"This tree doesn't seem to be very good." Blanche stood up after hearing this, slapped her hands in disappointment, and continued to search around with her gray eyes.

"What is the difference between good or bad?" Gene asked his doubts, "Why should we use the core of a pine tree?"

"There are many objects of excellent nature in nature. On the one hand, they can convey magic power, and on the other hand, they are deeply loved by natural elements. Such things are most suitable for making staff." Blanche explained while looking for the next target.

"The explanation in the book is that - just like a child who is not always obeys his mother, but when the mother holds the toys and sweets that the child likes, the difficulty of communication between the two parties will be reduced sharply... The staff is this medium. A high-quality staff has a natural bonus for gathering natural elements, which can greatly reduce the difficulty of magicians casting spells and even reduce the consumption of magic power!"

"And pine trees, from roots to dryness to needles, are all good materials of this kind of properties... That's why my mother built the Mage Tower here. This pine forest is an inexhaustible treasure house of magic materials that are easy to use! Most magic apprentice's staff are found here."

As he spoke, Blanche walked to another tall and straight pine tree, squatted down, and repeated what he had just done.

"What's this for?" Gene said curiously.

"Test!" Blanche whispered, "Crystal is a carrier for natural magic storage. It burys crystal powder at the roots of the pine tree, so that the magic can be emitted through the branches and leaves of the pine tree... If the pine tree has excellent properties, it can attract enough natural elements! And what I want to do is just listen..."

While speaking, the gray-haired girl made a "shhh" gesture and then pointed to the top of her head.

Seeing this, Gene held his breath.

There was no movement at the beginning.

But after a moment, it was like a mountain wind blew, and a slight "rustling" sound gradually came from the canopy of the pine tree. The pine needles rubbed against each other, as if they were pushed by some invisible thing, and they swung over and swung over. Occasionally, some green needles suddenly fell off the branches and fell down sparsely, and they were not afraid of hurting anyone.

"This one is not bad?" Blanche shouted in surprise, but immediately shrugged, "It's a pity that it's not top-notch, at most it's excellent, just like the one I use now... It's not worth the effort to polish another one."

"Your staff is very good?"

"Well... I took a lot of effort to find it. Its magical properties are considered one in a thousand... Unfortunately, it is not enough for me! I need a better staff to help me attract fire elements more smoothly, otherwise God will know when to perfectly master the fireball technique."

"This is how the magicians are. They must perfectly master a magic skill to engrave the next one... No, not only magicians, but also all adventurers seem to be like this? In short, I only know that if I don't master the fireball technique thoroughly before this winter, then I will have nothing to do with the winter assessment... Haha, this situation has been four years..."

"I'll help you." Gene suddenly said.

"No need..." Blanche shook her head casually, "You are not even a magician. You can't tell whether the rustling above the pine trees is because of the gathering and playing with nature elements, or because of the real mountain wind... This is just a chance, I can do it myself."

"Actually, if it were another magic apprentice, they didn't even need to bring crystal powder. They just pressed their hands on the root of the tree and sent magic to test it... But my magic is not good. So I had to use these scrapped crystal gravels. They are of very low value and are even used to melt into those semi-finished weapons in the first floor hall..."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

Gene stared at the small cloth bag in Blanche's hand for a long time, thinking.

——————————

It is the same forest, but unlike the sea of ​​pine trees on the wizard tower, the main species of trees in the dark valley are oak and oak trees.

Compared with the former, the biggest feature of the latter two trees is that their crowns are dense and thick, and are usually divided into upper and lower layers, interspersed between layers, resulting in excellent shading effect! In the dark valley, even the daytime looks like the special environment where night falls is caused by them.

Only in certain open areas can you see the good sunshine weather.

The habitat of the "Double Stone Column" ethnic group is such a good place.

At this moment, the wolves had just finished their prey they had collectively set off in the morning and were in the most boring rest time. The timberwolves who had eaten and drank all looked for a place to bask in the sun. The raised body temperature made them lazy and unwilling to move, so as not to lose more water in their bodies.

But there are always exceptions.

Increased body temperature sometimes brings another kind of restlessness. Some male and female wolves are rubbing together, sniffing each other's breath, or doing indescribable behavior.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I felt my body restless.

That was a long-lost, young restlessness!

How long have I forgotten... Since I left the clan and became a lonely wolf who lived a life of silence, I have never enjoyed this primitive joy again, and I almost forgot what it feels like!

It has to be mentioned that in the past few days, I have finally lived a relatively regular life after having eaten the last meal. Every morning is the collective hunting time for the wolves. Under the leadership of the young and powerful "White Clawed Wolf King", I have gained a lot almost every time, and the entire tribe seems to be thriving!

As the former wolf king, the lack of ears can be divided into some residual bones and flesh every time, which has restored its weak body to some vitality and its body is no longer as thin as skinny as bones.

The body of the defeated "One-Eyed Wolf King" has been dragged to the Wolf King Valley by several young timberwolves.

The spouse of the former two wolf kings, the elderly mother wolf with silver hair, tried to show kindness to the white claws after being defeated by Queer, but the young wolf king was accompanied by a more beautiful and healthy young mother wolf! Therefore, the elderly mother wolf is in a very miserable situation and must drag her elderly body to participate in the hunting. The meat he gets is even less than that of Queer.

Sometimes Queer will feel sympathy for "her", which makes Queer feel awkward, because this is another idea that a wolf should not have!

At this moment, I felt that the restlessness in my heart became even worse. When I raised my eyelids, I suddenly saw "she" lying tiredly on a rock not far away. It was a strange thing to me, and it walked towards its former companion.

It was almost semi-forced, and the front paws directly hit the silver wolf's waist!

"Ao--" The female wolf turned her head and howled angrily at first, but after seeing clearly that it was missing, she hesitated for a moment and did not start fighting with it.

The two wolves staggered to the small puddle not far away.

For the elderly old wolf who had just recovered from half-death, all this seemed to be a bit too much. Qiu Er quickly felt that he was exhausted and was very thirsty. He couldn't help but put down his front paws and struggled to stretch his head to lick the water surface. But the silver female wolf turned around and bit his only ear unhappily, as if he was dissatisfied with Qiu Er's distraction!

Queer tweaked twice impatiently, but he didn't push the silver wolf's head away.

【Eat it!】

At this moment, the old voice suddenly appeared in my mind, shocking Queer.

The next moment, a faint black mist suddenly began to gush out from its eyes!

Que Er opened his mouth suddenly - it couldn't even believe that its mouth could be so huge - the bloody mouth bit the silver wolf's protruding forward kiss, and all the lips, teeth, and even half of the wolf's face were put into his mouth.

"Aowuwuwuwu..." The silver female wolf struggled strongly in an instant! The struggle during life and death was so crazy, and even burst out with tearing force several times more than usual. Its claws directly grabbed a series of deep bone-visible scars on both sides of the body of the Queer!

In normal times, such scars can quickly kill the missing ear, and at least it can relieve it.

But at this time, Queer did not move at all, and the black fog in his eyes gradually spread out - compared to the quick and neat way that Queer killed the one-eyed black wolf with one move when the black fog first emerged, their appearance process was already slow and difficult enough, but no matter what, it still gradually appeared...

The silver sheep wolf's struggle lasted for more than a dozen breaths until the black mist finally occupied Queer's entire eyes.

The next moment, a black light flashed, and the body of the silver wolf suddenly collapsed strangely! It was like a water bag filled with water that was sucked by the giant's head tilted. The water bag would quickly shrivel as the water bag would shrivel... The body of the silver wolf also collapsed and shriveled quickly.

All the flesh and blood turned into red lights and flowed deep into the throat that was missing.

When the black light disappeared, there was only a beautiful silver wolf skin in Que'er's mouth, as well as the white bones under the loose fur.

puff!

The old wolf suddenly spit out the wolf's skin, swayed, and walked to the edge of the puddle.

It lowered its head and looked at the calm water surface, which reflected its old and ugly wolf face.

"Damn." It whispered, but the words of human beings were spoken from his throat. "It turns out that fresh flesh and blood are effective. No matter how much dead meat is eaten, it is useless..."

"Damn, damn, the effort failed! Everything planned was disrupted! The crystal ball was gone, and I don't know where my notes went. Just because of this fragment I have to live on a wolf, the power that can be driven is too little, too little..."
Chapter completed!
