After driving for a long time, even the brother and sister, who were so excited about taking the car for the first time, fell silent, and Jill even fell asleep on the seat with a bag of candy.

Not long after leaving the township, Chen Mo drove a dirt road under the guidance of Jim, and after most of the day, he also felt a little tired, so he was ready to stop and rest, because he saw something on the side of the road.

It was two concrete buildings connected together, and there was an asphalt road in front of the house, which seemed to be incompatible with the surrounding scene, standing in the middle of the grassland.

Chen Mo is no stranger to this building, because he used to pass by every day when commuting to work, this is the township where Chen Mo lives, and the corner of the road not far away.

It's just that Chen Mo didn't understand, he thought that the projection of the township he lived in should be a special case in this world, but the projection in front of him made Chen Mo feel that things were not so simple.

"Jim, this is the Land of Phantoms?"

If in doubt, just ask the locals.

"Well, but at best, it's just a fragment, and it's not easy for monsters to run out of this kind of place, so it's a relatively harmless one. 」

"Is there a lot of Phantom Land?" Chen asked suspiciously.

"There are as many stars in the sky as there are apparitions on the earth, but there is only a difference in size. Listening to the elders of the village, the more places in the other world where humans gather, the bigger the projected phantom land. 」

On the subsequent road, Chen Mo occasionally saw similar buildings, or rice fields submerged in the grassland.

As questions accumulate, the village where the Jim siblings live arrives.

The village was near the foot of a high mountain, and there was a river flowing from the mountains, the water was clear, and there were many fish frolicking in it.

A lot of farmland has been opened up around the village, and many crops have been planted that Chen Mo has never seen, and the whole thing is like a pure land in the world.

Except for the cat-people who yelled at them with weapons on the walls of the village......

This tin box, which had wheels and could run, obviously scared them.

"Go down first. 」

Looking at the bows and arrows and javelins in the hands of the cat people, Chen Mo didn't plan to take risks, but the cat-eared little Lori had already rushed out of the car happily.

Seeing the car door open, those cat people were startled at first, and then the cat-eared little Lori surprised them again.

Not long after, the gate of the fence was opened, and a woman rushed out and hugged her tightly.

"Is that your mother? 」

"That's Aunt Lily, our parents...... It's gone. 」

Jim also got out of the car with a somewhat gloomy expression, and Chen Mo didn't know what to say.

When the cat-clan woman named Lily saw Jim appear, she hugged Jim tightly and didn't say anything, just hugged her two children and cried.

At this time, more and more cat people gathered around.

Jim didn't know what to say, an elderly cat clan old man walked to the car with a few middle-aged cat clans, and at this time Chen Mo also opened the car door and got out of the car, and the two sides of different races looked at each other like this.

The shape of the cat people is on the slender side, and the tallest person among them is a head shorter than Chen Mo, but the appearance is really not bad, except for the cat ears and cat tail, there is nothing abnormal with humans.

The cat people seemed to have seen the existence of humans a long time ago, so they were not surprised to look at Chen Mo, and most of their attention was on the RV.

"Hello, distinguished guest, thank you for sending those two children back to the village. These days, all of us are worried about their brother and sister. 」

The old man of the cat clan and the cat clan people on the side bowed their heads deeply to Chen Mo.

"You're welcome, they've helped me a lot, too. 」

"Well, let's talk to the village. If it's really as Jim said, the survival of our village is at stake, and I hope you can help me a lot. 」

"As long as I can do it. 」

Then Chen Mo drove the car into the village and parked at the corner of the village square.

Chen Mo took a look, there were about twenty or thirty houses in the village, and the number of people was about 100 people, which was really not much.

Then Chen Mo was led into the largest and best house in the village.

The cat people entertained Chen Mo with spring water soaked in some dried fruits and fresh fruits, and the two sides chatted, and the old man of the cat people began to bring up the topic.

"As Jim said, you have the spiritual power of the Blue Dragon Divine Monarch in your body......

"I don't know this, I've only been in this world for a few days, and I'm very new to everything here. What you need me to do, I won't shirk what I can. 」

"I see, let's start from scratch then. 」

The old man of the cat clan nodded, and a cat girl stood up on the side.

"Her name is Nicole, and she is the most powerful spellcaster in our village, and from today onwards, she will teach you how to cast spells. 」

"I'm tired. 」

Chen Mo nodded, and Catwoman Nicole also nodded slightly.

Although Nicole is a very beautiful cat woman, Chen Mo has long passed the age of estrus when he sees a beautiful woman, so he doesn't have any thoughts, at most he just takes a few more looks.

There were no extra polite words between the two sides, and the cat people did not pay attention to courtesy, so after this meeting, Chen Mo officially lived in the cat village, and even the cat people helped Chen Mo vacate a better cabin.

To this end, Chen Mo distributed a part of the materials brought by the car to the villagers. Mostly seasonings and stuff, and some plant seeds that Jim found at the supermarket.

After settling down, Chen Mo began to learn how to cast spells.

In the first step, Chen Mo first found the source of mana in himself, that is, the existence of the Qinglong Spirit Wood.

Generally, after the caster has determined the qualification, he must first meditate to accumulate mana, and then learn to cast spells.

However, Chen Mo skipped this step and directly used the green dragon spirit wood in his body as the source of mana.

Just the first step of this start made Chen Mo card for several days.

Imagine a thirty-six-year-old uncle whose concept of magic only comes from anime novels, has not done any meditation foundation, and his physical fitness is not very good. Telling him to find the source of mana in himself, Chen Mo didn't know what he should do at all, and after a few days, he was sitting in a daze.

In the end, Chen Mo was very skeptical about the existence of the Qinglong Spirit Wood in his body, if it weren't for the fact that the elders in the village were very sure, Chen Mo would have given up a long time ago.

On this morning, Chen Mo was sitting alone by the river outside the village, with three round stones the size of a ping-pong ball floating beside him, circling around him.

After a few days, he didn't feel the Qinglong Lingmu or anything, but the spiritual power became more and more proficient. Here he doesn't have to worry about other people's eyes, he plays with things around him all day long, and puts it down when he is tired, and it is difficult to think about it if he is not proficient.

"Good morning, Chen Mo. 」

At this time, a cat-eared girl approached him to say hello.

"Good morning, Nicole. 」

Chen Mo raised his hand in response.

In fact, Nicole's age is only a few years younger than Chen Mo, but the cat people are not easy to look old, so the two are equal friends. Over the past few days, Nicole has taken the time to teach some knowledge and experience about the caster, and the two sides are quite familiar with each other.

"Still hasn't made much progress, does that source of mana really exist?"

Chen Mo said helplessly. He couldn't learn spells, and the people in the village were more anxious than him, so Chen Mo had nothing to be impatient about.

"Don't worry, maybe your situation is a little special, at least your mental strength is far stronger than ours, huh...... Powerful exaggeration. 」

Nicole looked at the cobblestone floating around Chen Mo with some envy, although she was the most powerful spellcaster in the village, but she couldn't move objects with mental power alone like Chen Mo, and she could play for a long time.

Originally, Nicole wanted to talk about some knowledge of spellcasters, but Chen Mo didn't even get started, and he was confused when he heard it, so he asked about the situation in this area.

The village has been standing here for a hundred years, but the cat people rarely interact with the outside world, because the nearest town also has to walk for more than ten days, and the road is dangerous, so there is no need, the cat people rarely go far away, and the products of the surrounding environment are enough for the village to live a self-sufficient life.

In addition to farming, fishing is possible in the river, hunting in the mountains, spellcasters and alchemy in the village can cope with illness or injury. If you really want to say that it is insufficient, it is probably due to the lack of iron weapons and the like, and you have to go to the town to replenish it after a long time.

It doesn't belong to any country, it doesn't belong to any kingdom, and it has never been managed by anyone, except for the troubles of the demons in the south, the life of the village is quite peaceful.

In addition, the alchemy and spells in the village are partly passed down from ancestors, and partly learned from the outside world.

After a conversation, Nicole prepared to leave.

"I have a collection job today, and I'll come to you later. 」

"Gathering?"

"Hmm, do you want to come and see?"

"Okay. Chen Mo was fine, so he wanted to help.

After that, the two came to a field next to a field, where rows of shrub-like plants were planted, which felt a bit like tea trees, about half a person tall for Chen Mo, and full of small pink and purple flowers.

At first, Chen Mo wanted to pick flowers or leaves, but at this time, Nicole walked to the middle of the field, raised her hands, and silently read something in her mouth.

After a while, Chen Mo saw some green shimmers emitting from the shrubs in this field, slowly accumulating on Nicole's hands.

Looking at the green light, Chen Mo faintly felt something special.

Although each shrub collected a small amount of green light, the whole field was gathered together, and finally a green ball of light about the size of a fingernail was collected.

Then Nicole took out a bamboo tube filled with water from her body, put the green light ball in it and shook it, and then handed it to Chen Mo.

"This is the main ingredient of our alchemy. 」

The water in the bamboo tube was the kind of green water that Chen Mo had drunk when he was injured before, but now the water in the bamboo tube is much thicker.

The practice of alchemy in the Cat Man Village is very unique, not using the whole plant as raw materials, but absorbing part of the essence without harming the roots, and has achieved long-term use. Therefore, many fields have been opened up near the village, and most of them are very old medicinal plants, except for grain production.

However, the green essence is not long-lasting, it will evaporate within a few minutes, and it must be dissolved in the spring water taken from the mountain, so that the effect can be maintained for several weeks. As for the final product, it can be guaranteed for several months to a year, and it is the main cargo of Catman Village when it is traded abroad.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Mo staring into the bamboo tube, Nicole couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"The green light extracted from these plants is the energy of a life essence, right?"

"Can you see that?"

When Nicole collects them, they can at most perceive the existence of life energy, unlike Chen Mo who can directly see it with the naked eye.

"Can you give me this water? I want to do an experiment. 」

Nicole nodded, it wasn't an important herb anyway.

I saw Chen Mo dig his fingers deep into the bamboo tube, and after a while, the original thick green water changed back to a clean and transparent appearance.

Chen Mo raised his somewhat green fingers and said, "Is this situation normal?"

Nicole hurriedly shook her head, this is completely abnormal.

Although the extracted life essence can be absorbed by the human body, the amount at one time should not be too much, otherwise there will be a situation of "replenishment" too much, which is easy to alienate people's flesh, such as sarcoma and other messy things on the body, and even explode violently.

"You're alright. 」

Nicole looked at Chen Mo worriedly, the water in the bamboo tube could be diluted into a dozen potions.

"It's totally fine. I'd like to have a little bit of a ...... if I can."

After absorbing those essence energies, Chen Mo could feel something in his body jumping.

"Could it be that the Green Dragon Spirit Wood needs the energy of this life essence to activate? 」

"It's not unreasonable, so let's keep trying. 」

It's good to have feelings, but Nicole is actually quite afraid that Chen Mo will continue to feel nothing. After all, it is about the safety of the village, and it is a lie to say that there is no hurry.

Later, Nicole collected the life essence in another field, but this time she did not dissolve it into the spring water, but Chen Mo directly placed it in the palm of her hand to absorb it.

"Again. 」

After walking through more than ten fields in a row, just when Nicole's mana was about to run out, the silent things in Chen Mo's body finally reacted, and at this time, Chen Mo was like a hulk, his whole body was green and scary.

At this time, the reaction in Chen Mo's body was already very strong, but the feeling was not good, because the position of the reaction was in Chen Mo's brain.

After thinking about it, Chen Mo exhaled a trace of spiritual power and tried to touch it.

As a result, Chen Mo was shocked, and the green color on his body quickly faded.

In a trance, he seemed to see a bright starry sky.

There was also a branch, and on the top of the branch, two young green leaves grew.

However, this scene quickly receded, and Chen Mo saw Nicole's somewhat worried expression.

"I think I found it. 」
