Chapter 352 Part Two: Magic Forest
From MC's Perspective:
Magic Forest,
I spent an hour investigating the surroundings. But apart from one or two rare herbs, I didn't find anything. Then I made up my mind to expand the search.
After a few minutes, I came across a narrow path. Looking at the path, I feel this path is not a naturally formed one. My eyes flickered with a slight glint.
"Perhaps, people used to walk along this path to collect resources," I muttered to myself. I have a vague feeling that this path will lead to some other resource area.
The more I think the more it feels real.
Swish!
Then I disappeared from my spot and followed the path.
A few minutes later,
I reached an area that is dense with vegetation. On the way, I didn't forget to scan the surroundings. When I got closer, I found the area was not looking ordinary.
"Forest," I mumbled under my breath.
The overgrown vegetation hindered the actual view. But now I'm looking at the several high green trees. What's more amazing is that I feel certain danger.
"What could be?" I said in my heart.
But guessing here would waste my time more. I have to enter the forest. Then after gaining some clarity, I walked forward slowly.
Densely packed poisonous vegetation covered the narrow path.
To clear this hurdle, I pointed my fingers and uttered, "Repulsive Force"
I slightly cast the spell. Right after, the repulsive force was released from my body. It quickly swept away the surrounding areas.
Small rocks, overgrown bushes, and other waste weeds completely disappeared.
Seeing the circular plain area around me. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I casually cast the spell but it immediately swept away everything.
Then I continue to cast the spell to clear the way ahead. Suddenly, a certain plant caught my attention. A Black dotted vine is coiled around the tree.
To confirm it, I walked a little bit closer.
"It's real," I uttered in surprise. Then looking at the vine again, a doubt flashed in my eyes.
I don't believe that it is completely safe to collect the magic plant. There must be some danger behind it.
My eyes then glanced at the bottom of the tree. I see no hole or hideout here. When I walked closer, I faced no attack.
"Hmmm, "I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I casually reached out to collect the black-dotted vine plant.
Swish!
I quickly grabbed it and took it away from the tree. Then I placed the black dotted vine in my storage ring. After collecting the vine, I retreated backward.
When my feet touched the ground. I finally realized there was no real danger here. If there is one black-dotted vine growing here.
Then it must be possible to find other black-dotted vines nearby.
After gaining some clarity, I moved to search the surroundings.
Shortly after,
I came across other black-dotted vines. After collecting it. I continued my search.
Meanwhile, Lara White moved to other places shortly after collecting the resources. While some of them inner house wizards are trapped near a black water swamp.
The place is causing trouble for the elemental wizards. To neutralize the poison, they need a potion for it. Not all of them came prepared for the trial.
When it comes to the black water swamp the place is causing even more danger.
"Quickly move away," One of the Inner House Wizards blurred out in fear.
His companion tries to flee from the black water swamp in a different direction. Some of them cast the fire magic spell in desperation.
But the magic spell was not enough to neutralize the poison.
Time passed,
Some of the Inner House Wizards escaped successfully. While one or two were still trapped by the plant monsters. It would be difficult to cut down every plant monster.
When the man inside their body reached low. The blue tattoo on their wrist lit up immediately. And they got teleported back to the special class.
Seeing the rest of the survivors' faces turned dark. Their disappearance made them understand one thing. Those people were now eliminated from the competition.
Apart from collecting resources, they should focus on avoiding stepping into danger.
Meanwhile,
Wizard Lion gave a recovery potion and healing potion to the wizards who teleported back. Seeing them, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
He knows these wizards came with a lack of preparation. Otherwise, it would have been easier for them to solve the difficulties.
"You guys can leave after taking the potion," Wizard Lion instructed them with a stern voice.
After saying that he shifted his attention back to the screen. Apart from Lara White and other few lucky people, the rest of the wizards find it hard to collect the listed resources.
Wizard Lion even doubted whether the list was too harsh for these young wizards. But he knows this was a normal task. The Mission Hall used to issue several missions like this.
Compared to those tasks, the current list was not that hard. Then his gaze turned toward the silhouette of Vincent Carey. Watching Vincent collecting the magic vine plants, a hint of appreciation flashes in his eyes.
He is happy that Vincent finally began to collect the resources. But the speed is not enough to compete with others.
Time passes in a blink of an eye,
The duration of the competition is only one day. After that everyone will be teleported back automatically.
Meanwhile,
Unknowingly, I reached the black water swamp. Seeing that my eyes flickered with a slight glint.
This place looked disturbed. Like someone had trespassed in this area. Then a look of understanding dawned upon me. Others might have come to this place.
Then I shifted my attention to the magic plants growing here. Soon I spotted the dark water lily ahead. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
Swish!
Then I immediately walked into the swamp. But soon I realized what was wrong with the place. "Poison," I mumbled under my breath.
The white mist covering this place is nothing but fully poisonous.
"Repulsive Force," I uttered.
A strong repulsive force repelled away the mist surrounding me. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "Nice opportunity," I said to myself.
Then I quickly moved to collect the magic plant dark water lily. After quickly placing the plant in my storage ring, I moved to collect other magic plants one by one.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After one hour, I collected more than 10 dark water lily magic plants. Then I glanced around to see whether there were any other magic plants around here.
Seeing that there was no more dark water lily. I decided to move away. But before doing that, I felt some changes in my body. What is it? A gloomy glint flashes in my eyes.
I know I'm repelling all this poisonous mist using the repulsive force magic spell. Then why the changes?
I decided to check my status.
"System, show my status panel," I said to the system.

A row of information appeared before my eyes. Then my eyes immediately scanned the details. I realized that Vitality has taken a hit. It must be due to this mist. There is some lingering poison in the air.
Fortunately, the status was not bad. Then I saw my mana power status. Which is not too low. After scanning the details once more, I close the status panel.
Meanwhile,
Wizard Lion's eyes widened in disbelief. He has watched how Vincent has cleared the poisonous mist all the way. "What kind of spell is that?" Lion's eyes flickered with a slight glint.
He knows Vincent is a gravity mage. But the spell he had cast this time looked completely different.
He was amazed by seeing such a destructive force. As a result, the dark water swamp was completely overturned. It would take some time for the poisonous mist to cover again.
When he calculated Vincent's collection. Wizard Lion realized it will be a matter of time before Vincent catches up with others.
