The logging work during the day is carried out in an orderly manner. It went smoothly and without any obstacles. It's like doing it in your own backyard, rather than in a forest full of monsters.

The work was able to go so smoothly, thanks to the guards of the Icardo Alliance. The most dazzling of them all is the dark elf Mel and the strange weapons in her hands.

Originally, Uzov Gantia had asked the Dark Elves to lead a team to clean up the surrounding area, but most people were still puzzled. But when Maierjiao led a few young people to bring back one victory after another, the original differences of opinion were automatically resolved. Risk-taking, strength is respected, and everyone is still quite pragmatic.

Of course, in the middle of this, Uzov also pushed a little. First of all, the men he assigned to Mel were young people who were more receptive to new things, and these were the same people who had shown their courtesy or affection to the dark elves last night. With the means of the dark elves, these people are easier to control.

And for Uzov, in addition to trust, this is also somewhat tested. Let's see if Mel can take advantage of these advantages to make some achievements. If it doesn't work, it's better to take her with you and be a full-time 'eye'.

It's not just Uzov who is old, but so is Mel. She guessed the man's thoughts, and also took advantage of the rifle and her own charm to govern the manpower assigned to her obediently. The most important thing is that she didn't keep the rifle on her back a secret as a hole card, but generously displayed the advantages of this long-range weapon, shooting the monster that might be harassing a hundred paces away.

The young people who followed her were only younger than those of the mid-prime League. Just because they aren't so sophisticated doesn't mean they don't have enough knowledge. These people know that the variety of ranged weapons that can be used in the forest is quite rare. Most people use a short bow because it is easy to move and has a more accurate head, but it has no longer as long a range than a longbow used in open areas.

But the strange weapon in the hands of the dark elves is to break their old understanding. At a distance of 100 paces, if you are not a specially trained archer, you may not be able to shoot that far, let alone hit the target. And to throw a hundred steps in the forest, it is simply impossible to treat the canopy as nothing. Therefore, when hunting in the forest, you have to get close to the range where the prey can quickly attack you.

However, the rifle broke all old perceptions and conventions. It allows hunters to easily shoot their prey from a safe distance and is incredibly powerful. At this stage, I haven't been able to see anyone who hits a single shot and doesn't fall, whether it's a beast or a monster. If it is an ordinary hunting short bow, a large prey with a dozen arrows stuck in its body, it can still play with people alive, which is a very common thing.

However, the cost of each shot also made this group of young people staggered, dispelling their idea of getting a rifle to their bodies. It can only be said that he is really worthy of being a magician, and the things he holds are not something that ordinary adventurers can afford. After a few shots, a magazine worth a Red Shine Magic Stone will be scrapped. Shoot indiscriminately with magic arrows, and there is no revenge gun to burn money.

Later, several young people asked for some small, less dangerous prey, just let them shoot, don't waste the resources of the rifle. They knew from the Dark Elves that when the magazine on Mel's body ran out, the rifle would only be used as a stick. Taking risks and making effective use of limited resources is also an important lesson.

But even though the rifle was no longer used, Mel's command made the hunt fairly easy for the young people. So gradually, they stopped thinking about what was wrong with following the instructions of a female dark elf. Even the commander could notice a lot of details that they hadn't noticed, and these were the guarantee of their own lives.

It can be said that the power of the recovering gun used by Maierjiao gave everyone a dismount. And with the detection magic attached to the rifle, he successfully established his prestige in this team. And then with the number of prey, convinced others. These are just easy things to do with the dark elves. Most of her mind was still on spying on that suspicious person.

I just observed it all morning, and I didn't see any bad behavior on the other side. Even the other party, as an apprentice craftsman, did what he should do, and did it unambiguously. Naturally, there was no evidence to be found that could accuse the other party.

It looks like we're in the middle of a patience contest. The Dark Elf thought to himself.

The felling of the camphor and the preliminary treatment of the timber were successfully completed in the morning. However, they didn't plan to take these big logs with them, but found a place to put them and take them with them on the return trip.

However, the most precious part of the heart of the tree, which is a magical material, was taken down and carried. First, the heart of the tree is not large; On both sides, if this thing stays in place, it is easy to attract other demonic beasts, or even be destroyed by it; Thirdly, the heart of the camphor is the part with the strongest smell, and the insect repellent effect is of course the best, which can reduce a lot of worries in the forest, such as malaria and other diseases.

Just because the first day is off to a good start doesn't mean that the luck of this trip is so good. In the next few days, the second target tree species, Xiangnan, could not be found.

As we went deeper into the forest, although there was no attrition, everyone was inevitably impetuous. In particular, the strong smell of silver-striped camphor, although it has a miraculous effect on repelling insects, has also become the reason for some people to complain. After all, not everyone likes the smell, even in such an environment, it is useful.

Fortunately, Uzov Gantiya has a good skill and can always resolve some small disputes in a way that does not hurt or anger. In addition, it is not yet the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, but one of the goals was found on the first day, and such a contrasting result makes everyone a little irritable.

Moreover, although no one admitted it, the fact that the White Sword Saint William Greco followed at the end of the line was also a reason for everyone to feel at ease about this journey. Maybe there is a lot of trouble getting along with this one; But his strength is the best guarantee in this harsh environment. So although everyone is a little impetuous, they are not hysterical and hurt each other.

Because the smell of silver-striped camphor itself is quite strong, it is easy to find this tree by following the instructions of the nose. Although Xiangnan is also characterized by its aroma, the smell is not obvious and is easy to be overlooked. Therefore, the search area gradually expands, and the team finds the tree that is suspected of being the target, stops to identify it, and then moves on after confirming that it is not, and so on.

On the sixth day of going deep into the forest, everyone camped early to rest. Because if you continue to go down, you will be faced with a choice. To the left is the direction of the mountain; To the right, you need to cross a river. Xiang Nan has a chance to find in which direction, and the craftsman who acts as a guide is not sure.

Splitting into two teams seems to be the smartest, but in fact it is the stupidest. In this dangerous environment, there is a lot of power in numbers, and it's not fun. The division of troops may be able to expand the search area, but it may also allow both teams to remain in the forest. So no one has come up with such stupid proposals.

So whether to go up the mountain or cross the river became a difficult problem.

Uzov is also not arbitrary. After dinner, the crowd gathered around the campfire to hear their opinions. As a result, there are naturally different opinions, and there are all opinions. After all, this is a question with no right answer, and no matter which side you choose to take, there is always a taste of luck in it.

During the entire discussion, the dark elf Mel said nothing. A few young people who supported her said at this time: "Wheat, I see that although you didn't speak, you seem to be thinking about something. Why don't you bring up the things you are thinking about and let everyone help think about it? ”

The named Mai Erjiao couldn't say anything, she was thinking about how to let the kid who was suspected of being a ghost show her feet.

But she's not completely clueless about what everyone is discussing. So he said: "I'm thinking about whether there are any characteristics of the habitual growth environment of a tree like Xiangnan. Or it is the same species of Nanmu, what kind of place do you like to grow in? Even if the species are different, as long as they are the same kind of trees, their practicality is similar. It's just that I live in the underworld most of my life, and I'm not that familiar with things on the surface. Are there any people who know something about the characteristics of these trees? ”

The Dark Elves' statement is reasonable, and it is also a group of adventurers who are five big and three rough, as well as craftsmen who focus on their craft, ignore the part of thinking. Everyone turned their heads to look at the master craftsman who belonged to the Grand Duke, and the demand for Xiang Nanmu was raised by this person. Now that you know about this kind of wood, you should know more or less about other information.

The old craftsman, who hadn't done this kind of wood-finding work for a long time, patted his thigh with some annoyance. He should have remembered these things a long time ago and reminded everyone. It's just that in the past few days, I have been dizzy from the smell of silver camphor, and I haven't thought about it.

Try to recall what you learned when you were younger, following the masters. The old craftsman said: "Xiang Nan, a kind of Nanmu, a high-grade magic material. Likes to grow in warm, moist places,——"

So the river should be crossed? So thought to themselves.

But most of the locations are mountainous. From some low mountains, to below the green belt of high mountains. ——”

So it should be on the mountain?

Although Xiang Nan can't grow very thick, she can grow quite tall. However, the so-called not so thick here is also a degree that an adult can barely hug. That's all I know. ”

"So, is it up the mountain or over the river?" The young man from the scout group, on behalf of everyone, asked everyone's doubts.

Only then did the old craftsman realize that the information he gave seemed to make sense wherever he went. Although he was silent on the surface, he was still slightly annoyed in his heart.
