————————————
Different from the dense forests near Naxikai, the mountain forests here are slightly sparse and mixed with many coniferous plants, which are typical northern plants. It actually made Lu Yuan more certain of his location, which was indeed north of Baldur's Gate.
Although the path is narrow, it also has obvious signs of being repaired. It was obviously built deliberately along the mountainside. Walking among sparse shrubs and stones, Lu Yuan looked thoughtfully at the forest at the foot of the mountain - the path was built far away from the forest, obviously to avoid dangers in the forest. I wonder what is there?
"Huh?" Lu Yuan, who had already walked down the path, ran back along the path. He pulled up his robe and got into a patch of tall grass, running towards the depths. Through the long grass you can see. Three to five hundred steps away from the trail, near the foot of the mountain. There is a small tree growing alone. The tree is only as tall as a person and as thick as a child's wrist. Lu Yuan looked at it up and down as if he were seeing a treasure.
"Is this the compensation Nana gave me?" Lu Yuan rubbed his hands and said happily. Someone from the Kingdom of God turned his head guiltily and pretended not to hear. I kicked too hard. Would Nana-chan talk about this kind of thing everywhere?
He looked at it for a long time and patted it with his hand? The system is not responding. Is the identification technique photographed? Still no response.
"I swear by the level of my wood carving skills, there is definitely something wrong with this tree!"
Lu Yuan carefully checked the surrounding ground. As expected, just as the legend said, there was no grass growing within a few steps. Moreover, the glance he had just seen on the high slope had been recorded in his head, so it was definitely correct. The tree is incredibly straight, with the core in the middle as straight as a vertical line.
Although he didn't identify it, Lu Yuan still used his strength and tightly grasped the roots of the small tree with both hands. If you pull it out, it’s not the same, but if you can’t pull it out, it’s not! This is the best way to identify dragon's foot wood! I think my current strength of up to 17 is just uprooting a small tree! I pull out... I pull out again...
Huh~huh~, it’s really dragon’s foot wood! Hahaha, good luck, and so is Nana. Now the staff is here!
In fact, this dragon's foot tree is not a very precious tree. It is just a question of whether it is suitable for use or not. The trunk and roots of the dragon's foot tree are extremely tough and elastic, and its root system is extremely developed. Thousands of fibrous roots are like thousands of small hands grasping the earth. Even if it is such a small tree that is about twenty years old, even a mountain giant would not be able to pull it down. As the proverb goes – “Hold tight as a dragon’s foot tree!”
Dragon's foot tree grows slowly, but because it is straight. It is also very permeable and is an excellent material for making staffs in the North. certainly. Only small living trees that are twenty or thirty years old are suitable, after they have grown too thick. Even if you cut it down and take out the heart of the tree, it is not much different from ordinary wood.
Since he couldn't pull it out, Lu Yuan didn't waste his efforts. He dug out most of the roots of the tree, leaving only the big roots he wanted to use. He cut off the rest with his sword and trimmed off the branches and tree tips. After a while, he got a A hand-held staff with tree roots. This kind of tree has extremely strong vitality. Even if the roots of the tree are cut off and all the branches are chopped off, it is still alive and can last for hundreds of years. With the nourishment of magical power, it will live longer. Only by living The wand is more effective.
When Lu Yuan gets a better staff in the future, he can just remove the inlaid gems, insert them into the soil and pour some alchemy potion on them, and these dragon's foot trees will continue to grow happily. Many mages have a dragon's foot tree of many years in their residence. Most of them were grown from their first staff.
"Ha!" He took the trimmed cane and played a few tricks with the Shaolin stick, making a pose of "Er Lang carrying the mountain". I don’t know what kind of scene I can refer to in The Matrix during the fight between Neo and his stick.
Something jumped out from the woods behind him, "Woo~!" Then there was a sound of wind behind his head, and something fiercely attacked the back of his head. Lu Yuan was surprised. There was a distance of more than ten meters from the woods to behind him, and he didn't have time to turn around. What could be so sensitive? ! He rolled forward, dodged the big claw thrust into his head, and looked back.
The creature that attacked him was three meters tall, with green skin, a stooped body, a bony figure, and slender limbs. Its two almost two-meter-long forearms and claws almost hung to the ground, and it could stand on all fours at any time and display lightning speed. It has a ferocious big head. In addition to the sharp nose that sticks out like a dagger, there are also big teeth that are still flowing with mucus and open the mouth. Stick demon? Image your sister! This is obviously a forest troll!
"Come on, you silly guy!" Lu Yuan turned his finger, and the newly made staff disappeared, and he was just provoking with his bare hands. One troll was not a threat yet. What he was worried about was not to delay too long and more forest trolls would gather.
A fierce light flashed in the forest troll's small eyes, and he squatted down with all his strength and pounced on Lu Yuan with all his strength. Its sharp teeth bit into Lu Yuan's head. At the same time, an extremely sharp and harsh wind sounded, and a huge claw He picked it up close to the ground and wanted to disembowel Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan glared, leaned forward and bumped into the troll. With a slight jump, he crossed the troll's claws and came to the front of the troll, making it empty. At this time, Lu Yuan's entire body was covered by the troll's figure, almost as if he had slipped into the arms of the forest troll. The troll grabbed it with both arms inward, opened its mouth and bit again.
"Ah~~!!" Lu Yuan's not-so-strong body roared like a dragon, and with the roar, a bright moonlight lit up. "呲啷"! The sound of splitting bones and flesh made people's teeth sore, and the light of the new sword disappeared in a flash. Lu Yuan held the "Lake Light" sword that suddenly appeared in his hands, passing through the green rain of blood, and slashed the forest giant with one sword. The devil split into two!
The big claw that was chopped off was still jumping on the ground. The troll cut in half in the middle was not dead. The flesh buds still growing on the wound seemed to want to grow a new troll. "One becomes two." indivual". Lu Yuan used his internal force to form a protective film on his body, preventing corrosive blood from splashing on his clothes. After the blood falling on the ground emitted white smoke and squeaked for a while, and the corrosiveness of the blood had evaporated, he walked back and burned the forest troll's body to ashes with his burning hands - otherwise it might really be true. will grow into two. The troll's regeneration ability is really too strong.
"Ouch~ow~" There was a shadow shaking in the woods, and it seemed that a new forest troll came following the smell.
Lu Yuan swung the mage's robe coolly, pinned the hem to his belt, and ran away as fast as he could. (To be continued...)
