I am the spirit teacher

Stinkweed is quite difficult to find, especially since their current location is most likely the boundary of the stinkweed tribe.

The number of stinkweed growing in this kind of place is very small, and the purple color of the roots is not very conspicuous, making it more troublesome to find.

Lin Xi searched around in a semicircle, his eyes almost blurred, and finally found a plant in the crack of a cracked stone.

"Finally found it! It seems that it is a little more difficult to find it at the border of the Stinky Flower territory..." Lin Xi held the Stinky Grass and walked back.

After returning to the place where Zhu Mingzhi and his party were resting, Lin Xi showed everyone the stink grass he finally found in his hand.

"You see, the bottom rhizome of stink grass is purple, and it smells a little faint. This aroma is different from the fragrance of wild grass, but more similar to the fragrance of honey. The appearance of this plant is different from ordinary wild grass. What's the difference? They just look weaker. Because of their smaller size, they are often sandwiched by ordinary weeds, making them harder to detect. So collecting stink grass is a special test of human patience. And the work of eyesight..."

Lin Xi explained while showing the stink grass in his hand to Zhu Mingzhi and others.

Zhu Mingzhi took the stink grass directly from Lin Xi's hand, observed it carefully, took out his mobile phone and took two photos, and then handed it to Chen Si who was nearest.

Chen Si, He Zhengwen, Hu Jingjing and others took a close look at it. After taking photos, the stinky grass returned to Lin Xi's hands again.

"Okay, everyone is already familiar with what stink grass looks like, right?" Zhu Mingzhi asked.

Hu Jingjing took out the photo and looked at it before nodding.

"That…"

Before Zhu Mingzhi finished speaking, Lin Xi took the lead and said:

"Brother Mingzhi, let's go deeper and start looking."

"Oh? The smell will be much more obvious if you go deeper."

Lin Xi explained: "I know, but the number of stinkweeds growing on the outermost edge of the stinkweed territory is extremely rare. It is estimated that everyone will not be able to find them all in a morning to make half a day's dose of deodorant."

"Is the efficiency so low?" Zhu Mingzhi frowned upon hearing this, and immediately agreed with Lin Xi's statement and continued to delve deeper.

……

The team continued to go deeper under the leadership of Zhu Mingzhi. After walking for a while, everyone only felt one lingering stench coming to their nostrils...

Under the influence of the stench, everyone's faces turned green...

Hu Jingjing couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiao Lin, how much deeper should we go? I can hardly stand the smell now!"

Although the others did not speak, they nodded wildly to express their positions.

In fact, Lin Xi couldn't stand the stench anymore. After hearing Hu Jingjing's question, he immediately looked around and then said:

"Brother Mingzhi, how about we try our luck here? I don't want to go any further. It's too stinky..."

"Okay, let's all look for the stinkweed here separately. Every time we see one, we pull out another one! Once Xiao Lin feels that there are enough, we will immediately take the stinkweed and return to the boundary of the territory!"

Zhu Mingzhi gave the order and the team immediately dispersed after responding.

The territory of the Stinky Flower is different from that of other elves. Because its odor is too obvious, except for some elves who are weak and need protection, few powerful elves are willing to live in the Stinky Flower. Near the Stinky Flower territory, not to mention Lin Xi and others who are currently in the middle of the Stinky Flower territory.

The possibility of encountering danger was very low, so low that even Lin Xi could move alone without protection.

Speaking of protection, Lin Xi suddenly thought of a question...

Lin Xi and Zhu Mingzhi had speculated before that in order to ensure his safety, the college should send down one or two Class S instructors from above to protect him.

But after such a long time, they encountered a group of Firebirds and crossed the Centipede King's territory...why didn't anyone show up?

Could it be that his and Zhu Mingzhi's guesses were wrong?

Lin Xi, who had been thinking for a long time but couldn't think of an answer, shook his head to get rid of the unnecessary thoughts in his mind.

If there's no one to protect him, then there's no one to protect him. Anyway, it's quite embarrassing for a grown man like him to be protected all the time.

……

I don’t know whether it’s to escape the stench attack as soon as possible or because everyone is extremely efficient at work. In less than half an hour since everyone started searching, everyone has collected all the stinky grass that will be used to make potions today and tomorrow. quantity.

Everyone who was eager to return home, when they heard Lin Xi say that the number of Stinkweeds was enough, they couldn't wait to turn around and walk towards the border of Stinkweed territory...

While walking, he complained: "Why do there exist little elves like Stinky Flower in the world, which not only test people's mentality, endurance, but also their physical endurance?"

Chen Si on the other side also complained: "I have suffered so much! I would rather participate in the investigation of Nido King and Nido Queen than go through the investigation of the Stinky Flower Clan again!"

He Zhengwen echoed: "Yes... Nidoking and Nidoqueen's investigation work is a bit dangerous, but as long as you are more careful and run faster, there will be nothing wrong. It's not like this smelly flower... It's dangerous, but it's not dangerous, that's it." You can’t avoid the disgusting smell! No wonder this job is rated as the most disliked job every year.”

Zhu Mingzhi, who accidentally got involved in this investigative work because of his smelly hands, walked forward silently, not daring to interrupt.

Hu Jingjing suddenly turned to look at Lin Xi and said expectantly:

"Xiao Lin, can the potion you mentioned really block out the smell of smelly flowers?"

Lin Xi nodded: "Of course. This is a product that four elf researchers spent more than two months researching. The quality is guaranteed."

"That's good, that's good. Unexpectedly, even though Brother Zhu got the most torturous Smelly Flower investigation work, he also brought in a handsome guy who was already an elf researcher at a young age, and he happened to have a shield. What a wonderful way to get rid of the smell of smelly flowers!" Hu Jingjing felt comfortable, and even the smell felt much lighter.

The atmosphere in the team became much more relaxed, and coupled with the honey scent of the stinkweed in everyone's arms, the mood improved unconsciously.

But in a good mood, everyone tried their best to get back to the border of Stinky Flower's territory within 10 minutes.

They piled the stinky weeds they had gathered together, and then all turned to look at Lin Xi.

"Xiao Lin, how long does it take to make deodorant? Today is the second day of our investigation, and we don't have much time." Zhu Mingzhi asked.

"Don't worry, brother Mingzhi. The deodorizing agent is a mixture of several herbs. It only needs to be boiled over fire for three to ten minutes and then cooled down quickly. It will be very convenient with the help of the power of the elf."
