Chapter 18 Great Harvest

[Harvest successfully, herbal medicine Lv. 1×8]

[Harvest successfully, herbal medicine Lv. 2×11]

[Harvest successfully, herbal medicine Lv. 3×3]

Bai Zhen took out the storage box that he had prepared long ago and carefully packed the herbs.

"Bai Zhen, there are good things here!"

Xie Mi suddenly called Bai Zhen by the river.

Bai Zhen put the storage box into his backpack and hurried over with Tan Xiaoshi.

Bai Zhen thought Xie Mi had found something delicious, but she didn't expect that what she found was about 30 centimeters high, green grass with a few sparse leaves?
  It just looks like this grass looks a little like a medicinal herb, but there is something different in that the leaves of these grasses are very fat, and there is a gelatin-like substance wrapping the leaves on the outside.

"It's not food."

Bai Zhen whispered in surprise.

Xie Mi snorted arrogantly: "Humph, Xie Mi has just eaten and is not hungry now. Leave it to Xie Mi to find these useful plants! Just prepare a feast for Xie Mi."

Bai Zhen also readily agreed: "If it's good food, I will definitely give you extra food."

"A word is settled~!"

Bai Zhen carefully examined the plants in front of him.

[Flowing water grass Level 1 (E-grade food material) - grass that accumulates a large amount of water in the grass blades, usually growing by rivers. Waterweed is difficult to use as an ingredient, which places extremely high cooking requirements on chefs. It is said that hunters use this plant as cold water bombs. 】

Flowing water grass!
  This is a real attribute plant.

Bai Zhen picked a leaf casually. The leaf was about half the size of a palm and felt heavy.

Bai Zhen clenched his fists, and with a splash, the leaves spurted out a lot of juice.

Bai Zhen estimated that this was at least 300 ml.

"This really stores a lot of water."

Bai Zhen tasted the remaining juice on his hand.

"Bah, bah, bah." Bai Zhen quickly spat out the residue in his mouth.

How do you describe the taste of the juice of this waterweed?

To sum it up in two words, it’s very painful!

It feels like chewing raw bitter melon, but the impact of the juice is stronger than the bitter taste of bitter melon.

Bai Zhen tasted the crushed grass blades again.

Grass blades that have lost their juice cannot be chewed by the outer layer of gum that retains moisture. They are as unpalatable as chewing a cactus.

"No wonder it's difficult to use as an ingredient. It doesn't taste good at all."

Xie Mi looked at Bai Zhen nervously and asked, "Isn't it a good thing?"

Semi worried that his dinner was missing.

"No, it's a good thing."

Although the original version of Liushuicao tastes very bitter, Bai Zhen has a golden finger.

If it is blended with other ingredients to neutralize the bitterness in the juice, the juice of this waterweed can also be used as an ingredient.

Moreover, this is a plant with incredible attributes. If it is strengthened, maybe he can make more powerful water-cooled bombs.

In short, this plant has great potential, and there are many directions for strengthening it in the future.

"What about Semi's feast?"

"I will help you do it later, but for now, help me harvest this waterweed."

Based on the knowledge in his mind, Bai Zhen taught Xie Mi and Tan Xiaoshi how to pick this special plant correctly.

[Harvest successfully, Flowing Water Grass Lv. 1×13]

[Harvest successfully, Flowing Water Grass Level 2×6] Place it in the storage box and store it away.

Bai Zhen looked around again, and after confirming that there were no other edible or usable materials nearby, they continued to head to the place where the smoke was.

This casual picking delayed them for half an hour.

Behind Bai Zhen's head, Xie Mi kept using his sense of smell to look for food around him.

In her opinion, finding good things = having a big meal, so she naturally worked hard.

When I find something good, I will ask Bai Zhen to make me a mountain of mashed potatoes!

"There's a big blue mushroom over there!"

Bai Zhen found the blue mushroom growing on the rotten wood through Xie Mi's directions.

[Blue Mushroom Lv.1 (F-Grade Ingredients) - A mushroom with a very fresh taste. Despite its bright color, it is actually non-toxic. Blue mushrooms can enhance the abilities of other ingredients. They are a necessary ingredient for blending various recovery items. They are also one of the most excellent ingredients! 】

After seeing the message, Bai Zhen quickly took out the storage box and stored all the blue mushrooms in front of him.

Blue mushrooms are also one of the very basic ingredients, and they are very useful as they can enhance the abilities of other ingredients.

This collection took another five or six minutes.

Bai Zhen collected a total of 8 level 1 blue mushrooms.

Just as Bai Zhen finished collecting, Xie Mi pointed the direction to Bai Zhen.

"There are good things over there!"

Bai Zhen looked in the direction pointed by Xie Mi. He came to a big tree and looked at the green vines wrapped around the trunk.

Bai Zhen pulled one off casually. He thought it was an ingredient, but he didn't expect it to be one of the ingredients.

[Ivy leaves Lv.1 (F-level material) - Inedible, it is a highly soft and strong grass, a necessary material for blending the nets required for pit traps. 】

The introduction in my mind also changed from ingredients to materials.

Bai Zhen pulled the rattan with both hands. It was indeed soft and strong. He cut the rattan with a knife and found that the fibers inside were twisted together.

"It's really a miraculous work of nature that such a plant can be born."

Bai Zhen hurriedly collected the ivy grass. This collection took another ten minutes.

As soon as he put the ivy grass into his backpack, Xie Mi discovered a blue mushroom not far away.

Just as Bai Zhen was about to follow Xie Mi's guidance to collect materials, Tan Xiaoshi grabbed Bai Zhen.

"Wow!"

Tan Xiaoshi reminded Bai Zhen that now was not the time to collect materials. If the place where the smoke was rising was a temporary camp, they would probably be separated from the intelligent creatures.

After Tan Xiaoshi's reminder, Bai Zhen finally reacted.

In order to collect materials, he headed in the opposite direction of the smoke. If he missed the other party, he didn't know when it would be possible to find other intelligent creatures.

Moreover, the materials Bai Zhen has picked up so far are still basic materials. When he has a fixed residence later, he will have time to find these materials, so there is no need to be in such a hurry.

"That's right, it's better to get there as soon as possible."

Bai Zhen restrained his excitement a little.

There are also many dangerous creatures in the wild in Monster Hunting World. It is best to find a safe place as soon as possible.

It is better to pick materials along the road.

After regrouping, the three of them continued to move towards the target location.

After only walking for about thirty minutes and about a kilometer forward, they were attacked by monsters.

Bai Zhen led Xie Mi through the woods quickly.

Beside him, Tan Xiaoshi was running, with sparks the size of watermelons condensed on his side. He looked at the surrounding bamboo forest warily.

A rattling sound came, which was the sound of the weasel dragons hunting.
