Chapter 527 - Tropical Rainforest
However, he didn"t expect that the forest of trees only existed in the area he had just pa.s.sed by,
As long as he continued walking forward, this annoying thing would disappear...
The entire forest returned to its calm state, and James finally felt at ease.
"Klein, is there only a few tree spirits in such a large forest? Why aren"t there any in other places?"
Klein reached out and touched his nose.
It wasn"t that easy to form a tree spirit. The few trees just now had gone through a thousand years of refinement before they could sense the movements around them and take the initiative to attack the incoming person.
The trees in other places didn"t have such a situation.
.
After hearing Klein"s words, James felt relieved and could finally happily search for construction materials.
The process of searching for materials was not a smooth one.
For example, according to what Klein said, choosing wood was the most crucial step in creating an aircraft.
It was definitely impossible to use ordinary wood. One had to find a mystical species called boxwood.
Boxwood?
James touched his chin. He knew very little about biology. Although he had heard of the existence of boxwood, he had never seen it with his own eyes.
It was said that this raw material grew for a thousand years, and only appeared once every two thousand years.
The wood was abnormally strong, like steel, and wouldn"t be easily damaged.
James sniffed. Such a precious tree couldn"t be found so easily, right?
But Klein firmly believed that not far from them, there was a boxwood tree that was more than a thousand years old.
Of course, wood was only one of the materials needed to make a high-alt.i.tude aircraft. There was also a large amount of other materials that needed to be collected as support,
Thankfully, the forest was rich in resources and had everything. Klein quickly gathered all the materials he needed,
However, he still didn"t see the mysterious boxwood.
James asked, "Klein, what if we can"t find it?"
It wasn"t easy to find a unique tree in this large forest.
James thought for a moment and said, "Besides, I"ve looked around the area, but there"s no boxwood like you mentioned."
Klein frowned slightly and suddenly remembered the place they had hurried past.
Could it be that the legendary boxwood existed among the spirits of the trees?
This was a little troublesome. Although Klein wasn"t weak, he didn"t want to deal with the endless annoying tree vines.
He looked around again, but he still couldn"t find any boxwood.
Klein couldn"t help but sigh. He helplessly expressed that they should go take a look. Perhaps the thing they were looking for was there.
But before that, Klein had to be fully prepared to deal with the unexpected attacks.
James had been hit by the vines, and he had a shadow in his heart.
He couldn"t help but tremble when he saw the moving trees.
Although he had some resistance in his heart, he couldn"t show it on the surface.
If word of this got out, he would have nowhere to put his face.
Klein took out the compa.s.s he carried and carefully identified the direction.
After confirming the direction, he no longer dared to walk forward.
At that moment, they smelled a very strange smell. There was a hint of moisture in the fragrance, and there was also a faint smell of pine wood.
Klein"s eyes lit up. That"s right, it was this smell.
According to legend, the smell of boxwood was extremely unique. Furthermore, it could be smelled within a radius of a mile.
Klein"s previous guess was correct. The boxwood was hidden in the area of the spirit of the tree that they had pa.s.sed by previously.
The strange thing was that Klein didn"t smell the smell just now. Why did it suddenly appear...?
James thought for a moment before asking, "Klein, we"re about to enter the area of the tree spirits. Is there any good method that works?"
Of course there was. Since the vines were attacking from beneath their feet, the two of them did the opposite.
Klein summoned the invisibility cloak and transformed it into a flying carpet that could fly in the air.
With the flying carpet, the two of them could fly at a low alt.i.tude.
With that, the vines wouldn"t be able to accurately attack them.
As expected, Klein was smart. Sitting on the flying carpet, James once again experienced the great convenience of magic,
The vines quickly attacked when he sensed an intruder.
It failed to find any traces of the intruder on the ground, so it extended the nimble vines into the air.
The flying carpet kept swinging in the air in order to avoid the entanglement of the old man"s tree vines.
Suddenly, the two of them felt as though the carpet had been pulled by something. Only then did they realize that a tree vine had already bitten on a corner of the flying carpet and was attempting to entangle it,
Klein struck with his ice blade and cleared the obstacles around him.
It seemed like these tree vines were more terrifying than they had imagined. They were able to accurately lock onto the intruders.
It looked like it wasn"t wise to stay here for long. It was best to quickly find the boxwood...
At this moment, Klein felt the fragrance grow stronger. He quickly braked and made the flying carpet turn, entering a narrow area.
The reason why this area was narrow was because there were a few thick trees that were tightly cl.u.s.tered together, forming a strange array formation.
And the legendary precious boxwood was in the center of the array formation.
Perhaps because they were close, both of them could feel the pungent fragrance that made them dizzy.
James couldn"t help but sneeze.
"Klein, is it that tree?"
The boxwood was tall and thick, and the color of the wood was dirty and gray. It formed a sharp contrast with the other trees,
Klein nodded. That was right. In front of them was the legendary boxwood tree that could be sold for a high price for a gram.
In the black market of their s.p.a.ce, this wood was even more valuable than gold.
Klein couldn"t help but gulp when he thought of this.
Since he had found such precious wood, he would bring some back and refine some other special tools.
Klein stood up from the flying carpet and after balancing his body, he conjured the tier 10 weapon that he had upgraded to,
James widened his eyes in shock. "Are you planning to use the impact of the flying carpet to use a tier 10 weapon to slash at the boxwood!?"
"Klein, no. This is too dangerous. The huge impact isn"t something you can withstand. Don"t forget the huge impact that this tier 10 weapon will have on you!"
Furthermore, the thick boxwood was extremely st.u.r.dy. Its quality was on par with the Five-Colored Stones.
Regardless of who won or lost this blow, Klein would suffer a ma.s.sive impact. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Klein seemed to have made up his mind. He stroked the back of the tier 10 weapon with his hand, but his voice became more and more steady.
"Don"t worry. I can"t cut down the entire tree!"
A boxwood that spent two thousand years to grow. He couldn"t take all of it for himself. That would be too selfish!
Klein had always been a gentleman. Not only was he a gentleman who loved money, he wasn"t greedy.
