people before the fifth order, and the gold coins consumed by the mages after the sixth order are even more terrifying, just take the materials that Xu Fei wasted not long ago, the magic materials worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins will be burned when he says it, and Chen Kai will feel a pain at most. As for selling those extracted essences, Chen Kai almost didn't think about this problem, because he knew that Xu Fei and Bai Shasha needed these essences even more to practice spells.
Even cultivating a sixth-order mage requires so many resources, which shows how many resources a great master consumes, so no mage association can withstand the death of a great master, and if it is replaced by a teacher, it will be even more unbearable. Therefore, for a great mentor to die in this deserted place, Chen Kai's heart suddenly became heavy.
"Maybe he's not dead yet, maybe he's just a finger bitten off!" This is Zhao Tiezhu's statement, and it is also another idea in Chen Kai's heart, but everyone knows that this idea is impossible. Because the large pool of blood and minced meat on the ground has already indicated that there have definitely been people dead here, and they have been eaten by wild beasts, leaving a few fingers, that is, the other party is definitely full, and he doesn't want to waste time for a few fingers.
