Chapter 121: Fog (1/2)

Alex found himself unable to come up with any other topics to talk about at the moment so he decided to stay quiet. The rest of the journey was filled with nothing but the sound of wind hitting their ears.

Alex just took in the feeling of flying, something that was impossible to do in real life, and got happy. It took them about 2 hours just to fly to their destination.

Not only was the destination deep into the southern forest, but it was also far away from the scarlet city, so they had to take a much longer path than what others would have.

”Here we are,” said Wen Cheng as he looked ahead.

Alex stuck out his neck to the side to see what was in front. To his shock, in the middle of the unending forest, there was a massive area filled with fog that was very unusual for the forest.

'Why is there fog in the middle? Is there a body of water nearby?' he wondered.

As he got near, however, his body shook. 'This!!' he was truly shocked this time. The fog he was seeing in front of him, wasn't actually a fog made out of water vapor. It was actually a fog made up of purely Qi.

'How much Qi will I be able to gather if I cultivate here?' he wondered. Just before they reached the fog, however, the group of 7 dropped to the ground.

”This is the place I talked about, Yu Ming. Ahead is a land filled with Qi, so the vegetation that grows here should be mostly alchemy ingredients. I as well as a few other elders come here once in a while to gather some ingredients, but we don't have a lot of knowledge about the ingredients, so we only take what we know is an ingredient and leave the rest to grow. ”

”Thankfully, people don't visit the southern forest a lot, and this location is very unknown.” Wen Cheng said. He took out a handful of empty storage bags and handed it to Alex.

”Take these bags. You will go inside to collect the ingredients. This area is safe, so you don't have to worry about monsters here at all. I don't know how long it will take you, but just go at your own pace. Us elders will go around the fog to protect you from monsters just in case they come from the outside.”

”Still, if there are some inside, your escape technique should be enough for you.”

”Alright, go now and gather everything you can. At least fill all of these storage bags, you should be able to do that, right?” Wen Cheng answered.

”If there are indeed ingredients inside, then that should be no problem,” Alex said.

”Alright, go and do your task. We will do ours.”
