Chapter 901: Groundhogs (1)
Four days later, a huge war erupted in the Free Valley. The years of stability maintained by Yan Luo Dian and Zhai Xing Lou were finally shattered. The future of the Free Valley would also undergo a major change from this day on.
At the same time, Ji Fengyan’s team had already arrived at the Forest of Freedom. As she had expected, the forest was free of human presence because of the battle. This made their entry easier than usual.
This was the first time that Zuo Nuo and this group of Blood Tribe men had stepped into the Forest of Freedom. Due to the various rumors swirling around this forest, the Blood Tribe men were somewhat nervous entering it. They hesitated outside for a while, not daring to take a step in. It was as if there were natural disasters and savage beasts waiting for them inside.
Ji Fengyan couldn’t help feeling amused at their “shy, young girl” demeanor.
“What are you all doing, with your knickers all twisted up?”
The Blood Tribe members replied nervously, “Our queen, this Forest of Freedom... is not safe. It would be better if we can carry out more preparations before entering...”
Before that man could finish his sentence, Zuo Nuo had already entered the forest in a daze and was hovering around inside. He had been with Ji Fengyan for some time, and although he still didn’t know how to cultivate his inner core, he had gained more knowledge of herbs. With just one glance, he could already spot several valuable herbs growing amongst the wild vegetation. His eyes glimmered.
“Miss, there are so many herbs here!” He then looked at the petrified Blood Tribe members still standing outside. Oblivious to their shock, he waved at them happily. “What are you all still doing there? Hurry up and come over here.”
“...” The Blood Tribe men were close to tears.
Ji Fengyan’s own men were truly courageous. This Zuo Nuo was not that big but his bravery was admirable.
Since Zuo Nuo had already entered, they had no other choice but to follow suit. If they still refused to budge, wouldn’t they be bringing shame to the name of the Blood Tribe?
The 20-over men steeled their nerves and walked in.
Ji Fengyan nearly doubled over in laughter as she watched them march in as if on death row. With Xiao Tuanzi in her arms, she followed them with Yang Jian and Bai Ze in tow.
After walking in the forest for a while, the group found nothing special apart from the herbs and trees. The originally nervous men relaxed a little. They might be imagining things, but they felt lighter and more nimble after entering the forest. They also felt an inexplicable sense of comfort all over their bodies.
Zuo Nuo was the youngest of Linghe’s gang and had frequently followed Ji Fengyan in her jaunts. As such, he was rather daring and quick-thinking. There was no need for instructions from Ji Fengyan—he automatically reached down to harvest any rare herbs that he could see and directly threw them into his basket.
Within a short while, his basket was already full of many herbs. Even so, he did not display the slightest sign of fatigue.
Seeing Zuo Nuo working so hard, the Blood Tribe had no choice but to follow his example and dug up some herbs. They managed to harvest quite a decent amount.
Ji Fengyan watched as her men behaved like a bunch of groundhogs. Randomly digging up the earth in the Forest of Freedom. They had been walking for quite some time but only managed to travel a short distance. Instead, the ground they covered were full of small holes. Bai Ze had chewed on a few leaves that were full of spiritual energy, to discover that they were deliciously sweet.
