Chapter 36

Nidos Continent

Jiang Zhulang, Roshia and Martin boarded the island by boat from the dock in Levi Town. Before going deeper into the island, Jiang Zhulang suddenly thought of a very serious question, which was -

How are they going to get back?

Looking at the boatman who had turned into a small black dot on the sea, Jiang Zhulang fell into deep thought.

No wonder there is a rumor that all adventurers never return after they arrive on the island, because there is no way to return...

Obviously, he was not the only one who noticed this problem. Roshia and Martin also looked at each other and waved their hands at the same time, trying to call the boatman who was rowing farther and farther away, but it was to no avail.

Martin: "No way, we paid a lot of money to rent the boat?? They just gave us this trip and then took the boat back?? I thought they would keep the boat for us..."

Jiang Zhulang: "Speaking of this, I just realized that the boatman rowed a boat over."

MARTIN: “So? Any questions?”

Roshia: "So if we leave the boat to us, how will the boatman get back? Swim back?"

Martin scratched his hair in frustration. "Oh, right? Why didn't I think of that? I really thought they would swim back by themselves. Isn't it said that people at the beach can swim for three hours without stopping? What should we do?"

After getting no response, Martin looked at Roshia and said, "Roshia, think of a solution. How about building a boat?"

Luo Xia: "..." He didn't want to talk, and silently moved his feet away from Martin and moved closer to Jiang Zhulang.

Jiang Zhulang glanced at him speechlessly and said, "He's not a carpenter. Stop standing there like an idiot. You don't know how long you'll be here. It's useless to think so much. You should think about where to go first."

At the moment, the three of them are in the center of the Pearl Chain Islands, which is also the place closest to the land. This not-so-large settlement is connected to four narrow roads leading to islands in different directions. The vegetation on each island is equally lush.

Martin touched Jiang Zhulang's shoulder and asked, "Did that blond beauty give you any hints about which way to go?"

Jiang Zhulang: "You think too much..."

Martin looked at him expectantly with a look of “Really? I don’t believe it jpg” on his face. Finally, he gave in to his increasingly cold gaze and pointed in a direction casually: “How about this way?”

Jiang Zhulang nodded. It didn't matter which way they went. The destination of their trip was vague and no one knew where it was.

As soon as he entered the island, Jiang Zhulang's first feeling was: hot and stuffy. The extremely humid air pressed on his exposed skin, as if it was covered with a layer of high-temperature water film. He sweated on his forehead after walking a few steps, not to mention the overly low vegetation pressing on his head, which made him feel even more depressed.

Less than half an hour later, the three of them went from talking and laughing to being silent. Of course, it was mainly Martin who was responsible for the talking and laughing.

"I, why do I feel like this place is like a maze..." Martin panted and trembled. After struggling to separate the branches in front of him, he said, "Luo Xiya, you must be tired of walking with a gun all the time. Do you want to relax a little? For example, shoot a few bullets to clear the way?"

Before I could get a reply, he retorted, "No, no, no, forget it. Although we didn't see a single hair along the way, what if? What if the destroyed vegetation happens to contain the one we need, and there happens to be only that one plant?"

Luoshia: "..."

Jiang Zhulang helplessly pulled him up by the back of his collar and lifted him up from the tree hole he had accidentally stepped into, "Pay attention."

"Ahhh, this is totally different from the treasure hunt I imagined!"

They walked with their heads down for an unknown amount of time, but finally, they came to an empty space with gurgling water and glimmering light blue flowers swaying in the wind.

"Flower of Tranquility!" Martin exclaimed, "I told you, we'll find something good this time! Lanno, hurry up!"

He, who had been shouting that he was exhausted to death, immediately revived with full health, and pulled Jiang Zhulang, who had not yet reacted, to stagger and rush straight to the target.

The Flower of Silence is a precious potion ingredient. Theoretically, it can grow anywhere, but in reality, it is hard to find even on the entire continent. The roots of the flower will wither the moment it is picked, so it cannot be cultivated artificially.

Jiang Zhulang took out the collection tools from his storage ring, and he and Martin collected materials on each side, while Roshia set up the tent.

“Do you think that if we add the flower of tranquility to the medicine, can we achieve the desired effect?” Martin asked suddenly.

The Flower of Tranquility is called a "miracle", which means that when you are researching and inventing a new potion, if you can't think of what to add to the semi-finished potion, then try adding it, and maybe you will miraculously achieve your wish.

Of course, this is not absolute.

"Try it?"

Jiang Zhulang didn't hold out much hope. Because Martin was able to enter the secret organization of the Holy Spirit Medicine Society with this ridiculous mushroom drug because of its amazing effect. At the same time, as a drug that promoted the progress of the "World Doomsday Crisis", it also had a hidden condition, which was:

--Cheap.

To create a stable and perfect mushroom medicine, the materials needed must be common and cheap. Otherwise, even if the Holy Spirit Medicine Company had a lot of money, how could it afford to produce enough medicine to cover half of the Nidos continent?

Of course, now that they have harvested so many flowers of tranquility, it wouldn't be a big deal to take two or three for experimentation.

Hearing this, Martin excitedly took out the crucible from his storage ring, lit a fire, and spread the potion ingredients all over the floor.

"Lano, you and Luo Xiya can eat first. I will try it."

So Jiang Zhulang and Luo Xia built another bonfire and started a pleasant picnic.

I have to say, it’s really nice to travel with enough money and sufficient preparation.

At dusk, beside the pool, a gorgeous and spacious tent stood. Jiang Zhulang happily nestled in a lounge chair, holding a glass of iced grape juice, waiting to be fed by Roshia, who was grilling meat on the automatic grill.

If you don't know, you might think they are on a picnic rather than an adventure.

Strangely enough, there were four roads with countless forks in the middle connecting to other islands, but the island Martin chose was calm and peaceful without any danger at all.

Thinking of the maze, underground palace, beast herd, ferocious savages and poisonous swamp he had set up in the outline, as well as the possible settings that Roshia might have made after getting the tip-off in advance, Jiang Zhulang looked at Martin unconsciously, and then again, thinking:

Is this what it means when a fool has good fortune?

He was fully prepared for a thrilling and life-threatening battle, but in the end, nothing happened except that the road became a little difficult to travel on.

Inexplicably, Jiang Zhulang was still a little disappointed.

The medicine was cooking steadily and the grill was done. Martin took a piece of marinated lamb chop and said as he ate, "Oh, how leisurely it is! How can we be so leisurely? I read a lot of legends and miscellanies before I set out. I plan to show off my skills!"

Although he had the same idea as him, Jiang Zhulang did not express it, because -

Luo Xiya complained: "Read less journals, don't be fooled. You are just too idle, so you yearn for a life of blood and knife. Look at Lan Nuo T, he doesn't think so."

Jiang Zhulang: “…Haha.” After swallowing a mouthful of burnt lamb chops, he wiped the sweat from his forehead slightly, feeling a little guilty.

Perhaps even the heavens were displeased with their leisure, for they had just finished their dinner and had not yet cleaned up when four hungry and frightened men suddenly emerged from the dense forest not far away. Their clothes were torn into rags, and their bodies were stained with blood. It was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, old or young, just by looking at the naked eye.

Obviously, they didn't expect to run into other people here.

For a moment, both sides were wary of each other, confronting each other tensely in the camp with the aroma of barbecue, until the buzzing of the stomach, one louder than the other, broke the silence.

The person in the lead, who was about two meters tall, spoke, and Jiang Zhulang realized that it was a burly woman. She was the first to raise her hand to indicate that she had no ill intentions.

"We mean no harm, can we let my companions go with you?"

Luo Xia and Martin both looked at Jiang Zhulang, and then the burly woman also looked at him.

He nodded and used his hand to indicate a small space. It just so happened that he also wanted to know what they had encountered that left them in this state.
