Chapter 43 Determining the Base (Please Read, Collect, and Recommend)

The towering Wuling Mountains are a large mountain range that stretches across four provinces, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, and Guizhou, covering an area of ​​about 100,000 square kilometers.

More than half of the area in the mountainous area is covered by forests, and there are many species of animals and plants in it, which is known as the "animal and plant gene bank".

Changyang is located on the east side of Wuling Mountains, and there is a route into the mountain in Xiaolu Village.

Walking on the mountain road, you can vaguely see the cultivated land on the narrow slopes on both sides.

I still remember that when I was very young, the villagers plowed the land in the mountains, and they reached the end in three or five steps. Standing on the edge of the cliff, they lifted the plow from the soil and turned, and their bodies were almost suspended on the cliff.

But now it has been abandoned for a long time, and it is covered with weeds.

Lu He's speed is very fast. He walked to the end of the mountain road that was originally an hour in 20 minutes. There is no way to go forward. Except for some hikers or hunters, basically no one will go in.

Three days have passed since the breakthrough. During these three days, Lu He spent most of his time adapting to his own physical changes and making some preparations to enter the mountain.

There are two purposes for going into the mountains this time. The most important is to find a base where he can do experiments and practice magic without restraint.

The second is to see if he can make some money.

After he gets through this weak period and has the ability to protect his life, he has many ways to make money. Besides, he can't make money after he becomes stronger. Isn't it better to go abroad directly?

In fact, it doesn't matter how much money he makes. What's important is to be able to establish his own power or to have a power that can help him collect the materials he needs on the entire earth, or even help him do some auxiliary research.

Otherwise, if he is alone, don't think about practicing and learning, and run around outside all day.

It's difficult to do this. Even the powerful Eagle Federation can't do whatever it wants.

Don't underestimate the technology side. In the early stage, when it is also level 0, most other route sides can't compete with the technology side.

He is still far away. At least he needs to be a high-level apprentice to try it. Now he should just farm and develop.

…

After walking to the end, Lu He went straight into the forest. The forest was not easy to walk, but his super-fast agility and reaction speed made him walk on flat ground, and occasionally he had magic to help.

However, he would stop every time he walked a distance and wait for Sanhei behind him to catch up.

Half an hour later, Lu He had crossed two mountains and came to a flat land.

There was a small river next to him, and traces of human activities could still be seen in the nearby jungle, including several plastic bottles and packaging bags, as well as some sun hats and so on.

I can only sigh that some hikers can really run.

Lu He sat on a stone and let Sanhei, who was panting, take a break.

Looking at the garbage on the ground, he shook his head and decided to clean it up. He probably would pass by here often in the future.

The fire element gathered in the palm of his hand, and a ball of flame formed. With a wave of his hand, the flame automatically split into several flowers and flew accurately to the garbage scattered everywhere on the flat ground.

There was no need to worry about catching fire. Lu He’s control over the fire element was still good, and he could limit the flame to a certain range.

Woof woof woof!

When they were about to leave after cleaning, Sanhei barked at the woods on the right. Lu He turned around and saw that it was two adult female wild boars passing by with more than a dozen half-grown wild boars.

The wild boars ignored Sanhei and walked straight to the river in front.

"You didn't even say hello? This is my territory, I just cleaned it up."

"It's not too much to leave a toll. I'm a little hungry."

Lu He smiled and said, with a flash of magic in his eyes, a small wild boar in the herd suddenly broke away from the team, hit the rock next to it, and fell to the ground.

He pulled out the machete from his waist, went to the upstream to find a clean water area, cut open the wild boar's intestines and stomach, cleaned it up, took off a leg, and threw the rest to Sanhei.

Directly condense the fire element to grill it, with the spicy sauce he brought, it can only be said to be very fragrant.

...

After walking in for another half an hour, there was gradually no sign of human activity around. He opened the flower eye in his right eye to detect where there were caves or hidden valleys.

Unfortunately, his perspective ability is limited, and he mostly relies on his eagle-like vision to judge.

"Hmm? There is a hole, take a closer look."

Lu He found a crack on the surface of the mountain through the gaps in the trees, and found that it was a natural cave after a closer look.

】

After approaching, Lu He did not rush in, but cast the light spell to illuminate the cave entrance.

Damn!

Lu He's hand trembled, and the invisible skin was about to be fully opened.

I saw that the cave was densely packed with snakes, one on top of another, one entangled with another, white, black, red, colorful, all snakes, as thick as an adult's arm, as thin as a thumb.

Resisting the urge to throw a burning ring in, Lu He turned and left. He was not afraid, but disgusted.

"Alas, I am not a qualified wizard yet, so this little scene is not good enough."

After wandering around for more than ten minutes, Lu He found a small valley hidden between two huge peaks.

The valley was full of half-green and half-yellow bamboos, of several types, the most common of which was the common green bamboo.

"It's well hidden and breathable. At my speed, it's about two hours away from the village. That's it."

Lu He didn't want to go any deeper. This place was enough. No one should be bored enough to come to this desolate mountain and wilderness, and they might just run into him.

If someone really came, then...

Putting down his backpack, Lu He called Sanhei.

He took out the ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, white truffles, and gold he bought, but of course only a little bit, and sniffed them while watching them carefully.

After confirming that you remember them, drive them away and let them play freely. Whether they can be found depends on God's will.

There is no need to worry about their safety. Although the nose-eating air is a tracking spell, the physical strengthening effect it brings is not comparable to that of ordinary beasts.

If it really doesn't work, you can only go out for a walk and get some start-up funds.

Lu He began to build a bamboo house according to the photos on his mobile phone. A laboratory, a bedroom, and a storage room should be enough.

He built these relatively quickly. The negative energy hand cooperated with magic power and it was easy.

Magic power is a kind of energy without attributes, but few wizards use magic power directly. They all use magic power as the source and knowledge as a lever to pry more energy.

The negative energy hand is called a hand, but in fact it is more often used as a force field.

Lu He has set a precedent for these two, but I have to say it is really useful.

An hour later, the simple bamboo house was built, and spells were used to solidify it at key nodes, so that even the strongest wind would be difficult to shake.

After finishing, Lu He opened up a planting area near the peak at the bottom of the valley to be used as a botanical garden.

At the same time, he set up warning arrays at several places where he had to pass through to enter the valley, which would remind him when a creature broke in.

"I have to speed up the study of defensive illusion arrays. I can't stay here every day, alas."

After working hard for a long time, he finally set everything up.

He returned to the bamboo house to meditate and restore his magic power.

Woof woof woof!

Until the evening, Sanhei finally came back.

He circled around him a few times, then bit his trouser legs, and couldn't wait to take him to the depths of the mountains.

Lu He was delighted.

"Lead the way!"

...

Late at night.

Lu He sat on a bamboo stool, Sanhei drooped his long dog face in front of him, and there were a few things in the middle.

"I eat my food, I drink my water, and I transform you into extraordinary dogs. Is this how you repay me?"

"This is the only thing that has some value, but it's too small."

Lu He picked up two small nuggets of gold, the total weight of which did not exceed 100g.

The rest were wild Chinese medicinal herbs. Sanhei did find a lot of them, but they were too small to fill the gaps between teeth.

Using magic to accelerate growth is also very slow. Negative energy spells are much faster, but they will overdraw their own vitality and are not very meaningful.

"I have to do it myself!"

Lu He sighed, but he would wait until he was done with this period of work. He had enough money and was not in a hurry.

He used to take it for granted, thinking that there were many treasures in the mountains and he could just find some casually. Who knew it would be like this? It is estimated that now all places that people can enter have been looted.
