Chapter 19 Wild Wormwood
Soon after.
The waiter brought the food and wine to the table.
Because Zao Wuji had something on his mind, he said nothing during the meal and immersed himself in the meal at the dinner table.
Shao Xin put all his thoughts on Oscar and did not notice anything unusual about Zhao Wuji.
However, Oscar noticed a strange atmosphere at the dinner table, but due to the limitations of his age and experience, he didn't know why.
The three of them finished their dinner in a hurry and went back to the hotel room to sleep.
……
The second day.
Lin Rong and his party entered the Star Dou Forest in the Tiandou Empire, while Oscar and the others entered the Star Dou Forest in the Balak Kingdom.
The Star Dou Forest is located directly south of the Tiandou Empire, and the Balak Kingdom is to the southeast.
The Tiandou Empire is connected to the territory of the Balak Kingdom.
Therefore, the locations of Lin Rong and Oscar in the Star Forest generally belong to the same area.
But even so, given the vastness of the Star Dou Forest, the distance between them is at least seven or eight hundred kilometers.
Normally, Lin Rong and his party would not encounter Oscar and the others.
But the area where the three Oscars were located happened to be a place that was searched less frequently by the secret guards.
As luck would have it, the search route that Lin Rong planned after unfolding the map happened to be the area where Oscar and the other three were.
Walking in the Star Forest.
Fresh air greets you, and the smell is mixed with the aroma of grass and earth, making people subconsciously forget that this is a primeval forest where spirit beasts roam, and thus inadvertently let down their guard.
Just on the outside, none of the surrounding tall trees is less than twenty meters tall.
The dense forest is overgrown with weeds and there are no paths for people to walk; the surrounding ancient trees block out the sky and the sun, and the shadows of the trees are whirling, making the entire forest environment appear dark and deep.
Among the group of people, half of the guards were leading the way, and the other half were standing behind.
Lin Rong was walking in the middle of the team.
The old housekeeper did the same, following Lin Rong closely.
As for the secret guards, they naturally went to explore the front and search for information.
During the walk, Lin Rong took out the map from time to time and looked at it, wondering how long it would take to gain anything from this trip.
That’s right, it’s about how long it takes to gain something, not whether you can gain something.
Because of this trip to the Star Dou Forest, Lin Rong did not plan to go back until he obtained the second soul ring.
The team was small, including Lin Rong and the old housekeeper, there were only fourteen people.
Among these fourteen people, except for Lin Rong himself, the rest were at least a four-ring soul sect.
Although Lin Rong's soul power was only level 20, with the old butler, Contra, taking him on the journey, he would not become a burden to the team on their way.
Instead, it was the guards who slowed down Lin Rong and his wife.
Therefore, the team only advanced for half a day before Lin Rong decided to split into two groups.
There were a team of twelve guards, and a team of Lin Rong and the old housekeeper.
The two teams searched separately.
The Guards were slow, so they searched the first half of the planned route.
Lin Rong was led by the old housekeeper and went directly to search the second half of the planned route.
Without the burden of the guards, the old housekeeper and Lin Rong hurried on with all their strength.
A few hours later, Lin Rong and the others arrived at the area where Oscar and the others were.
……
"Xiao Ao, your first soul skill is the soul power recovery sausage." Shao Xin put his hand on Oscar's shoulder and said: "But in battle, what we face is not only the problem of soul power consumption, There are also various insidious and vicious methods used by opponents, the most common of which is poison!”
"Therefore, your second soul skill should have both detoxification and healing effects."
"In nature, there is a medicinal herb called Artemisia vulgaris, which has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, dispersing blood stasis and reducing swelling."
"When Artemisia becomes a plant soul beast, this effect will be even more powerful, making it the best choice for your second soul ring."
When Shao Xin said this, he turned his head to Zhao Wuji.
"Moreover, Old Zhao, Artemisia likes a warm and humid environment, so I'll ask you to take the trouble to look for more places like this. There is a high probability that spirit beasts like Artemisia will grow there."
Zhao Wuji, who was walking ahead to open the way, said without looking back: "I know! I know! You old boy has so many demands."
The three of them searched according to this method, and sure enough they found a lot of wild wormwood. Even though their cultivation level was not high, they were basically under a hundred years old, and there were a few that were over a hundred years old.
Shao Xin expected Oscar's second soul ring to have a lifespan of about five hundred years, so the three of them skipped the few hundred-year-old wormwood plants and looked for the next target.
Lin Rong was looking for bamboo and gourd vines that had mutated spatial properties, and Oscar was looking for wild wormwood that was about five hundred years old.
These three plants all like warm and humid environments, and they are in the same area.

Therefore, as time goes by, the distance between them is getting closer.
Two or three hours passed in a flash.
Somewhere in the Star Forest, a large bush of wild wormwood grows on the shore of a large lake.
These wild wormwoods grow tall and strong, like trees.
The three Oscars walked into this wild wormwood bush and disappeared after a while.
The cultivation level of the wild wormwood on the outside of this clump of wild wormwood bushes was over a hundred years old. As the three of them went further in, the age of the wild wormwood that appeared was also increasing.
One hundred years, two hundred years, three hundred years...
When they came to the center of the wild wormwood bush, they saw three wormwood trees with a cultivation level of about five hundred years entwined around a sky-blue bamboo.
This bamboo is not tall, only close to one meter in length, and the wild wormwood around it is at least three or four meters high.
Dense sagebrush completely obscured the view of the area.
If no one had come to walk among the wild wormwood, no one would have thought that there was actually a bamboo growing here.
Shao Xin has lived for a long time and knows that this world is full of wonders, and he doesn't care why the bamboo grows here.
He was only thinking about Oscar's second soul ring now, so he told the two people around him:
"Old Zhao, I'll help you. Go and pull out one of the three wild wormwood plants that are wrapped around that bamboo."
"Remember to be gentle and don't kill the wild wormwood."
"Xiao Ao, after Lao Zhao pulls that wild wormwood over later, before it completely loses its vitality, hurry up and give it a final blow. Do you understand?"
Zhao Wuji waited for Shao Xin to finish speaking, then walked straight to where the bamboo was.
Five meters, four meters, three meters...
The moment Zhao Wuji walked within one meter of the bamboo, a dazzling silver light flashed.
The dazzling silver light made Zhao Wuji subconsciously close his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, the bamboo tree that was originally entangled by three wormwood plants had disappeared.
"Space Soul Beast! Space Soul Skill!"
Zhao Wuji was well-informed and quickly realized what happened just now.
"You are so intelligent that you actually know how to use this wild wormwood bush to hide your existence."
"However, the fluctuation of soul power that the bamboo just erupted was very weak, only close to the category of a thousand-year soul beast."
"I have never heard of this kind of soul beast before. Could it be a new species that has mutated?"
