Chapter 624 - Poisonous Mist Trail
Of course, Ujfalusi wouldn’t actually pay attention to those matters. Instead, he reported the matter of his herb purchase at Seven Leaf Grass to his master, Lin Li.
Back in Roland City, Lin Li had once requested Charles, the owner of Seven Leaf Grass, to help him search for some rare herbs from Tree of Emerald in City of Late Winter. However, back then, Charles was fretting over the possible obstacles he might face while on the way to City of Late Winter; hence, he hired some mercenaries to protect him.
However, it was said that the second largest bandit group of the Breezy Plains would be entrenched on that route too. Hence, even Sienna was troubled by this task. Lin Li wanted to use Charles’ connections in City of Late Winter to reap some benefits. Hence, he agreed to send 10 Archmages from the Tower of Dusk and Ujfalusi to escort and protect him.
At that time, Lin Li did not think that he would encounter the elves in the Haiga Mountain Range. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted his efforts. Anyway, the elven elders had already promised to give him more privileges in terms of herbs.
When Lin Li left the Tower of Dusk, Seven Leaf Grass’s team had also set off at the same time. However, when Ujfalusi left, Lin Li had instructed him to meet him in the Haiga Mountain Range after arriving at the City of Late Winter. Lin Li, too, knew that he lacked some manpower, and Ujfalusi had already recovered his Legendary-realm power. It was a huge support for his quest in the Haiga Mountain Range.
After escorting the Seven Leaf Grass team to the City of Late Winter, Ujfalusi left the 10 Archmages behind to continue protecting the Seven Leaf Grass team while he entered the elven camp using the Soul Contract according to Lin Li’s previous instructions.
Although Ujfalusi was alone, Liches had their own resources. Apart from the fear he felt because of the hatching of the Elemental Wyrm, he did not encounter too many obstacles along the way.
However, although the City of Late Winter was on the edge of the Emerald Forest, it was still rather far. Hence, Ujfalusi was a few days later than the high-level elf who had returned with the Star-scarred Robe.
Finally, a team of elves returned with good news. They explored along the cliff and found a road that seemed to allow them to make a detour to the bottom of the cliff. However, the strength of the team was limited; hence, they had yet to explore the way in detail. Not only were there terrifying beasts along the way, there were also poisonous gases all around them, as well as a mysterious power that limited all the nature magic.
However, the piece of news still made them feel rather energized. Elder Randy rewarded those elves before discussing the route with the humans.
According to the news brought back by the elves, it would be basically impossible for a large team to enter. Lin Li analyzed the poisonous gas that they had collected and found that it was not feasible to formulate an antidote for it, even though it was not as difficult to deal with as viper’s poison. However, the Legendary-level poison could remain hidden in the body.
