Many people may not be able to find ten in the Moonlight Forest even after searching for three to five days. It is such a waste of time.
Only first-class wizards would often take on this task. It was one of the few tasks that could earn magic stones, and it was also highly safe.
Herag continued to look through some information about dormant mushrooms, which usually grow 20 to 30 centimeters below the ground.
Veterans usually observe based on experience whether the ground is suitable for the growth of dormant mushrooms, and then dig up the ground to see if there are any dormant mushrooms.
The success rate of this method is not high, and even experienced users need to spend a lot of time.
"Maybe we can let Deep Blue try." After comprehensive consideration, Hellagur thought that this task would be more suitable for him.
You don't need to accept this quest. After picking the sleeping mushrooms, just go to the affairs hall to exchange them for magic stones.
After Herag made the decision, he began to prepare and needed to go to the flea market to buy some relevant things.
Moonlight Forest is located in the north of the northern forest area. It takes an hour to walk there, and only more than 20 minutes by carriage.
There is a post station at the intersection of the northern forest area. You can take a carriage to the Moonlight Forest. The fare is two silver coins. Official wizards can ride for free, but official wizards generally do not take carriages.
When Hellagur was waiting for the bus at the post station, he found that there were three other people waiting for the bus, all wearing wizard apprentice robes.
"Are you going to Moonlight Forest too?" After a brief silence, a fat wizard brought up the topic.
"Yes, I... it's my first time going there." A thin wizard apprentice said nervously.
After a brief introduction, the four of them became a little more familiar with each other.
The fat wizard is called McKen, the thin wizard is called Luka, and the other is called Sonny.
Mikan had been here three times and earned a total of one magic stone and some gold coins. The other two, like Herag, were here for the first time.
"After entering the Moonlight Forest, don't go too deep, just stay on the edge." McKen introduced.
"Why? The danger level of this mission should be quite low," Luka asked.
McKen explained, "The mission itself isn't dangerous, but there are not only monsters in the depths of the Moonlight Forest, but you might also encounter people from the Green Lodge."
"Green Hut? The Moonlight Forest is quite far away from them, so it should be difficult to encounter it." Luka said, recalling the terrain.
"The probability is indeed small, but someone once went too deep into the Green Hut and ran into someone there. He was tortured to death and his body was hung at the entrance to the Moonlight Forest." McKen said, his face filled with fear, as if he had experienced it himself.
Sonny then said, "That's indeed a possibility. People from Green Lodge will also come to Moonlight Forest to gather some resources, so it's better for us to keep a certain distance. We are all first-class wizard apprentices and can't go too deep."
Herag listened to them talking about this information and stood aside silently without saying anything.
He had known this information before; someone had mentioned it in the Chat Bar.
After a few people talked for a while, the carriage finally arrived.
The horse pulling the carriage was a monster hybrid called Hellfoot, with flames on its hooves, and it was very fast.
The carriages in Moonlight Glade have no driver. Hellfoot will pull the carriage back and forth on a fixed route, and then return to the stables to rest when it gets dark.
The space inside the carriage is not big and can accommodate six people.
Hellfoot looked back and after confirming that Hellager and the others were on the bus, he started running. The flaming horse hooves left some burnt marks as they ran past, and there were many such footprints on this road.
It was early morning now, and Herag and the others needed to hurry and come back before sunset.
No matter where you are, the forest at night is always extremely dangerous.
More than twenty minutes later, the four got off the bus at the post station at the entrance of Moonlight Forest.
When the Hell Foot arrives at the post station, it will stop here for a while, and then continue forward after no one gets off.
The trees in the Moonlight Forest are very thick and tall, and you can tell at a glance that they have been growing for many years.
There are usually dense low shrubs distributed under the trees, and there are some clearly shaped paths at the entrance, which are traces of people walking on it for many years.
If you walk a little further in, you can't see the road at all. It's very difficult to walk through such a jungle.
Hellagur was prepared again, drawing the sword from his waist and clearing the way as he walked.
He picked a direction and started searching. The other three did the same. They each picked a direction and started searching for sleeping mushrooms.
"Deep Blue, start scanning the underground, target the sleeping mushrooms." Herag gave the order, asking Deep Blue to scan the surroundings.
After his physical data improved, Deep Blue's scanning range expanded to 250 meters.
Sleeping mushrooms are usually located 20 to 30 centimeters below the ground, which is completely sufficient.
The surface of the sleeping mushroom is covered with a special substance that can shield against magic, but it has no effect on deep blue.
"The sleeping mushroom has been found, and the location has been marked in red." Deep Blue gave a prompt before Herag had taken a few steps.
In Hellagur's field of vision, a few meters ahead, underground, there was a red, spindle-shaped mushroom.
Herag took out the shovel from the space ring and started digging at the designated location.
He was very careful when digging because he knew that the mushroom was too close to the ground and if he was not careful, the dormant mushroom might be destroyed.
A few minutes later, Hellagur saw the head of the sleeping mushroom.
The sleeping mushroom has no cap and is purple all over.
Herag cleared the soil around the sleeping mushroom along its location, and then easily dug it out.
The first sleeping mushroom is obtained.
Herag continued to move forward. With Deep Blue's assistance, he could save a lot of observation time.
The ground is covered with so much low grass and trees that even for an experienced person, it would take a lot of time just to observe.
Five minutes later, Hellagur stopped and Deep Blue found another sleeping mushroom.
In just one morning, Hellagur found sixteen sleeping mushrooms.
He looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he took some dry food and ate a little before continuing to search for sleeping mushrooms.
It was not until the light in the Moonlight Forest dimmed that Herag looked up and realized that it was already evening.
He counted his harvest and found a total of fifty-five dormant mushrooms.
There was dew and a lot of leaves hanging on his body, and there was a lot of dirt on his trouser legs.
Herag wiped the sweat from his forehead and started walking outside. He had been moving around the outskirts of the Moonlight Forest and did not go deep into it. It only took him about ten minutes to reach the entrance.
Walking in the forest is very tiring. After being busy all day, Herag felt a little tired.
He was the first one to come out, and after a while the other three came out one after another.
These three people looked even more miserable than him, especially McKen, who was already quite fat and was now covered in sweat, with his robe soaked.
"How much have you dug?" McKen said weakly.
"Two." Luka said.
Sonny said, "Two."
Mikan took a breath. "I only found three. I'm exhausted. Hellagur, how about you?"
