Chapter 68 The Burnt Pot

Mondstadt, Lookout Mountain.

There was still a grass field on the slope. A little further ahead there was a fault, and below that was also a grass field, with a broken gray stone wall standing on top.

A little black smoke rose from it, carrying a burnt smell.

"Did someone burn something? Let's go down and take a look."

Li Qiuzhi cooks frequently and is quite familiar with these flavors.

"Good, good."

Standing high on the fault, the wing-like cloak behind Sugar fluttered gently in the mountain breeze.

She leaped forward lightly, and simple wind wings suddenly appeared and spread out like a gliding bird.

The long green hair tied up behind her head was caught up in the oncoming air current, fluttering and slowly flying towards the broken stone wall.

Li Qiuzhi has not yet learned the Wings of Wind, so it is not so convenient for him to go down.

He used the vertical wall of the mountain fault to cushion his landing, jumped down easily, and then jogged to catch up with Miss Sugar.

Sugar spread her arms to maintain her balance, and her legs wrapped in over-the-knee suspender stockings stepped slowly and naturally and relaxedly onto the grass. They walked into the ruins of the broken walls with curiosity.

On the grass-colored ground, a paralyzed relic guard was lying on the ground, and on its body sat a red-faced girl, the most eye-catching thing about her was the bunny ears on her head.

Her long dark brown hair fell down her back, completely covering the red hood on her clothes.

In front of the girl were three wooden sticks tied together at the top and slightly separated at the bottom, with an iron pot hanging in the middle.

A black, paste-like unknown object was boiling in it, and thick black gas was coming out from the edge, followed by a choking smell.

""Amber!?""

Li Qiuzhi and Shatang shouted in confusion at the same time, and then looked at each other.

Sucrose also serves in the Knights Templar, so it is natural for her to know Amber.

"Eh?"

Sucrose was a little surprised and looked at the young adventurer beside her. It seemed that he was no stranger to Amber.

When the girl in red heard the voice, her shoulders suddenly shook, and the bunny ears on her head also trembled.

Amber turned her head stiffly, her fair face looking slightly embarrassed, as if her little secret had been discovered.

She stood up slightly, put her hands holding the long chopsticks behind her back, and tried her best to hide the boiler behind her with her body.

Yet the black smoke rising vertically overhead and the burning firewood glimpsed between my feet were both so eye-catching.

"It's you, why are you here?"

Amber asked the question but her eyes wandered to the side. It was obvious that she was still thinking about her little secret being discovered by her friend.

"Ah, we came out to collect materials, and suddenly we were..." Sugar said hesitantly in a weaker voice, glancing at the black smoke rising behind Amber.

Her fingers were poking at each other restlessly, and she lowered her head, suddenly not knowing whether she should say it or not.

".Well, we could smell the smell of burning food from dozens of meters away." Li Qiuzhi tried to be more tactful. "Also, if you keep boiling your pot, it will probably be unusable."

"W-what!"

Amber's eyes widened, and it was unclear whether she was surprised by the first sentence or the second sentence. Then, Amber shrugged her pale face dejectedly, sat back on the paralyzed ruins guard, and finally said helplessly: "You all found out."

It's so obvious, it's hard not to notice, Li Qiuzhi thought secretly.

Amber is not good at cooking. Everyone who has performed missions with her knows it. Um, adventurers who have met her in the wild also know it.

Just like Li Qiuzhi and the others now.

After all, the burnt black smoke can be used as a signal fire.

"By the way, Amber, are you here on patrol?"

Li Qiuzhi and Shatang helped Amber extinguish the burning firewood under the pot, and used the water Amber carried with her to clean the burnt iron pot.

The thing inside could still be barely seen as a piece of meat.

"You know, didn't the wild animals in Wangfeng Mountain suddenly become rampant some time ago?"

Amber put the thing back into the Eye of God, and soon returned to her enthusiastic look.

"Um, that was more than a month ago."

At that time, the hunter leader Duraf took Li Qiuzhi to hunt in the Lookout Mountains and Whispering Forest areas.

“Well, after discovering this situation, the Knights went to investigate and eventually found that the reason was that there was a location in Wangfeng Mountain where the energy of the earth veins overflowed, causing the nearby plants to grow abnormally lushly.

"With sufficient food, many wild beasts naturally came here. After we temporarily solved the problem of the overflow of earth vein energy, the Knights suggested that hunters come here to hunt, and the problem of wild beasts infestation was gradually solved."

Amber sat on the rusty steel body, her legs stretched out in tight white over-the-knee boots, the metal soles of her high heels reflecting rays of light.

She leaned forward slightly, her dark brown-gloved hands resting on her knees, stroking them idly.

"I see. Now that it's been resolved, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Li Qiuzhi and Shatang also found a place to sit on the paralyzed ruins guard to avoid sitting on the grass-covered ground and getting their clothes wet by the dew.

"Well, it should have been like this. However, a fellow Knight discovered yesterday that a blue vein of flowers had sprouted there, attracting many monsters. It seems that the problem was not solved thoroughly before."

Amber put her legs together and bent her knees slightly, revealing some wrinkles in her white boots. She touched her calves and said.

"Is the blue earth vein flower the kind that can enhance one's strength by absorbing its energy, the earth vein flower called 'Revelation'?!"

Sugar pressed her left hand on the rusty steel and leaned slightly to the side, looking at Amber with shining eyes and spoke excitedly.

If the energy of a certain ground vein overflows, it is very likely that rare ground vein flowers will emerge. Generally, there are two types. One is the gold flower that looks like golden mist.

The buds of this flower will produce Mora after blooming, which is very strange.

The other is the blue flower of revelation, which releases magical energy without side effects that can be absorbed by people, strengthening the body and improving strength.

As an alchemist specializing in "bioalchemy", how could he not be interested in this magical plant!

Is the Geocentric Flower a pure energy body, or does it have genetic properties? If so, can it be grafted onto other plants? Will those plants become Geocentric Flowers?
Sugar was extremely curious.

"Yes, that's the kind. If you want to see it, Sugar, we can go there together."

Amber smiled on her fair face, and the bunny-ear knot on her head swayed slightly in the mountain breeze.
