Lord of Plenty

Kun, who was protected in the center of the team, flicked away a flower spider that landed on his arm. He observed the mysterious forest with great interest.

If he had to choose a place closest to ancient myths from the many legendary places on the Yongxu Continent, Kun would definitely choose this place first, a corner of the former Eternal Forest, now the Ever Dark Forest.

The green shade of the trees covered the sky, and the sunlight could only fall a little bit through the gaps between the shades. It was obviously in the daytime, but there was a strange feeling of walking in the evening. Under the shade of the trees, all kinds of exotic flowers competed for beauty, and strange and piercing cries of unknown origin were heard. It was obviously bare when Kun came here last time, but it seemed that a long time had passed since he hadn't seen it for more than half a month.

There are too many legends about the Ever Dark Forest in the Kingdom of Dansu. Every child in the kingdom is familiar with them, such as the place where giant dragons linger, the forest where ancient monsters appear, the magic potion treasure house, and the last treasure hiding place of the ancient elf empire.

Some people even swore that they had met the gravekeepers of the ancient Elf Empire in the Ever Dark Forest. They followed the ancient covenant and had been waiting for the successors of the ancient Elf Empire to return here to take away the treasure.

There are countless similar legends, most of which were made by some monster hunters who roamed the monster forests all year round. They drank too much and boasted to others. If you don't believe it, it's okay. If you believe it, you may be in trouble.

For example, the seventh king of the Dansu Kingdom, who was originally a wise king, became confused in old age and was extremely afraid of death. I don't know which half-baked potion master rumored that the heart of a dragon can prolong people's life.

I also heard that a mercenary swore that he saw a dragon flying over the Ever Dark Forest, so he used half of the country's strength and assembled 100,000 well-equipped soldiers to take down the Ever Dark Forest, a hard-to-bite fat piece of meat.

As a result, the dragon was not found, but the super-class monsters living in the Ever Dark Forest were angered. The 100,000-strong army was slaughtered without even a splash. The Kingdom of Dansu almost perished because of this. Even the king was pushed to the gallows by the angry people and nobles. He was the only king in the history of the Kingdom of Dansu who was not buried in the National Cathedral.

As the group of people from Fengrao Territory continued to go deeper, a strange plant with red stamens and blue leaves rooted in the tree trunk and looking like a bird's head attracted Kun's attention.

"That's a magic potion. Pick it with the bark. Be careful not to hurt its roots."

As soon as Kun finished speaking, a soldier in the team jumped up the tree as lightly as a monkey and nimbly picked the magic potion for Kun.

"Well, not bad."

After encouraging the guard, Kun carefully picked up the magic potion and carefully identified it. With a light "eh", Kun looked around and reached out to touch the tree where the magic potion took root, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Sir, is there anything wrong?"

"It's strange. I have cultivated this kind of magic potion before. Logically, the longitude and latitude, temperature, humidity, light, and even the wood where it takes root and parasitizes are all not suitable for the growth of the ibis-headed feathers. Even if it survives, the quality should not be so good. Is it wrong to write "High-level Magic Potion Cultivation Encyclopedia"? It shouldn't be. It's a book handed down from the ancient Elf Empire. Is it because of the passage of time that the habits of these magic potions have changed?"

"Sir, do you see this kind of magic potion in the tree crown?"

Kun raised his head and found that on this tree and several ancient trees around it, there were no less than twenty ibis-headed feathers growing in the tree canopy.

"How is this possible? How can high-level magic potions grow so densely?"

Kun blinked hard, feeling like he was hit on the head with a stick.

The ibis head feather he had carefully cultivated before was growing so mediocrely. It took so long for it to bloom and be used to make magic potions. Who is he? He is the only fertility wizard on Yongxu Continent. He can only cultivate this kind of rare magic potion with difficulty, but here it grows like a pile of weeds on the ground. Kun can't help but doubt his life.

"No wonder the Forest of Everlasting Darkness is known as the treasure house of magic potions on the continent. Not only is there a large number of them, but many ancient magic potions that can no longer be found in the outside world may still be here. Come on, pick all these magic potions and make a fortune. Well, forget about the small ones. Leave them here first and pick them when they are a little more mature. They are very precious and difficult to transplant."

Kun was a little excited when he saw the extra 27 mature magic potions in the storage space. The ibis-headed feather is a high-level magic potion that has been extinct in the outside world for hundreds of years. This magic potion can be used to make a magic potion called "Zhulu Bone Quenching Liquid" that can continuously strengthen the physical fitness of warriors.

Kun is a mage, but the Alan family he was born in is a famous military family in the kingdom. Generations are proud to be great warriors. The poor study literature and the rich practice martial arts. Although there is no such saying in Yongxu Continent, having a good family to support it will undoubtedly save a lot of detours.

Dawn and Kun's father, Marquis Lawrence, are almost the same age. In terms of swordsmanship and warrior will, Dawn is more than one level higher than Lawrence, but he is no match for the latter. This is the difference caused by the background.

Compared with children from ordinary civilian families who start to serve as squires and servants for warriors at the age of ten, and then learn the popular fighting methods, even Dawn became an apprentice warrior at the age of sixteen.

The children of the Alan family started to practice fighting at the age of five, and were taught by the best third-level warriors in the royal capital to become famous fighting skills. Kun's father, Marquis Lawrence, had already entered the second level when he was sixteen years old.

In addition to polishing the time gap on the basis of the third level, fighting qi methods, fighting skills secrets, medicated baths once every three days, various auxiliary fighting qi training, and potions to enhance physical fitness are all available. How can a person with more than 20 years of hard work be able to defeat the enemy? It can be obtained from the accumulation and heritage of an ancient family for nearly a thousand years.

Especially those magic potions and secret medicines that can increase physical fitness. Most people have probably never heard of them, let alone seen them.

Even the Yalan family, a long-standing martial arts family, has only accumulated thirty-nine secret recipes for this type of potion, half of which cannot be prepared due to the disappearance of the main potion. "Zhulu Bone Tempering Liquid" is one of them. .

When he was a child, Kun thought for a while that his father was so indifferent to him because he was not strong enough and had no talent in warrior training, so Kun tried his best to cultivate an ibis feather.

Because he heard that the magic potion prepared from it, "Zhulu Bone Tempering Liquid", is the most effective among the potions collected by the Yalan family that can enhance physical fitness.

Most potions that enhance physical fitness have side effects. For example, most of the men in the Yalan family are burly and look like little giants. In the eyes of the outside world, this is the characteristic of the Yalan family. They have good blood and are born warriors. In fact, they are just that. This is just a rumor, just because of the side effects of long-term use of potions. To put it bluntly, it is a mutation and a disease.

Later, Kun learned that the reason why "Zhu Lu Bone Tempering Liquid" is called one of the best potions for increasing physical fitness is not because it has a particularly strong effect on improving physical fitness, but because its side effects are so small that they can be ignored.

Therefore, as long as there are enough ibis feathers, a few more bottles of "Zhulu Bone Tempering Liquid" can be prepared.

But just because the effect of this potion on improving physical fitness is not particularly outstanding, Kun tried to find a new way to become a warrior and failed. If his talent in magic is ten, then his talent as a warrior is minus ten. That is One serving of "Zhu Lu Bone Tempering Liquid" is simply not enough for him.

Kun later figured out that instead of his incompetent youngest son becoming a warrior, perhaps offering the precious ibis head feathers to Marquis Lawrence would win his favor more?

After walking back and forth seven or eight times around the big trees where the magic medicine grew, Kun didn't find anything special about this place. He could only sigh, "Created by nature, magical and natural."

No matter how much humans imitate the growth environment of potions and cultivate them carefully, they are only sub-par and cannot be perfect. The potions cultivated are always less effective than wild potions.

"Let's go, we have to rush to the lair of the Blood Horror Wolf. Dawn, ask someone to mark it here. Don't destroy it. Try to keep it as it is. Maybe it will continue to produce magic potions in the future. ”

"clear."

As Kun and his party gradually approached the lair of the Blood Horror Wolf, bursts of pungent and rotten smell filled the air, mixed with the unmistakable smell of blood.

"Everyone, alert!"

Dawn, who was familiar with the terrain, walked at the front of the team with a big sword in hand, his eyes full of vigilance. His slightly arched body could avoid being discovered and was also conducive to exerting force.

The Blood Horror Demonic Wolf has the habit of marking its territory and lair with urine to deter enemies. This strong smell of the demonic wolf is enough to scare away any high-level demonic beast, but the clear huge crawling traces that lead directly to the depths of the lair, and the neat The broken branches and broken trees that were knocked down on both sides told everyone that a huge creature had not long ago ignored the threat of the blood-terrible demon wolf and broke into the depths of the lair.

Kun, who was stifled by the stench in the air, took out a blue medical mask from the storage space, skillfully tore open the plastic packaging and put it on his face.

"There are only traces of going in, but no traces of coming out. Could it be that it wasn't the gold-devouring earth dragon that was victorious, but the demon wolves that survived? This is really beyond my expectation."

Kun was a little excited for his first outdoor adventure. He thought that the gold-eating earth dragon would survive, and then he would personally deal with the remaining blood dragon. It would be best if he could capture it alive. After all, a living gold-eating earth dragon is equal to A living magic mine is much more valuable than a dead one, but it seems that the final winners are those bloody demon wolves?

As everyone gets closer to the core area of ​​the lair, the stench in the air has been covered up by the smell of blood. The white bones left by the blood-horrible demon wolves are everywhere, thickly layered, as if they are spread on the earth. Like a carpet of bones, Kun's face was filled with doubts and his face became more solemn.

The soldier with the escort suddenly made a gesture. He found the body of a bloody demon wolf, just at his feet. The lower half of the demon wolf's body was intact, but the upper half of the body was covered with mud. It seemed that it was He was trampled to death by the claws of some terrible monster.

Dawn identified the marks on the demon wolf's body and nodded slightly in Kun's direction, confirming that this was the damage caused by the gold-eating earth dragon.

Ordinary low-level monsters would not even dare to run away when encountering the superior existence of the gold-devouring earth dragon, and could only lie there and wait for death. This is the blood type of the blood-horror demon wolf, which will go crazy and fight to the death at the slightest disagreement, and is not afraid of death. Only those monsters who dare to fight to the death will fight to the death.

But even if you are not afraid, the gap between strength and rank will not change because of this. The method for the dragon clan to break through to the third level is to rely on long years of continuous accumulation of knowledge, to forcefully break through the natural chasm and evolve into an ancient dragon. It looks a bit stupid, but it is also stronger. , even if two dragon eggs are born in a row, most of the life will be lost. No matter how weak the gold-eating earth dragon is, it can't defeat those blood-horror demon wolves, can it still be unable to escape?

Afterwards, the crowd found more and more demon wolf corpses and traces of fighting here. It was confirmed that the Ice Fang Mercenary Group had indeed attracted the earth dragons here, and triggered a fight between the earth dragons and the demon wolf group.

Dozens of demon wolf corpses were found, but the corpse of the gold-eating earth dragon was nowhere to be seen. Even the obvious traces left by the earth dragons after walking seemed to disappear out of thin air in this area, which seemed very strange.

"Did the earth dragon escape?"

Kun shook his head and disagreed with this view.

"Earth dragons can't fly, so even if they burrowed into the ground to escape, they should have left traces. The number of demon wolf corpses doesn't match. The demon wolf group Dawn found was of medium size, so how many demon wolf corpses are there here? Far less than a hundred."

"Besides, if the earth dragon escaped, the winner should be the blood-terror demon wolf, but we have been wandering around the nest for most of the day, how could a living demon wolf attack us? And no matter how I look at this place, it doesn't look like a nest."

The blood-terror demon wolf has the habit of decorating its nest with the bones of its prey, but this place is too empty, with bones all over the ground. It is easy to be attacked by aerial predators if it breeds offspring in such a place. No matter how fierce the blood-terror demon wolf is, it doesn't have wings and can't deal with flying monsters, so this is not a suitable nest location.

Kun stepped on the ground, and the loose bones suddenly sank into it. Turning his head and looking around, Kun found that the terrain here was much higher than the surrounding area.

"Could it be..."

Kun took out the short-handled coral staff and cast magic.

The red dragon bone deep sea coral only grows one centimeter every hundred years, and is one of the best materials for making water-based magic wands. Although the properties of this magic wand are a little inconsistent with him, it is easy to use and will not hinder Kun's magic power transmission. This magic wand has been with him for many years and Kun has never changed it.

After all, for him, unless it is a legendary weapon made of the main materials of a super-class wood-based monster, the effect of casting spells with any magic wand is almost the same.
