Kendra turned her head and saw why they were gasping. As they walked through the forest they saw a field filled with fruits. But what they were amazed at was that all the fruits were spirit fruits.

As they came near a voice could be heard. ''Each of you can gather one fruit. Choose wisely.''

Some quickly got this and that, but Kendra stared at the whole bush of spirit berries and looked around. Everyone was busy selecting what they wanted and only a few of her friends saw her strange expression. 

Rorry came closer and whispered. ''What is it?''

Others came near and looked at the berry bush but everyone shook their heads. To get only one berry would be wasteful of chance. So they didn't even go near. Except for Maximilian and Cassie, everyone else rushed to search for the biggest fruit they could find. 

These two could see a tiny smile on the corners of her lips and looked at each other. ''She found something again.''

Even Molok was near as this time he didn't want to waste the chance to be near her. That pretty boy is always like glue on her side. He must find a chance to be nearby as well. He can't miss his chances all the time.

He heard her voice from nearby as she whispered. ''All of you have space bags?''

They all nodded and curiously stared at her in wonder.

She pointed at the plant. ''This is NOT spirit fruit, It is spirit vegetable! Its root is huge that is why his top looks like a bush. And these are not berries. These are seeds of the plant. This is a double win. You can sell spirit seed as well for huge amounts of spirit stones. Or raise them for your own use. Cethin, you helped me often lately, you take this one first. I am going to the other 'bush'. Scatter. quickly!''

They moved away and saw Kendra standing by the next bush and waiting for everyone to stop by one bush each. Suddenly everyone heard her call. ''Now!''

As they summoned the spirit vegetable into their spirit bags, all that was left was a huge hole in the ground. Even Cethin was amazed by the size as he looked at the empty space where just moments ago was spirit vegetable. Carrot? But then he saw the strangeness of the hole. Potatoes? Spirit potatoes?

The hole succ.u.mbed as a whole bunch of spirit vegetables were pulled out and fell into itself, making a shallow dent in the earth. Yes. What they gathered were huge bushes of spirit potatoes. She shook her head as Maximilian wanted to see what is it. She silently mouthed 'later'. 

Of course, he understood it and just gathered around everyone as they walked further through the forest. Actually, except that place that had spirit fruits, anything else could be gathered freely.

Kendra saw something that made her remember something. A weasel family eating deliciously a huge mushroom. With a smile, she waved her hand and picked up every huge mushroom she could find on her way. Seasonings, healing herbs, wild vegetables. She gathered them all and saw everyone from her group doing the same.

But except Molok that followed their motions and Kendra's explanations, the rest of the main group just rolled their eyes. He stopped as he saw a strange blinking light. ''We will be transported out soon. The other four groups are already done and we are last to leave the caverns. Now we can rest for a while and in the morning we can check the Ice Planes and the surroundings.''

The sacred entries for the groups were already used and the special gift given to them was usually just stuff to support them to survive like vegetables and herbs to cook meals. Who would have thought they found spirit fruits? Seeing their stiff expressions they didn't speak about their secret task or it would cause few people to get stupid ideas.

As they went back, Kendra saw some of the ice that was melted and pressed her lips in anger. Seriously. Actually, she froze the whole room. Somehow she knew they would try to enter out of curiosity.

With a wave of the hand, all the ice was done and a couple of fire users dried the rooms completely. Just as she summoned the table and cooking material to prepare food, one group of people entered their rooms and made them look at them coldly.

''Aren't you gonna cook food for us?'' One young man was about to sit down as strong wind pushed him and a group of people out and suddenly the opening where was the door to that room turned into a thick white wall.

''I want to eat and they are cooking, what is their problem? Do they know who I am?'' The young man was even more arrogant than Maximilian and the four girls that hung around him a while ago regretted breaking ties with him. There are even dumber people than him. Too bad.

But his leader looked at him coldly and summoned food with a wave of the hand. ''Eat food if you are hungry. If you don't wanna, then cook your own. There is fire, warm it up.''

Molok's group was together and realized how much warmer their leader was as he sat with them and even warmed up the food he had. Thinking about her past words he almost kicked himself. If he bought hot food, he could give them hot food now. 

He lowered his head and whispered. ''Kendra is selling her food fifty spirit stones all meals until the end of the task. If you have money, pay. The food I give is not bad. I settled two rooms for us. One for girls one for boys. I will seal the doors as Kendra did so no one could steal an inkling of true fires I plan to use to warm up the rooms. Well, why are actually soulbond, but I hate people walking randomly? If any of you want to buy her food let me know so I can tell her to make some extra food.''

But none rose their hands as fifty spirit stones are literally riches. And the food he brought was not bad either. 

But some people were sitting nearby and heard his whispers and smiled at each other.
