Chapter 122: Medicinal Herbs That Can Escape
Yuanze and Dai Hui soon arrived at the Tianwen Peak. Before they reached the top of the mountain, they felt a burning breath with curling black smoke coming towards them.

They turned on the protection of their battle suits and continued to climb toward the top of the mountain. The temperature of the soles of their feet rose little by little, and gradually they felt their feet were a little hot even through the protection.

The sheer heat on the top of the mountain forced them to use source power to protect their bodies, and then use the flow of source power to dissipate the heat, which could only be barely alleviated.

The originally pointed mountain top had been worn away by the high temperature, replaced by a huge notch. Black smoke continued to pour out of the hole, accompanied by scorching air waves that made it impossible to look directly at it.

"Di~"

Yuanze suddenly received a message from his master, who said that the information was wrong. What was being bred there was not the Flame Sun Beast, but its superior Source Beast, whose strength was comparable to that of a top-level Source Warrior.

The gestation period of this source beast is much longer than that of the Flame Sun Beast. The training camp has upgraded the mission level to A-level, which means that it will take multiple extraordinary-level source warriors working together to solve it.

In addition, the JL provincial government has dispatched a large number of geological professionals to cooperate with the training camp. This task is far beyond the scope of Yuanze's single-handed handling.

The master's message also mentioned a very tricky point, which is that a secret team from Neon Country has sneaked into Tianchi Mountain.

So he asked Yuanze to be careful and come back as soon as he found the herbs. If he couldn't find them, it didn't matter, he would ask for other ways.

Yuanze felt uneasy.

Could it be that they really treated other people's territory as their own backyard? This made him very unhappy, and he must find an opportunity to find out their true purpose.

Especially that night, since it was not the brothers Liu Shuiyun and Dai Hui who were causing trouble, it was very likely that they were the ones who made the noise, using a special method to make him worry for the entire night.

However, their disguise was quite clever. If I hadn't learned about their weapon system from Dai Hui, I would probably still be kept in the dark.

Yuanze saw Dai Hui waiting for him nearby and shared the latest information with him.

After all, he has been carrying out missions here, and his understanding of the surrounding environment is undoubtedly deeper than Yuanze.

Moreover, according to the plan, he needs to protect himself until the mission is completed and he leaves the area.

Dai Hui lowered his head and pursed his lips, seeming a little nervous. He hesitated for a long time before telling Yuan Ze the information he knew.

Before, their original mission was to find the mysterious medicinal herb that would run away.

Later, the old man temporarily decided to let them give priority to protecting Yuan Ze and assist him in achieving his goal.

But he didn't expect that Yuanze's other task was exactly the same as what the old man had assigned them.

Moreover, their information about this medicinal herb is obviously more comprehensive than Yuanze's.

This medicinal material is a "human-shaped" source beast, whose original body is a very rare ginseng living in Tianchi Mountain. It had a very powerful tonic effect before the "catastrophe".

After experiencing the mutation of the "catastrophe", the source power it contains has abundant vitality, and the important active ingredient ginsenoside has the effect of prolonging life and helping people to advance.

It is also because of this that the legendary story of "ginseng becoming a spirit" has come true in reality.

This source beast has a strange appearance, with two stubby legs and a striking red hat. Some people also call it "Shanwa".

Moreover, the ginseng that becomes the source beast, like other plant-type source beasts, starts at the extraordinary level. However, the combat power of the ginseng source beast is very low, but its ability to escape and hide is outstanding.

According to the information they investigated, this one must have just completed its evolution and its mind is not yet mature, which is why its identity was exposed.

Considering that Shenwa cannot leave the place where he grew up, he must be hiding in another peak of Tianchi Mountain - Baiyun Peak.

So, they came to Baiyun Peak again.

As the main peak of Tianchi Mountain, this mountain suddenly rose from its original height of more than 2,000 meters to more than 6,000 meters after the "catastrophe", becoming the majestic peak it is today.

Based on some clues obtained before, they came to several places where Shenwa was found, but the two could not find any traces, so they could only let Astra start trace analysis.

The two searched for a long time, and with the help of Astra, they finally found a pit of neither deep nor shallow at a location marked by explorers. This seemed to be where the ginseng had lived before.

Yuanze squatted down and picked up a few yellow leaves. Some of these leaves were oblong or oval, while others were diamond-shaped and oval, much like the leaves of ginseng.

He looked up at the forest. It was mainly a deciduous broad-leaved forest. The main tree species nearby were basswood. The soil around it was very loose and should be slightly acidic.

These all meet the conditions suitable for ginseng growth as described in the books, and the source power here is also richer than in other places, so it must have grown up here before becoming a source beast.

However, the direction here is a little bit towards the northwest, which is still a bit flawed for shade-loving plants. It is not a perfect place. Fortunately, the tree canopy is dense, filtering out a lot of light.

Therefore, Yuanze guessed that after it could move again, it would move towards the southeast slope, and the most suitable place for it to live there was not wide, but just a smaller area.

The two men turned their camouflage capabilities to the maximum and jumped onto a tree branch to prevent their search on the ground from alerting it.

There aren't as many source beasts in the woods here as in the Misty Forest. Occasionally there are some low-level ones, and they are easily dealt with.

"Someone has caught it!"

Astra controlled some small source beasts and found those Japanese people again, but strangely, there were only two people left from the original trio.

"Ahaha, I finally found it after searching for such a long time!" Wu Kou grabbed its two legs and stood it upside down.

"Keep your voice down, what if someone finds us?" Yang Shuzi looked around vigilantly, fearing that he would be ambushed and lose his life.

"How is it possible, those people..."

Dai Hui's mind was a little unstable, and he suddenly rushed over from the tree.

The branches shook and made a "thumping" sound, which immediately alerted the Japanese.

Although Dai Hui's actions were somewhat impulsive, Yuan Ze thought his choice was not wrong. If they took this ginseng, once someone was promoted to the extraordinary level, it would obviously be more disadvantageous.

However, at the moment when the two Japanese people were alert, the ginseng baby also noticed that their attention was distracted and made an unexpected move.
