marry far away

Yu Xi carried an improvised cloth bag on his back, and entered Geha Forest with Locke's notebook in his hand.

Locke kindly sent him to the entrance of the forest.

Yu Xi looked at the notebook while walking towards the pond mentioned on the tree.

Locke said there was very little Lathweed, so he had to make an alternate target for himself.

Alternate targets are best near here.

Yu Xi rummaged through his notebook and only found two alternative targets that were relatively close to his original target: Water Dragon and Yinse Grass.

But Yu Xi hesitated.

Because these two things are the most difficult animals and plants in the entire notebook.

The water dragon lives in a large pond one kilometer away from where the Lars grass grows. It is an amphibian.

And yinse grass grows on the edge of the pond.

The water dragon is the only animal that needs to be killed and brought back. It has a whole body that has its own uses and can be sold for a good price.

And Yinse grass is a high-level herb, it doesn't have much lethality in itself, but because it was born near the water, it will be attacked by water dragons while collecting it.

The water dragon responds quickly. As long as there is any movement near the water, it will immediately jump out of the water and bite its prey.

Unknowingly, when Yu Xi looked up, he found that he had walked to the location mentioned in the notebook: next to a towering red tree.

There are traces of people walking along the way, not like an inaccessible forest at all.

This is the only red tree in this area.

Sparse grass grew under the mangrove tree. It seemed that many people had been here like him.

Yu Xi looked up and saw a few small animals occasionally swaying among the leaves on the mangrove.

That's a red squirrel that lives on a mangrove tree.

The notebook says that Rathgrass has a symbiotic relationship with this mangrove, so it can only grow within the shade of this tree.

But judging from the current situation, the chances of finding Rathgrass here are very small.

But even so, Yu Xi still lowered his head and searched carefully around the red tree.

The mangrove itself is already a very large tree, and the area covered by the crown is also somewhat large.

In order not to miss anything, Yu Xi checked the outer circle that no longer belonged to the shade of the mangrove tree.

Unfortunately still not.

In the blink of an eye, one morning has passed.

Yu Xi, who had been walking all morning, was already grumbling in his stomach.

Yu Xi looked at the sky, then found a stone under the tree to take a rest, and took out the bread that Locke had prepared for him from the cloth bag and gnawed on it.

He hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible, so Yu Xi gave himself half a day before coming in.

If he can't find Rathgrass within half a day, he has to look for other targets.

Yu Xi didn't plan to spend the night in the forest, that would be too dangerous.

He is now in the depths of Geha Forest, and he doesn't know what ferocious animals he will encounter at night.

Although I am already an apprentice magician, I can't even release the first-level water magic.

Isn't it food for beasts here at night?

Suddenly, Yu Xi felt a weight on his shoulders, and then there was a fluffy touch on his face.

He turned his head and found that the red squirrel landed on his shoulder without any fear.

Its two eyes are looking at the bread in its hand.

Yu Xi amusedly broke off a small piece and handed it to it.

After receiving the bread, the red squirrel sat on his shoulder and gnawed it.

Just as Yu Xi was about to continue his lunch, a red squirrel landed and squatted in front of Yu Xi, looking at him like the previous squirrel.

This time he didn't give it the bread directly, but carefully looked up at the top.

Sure enough, small heads emerged from the branches of the tree, all looking in his direction.

Yu Xi knew that as long as he continued to feed, there would be endless red squirrels jumping down.

Although he was already full, he still shook the bread in his hand playfully and said to the squirrel in front of him, "Do you want to eat bread?"

When he was about to say the next sentence, he saw the squirrel in front of him nodding!

Yu Xi looked at the red squirrel in shock.

Is this a squirrel that can understand human speech?

Yu Xi tried to ask: "Can you understand me?"

Squirrel nodded again.

Yu Xi excitedly turned his head to look at the squirrel on his shoulder and said, "Can you understand me too?"

The squirrel eating bread glanced at him and nodded.

Yu Xi had a flash of inspiration and said to the squirrel in front of him, "Bread can't be eaten for free, can it?"

"If you want to eat, let's exchange it?"

"How about exchanging with the more useful plants in this forest?"

"You are squirrels, so a piece of grass and a small piece of bread." Yu Xi pointed to the squirrel on his shoulder and said, "It's about the same size as the one just now."

As soon as Yu Xi finished speaking, the squirrel in front of him ran away and disappeared.

The squirrel on the shoulder also jumped away after eating the bread.

Yu Xi looked at the bread in his hand, and put it back into the cloth bag with some amusement.

I originally thought of using this method to get some plants that can pay back a little, but they don't seem to like this kind of transaction.

Anyway, already full, Yu Xi stood up, ready to go to the next goal.

Just as he was about to lift his feet, he saw a red shadow running over from the grass in front of him.

It looks like a red squirrel that just ran away.

When the squirrel ran in front of Yu Xi, he realized that the squirrel was holding a plant in its hand.

Seeing the red squirrel handing the plant to him, Yu Xi instantly understood what it meant.

It seemed to like his proposal just now.

Yu Xi took the grass, then took out the bread that was put in the bag before, broke off a piece and handed it to it.

After it took it, it stood aside and gnawed happily.

Yu Xi carefully inspected the plant in his hand, from the shape and appearance, it was very similar to the Lassica described in the notebook.

Not long after, the red squirrel who had just eaten the bread came back, also holding a plant in his paws.

It is exactly the same as the one in Yu Xi's hand.

Yu Xi took the grass knowingly, and then broke a piece of bread in exchange.

This behavior of the two squirrels was noticed by the red squirrel on the tree.

They jumped off the mangrove tree and ran away.

About half an hour later, the squirrels that had been scattered before ran back one by one, each holding a Lassica in their hands.

Yu Xi could not help but look at these handsome red squirrels, and after taking the lass grass from them, he handed them the bread one by one.

It turned out that the piece was not enough, so Yu Xi took out another whole piece of bread.

Seeing that there was already a small bundle of Lasca in front of him, Yu Xi hurriedly called to stop those squirrels who were still looking for them.

"That's enough, thank you."

"My bread is gone."

Yu Xi put the Kunlas grass into his cloth bag and looked up at the sky.

It was still early, and he still wanted to go to that pond to have a look, and if possible, he wanted to pick some high-grade herbs back home.

After Yu Xi waved to the group of squirrels, he started walking towards the pond.

This time the road is obviously more difficult than just now.

There are fewer traces of people walking by.

It took Yu Xi nearly half an hour to travel one kilometer.

Looking at the indistinct water surface in front of him, he began to be careful.

Water dragons are amphibians, and they may appear on the edge of the pond.

Yu Xi stopped in a clearing with few weeds 20 meters away from the pond, where there happened to be a tree that could block people.

He looked in the direction of the pond, and the plants with purple flowers on the edge of the pond were the yinse grass mentioned in the notebook.

At first glance, the edge of the pond is full.

The fact that it is so lush and expensive can only mean that it is dangerous.

Yu Xi looked around.

With a long enough pole, he can get the grass without going near the pond.

Obviously, there is really no 20-meter-long pole that he can hold.

Suddenly, a wriggling thing caught Yu Xi's attention.

Squinting his eyes and looking carefully, Yu Xi was sure that it was a snake with thick thighs!

The thing seemed to be swimming around the pond, with no head or tail in sight, only a passing body.

Looking at it, Yu Xi had goosebumps all over his body.

This thing should be a water dragon.

Pfft!

There was the sound of something falling into the water from the pond.

Immediately afterwards, the head of the faucet jumped out of the water, and quickly fell back into the water.

There was another crash.

Yu Xi thought he was dazzled.

There is a man standing in the pond!

Judging from the man's figure, he was a swordsman.

Yu Xi guessed that this person, like himself, was preparing funds for going out to practice.

But the swordsman is worthy of being a swordsman, so he directly entered the water dragon's territory.

The man had just stood up when the water dragon sprang out of the water again, opening its mouth and biting directly at the man's shoulder.

Yu Xi widened his eyes nervously for the man.

Locke's notes clearly stated that the water dragon is highly poisonous, and if bitten, it will kill you on the spot.

Next, Yu Xi's heart fell back, because the man grabbed the water dragon by seven inches with his bare hands when it was about to bite his shoulder, and his hands gradually exerted force.

The water dragon's head was held tightly by the man, unable to move, and its tail was wrapped around his waist, as if it was going to strangle the man to death in this way.

The man seemed to have sensed its intentions, and he turned around and threw the snake ashore. In the next second, a sword pierced the snake's head, nailing it to the ground.

Yu Xi hid behind the tree and watched in fear.

After waiting until the snake stopped moving, Luomen wrapped the snake around the sword, picked it up and prepared to leave.

If you change your body, you have to start all over again.

He had already forgotten when was the last time he killed a water dragon.

Before leaving, Roman turned his head and glanced at the tree not far away, he could feel a magician hiding there.

***

After the swordsman left, Yu Xi looked at the piece of high-grade medicinal herbs on the pond, and walked over lightly.

Locke's notes said that only one water dragon will live in a pond, and if that water dragon is killed, a new water dragon will live in it a day later.

So now that pond is safe.
