$1488 Entering the Mountain

All the dark stones stored in the village were collected by Raymond. ?. .

Although the number of cotton ore stones that can store 'Phantom Smoke' is small, Raymond is very satisfied.

Some of the ores that Ulu calls 'relatively rare' have also been taken out of the secret warehouse and re-sorted and packaged. The ores that are common in the underworld have been selected to be of relatively high quality. The high parts were saved in categories and thrown into Raymond's storage ring.

The sorting and identification of hundreds of ores caused Raymond to spend a lot of time in the village.

The underworld plant cultivation sites, which accounted for more than 90% of the entire village, were also screened and screened under Ulu's inspection. Some of the varieties that would not bring prosperity to the village were eradicated, while those that could bring development to the village were eradicated. are required to expand the planting area.

Some of the parts that were rare and ripe for picking were picked and processed after identification by Ulu, and eventually became part of Raymond's harvest.

Of course, Lei Meng did not take these resources valued by the Phantom Butterflies for nothing. Instead, he gave away two defensive magic weapons that could be used by the Phantom Butterflies, which was regarded as compensation in disguise. But what Raymond didn't expect was that such a gift would make Elder Sethus burst into tears and thank him repeatedly. He was so grateful that he couldn't be more grateful. When Ulu saw the two magic weapons, he was stunned. Eyes were stunned.

The two defensive weapons randomly selected from the storage ring were both collected by Raymond when he was in the underground plane earlier. Their levels are not very high, so for Elder Sethus and Wu He was extremely surprised by Lu's behavior, so naturally he asked about the reason.

"Master. Such defensive magic weapons are extremely rare and precious in the underworld. Only lichs with intermediate strength or above can try to make them..."

Ulu, who was full of envy, actually closed his eyes before he looked away, and then smiled bitterly. "Even Uru, who was once considered to have the highest potential under Talis Archlich, was awarded the 'Illusion-Breaking Pillar' because of years of accumulated merit. Master, you are really too generous..."

Hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but feel speechless. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but ask. "Aren't they just low-level magic weapons? Are the lichs in the underworld living in such embarrassment?"

"The abilities possessed by lichs are enough to make up for the shortcomings of their artifacts. What's more, as long as their phylacteries are not discovered, they are almost immortal. Naturally, they don't care about these artifacts..." The understanding of lichs made the girl Bei Ji made this explanation, and then shouted at the grateful Elder Sethus. "Just now I noticed that you were telling little Jima not to make any fuss about the location of the soul-sacrifice fruit tree. Otherwise, this village will disappear by the time we return!"

"Don't dare, don't dare! Little Jima knows where to take you. Please be merciful when picking the soul-sacrifice fruit and don't damage the soul-sacrifice fruit tree..."

Elder Sethius, who held the two magic weapons in his arms, didn't even dare to say anything, and smiled from ear to ear, which greatly relieved the dull atmosphere caused by little Gemma.

The separation was imminent, and little Jima, who had remained stubborn before, howled when she was sent out of the village by her tribe. Especially the young phantom butterflies of similar age to her, who were whispering around her to make her escape. Even more sad.

Considering that the barrier spirit protecting the village is in a weak state. After consulting Elder Sethius for his opinion, Raymond set up a counterattack talisman array at the entrance of the mountain trail, completely sealing off the village.

Although Uru swore that this village was definitely not known to the men of Talis Archlich, in order to prevent accidents, Raymond still specially strengthened the talisman array to ensure that a guy with Uru's strength could not break through it.

But after hitting the road. The girl Becky sitting on Raymond's left shoulder said through a voice transmission. "You didn't set up the superimposed talisman array to confine them in the village, right?"

"It should be set up like this for protection. Don't you think this would be better?"

The girl Becky curled her lips after hearing Raymond's answer. But he was angry immediately. "Lord Raymond, it seems that you are afraid that old man Sethus will renege on his word, so you trapped them all in the village!"

"I'm still worried about Sethus. Who knows if it will do anything to preserve the status of the Hidden Tribe..."

Raymond's truthful answer made the girl Becky laugh out loud, tugged the hair on his ear to show her dissatisfaction, and then began to retreat.

The team that went upstream discovered two days later that the wetland on the other side of the river had been changed by the vainly rising terrain and quickly turned into steep peaks.

The low mountains on this side of the river originally merged with the landforms on the other side of the river, causing the river to narrow in vain and become turbulent and surging.

Jima, who was resentful and fearful of the Butterfly Uru, had been quite depressed after leaving her village, but after seeing such a landscape, she approached Raymond and spoke. "Sir, the great elder said that the soul-sacrifice fruit at the source of the river is estimated to mature in a year, but the soul-sacrifice fruit tree located in the Sea Buckthorn Plain, two months away from here, should mature within three months. Mature, you see..."

"Does one need to pass through the source of the river to get to that valley?"

"You can pass by, but it will take a detour."

After Jima finished answering, Raymond asked about Ulu, the Butterfly of Resentment. Although it was not familiar with the high mountains in front of it, after calculating according to the direction pointed out by Jima, it told Raymond that even if it took time to go around, it would not be too long. a lot of.

Since time will not be consumed too much, it is natural to go to the source of the river first, and after confirming that the soul-sacrifice fruits there are not yet mature, consider rushing to the next place.

But after entering the high mountains, the very troubled Jima made another plea. "Sir, although the guardians of the soul-sacrifice fruit trees there have nothing to do with the village, they are aware of the existence of our village because of the distance. Can you not disturb them when you go to investigate?"

"Little guy! To explore the soul-sacrifice fruit tree, you naturally need to enter it. How can you avoid the guardian there!"

Ulu, who became angry after hearing the sound, questioned unceremoniously, but this also made Jima shrink and fear, and she did not dare to speak again.

Jima, who had been very courageous when facing the possibility of destruction of the village, became so timid after setting out on the road, which made Raymond a little puzzled. After telling Ulu to stay away, he asked why.

But Jima's answer made Raymond dumbfounded.

It turned out that this little guy was actually afraid of Ulu, the Butterfly of Resentment, which made it increasingly afraid to face it, let alone defend it in front of it.

"Sir, I know that it is difficult to reach the location of the soul-sacrifice fruit tree without telling the guardians. But for the soul-sacrifice fruit tree in the river source, I heard from the great elder that the guardians have conflicts with each other, so if you are careful, you can To prevent them from noticing..."

Facing Jima, who had an expression of pleading and expectation, Raymond couldn't help but frown. "But the soul-sacrifice fruit tree is underground, and the closer you get, the narrower it gets. If you want to sneak in between the guardians, I can't give you any guarantee..."

After hearing this, Jima looked excited, shook her hands and shouted in surprise. "No guarantee! No guarantee! As long as you are willing to do so! Even if they are discovered in the end, they will never think that it is because of our village..."

Unexpectedly, it would be because of such a reason that Jima would be extremely depressed and entangled along the way, so Raymond also promised that when he arrived at the source of the river to explore the soul-sacrifice fruit tree, he would prevent it from being destroyed by the guardians. What was discovered was to try not to cause the guardians of the soul-sacrifice fruit tree to associate this matter with the village of Phantom Butterfly.

After the psychological burden was put down, Jima became a little more active. However, Raymond, who entered the mountains along the river, was attracted by the peaks on both sides of the river soon after...)
