Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 233 [Fern Girl] 6

Feng Lan thought that the matter was over. Anyway, the princesses would not come down the mountain and would not know about these rumors.

Who knows, maybe the residents of the town were too bored, or maybe the people here were too exaggerating, and soon the rumor spread that in the westernmost part of Ye Country, near the wilderness, on a hill, lived a group of evil and powerful forest witches. They wore beautiful skins, ate human livers and drank human blood, and used the remaining meat and bones to water the trees.

Because of this, the vegetation on the hill where they lived grew exceptionally lush, and animals teemed with them. Every fifty years, these witches would descend the hill to capture the most beautiful women in the surrounding area, peel off their skins, and replace their own worn-out human skins...

"Is this the mountain?... It looks no different from any other place, just with more plants!"

"Glayle... Let's go back. Witches are all very powerful. It would be too hasty for us to go up like this. What's more, there are twenty-three terrifying witches living on this mountain!!!"

"No, Gus, we are determined to become the most powerful heroes! How can we give up so easily because of such a small difficulty? Besides, we haven't even seen the witches yet. How do you know if they are really powerful or just rumors spread by the nearby villagers?"

Two young men, two blond young men dressed simply, looking no different from anywhere else. They had some small muscles on their arms from farming or other work, and some freckles on their faces. They looked innocent and simple. Because they were determined to become heroes who saved the world, they chose to set off without hesitation after hearing the rumors about the witches here.

However, compared to Greer's persistence, Guts, after going through all the hardships, has realized that being a hero is not just about saying it and skipping all the hardships encountered along the way like in storybooks. Along the way, you can also meet kind-hearted people who provide support and like-minded partners, and finally after a fight, you can successfully defeat the evil villain... This only happens in storybooks.

In fact, Guts and his companions did not have an easy journey, because they set out on the road in high spirits. They only brought the best and sharpest sword, some food and clothes. The first thing that made Guts retreat on the road was that they had eaten up the food they brought with them. They had to sleep in the wilderness with no one and no food. He and Grayer ate wild fruits for three days before they came across a small town!

But the two men had no money! So their journey was delayed for a few days. After two days of hard labor in the town to get paid, they bought food and water, and then they set off again. After that, they continued to travel like this, working, sleeping in the wilderness, and occasionally encountering wolves and bears in the forest!

If Guts and Grail hadn't been alert and slept in the tree, they might have become bones in the stomach of some wild animal!

Gus began to miss the stable life in the small town, working in the fields at sunrise and going to the bar at night to listen to other people's stories.

After seeing another mountain, before seeing the witch, Guts had already experienced the difficulties he had encountered on the road before. Maybe there were poisonous snakes, wild bears, hungry wolves, and blood-sucking leeches on the mountain!

Gus's legs were trembling a little. He touched the long sword in his arms, and there was a layer of melancholy between his brows.

Grell was the exact opposite of Gus. He was positive and optimistic about everything. He saw the hardships along the way as novel and unique experiences. Grell also tried many jobs he had never encountered before: cleaning carpets, changing horseshoes, soliciting customers, modeling, storytelling, and even delivering mail. It just so happened that where they were going, someone needed mail delivered, so even picking apples became a job! Hey, big cities are full of opportunities!

Although he was afraid, Guts still accompanied Grayer up the mountain.

As Guts walked, he always felt that someone was watching him from behind, but when he turned around, there was no one except trees all over the mountains and snake-like vines everywhere. Several times, Guts heard noises, but when he turned around, he could not find anyone.

Gradually, as they went up the mountain, the trees became more and more lush, even blocking out the light from the sky. Only sporadic sunlight fell through the shade of the trees, which intensified Guts's fear. He and Grayle huddled together and stopped talking.

Gus then realized that compared to other mountains, this place was eerily quiet. He spoke to Grayer tremblingly, trying to lighten the mood, "Grayer... do you feel... it's so quiet here... there's no birds singing."

"Grey...why don't you speak..."

Guts turned around and saw that Grail beside him had somehow transformed into a tree man! The kind of tree man that was covered in vines, tangled together, barely resembling a human form, and was still twisting and turning!

Gus: “…”

He rolled his eyes and fainted JPG.

Huahua:?

What a cowardly human being, what a loser.

Huahua wordlessly tied up the two humans and sent them down the mountain. Since the two did not do anything, it considerately placed them under a fruit tree so that they would not feel sore all over when they woke up.

After doing all this, Huahua didn't take it to heart. She waited until the evening and told Fenglan about it.

Feng Lan counted the number of people coming these days and said, "There are too many people coming. There are about thirty or forty people in total these days."

Feng Lan thought about whether to change places, but when she thought about the princesses who had already knitted half of the fern clothes, she gave up.

The most important thing is that Ye Kingdom is a rare big country. The most widely circulated story in Ye Kingdom is the story of a prince and a girl named Ye who were together more than a hundred years ago. They recognized each other because of a fallen shoe and finally got together.

Today, Ye Country already has quite a few wizards and sorcerers. Feng Lan has visited many places in the past few days, mainly visiting some friendly wizards, exchanging magic experiences with each other, and exchanging some magic items. Feng Lan also bought a book of potions from a friendly witch. The price was not expensive, and the other party only asked Feng Lan to give priority to trading with her after finding it.

Feng Lan agreed. After all, this pharmacopoeia was very comprehensive. In addition to the habits and functions of plants, it also listed various possible places where they might grow. After reading it through, Feng Lan was able to judge which magical plants were likely to grow nearby based on the terrain. There were also some items that needed to be concocted to produce magic power, so Feng Lan didn't have to worry about missing out.

Another reason for not moving is the mountain where the princesses are. I don’t know if it’s because of the princesses, but there are a variety of plants. Most of the plants in the pharmacopoeia can be found here, and some precious magic plants are also growing quietly. When I first came here, there were not so many magic plants here. In addition, there are also animals attracted by the princesses.

Many of them are rare animals that never appear in front of humans and are difficult to find their traces. Because the princesses discovered that Feng Lan had picked up a lot of precious magical materials such as their fallen hair, feathers, horns, and feces, they did not follow the growth and habitat habits described in the pharmacopoeia at all.

Feng Lan felt fortunate for the hundredth time that she didn't leave early because of this halo. The combined charm of the twenty-three princesses was truly great. It would have been a huge loss if she had left.
