Chapter 66: The Heart of the Fertile Soil
"Onigiri, where are you, come out quickly, Lan Lan has your favorite meat steak here, if you don't come out, Lan Lan will eat it all alone." ”
Somewhere in the Boundless Forest, Solo and his party were unexpectedly "attritional" before they officially started their first mercenary journey, and the members took the initiative to leave the team. The priority now is not to complete the mercenary mission, nor to steal the dragon egg, but to find the disobedient little thing first, and then educate it severely.
Lan Lan held a piece of meat steak and shouted the name of the rice ball loudly in her mouth, her face full of worry. Although the rice ball usually likes to grab food with her, and she also uses Lan Lan's head as a nest, but the little girl has never been angry with the rice ball, and the rice ball is now alone in this boundless forest domain, in case she encounters the big snake-like monster before, the rice ball is not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth. Thinking of this, Lan Lan couldn't help but be so anxious that tears were about to come out.
"Onigiri~, Onigiri~, if you don't come out again, Lan Lan will be angry. The little girl cried out as hard as she could.
"Boom"
Suddenly, there was a sound in the bushes in front of me, followed by the unique cute sound of rice balls.
"Chirp~Tweet~Tweet~"
"Ah, it's the rice ball, the rice ball is over there, Dad, let's go over there." Lan Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly urged.
Beyond the bushes, a tree appeared in front of several people. Five or six meters tall, but more than four meters in diameter, the maple-shaped leaves show a magical pale blue, and the dense branches and leaves cover an area of more than ten meters, and dots of fireflies are sprinkled from it. The feeling of the whole tree can only be described as "dreamy".
"Chirp~Tweet~Tweet~"
The rice balls were now facing away from Soo and them, pouting and digging something under the tree.
"Ah, Onigiri, I've finally found you!!" Lan Lan ran to the side of the rice ball, holding the rice ball and rubbing it affectionately with her little face.
"Chirp~Chirp!"
However, the rice ball quickly screamed a few times, broke free from Lan Lan's hand, jumped to the small pit he had dug again, and continued to quickly dig the dirt with his little paws.
"Ah, do you mean there's something down here, Lan Lan is here to help you. Knowing the meaning of the rice balls, Lan Lan also rolled up her sleeves and joined the excavation operation.
When the rice ball was found, Solo breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the dreamlike tree, and Solo praised, "Tut, this tree is so beautiful, I've never seen such a tree before." ”
"Minnie, have you ever seen a tree like this before?"
Miranda thought for a moment and replied, "No, I have never seen a tree like this in my memory." ”
"Ah, I remember!!" At this time, Miss Lion on the side hammered her palm, looking suddenly realized.
"What do you remember?"
"I've said I've been around here so many times, how come I've never seen such a beautiful tree before, yes, it must be that one. As Domina walked around the tree, she confirmed her suspicions.
"This tree must be the legendary Tree of Fortune – the Hebeles. It had to be it, yes, hahaha, we were so lucky. Miss Lion jumped with excitement.
"Lucky Tree Hebles, I know Lucky Flower, this is the first time I've heard of Lucky Tree, is this tree famous?" Sawn cast a puzzled look at Domina.
"Of course, the Lucky Tree is a legend that exists in the Boundless Forest. "Legend has it that in the Infinite Forest there is a magical tree that moves around. This large tree will randomly appear anywhere in the Infinite Forest, and it will not stay in the same place for more than a day, and most adventurers will never touch it once in their lives. But once touched, the tree will bring you good luck. ”
"Unlike the lucky flower, the Fog Flower, the Fog Flower can bring good luck, in fact, it is more often a kind of beautiful vision given to it, in fact, whether the Fog Flower has any effect, no one can say. But the Lucky Tree is different, once you touch it, it means that there must be a rare treasure around it, which is recognized by all those who have touched it, it depends on whether you can find it yourself. Therefore, the Hepales is also known as the Tree of Wealth. ”
"There is such a miraculous thing, the Tree of Fortune...... Hehe, it came at a good time. Solo smiled, he was worried about money when he came across such an opportunity.
Domina rubbed her hands together and said with excitement on her face: "Since we are lucky enough to meet today, let's do it quickly, and we will be rich after finding the treasure." Miss Lion's eyes were full of gold coins.
The two soon came to an agreement, and in full swing began to search around the Herbaces for all sorts of things that might be treasures.
Instead of acting, Miranda takes Miko by the hand and admires the fantastic tree of luck. She doesn't deny the legend of the Lucky Tree, but she doesn't expect much from the treasures that may appear, Miranda, who has seen countless treasures in her hundreds of years of robbing the rich and helping herself, but for some reason, those treasures are not around. So she really can't be interested in this so-called treasure.
......
......
"Whew, I'm tired, I've searched everywhere, but I haven't found the shadow of the treasure. Solo stuck out his tongue, just now he and Domina had searched the surrounding area for dozens of meters, but they couldn't find even a decent thing, let alone any treasure.
"Didn't it have been taken away by someone else? No, it was fine before we came, and no one looked like it had been here before. Domina was also puzzled, and finally met the lucky tree, and if she returned empty-handed, it would be a joke.
On the other side, the excavation team of Onigiri and Lan Lan has also come to an end.
"Hey"
Lan Lan dug down, and suddenly her little hand felt as if she had been touched by something strange, so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand.
"Ah, what is this, it's a sticky mess, it's disgusting. Lan Lan clapped her hands, although the thing didn't get on her hands just now, the touch still made her feel sick.
Hearing Lan Lan's words, his little eyes lit up, and he quickly scraped a few handfuls of soil, and soon, a brownish-gray, half the size of a fist, like jelly, appeared in front of him.
"Chirp~"
The little one picked up the jelly-like mass with one paw, and then put it on his head, dancing and jumping on the ground with joy.
"Huh~, rice balls, this thing is so disgusting, take it down. ”
Lan Lan's voice attracted the attention of Solo and the others, and when they passed, they found that Lan Lan was trying to take the ball off the head of the rice ball, but the rice ball was holding on to the ball and refused to let go of its claws.
"Dad, come and help Lan Lan take this ball away from the rice ball, it's disgusting. Lan Lan saw that the savior was coming, and immediately said coquettishly.
Solo was about to go over, but Miranda stepped over to Lan Lan first, lifting the rice ball and looking closely at the jelly-like mass it was holding.
"It's ...... Heart of the Fertile Earth!! How could the Heart of the Fertile Earth be here? Miranda looked at the "jelly" and was amazed.
"Heart of the Fertile Earth?
Not only Tho, but even Domina, who has been a mercenary for many years, has never heard of what the Heart of the Fertile Earth is, but looking at Miranda's expression, I think that the treasure this time should be the Heart of the Fertile Earth.
"You don't know it's normal, the probability of this thing appearing is too small, in places where the earth element is extremely strong, there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance of forming a small point, if you look at this group, it will take at least tens of thousands of years to reach this level. Miranda explained slowly, "But what I don't understand is that this is not an earth element condensation area, how can there be a heart of fertile soil." ”
"Aha, it must be caused by the power of the Tree of Fortune, Miranda, tell us how much this thing is worth. Domina asked eagerly.
"For magicians who practice earth magic, it can be called a priceless treasure, if you really want to estimate the price, 10w gold coins. Miranda paused and continued, "Lowest price." ”
"Wow, we're rich, hahahaha, I'll just say, how can we meet the lucky tree and go home empty-handed, hahaha, take this thing and sell it for gold coins, the most fashionable clothes, the most high-end cosmetics...... Hahahaha, you can buy whatever you want. The more Miss Lion thought about it, the happier she became, and her blue eyes narrowed into a slit.
Solo was also very happy when he knew the value of the Heart of the Fertile Land, and now he also knew that money is not everything, and it is indeed impossible to have no money.
"Don't rejoice too soon, this thing is right...... It has a lot of effect on me, so I can't sell it, otherwise I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to meet it again. Miranda's voice was like a basin of cold water, which poured cold on the two people who were on the rise.
"Minnie, you're not a magician, why do you want this. Tho asked hurriedly.
"You don't care about this, in short, it's useful to me, I won't ask for your opinion, no matter what you think, I'll just assume that you agree. Miranda's domineering response blocked Solo at once.
"Now I want to know what you think, Domina, after all, this thing was discovered by everyone. The red eyes met the azure eyes, and Miranda looked at Domina, wondering what the young lady of the Golden Lion Clan would choose.
"Hmm~" Miss Lion didn't get too entangled, and made a decision after a little thought.
"Since Miranda needs it, let's just take it, friendship can't be bought with gold, we're already friends, aren't we?" Domina smiled at Miranda.
Miranda was a little surprised, originally thought that he would have to use force if necessary, but the other party gave up such a large amount of wealth so easily, and instead showed favor to himself, so it seems that he is a little too narrow-minded.
"Thank you for your understanding, Domina. In that case, I'll try my best to help you when you steal dragon eggs later. Miranda also promised Domina.
"Hehe, in this way, I still feel like I earned it. ”
"Chirp Tweet !!"
At this time, the rice ball, which had been being carried by Miranda, suddenly struggled violently.
"Ah, Fangiri said, this thing was found by it, sister, you can't grab it. Lan Lan translated at the right time.
"Hmm!!"
Miranda, Saw, and Domina, the three of them gathered together, and their six eyes were staring at the little point in Miranda's hand, but the rice ball was not afraid at all, clinging to the heart of the fertile soil, and did not let go.
