Chapter 4 Wasteland Outpost!
rustling-
A faint friction sound came from three directions.
It was very sudden, as if we had been waiting for it for a long time.
Shen Mo listened to the sound and thought it sounded a bit like a snake-like magical beast.
But he didn't detect a heartbeat or smell any snakes...
Therefore, he immediately retreated while holding his sword, circulating his internal magic power to prepare for a Sky-Piercing Slash.
The next moment, three gray-green vines sprouted from the grass.
It flew towards Shen Mo at incredible speed.
While still in the air, the dense bulges on the surface of the vines opened up.
It revealed rows of dense, sharp thorns, like the jaws of a shark.
"Sharktooth Vine!"
Shen Mo immediately recognized the demonic plant that had attacked him.
This special magical plant feeds on flesh-and-blood creatures.
They typically grow in lush vegetation.
When prey passes by, it will launch a surprise attack.
The Shark Tooth Vine moves with barely a sound, yet at incredible speed, making it difficult for most people to react.
But it couldn't escape Shen Mo's superhuman senses.
When Shen Mo calmed down and looked at the Shark Tooth Vine.
The three vines, having failed in their encirclement attempt, lashed out at Shen Mo.
However, the vines seemed to move much slower in Shen Mo's eyes.
Then...
Swish! ! !
With a flash of light, Shen Mo severed the three flying shark tooth vines in one fell swoop with a low sweeping slash.
At the smooth cut, brownish-green juice oozes out like blood.
The shark teeth swayed and danced wildly.
As if frightened, they retreated in the direction they had come from.
Three sections of vines of varying lengths remained motionless on the ground.
"Just like a snake..."
Shen Mo felt a strange sensation in his heart.
After collecting the three sections of broken vine.
The location of the shark tooth vine can be traced by the direction in which the vine retreats, the sound it makes as it moves, and the smell of the spilled sap.
The danger level of the shark tooth vine is linked to the number of vines.
This Sharktooth Vine has only three vines, and the Black Iron Witcher is capable of hunting it alone.
The sap and roots of the Sharktooth Vine are valuable potion ingredients!
Far surpasses the vast majority of monsters of the same level!
With his innate ability to sense all five senses, Shen Mo quickly pinpointed the location of the Shark Tooth Vine's roots and the attack range.
The rest is simple.
Shen Mo controlled the distance well, cutting off the attacking vines time and time again, and kept getting closer to the Shark Tooth Vine.
After about ten minutes, we finally found the root of the shark tooth vine next to a tree.
After cutting down and putting away the writhing vines, Shen Mo was about to take out his tools to dig up the roots of the shark tooth vine.
Their ears were keen enough to pick up the conversation coming from hundreds of meters away.
"Almost there, just ahead!"
"Is that the Black Sand River ahead?"
"Is there any danger?"
"Don't worry, there's no danger. Otherwise, how would I have escaped back!"
"With your amateurish skills... how many times have you applied for the trial already?"
......
Listening to the conversation of the four people, and looking at the roots of the Shark Tooth Vine in front of him, Shen Mo couldn't help but frown.
He had reason to believe that the four men were after the shark tooth vine.
Although he didn't want to lose his prey, Shen Mo also didn't want to run into those four people.
Taking out a dagger, Shen Mo roughly tore away the soil around the roots of the Shark Tooth Vine, breaking many of its roots in the process.
When those people were less than a hundred meters away, Shen Mo grabbed the half-dug root and pulled it out like a radish...
With soft cracking sounds, some lateral roots broke off.
However, the main root was pulled out relatively intact.
The Tier 1 monster "Shark Tooth Vine" has been added to your roster, rewarding you with 1 point of Constitution attribute enhancement!
[You have hunted 1 Shark Tooth Vine, rewarding you with 1 skill enhancement point!]
......
"Eh~ Can Shark Tooth Vine be included too?"
The Demon Hunter's Handbook notification rang in Shen Mo's ears, bringing him unexpected joy.
He never expected that magical plants could be included.
But then I thought about it again, and magical beasts, magical plants, and demons can all be considered magical creatures.
The witcher who enhances himself with magic, and the fallen witcher...
Shen Mo forcibly interrupted the thoughts in his mind.
Moreover, now is not the time to explore or add points.
After carefully wrapping the shark tooth vine roots and stuffing them into his backpack, Shen Mo glanced in the direction the four had come from.
The dense jungle obscured their view.
But the five senses superpower allows Shenmo to always lock onto the target's location.
The four people continued to grope their way towards him, unaware of his presence.
Seeing this, Shen Mo chose a direction to avoid the group.
Under normal circumstances, the demon hunters of the Divine Continent Alliance would not easily provoke conflicts with others.
The reason for this is not because the Witcher is of particularly high quality.
It's because the Demon Hunter Association has magical equipment that can detect lies and reveal the truth.
These magical suits are primarily used to verify the authenticity of a witcher's mission.
However, in certain situations... such as during promotion assessments, it is also used to check the mental health status of Witchers.
Witchers can not only absorb magic to strengthen themselves.
He also frequently ventures into wastelands, demon realms, and even the abyss, encountering all sorts of monsters.
They are more likely to degenerate into demons than ordinary people.
That's why the Witcher Association uses this method to evaluate Witchers.
Of course, this method is not a panacea.
For some powerful warriors or spellcasters, the effect is a matter of opinion.
More often, it targets the large number of low-level witchers, who vary greatly in skill level.
Therefore, the Shenzhou Alliance stipulates that the investigation results of such equipment cannot be used as evidence to punish the target...
In addition, another reason is related to the Holy Church...
Of course, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest.
Some people don't take this seriously.
Shen Mo had heard plenty of stories about disputes and even infighting over certain special items...
Hearing the curses coming from behind him, Shen Mo chuckled and quickly moved through the jungle.
Because I remember the way.
It took Shen Mo more than three hours to arrive.
It only took two hours to leave the Demon Realm.
Upon entering the wasteland again, Shen Mo felt that the air was much fresher.
I took out a map and confirmed the location of the nearest outpost.
It took Shen Mo more than an hour to reach the nearest outpost.
The outpost, numbered MG-S-3, is located on a low hill south of Dusk Valley City.
There is a watchtower on the mountaintop, and several bunkers on the mountainside.
The shadows of gun barrels and cannon barrels can be seen in them.
Although the power of firearms is greatly reduced in the Demon Realm, they are completely unusable in the Abyss.
However, it still retains some power in the wasteland, capable of killing low-level monsters and demon hunters.
In the Pure Land, they are basically unaffected, serving as a guarantee of safety and order in each Pure Land.
This is one of the reasons why, despite possessing extraordinary powers, witchers are still unable to dominate human society...
The entrance to the outpost is located at the foot of the mountain.
It was a recessed corridor, about twenty meters deep, at the end of which was a thick, solid steel gate.
There were people camping outside the corridor.
There were young people as well as middle-aged and elderly people, and their weapons and equipment were all quite ordinary.
Seeing Shen Mo approaching fully armed, some people's eyes darted around, sizing him up; others hurriedly gave way; and still others cowered and went forward to beg...
Shen Mo ignored these people and walked to the guardhouse deep in the corridor.
Gun barrels immediately peered out of the narrow window of the guardhouse, and one of them asked:
"stay?"
"Yes!"
Shen Mo nodded and took out a metal box from his backpack.
He then took out his Dusk Valley City ID and fifty Alliance Coins.
He stuffed everything, including the weapons and backpack, through a small window, saying:
"A standard room is fine."
