A hint of greed and surprise flashed in Brother Long's eyes, and then he gave Lu San a hidden smile.

Lu San was also a little excited. He was a "werewolf" who roamed around, responsible for delivering information and resources to various shady underground organizations.

Human trafficking is just one of his many businesses. A year ago, he came to South Mercury and carefully selected an inconspicuous mercenary group like Qiyu to join, just to have a legitimate identity that would allow him to operate in South Mercury.

He has done a lot this year. A few days ago, seeing Qiao Xi's sister becoming more and more beautiful, he was just about to leave after finishing this last order, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would be delivered to his door.

With the goods in front of him, plus that Qiao Nannan, his trip to Southern Mercury can be considered a complete success. After selling these two, he can rest for a long time.

Kongyu's attention was all on the valley in front of him. With his sharp eyes, he had already seen several seeds of common plants on Earth. Kongyu's confidence increased. It seemed that he had made the right trip.

Kongyu had previously made an album of the several plants he wanted and sent it to the members of the Adventure Mercenary Group. After entering the valley, Chang Hu waved his hand and signaled everyone to search separately, leaving Qiao Xi to follow Kongyu.

A pale-faced young man saw Kong Yu staring intently at the weeds by the roadside and approached him to start a conversation:

"What do you collect these plants for? Are you a plant scientist?"

Kong Yu looked over when he heard this and recognized that this was the person who had been bitten by the red flame poisonous spider before.

"I'm still a junior student, and I want to take advantage of the holidays to collect more plant specimens."

The eyes of Kong Yu in front of him were as clear as water, and he was completely defenseless against people. He really looked like a young master who was brought up in pampering and had no idea of ​​the dangers and sufferings of the world.

Disgust flashed across the young man's eyes. He hated this kind of naive young master the most. He relied on his family background and didn't know his place. His naivety was disgusting.

"Then you should hurry up and pick more plants. You may not have the chance to come here again in the future."

The young man's tone was full of mystery, and Kong Yu was stunned. "Why not? I can come next time I have a holiday."

"Haha, what I meant was that this place is very dangerous. Once you young masters experience it once, you won't want to come here again."

Kong Yu smiled slightly, as if he didn't hear the implicit meaning in the young man's words at all, and portrayed the role of a naive and innocent young master to the fullest.

"Thank you. Dad used to always say that people outside are bad and told me to be careful, but you see, all I've met along the way are good people."

The young man's mouth twitched. This guy must be a fool. It's a pity that the boss asked him to test the waters.

Watching the young man walk away with a fake smile on his face, Kong Yu was puzzled. Is his acting so good, or does he just look like a fool?

He also felt that these criminals were not smart enough.

Kong Yu no longer paid attention to others and concentrated on searching the valley. This was indeed the largest forest in South Mercury. This valley alone was as big as dozens of football fields.

Kong Yu took Qiao Xi to the top of a mountain, and finally saw what he wanted among a group of tall trees - anise trees. Qiao Xi had helped him find pepper trees before, and now there were several well-preserved pepper trees in his space button. He just needed to find a suitable place to transplant them later.

The star anise tree is a subtropical tree species that likes warmth. Its suitable growth temperature range is 20-30 degrees Celsius. The climate of this valley is very suitable for its growth.

The star anise tree in front of me is probably quite old. The crown is tall and sturdy, and the bark is reddish-brown. Now is the fruit ripening season. The leaves are dotted with green star anise fruits, and a rich fragrance fills the air. I feel happy just looking at it.

This thing can not only be used as a spice, but also a common Chinese medicine. It can warm the yang and dispel cold, regulate qi and relieve pain, and treat abdominal cold pain, stomach cold vomiting, kidney deficiency and low back pain and other problems.

Qiao Xi looked at the tree in front of him, and without Kong Yu's instructions, he climbed up the tree to pick the star anise. Kong Yu did not stop him, and he was also ready to go up.

Before he could do anything, Josie, who had just stepped onto the tree trunk, fell headfirst. The triangular scarf that had been covering her face fell off at some point, and a mysterious smile was still hanging on the corner of her mouth.

At the right moment, Xiaohua's voice came to Kongyu's mind: "Xiaoyu, this tree is poisonous~"

Kong Yu didn't care about anything else, and hurried forward to pull Qiao Xi away from the octagonal tree, and then took out an antidote from his bag and fed it to Qiao Xi.

After a while, Qiao Xi slowly woke up.

The moment he saw the empty space, Qiao Xi struggled to sit up. He seemed to be very excited. He grabbed the empty sleeve and started talking. It was obvious that this guy not only fainted in just a few minutes, but also seemed to have had a good dream.

The star anise tree is poisonous and can even cause hallucinations.

Fortunately, it should not cause any serious harm to the human body. But even so, Kong Yu still feels a little distressed. He collects star anise for great use, but what if it is poisonous?

"Xiaoyu, Xiaohua has a solution. You just need to give Xiaohua two ginseng sticks~"

Hearing Xiaohua's words, Kongyu's eyes lit up. How could he forget that Xiaohua seemed to have a natural affinity for plants? Apart from him, Xiaohua was the only one who could feel the presence of energy in medicinal plants.

While Qiao Xi was still dazed, Kong Yu quietly released Xiaohua.

For the sake of her beloved ginseng, Xiaohua took small steps and stuck to the trunk of the star anise tree as soon as she came out.

In an instant, Kong Yu felt that the rich fragrance in the air had dissipated a lot, and gradually he could smell the fragrance that originally belonged to plants and trees.

Until it completely disappeared, Xiaohua ran back as if to take credit.

Kong Yu raised his hand and took back the supernatural core. He ignored Qiao Xi on the ground and climbed up to collect the star anise fruits. Then he packed up several star anise saplings on the ground with their roots and soil and threw them into his space button.

When Qiao Xi regained consciousness, he saw the saplings he had dug on the ground disappear out of thin air. A hint of envy flashed in his eyes. The larger the space button, the higher the price. The one in his hand was only a few square meters in size, and it was filled up with just a few things.

Just as the two were about to go down the mountain, a shocking tiger roar suddenly sounded in the valley.

Qiao Xi's expression changed. "Oh no! Someone provoked a level 6 saber-toothed tiger. Let's go."

Kong Yu didn't say anything and followed Qiao Xi as he ran towards the Qiyu Mercenary Group.

Chang Hu had explained before that there were many high-level beasts in the Half Moon Forest, but on weekdays, as long as people entering the mountain did not take the initiative to provoke them, these big guys generally would not take the initiative to provoke humans. Why was there such a big commotion today?
