I asked you to dig wild vegetables to pay off your debt, not go up the mountain to pick up money!

Chapter 250 Entering the Primeval Forest

After walking for another half an hour and crossing a small river, she finally arrived at the edge of the forest.

"Be careful. There's a place ahead where anacondas are known to be. Can we activate the advanced protective shield?"

"It's a three-day drive. This time, let's go deeper. We don't want the shield to fail halfway. Just thinking about it makes me scared."

Song Anning told her family that she was going to be away for a few days. If the time was too long, it wouldn't be good, and if it was too short, she wouldn't be able to go far.

The moment the protective shield opened, she took out number one from her backpack. This was free labor. Although 10% of the silver would be deducted, the strength of two people was much greater than her own.

"Xiangxiang, what is Wei Shisan doing? If he's still idle in the mining area, call him over."

During this period, Wei Shisan spent most of his time supervising in the mine, and occasionally came out to pretend to arrest someone, but he was completely controlled by Xiangxiang.

The news from him was that Marshal Pan had been busy on the island for a long time, causing many casualties, and left after failing to find Ali.

Ali didn't go back to the island. The island was being rebuilt recently, and no one cared whether anyone was arrested or not.

"What could possibly happen to him? This guy has a good life. He just hangs around the mine every day and is well-fed and well-drinking."

"What are you waiting for? Let him come over!"

"Hehe, he's on his way. We've been operating a protective shield for three days, and we can't lose either of these two free workers.

Isn't Xiangxiang very smart? "

"Of course, our Xiangxiang is the cutest, smartest and most considerate."

Song An Ning replied to Xiangxiang with a smile and took action.

This forest blocks out the sun. Xiangxiang estimates that there are three to four thousand species of plants in it. If animals are included, the number may be several thousand.

"Ding, I bought back three plants of Gentiana macrophylla. One ounce and two hundred coins have been credited to my account."

"Ding, I bought back one Magnolia officinalis plant, and it's worth three hundred coins."

"Ding, I bought three Acanthopanax senticosus plants, and the amount is 900 Wen."

Since entering the mountain, Song Anning and No. 1 have been busy picking. Xiangxiang was so excited that she kept chattering away, unable to stop.

"Huh? Oh my goodness, I noticed a lot of things are bought by the plant, not by the pound?"

"These are relatively precious herbs, of course different from wild vegetables.

But weeds and other things are still collected by the kilogram, and there are a lot of them, so even a little bit adds up and you can make a lot of money."

"Ding, I bought two Notopterygium wilfordii plants, and the amount is 360 wen."

"Ding, recycling..."

Now Xiangxiang didn't feel tired anymore. As long as Song Anning and No. 1 picked the herbs, she would collect them immediately.

"Master, that's called blackberry. It tastes bitter and sour, and is cold in nature. It has the effects of clearing heat and dampness, detoxifying and reducing swelling.

One hundred coins a pound, hurry up and pick it up, it's such a big piece!"

Song Anning looked up and saw that the hillside beside the stream was full of this thing. It liked a humid environment. Xiangxiang said it was a common weed, but she had never seen it in the back mountain.

"Number One, come here and pick blackberries with me."

"Ok."

After receiving the order, No. 1 was ready to pluck out all the weeds on the hillside, no matter how big or small, as long as they were blackberries, he would not leave any behind.

Song An Ning took a sip of water and took action, with his mind racing.

One catty costs one hundred coins, and there are at least one or two hundred catties in front of us, which means more than ten taels of silver.

And you don’t need to use your brain to pick this thing, just pluck it without thinking.

"Master, Wei Shisan is here. He's already working in the front."

"Okay, let him go into the protective shield. There are too many snakes and insects in the mountains. Don't let him die of hunger without doing much work."

"Hahaha, Xiangxiang actually forgot about this.

However, there are quite a few bugs under the rocks in this stream, and they have been repelled by the protective shield. Would you like to collect some of them?"

Song Anning's eyes rolled. Xiangxiang had learned her lesson. She tempted her with new species but didn't mention the fee for recycling them remotely. She was just waiting for her to speak.

So, she continued to pull the weeds with her hands and started bargaining in her mind.

"How many species are there? I don't want any less, and you'll have to deduct a large handling fee."

"No, no, there aren't many. I'll only deduct 30%. Xiangxiang will also collect the insects on land."

"Then let's get started."

"Ding, recovered one hundred and thirty-eight wild velvet worms, credited..."

"stop!

Just recite it silently to yourself, don't broadcast it out loud, it gives me goosebumps."

"Hahaha, good, insect-fearing master."

Xiangxiang was collecting insects, and Song Anning hurried to pull out plants, not just blackberries. There were treasures everywhere in the primeval forest. He kept some small plants and collected all the rest.

Finally, when Song An Ning had almost finished plucking the area, Xiangxiang began to report her results.

"Master, Xiangxiang just collected 103 kinds of insects. After deducting the handling fee, the total amount received is 183 taels of silver."

“I didn’t expect these bugs to be so valuable.”

Song Anning looked around. The seemingly ordinary hillside actually had so many small lives. The velvet worm that Xiangxiang mentioned just now was a very evil hunting expert.

She knew very well that there were all kinds of strange species in the primeval forests and rainforests, and it would be difficult to get out alive without a protective shield.

"Okay, Xiangxiang, let Number One and Wei Thirteen follow me, and let's go inside."

"Alright, I just collected 310 kilograms of blackberries, of which 13 guards, number one, picked 233 kilograms, and the total credited to me is 28 taels and 670 coins."

The three of them continued to walk deeper into the woods, picking a lot of plants along the way. The two items [Unlocked Species] and [Wealth] on the system panel continued to grow.

It was afternoon, but Song Anning could not see the sun above his head at all. The forest was blocked out by the sun, and the ancient trees were covered with moss and ferns.

At this moment, white gas suddenly filled the woods. Song Anning's heart tightened. Is this the legendary miasma?

The sun outside is so bright, but it has no effect here at all.

"Xiangxiang, the shield is set up so that no animals or gases can get in except the three of us, right?"

Song Anning confirmed with Xiangxiang several times that encountering miasma is no joke, this thing can kill people invisibly.

"Master, don't worry. Xiangxiang just confirmed twice that nothing can get in. Go forward boldly!"

Because of the miasma, visibility around them was getting lower and lower. Looking at the surrounding scene, Song Anning felt his hair stand on end.

Fortunately, Wei Shisan and Number One came with her. If she was alone, she would be really scared!

When vision is limited, people will instinctively feel fear. In addition, she had heard many terrifying legends about the primeval forest in her previous life. Now that she was there, she felt indescribable fear in her heart.

The surroundings fell into an eerie silence, and the original bird calls disappeared without a trace due to the arrival of the miasma.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound.

That sound, like someone stepping on a dry branch behind me, was getting closer and closer...
