After the treehouse frame was completed, Chen Yang began searching around the treehouse for usable resources, and he did find quite a few.
What surprised him most was the cocoa tree.
A cocoa grove is not far from the treehouse, where cocoa fruits grow.
The cocoa pods were already ripe, and it would be too late to call anyone else over. So, Chen Yang picked a lot himself, then used his Tenacity Blade to pry open the hard cocoa pods, dried them, and prepared to take some back with him.
These cocoa beans can be made into pure chocolate, which is nutritious and delicious. Xia Yue was definitely the most excited; she could finally make chocolate-flavored desserts. However, Chen Yang could only bring back a limited number of cocoa beans, as his carrying capacity was limited.
He then collected cocoa seeds, intending to take them to the swampy area by the lake to plant.
It's too far from here. We can only come here to pick cocoa fruit next year. It would be better to take them back and plant them, let them grow faster in the time acceleration zone, and then find a way to transplant them to the swamp area.
One function of the time acceleration zone is to help them find certain plants to accelerate their growth; large-scale planting is actually done elsewhere.
On the third day after the treehouse was completed, Chen Yang finally received a notification from the micro-world.
"Congratulations, Realm Lord, on completing the mission. The mission reward, 'Lightness of Body,' has been issued. Please experience it for yourself."
Lightness of the wind: The wind is your friend. You can use it to speed up your movements and lighten your weight. The wind is everywhere, and you feel incredibly light and agile wherever there is wind.
Chen Yang immediately sensed the difference; the air around his body seemed to have changed.
He raised his hand, and the wind swirled around his fingertips. The surrounding air seemed to flow with his will.
He looked at the sky, then bent his knees and jumped up suddenly.
When he jumped to the highest point, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
His leap reached a new height, an astonishing height. Chen Yang felt as if he were walking on the wind.
He was momentarily suspended in mid-air, and he felt as if he could walk on the wind.
Chen Yang stepped into the air, attempting to use the wind to make a second jump.
Then, his feet suddenly lost their footing, and a feeling of weightlessness enveloped him instantly. Chen Yang tumbled down from the air, flailing his arms and legs.
The European Emperor, who was resting, suddenly felt a jolt on the ground, which startled it so much that it jumped up. It looked around in confusion and then saw Chen Yang lying on the ground with his head down and his legs spread wide.
Ouhuang thought Chen Yang was playing around, so he happily ran up to Chen Yang and lay down on him.
Chen Yang raised his head in frustration. He had wanted to try the legendary double jump, but the air he could control was not enough to support his weight, so he lost his footing.
Next, Chen Yang conducted a number of experiments.
He can use the power of the wind to propel himself forward, and at the same time use the wind to drag himself, thus reducing his weight.
After a short while, he was able to use the lightness of the wind to make his running speed much faster, and his jumping ability was even more terrifying.
The combination of his ground-walking boots and the lightness of his body allowed Chen Yang to reach a terrifying speed. With the help of the lightness of his body, he could even run for more than ten meters on water without falling.
The speed of the European Emperor can no longer keep up with Chen Yang; no animal on the ground can catch up with Chen Yang.
However, after trying it out, Chen Yang found that the Lightness of the Wind was much less effective in combat.
First, the lightness of the wind can only affect a radius of about ten centimeters around the user's body, so it is difficult to influence other people or creatures.
Secondly, in close combat, moving too fast requires attention to control the lightness of the wind, which actually reduces combat effectiveness.
However, when throwing a punch, Chen Yang can create airflow around his fist. This reduces resistance, resulting in greater speed and power.
However, Chen Yang was still unwilling to give up and wanted to try a double jump, which he thought was possible.
So, there's this idiot in the rainforest who keeps jumping into the air and then falling down again and again.
Seeing that Chen Yang was having fun, the Emperor of Europe ignored him and went out to find food.
Half an hour later, he actually came back carrying a pangolin in his mouth.
Chen Yang had never eaten pangolin before, so he became curious.
He temporarily stopped his self-harm and began researching how to eat pangolins.
In the past few days, he has also found a lot of food, including rambutans, bananas, some edible mushrooms, and cilantro.
These are all good foods.
However, many plants in the rainforest are not suitable for planting near the camp, so he picked out one or two kinds of seeds to take back and plant.
After the pangolin was roasted, Chen Yang took a few bites and found it quite tasty. Served with some fruit and wild vegetables, it was quite delicious.
After completing the mission, Chen Yang prepared to pack up and head back.
When he arrived, he carried a lot of things on his back, including a blanket, food, a water bag, and an axe.
However, when he returned, he carried even more things.
Aside from some seeds, the most abundant thing is cocoa beans.
He threw away the axe and carried less water and food, since he already knew where to replenish his water supply along the way. Even so, he still carried a large bag back.
Fortunately, the reward from the micro-world this time is a light-body wind, which can help reduce the burden on his back.
Since it was too late to call someone to come and harvest the cocoa beans, Chen Yang could only bring as many as possible.
He really likes chocolate, and most of the people in the micro-world like it too, so he tries to bring as much as possible.
The European Emperor's little bag was also filled with cocoa beans, sacrificing his own food reserves. At worst, they would spend more time searching for food on the road.
Before leaving, Chen Yang reinforced the treehouse by sticking out a lot of wooden spikes around it, which should deter some animals from coming over, especially that annoying group of baboons that had been lingering around for a long time.
Chen Yang spent a day drawing and made a small raft, which he then used to cross the short but very dangerous swamp.
He tied the stubborn blade to a stick to make a spear, and wounded two crocodiles that were trying to attack the raft before he could safely cross the swamp.
Back on the cliff, he spent most of the day collecting vines and bark to make ropes, which he used to hoist the enormous Ganoderma lucidum up the cliff.
This Ganoderma lucidum was so huge that Chen Yang had to wrap it in animal hide and carry it with him on the road.
Then, he and the European Emperor hunted and advanced, finally arriving at the place where he had buried the bull's horns, exhausted as they went.
He also took these two heavy bull horns with him on the road.
If someone were to look at Chen Yang from a distance, all they would see is a pile of moving luggage.
Behind him was a large basket of cocoa beans, with a straw mat and a bag of dried meat hanging below. He had a water bag tied around his waist, a Ganoderma lucidum wrapped in animal skin hanging on his chest, and a pair of cow horns and some other items hanging on his other side of his waist.
If it weren't for his light-body-like aura, Chen Yang would definitely have been crushed; that basket of cocoa beans alone would have been enough to overwhelm him.
Therefore, although Chen Yang had gained a sense of lightness and was familiar with the route, his return journey was much slower.
When he finally reached the mountainside of Tianyin Mountain and saw the island in the middle of the lake and the Xindu campsite in the distance, he was deeply moved.
Updates will be more consistent from now on, and I'll try my best to update more often. I hope everyone will vote diligently, since recommendation votes are free anyway.
