The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 284 Gibbons
Gibbons are not as intelligent as giant apes, but through the latter's long-term teaching and training, they have gained some experience in seeking advantage and avoiding harm.

When Moran looked down at them, their grumbling turned into whispering and arguing about how to respond.

But where is the white-haired giant ape, the leader of this group of apes?

Moran continued to use the Origin Tracing Technique to explore the past experiences of the remaining gibbons.

From a strong, middle-aged ape, one obtains a white-haired giant ape leading a group of apes, carrying a batch of freshly picked peaches, and entering a dense wall of trees.

This robust adult ape was one of the people helping to pack the peaches, so it witnessed that scene.

Moran knew that tree wall all too well!
It's just a hedge, isn't it?
The boundary between the core area and the inner perimeter area is a hedge wall!

However, the white-haired giant ape went to a place that was clearly not the boundary between the inner and core areas. This place was obviously a mountainous forest area, belonging to the beast forest of the inner area, which was separated from the core area by four dangerous places. Beasts could not cross the hedge wall to go to the core area.

Then there's only one answer: it's a hedge that leads to the outer area!
The outer area is inhabited by monsters!

That's not a place she can go right now!
Moran remembered the location and direction of the hedge wall in the image fed back by the Source Tracing Technique.

As the gibbons bowed and offered her freshly picked peaches and a small bucket of fruit wine, crying out and begging her to spare their companions.

She used levitation to float the small bucket of fruit wine over and collect it, then untied the three monkeys and released them back into the troop.

The monkeys cried out in confusion, not understanding why she only released three monkeys.

Moran controlled the branch to whip it hard in the air, startling them, and then used the Water Mirror spell to show the apes the appearance of belladonna, daisy, and sap grass.

The basic water mirror technique can already be viewed as a simple projection technique.

Even the not-so-intelligent gibbons understood what she meant.

The monkeys whispered among themselves for a while, then left a few to watch over her while the rest disappeared into the woods to find materials for her.

When Moran used the Tracing Technique to investigate the ape's past experiences, he saw traces of these three magical plants.

They didn't bring their flying brooms, and their class time was only ten hours, limiting their exploration area. However, the dean obviously wouldn't assign impossible tasks. These three magical plants must be around the location where they teleported, but it would take some effort to find them.

Originally, she would have needed to find the plants based on their preferred environments, or by finding century-old trees and asking for directions using the Tree Friend Technique, or by trying her luck with the Luck Technique, or by asking wild beasts using the Mind-Communicating Technique.

Now, with a single traceability technique, she has put these apes to use, asking them to find materials to pay the ransom.

So what if I haven't learned mind magic or can't use telepathy? I can still make the monkeys obey me.

Half an hour later, the monkeys returned with the materials she needed.

After Moran put away the materials, he released the remaining monkeys back into the wild.

Once the monkeys had rescued their companion, they bowed to her and quickly fled, not daring to displease her again.

Moran also learned about the habits of these apes through the Origin Tracing Technique, and they would never dare to offend her again.

This peach orchard was the territory of these monkeys. Since they were far away, there was naturally no other danger. Moran simply started processing the materials on the spot.

First, refine all the ingredients into plant essences and package them separately. Then, use belladonna essence, daisy stamen essence, and sapwort juice essence to concoct a recovery potion. When the recovery potion was successfully concocted, the portal appeared beside Moran.

“I’m not going back now!” Moran said.

From the footage of the monkeys' experiences over the past day, she saw that Quillin's residence was right outside this peach grove.

Although the areas explored during class won't be shown on the map, she can ask Senior Quillin where this is in the inner area!

Anyway, she completed her task very smoothly today, and it's only been an hour since class started!

The portal disappeared when she refused to go back.

Moran headed in the direction of where Senior Quillin's residence was located, which she had discovered.

When the other little witches entered the inner area, they were all teleported to the beast's side and attacked before they could even stand still.

Although they weren't powerful beasts, they still caused them quite a bit of trouble.

Some unprepared little witches were seriously injured on the spot and ended up lying on the magic waterbed.

Before her injuries had even healed, Moran saw on her monitor that the monkey had delivered a large amount of potion ingredients, and the recovery potion was successfully crafted in no time.

A little while later, several new little witches who had been rescued and were healing were placed on the magic waterbed, while Moran was already sitting on the swing in front of Senior Sister Quillin's house, eating the fruit platter and desserts prepared by her senior sister and chatting with her.

Ais was incredibly envious when she saw this:
"We're fighting to the death with wild beasts, and Moran's gone to her senior's tea party? Waaah! Senior Quillin! I haven't seen her in so long!"

Her meat cooking lessons have been in jeopardy ever since the food distribution center stopped providing them with meat.

They can't even guarantee three meals a day with meat, let alone research and learn how to cook meat dishes.

Her quality of life plummeted, and she, who originally didn't value learning combat magic, had to cram at the last minute in order to obtain the meat she wanted.

Learning magic is not something that can be accomplished overnight, which resulted in her getting beaten up the most during every wilderness survival class, and she was the one who spent the most time lying on the magic waterbed.

Seeing her senior, Quillin, who also specializes in cooking magic, thriving in the inner area with a residence even more beautiful than her dormitory, she regretted not listening to her senior's advice in her second year to put aside her beloved cooking magic and instead practice her equally talented fire magic. As a result, she is now in a sorry state when fighting wild beasts.

After class, Ais immediately went to Moran and asked about where Senior Quillin lived.

"It's due east of the yellow sand, near the peach grove where the inner and outer areas meet," Moran said.

She learned a lot about where the senior students lived from Quillin.

Most of the female students chose to build their homes in the mountains and forests near Huangshadi because they often flew along Huangshadi's flight routes.

Although the academy often drives new wild beasts from the outer areas into the inner areas, the forests in this location are also safer because witches often live there.

Ais didn't know about the yellow sandy land, but she remembered the place.

Once she has mastered enough wind magic to deal with the beasts in the inner area, she will explore the inner area to find Senior Sister Quillin.

From now on, she will definitely listen to her senior's advice and prepare in advance!
