Chapter 532 Picking Grapes

The two scroll kings died, and the monster was quickly dealt with.

Before the opponent could even unleash his ultimate move while on the verge of death, Lin Duo sent him to his death with a single blow!
The earth trembled again after the monster's massive body fell to the ground.

Alex skillfully moved over and began disassembling the monster.

They can use knives, or they can use their own elemental abilities.

Alex's elemental abilities are not suitable for dismembering the corpses of magical beasts.

However, he still had a full range of tools.

Alex, who had already drawn his knife, noticed Lin Duo striding towards Sheng Jiu. After thinking for a moment, he put the knife back.

It was only then that he realized...

Hey?
By the way, what was that loud noise just now?

While they were fighting, Sheng Jiu remained vigilant about his surroundings.

Perhaps because the scout had stopped, the invisible magical beasts did not attack in groups. After that, everything was calm. Sheng Jiu was tense for a long time, but all he saw was the loud sound of a magical beast falling not far away.

ended.

This made Sheng Jiu secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Duo was still worried, so he hurried over.

Having just finished a high-intensity battle, Lin Duo's breathing hadn't caught up yet, and he spoke with obvious heavy panting: "Is it still safe?"

Sheng Jiu nodded: "No more magical beasts came after that."

Alex arrived later, also panting. Before speaking, he looked at Lin Duo, then at Sheng Jiu, and asked in confusion, "What magical beast? Didn't we kill the magical beast?"

Sheng Jiu briefly explained the situation to him.

After listening, Alex hissed softly, "A demon spirit, huh? That's a bit troublesome."

Sheng Jiu:?
Doesn't that sound a bit like something from the mortal world?

However, the other party was indeed just a magical beast, and not a species that had anything to do with the profession of necromancer.

"A creature similar to a snow wolf, but only slightly larger than a rat. It's not strong in combat, but it always fights in groups, which is very annoying."

"Most importantly, I don't have anything valuable on me. My bones are barely useful, but they're only something that low-level alchemists would collect when they have nothing else to do and tinker with.

……

Alex had something to say about this kind of monster; he would avoid it whenever he encountered it.

It's useless and just a waste of energy.

After listening, Sheng Jiu nodded, indicating that he understood.

The monsters blocking their path have been dealt with, so now they can pick grapes in peace.

It turns out...

Good ingredients aren't so easy to come by, are they?

As soon as Sheng Jiu and his group arrived at the location, they encountered a swarm of snakes.

Sheng Jiu:......

She didn't know what to say.

She just wanted to pick some grapes, why is it so difficult?

However, considering that such delicious food is rare, it seems normal for the process to be a bit difficult.

Oh, by the way, these grapes are rather sour and can't really be considered delicious.

All I can say is that the effects are pretty good.

Otherwise, who would be willing to go through all this trouble?

The snakes weren't really a problem, or rather, they weren't even considered magical beasts.

They are just ordinary snakes, only a bit more troublesome.

Alex and Lin Duo unleashed a barrage of fire, and the snakes either fled or burned.

The scene was cleared in just over ten minutes.

Although there were still some slightly charred corpses, Lin Duo quickly cleaned them up, fearing that Sheng Jiu might find them disgusting or frightening.

Alex, seeing this, followed suit.

The two of them worked together and cleared the area in less than five minutes, leaving no trace of any animals that had visited before.

Of course, the charred areas cannot be repaired for the time being.

However, Sheng Jiu didn't think it was a big deal that the grapes weren't burned.

After surviving monsters and swarms of snakes, the three finally managed to pick the grapes. Because these grapes didn't taste very good, Sheng Jiu unusually refrained from eating them as she picked them.

However, while the grapes themselves don't taste particularly good, they are incredibly tempting when picked, with a fresh, grassy flavor and a hint of sweet fruitiness.

Although it smells sweet, it doesn't really taste sweet.

But I can't help it, it smells really good!

Sheng Jiu couldn't help but complain to the system: "This stuff feels more suitable for perfumery. This scent is very deceptive."

It can indeed be used for flavoring, and its effects are the same as when ingested, but consistency is key.

[After being processed into incense, this can be used for daily aromatherapy, and it's a great way to soothe the mind and body, especially for people who are feeling down.]

……

The system not only provides information itself, but also offers a lot of data.

Unfortunately, Sheng Jiu doesn't know how to blend perfumes.

Moreover, none of the people she knew had any talent in this field.

When Sheng Jiu was in college, she was quite frugal and never used perfumes.

The smell of soap powder and laundry detergent was on them.

perfume?

Occasionally, I'll spray a little bit of He Ling's.

However, Sheng Jiu was not willing to always take advantage of others; he would occasionally criticize them, but most of the time, he didn't.

After graduating from university, before I even had a chance to work, I took over the restaurant.

In the catering industry, it's not good to use incense while working.

In my spare time...

Sheng Jiu doesn't have any free time at the moment.

Therefore, there was no perfume either.

The spices were given by Yuan Xinghe, and we haven't used them yet.

Sheng Jiu didn't like her own scent overpowering or affecting the flavor of the ingredients.

So even if there are spices and an incense burner, it's fine to place the incense burner there, and it's also fine to occasionally smell the spices through the box.

But, burning incense?
No, that's not the case.

Now, after hearing the system explain that these grapes can be used for flavoring, she was tempted.

However, since there was really no one she could ask for help professionally, she temporarily gave up on the idea.

Besides, she doesn't need them, so she doesn't care.

Let's eat first.

Moreover, eating can also be considered a form of psychotherapy, right?

The three of them picked all the grapes in the area.

Of course, only pick the ripe ones.

At the same time, Sheng Jiu also had Lin Duo dig up a plant and had the system collect it.

Although it wasn't the first time Alex had witnessed Sheng Jiu display his extraordinary abilities, he still found it quite amazing.

I just don't know how they did it.

Magic scroll?

It doesn't even look like it.

However, the magicians he could come into contact with were not particularly powerful.

Therefore, Alex had never seen such profound scrolls before, so he naturally didn't know whether those high-class scrolls were truly so magical as to be like gods descending to earth.

Alex wasn't particularly curious, and he even felt proud that his savior possessed extraordinary abilities.

So, who cares?

Having picked the grapes, Sheng Jiu had no intention of taking any more risks.

After all that fuss, it was time for them to go back for lunch.

As a result, before the person even left, they heard a new notification from the system.

There's a mine down there...
