Chapter 309 Exploration
“What a high concentration of elements!”
Although Heath had already predicted that the concentration of elements here wouldn’t be too low when he was outside, he was still surprised by the concentration of elements here when he actually walked in.
The concentration of elements in the air here had already reached a very exaggerated degree, almost to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye, and one had to know that… This was an effect that could only be achieved through the use of Elemental Candles in an enclosed s.p.a.ce.
These elements were affected by their respective characteristics and adhered to their respective attribute substances. For example, there was a large number of water elements in the dew hanging on the treetops. There was also a large number of earth elements in the soil beneath their feet. A random gust of wind would bring in wind elements.
There was no need to take the initiative to meditate. One could feel the elements pouring in with every breath.
“This is really a great place for closed-door meditation!”
Meditating in such an area with dense elements could achieve twice the result with half the effort. In addition to the new species in the surroundings, it was definitely a great place for closed-door meditation to increase one’s strength.
(Beep, extraordinary substance found. Can be extracted.]
Good Things always came in pairs. After walking in for a while, the system once again brought a piece of good news to Heath.
It was a strange mushroom under a small tree in the distance. The mushroom was as thin as a bamboo stick and had a red mushroom umbrella on its stem. There were small white b.u.mps growing on the umbrella.
Heath’s eyes lit up. “Intoxicating Mushroom!”
He had only seen this mushroom in books before. It was a magical plant that grew in areas with high elemental concentration. When you got close to this plant, it would release a hallucinogenic wine fragrance that would attract people to eat the mushroom umbrella.
This mushroom umbrella contained a lethal poison. The creature that ate it would immediately fall into a deep sleep and die, decomposing into nutrients for the Intoxicating Mushroom’s body to absorb.
“What a fragrant smell!”
Not long after he got close, Heath immediately smelled a strange wine fragrance. When this wine fragrance entered his nose, his entire head immediately became dizzy, and his appet.i.te was spread to the greatest extent. He could not help but want to pull out the mushroom umbrella and eat it.
After all, Heath was only one step away from becoming an intermediate-level Wizard, and he had the strength of a Grand Knight. Yet, he was still bewitched by the fragrance released by this mushroom. From this, one could see how powerful this mushroom was.
This showed the importance of knowledge. Heath, who knew the characteristics of this mushroom, obviously would not be fooled. He walked to the mushroom but did not rashly take off the mushroom umbrella. Instead, he first released a Wizard’s Forcefield to fill the surroundings.
Then, he took out a small shovel and started digging under the mushroom umbrella.
It could be clearly seen that after Heath started digging, the mushroom umbrella suddenly shook violently, and the soil under it also caved in, as if there was something under it.
This thing buried in the soil was obviously trying to escape, but Heath had already set up a Wizard’s Forcefield in advance. The moment this thing escaped, his Wizard’s Forcefield felt it. He immediately increased its strength and firmly suppressed it.
Then, Heath quickly dug open the ground, and he could vaguely see something below.
He then grabbed the mushroom umbrella and lifted it up. With a whoosh, the mushroom umbrella was lifted up, and the true appearance of the thing under the soil was completely exposed.
It was a strange creature. It looked like a radish with wrinkled skin and human facial features.
After being grabbed by Heath, it immediately let out a series of shrieks, “Ah ah!! Ughh!!”
This was the main body of the Intoxicating Mushroom.
The mushroom umbrella of the Intoxicating Mushroom was actually only used to attract young children of this kind of creature. Its main body was buried underground all year round. Once it sensed danger, it would quickly move away.
Heath took out a dagger and gently pierced a small hole in the head of the radish. He then released his spiritual power into it, destroying the spiritual center of this thing. As the spiritual center was destroyed… The squeaking monster suddenly stopped, and the struggle on its body also stopped.
Grabbing the corpse of the thing, Heath chanted in his heart: ‘Extract.’
(Beep, successful extraction. Spiritual Power +0.3]
(Beep, successful extraction. Obtained Talent (Fragrance).)
(Beep, successful extraction. Obtained Life Sequence of Intoxicating Mushroom.]
(Beep, extraction successful…]
The system’s crisp notification sounded as expected, and a series of pure energy quickly surged into Heath’s body. “As expected of a high-level magic material!”
To be able to extract so many attributes at once, even after the system’s upgrade, was a rare situation.
But soon, Heath realized that he had come to a good place.
After the Intoxicating Mushroom, he quickly found many good things. The Four-Legged Red Deer Gra.s.s, the Bread – Like Fruit that fell from the tree, the Blood-Sucking Mosquitoes that were harder to hit than a human head, and so
on.
These things were rarely seen on the market and were considered very high-level magic materials. Basically, each of them gave Heath an attribute boost that was no less than that of the Intoxicating Mushroom.
For a moment, Heath was completely silent in the rapid extraction of attributes. He only knew that he was rapidly collecting all kinds of demonized creatures while exploring the depths of the forest.
When he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the depths of the forest.
“Hey, when are you going to collect the materials here? Aren’t you going to look for the Heart of the Sea?” At this moment, Nina suddenly asked. Heath, who was silent in the extraction of materials, had not paid attention to her for a long time. Hearing Nina’s complaint, Heath also came back to his senses.
He looked around and then asked, “Where are
we?”
Looking around, Heath did not know where he was at this time. What he saw was only a lush forest.
Nina pouted. “I should be the one asking you this. You’ve always been the one leading the way, okay?” “Uh…” Heath opened his mouth, too engrossed for a moment.
Alright.
The Heart of the Sea, the most important thing!
Thinking about this, Heath couldn’t help but ponder. Before entering the Mysterious Sea Area, Orinoco had introduced the situation here to Heath. There were 64 islands here, and each island had the Heart of the Sea on it, but how to get the Heart of the Sea inside depended on the Wizards themselves to find the answer.
Although Heath had gotten the Heart of the Sea, it was mostly by accident. He was lucky enough to meet a little squirrel that pointed the way.
Could he get some hints from the demonized creature?
“Roar!”
Without waiting for Heath to figure it out, a loud roar came from the center of the forest. At the same time, a terrifying elemental wave swept over from the distance.
