Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 180 Searching for a Supply Point

As they passed through the last stretch of rolling clouds, the outline of the entire new continent suddenly became clear. They saw vast expanses of dense and lush primeval forests. The sun shone on the earth, covering it with a colorful coat.

Tall and sturdy trees rise from the ground, their green leaves showing vitality. There are also areas with large expanses of azure or fluorescent green water. There is also a large area of black fog in the southeast. Through the fog, you can vaguely see the black forest covered with scaly bark below.

Ning Xuan stretched out her vines and brushed across the treetops. Giant ferns a hundred meters high trembled like living things. Pearl-like dewdrops condensed on their umbrella-shaped leaves, exploding into ice crystals in the air waves.

The moment the protective barrier collided with a towering giant cedar, the barrier was bounced back by the force.

Ning Xuan saw the bark of the giant sequoia suddenly crack, revealing the amber-colored gum inside. The gum glowed metallically in the moonlight, and in a blink of an eye it returned to the appearance of ordinary bark.

The branches and leaves were dense. Qinghe controlled the metal blade to cut off a few drooping branches. What spurted out from the cross-section of the branches was not juice, but a cloud of fluorescent spores, outlining a strange green trajectory.

Ning Xuan felt her brain a little excited. These green fluorescent spores, some mutated plants of unknown level, could actually have an impact on mental strength.

"Stop cutting, these spores are poisonous. Hold your breath and leave here." Ning Xuan pulled back the vines. Di Youlin spread his wings and flew in the air. Ning Xuan hugged his neck and sat on his back.

Ning Xuan gave the order and everyone else obeyed silently. They each used their own methods to move away from the green mist and landed in a nearby area. The climate in this area was pleasant and the air was very humid. There was no telling what substances were contained in the air, but it was very comfortable to breathe.

Walking under the tall trees, the ground was blocked by the trees and could not be illuminated by the sun. The ground was wet and sticky. Qinghe, who was walking in the front, suddenly frowned and said, "Something is approaching us."

There was a slight vibration from the ground, and Ning Xuan seemed to hear the rustling sound of plant roots rubbing against each other.

As the sticky soil beneath their feet surged, countless fine, earth-brown roots surged out from the ground. Large areas of the ground collapsed, and countless roots broke out of the ground. Those roots woven into a web like living things and pounced towards everyone.

Qinghe held the sharp blade that had changed its shape and pointed it in the direction where the roots were coming. This sharp blade was his natal scale armor and could change into any shape as he wished.

Qinghe's figure moved as fast as a ray of light, cutting the roots into pieces. Yun Han waved his hand, and a white light came out of his hand. The white light was extinguished, and the pieces of earth-brown roots disappeared instantly.

The two of them worked together and quickly cleared out the roots.

At this moment, the surrounding tree trunks suddenly cracked into countless tiny cracks, and many fluorescent spores gushed out, covering the entire area in a hazy green mist.

"Hold your breath!" Ning Xuan's voice came from the fog, "Leave here."

"Everyone follow me." Zhang Nan took the lead and walked to the left.

In this unfamiliar environment, they chose to trust Zhang Nan's judgment. Zhang Nan looked up at the sky obscured by the treetops, and a breeze condensed from his fingertips. The air swirled upward, carrying down a few phosphorescent leaves. He closed his eyes, analyzed the situation for a moment, and then continued to the left.

Zhang Nan's companion spirit is a golden chinchilla, which has a very keen perception of the natural environment, especially the underground environment. Under his guidance, Ning Xuan and others quickly left the area.

After leaving the dangerous area, the terrain became flat and open. Although there were still towering trees around, these trees were obviously tall and straight, and there were relatively wide distances between the trees. The road conditions here were much better than before.

Wang Yue pulled out a lot of scattered materials from his backpack. After some assembly, a four-wheeled mechanical vehicle with a roof, about four or five meters long and two meters wide, appeared before everyone. Wang Teng also took out a lot of parts from his backpack and assembled a large cannon barrel to install on the front of the mechanical vehicle. "This mobile single-shot cannon can fire energy cannons, laser cannons, and also physical damage weapons such as nails and steel needles. It's powerful and quiet, and very practical."

Wang Yue was the driver in the cab, Wang Teng was sitting behind the gunner, responsible for operating the mobile single-shot cannon, and the others chose their positions.

"Our first priority now is to find the supply points or safe zones established by the military," Ning Xuan said.

"I agree, Master. Just now when I was looking down from mid-air, I saw a large lake in the northeast direction. We can look there." Lin Mo suggested.

During the jump process, solid food may still be preserved, but liquid water cannot be carried and stored at all. Even if they do not look for supply points, they must first find drinkable water sources.

"Let's go, head northeast, pay attention to the surrounding environment, and check if there are any signs of human activities. Check if there are any edible animals, plants or fruits, and also check if there are any resources that can be collected." Ning Xuan ordered.

"Lan Xin, Chen Nan, and Zhang Nan, the three of you will be responsible for drawing the topographic map, tree conditions, and vegetation structure. You must keep adding to it as we go through the areas later. If we are undecided, we will discuss it together. We must ensure that we can draw detailed maps for every area we visit." Ning Xuan instructed Lan Xin, Zhang Nan, and Chen Nan.

The three of them agreed and immediately took out paper and pen to draw a map. This was a task that had been assigned before they set out, and the three of them were well prepared.

Wang Yue drove the mechanical vehicle toward the northeast for about three hours. During these three hours, they hunted three strange beasts that were more than two meters tall and looked like deer, collected three strange plants with rich energy, picked more than a dozen non-toxic and edible wild fruits, and found a huge beehive.

The three deer-shaped beasts, each more than two meters tall, were named "Crystal-Horned Deer" by Ning Xuan because of their crystal-like horns.

Their horns reflect a crystal-like luster under the sunlight and can conduct energy. They are relatively precious energy conductor materials and can be used in many mechanical manufacturing and equipment refining applications.

After walking for more than three hours, they came to a clear stream surrounded by large soft grasslands. In order to replenish their energy, Ning Xuan decided to stay here and rest.

"Master, the meat of this crystal-horned deer is very delicate and flexible, and it has a light pine aroma when roasted. It must taste very good." Jiuwei said as he dissected the deer corpse. The knife in his hand accurately peeled the skin and separated the tendons.

After Ning Xuan decided to let Jiuwei join the joint examination team, she asked Jiuwei to intensively study subjects such as species analysis.
