The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 335 Preparations Before Departure

"Oh! Right! There are also array stones!" Vasita ran towards the foot of the cliff in the valley.

"That's no longer working!" Moran said quickly.

It was made with substandard ore to begin with, and it's already at its limit to last until these last few days.

The magic circle had failed, and the magical energy within the ore had long been exhausted.

"Even if it's no longer effective, it used to be a magic mine! When I left, the wooden fences along the farmland were all eaten up, so what's this!"

Vasita didn't care at all; she dug out every single one and fed it to her devouring stomach.

"Alright! This time it's completely clean."

Moran exclaimed in amazement, "Even the academy's reset technique is no match for yours!"

Vasida patted her swallowing stomach: "Nurturing a stomach isn't easy, how can we not be a little frugal!"

"If you don't want the red-eyed bird's body later, I'll let it eat it too!"

Moran and the others had no objections.

The wings of the red-eyed bird are an absolute delicacy, but even dogs won't eat its body!
This is not just empty talk.

“Let’s do it the same way as last time! I’ll be the bait, and you guys are in charge of collecting the bodies!” Moran said.

Even a year later, none of the five of them, including Vasita, dared to say that they could accurately shoot down several Red-Eyed Birds with a single spell while flying.

Therefore, they were all very self-aware and had no intention of rushing to be bait.

However, Alba said, "We can basically handle the dangers in the mountains on our own now. We don't need to team up this time to collect the corpses, right?"

“I’m fine,” Ais replied.

The other little witches: "We're fine too."

Moran said hesitantly, "Well... I went to check before. There are more adult birds in this batch, but only about a hundred. I should be able to get them in two trips."

How about we all go together this time?

"A hundred? Twice?" Cheryl's eyes darted around. "Golden Arrow Technique is advanced now?"

Moran nodded slightly.

The little witches: "..."

*
In the dark-leaved forest, the chicks left behind have become a protective shield for the colony, and a new batch of chicks are now eagerly awaiting their feeding.

Moran rode his broomstick and swaggered into the woods, rampaging through the forest and drawing a large wave of hatred.

The fledglings that had just learned to fly almost flapped their wings and chased after it, but were driven back by the adult birds.

Moran led a large flock of red-eyed birds away from the dark leaf forest.

Upon reaching the place where Vasita and the others were waiting, she turned halfway around and released fifty golden arrows with a golden arrow spell.

Every arrow hit its mark, and the flock of red-eyed birds was reduced by half in an instant.

After their initial surprise, Vasita and the others quickly picked them up.

Before this batch was even finished being collected, Moran circled around and lured the flock of red-eyed birds back, while simultaneously increasing the distance between them, before unleashing another Golden Arrow spell.

Suddenly, only about ten red-eyed birds were left alive.

With just a dozen or so red-eyed birds, Moran didn't even need to accelerate to create distance; he simply released a dozen or so arrows at an even faster speed.

The remaining red-eyed bird was less than three meters away from her, and it looked like it was about to catch her, but the next moment it was shot in the head with an arrow and fell into the forest.

This time, Vasita and the others refused to share the bird wings: "Don't think we didn't see it. You could take them all down by yourself! You didn't need us at all!"

Indeed, it was true. Even with her own three layers of protective magic—Tree Skin, Stone Skin, and Golden Armor—ordinary beasts could no longer break through them. However, she thought, "My 100-cubic-meter spatial ring isn't enough to hold all these wings! It's such a waste to waste such delicious food!"

The items inside the spatial ring cannot be reduced in size using shrinking magic.

This 100-cubic-meter space can't actually hold too much stuff.

"You can't fit it all in, and even if we shrink it down, we still can't take it all with us."

In the end, they managed to fill the remaining space in Moran's spatial ring before dividing the remaining wings equally.

What can't be contained will serve as today's lunch.

Of course, they also didn't forget to collect some sap from the black-leaved tree.

The other little witches used freezing magic to preserve the red-eyed bird wings, but Moran marinated and roasted them all on the spot, storing them all in her spatial ring at the perfect moment.

The spatial ring contains a combination of space-time freeze runes, ensuring that anything placed inside will remain in the state it was in at the time of placement.

When she wants to eat it, she just takes it out and eats it; it tastes just like it was freshly baked.

In the afternoon, Moran and the others dispersed into the mountains and forests to hunt some wild animals.

Moran also processed them into finished food products and preserved them.

Her spatial ring basically became a space for storing food.

The outer areas with monsters are even more dangerous. Moran doesn't know if he will still have the chance to cook complex food in the wild then. These are preparations for such extreme environments.

Of course, this amount of food would not be enough to last a year.

However, many magical beasts are also very delicious ingredients, and can even be used to cook magical dishes that have beneficial effects on the body.

If the environment is relatively safe, just use the ingredients you have on hand to make some fresh food.

It's best to avoid using cards if possible. Whether Kaku's magic cards can be upgraded again before graduation depends entirely on whether her magic level can break through to a new level.

That evening, Moran and her group set off along the underground river route towards the core area.

The next morning, they arrived at the entrance to the lowest point of the underground river.

After sleeping for a few hours, they changed into the clothes prepared for the entrance ceremony and jumped into the underground river.

This time, Ais and the others didn't ask Moran for help.

They had all crammed on water shield spells, so even if their water magic talent wasn't great, they could still create a water shield bubble to cover their heads.

It was exactly noon when the little witches emerged from Moon Lake.

At this moment, the dormitories of the third-year witches and the residences of the fourth-year witches were all reset.

When Moran and the others left their residence, they were prepared not to go back, so they didn't feel sad at the moment.

“It’s still early, let’s go to the breadfruit orchard!” Vasita said.

She not only wanted to take this opportunity to completely fill her stomach until it could no longer eat anything, but also to store as much bread and fruit cake as possible.

Once she enters the outer area, she probably won't be able to focus on planting anymore. She might be able to endure going hungry, but her stomach won't be able to handle it.

The other little witches shared the same idea.

Ais also has some new cooking ideas: "I brought some beef and I'm going to make some breadfruit and beef sandwiches from the 'How to Eat Breadfruit' recipe."

It's said that pairing breadfruit pulp with beef makes you feel fuller!

"Really?" Vasita had no idea. "I should have prepared some beef too!"
