Chapter 299: Spreading like flames

Chapter 299: Spreading like flames

When I listened to the conversation behind me, I nearly burst out laughing.

Time to go and begin my journey of gains! As long as I got enough Flame God Wood, I would then smash the Flash Spirit Talisman that Senior Sister gave me to complete this quest! Oh right, I didn't get a quest this time. I just purely wanted to collect materials myself!

...

Right at that moment, I picked up a weird scent. I raised my head and saw a human-height tree. The entire tree was translucent and streaks of light wrapped around it. The veins on the leaf gave out a flame light and there were also fruits on it which glowed too. It was the one that gave off the scent.

I looked closely and with Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, the stats jumped out--

Bright Fire Date: Precious herb, after eating, can expand lifespan. The Player's hunger level will increase to 100% and last for 72 hours.

...

Good stuff!

My heart shook. This was a treasure. Each day when players were online, they had hunger values. If one didn't eat for too long, one's stamina and combat strength would be affected. Most players would eat a few pieces of bread while talking to NPCs. There was a high-class culinary shop in Linchen County and players just subconsciously ate in game to maintain their life force.

But the moment it reached the mid to late game to the country war segment, the hunger setting would become more obvious. In Destiny, the various guild players would worry about grain because players could bring a limited amount of food. This was why there were grain transport squads. But the fact that this Bright Fire Date could last for 72 hours, one could ensure that one wouldn't be hungry for pretty much 4 days and nights.

All of a sudden, I was tempted. I started to pick Bright Fire Date and after which I tossed them into my bag. I picked roughly 100+ of them and the entire tree was bald.

"Sorry sorry~~"

I cupped my fists and continued forwards. A few steps later I saw that there were snow white trees that were half a human tall. I looked close and with Shifang Flame Spiral Eye, their stats were on full display--

Thousand Frost Silver Leaf: Heaven-quality herb and can help revive the dead and grow flesh from bones. It was said that one piece of the leaf was worth one sachet of gold.

...

One leaf was a sachet of gold?UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

My mind buzzed and went blank. This was a really good thing. As compared to the Bright Fire Date, that was so much weaker!

Thus, I pulled out my dagger and dug carefully. I pulled out a Thousand Frost Silver Leaf tree along with the dirt and then placed it into my bag. Instantly, an entire Thousand Frost Silver Leaf Tree appeared in my bag.

Nice!

Take them all. This treasure was too rare and it might be of some use in the future. I would apply for a patch from Senior Sister Yun and plant it myself. Maybe I can become a rich herb god!

Just like that, I took away a total of 19 Thousand Frost Silver Leaf and kept them. I spent so much to get here so if I didn't get greedy, how would I earn back my fee? Moreover, Fire Demon Witch was Black Castle's enemy so how could stealing an enemy's item be called stealing? It was called catching them off guard!

...

Ten minutes later, one last Flame God Wood was left.

"Why not leave her one?"

I was in deep thought. It was too heartless to take them all. She nurtured them for so long and now if none of them were left, she would be so sad. Although she was a Dimension Legion Lord but I understood how she felt. 3 years ago, Ah Fei and I drank with a few girls and Ah Fei got them all. I did feel this much despair too.

"Forget it, I shall leave one for her!"

I sucked in a deep breath and took out Flash Spirit Talisman and prepared to crush it.

But at that moment, the wind broke through the air and I couldn't react at all. A furious roar spread into my ears, "Thorns!"

"Shua shua shua~~"

Thorns shot out from the ground and wrapped around my body. A system notification rang in my ears--

"Ding!"

System notification: Please note, you are in an abnormal state and can't use Flash Spirit Talisman!

...

Damn!

I was noticed! I was caught!

"Sha sha..."

Behind me, flames exploded and a beautiful body walked forwards slowly. Her snow legs were long and her stomach was flat. Flames wrapped around her chest armor and she had a beautiful face that was now filled with rage. She held a fire wrapped long sword and stared at me.

I looked, who else was it... Fire Demon Witch-- Soora!

"Look what you have done!

She was furious and looked at the mess in her garden. Hatred squeezed through the gaps in her mouth, "You are so bold, you actually dare to run here to steal things?"

My body was wrapped by flame thorns and I couldn't move. I kept Flash Spirit Talisman into my bag and said seriously, "Soora you can tell that I am an Assassin. My job is to steal, you can suspect my character but not my job."

She was stunned. She raised her sword, "You still dare to argue, do you believe that I will kill you!"
