Chapter 42: The Sleeping Mushroom
Many people may not be able to find ten in three or five days in the Moonlight Forest, which is too much of a waste of time.
Only first-class wizards will often come to this quest, and it is one of the few quests where you can earn magic stones, and it is also very secure.
Herag continued to look through some of the information on the sleeping mushroom, which generally grew twenty or thirty centimeters below the ground.
Veterans generally observe whether the ground is suitable for the growth of sleeping mushrooms based on experience, and then dig up the ground to see if there are sleeping mushrooms.
This method also has a low success rate, and it takes a lot of time for veterans.
"Maybe you can let Deep Blue try it." After considering it, Herag decided that this task should be more suitable for him.
You don't need to take this task, just go directly to the office to exchange the magic stone after picking the sleeping mushrooms.
After Herag decided, he began to prepare for the flea market to buy some related things.
Moonlight Forest is located in the north of the northern forest area, and it takes an hour to hike and just over 20 minutes to take by horse-drawn carriage.
There is a post station at the intersection of the northern forest area, you can take a carriage to the Moonlight Forest, the fare is two silver coins, and the official wizard is free, but the official wizard generally does not come to take the carriage.
As he waited for the bus at the inn, he noticed that three other people were also waiting for the bus, all wearing wizard apprentice robes.
"Are you also going to the Moonlight Forest?" After a brief silence, a chubby wizard picked up the conversation.
"Yes, I ...... My first time going. A thin wizard apprentice said with some nervousness.
After a brief understanding, the four of them became familiar with each other.
The chubby wizard is called McCann, the skinny wizard is called Ruka, and the other is named Sunny.
McCann had been here three times, earning a total of one magic stone and some gold, and the other two were first-time visitors like Herag.
"Don't go deep into the Moonlight Forest once you're in the Moonlight Forest, just stay on the edge." McCann explained.
"Why? This mission should be quite low-risk," Ruka asked.
McCann explained, "There is no danger in the mission itself, but there are not only magical beasts in the depths of the Moonlight Forest, but you may also encounter people from Grimm Hut. ”
"Grimm Hut? The Moonlight Forest is still quite far away from them, so it should be difficult to encounter. Ruka said as he thought back to the terrain.
"It's a small probability, but someone once went too deep and ran into the people of Grimm Hut, and then was tortured to death, and their bodies were hung at the entrance to the Moonlight Forest." McCann felt like he had experienced it, and his face was terrified.
Senny then said, "There is indeed this possibility, the people of the Green Hut will also come to the Moonlight Forest to pick some resources, so it is better for us to keep a certain distance." We are all first-class wizard apprentices, and we can't go too deep. ”
Herag listened to them and remained silent.
He'd known this information before, and someone in the Tavern had mentioned it.
After a few people talked for a while, the carriage finally arrived.
The horse pulling the carriage is a hybrid of a magical beast called Hellfoot, with flames on its hooves and a high speed.
The carriage in the Moonlit Glade does not have a coachman, and Hellfoot will pull the carriage back and forth on a fixed route by itself, and then go back to the horse farm to rest when it gets dark.
There is not much space inside the carriage and can accommodate six people.
Hellfoot looked back to make sure that the rest of the Herags had gotten into the car and started running, leaving some scorched marks as the flaming horses' hooves ran past, and there were many such footprints along the road.
It's early in the morning, and they need to hurry up and come back before sunset.
Wherever you are, the forest at night must be especially dangerous.
More than twenty minutes later, the four of them got off at the post station at the entrance of the Moonlight Forest.
When Hell Foot arrives at the station, it will stay here for a while, and when no one gets off, it will continue on its way.
The trees in the Moonlight Forest are all thick and tall, and they look like trees that have grown for many years.
There are usually dense low shrubs underneath the trees, and there are some distinctly shaped paths at the entrance, which are traces of people walking all year round.
A little further inside, you can't see the road at all, and it's especially difficult to navigate through such a jungle.
Prepared again, Herag drew his sword at his waist and cleared his way as he went.
He picked one direction and began to search, and the other three did the same, each picking a direction and starting to search for the sleeping mushroom.
"Deep Blue, start detecting the underground, target sleeping mushrooms." Herag gave the order for Deep Blue to scan around.
After his body data was improved, the scanning range of the dark blue was expanded to two hundred and fifty meters.
Sleeping mushrooms are generally located twenty or thirty centimeters underneath, which is completely sufficient.
The sleeping mushroom is covered with a special substance, which has a shielding effect on mana, but has no effect on dark blue.
"Sleeping mushrooms have been found, and the location has been marked in red." Herag hadn't taken a few steps before Deep Blue gave a hint.
In Herag's field of vision, a few meters in front of him, there was a mushroom in the shape of a red shuttle.
Herag took out the shovel in the spatial ring, and dug it when he reached the designated position.
He was very careful when digging, because he knew that the mushroom was too close to the ground, and if he wasn't careful, he might dig up the sleeping mushroom.
A few minutes later, Herag saw the head of the sleeping mushroom.
Sleeping mushrooms do not have umbrellas and are purple all over.
Herag cleared the surrounding dirt along the location of the Sleeping Mushroom, and then dug it out with ease.
The first sleeping mushroom arrived.
Herag continued on, and with the help of dark blue, he could save a lot of time on observation.
The ground is covered with so much low grass and trees that even a veteran can spend a lot of time just observing.
Five minutes later, Herag stopped, and Deep Blue spotted a sleeping mushroom again.
In the morning, Herag had found sixteen sleeping mushrooms.
He saw that it was still early, took some dry food, ate some casually, and continued to search for sleeping mushrooms.
It wasn't until the light dimmed in the Moonlight Forest that Herag looked up to find that it was already evening.
He counted his harvest and dug up a total of fifty-five sleeping mushrooms.
There was dew and a lot of leaves on his body, and a lot of dirt on his trouser legs.
Herag wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to walk outside, he had been moving around the periphery of the Moonlight Forest, and it only took him about ten minutes to reach the entrance.
Walking in the forest was a lot of physical exertion, and Herag felt a little tired after a busy day in it.
He was the first to come out, and after a while, the other three came out one after another.
The three of them looked more embarrassed than him, especially McCann, who was already fat, and he was covered in sweat and his robes were wet.
"How much did you dig?" McCann said weakly.
"Two." Ruka said.
Senny said, "Two." ”
McCann gasped: "I only found three, I'm exhausted." Herag, what about you? ”
