Chapter 275: Mountain Trail

Black Peaks is a large mountain range north of Black Rock City. There were many monsters there, and it bordered the wastelands. The tall terrain extended as far as the eye could see, separating Black Rock City from the wastelands.

Ye Cang’s party set out towards the north. The two pets appeared especially mighty. Little Ren acted as the manpower, pushing the handcart. The kagu bug Little Ration acted as Little Ye Tian’s mount. Wu Na occasionally saw some travellers along the roads, mostly travelling merchants and hunters.

They happened to meet a male travelling merchant carrying a large backpack, and heard him talk about a village west of the Black Point Mountain Range – Bal Village. He was going to trade at Black Rock City, and remind the people there that a village existed out in the mountains. Ye Cang looked through his goods. He was really interested in some it, especially a 10 centimeter wide mystery mushroom with a moss-green color. He tried identifying them.

Moss-green Fluorescent Ghost Mushrooms: A very precious fungus. Will emit a green glow at night, like a ghost. Add a tiny pinch into water and it will become extremely delicious soup, with a chance to obtain an intelligence or wisdom buff.

“How much for these mushrooms?” Ye Cang asked.

“If you want them, then 50 silver and give me some meat and two deep fried bugs. I have no idea what it is anyways. I happened to see it during my travels and picked it up. It should be pretty rare, but it could be poisonous.” The travelling merchant said noticing the kagu bugs in the handcart.

Ye Cang gave him 50 silver, then cut off a large piece of maggot flesh, and grabbed a few pieces of fried kagu bug, completing the transaction.

“Bro, what’s the mushroom?” Zhang ZhengXiong saw that Ye Cang was pretty happy.

“A delicious and rare food!” Ye Cang said, showing everyone the mushrooms description.

SpyingBlade sighed as he thought about Ye Cang’s cooking skill. A delicious ingredient could, in his hands, become a biological weapon.

“I really want to taste boss’s cooking…” Wang’s word made the mood suddenly drop. Wang noticed that the mood had become strange. What happened? Did I say something wrong?He looked around at the unhappy glares everyone was giving him.

“Who knew you were a foodie. Don’t worry, your wish will be fulfilled, but not right now. Maybe once we reach the mountains…” Ye Cang happily looked at OldWangFromNextDoor who was confused by everyone’s glares.

While chatting during their travels, they learned that Wang was a student at the Imperial City College. Lin Le was startled. “I knew it, you are also an art student…”

Wang looked over doubtfully. “Brother Le too?”

Wu Na butted in, “He doesn’t even know where his own classroom is…”

Wang hesitated before saying, “The counselor doesn’t say anything?”

“Nothing, brother Xiong had a chat with the counselor for me…” Lin Le smiled. Wang smartly chose not pursue the subject. Wu Na sighed. The so called ‘chat’ was clearly a threat.
