Farming in the Magical World

What caught his attention was the dense forest there, so different from the surrounding area.

Amidst a landscape of earthy yellow mountains, the sudden appearance of a patch of emerald green was bound to attract attention.

"There's a small valley at the top of the mountain. Shall we go take a look?"

After landing, Lanny pointed to the mountain behind him.

But Greta looked up in confusion and said, "It's just an ordinary valley. We went there before, and it was barren."

Years ago, she followed Alyosha's mother to this continent. Hearing that there was a devil's corridor here, she came to investigate out of curiosity.

They had also visited the small valley at the top of the mountain, but found nothing there.

Lenny shrugged.

"It's now covered in dense forest, very thick... Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

After Lenny said that, Greta was stunned and became uncertain for a moment.

"We only glanced at it back then; we didn't go into any depth..."

"In that case, let's go and take a look!"

This time, they couldn't be lazy and flew up directly.

The area is densely wooded, and the surrounding peaks are sharp as swords. Even though gliders aren't particularly picky about landing spots, it's still difficult to find a suitable place to land in the narrow valley.

Looking at this terrain, this place must have been a volcano before, as evidenced by the dark, granular material around it.

It was only after the volcano went dormant and was irrigated by rainwater that it formed such a peculiar shape.

As for why Greta said that this place was a wasteland more than ten years ago, that remains a mystery.

Perhaps it was only in recent years that the volcano became completely dormant?

After telling Black Deer and the others to wait where they were, Lanny led Alyosha and the others up the mountain.

The mountains are steep, and the land is covered with withered yellow leaves.

However, as they approached the summit, the soil on the ground gradually turned into black particles.

Lanny kicked the black, granular soil on the ground and nodded, feeling that his guess was probably correct.

But the next moment, Lucifer cried out.

"Brother, something's not right."

"Ok?"

"There's a subtle magical reaction on the mountain... ...it's green!"

"Really?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm sure of it."

Upon hearing this, not only Lanny perked up, but Alyosha, Greta, and the others also became excited and quickened their pace.

After all, green is a magical color unique to elves.

But when the group reached the summit and crossed the steep ridge, they encountered a problem.

It wasn't obvious from the air, but once you got there, you realized that not only was the outside extremely steep, but the inside was also a near-vertical cliff.

Apart from Lenny, who could fly down directly, the rest of the group had no way to get down.

"How about... I go down and take a look first?"

But Lucifer paid no attention to that. Instead, he pointed to the dense jungle and became even more excited, shouting involuntarily.

"There, in the middle of the dense forest below, is a huge area of ​​magical energy reaction."

Even Alyosha and Greta were surprised to find themselves feeling a sense of familiarity amidst the desolate mountains.

With his words, and the feeling of closeness that the two women experienced,

The two women could no longer hold back and shook their heads.

"Great Chief, I... I want to go down and take a look..."

Tsk... ...

Seeing this, Lanny nodded helplessly.

Fortunately, his ability to fly gave him a huge advantage, and he managed to find a barely passable path between the cliffs.

Then, Phil used his knight's sword to carve out footholds in front of them, and then used ropes to pull everyone down to the bottom of the valley.

It was only afternoon, but the dense woods made it seem like dusk.

Upon entering the valley, not only Lucifer and Alyosha, but also Phil and the others noticed something amiss.

The trees here are not only exceptionally dense, but also exceptionally thick; even vines that are about the thickness of a thumb are as thick as an arm here.

In the woods, small animals were leaping and darting about, watching the group warily and occasionally letting out sharp warning cries.

"in front of!"

At this moment, Alyosha no longer needed Lucifer's reminder and easily sensed the rich life force.

And the direction was that small lake.

Alyosha was fine, having never sensed any life force in the outside world before, but Greta excitedly rushed towards the small lake.

When the group emerged from the dense forest and arrived at the lakeside, they were all stunned and stood there in awe.

The lake isn't big; it's only about the size of a basketball court.

Hidden among the jungle, the lake is calm and still, with crystal-clear water that, which should be pure and flawless, has a slight greenish tinge.

Like a dark green gemstone, it was directly embedded in this dense forest.

"Brother, look at the trees by the lake!"

Reminded by Lucifer, everyone turned their gaze away from the lake and looked up at the shore.

Only then did he realize that the trees were glowing with a fiery red color, as if they had all been wrapped in a layer of gold leaf.

How come I didn't see it in the air just now?

He turned and looked closely at the trees next to him, and that's when he discovered the strange thing.

Regardless of their species, these trees all had scale-like structures on them, with the original emerald green color of the trees above the scales.

Below, however, the color turned golden.

Looking down from high above, one naturally cannot see the red color beneath the scales.

On the contrary, as everyone entered the valley and lowered their line of sight, the entire valley transformed like a chameleon, turning from a green jungle into a dazzling display of lights.

Such a scene could only be seen at the lowest point of this valley, which made Lanny marvel at the wonders of nature.

At this moment, Phil, who had been relatively inconspicuous, did not look around with the others. Instead, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings, squatted down to examine the ground, and then frowned with a serious expression.

"Attention everyone, there are signs of human activity here!"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

It's very difficult for them to get down here, and as we just saw, this is a basin with no entrance at all.

How could anyone be active there?

"Brother Phil, are you sure you're not mistaken...?"

Before Lucifer could finish speaking, Phil's expression changed, and he abruptly drew his knight's sword.

"careful... ..."

Whew...

Deep in the dense forest, a boulder the size of a human head flew out and suddenly crashed down directly on the group.

With his sword drawn, Phili launched himself out like a cannonball.

In mid-air, he raised his sword with both hands and unleashed a powerful slash.

Bang... ...

The boulder was blasted to pieces in mid-air.

"Waaaaah..."
