Above the mage!

Chapter 310 Encounter
Due to the randomness of astral teleportation, Gaode had made early guesses and mental preparations about the "birth point" he might randomly arrive at.

And the primitive mountains happened to be among the worst of the many situations he had imagined.

His main purpose of leaving the North through astral teleportation was to contact and establish connections with people from the outside world, thereby completing the exchange of resources between the North and the outside world and becoming a happy trader.

From this point of view, the best situation would definitely be to teleport to the vicinity of the town so that he could start his plan as quickly as possible - teleporting directly into the town would not be a good idea either, after all, there would suddenly be one more person in front of everyone, even if it could be understood as being caused by magic, it would be too conspicuous.

As for the original mountains, it's too bad.

First of all, it is well known that after the earth veins intersect, all undeveloped primitive mountains in this world are basically inhabited by various earth vein creatures.

Moreover, the larger the primitive mountain range, the more powerful the underground creatures there are, and the higher the risk factor.

Another thing is that the original mountains are too large and the area is vast.

Gao De was teleported here randomly, so he had no idea where this mountain range was or what it was called.

Not to mention knowing the detailed route planning and maps, that is completely wishful thinking.

Therefore, if Gao De wants to get out of this mountain range, the only feasible method he can think of at the moment is to choose a direction through the [Compass Technique] and walk forward blindly.

The problem is that if you are unlucky, you may not be able to get out of the mountains even after walking for three or four months.

However, things have come to this point, and if we must find some advantages from this terrible situation, it is not completely impossible.

As far as the eye can see, there are towering trees that reach into the sky. The lush branches and leaves are layered one after another, cutting the sky into tiny spots of light.

These are all large trees.

Where there are trees, there are seeds.

In such a wooded area, aren't all kinds of trees to be found everywhere and collected at will?

If we really can't get out of this primitive mountain range in the end, we can just collect a large number of tree species and send them back. This way, the trip will not be in vain and we will have completed half of our set goal.

Anyway, Yugatshira can accumulate enough energy for astral teleportation every two months.

The worst that could happen is that after four months, it would complete two more astral teleportation recharges and make another astral journey.

It’s just four months, there’s no rush. I’m just worried about what to do with my 190 years of life!

After some self-comforting Ah Q spirit, Gaode quickly adjusted his mentality.

The most important thing at the moment is not to get out of this primitive mountain range, but to be extremely alert and careful, and never put yourself in danger.

Although astral teleportation is magical, it is not instantaneous and requires about ten seconds to start up.

Therefore, if you really encounter immediate danger, it cannot be used as a last resort for escape.

Gode ​​opened his Mandela Magic Eye, and a faint light flashed in both of his eyes.

[Detect Magic+].

With the double blessing, he slowly turned his body, looked around with sharp eyes, and conducted a preliminary investigation of the environment.

After a moment, Goder confirmed that there were no wild beasts or earth creatures hidden around him, and no magical aura appeared.

He then let out a light breath, turned off the Mandela Magic Eye, ended the release of [Detect Magic+], and sat down on the ground to rest.

After all, the discomfort brought by the astral teleportation still haunted him like a thorn in his side.

After a short rest, the dizziness in his head finally subsided completely. Gao De then slowly stood up and prepared to take action.

He looked calm, silently activating the spell model in his mind.

In a flash, accompanied by a slight and imperceptible surge of magic power, a small and exquisite compass-like light and shadow appeared out of thin air in front of him.

After a quick swing, the needle on the compass pointed steadily in one direction.

north.

【The art of pointing north】.

Now that we know the north, the remaining three directions, east, west and east, will naturally be known.

He definitely couldn't go north, as he originally came from the northernmost part of this plane.

Gao De thought for a moment, and finally headed south, which was completely opposite to the north.

And Mandela's Eye had silently opened again.

Of course, only the most basic farsightedness ability is enabled, which can ensure that dangers far away can be discovered in advance, and there is basically no consumption of mana - for a mage, distance often means damage, so the amount of advance vision is very important.

A towering tree rises from the ground, majestically standing tall. Its trunk is so thick that it would take several people to hug it together to measure it.

At the bottom of the tree, there is a huge tree hole, like a naturally formed dark cave, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, and has become the residence of the monster.
A wild boar monster with six sharp fangs and covered with coarse and messy black hair was moving at the entrance of the tree hole, using its fat nose to dig in the ground covered with corroded fallen leaves.

It rummaged through the fallen leaves and soil for the fresh roots and rhizomes that were hidden there, panting heavily.

Suddenly, it looked like it had discovered something and raised its head in confusion.

Just now, its peripheral vision seemed to see a figure among the scattered tree trunks?
But when it looked in the direction of the figure, what came into view was a silver-blue electric flash.

The electric light was as thin as a thread and as fast as lightning. It was obviously very bright and dazzling in the slightly dim forest.

The next moment the wild boar monster saw it, the silver-white electric light had already appeared across the sky.

It was also at this time that the wild boar monster realized that the seemingly electric flash was actually not real.

Because along with the light came a bone-chilling chill that made all the pores on its body stand up, like the harshest wind in winter.

laugh!
With a muffled sound, the extremely sharp electric light pierced directly into the seemingly rough and tough skin of the wild boar monster with unstoppable force.

But before the warm blood could splash out, accompanied by a slight sound of ice crystals bursting, a ball of fierce cold air erupted at the point of contact.

The fierce cold current directly froze the blood that was about to burst out and spread rapidly.

Bright rays of ice appeared in the air.

The wild boar monster at the center of the cold wave was covered with a layer of frost.

The cold current flowed along the wound, directly invaded its blood, and then eroded its internal organs.

The fragile internal organs could not withstand such stimulation and damage and lost their ability to function in an instant.

Therefore, this seemingly ferocious wild boar monster couldn't even make an angry roar to show its strength and ferocity before it turned into an ice sculpture and died.

"I seem to have underestimated the power of the Frozen Blade."

Gao De walked out of the dense forest and looked at the corpse of the wild boar monster which was as big as a calf, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although I am very familiar with the specific values ​​of the Frozen Blade's attack power, it is only a theory after all, and I have not personally felt its damage.

Therefore, after seeing the wild boar monster from afar through the Mandela Magic Eye and using his [Insight] ability to confirm that the energy fluctuations on its body were not that strong, Gode took action and directly used his only attack spell [Frozen Blade+] to try out his skill.

However, he didn't expect it to be so powerful. With just one spell, the wild boar monster was killed instantly.

Gao De focused his attention and looked at Feng Ling Yueying.

Origin: 1st ring--[Black-maned Boar].

Yes, this wild boar monster is actually a first-ring earth creature. It is so vulnerable in front of [Frozen Blade+].

Although God used the [Insight] ability of the third-level Mandela Magic Eye to construct a model of the black-maned boar and observed the weakest point of its body energy flow, which was its weakest point, and hit its vital point directly, the power of [Frozen Blade +] itself was still unquestionable. 15 degrees of piercing damage and 32 degrees of cold damage, that was no joke.

Gao De cast [Detect Poison] and after confirming that the flesh and blood of the black-maned boar was not poisonous, he casually cut off the meat on its shoulder blade.

This piece of meat has a fine texture and evenly distributed fat. It tastes best when grilled.

Given the limited load, Gao De only took this piece of meat and didn't even bother to remove its six fangs - the energy flow contained in it was extremely high, and it was obviously the extraordinary material from the black-maned boar, which could be sold at a high price in the outside world.

While reluctantly giving up this priceless extraordinary material, Gao De observed the towering tree where the tree hole where the black-maned boar lived was located.

Verifying the power of [Frozen Blade+] was secondary; this towering tree was the main reason for him to take action.

Moss grows along the tree trunk like a carpet, and the vines are like its long hanging hair, winding down from great heights, some of which are still covered with crystal dewdrops.

But what Gao De really cared about was that on the branches, there were fruits that looked like walnuts hanging.

But compared to ordinary walnuts, their size is really ridiculous, almost as big as a person's fist, hanging heavily on the branches.

Although he didn't know what kind of tree this was, Gao De was almost certain that the fruit should be usable.

He had an idea in his mind, and using his magician's hand, he picked a fruit from the branches.

Peel off the hard shell and you can see the round kernel inside.

To be on the safe side, Gao De used the [Toxicity Detection] to confirm that the nut kernel was non-toxic before he tentatively broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth.

——At this time, Goder missed Flora especially.

If Flora were here, there would be no need for him to pretend to be Shennong and taste hundreds of herbs.

However, this time on the astral journey, God did not bring Flora with him, but let her stay in Phoenix.

In Phoenix, whether it is the continued cultivation of Northwest Barley No. 1 or the tree planting project, she is needed to take charge.

Flora herself does not have the fighting ability, so having her by his side will not be of much help to him.

Taking these two points into consideration, Gaode finally chose to set out alone.

With a crunch, the nut is crispy in the mouth, with a little bit of milky aroma, which blends perfectly with the rich and mellow fruit wood aroma.

Gao De's eyes lit up instantly, and he no longer hesitated. He used the Mage's Hand again, and the invisible ghost hand shuttled among the branches and leaves.

In an instant, he picked seven or eight plump fruits with no obvious damage or pests.

Of course, he picked these fruits this time not to satisfy his appetite, but to keep them as tree seeds and prepare to take them back to Walar Bay for sowing.

Large trees that can bear edible fruits are not only of great significance in providing a slight growth benefit to Yggdrasil, but are also suitable for large-scale planting to enrich the food composition of Phoenix.

However, the fruits were so big that Gaode couldn't carry all of them, so he only picked seven or eight of the best-looking fruits.

Thinking of this, Gao De had already opened his backpack and put these seven or eight seeds and fruits into it.

In his bag, there were already fifty or sixty tree species of different sizes and shapes piled up.

These seeds are relatively small and are the results of Gaode’s battles during this period.

And less than an hour had passed since he arrived here, and he had already gained such a harvest.

"There are so many types of trees here that you can come across an unknown tree species every two steps you take." Gao De couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

His desire for new tree species is endless.

After all, Gode and Yugathira are already firmly bound together.

Yugathira is powerful, that is, he is powerful

So along the way, whenever Gaode saw a big tree he had never seen before, he would stop without hesitation and collect a certain number of tree species, preparing to take them back to Walar Bay for sowing.

But there are too many unknown tree species, and Gaode is a little overwhelmed.

"I always feel like something is not right." He vaguely discovered some problems.

Along the way, he saw very few earth creatures and wild beasts.

Normally speaking, when you are in such a vast primeval forest, not to mention seeing all kinds of ferocious beasts everywhere, you should at least encounter a few waves of them from time to time.

But now, this one-ringed black-maned boar is even the first beast that Gaode has seen in such a long time.

"Why doesn't this environment look like a primeval forest?" he murmured.

call!call!call!
Bud was panting and running as fast as he could in the mountains and forests.

He completely ignored the vines that grew across the area and the knee-high weeds. Every step he took was hurried and frantic, with a panic-stricken look of someone who had no idea where to go.

The fear on his face almost overflowed, and his eyes revealed extreme fear and panic.

Not far behind him was a gigantic spider emitting a faint green light.

Its body was as big as a carriage, and its eight long hairy legs were like thick iron pillars. Its two fist-sized eyes flashed with fierce and greedy light, and were fixed on Bard who was fleeing in front of it.

"How could we encounter underground creatures? Clearly the city's sentinels just patrolled here half a month ago!"

Bud couldn't help but shout wildly in his heart.

He went into the mountains to pick mushrooms.

This season is the growing season for oak.

Compared with ordinary fungi, the growth cycle of rubber fungus is as long as five or six years, so the annual output is extremely limited and the supply is scarce.

The oak mushroom itself has a natural, indescribable rich and fresh taste. It is very popular among the nobles in the city and can be sold at a high price.

However, the growing conditions of oak fungus are extremely harsh, and it will only grow under oak trees that are over a hundred years old.

In order to pick oak mushrooms, Bud had to venture into the deep mountains and forests.

But the reason why he dared to do so was that he had something to rely on - the sentinels in the city would patrol this mountain area regularly and eliminate any underground creatures they found.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, there will be no danger if you enter the forest within a month after the sentry's patrol.

This is Bud's experience. In the past two years, he went into the mountains to pick acorns at this time, and he was safe and sound and made a small profit.

This made him more hopeful.
Who would have thought that this year, my luck was not with me and I happened to encounter such a terrifying demon spider.

Feeling his strength rapidly draining away, Bud became more and more desperate.

suddenly!

Before he could react, a living person suddenly jumped out from the gap between the trees in front of him.

"Who?!"

Bud was almost frightened to death. The tense breath that had been keeping him running was hit hard by this sudden scene, and it was instantly released.
He felt his legs go weak and he almost collapsed to the ground. His mind went blank, with only one thought echoing wildly: "It's over, it's over this time."

When he was sure that he was going to die here, Bud's eyes subconsciously fell on the living person in front of him.

He is a very young boy.

The strange thing was that when the other party looked at him, there was no trace of panic from the underground monster in his eyes, but instead there was an inexplicable surprise? !
The look in his eyes was so bright as if he had discovered some treasure?
Where is the treasure? It can’t be me, right?
