Studying Science in the Alternate World

  Chapter 97 Footprint

  The cantharis army that came to eat left, and the small Duke farm returned to calm, but James farm sent many workers to take care of the physalis blood spirit fruit that had been gnawed into a mess by the acid cantharis.

  The patrol knights of the Black Snake family stepped up their patrols, patrolling Xiaohewan Farm three times during the day and twice at night.

  Duke went to Shenjiao City.

  Every departure on the route, there are two black beetle cars paired with a black centipede car, which has become the busiest route in Heijiaohe. Perhaps there were too many great knights accompanying them, and no spirit beasts dared to invade the route along the way.

  First went to the waste card station to find a batch of scrapped spirit cards, and then went to purchase the card materials needed for card repairs. Finally, Duke went to a second-hand bookstore.

   Spending a full three gold dragons, I found a large number of old books and newspapers, which filled two suitcases.

  After returning to Snake Town, he continued to live a step-by-step life.

   However, when the person in charge of James Farm brought a team to the Little Duke Farm to trim the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit, he learned from the other party's mouth that Bernoulli's Mage Tower is not a force in Heijiaohe.

   "The mage towers in Huoyoudi-Nujiao City belong to the Wind Breath domain and are next to our Heijiaohe land. Master Bernoulli, said to be one of the rulers of the Union Tower in Nujiao City, is already more than 150 years old. He is going to retreat to the second line and wants to use the pioneering war to start his own family."

  Heijiaohe land and Huoyou land can be regarded as two adjacent "prefecture-level cities", both of which belong to the "province" of Fengxi field.

  The Huoyoudi United Tower is the administrative center of Huoyoudi.

  As the ruler of the United Tower, Master Bernoulli Da'ao is undoubtedly the top figure in power in Huoyou Land. It is only logical that the Black Snake family is so fawning on Master Bernoulli's Tower.

   "If Cuihai Valley is pacified in the future, maybe Master Bernoulli will be canonized as Baron Cuihai, or even Viscount Cuihai." The person in charge of James Farm said enviously, "Cuihai Valley has spiritual mines, and this new family will be stronger than the Black Snake family."

  Duke replied realistically: "What does it have to do with us?"

   "Why doesn't it matter? Once Cuihai Town is established, it will urgently need a lot of manpower. This might be your chance!"

   "Well, maybe you can go to Cuihai Town to buy a farm and run it yourself."

   "Haha, what are you talking about, Boss Little Duke." Speaking of this, the person in charge of James Farm suddenly laughed, "I work very well at James Farm, but I don't think about those messy things. Running the farm by myself is too risky, and my heart can't bear it."

  The person in charge of James Farm is just an ordinary person, and he has never opened Sanhai.

  In this world, in this era, it is too difficult for ordinary people to get to the top. No matter how smart they are, they still have to attach themselves to the strong of the Three Seas.

   Didn't talk too much.

  When the person in charge of James Farm led the team to leave, Duke also packed up his things, carried a big bag with a sword, and went to adventure in the forest.

  It is already summer, and the plants in the forest are growing wildly.

  The original roads are all re-occupied by plants. If it weren't for Xiaoyi's super image comparison and analysis ability, it would be easy to get lost in the forest.

  He advertised to the outside world, and he just walked around in the nearby bushes.

  In fact, every time I cross the Snake Pan River, I will explore deeper into the forest, and use the "Rainfall Breathing Method" to find spiritual plants.

  The effect is not bad, you can find a 0-ring spiritual plant every now and then.

  However, 1-ring spiritual plants are hard to find. So far, only one 1-ring monkey earring has been found. As for 2-ring and 3-ring spiritual plants, there is basically no hope of finding them.

the reason is simple.

  Spiritual particles are scarce in most environments in the wild, which cannot afford the needs of spiritual plant evolution. Level 1 is already the limit of evolution.

   Only when you get close to the spiritual spring, more spiritual particles will escape in the surrounding environment, and plants will have a little more chance of evolving to the 2nd and 3rd rings.

but.

  Places with spiritual springs have either been opened up by humans as cities and market towns, or occupied by high-level spirit beasts, and it is not easy for Duke to set foot there.

   "Today's harvest is empty... No wonder hunters in Snake Head Town rarely explore south. Compared with the abundant resources in the west, the south is really shabby." When Duke returned, he couldn't help but sigh.

  That is to say, he has Xiaoyi's breathing method of hanging up the phone all the time, so that he can occasionally find a 0-ring spiritual plant.

  Ordinary hunters, or spirit plant envoys, it is impossible to cast spells all the time, it is really difficult to find Ling Zhi.

  Cross the Shepan River and pass through a section of bushes.

   Soon entered the territory of Xiaohewan Farm, and now the farms here have been sold or leased out, and a large number of crops have been planted.

   Of course, the Physalis Blood Spirit Fruit is the most popular, with a greenish purple color, which looks a bit dull.

   Instead of taking the main road, Duke habitually took the small road back to his farm. It's not that the small road is closer, but that the main road is easy to encounter mercenaries.

  Some mercenaries saw that he was young and handsome, and they looked a little unfriendly.

  Duke was afraid that he couldn't help it, so he drew his gun and killed these mercenaries.

   But this time he found that there were actually two mercenaries wandering around the path, they were wandering instead of rushing, looking around while walking, giving people the feeling that they were stepping on the spot.

   Waiting for Duke to pass by them.

  Obviously felt the eyes of the two mercenaries, they communicated with each other, and when Duke turned his head, they turned their heads deliberately so as not to meet Duke's eyes.

"has a problem!"

  Duke quickly returned to the villa.

  Then went to the attic on the third floor, realized the Sand Eagle pistol, and used the scope to observe the mercenaries still wandering in the distance.

  The two mercenaries stopped and stopped on the small road until the evening before disappearing on the main road in a hurry.

   "There is a problem, there is definitely a problem, these two mercenaries are stepping on the spot!" Duke is keenly aware of the problem, "Either someone wants to rob my farm, or...the wolf pack mercenaries are determined to take revenge on me."

   There is only one pack of wolves who has had trouble with him.

   Waiting until the next day, Duke deliberately observed the surroundings of the farm. The Sand Eagle's scope was used as a telescope, which made it easy for him to observe that the two mercenaries from yesterday had come again.

   This time, I switched to another trail.

  From morning to night, I basically explored all the paths around Little Duke's farm.

   "It can't be wrong, this is aimed at me... It's the wolves!" Although Duke didn't have clear evidence, he clarified the other party's purpose.

   But he trusted his own judgment.

   When the two mercenaries were about to leave in the evening, he took a few 1-ring arcane cards and followed them quietly.

  With the scope of the Sand Eagle, it is enough to decorate two people far away.

  In the summer evening, it was not getting dark quickly, so Duke followed the two mercenaries, turned from the main road to a strange path, and then walked all the way east.

   "It's out of town." It was already dark, and Duke wasn't afraid at all.

  On the contrary, he already felt a little passionate in his heart, and the low-key life needed to vent, and the sand eagle in his hand was his vent.

   It's getting farther and farther away from the town.

  The moon rose quietly, Duke quickened his pace to prevent losing the mercenaries in front, and walked all the way to the bushes to the east of the town.

   Then I saw torches and fire piles, which turned out to be a small campsite.
