Chapter 136 Underground Exploration Part 1

"I am a scholar..."

Magic card + sound card, combined with love card, Adam would like to call it acquaintance before meeting.

Gandalf's words were so convincing. In order to let the other party understand the current situation and join them, the two of them told Gandalf all the information they knew.

Including the areas they've explored, what they've encountered along the way, and their current stronghold.

"You encountered a mountain range?"

Adam's eyes lit up:

"In which direction?"

"Uh... over there."

Zola pointed in the direction, then hesitated:

"But because the mountain range looked too high, we were worried that there might be danger inside, so we didn't continue to explore..."

"Thank you. I plan to go there and have a look. Do you want to come with me?"

After hearing the news, Adam immediately planned to set off.

"OK……"

The two agreed without thinking, but after following Gandalf for a long time, they suddenly came to their senses - it seemed that they were planning to get each other to cooperate?

The two looked at each other and then looked at Gandalf - forget it, it's been so long and I don't have a clue anyway, why not follow this scholar, maybe he can find a way out?

"Now that there are plants here, we can turn up the lights."

The two saw plants starting to appear on the roadside, so they took out the lantern that had been extinguished when they escaped and lit it again. After some adjustments, the light of the lantern became much brighter than before.

It can probably illuminate a dozen steps around, which is slightly better than fluorescent flashing.

Adam looked at the magic prop with some disgust, and used the magic of the lamp card to create dozens of light balls.

"..."

After extinguishing the lantern, the two of them put it away as if nothing had happened, secretly scolding the logistics department.

To avoid embarrassment, Zola explained:

"There were some light-seeking flying insects in the area around the lake just now. I don't know what kind of animals they are, but they are highly poisonous, so we almost don't light the lights, and even if we light the lights, they won't be too bright."

Adam looked back thoughtfully. Maybe Professor Scamander would also be interested in this place?

Youwei then said:

"But those flying insects don't come to areas with plants...you see."

Adam followed the direction of Youwei's finger and saw clusters of weed-like plants on the ground. In the middle of each cluster was a slender pole with a red fruit on the top.

"This fruit is edible and is everywhere in this area. We all survive by eating this fruit."

Youwei said, picked one and threw it into his mouth, and then his facial features tightened:

“There’s no downside to it except a little sourness.”

"Thanks."

Gandalf picked a fruit, twisted it in his hands, and then threw it into his mouth.

Putting the fruit into the satchel, Adam and the two of them walked forward.

"Don't eat this randomly, wait until I get back to study it."

It's okay to grow in a place with no light. Many magical plants can do this, such as the devil's net, but the growing location is at a significant distance from the water source...either there is a problem with the plant or there is a problem with the water.

Combined with the fact that those flying insects will not fly here...it is obvious that there is a high probability that there is something wrong with the plants.

In the satchel, Sibi and Xiaoke pulled the fruit on their meat pads, feeling the magic inside, with serious expressions:

"Okay~"

Adam nodded secretly.

Continuing forward, there are obviously more types of plants, and at the same time, there is light all around - a plant with a glow stick-like shape begins to appear all around. If it doesn't glow, it looks a bit like a calamus.

"Beautiful, right?"

Zola and Youwei smiled and stretched out their hands to squeeze the glowing stick-like structure. Dots of light spurted out from the end, like pollen. Adam opened his shield to block all the pollen.

Even magical animals comply with certain laws of evolution. Since this plant wants to shine, it must have a purpose for it. Is it to attract other things to spread pollen for it... or to attract food?

"Better be careful."

Adam kindly reminded him, feeling that with these two people's tendency to take action whenever they saw, it seemed that they wouldn't be able to guide him for too long... Before finding Eugene's parents, he still expected to let the two of them get away. There are people exploring the way for him.

"It's okay. We have been here before. There is no danger in this area up to the mountains."

Zola waved her hand:

"Several explorers believe that these plants are ornamental and edible varieties specially cultivated by the wizards who built the hanging gardens. There are more ahead..."

This guess does make some sense.

Adam sighed. He had asked the two of them before, and they did not know Eugene's parents.

These people did not unite as soon as they arrived at the underground ruins. They fought openly and secretly at first. But after more than a month of survival in the ruins wilderness, they finally met at the stronghold closest to the entrance and reached a consensus. At this time, compared to when they first entered The ruins, no one knows how many people were lost.

Something happened to Eugene's parents probably during this process.

"Are there any trees in front of here?"

The left side of the mountain, the right side of the water, the top of the tree, the soil

Now there are clues about the mountain and water. Although it is not clear whether it is the mountain and the water, it would be better if there are trees.

"A tree... there should be one."

Youwei recalled something:

"That mountain is bare, without any vegetation, but we saw bird droppings on the road. There should be trees nearby for them to build nests? But we didn't see any on the road before."

Birds... Birds don't necessarily have to build nests on trees.

Having said that, Adam still planned to follow and take a look.

"Please lead the way."

...

"Adam, how is it?"

Although he knew that Adam would come back on time every time, Eugene still waited on the sofa early, and when he saw Adam appear, he hurried to ask.

"I found news about the mountain, but it hasn't arrived yet."

It's a pity to run to the top of the mountain, not to mention that Adam can't see it now, he just heard about it.

"But don't worry, I found that if there is danger in the ruins, it is very dangerous. According to the people I met, all the dangers they encountered will quickly kill people, such as monsters in the lake, or poisonous flying insects and the like."

Adam comforted Eugene:

"When I divined before, your parents were obviously still alive, so nothing will happen for a while."

In any case, it was a comfort, Eugene nodded.

"By the way, where is the mirror?"

Adam looked around. Why is the mirror not there today?
