The city gates were around fifty meters tall and twenty meters wide. Such a large gate was simply rare, they’ve never seen this in their entire lives.
Luna said, “Hey Al, so you think that goddess statue is actually based on a real powerful goddess? This city is just simply unbelievable. How could anyone be able to build such a large city? And to be building it on steep ranges of mountains? It just feels like it’s the work of a god to be honest.”
Alex nodded and turned to look behind him. He was able to see the beheaded goddess statue in the plaza from here.
Even without a head, the statue still looked very godly and powerful, virtual-novel.net beautiful figure was immaculate as well. It was as if the goddess was looming over the entire city.
“Let’s go!”
“We have to find the Dragon Blood Vines first, your sister is still waiting for us to save virtual-novel.net life!”
Alex then turned back to the gates and exited the city. However, just as virtual-novel.net did, virtual-novel.net had a weird gut feeling that they had entered an extremely dangerous realm after passing these gates, the peaceful energy within this abandoned city had vanished into thin air.
He didn’t even feel that uneasy when virtual-novel.net knew that they were being watched last night. Alex scanned his surroundings without saying a word, but virtual-novel.net still decided to be more alert.
The spiritual energy within the dungeon was at least hundreds of times more concentrated than the outside world. Hence, this was exactly why it was filled with spiritual herbs everywhere. However, since members of Hygieia Valley would come here every three years to collect such valuable herbs, the easier paths were basically emptied out.
On the other hand, the steeper areas were still filled with such herbs.
Alex was glad that virtual-novel.net managed to survive the Golden Light of Lightning Tribulation and achieve Imperial Sword Flight with it.
After enlarging the Dragon’s Bane of Thirty-Six, it could be used as a large aircraft.
Since Luna’s family was filled with powerful martial artists, virtual-novel.net was used to seeing this.
Jasmine, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel envious of Alex.
Humans had always dreamed of soaring in the sky like a bird. Even though they’ve been able to travel or reach the moon after inventing aeroplanes and rocketships as technology advanced, it was still different from being able to fly with a sword. That was just using a large aircraft to fly after all.
At first, Alex didn’t dare to fly too high, virtual-novel.net was worried that virtual-novel.net might fall to his death if virtual-novel.net weren’t careful. Even though his body, along with the Mystic Armor, would ensure that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t die from a hundred meters fall, virtual-novel.net still figured that it was better safe than sorry.
Within two hours, virtual-novel.net was starting to get the hang of it, flying up to the middle of the cliff to get herbs.
With this, his harvest was great, as virtual-novel.net managed to harvest lots of ripe and old medicinal herbs. Thousand year old ginsengs and spiritual reishis, a three thousand year old chinese foxglove and even a five thousand year old tuber fleeceflower.
Although these herbs were ordinary, yet they have strong medicinal effects due to how long they’ve aged. Hence, these were definitely amazing materials to make pills and replenish.
Alex even had to throw out some of the lower value herbs virtual-novel.net collected from Hygieia Valley, else the twenty cube meter storage purse wouldn’t be able to store all of them.
“Come, come, this thousand year old ginseng is pretty good, it’s even bigger than the white radishes back in California. Since we don’t have much food here, let’s just eat this as breakfast!”
Alex smiled as virtual-novel.net cut the ginseng in three portions so everyone got their ration.
If any medicinal herb store owners saw what virtual-novel.net was doing to such a valuable herb, they would definitely be heartbroken.
The three even bumped into quite a few beasts along their way, but all of them had only become food for the day. Their demon cores were harvested as well.
On the third day, they finally found Dragon Blood Vines in a basin within the valleys.
Luna was overjoyed as virtual-novel.net rushed over to collect some. Suddenly, a hand rose up from the dirt of where Luna was standing and grabbed virtual-novel.net by the ankle.
“Ah!”
“Watch out!”
