Wizarding World Beekeeper

Hua Mi rode on the back of the deer and galloped all the way.

Want to reach the village before sunset.

In the first half of the journey, the terrain is basically large and spacious plains.

Even though there are ups and downs, because the distance is far enough, the whole thing still looks very smooth.

The sea is vast and the fish can leap, so you can run freely in this environment.

The second half of the journey was quite rugged, as we walked along a dirt road that was not very spacious, with rocks everywhere on both sides.

Of course, when encountering a place that needs to be detoured, Hua Mi will still follow the principle of the shortest straight line between two points and let Lu Fei do orienteering and go straight ahead - unless there is an insurmountable obstacle.

Lu Fei's endurance and explosive power are not comparable to those of ordinary horses. He can easily jump several meters high, so ordinary obstacles cannot defeat him at all.

It's just that the speed will be slower and more bumpy than on flat ground.

Passing through a deserted area and continuing forward, there are more trees and grass on both sides of the road.

After Hua Mi discovered that the dirt road under her feet had turned in a direction that was far different from her destination, she directly urged Lu Fei to leave the road, pass through the undeveloped vegetation, and continue to move straight towards the goal.

"Help--"

Suddenly, a faint cry for help came to his ears along the wind.

Hua Mi immediately pulled back the antlers, causing the mount to stop.

Listen attentively.

"Help! Help!"

It did sound like a woman's cry for help.

Because this section of the journey was relatively rugged and difficult, Lu Fei's speed slowed down.

Otherwise, he might not be able to hear the wind whistling in his ears.

"The sound came from that direction."

Hua Mi turned the deer's head and trotted a short distance in the direction of the sound.

I could vaguely smell the aroma of hot food, and it seemed like someone was having a picnic nearby.

As he walked that way, the scout bee had already arrived at the scene before him.

The vision returned showed that there was a relatively wide road not far away.

Also a dirt road.

The road was covered with ruts of varying depths, which had obviously been forcibly run over by passing carriages.

Under a big tree on the roadside, a woman wearing a dark blue robe and a pointed round hat was sitting on the ground, her back weakly leaning on the tree trunk.

The witch's outfit...

The so-called witch in this world is not simply a female mage, but a special title.

To put it simply, it is a little more dangerous than a mage.

Being a witch is a rare profession that mainly depends on talent. Women without talent will never become a witch no matter how hard they work.

But at this moment, the witch's eyes were blurred, her mouth was drooling, and she looked exhausted.

Weakly shouting "help".

It was obviously due to some abnormal condition.

Hua Mi only glanced at the scene briefly and ruled out the possibility of being attacked by the enemy.

In front of her was a pitch-black crucible, placed on a pile of firewood. The pot was still filled with thick soup, which was boiling and bubbling. Ingredients that looked like mushrooms could be vaguely seen rising and falling with the bubbles. Volt.

There were no signs of fighting around.

Then it's obvious.

I'm afraid I ate something I shouldn't have eaten.

Hua Mi controlled the reconnaissance bees to scan the entire scene, and activated the "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes" to confirm it personally. He learned that there was indeed no ambush around, and that the witch was indeed in an abnormal state, and did not use illusions or other disguises, so he urged Lu Fei to Step forward.

A few meters away from her, he got off the deer's back and asked from a distance without moving any closer:

"Are you okay? What happened?"

Hearing the sound, the witch's split eyes focused slightly, she looked at him in confusion, and she tried her best to open her mouth:

"Poison...poisonous..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the crucible in front of him.

Sure enough, he was poisoned.

Being poisoned on the road by something you cooked is really the shame of a witch!

Hua Mi found two branches, fished out the undulating mushrooms in the crucible, and threw them to the ground.

This mushroom looks gaudy on the outside and doesn’t look very edible at first glance.

You have to be so hungry to be able to eat it.

Hua Mi controlled the measuring bees to go out, cover the mushroom on the ground, and read the characteristics.

[The flower mushroom is produced in the Dark Region and is delicious, but it is not edible. It contains paralyzing toxins. Those who eat it will enter a state of "paralysis" and need to take the cool mushroom also produced in the Dark Region to neutralize the toxicity. If they cannot get treatment in time , which will eventually lead to paralysis! 】

The information is concise and easy to understand.

This witch obviously fell into a state of "paralysis".

However, one thing in the information caught Hua Mi's attention.

This thing called "Flower Mushroom" comes from the Dark Area?

The so-called "underdark area", as the name suggests, refers to the underground area where the sun cannot be seen all year round.

Different from the earthly world.

The ecology is completely different from the surface world.

The Underdark is more dangerous than the usual adventure areas on the surface.

And this kind of danger usually comes from unobservable places, and you will be caught if you are not careful.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, ordinary adventurers will not rush into the Underdark.

Before, he went to the unicorn to ask for unicorn horn powder, and the unicorn offered him in exchange for letting him hunt a living beholder in the Underdark.

How did something from the Underdark appear in her pot?

Could it be that she just came out of the Underdark?

Is there an Underdark entrance nearby?

Having said that, if this is the case, then she dares to eat plants in the Underdark. This is not just a big-hearted thing, but a bit stupid.

To detoxify this poison, he had to use cool mushrooms - they were also produced in the Dark Area. Where could he find them?

The Pili flower honey carried on the body, combined with electrotherapy, can treat common wounds.

But there is no way to remove the abnormal state.

Hua Mi was scratching his head.

The witch in front of her tilted her head and fainted completely.

"..."

We are very close to the target village, so let’s take the people there first.

…

"This is really a remote little village."

Hua Mi was riding on the back of the deer, with the fainted witch lying in front of her.

He looked towards the cluster of houses in the low-lying area.

Looking at the map, it should be the McCange Village that the traveling merchant mentioned.

Looking at it, the whole village probably only has dozens of houses.

They are all low buildings built with rough stones.

The setting sun shines on the houses, casting shadows on the ground.

Several chimneys were blowing out smoke, which smelled like fireworks.

The village is built close to a mountain.

The mountain doesn't look high, but it is very broad and covered with lush trees.

According to the traveling merchant, the hot spring hotel that can heal injuries and illnesses should be somewhere in that mountain.

The villagers are friendly to outsiders - the traveling merchant was right when he said so.

Hua Mi urged Lu Fei to slow down and walk towards the village.

Soon we came to the village.

As he got closer, he realized something was wrong.

This village is too quiet.

Ordinarily, the sun has not set yet, it is dusk, and the villagers should not have fallen asleep yet.

Why is there no one outside?
