Unlike the dense woods around Nasikai, the mountains here are slightly sparse and interspersed with conifers, typical of the north. It made Lu Yuan more sure of his position, and it was indeed in the north of Baldur's Gate.
Although the path is narrow, it also bears obvious signs of grooming, apparently deliberately built along the mountainside. Walking among the sparse bushes and stones, Lu Yuan looked thoughtfully at the forest at the foot of the mountain - the path was built far away from the forest, obviously to avoid the danger in the forest, I don't know what is in it?
"Huh?" Lu Yuan, who had already walked down the path, ran back along the path bumpy, and as soon as he pulled his robe, he got into a long grass and grass that was one person high, and ran towards the depths. Through the long grass can be seen from being able to. At a distance of three or five hundred steps from the trail, near the foot of the mountain. There is a small tree growing alone. The tree was no taller than a man, and a child's wrist was thick. Lu Yuan looked up and down as if he saw a treasure.
"Is this Nana's compensation for me?" Lu Yuan rubbed his hands and said happily, and someone in the kingdom of God turned his head weakly, pretending not to hear. When she kicks too hard, does Nana-chan talk about this kind of thing?
He looked at it for a long time, and clapped his hand on it? The system is not responding. Identification on the spot? Still no response.
"I swear by the level of my woodcarving skills, there is definitely something wrong with this tree!"
Lu Yuan carefully inspected the ground around him, and sure enough, as in the legend, there was no grass growing within a few steps. And the glance I just looked at on the high slope has been recorded in the subbrain, which must be right. The tree was unusually straight, and the core in the middle was as straight as a vertical line.
Although it was not identified, Lu Yuan still had the strength to grasp the roots of the little tree tightly with both hands. If you pull it out, it's not, if you can't pull it out, it's just that! This is the best way to identify dragon's leg! Think I'm up to 17 now, just pulling out a small tree! I pull ...... I'll pull it out again......
Whew~Whew~, it's really a dragon's foot! Hahaha, good luck, Nana. Now the staff has fallen!
In fact, this dragon's foot wood is not a very cherished tree, but there is a problem of whether it is suitable or not. The trunk and roots of the tree are unusually tough and resilient, and its root system is unusually developed, with thousands of fibrous roots grasping the land like thousands of tiny hands. Even if it's such a small tree about 20 years old, even a mountain giant can't even think of pulling it down. As the proverb says β "Hold on as hard as a dragon's foot tree!" β
Dragon's foot wood grows slowly, but because it is straight. And it has good permeability, and it is the material for making the staff of the Northland. Of course. Only a small tree that is twenty or thirty years old and alive as a whole is suitable, after it has grown too thick. Even if you cut it down and take out the heart of the tree, it is not much different from ordinary wood.
Since he couldn't pull it out, Lu Yuan didn't waste his efforts, he directly dug up most of the roots, leaving only the big roots to be used, and cut the others with a sword, trimming off the branches and tips of the tree, and after a while, he got a combined staff with the roots. This kind of tree has a very strong vitality, don't look at the roots cut down like this, the tips of the tree are cut down, the branches are still alive, and it can last for hundreds of years, and it will live longer with the nourishment of magic power, and only the effect of a living staff is good.
In the future, when Lu Yuan has a better staff, as long as he takes off the inlaid gems, and then inserts them into the soil and pours some alchemy potions, these dragon foot trees can continue to grow happily. Many mages live in a multi-year-old dragon's foot, most of which were grown from their first staff.
"Hah!" Holding a well-trimmed cane, he casually played a few Shaolin sticks and posed a "Erlang Danshan". I don't know what kind of road is like, but you can refer to the scene of the Matrix RiΓ±o's stick battle.
Something jumped out of the woods behind him, "Woo~! Then the wind sounded in the back of his head, and something struck him fiercely at the back of the head. Lu Yuan was taken aback, the distance from the woods to his back was more than ten meters, and he didn't have time to turn around, what was so sensitive?! He rolled forward, dodging the large claws stuck in his head, and looked back.
The creature that attacked him was three meters tall, with green skin, a rickety body, a bony body, slender limbs, two forearms and claws that were almost two meters long were almost hanging to the ground, and they could land on all fours at any time with lightning speed. It had a monstrous head, a sharp nose that stuck out like a dagger, and a mouthful of large teeth that were still dripping with mucus and stretched its mouth open. Stick Demon? Image of your sister! This is a forest troll!
"Come on, stupid big one!" Lu Yuan turned his fingers, and the newly made staff disappeared, and he provoked with his empty hands. A troll was not a threat yet, and his concern was not to delay it too long and gather more forest trolls.
The forest troll's little eyes flashed with fierce light, and he squatted down and pounced on all four limbs together, its sharp teeth bit Lu Yuan's head, and at the same time, an extremely sharp and piercing wind sounded, and a huge claw stuck to the ground and scooped it up, wanting to disembowel Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan glared, leaned forward and bumped into the troll, jumped slightly past the troll's claws and came to the troll's body, making it empty. At this time, Lu Yuan's whole person was under the cover of the troll's figure, which was almost equivalent to getting into the arms of the forest troll. The troll grappled inwards with his arms and opened his mouth to bite down again.
"Ah~~!!" Lu Yuan's not-so-strong body let out a dragon-like roar, and with the roar a round of bright moonlight lit up. "Boom"! The sound of sore teeth splitting flesh and bones, the light of the new sword flashed and extinguished, Lu Yuan held the "Lake Light" sword that suddenly appeared in both hands, passed through the green blood rain, and split the forest troll in two with one sword!
The big claw that had been cut off was still jumping on the ground, and the troll that had been cut in half from the middle was not dead, and the flesh buds that were still growing on the wound seemed to want to grow a new troll, "one into two". Lu Yuan used internal force to form a protective film on the surface of his body, preventing corrosive blood from splashing on his clothes. It wasn't until the blood that fell to the ground smoked and rattled for a while, and the corrosive nature of the blood had almost evaporated, that he walked back and burned the body of the forest troll to ashes with his burning hand - otherwise it might have grown into two, the troll's regenerative ability was too strong.
"Wow~Wow~" There was a shadow shaking in the woods, and it seemed that a new forest troll had followed the smell.
Lu Yuan flicked his mage robe in a dashing manner, pinned the hem to his belt, and fled as fast as he could. (To be continued......)
