Chapter 218: Open up the Witch Forest, where treasures are everywhere!

A system prompt appears.

[Your territory member: Andrew has successfully broken through and has become a fourth-order leader-level creature, with basic attributes increased by 100%]

...

now.

Everyone had a gentle smile on their face.

Congratulations to him.

Assam said sincerely: "Congratulations, Sir Andrew."

As Cao Xing's two earliest generals, they had a good relationship in private.

Andrew said with a pious smile on his face: "Knight Assam, with the Lord here, you will soon be able to break through to the fourth level."

However, Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Assam will have to wait for a while."

"He has a Knight's Five Virtues Trial, which requires challenging a boss monster of a higher level."

"It's just right. Let's see if we can find a suitable target in this forest for Assam to complete this trial."

"Then let him break through to the fourth level."

Hearing this, Asam said with a firm look in his eyes: "I will do my best to complete the challenge, Lord!"

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

At the same time, Cao Xing took a look at Andrew's attributes after the breakthrough.

[Icefield Druid: Andrew]

[Race: Druid]

[Level: Level 30 0/300000 (Level Leader-level Creature)]

【Detailed properties: click to view】

...

When Cao Xing saw Andrew's attributes, a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes!
With 90,000 health points, it has completely surpassed Sarah!
The attack power also directly reached three thousand and three.

This doesn't even count as the [Blessing of Courage] state!
Now, any one of Andrew's Starfire spells can cause at least six thousand damage!

Moonfire also has nearly 5,000 group attack damage, which is terrifyingly powerful!
Except for Sarah, no one on the field could possibly inflict as much damage as him.

Cao Xing was full of praise, "Andrew is so strong after his transformation!"

"And this Witch Forest is really a good place. It gave me a high-level heart of power right away."

"It seems that it won't be long before all of us can enter the fourth level."

Cao Xing thought happily.

Then he led his men forward.

As he walked, Cao Xing saw some familiar plants appearing under one of the big trees.

Several flowers, about thirty centimeters tall, with green petals, are growing quietly.

When I went forward to take a look, it was indeed the [Ice Luan Flower].

Then, Cao Xing carefully picked them all.

[Obtain: Ice Luan Flower (Blue)*17]

...

"Good, I picked up money again."

Cao Xing thought happily.

To him, these magical plants are resources and money.

The more the better.

"We move on."

Under Cao Xing's command, everyone began to explore the forest.

A few minutes later.

Cao Xing came to a dense forest again.

This was an area they had not explored before.

The surroundings were also pale in tone, including the branches and leaves of the big trees, all of which were pale.

However, in this paleness, some strange plants also grew.

For example, hanging on the branches are some black fruits as big as fists.

There are also some weeds and mosses of various shapes growing on the ground.

Cao Xing took a quick look and found that they were just some ordinary plants, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

As mentioned before, The Witchwood is too big.

Even though this is a doomsday world shrouded in extreme cold, the variety of plants in it is still richer than you can imagine.

Not long after they walked, they suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

The scent is extremely tempting.

Just taking a whiff of it, I feel my mind clear up.
Everyone couldn't help but twitch their noses.

Elisa's pupils sparkled as she said, "What a nice smell! It smells like milk!"

The wild boar warrior Lab said: "Oh! Why do I smell the smell of animal meat?"

Cao Xing was also a little surprised, "What is this? Why does it smell so good?"

Everyone was confused, as if they had no idea how such a fragrance could suddenly appear in this cold forest.

Andrew next to him sniffed the air a few times and said, "My Lord, this smells like the smell of the Jixiang mushroom."

"Ji Shiitake?"

Andrew nodded, "Yes, this is a magical mushroom, and it is also a relatively rare ingredient."

"It is said that after drying it, it is even better to use it to make soup."

“No matter how unpalatable the dish is, as long as you add some shiitake mushrooms, it can become a rare delicacy.”

"The most important thing is that this ingredient will not destroy the taste of other foods."

"It is an ingredient that the royal chefs have been searching for."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

Then he asked, “Is this thing worth money?”

Andrew was stunned for a moment, as if he was also confused by Cao Xing's question.

Then, he slowly replied: "It should be... quite valuable..."

"After all, those royal chefs and top chefs often spend a lot of money to hire those powerful hunters to go deep into the mountains to find this kind of food."

"If it's available, they would definitely be happy to buy it."

Joy instantly appeared in Cao Xing's eyes.

For him, the taste of the shiitake mushrooms is secondary.

Mainly, what is its value?
"Andrew, if there is this kind of fragrance here, it means there are Jixiang mushrooms nearby, right?"

"Yes."

After getting Andrew's confirmation, Cao Xing immediately gave the order.

"Look for them all."

After hearing this, everyone took action.

Elisa, on the other hand, twitched her nose and quickly walked towards the back of one of the big trees.

Then she exclaimed, "My Lord, here it is!"

Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned, "Good boy, she found it so quickly?"

"Are you a dog nose?"

He also quickly rushed to Elisa's side.

Sure enough, I saw several tender white mushrooms growing next to the roots of this big tree.

The height is almost half a meter, the stem is almost as thick as a thigh, and the cap on top is thirty to forty centimeters wide.

Looks very plump.

There was a constant stream of strange fragrance coming from above.

For some reason, there aren't many beasts in the Witchwood.

Cao Xing speculated that it was probably because of the [Dark Aura].

Otherwise, the fragrance alone would attract a large number of wild animals.

"Wow, such a big mushroom?" Cao Xing said in surprise.

Andrew was also stunned for a moment, then said: "Generally, the Jixiang mushrooms are only about the size of a fist."

"This is the first time I've seen one this big."

"Its value is probably much higher than some ordinary shiitake mushrooms."

Hearing this, Cao Xing's eyes showed anticipation.

He walked straight forward and the properties of these mushrooms appeared in front of him.

[Giant Jixiang Mushroom: Magic Plant (Purple)]

[The fragrant shiitake mushroom is a relatively rare ingredient]

[Effect ①: After drying, grind it into powder, and make it into Jixiang seasoning, or mix it with other materials to make high-end pet food. 】

[Effect ②: When consumed for the first time, it can increase your physical fitness by 15 points]

...

"An ingredient that can be made into seasoning?"

"Not only that, it can also be made into high-end pet food, and it also has the effect of improving physical fitness. It's really great!"

Cao Xing said happily: "I've collected it!"

So he simply picked up all the mushrooms on the ground.

[Obtain: Giant Jixiang Mushroom (Purple) *4]

4 shiitake mushrooms weigh almost ten kilograms in total.

"Haha, it feels really good to pick up money from the ground."

Obviously, shiitake mushrooms are a precious ingredient.

The functions mentioned above in the prop introduction alone show the value of Jixiang Mushroom.

Moreover, he had a giant Jixiang mushroom in his hand.

This can be seen from the fact that those top chefs have issued commissions and hired powerful hunters to help find [Ji Xiangu].

It will definitely sell for a high price!
However, the Witch Forest is very dangerous.

Those hunters simply don't dare to come to such places to collect resources.

So no one has set foot in this forest for almost one or two hundred years.

If it were some ordinary forests, the rare fruits and even the magical plants inside would have been picked up by them long ago.

It is impossible for it to be Cao Xing’s turn.

And now, because of Cao Xing's powerful strength, he has penetrated deep into the Witch Forest.

And they were searching inside recklessly.

For Cao Xing, this is equivalent to a huge treasure trove.

As long as you look for it patiently, you will always find some unexpected surprises!

"Let's go, keep moving forward."

Following Cao Xing's order, they changed direction and began searching. Three minutes later.

They encountered another wave of nightmare carnivorous plants.

Cao Xing took a quick look and saw that there were about thirty or so carnivorous plants.

Although the levels are all above level 30, there are no boss-level Piranha Plants.

"However, although there is no boss-level Piranha Plant, the two elite Piranha Plants are also good."

"The poisonous stings on their bodies can be used to make a lot of arrows."

Thinking of this, Cao Xing continued to give orders: "Fight as you please, and make a quick decision."

After hearing Cao Xing's order.

Braum, Assam, two dragon blood warriors, boar warriors and other melee fighters swarmed forward.

"Puff puff!"

Jonard and Josent's spears kept piercing the petals of the carnivorous plants, causing holes to appear on them.

At the same time, high amounts of damage occurred.

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

...

Lab next to him relied on his 30% blood-sucking ability and strong recovery ability to jump directly into the group of carnivorous plants.

"Master Beast God, grant me strength!"

"Double-blade dance!"

Lab held the two swords and began to spin at high speed among the group of carnivorous plants!
【-twenty four】

741+
【-twenty four】

760+
【-twenty four】

795+
Damage numbers appeared one after another.

There are also some blood-sucking numbers among them.

At this moment, Lab was fighting seven or eight fourth-level carnivorous plants alone. Even though the three layers of holy shields on his body had been completely broken, his blood volume still did not decrease.

Every time I was hit by the concentrated fire of the Piranha Plant and my health was reduced, I could recover most of it with a few hits from Lab.

Then [Ice Healing] and [Life Bloom] started to restore his health at the same time, directly restoring his health to full!
Rab said excitedly: "Haha, Rab is an immortal boar warrior!"

However, he didn't have long to be happy.

One of the elite carnivorous plants extended a long tentacle and directly wrapped around Lab's arm.

At this moment, he felt a huge force coming.

Under his horrified gaze, Lab was dragged over.

Then, the petals suddenly closed.

Seeing this scene, Braum slapped his bald head and said in surprise: "Oh no! The wild boar warrior was swallowed!"

Lab was careless and forgot that the Piranha Plant also has a skill called [Nightmare Attack].

At this moment, Isabel and another nightmare archer suddenly felt a huge force coming from their waists.

The two of them flew straight forward!

Then, this Holy Light Priest was also swallowed by the Piranha Plant on the spot.

There was intense surprise in the eyes of everyone on the field!
However, Cao Xing's expression did not change.

Because of their strong recovery ability, even if they are swallowed by the Piranha Plant, they will not be in any danger in the short term.

Everyone also heard the cry for help coming from the petals.

"Spirit...Spirit Master Daren, save me..."

This is Rab’s voice.

Isabel also said in a trembling voice: "Ugh! What is this mucus... So disgusting..."

Cao Xing couldn't help laughing.

"Go and rescue them."

After receiving Cao Xing's order, Assam and two dragon spear warriors rushed forward directly.

"Swish!"

After a few slashes, the petals of the three carnivorous plants suffered multiple attacks.

Then they spit out Lab, Isabel, and the archer.

The three of them sat on the ground, looking terrified.

Their bodies were still covered in sticky purple liquid...

Especially Isabel, she was originally wearing a plain white wizard robe.

Now, because her robe was soaked, her graceful figure was highlighted.

Delicate skin, snow-white features, and a slender waist that can be held in one hand.

In addition, her slimy appearance formed a strong contrast with the sacred Holy Light Priest.

Cao Xing's eyes fell on her and he found that the woman had a very thin waist.

Can such a thin waist support such a large upper body?

Isabel also noticed Cao Xing's gaze and her wet clothes.

This usually serious Holy Light priest suddenly showed a trace of shame on his face.

Xi Erda beside her did not forget to taunt: "That woman from the Church, put on your clothes properly and stop trying to seduce the Lord Master here!"

The fighters were concentrating on fighting, and did not dare to look back when they heard this, pretending not to hear it.

After all, this is a fight between two powerful women, and no one dares to interfere!

Isabel bit her lower lip, looked at Hilda hatefully, and then stood up from the ground.

At this moment, she raised her staff and a strong holy light flowed out like water, washing away the mucus on her body.

Isabel was bathed in holy light.

After a moment, her beautiful face became pure again.

He was restored to the spotless and incomparably holy priest of Holy Light.

Lab and the archer next to him also cleaned themselves up.

Rab exclaimed, "God of Beasts, I was almost swallowed by these man-eating plants!"

Cao Xing reminded them at this time: "Be careful, don't let the tentacles of the man-eating plant wrap your body around you."

"If you don't want to be covered in saliva..."

Rab recovered himself, then raised his weapon and rushed forward again.

Isabel next to her seemed a little angry.

He raised the staff, and terrifying rays of holy light gushed out.

The explosion caused the petals of the carnivorous plants to shrink and gather again and again.

In no time, everyone got rid of this wave of carnivorous plants.

Bang!
A huge ball of holy light fell down.

【-twenty four】

[Your territory member: Isabel Gospel killed the Nightmare Piranha lv35, a fourth-order elite creature, and gained experience points: 0]

[Combatants gain experience points: 1400]

...

When the last Piranha Plant was killed, a pile of materials and the huge corpses of those Piranha Plants appeared on the ground.

As usual, Cao Xing walked over and disassembled it all, then collected everything together.

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha's Poisonous Thorn (Green)*2794]

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha's Poisonous Thorn (Blue) * 372]

[Obtain: Nightmare Piranha Petals (Green)]

[Obtain: Intermediate Power Heart*4]

[Obtain: Level 1 Elite Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *]

[Obtain: Level 5 Nightmare Court Archer Scroll *]

【get……】

...

Another wave of harvest.

There are also four intermediate power hearts, several recruitment scrolls, two polluted elite souls, and more than three thousand poisonous stingers.

"Not bad, not bad. Four intermediate power hearts saved me 4 ice dragon marks."

"Since entering the Witch Forest, 13 intermediate power hearts have been exploded for me."

"If we go by the price in the Dragon Shop, it would be 13 Ice Dragon Marks."

Cao Xing exclaimed: "Sure enough, the advanced area is great!"

"If we can kill all the monsters in this forest, maybe we can kill all the hearts of power of my two hundred warriors at once."

Cao Xing thought happily.

Of course, to kill all the monsters in the entire forest, it would require extremely strong strength and a lot of exploration time.

It basically cannot be completed in one or two days.

As for those recruitment scrolls, Cao Xing did not summon them.

There are enough of them now.

There are too many people and it is difficult to command them in this jungle terrain.

So Cao Xing put all these things into his backpack.
Then he led everyone to go deeper.

...

five minutes later.

This time, they stopped beside a giant tree that was more than two hundred meters tall.

What attracted Cao Xing's attention were the red fruits at the top of the tree canopy.

Obviously, these red fruits are so eye-catching in this forest where the overall tone is pale.

Cao Xing turned around and asked, "Does anyone know what these fruits are?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Even Andrew, who knows a lot about plants, is not quite sure.

"My Lord, this may be a unique tree in the Witch Forest."

"But to be this tall, it must be quite old."

Cao Xing nodded, then sighed, "If only my plant encyclopedia, Juliette, was here with me at this moment, she would definitely know the names of these fruits."

However, no one knows the names of these fruits.

But he is a survivor and has the system's built-in panel functions.

As long as he gets closer, Cao Xing can see their properties.

Thinking of this, he said directly: "Dabai, take me to the big tree."
