Chapter 106: Thousand Illusion Flower Seeds
Material sourcing still happened on Earth. Speaking of which, his assets in the other world had grown considerably.
A total of 75 gold coins, 10 silver coins, plus some loose change.
There was also a Demonsbane Gold Coinalso known as that purple gold coin.
Hua Mi compared it to the Demonsbane Gold Insignia representing his identity as a "Swordbearer" and concluded that this purple-glowing coin should also be made of Demonsbane Gold, with its appearance and hardness entirely matching.
Demonsbane Gold was an exceedingly rare material. Its unique properties made it far more precious than ordinary gold, and just this one Demonsbane Gold Coin could probably equate the value of all other coins combined.
Nevertheless, Hua Mi decided to buy materials on Earth. Mainly due to the convenience of logistics.
This time, Hua Mi planned to expand the greenhouse by twice its size, requiring almost twice the amount of materials from last time.
There were still some leftover materials from the last time.
So, the expenses this time did not reach twice the amount of the previous expenditure.
However, after buying the materials, there wasn't much of the money accumulated from selling honey left.
Hua Mi didn't really feel regretful. Firstly, it was a necessary investment. Secondly, who cared about that money when one could traverse to a magical world and possess superpowers?
Today, Hua Mi brought Xiao Zi along and set out to find the seeds of the Thousand Illusion Flowers.
Guided by Xiao Zi, Hua Mi controlled the swarm of bees, heading straight towards that cluster of flowers.
This was an area they had never visited before.Witness the genesis of this narrative, streaming from Nøv€lß¡n★
With occasional stops along the way, the whole journey took a little over two hours, not too far.
Finally, they reached an area of canyons, with towering cliffs on both sides and a narrow passage covered in snow in the middle.
They flew all the way to the end of the canyon.
The space here was relatively spacious, with the cliffs receding inward, creating an open area.
According to Xiao Zi, this was where the Thousand Illusion Flowers grew.
During the flowering season, this place would be filled with psychedelic colors.
The unique fragrance of the flowers would attract many insects for feeding.
Of course, for now, it was just a vast expanse of snow.
Hua Mi landed, the snow reaching up to his calves.
First, he had to clear away this snow.
Hua Mi raised his arm.
Buzz
The fierce fire bee swarm rushed out from the sleeve of his black robe, swiftly arranging themselves into a formation in front of him.
"Whoosh!" The swarm ignited a pale flame, resembling a wall of fire slowly descending, gradually approaching the snow-covered ground.
The snow melted at a visible speed.
Soon, a large wet patch of ground was revealed.
Some remnants of the Thousand Illusion Flowers could be seen on the ground, but they had almost completely merged with the soil, making it hard to discern their original appearance.
Internal and external attacks.
Twice the zestiness.
The Gryphon had already lost its balance, falling headlong into the snowy ground, sliding for several meters before crashing into the cliff.
Thud!
A satisfying sound.
The swarm dispersed upon impact, then immediately regrouped, reorganizing their formation.
Seeing the Gryphon rolling in the snow, using it to extinguish most of the flames on its body, Hua Mi immediately controlled the swarm to reignite it.
In an instant, it turned into a ball of fire.
After a few back and forths, the Gryphon finally exhausted its vitality.
Thrashing in the snow, emitting a final mournful screech, it kicked its legs, fell to the ground, throwing up a flurry of snow.
Faced with such a fierce predator, Hua Mi couldn't afford to be complacent, controlling scouting bees to approach.
By now, all of its feathers had been charred, and its body emitted the smell of roasted meat.
Initially, he could still hear faint breathing and a heartbeat.
About a minute later, the Gryphon completely ceased movement.
Only then did Hua Mi approach.
Man, this thing was huge, lying on the ground like a small hill. He couldn't imagine how desperate an ordinary person would feel facing such a predatory bird.
Sharp claws, powerful muscles just as described in the books.
Indeed, it had lost one of its hind legs, and the wound seemed fresh, probably received not long ago.
Looking at the smooth and neat wound, it didn't seem like it was caused by tearing or biting.
Perhaps it was injured by some weapon or spell.
"Rarely do Gryphons come to the Black Forest. Is it lost
?" Xiao Zi peeked out, puzzled.
When a creature's habits suddenly change, it often means that its living environment has undergone some sort of change.
However, this wasn't something he should be concerned about.
Confirming the Gryphon's demise, Hua Mi returned to where he was before, continuing to dig for the seeds.
Thousand Illusion Flower seeds were relatively large, one seed equivalent to the size of two Feathered Dress Flower seeds.
The surface of the seed was smooth and plump, reflecting an iridescence under the sunlight.
In total, Hua Mi dug out about thirty odd seeds, not taking too many to leave some for this place.
The purpose of this trip had been achieved.
Plus, there was an unexpected gain.
Hua Mi stored the Gryphon's body in the magic box, intending to bring it back and toss it into the well in the greenhouse as fertilizer.
Took some time to outline things more finely. Just two chapters today, will make up for it another day~
