Chapter 250: First Experience in the Carnivorous Forest Secret Realm
In the Witch's Secret Realm club, there was a large area of waiting seats.
Although you could apply for and queue for secret realms on your phone, it was clear that more people preferred to queue directly here, or wait for people.
I even saw so lone wolf seniors forming temporary teams here.
The Witch's Secret Realm did not prohibit multiple people from exploring or undergoing trials, so multiple people would naturally be more comprehensive.
And because of this, in a secret realm, or a large secret realm, you might encounter many other seniors who were alone or in teams.
Here, and even in the secret realm, students were not allowed to kill each other.
The secret realm was completely in the hands of the academy.
The club was mainly for managent.
After all, sothing like a secret realm could not be handled by people who were not at the transcendent level.
Therefore, the academy had to intervene, but the academy would not directly interfere.
Because of this, if anyone killed soone, the academy could easily find out what happened through the Earth Vein Information retrieval.
This would require compensation for the other party's resurrection and various expenses.
If you were blackmailed, it would be normal to ask for compensation for ntal distress.
For this reason, the Witch's Secret Realm club also had a professional team that specializes in judging the responsibility for death, and they had signed a contract that they would not be biased in any way.
If there were any doubts, the club would even conduct a public vote.
In short, the Witch's Secret Realm was filled with a large number of trials, opportunities, and deaths.
As long as you had the ability, you could indeed obtain a large number of rewards.
But all of this depended heavily on luck.
Of course, there were also other transactions involved, such as internal information on specific valuable secret realms, which could be obtained in advance to avoid detours, or to directly solve the puzzles of the secret realm, and so on.
But when I saw the price, I gave up directly.
I didn't have a very clear goal right now, and I wasn't very urgent about anything, so there was no need to spend this unnecessary money.
And what I was after was the trial in it, the experience of the process, not cheating.
At this mont, for , the final reward of the secret realm might not be as valuable as the insights I gained in the process.
"Hello, classmate, are you planning to enter the secret realm?"
"Hmm? Who are you?"
I looked up at the senior who was talking to in front of , a little confused, since I didn't know them.
"Oh, just asking if you're interested in teaming up to go to the secret realm?
If not, then we won't bother you," the leading senior said.
"I am, but I haven't decided where to go yet," I glanced around.
"Also, let ask, many people here look much stronger than . You shouldn't have found right away, right?"
"You're joking, senior. The intensity of your Magic Power Source is probably over a thousand, right? We need a relatively strong companion here. It's mainly because the two of us are a bit afraid that we can't take care of everything, so we tried to find you."
"Is that so..."
I subconsciously looked at my witch cape.
Couldn't they see what I was wearing?
And they called senior right away?
"What secret realm are you exploring? I'm just curious."
After all, I was naturally willing to form a temporary team.
It would be much more efficient than exploring slowly by myself.
"We're going to the Red Copper secret realm, the Carnivorous Forest. It's an open secret realm. There are a large number of rare plant samples and seeds inside, and the restrictions are not great. You can destroy the plants in the secret realm to a limited extent. Are you interested in this?"
"Carnivorous Forest? Plant samples? What are you going to this secret realm for?"
I asked curiously.
"Oh, this is my friend. Since you seem very interested, let introduce her. Her na is Sofili, and she's a planter who likes to cultivate strange plants. She's also an apothecary!"
The girl pulled the girl next to her over and introduced her to .
"I'm not an apothecary yet. I can only prepare a few specific potions. Strictly speaking, I'm just a planter..."
The girl called Sofili corrected her.
"Aiya, it's all the sa. If you can prepare potions, you're an apothecary. By the way, my na is Cheng Yu, and I'm good at summoning spells. May I ask your na..."
"Just call Yue," I said, using a character from my na. "And there's no need to call senior. I'm not necessarily older than you. But I'm good at evocation spells."
"Eh? Evocation? That's a violent thod. By the way, do you know fire spells? Don't start a big fire in the secret realm then, like what Xiao Han did in the exchange competition."
"Uh... I'll be careful," I said a little awkwardly.
"And I also have water spells, which can put out fires."
"Oh, okay, that's fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'll be fined if we burn down the forest in the secret realm. Our belongings can't withstand such a tornt," Cheng Yu said with a sigh of relief.
"Alright, but you still haven't told what you're going to this secret realm for."
"Aiya, I forgot to say. I'm mainly accompanying Sofili to collect plant samples, and to see if we can find seeds of rare plants or branches that can be transplanted. The main products in the Carnivorous Forest secret realm are probably these."
"Of course, there may be many planting and cultivation thods, notes, and so on left by the senior. Maybe we can even find potion recipes. Sofili found an incomplete recipe in there once, and after she perfected it, it has beco a potion that can be prepared!"
"So amazing?"
I looked at the slightly introverted Sofili in surprise.
Perfecting a recipe, even through constant trial and error, could represent the other party's perseverance.
If it was soone with super knowledge, it would be even more amazing.
"No... actually, that recipe..."
"Alright, alright."
At this mont, Cheng Yu interrupted Sofili's explanation, clearly not wanting Sofili to reveal any more.
She then took control of the conversation and spoke to , "So, are you interested in going to see it with us? We'll definitely give you a share of the harvest. Even if you don't like it, you can give it to us, and we'll convert it into transcendent materials for you at a discounted price, how about that?"
"Okay."
I nodded and agreed.
Although this was a bit different from what I had imagined, the planting thods, notes, and recipes they ntioned were all techniques produced in the secret realm.
At worst, I could copy a copy into the mory Bookshelf spellbook as a foundation.
Maybe it would be useful one day?
The most important thing was that soone would guide through the process of the secret realm.
This was an excellent opportunity.
Seeing agree, they also imdiately smiled.
Although the danger level of the Carnivorous Forest was not very high, it was not without danger.
An apothecary and a summoner were really a bit too much to handle.
It would be great to have a violent evocation mage.
Under their guidance, we... finally got in line.
That's right, we still had to queue.
After all, there were a lot of people here at the mont, especially for this kind of open secret realm with no limit on the number of people.
However, this didn't make us wait too long, and it was soon our turn.
The fee for entering the secret realm was naturally paid by each of us, but the admission fee for this secret realm also shocked .
It only cost one Red Copper coin.
"What's wrong? Have you already paid?"
"I have, but only one Red Copper coin?"
I asked with so confusion.
"Haven't you seen it before? After all, the two of us are not very strong, so we don't dare to go to very high-level secret realms. Although the fee for this secret realm is very cheap, this secret realm will limit the number of entries. Or rather, most of the unlimited public open secret realms will basically limit the number of entries, but for the Carnivorous Forest, you can only enter it again after at least a month."
"At least? A month? So long? And the ti is not fixed?"
I asked again.
"You didn't notice this either? It's indeed not fixed. Depending on the internal situation of the secret realm, the Witch's Secret Realm club will also adjust the interval between entering the secret realm, but it doesn't have much impact. Let's go, let's enter the secret realm first."
Cheng Yu explained to .
After all, when you explain sothing soone doesn't know, you can get a sense of accomplishnt, so she seed to enjoy talking to about these things.
It felt like she thought of as a powerful senior who disdained entering such a cheap secret realm...
This was really a misunderstanding, but I didn't correct it.
After all, this could reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The way to enter the secret realm was through a teleportation formation.
After registration, we would be guided to an open space with a solidified teleportation formation, which would be operated by the club mbers.
And to exit the secret realm, you had to go to a special place to teleport out imdiately, and you couldn't leave anyti, anywhere.
Because of this, many seniors who couldn't escape in ti were buried in the secret realm.
However, if you were afraid of death, you could spend more resources to buy a portable one-ti teleportation alchemy teleportation formation.
But this was very expensive, and it might not even be worth the harvest from the secret realm.
As my vision blurred, a feeling completely different from entering the dream state pod ca over .
A huge amount of energy enveloped us and we arrived at another place in an instant.
The process was very short, but it would still have a certain impact on the body, such as dizziness and so on.
" Miss Yang Yuehan, are you okay?"
"Yeah... I'm fine."
I nodded and suppressed the uncomfortable feeling.
Then my gaze was shocked by the scenery in front of .
Although this was the location of the teleportation formation, and the surroundings had obviously been cleared, I could still feel the feeling of a prival forest in the depths.
Strange plants and towering trees obscured the sky, and the calls of insects were endless.
"I didn't expect you to be the type to get motion sickness from teleportation. But it's okay, let's rest here for a while. We need to apply so potions first. There are a lot of poisonous insects here, and the potions can avoid a lot of trouble."
"Thank you."
I took the potion that Cheng Yu handed .
The potion was a common type of slender test tube with a wooden stopper, with a label on it, with the words "insect repellent" handwritten on it.
It seed that this was also a potion prepared by Sofili herself.
Used to repel insects?
Potions are really convenient.
It makes want to learn how to prepare potions.
But compared to preparing potions, I still think alchemy would be better.
After all, an apothecary is just a profession derived from one of the branches of alchemy, potion alchemy.
Potion alchemists study recipes and can prepare potions, while apothecaries simply prepare potions based on recipes.
If I had to choose between potion alchemy and being an apothecary, I would definitely choose the direction of potion alchemy.
Although it's a bit ambitious to think so, who doesn't have a little ambition at the beginning?
I opened the potion, and a mixed scent of plants and herbs wafted out.
Although the potion seed a bit cloudy, there were no suspended solids.
After all, this kind of thing that can be seen with the naked eye can be filtered.
The potion prepared by Sofili herself was for her own use, so she couldn't be that careless.
However, I still applied so of these potions to my limbs.
But with my application of protective spells, I could directly protect my limbs closely.
At this mont, Cheng Yu waved her hand, and a summoning spell appeared.
A huge figure appeared beside Cheng Yu.
It was a giant bear, and I could tell at a glance that this giant bear was not a spell effect, but a contract summon.
This was a real giant bear, perhaps raised by her at ho, or a creature living in so unknown world or space.
From the rock-like exoskeleton on its back, it could be seen that this bear could control the earth elent, and its own strength was also a bit terrifying.
The height of it on all fours was already much taller than .
"This big guy is our partner. His na is Yanyan. He's not a spell creation, and his strength is not to be underestimated," Cheng Yu introduced with a smile.
"Is that so? It's an honor..."
I tightened my grip on my magic wand and smoothly cast a protective spell on myself.
"So, should we leave first?"
"Wait a minute, let's look at the map. Let's see where we explored last month. Making a mark can save us a lot of detours."
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up when she saw that I could use protective spells, but they quickly dimd.
After all, although protective spells were good, they also had many restrictions, and it was not certain whether the other party's protective spells could be cast on others, so it was better to do her own thing.
And I just watched as they opened their phones and pulled up a map with many markers on it.
It seed that they had been here many tis.
And I was surprised that they could still use their phones here!
But after I opened it, I found that I couldn't connect to the academy network.
Alright... it seed to be in offline mode.
The other party probably had a guide and a map prepared in advance.
And I also leaned over to look.
After all, we were a team now, and we also needed to understand the situation and where we were going next.
I just took a look, and this so-called Carnivorous Forest was very large.
The entire secret realm was covered with trees, and there were not many conspicuous landmarks.
And when she saw leaning over, Cheng Yu didn't stop , and even explained the general situation here to .
The area of the Carnivorous Forest was basically divided by the characteristic plants of that area.
The map also marked the locations of other teleportation formations, so that if we wanted to exit, we could directly find the nearest teleportation formation.
"The last ti we explored, we reached the Giant Erosion Thorn Vine area. This ti, our goal is to pass through the Giant Erosion Thorn Vine, collect so more samples and seeds, and then go to the side here, where the Dark Thorn Grass grows."
"Is that so... then where did you find those notes, techniques, and recipes you ntioned?"
I asked curiously.
"Those are generally hidden in special places. This may depend on the character of the senior who left the Witch's Secret Realm. The senior who left this Carnivorous Forest secret realm likes to put these things in bottles and hide them in the bodies of so ferocious plants. We found it once by chance when a plant similar to a man-eating tree was pushed down by Yanyan."
"I see."
I nodded.
It was reasonable.
It seed that if I wanted to enter other secret realms, I would have to search more carefully.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of thods those seniors would use to hide their inheritance in what kind of abstract way.
"In addition, we still have to be careful. After all, this is the Carnivorous Forest. Many ferocious existences are not animals or poisonous insects, but those plants. They will really eat people, especially the digestive and corrosive juices. We must be careful," Cheng Yu explained to caringly at this mont.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder. I have protective spells, so I don't need to worry too much. Do you want to cast them on you? Let remind you in advance, if it's an all-round protection, your attacks may also be blocked, but you are a summoner, so it shouldn't be a problem."
"Really? Then... this is really a blessing from you. Please co here."
Cheng Yu said excitedly.
"Um... I can throw potions to assist in battle. Is it okay if I don't have full protection?"
"Of course, but then you have to be more careful."
Of course, I had no problem.
After all, I ca with them this ti to gain experience, not to lead the team.
But so of my own thods and values should indeed be shown.
After all, I didn't have the sa relationship as the two of them.
There was a natural gap, and I needed a certain amount of strength to prove that I was valuable to be with them.
After all, no one liked a dead weight.
"It's okay, I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve."
At this mont, Sofili also put on her equipnt.
She had many slots on her body, all of which were for placing potion bottles.
Just a brief glance revealed nearly ten kinds of potions!
This wasn't a battle, this was throwing money, right?
"Um... what's wrong? Miss Yang Yuehan, why are you looking at like that?"
Sofili felt a little unnatural being looked at like this by , so she asked.
"Oh, I just feel like you have a lot of potions. Is this your combat thod?"
"Yes, this is a corrosion potion, this is a withering potion, they are especially effective against the aggressive plants here..."
"Wait, I didn't an that. I an you are... so rich," I quickly said.
"Oh, after all, I'm soone who can prepare potions, so I can earn so extra money. In addition... the cost of these aggressive potions is actually not high. Otherwise, I wouldn't use this kind of thing as my regular attack thod. Miss Yang Yuehan, I still have a lot here. Do you need so for self-defense? Just consider it as a reward for you casting protection on us."
"Oh, no need. I still prefer spells. They are very convenient to use. Since we are all ready, let's go."
"Yes, it's ti to set off. The sooner we go, the sooner we co back," Cheng Yu also said from the side.
"In short, Yanyan and I will lead the way."
"I'll take the rear."
I also nodded.
The apothecary Sofili was in the middle to be protected.
My strength should be the strongest here, at least on the surface.
Naturally, I would be at the back to control the overall situation, bring up the rear, provide support, and so on.
