Although the time after the trial had already reached 12 noon, naturally a good Sunday could not be wasted for no reason. Jiao Ke sent a message to Judai to say goodbye according to the original plan, and left the hotel with Wang Jiang.
In addition to participating in the league to win rankings and improving his life with bonuses, there are other important things that must be taken care of during this trip.
That is to let the elves who are going crazy with idleness find a place to let themselves go.
So Jock walked alone into the mountains near Tongshiye, visiting the popular attractions next to him, as well as the "Star Gazing Stream" duel school on the top of the mountain.
However, the temperature in early January was already hovering around 0 degrees Celsius, and the weather in Tongshiye was changeable due to its location at the seaside. A large amount of water vapor gradually condensed into crystals under the influence of the cold current.
Not long after entering the mountain, Jiao Ke encountered a heavy snowfall. According to Wang Jiang's prediction, the snow might last for a whole day.
Fortunately, Wang Jiang's spell provided him with protection. Even in the heavy snow, he felt as warm as indoors. Finally, he had to regret going home as soon as he went out.
Traveling in the deep mountains on a snowy day has its own unique charm. This natural tranquility and change are a rare experience for urbanites who live in the steel jungle and are busy and mediocre every day.
That's if he doesn't get lost.
"Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
After deviating from the road for three hours, and wandering in the deep mountains to an unknown place, Jock sat down on a tree stump in confusion and took out the sightseeing map and compass he bought before setting off.
"I obviously followed the map, why can't I get back to the main road?"
Even if he takes out the map... But to be honest, Jock has no idea where he is now. If it weren't for the compass, he wouldn't even be able to find north!
Wang Jiang lay happily on the side, silently watching Jock's "eager" expression on the map, without telling him that they had just missed the road up the mountain half an hour ago.
Anyway, this trip itself is just to have fun and relax, it doesn't care where the fun comes from.
The elves unanimously agreed that Jock should be allowed to find the way with his own "sense of direction", although they all doubted whether Jock had this thing.
"You're still laughing. We agreed to come out and do some trouble together, but you ended up making fun of me first, right?" Qiao Ke threw the map aside with abandon and lay on the tree stump in pain, "Wang Jiang, be honest. Tell me, did you use magic to disrupt my sense of direction, or did you use illusion to lead me in the wrong direction?"
When Wang Jiang heard this, he immediately sat up straight and showed a very serious look, but he couldn't hide his wagging tail: "No, no, no, I don't need to do those things. Anyway, Qiao Qiao, you are the same person. Crazy, when we were exploring the map on the island, we relied on Xiao Jin, Xiao Yin and me to find our way."
"Why couldn't I stop believing your nonsense and go on a hike in the mountains..."
Wang Jiang tilted his head and thought for a while before spitting out: "Because I said you can find the materials used to make duel disks on the mountain?"
"Why is it a question...so have you found it?"
Jock said as he looked at the backpack for children on Wang Jiang's back. It seemed to be bulging and he didn't know what it contained. It looked like he had indeed found a lot of magic materials.
Speaking of which, can the materials needed for magic items in the elven world be found in the human world?
"No, there are no magic materials in it." Xu guessed what Qiao Qiao was thinking. Wang Jiang shook his head solemnly, "There are some wild vegetables, wild mushrooms and other side dishes in it, as well as a hare. If Qiao Qiao you thoroughly These will keep you alive if you get lost."
"Tsk, you still plan to let me waste away in the wilderness. Besides, even if I don't have any survival experience, I don't know how to bring enough dry food for a week before going into the mountains. You guys don't trust my direction so much, I feel like I will Lost forever?"
And this Dafa dog actually still forgot his old skills and caught a rabbit? Don't look back when your backpack is filled with blood and rabbit entrails.
Wang Jiang remained silent, but at this moment, silence was better than sound.
"Okay, actually I brought enough dry food for a week because I thought my sense of direction was unreliable." Jock had to accept the reality, "But don't just watch me and take me to the road at nightfall!"
While talking, Jiao Ke took off Wang Jiang's backpack and looked through it: "Let me see what food you have collected?"
Various wild vegetables with a fresh earthy smell, as well as wild mountain fungi that are not dangerous in terms of color. Oh, Jock even found a burdock plant inside.
Then he dug out a living rabbit in his backpack. Even after Jock took it out, the rabbit was foaming at the mouth and looking at him in his hand!
But taking a closer look, this unlucky rabbit seemed to be unconscious at all. He could not move and only continued to breathe.
"This rabbit is still alive. You must have cast a spell on it, right? Let me guess... a spell such as suggestion or attribute absorption. In short, it is probably enchantment, illusion or necromancy school, right?"
Wang Jiang swung his tail around in the snow, looking very proud: "It's just a "sleep spell". This rabbit is not worthy of letting me use a level 1 or above arcane spell." "
Don’t you still know how to use this? Jock secretly complained in his heart. You said you didn’t even learn the enchantment-type dog?
"But I can't eat this..." After playing with it for a while, Jock stuffed the rabbit directly back into his backpack. "Most animals in the wild have various bacteria and parasites. If they are not treated well, they will cause various problems. In the end, In severe cases, you may suffer from diarrhea and dehydration and die outside.”
And the rabbit is just like that when eaten roasted. To eat it seriously, it has to be spicy rabbit head.
After a while, Jock pulled out another heavy stone from his backpack.
"What is this stone? The pattern on the surface is quite nice, somewhat in line with fractal geometry, but after all, it's just an ordinary stone, right?"
"Oh, that's what I plan to use when I go back to press pickles. The pattern is quite pretty, isn't it?" Wang Jiang gestured with his paws a few times in the air, "This pattern is exactly the same as arcane geometry. It can be said to be a coincidence of nature. Even if it cannot be used as a spell material, it still has a certain collection value."
Jiao Ke stuffed the stone back into his backpack with a slight disappointment, and hung the backpack back on Wang Jiang: "I thought you would say this is also food."
Wang Jiang did not seem to have collected any magic materials in his backpack.
However, Jock is not discouraged. Although his skin is a little rough, his elf is still quite reliable.
Since Wang Jiang said that he can find the materials for making duel disks from the wild, he may really be able to discover the unknown effects of some common materials...
