Rise of the Plants

After walking along the path for a day, the distance I walked was not as good as the previous half-day walk. If it weren't for the fact that the horses were bought, Chi Nan would have thought it would be easier to release the horses and walk inside by himself.

All three men got off the horses at this time and walked on their own, pulling the horses. Sometimes, it is necessary to control plants to clear some roads, or to fill the holes under the feet, so that the horses can walk through smoothly.

The roads on both sides were full of thorns and vines. If Chi Nan had not been able to control them, the horses would have been covered in wounds. Even so, Chi Nan still sometimes failed to control it in time, resulting in wounds on the horses. Even the bald father and one leg were not intact, but had several holes.

The only one who was intact was Chi Nan. Only now did Chi Nan discover the concept of not being actively attacked by plants.

When those thorn bushes come into contact with him, the thorn bushes will automatically shrink back, and the spikes on them will instantly become less sharp. When it comes into contact with the skin, a little life magic will burst out on your own skin.

The thorn vines that come into contact with the magic power of life will deform at an extremely fast speed to avoid hurting themselves. Therefore, when we got to this place, Chi Nan's clothes were not even scratched. This was really a miracle.

On the way, Chi Nan kept asking the two people for various wilderness experiences, which he lacked. There are also some fighting skills, and sometimes I will practice a few times with the bald dad.

But Chi Nan also discovered that his physical fitness seemed to be too good. Even though his skills were far inferior to those of the bald father, he was still stronger than his opponent. It turns out that before I knew it, I was already so powerful. However, Chi Nan practiced these exercises just to better adapt to combat and avoid being attacked by surprise. He never thought of using them.

Just like that, three full days later, the three people finally walked out of the path. As one leg said, this place is really not suitable for wild orcs to move, so they didn't encounter any trouble at all.

Not to mention the wild orcs, even the animals have not encountered a bigger one. Chi Nan controlled the plants and only caught some pheasants, rabbits and the like, but he also improved their food.

"Sir, please look, the red mountain in front is Hongshi Mountain. Hongsha Town is at the foot of Hongshi Mountain. We still have one day to go." Suddenly, a leg pointed in the distance and said.

Chi Nan looked up and saw that there was indeed a red mountain in the distance. It should be said that it was a very huge mountain range. There was a corner here, and then it continued to penetrate into the distance without being traced. There were dense forests everywhere.

"This mountain is called Hongshi Mountain because it is red, so what about Hongsha Town? Is it also red?"

One Leg nodded: "Your Majesty is right, Hongsha Town is indeed red. There is red sand everywhere inside and outside the town. In this kind of land, ordinary crops cannot grow at all, so very little food is produced. . If there weren’t many people in Hongsha Town, I’m afraid this land wouldn’t be able to support so many people.”

As the saying goes, red land is the worst land, and it seems that this is true. It's just that such a big mountain is red, which is very strange. Is the red color due to the relatively high iron ore content?

"If there were really a large amount of iron ore here, it would be very developed." In such a backward area, Chi Nan knew what an iron ore meant. No one needed to tell Chi Nan. If there is an iron mine, Chi Nan is sure to turn Hongsha Town into a prosperous place, just relying on the ore vein is enough. However, this is not what Chi Nan thought.

Forget it, let’s wait until it’s over. As the three people got closer and closer to Hongsha Town, there was indeed more and more red soil on the ground. And the surrounding vegetation is getting less and less.

Originally there were dense impassable roads in this place, but with the invasion of red sand and soil, the plants here have become impassable, and it is no problem to run a horse-drawn carriage directly. On the wide road, there are fewer and fewer plants, as well as some stones on the ground, all telling Chinan how barren this place is.

There are only some bare and exposed areas of yellow soil, with some plants planted here and there. Chi Nan learned from the bald father's mouth that this was the commonly eaten plant Black Valley in this world.

The plant grows a large black seed that, when mature, produces a spherical hard shell in which the seed is contained. This kind of black grain is used to make black bread, which is as hard as a stone.

I really don’t understand. There is obviously top-quality natural flour, but they don’t know how to use it, and they insist on eating this kind of thing. Moreover, neither the polishing nor the manufacturing skills are up to par, and I don’t know how to improve it.

Looking at the crops grown, one can also see that their cultivation level is not very good. The plant branches are dense in some places and sparse in others, as if they were planted casually in this place and left alone. If there weren't very few bugs that would harm crops like black grain, they might end up with no harvest.

How lazy is this? You would rather starve to death with nothing to eat than know how to improve planting methods.

Chi Nan patted his head: "Do people in this world focus on playing around?"

Chi Nan didn't know that the reason why those farmers didn't take care of these crops was because they had other things to do, and they needed to use other methods to collect food to ensure that they would not be killed.

After walking for a whole day again, we could already see the red sand ridge in the distance in Chinan. There is only a fence around it, and there are human buildings far away across the fence. It's far away and can't be seen clearly.

"Sir, let's camp here and rest for the night. I'll go investigate the situation."

"You'd better wait. Your legs and feet are not strong. At the critical moment, you still have to look to the old man. It's not like I don't know how to deal with these survey matters. Don't worry, there will be no problem."

The bald dad held down one of his legs, and then quickly ran towards the opposite side. Chi Nan watched the bald father leave, and then, together with One Leg, built a temporary residence in this place. The residence is behind a big tree to prevent being discovered. The fire was also blocked by a big tree and could never be seen from the direction of the town.

"You are really cautious. This is experience. You must write it down and learn from it later." Chi Nan silently absorbed some of the sparks of wisdom that the two people inadvertently exuded, and slowly made up for his own shortcomings.
